Nick Chavez Plump n' Thick Shampoo

The volumizing shampoo promises to wash away dirt and excess oil while revitalizing fullness and lifeless locks. The shampoo is enriched with collagen, wheat protein, vitamin A, C, and E, retinol, keratin, panthenol, and amino acids. The shampoo provided a generous lather and washed out cleanly. My hair felt thicker and more luxurious than before. It is a little pricer than my normal everyday shampoo but, it has great results that I reserve it for special occasions.

Neutrogena Collagen Kiss Lip Mask

The lip sheet mask is packed with vitamin C, vitamin E, and collagen. The single-use mask promises to leave your lips looking fuller and plumper.  The mask was easy to apply and I had to lie down because it did keep slipping off my face. It did leave my lips soft and hydrated but, I did have to follow up with lip balm. I find that lip masks are more fun and relaxation purposes than anything else. I rarely see any results from them.

Purlisse Watermelon Energizing Face Sheet Mask

The Purlisse watermelon mask is enriched with watermelon, aloe vera, cucumber. The mask fits well and it left my face feeling refreshed and glowy. I sometimes pop these mask in the fridge for an ultra cooling effect that feels like a treat. However, for $5 per mask, it can be a bit pricey and so, I usually get the pack.

Berrisom Animal Mask - Sheep (Vitamin C + Arbutin)

The sheet printed mask is enriched with Vitamin C, ceramides, glacial water, and arbutin. The mask didn’t properly line up with my face but it stayed on mostly. The mask promises to help lighten dark spots caused by acne and sun damage. However, I didn’t notice any difference in my dark spots. My skin did feel soft, smooth and hydrated. A fun mask to take a selfie in though!

Urban Decay Lipstick - 714 Mega Matte

I love Urban Decay products they are highly pigmented and leaves my makeup looking flawless. The Mega Matte is billed as a super intense red matte color. The lipstick is enriched with jojoba, avocado, aloe vera, babassu oil, illipe tree, vitamin C and E. The color pigment was a bit disappointing. The color was bright or went on smoothly along with my lips feeling dry. I found this lipstick a bit of a disappointment for the price.

Wish Formula The Bat Eye Mask with Centella Honey Fermented Essence

The cotton eye patches are enriched with soybean extracts, fermented licorice, vitamin C, fermented honey essence and mistletoe extract. The bat shaped mask promises to brighten, soothe and reduce the appearance of fine lines. I put the mask and wait 30 minutes. The skin around my eyes felt smooth and softer but I didn’t notice any difference in my dark circles.

Jurlique Purely Bright with VitaBrightKX Night Moisturizer

I usually have a good opinion of Jurlique products, however, lately I tend to have more misses than anything. The night moisturizer promises a rich and creamy consistency but it seemed a bit watery and not as creamy as other night creams I have tried. Granted, because of the thin consistency, this night cream could be better suited for the warmer months than the colder months, where moisture and hydration is key. The overnight cream promises to minimize the appearance of dark spots/discoloration. The night cream is packed with sunflower and safflower oil, hyaluronic acid, kakadu plum extract, citrus unshiu peel extract, African birch extract and vitamin C. With a powerful cocktail of natural oils, antioxidants and vitamins -- one expects to be WOW’ed by the results. I didn’t notice any difference on my skin. My face still felt dry and my skin drank the lotion up. I think I am going to pass on Jurlique’s products for awhile.

SkinMedica TNS Eye Repair Age Control

The creamy lotion promises to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and puffiness around the eye region. It is packed with Vitamin E and Vitamin C to brighten and enrich skin. Since, I was using a deluxe size of the product --  I didn’t notice much results. Granted, I have read that many people saw results without applying too much. It’s a bit too pricey to splurge on the full size without being certain about the benefits.

Bliss Treat Yourself Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask

The vitamin C enriched formula delivers a shot of oxygen using FluidO2 to skin to brighten up skin’s complexion. The time released antioxidants moisturize skin and revitalized dull and lackluster skin. The citrus scented mask goes on smoothly and foams up. After washing the mask off, my face felt refresh and reenergized but a bit tight. After applying some lotion, my face felt better and looked ah-mazingly relaxed.

Lilian Fache Vitamin C Serum

The serum didn't have a strong noticeable scent when I used it. I have used other Vitamin C serums before and they usually have a "orange-y" scent. The serum is a bit thick; it has the consistency of Jello. Most of the serums I used were always water-y or oily in consistency. The applicator did a okay job at picking up the product. Some of the squeezes (even from a new bottle) no product was release or if it did, it was very bubbly. I assume, it's because of the consistency of the product that causes these issues. I found it easier just to "pour" some of the product onto my hand. Although, if you use too much of the product it leaves a bit of "white streaks (think along the lines of soap suds)" but these can be removed very quickly by working in the product. I applied the product mostly at night after cleansing and it kept my face smooth and soft. However, I didn't see any radiant skin or dramatic changes. I also used the serum on my boyfriend's back as he suffers from terrible acne. Using this after his salicylic acid treatments did help keep his dry skin at bay. I am not sure how true the anti-aging claims are as I have not noticed anything (and can't attest to it) but this serum does do a good job at hydrating and keeping skin soft.

Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Outlaw

The creamy full coverage bright brick red lipstick goes on smoothly. It leaves a nice matte finish and stains lips to give it an everlasting last.  The lipstick is fortified with vitamins A, C, and E to provide hydration to lips. I didn't notice any hydration benefit, though. I love the color but the stain didn't last very on me but the remnants of the color still looks pretty when topped with gloss.
