I got this mini lipstick with order a couple months ago or so. The lipstick was a bright coral pink. It went creamy and surprisingly it was matte and moisturizing. After the color wore off, it left soft subtle stain. Personally, I wasn't a fan of the color. I think it was to bright for my skin color. I tend to like more darker colors. I noticed that when I applied the lipstick directly on dry lips, the color pooled in the dry skin. When I applied lip balm prior and I didn't have the problem anymore. Overall, I love the lipstick and I can't wait to try Grenat InitiƩ next.

Pino Facial Mask in Milk & Honey
The
best way to relax after stressful week is to apply a nice facial mask
and binge watch TV shows. The facial mask is packed with honey extracts,
soothing milk proteins, and pro-vitamin B5. The mask had a citrusy
scent with a bit of honey and milk notes but it was a bit strong
especially since this mask is made for people with sensitive skin. After
removing the mask, my skin scented with the citrusy scent and my face
felt a bit tight afterwards. My face did feel softer, smoother, and a
bit more radiant as soon as I removed the mask. After applying a bit of
lotion, my skin looked and felt amazing. I would definitely get this
again if it wasn’t 10 masks for $80. While it isn’t the most expensive
masks, I might wait until I have a bit more discretionary spending money
for before I get it again :)

Eminence Organic Skin Care Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant
The
rice based exfoliant is safe for all skin types and can be used daily.
The exfoliant is packed with good for you ingredients such as
strawberry extracts, salicylic acid, ascorbic acid, vitamins, lactic
acid, rice, chickpea flour, thermal mud, oats, Coenzyme Q10, and Alpha
Lipoic Acid. The scrub promises to exfoliates and removes impurities to
brighten skin and shrink pores. The powder scrub is very easy to use. I
like how you can make the scrub dry or more liquidy by adding water. I
usually like my scrubs a bit drier although, I do have sensitive skin
and does make my skin a bit raw but I feel like I get a more thorough
clean. My skin does feel a bit tight after using the scrub but when I
followed up with lotion my skin felt soft, smooth and dewy.

Stila Artful Eye Collector's Edition Volume 3
I bought this during the Black Friday deal with Sephora for around $10. The 5 eyeshadow are bold and highly pigmented. They went on smooth [except the blue one is a bit gritty] and very easy to blend. Only bad thing is the color doesn't stay put for long. They wear out after a couple of hours even with a primer.

Crazy Rumor Bee My Honey Lip Balm
The
100% all natural, cruelty free and vegan friendly is sweet scented like
honey. The shea butter packed lip balm is moisturizing and left my lips
soft and smooth. The lip balm is highly addictive as it left my lip
with a sweet taste. I actually preferred it a lot more than Burt’s Bees
Honey lip balm.
