Davines Minu Shampoo

The fresh citrus scented shampoo promises to help hair retain its color during washing. The eco-friendly shampoo promises to safely and gently cleanse hair while protecting color so it lasts longer. It is packed with caper blossom extract and a blend of surfactants to leave hair shiny, refreshed and not weighed down. When I got the shampoo I was in love with the scent (I have a few remaining strands of colored hair) but fell out of love with it after a few uses. It was an expensive bottle to throw away, I gave it to my roommate who loved the scent. We didn’t notice any color guarding but they would be purchasing the shampoo again because they loved the scent.

LAQA & CO Cheeky Lip - Humblebrag

The creamy lip pencil imparted a vibrant matte rosy pink color. It went on smoothly had a decent staying power.  Not my favorite color but I am open to trying other colors from the brand.

Kimberly Parry Organics Sweet Orange & Cranberry Scrub

I had received this product in my one of my subscriptions boxes in 2015. Yes, I know, I now got around to using it! The sweet scented scrub is packed with pieces of actual cranberries! Cranberries are known for their antioxidant properties that help offset the damage caused by free radicals. Oranges have an astringent characteristics like most citrus fruit and they help clean and tone skin.The clumpy scrub went in easily and it didn’t feel rough against my skin. It left a thin layer of “sheen” or hydration to my skin and I didn’t need to follow up with lotion.  Sadly, I don’t believe they are selling the product anymore, which stinks because it was awesome.

Petitfee Placenta Hydro Gel Essence Mask Pack 98% Hydro Gel

I finally got around to using this mask that was in my Memebox I bought earlier in 2015. At first, I was a little skeptical of putting it on because it was made with Placenta --- like _that_ type of placenta or more like placenta from a flower. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to find much information online that was in English. The clear liquid (utilizes deep sea water) itself smelled and looked okay -- but it took a bit to get over the ick and unknown factor to me. The mask was composed of hydrogel and still kept my skin moisturize and soft after removing the mask. The mask did fit my face but not a perfect fit but I would try this mask again if I could find it under $4 for each one.

Talika Eye Therapy Patch

I suffer from the occasional under eye puffiness but more often than not I am sporting racoon eyes. The dry patch has a slight gooey backing which is applied to the skin around the eyes. I usually have used eye masks that are saturated in serum so this was a bit new to me. The patch promises in 30 minutes to moisturize and deliver antiaging benefits to the skin. The reusable and washable patch gradually releases ingredients for a “lasting” treatment tool. I was able to get two uses (it started looking disgusting/glue wore off and I wasn’t sure if it would work after washing it) but  didn’t really notice much a difference to keep utilizing the patches.

Salt Skill Himalayan Pink Salt Body Scrub - Lavender

I had received this body scrub for my birthday from a friend and I couldn’t find much information about the product. The scrub is enriched with minerals, oils and bits of lavender. The salt was coarse but had a bit texture when you can scoop up some product (but it was still on the drier side). My skin was left smooth,soft and hydrated. The lavender scent was very faint but relaxing.
