*Lazy Days tinted lip balm in Iced Latte  Yes, it IS a dupe.  A very good dupe.  And it's $4.  I'm going back for more 'shades' (the tint is VERY faint)

*le Mercerie Makeup Setting Spray  It works, in the short term.  This is not a 'all night' setting spray, but, especially for the price, it's pretty good for short duty.

Finals

*Too Faced Be My Lover palette  It's so cute, but SO not pigmented.  This is the worst Too Faced palette I've ever had and I'm throwing in the towel.  While buildable, I should not HAVE to build up every single color.

*LA Colors Shadow Stick in Grace  No.  Second color try, this one is deeper, but it's a 'no' for me.  Still barely shows.

*LA Splash Vitamin C Brightening Jelly Eye Masks  GIRL!  I can vacuum with these on and they don't move.  When I remove them?  It's like I got a good nap.  These are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!  Twenty pair for $l.25?  Yes, ma'am, all day long!

*River & Rowe Honey Drip Body Milk  Very hydrating and smells amazing!

*spa*scentials chill soothing foot cream  Smells amazing, does have a cooling feel, did not have any effect on dryness.

Finals

*bPure Hydrating Primer Serum with Rose Oil  It was very okay, not BAD, but not the best Rose Oil ever.  For the price, pretty dang good!

*CoverGirl Clean Fresh balm in You're the Pom  Very basic, waxy, 'balm', that had a decent color for a light makeup day.

*LA Splash eye masks, R&R body milk

*bPure Lip Jelly & Cheek Tint in Peony  Scary bright in the tube, it gives a very nice, subtle flush on the cheek.

*First Aid Beauty Hydrating Dewy Gel Cream  Absorbs quickly and is very hydrating.

*LA Colors Makeup Stick in Pink Satin  Too pale on me for an eyeshadow, but makes a pretty highlighter.

*Maybelline The Falsies Lash Lift Mascara  Top-tier mascara!  Gives length, volume, and definition.

*Soroci Vita-C Intensive Serum  Very good C serum.  

Finals

*Maybelline Colossal Big Shot Mascara  Adequate for a home day, but not 'colossal volume'.

*marie claire Defining & Volumizing Mascara  It did define, but gave no volume.  It's meh.

*MCoBeauty Miracle Flawless Pressed Powder  Very impressive.  Solid dupe for CT for 1/3 cost.

*ShainaB gel liner in Cafecito  Pretty color, glides on with no tug.  Lasted all day in my waterline.

Finals

*Beauty Vaulte Lengthening Mascara  I did like this better as it dried out a bit (too wet on first try) and it did give length.  It's okay.

*Miyueleni Natural Green Hand Cream in Rose  It smells fantastic.  The 'cream' is a very watery lotion that gives zero hydration.  I used it for the scent and had to follow up with an unscented cream.

*OleHenriksen Truth Serum  I really like this serum and will repurchase at some point.

*Versace Bright Crystal  Nice bright scent.

*Blossom Essentials Hydration Repair Honey Lip Balm  Smells like honey, but feels like honey.  VERY soft, literally feels like smearing on a glob of honey.  Not a fan.

*LASplash Vitamin C Brightening Jelly Eye Masks  FANTASTIC!  So hydrating and they stay on while I move around.  Twenty pair for $1.25?  ALL day! 

*MCoBeauty liner and lippie in Very Shelley  Straight up Pillow Talk for 1/3 the cost.

*Tocca parfum in Laila  Very nice.  Smells rich.

*bPure Multipurpose Hair Oil  Smells AMAZING!  I first used a bit on dry hair.  Tamed some frizzies.  The next day, I slathered it and left it for a few hours, then washed/styled.  Wow.  My hair was soft, with volume, and no frizz.  All my besties are getting a bottle.

*GlobalBeautyCare Snail Mucin Essence and Moisturizer  My face was so soft the next morning!

*Soft As Heel smoothing heel patch  Actually stayed on, even with walking around the house.  Heels are softer with no more effort than basically applying a big bandaid.  Besties are getting this, too.

*The Spathecary Peaches & Cream Brightening Body Butter  This smells like a fresh peach.  The butter is quite thick and feels very hydrating.
