*Buxom Power Line Plumping Lip Liner  I didn't see any plumping, but it lasted all day.

*COXRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence  Feels very hydrating.

*L'Oreal Infallible Blur-fection powder  Perfect for under eyes.  Blurs, brightens, doesn't cake up.

Firsts

*elf Power Grip Primer  + Niacinamide  It feels like epoxy when it goes on, but it HOLDS.  Long day, hot, humid, makeup didn't budge.

*ioni Energizing Glow Mist in Cherry Melon Sprays a lot at a time, feels like water.  It smells good, so that's a pick-me-up.  Not sure about 'energizing' or 'glow', I just looked wet.

*PaulMitchell BondRx  A little goes a long way.  It does add shine and fight frizz, even in high humidity.

*tatcha Dewy Skin Cream  Another hit.  This brand doesn't miss.

  

Finals

*Mischa Beauty Sheer Glow Primer  I really like this and will likely repurchase.

*What's Up Beauty Posytivity Primer  Decent primer, but not a fave.

Firsts

*benefit dew-la-la  Two drops mixed into foundation gave a hint of dewiness.

*bPure Silky Lip Cream in Pink Velvet  Alleged tarte maracuja lip dupe.  It's close.  Far tackier and traveled, but color is pretty.

*Dionis Hydromilk 24-7 Moisturizer  Nice lotion!  Gave moisture without tackiness.

*Head & Hair Heal Shampoo and Conditioner  Great scent, great lather, my hair had VOLUME!

*Neptune Hydrate & Blur Hyaluronic Acid Serum  Really like this serum.  Sinks in, hydrates and plumps.  The bottle is pretty and the serum is purple!

*Rodial Vit C papaya enzyme scrub  Smells AMAZING!  Gentle, but effective exfoliating scrub.

*Truly Vanilla Baby Luxury Body Oil  Sinks in, so you don't feel 'oily', and smells fantastic.  Perfect for summer.

*Babor Collagen Firming Ampoule Serum Concentrates  The 'break the glass' vial is gimmicky and wasteful.  There was more product than needed for an application, but no way to 'save' the rest.  I came back an hour later and reapplied.  My skin is hydrated, but still tacky.  This is not 'apply before makeup'.  At $50/7 vials, I will not repurchase.

*HausLabs PHD Hybrid Lip Glaze in Guava  Pretty color, sheer.  Product feels hydrating, but is still sticky an hour later.

*LA Colors Metallic Liquid Eye Liner in Lavender  Pretty color, definitely metallic.  Some flaking, but overall fairly long lasting.
