Dec 12 Firsts and Finals

Firsts
*Ahava Overnight Skin De-Stressing Cream  Wow!  My face was having a freak out, red and flaky.  One night of this magic got it under control.  
*Good Molecules Niacinamide Brightening Toner  Excellent toner, does make my skin look smoother.
*Spa*scentials face & body oil in 'glow' (day) and 'smooth' (night)  'Your hands show your age' sigh  These two are making a difference.  They both feel nice and smell great.  Good find here!

Finals
*Pacifica Future Youth serum  Very nice serum, will repurchase when I have depleted others currently in rotation.

Faves
*Ahava cream, spa*scentials oils

Nov 28 Firsts and Finals

Firsts
*Morphe Cyber Chrome eye palette  Pretty color story.  Shadows were blendable and lasted through a very long day.
*Skin & Co Truffle Therapy Morning Dew  Gentle, but thorough, gel cleanser.
*tarte lights, camera, LASHES platinum mascara  Excellent mascara.


Finals
*Global Beauty Care Bedazzled gels  While they felt good, they slid.  These would only be good if you're going to lie back and take a few minutes of stillness.

Nov 14 Firsts and Finals

Firsts
*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.

Nov 7 Firsts and Finals

Firsts
*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.

Faves
*LA Splash eye masks, R&R body milk

Oct 31 Firsts and Finals

Firsts
*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'. 

Faves
*FAB cream, Falsies, Soroci serum
