Firsts

*Beauty Vaulte Lenthening Mascara  HATE the wand and formula is WET, but it does give (messy) length.  I think when it dries out a bit I will like it more.

*Clinique Moisure Surge Active Glow Serum  Clinique is an OG for skin care.  The serum does give a dewy effect.

*Dermalactives Intense Firming Eye Serum  Vanished instantly into skin and under eyes do look more rested.

*Rachel Couture Lipstick in Nude  Shade is pretty, lipstick is waxy.  No thanks.

Firsts

*dani beauty Glow Glycolic Serum  Okay, doesn't spread as easily as others, but does appear to have a positive effect on skin.

*dani beauty Moisturizing Night Cream  VERY nice!  Skin is happy in the morning.  I worked a bit too long outside and my face felt tight and on the edge of burn.  I smeared this on and an hour later face was just fine.

  

Finals

*Neutrogena radiant primer + serum  Nice, but I didn't reach for it enough.  It separated, so out it goes.

*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.

*Vacation SPF30 Baby Oil  Took me back to the 80s, but with SPF.  Smells great and, with a light application, isn't greasy.

  

Finals

*Head & Hair Heal Shampoo/Conditioner  My hair loves this and I will definitely repurchase.

*Maybelline Baby Lips lip crayon in Sassy Scarlet  Creamy, color lasts, but it's past its time and drying out.

*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.

*Acure Seriously Soothing Blue Tansy Oil  Def repurchase, this is perfect at night when my face is having any issue.  Whatever the problem, it's calmed by the morning.

*belif Super Drops serum  Really like this serum.  It gives dewy, not disco.  It's nice on its own, as well.

*belif True Cream moisturizing bomb  Long-time fave, def repurchase.
