Jan 6 Firsts and Finals

Firsts
*Ciate Marbled Light Illuminating Blusher in Halo  It looks rather plummy in the pan, but isn't on the check.  It's a subtle flush with a touch of shimmer.
*ColourPop Colour Stix in Happy Days  Creamy and long-lasting.
*ColourPop Super Shock Shadows in La Mesa and Rooftop Cocktails  Same great formula, two new-to-me colors.
*CoverGirl Tinted Lip Balm in Bliss You Berry  Great balm, beautiful color.
*elf Facial Oil Mist in Energizing  Love this.  It smells good and feels good on.  It's a great pick-me-up on a busy day.
*Laritzy Cream Highlighter in Virtue  Subtle, but buildable, this color is very pretty.
*Mario Badescu Vitamin C Serum  Feels good on, but I haven't noticed the benefits.
*Milk Hydro Grip Primer  It's hydrating, but a mid-level primer.
*Olay Eyes Deep Hydrating Eye Gel  Really good for day wear, soaks right in.
*Olay Hand Serum  I really like this.  I layer it with hand lotion at bedtime.
*Ofra Makeup Fixer  This smells amazing.  I would buy this scent.  As a spray, it's fine, nothing special.
*Ofra Sparklights Topper in Iconic  Gorgeous!  Adds just sparkle.
*Plant Therapy Soothe & Detoxify Scalp Serum  Really helps with winter's dry, itchy scalp.
*Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Vivid Labradorite  Pretty shade!  Lasts all day, no matter how long your day is, it's not budging.
*StriVectin Intensive Eye Concentrate  Very good eye serum.
*TRESemme Pro Pure Shampoo and Conditioner in 'light moisture'.  Nope.  It made my hair incredibly dry and frizzy.

Finals
*Arrow Radiant Skin Moisturizer  I would use it if it showed up in a box, but probably not a repurchase.
*Aveda Smooth Infusion  I have another, but will definitely repurchase this.
*bareMinerals Marvelous Moxie lipgloss  At least my second to finish off.  Love this color for a 'no makeup' day.
*Bb Al-Style Blow Dry cream  It's okay, Aveda's better.
*Bb Shine Finishing Spray  Pretty on, but there are cheaper alternatives.
*Bb Thickening Hairspray  Works well, but fairly pricey.
*Beauty Protector Protect & Detangle Leave-in Conditioner  Left my hair greasy.
*CeraVe Moisturizing Cream  Thick, but definitely works.
*Clinique Chubby Stick lip balm in Super Strawberry  Creamy, glossy, lasts all day.
*Da Bomb Rudolph Bomb  Great fizz and scent.  Little charms inside made cute earrings.
*elf Poreless Putty Primer  Definite repurchase.
*KMS Free Shape Quick Blow Dry  It did cut my dry-time down!
*L'oreal Boost It Air-blown Texture Mist  I've had this forever.  It doesn't really work as a 'booster' so I rarely used it.
*Physician's Formula Glow & Mood Boosting Blush  Pretty color, fades by afternoon.
*Pixi Glow Mist  Finished another, have already repurchased.
*Revlon Photoready Candid Glow in 270  Definite repurchase.  This is my go-to on a lazy day.
*the Balm The Manizer Sisters palette  Had it forever, finally done with it.  Good formula.
*the good stuff complete repair balm  Definite repurchase.
