Sept 5 Firsts and Finals

Firsts
*Innisfree Green Tea Enzyme PHA Toner  Feels very good on the skin, refreshing.
*Sephora collection caffeine eye masks  Even at room temp, these have a cooling effect.  They do depuff and I'm glad I scored a few when I could.
*Tower28 Juice Balm in Squeeze  Pretty color.  Very creamy crayon, not sticky.

Finals
*Flower In Your Prime Hydrating Primer  It's smoothing and feels nice on the skin.  Would repurchase at some point.

Aug 29 Firsts and Finals

Firsts
*Gourmande Girls x Ladybug Glow palette in El Camino  I've had this for quite some time and just now tried it out.  It's fine.  The colors are pretty and blend well, but without a strong primer they fade very quickly.  With a strong primer, they make it to dinner.  They're for lunch out, not all day wear.

Finals
*Dionis Hydromilk 24-7 moisturizer  Nice lotion, very hydrating.
*elf Lash Xtndr  Lots of length.  I like it best layered with a volumizing mascara.
*Saturday Skin pretty pop  Very soothing skin cream.

Aug 15 Firsts and Finals

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.
