Jun 12 Firsts and Finals

Firsts
*L'Oreal Age -Defying Serum Le Duo  LOVE!  It's been one week and my skin is more even.
*Lume deodorant in Soft Powder  Nope.  The product was rough, really drug the skin on application.
*Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil with Rosehip  I burned myself in May, so the scar is fresh, but one week of this oil has made it fade.

Finals
*CNP Laboratory Proplis Lipcerin  THICK balm, but good for a night mask.
*ColourPop Colour Stix in Happy Days  Creamy shadow stick.
*Le Mercerie liquid shadow  Pretty for day, but the tube dried out quickly.

*dew of the gods Filla Nitro  Love this eye cream!  Almost instantly smoothes
*l'Oreal Telescopic Extensionist mascara  VERY good.  Tons of length and some volume.

Finals
*d'Alba Aromatic Spray Serum  Nice serum.  Refreshing later in the day as well.
*Milani AntiGravity Mascara  Lots of length!
*YSL Loveshine Candy Glaze Gloss Lipstick in Showcasing Nude  This tube never left my bag.  I love everything but the price.  Gorgeous color, super hydrating, not sticky.  I was sad to end this one.  Said 'oh no, I've finished it' and she said 'You FINISHED a lipstick?  What IS that?' lol

May 8 Firsts and Finals

Firsts
*b*pure Lip Jelly & Cheek Tint in Coral  Far more subtle on the skin than in the tube.  Pretty shade, fairly long-wear.
*ioni Lip Pencil in Warm Nude  Super creamy pencil.
*Lip Smacker flip gloss in strawberry breeze  Fun flip-up action on the tube.  Smells like strawberry candy.  Very subtle pink color, but very hydrating.
*United Scents Elixir eau de parfum in Marshmallow Fluff  Very nice Kayali dupe.

Finals
*eos Shea Better lotion in vanilla cashmere  Great lotion and I love the scent.  Definite repurchase.
*Maybelline the Falsies Lash Lift  Very nice mascara, will likely repurchase at some point.

Apr 24 Firsts and Finals

Firsts
*b*pure Lip Jelly & Cheek Tint in Peony  Looks super intense in the tube, but is easy to sheer out.  Very pretty on the skin.
*Le Mercerie metallicshimmer liquid eyeshadow  This is an icy lavender and wears beautifully.  It goes on smooth, feels cool on application, dries down quickly and lasts.  The lavender, black liner, lashes and out the door.
*United Scents Scarlet Rogue  It's a $5B B450 dupe.  Not exact, but close.  For the cost difference, I will accept 'very close'.

Finals
*Dermasil Platinum Nourishing Foot Cream  HG foot cream!  Ordered another.
*elf dual-ended face brush  I did enjoy this foundation/concealer brush, but its time is done.  It has started shedding fiercely.

Firsts
*b*Pure Glow Up Serum Blush in Sunset Coral  Blends easily.  Out of the bottle, the color looks very intense, but it isn't as strong when blended.  Very pretty on the skin.
*b*Pure Hydrating Lip Oil in Nude  Not the most hydrating lip oil, but will work as a prep before applying lip color.
*Beauty Intuition Hydrating Lip Gloss in Mauve  Pretty color that skews just a bit towards lavender on me.  However, this is not hydrating or glossy, it's a matte liquid lipstick.
*Ulta Beauty Collection Concealer Brush  Easily gets right up to the lashline and the corner, blends beautifully.
*UZO Blaque Liquide Eyeliner  Very thin tip means you can get very precise.  Dries down quickly and lasts all day.
