I have a bunch of products that I've used up! This is my
favorite time to do product reviews because you have time to form a full
opinion on the product. I have a lot to go through, so get comfy and grab a
snack!
Skincare
Mario Badescu Acne Facial Cleanser- Lately
I’ve felt like the products I’ve been using have been a little too harsh, but I
still want to get rid of the breakouts I have in my problem areas. This
cleanser is great for acne because it clears your blemishes up, but still is
gentle on your skin. Right now I’m trying out the Cetaphil cleanser, but I
might go back to the Mario Badescu if I don’t end up liking Cetaphil.
Clinique All About Eyes- This is a really nice eye
cream for day and night. I bought this product on accident because I meant to
buy the rich version, which is a little thicker consistency. I still liked this
eye cream, but next time I will probably go back to the rich version.
Mary Kay Clearproof Cleanser- This is part of the
Mary Kay Clearproof Acne Set that I purchased a few months ago. It was a decent
cleanser, but I have other cleansers that I feel work better for my skin.
Boscia Self-Defense Vital Antioxidant Moisture-
This is a pretty nice daytime moisturizer. I wanted to try it out because I
LOVE the Boscia Super-Charge Overnight Moisture. I didn’t particularly love
this one, so I won’t be repurchasing.
Olay Fresh Effects Bright on Schedule Eye Awakening Cream-
This is a cooling eye cream that is great for the morning. I love the way it
feels to put under my eyes in the morning, and I definitely think it helps
de-puff the eye area.
Boscia Tsubaki Beauty Oil- I use beauty oil at
nighttime about once or twice a week. It’s nice to give your skin an extra
boost of moisture. This one from Boscia is light-weight, so it would be good if
you’re interested in trying beauty oil for the first time. In the future, I’ll
stick with my favorite oil, Josie Maran Argan Oil.
Boots Expert Sensitive Hydrating Serum- I
haven’t tried many serums, and I don’t usually think they have much affect on
my skin. This one is nice to add an extra boost of moisture, but I don’t think
it makes a big difference in my skin.
Million Dollar Tan Cabana Tan- I know everyone on
YouTube and in the beauty world raves about this self-tanner, but I am not a
fan! The pros are that it doesn’t smell bad and it gives a pretty natural
looking color. The major problem I have with this self-tanner is that it always
turns out very splotchy on me. I end up with spots that are too dark and spots
that look like there was no product. Also, it wears off within a few days and
gets very patchy! Let me know what is your favorite self-tanner. I’m ready for
a new one!
Hair Products
Batiste Dry Shampoo- I’ve talked about this dry
shampoo in my monthly favorites, and I absolutely love it! I will definitely
repurchase next time I make it to Ulta!
Tresemme Dry Shampoo- I don’t think this is a
terrible product, but I don’t think it’s the best at absorbing all the oil.
There are definitely better dry shampoos out there.
It’s a 10 Miracle Leave in Plus Keratin-
I’m pretty sure my hair is addicted to this product. It hydrates, detangles,
and makes styling much easier. Unfortunately, it’s pretty pricey and doesn’t
last very long. I’m on the hunt for a less expensive version, but for now it’s
my holy grail hair product!
Makeup
Urban Decay B6 Vitamin Infused Complexion Prep Spray- This
product is supposed to reduce redness, minimize pores, and absorb oil to prep
your skin for makeup. I didn’t notice any change in my skin or makeup, so I won’t
be repurchasing this product.
Benefit Porefessional- This is one of my favorite
primers. I like it because it fills in your pores, while also mattifying. This
is my 2nd or 3rd bottle I’ve used up, so it’s safe to say
I will repurchase again.
No7 Lift & Luminate Foundation- I
never hear anyone talk about this brand, but they have really great
foundations! This one has great coverage and is easy to apply. With the amount
of foundations I currently have, I won’t repurchase right away, but probably in
the future!
Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner- I
really like this eyeliner because it’s easy to use and is super black. The only
issue is that the felt tip gets flimsy after a while and makes it difficult to
do a wing.
Milani Eyeliner Pencil- This is a really nice
black pencil eyeliner. It glides on easily, and it’s easy to blend out with a
smudge brush. I need to get to CVS to buy another!
Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Eyeliner- I
can’t even tell you how many of these I’ve used. It’s my holy grail gel
eyeliner, and I repurchase over and over!
Too Faced Better Than False Lashes Nylon Lash Extension System-
Usually when I don’t like a product I give it at least 3 tries to give it a
chance. That was not the case with this product. First of all, the fibers fell
in my eyes, which I couldn’t stand. Then, when I put on the mascara, my top and
bottom lashes were sticking together so bad I had to take it off and use
different mascara before I even left for work. Needless to say, I don’t
recommend this mascara!
Urban Decay Setting Sprays (All Nighter and De Slick)- I
love both of these setting sprays. De Slick is my favorite for summer when my
skin is oilier. I like to use All Nighter during the fall and winter when I
don’t need to mattify my skin.
I’m glad I finally got around to writing this post, and now I can
throw my trash away! I’m thinking of doing a fall makeup look next so keep your
eyes out for that! J
