Big mutha of a review!
- Purity Made Simple face wash by Philosophy - This was a Sephora sample. Very gentle on my skin and is a highly effective face wash. If it was organic or natural I would switch to it, but alas tis not.
- Mint Truffle sugared body polish by Wylde Ivy - I am a fan of their scrubs since they are gentle on the skin but great at exfoliation. The mint side was more pleasing to this scent then the chocolate. Overall though I was happy.
- Rich Rose Glitter lipstick by Sephora - I have never tried any products from the actual Sephora line before. This was disappointing. The red is not rich or deep at all. In fact it goes on very much like a gloss instead of a lipstick and this causes the color to look very translucent. The lack of depth causes the color to look orange red instead of a rich red.
- Brow Powder Duo by Anastasia - Another Sephora sample from my latest order. Holy cow this stuff works great for me. I have eyebrows that tend to grow thiner on the outer edges of my brow line. From a distance of 10 feet or farther from me you might think my eyebrows only go half way across my eye. This is not due to over plucking, the ends have just always been smaller. I have tried Anastasia's brow serum before, to help with eyebrow growth, and while it stimulates the hairs it won't make hair grow where it never grew before. This powder works great to fill in brows for longer bridges and a fuller look. It is smudge proof and allows you to custom blend your color!
- Shea Butter Foot Cream by L'Occitane - Sample again. Good consistency, not too thick, not too thin. Moisturizes feet well but that arnica extract does not smell pleasant.
- Pomegranate Cocoa Butter Salt Bar by Wylde Ivy - I have also been a fan of these salt bars when using them in the past. It is not a product you want to use everyday since it is more abrasive to the skin. These are very useful for feet year round, and also for elbow and knees if you use a self tanner. This did not smell anything like pomegranate, that made me sad because I love pomegranates. Smelled more like fading flowers.
More reviews to come as I finish testing some more products from my latest orders and samples!
