In the past few weeks I've used up quite a few products. I thought I would share with you what I used up, how I liked it, and if I would repurchase it! Regardless of my opinions, I encourage anyone to purchase anything that you are interested it and form your own opinion. Just because it didn't work for me, doesn't mean it won't work for you!
1. First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Face Moisturizer- I really enjoyed this moisturizer. It was light on my skin and didn't make me oily. Even though this is meant for dry skin, if you have combination skin I think it can work for you too. I have not repurchased because I'm using up some other moisturizers but I would repurchase in the future. I would recommend this to anyone with combination to dry skin and anyone with sensitive skin.
2. Urban Decay B6 Vitamin Complexion Prep Spray- I got a sample of this with an Urban Decay purchase and I must say I'm not a fan. I love Urban Decay and their sprays but I feel like this one did nothing for me. It is pretty expensive so I will not be repurchasing this particular facial spray.
3. Lush Cupcake Fresh Face Mask- I love this stuff! This is the third container I've gone through and something I make a point to pick up whenever I venture to a Lush. It really takes away extra oiliness on my skin and feels very cooling and just amazing. It does a great job at drawing out impurities without drying out my skin. I will definately repurchase and would recommend it to anyone with oily and acne prone skin.
4. Philosophy Purity Cleanser- I do not like this cleanser. Because of the added color, fragrance, and bad ingredients, I found that it caused a lot of sensitivity in my skin to the point where people noticed. It didn't do anything spectular to my skin where I would compromise either. It's not worth the hype it gets. I would NOT repurchase or recommend this product.
5. Mario Badescu Flower + Tonic Mask- I don't really know what to think about this product. It smelled amazing but I didn't notice a difference when I was using it. I probably wouldn't repurchase.
6. Michael Todd True Organics Charcoal Detox Cleanser- I love this cleanser! I swear it's magic in a bottle. My skin was in the best shape of my life when I was using this cleanser. I think this is really the reason my skin wasn't breaking out. The one downside is that it doesn't smell that great, but I can look past that. I highly highly recommend this to oily and acne prone skin and I will repurchase this soon.
7. Lush Catastrophe Cosmetic Fresh Face Mask- I bought this mask to use with my Cupcake mask. I put it every where but my T-zone. This mask smells AMAZING and because of the fresh blueberries it is loaded with antioxidants. I will repurchase this mask next time I adventure to a Lush and I would recommend this product to any skin type but especially to sensitive skin.
8. Lush Mask of Magnaminty- This is a good mask if your looking for that traditional green face mask. For me I don't think it does enough for me to justify buying it again. If I were to repurchase I would do so in the smaller size.
9. True Girl Cleansing Pear Wipe-Outs- This product is made for teenage skin and the concept is to bring this with you for after gym class or a workout to cleanse your skin without having to lug a cleanser. It's very convenient and smells great, but personally I prefer an actual cleanser. Would I repurchase? I'm not sure, but I would recommend this to active teens.
10. Per-fekt Skin Perfection Gel- I had this is the luminous shade and honestly I hated it. It had a consistency similar to the Benefit Porefessional. The directions said to pat this product into your skin instead of rubbing. I don't feel like it did anything. It didn't offer any coverage and didn't do anything to hide my pores. Thank goodness this was just a sample and not a full size because that would have been returned so fast.
11. Étude House Precious Mineral Bright Fit BB Cream- Now I completely understand what the hype around Asian BB creams were about! This offered amazing coverage while having amazing skin benefits. I really enjoyed this and I will be repurchasing.
12. Nourish Organic Face Lotion- I got this in an ipsy bag a few months ago and I did enjoy it. It had a very strong citrus scent of either orange or tangerine that I wasn't too crazy about. It was a nice moisturizer and I would repurchase it. I really liked to mix this in with my foundation to sheer it out for everyday wear. I am very interested in checking out more from this brand.
13. Origins Clear Improvement Mask- this product has so much hype surrounding it. It's a mask that tightens as it dries, which I personally love. I didn't think that this did anything for my skin. It's a good thing I didn't actually purchase this full size. I would probably not repurchase this product.
14. Mario Badescu Glycolic Foaming Cleanser- This product was just okay. It was just a basic foaming cleanser. I have other cleansers I like way better but I am happy I got the chance to test it out. I will not be repurchasing.
15. Klorane Soothing and Relaxing Eye Patches- This is a product I need would have bought for myself. I received these in an ipsy bag and thought they would be fun to try. They were very cooling and felt amazing! They were very sensitive skin friendly. I use these when I had irritated under eyes and it really helped soothe the area. I would repurchase these in the future.
16. Benefit It's Potent! Eye Cream- This product made my eyes sting. I tried this on multiple occasions to see if this was the cause of the stinging or if it was something else. It turns out that this is what caused it. I didn't use it long enough to know if it lives up to its claims. I would not recommend this and won't be repurchasing.
17. First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Lip Therapy- This is a good petrolatum free lip balm. It kept my lips soft and it was slightly minty. As it got to the end of its shelf life, I found it did seperate. Since I have other lip balms I love, I will not repurchase this any time soon.
18. Tarte Pure Maracuja Oil- This is the first beauty oil I had ever tried and I found that it was a good night time moisturizer but that's about all it did. Will not repurchase.
19. Korres Wild Rose + Vitamin C Brightening Sleeping Facial- This is another just okay product. It gave me soft skin in the morning, but that's not something my other moisturizers can't do. I don't think I'll be repurchasing.
20. Boscia Luminizing Black Mask- This mask is a peel-off mask and I hated it. It was painful to peel this off. I didn't see any visible results at all when using this product. I won't repurchase this mask.
21. WEI Royal Ming Firming and Hudrating Cream- I was very excited to try this product because I have never heard of this brand before. The scent of this product is AMAZING! On the downside I found this cream to be way too heavy for my skin and it caused a lot of sensitivity in my skin that was still there the next morning. A full size of the product (about 1 ounce) will run you about $100! Definately won't be buying this one.
Well that's it! All the products I've used up recently. I'm not trying to slam or talk bad about these brands in any way. Some of there products just didn't work out for me an my skin. I encourage anyone that is interested to try these products out for yourself and form your own opinion.
