I have finished up a ton more products—especially in regards to makeup. So, let’s cut to the chase and go over what I have recently used up!
Haircare
Dove Refresh + Care Invigorating Dry Shampoo
Pros: Smells amazing, inexpensive, no white residue
Cons: Don’t find it as effective as other dry shampoos
Repurchase? Yes because it is so affordable.
Skincare
Simple Cleansing Micellar Water
Pros: Easily and gently removes dirt, oil and makeup, does not irritate my skin or eyes, affordable, free of parabens, artificial fragrance and dyes, comparable to Bioderma
Cons: Wish this came in a larger size
Repurchase? Yes.
Pros: Intensely hydrating, relieves dry skin, multipurpose, gentle, does not clog pores, a little goes a long way, comes in a variety of sizes, love the nostalgic scent of this
Cons: Since it is a thick creme it does take some time to sink in
Repurchase? Yes! My boyfriend is also hooked on this creme.
Pros: Non-greasy, sinks quickly into the skin, hydrating, good for everyday, perfect size for handbag
Cons: Really do not like the scent of this
Repurchase? Not this one, but I would like to try the other ones in the range.
Bath & Body
Pros: Conditioning, soothing, prevents razor bumps, smells good, packaging does not leave a rust ring
Cons: Though it smells good it does not really smell like vanilla, the formula does not cling to the skin resulting in a lot of wasted product, did not prevent nicks
Repurchase? Probably not.
The Body Shop Vanilla Chai Shower Gel
Pros: Smells great, lathers up well, didn’t irritate skin, left skin feeling clean and soft
Cons: Seasonal scent
Repurchase? If they bring this seasonal scent back—yes.
Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Body Lotion
Pros: Evens out skin tone, paraben-free, cruelty-free, inexpensive, smells like hot chocolate, dry skin is nonexistent for me with this product, skin feels incredibly soft, perfect size for traveling
Cons: A lot of times it is not in stock, this size makes it harder to get the product out since there’s no pump
Repurchase? Always.
Makeup
Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream with SPF 35
Pros: Good coverage, good colour match, hydrating, oil-controlling, offers SPF 35
Cons: Found this would cling to dry patches, no longer sat right on my skin (may have gone off), pricey
Repurchase? No.
Essence Say No to Dark Circles Colour Correcting Concealer
Pros: Helps mask my dark circles, creamy formula, blends easily, wears well under concealer, affordable
Cons: Don’t get a lot of product in here
Repurchase? Yes, but not right away.
Pros: Sets makeup really well, evens out skin tone, absorbs excess oil, specifically helped neutralize the red in my skin, very affordable, love the sleek, black packaging
Cons: This powder can break easily, does not neutralize all my skin tone problems, contains talc
Repurchase? Already have.
Maybelline Line Stiletto Ultimate Precision Liquid Eyeliner
Pros: Jet black shade, wet formula that dries quickly, easy to use, did not dry out at all despite having this for years, affordable, long-wearing
Cons: Not waterproof, tip could be finer on this (but that’s me nitpicking)
Repurchase? Yes, this is one of my favourite liquid liners. However, I have a ton of other liquid liners to use up first.
Maybelline The Falsies Push Up Drama Mascara
Pros: Gives my lashes a dramatic look and a ton of volume, does not flake, easy to remove, affordable
Cons: Can clump if you apply too much, brush is not good on the bottom lashes
Repurchase? Yes, but not right away.
