*Please note that these are my thoughts and opinions on these products. They may work for you but not for me or vice versa.
Skin Care
Live Botanicals (Another Blog Post of these products.)
Luna - Rose + Chia Moisturizing Facial Cleanser - A natural hydrating cleanser, cleanses while nourishes. I notice as I got to the end the texture & smell had changed, it was a little off or went bad. I really enjoyed these products. Would repurchase in the future!👍💚
AER- Aloe + Green Tea - This product was very hydrating to my skin and holds moisture into the skin. No smell, great under makeup. I noticed getting to the bottom the product gets thicker, harder to smooth into the skin. Would repurchase because it works! 👍💙
Beauty Counter Charcoal Mask - My son & I both used this mask and it was a nice detoxifying mask, clarifying, cleanses the skin. Recommend to try it, the mask is cleaner than most on the market. 👍
Tata Harper Clarifying Spot Treatment - It didn't do anything for my skin at all. It didn't prevent my pimple from coming through, I applied it 2 to three times a day. Herbal smelling.
Not purchase Full size. 👎
Leaders Insolution AC Clear Treatment Mask - I purchase these to calm my skin after a product irritated my skin. This product really reduces my redness, balance my skin, and calmed & reduced breakouts. Would repurchase! 👍
Tarte Deep Dive Cleansing Gel - This product wasn't what I thought it would be. It wasn't drying but bit hydrating. It did cleanse the skin without irritating my sensitive skin. 👍
Tarte Ready, Set, Radiant Skin Mist - Okay, this product nostalgic smell got me! Reminded me of my grandma, she loved the cucumber- melon fragrance at bath & body works.
This product mist was bad, splotchy on the skin, and irritated & broke out my skin. 👎

Drunk Elephant Skincare @drunkelephantskincare
1. T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum - I felt it work! my skin was smooth texture, gentle on my skin, has that glycolic smell. At first, it was a little tingly but my skin got used to it over time. I used it at night and used it with other drunk elephant products "the littles set" I would repurchase! 👍
2. C-Firma Day Serum - I don't know if it has done anything for my skin as firm & brighten. It did have that vitamin c smell that some products smell like. At first, I felt my skin didn't like it but I push through and my skin started to adjust to it. I love it as a combo with B- hydra gel. Hmmm.. I don't know if I repurchase.
3. B- Hydra Intensive Hydration Gel - Really I thought what does this do? I felt what a waste of product.. meh. I combo it with C- Firma Serum and it was a dream! Now, I could see this product really moisturize my skin. As you see in the photo every drunk elephant product I took apart to get every drop of product. Would repurchase as a combo with C-Firma. 👍
4. Pekke Bar - Not shown because of its a soap bar but really balanced, moisturizing & cleansing but gently on my skin. Would repurchase 👍
5. Umbra Sheer Physical Daily Defense - It nice that they included a sun protection with this kit of skincare products. This product wasn't too heavy, work well with other drunk elephant products. I like other sun protection brands but it did its job!
Body Care
Nour- ish Bath Fizzies - I enjoyed adding them to the bath, some were more moisturizing than others but I couldn't use them all the time due to cornstarch in them can irritate my skin. Nice smell. 👍
Nour-ish Liquid Soap - Citrus Splash - This product was easy to use, left my hands clean, nice smell, and moisturizing. 👍
Amaki Flowers & Salts Bath Soak - The smell of lavender, rose, and essential oils. Therapeutic for the body with dead sea salt & Epsom salt. Leaves the bath flowery but beautiful.
Would repurchase! 👍
Ursa Major of VT Morning Mojo Soap Bar - This is a repeat purchase! My husband loves it! It exfoliates, cleanses, and a wake-up smell! Will repurchase! 👍💚
Moon+ Sea Bangarang Body scrub in lemon/peppermint - Love it! This item was sent to me for a review. I would have not tried it if the owner didn't send this product to me. Therapeutic, smooth, hydrates the skin and reduces those bumps on the back of my arms. I have a whole blog post on this product. Will repurchase in the future! 👍💗
Agent Nateur Holi Rose Deodorant - Om...yes! This deodorant really works as keeping me fresh. Rose is a lovely feminine smell. Have repurchase two x original, three x rose, holi(man). Will repurchase in the future! 👍💗
Coola Sun Care - Enjoy Coola suncare but this tube went bad fast before using it up. Lip tint gives a nice tint but didn't last especially if the heat gets to it. Maybe repurchase.
Patyka Almond Blossom Moisturizing Body Milk - Smelled yummy, its moisturizing but after just a short amount of time, it reeked of alcohol. Hmmm??? Questionable ingredients for someone that has very dry skin.
Similasan Allergy Eye Relief - This product is my favorite eye drops. I have repurchased allergy relief & dry eye ones on repeatedly. Will repurchase! 👍💕
Hair Care
Triesta Organics
Clarifying Treatment - Really does clarify but I couldn't handle the smell.
Moisturizing Shampoo & Conditioner - I really tried to use this but the smell was just ugh.
Blow-dry Styling Gel - Did detangle my hair and makes it easy to blowdry.
Will not repurchase. 👎
Innersense Color Awakening Shampoo & Daily Conditioner - I was okay but didn't do anything special for my hair but did leave it a little build-up I felt. meh..

Rahua Beauty Voluminous Shampoo & Conditioner - Nope, this one isn't for me. It's a little drying so it doesn't weight down, not a fan of the smell (different from original). Not repurchase. 👎
This was in a travel set:

Rahua Hair Detox & Renewal Treatment Kit - Yes, I love it! Really does a detox, cleanse, removes build-up. It's pricey though which is a bummer. I won this in a giveaway. I have a full review on another post. 👍💗

Briogeo Don't Despair Repair! Deep Conditioner Mask - Love this, the smell of rose, almond oil, and citrus. It's a light mask but gentle, moisturizing, cleanses out nicely. Would repurchase! 👍

Flourish Natural Body Care Lavender Mint + Wild Clover Shampoo & Conditioner - It's a nice shampoo & conditioner, not too heavy, soft, silky, cleanses but it was a little oily the next day. I learned that a product was a little over the oils in it. It was a nice shampoo & conditioner but I think I will try a different one. Not a big fan of Lavender. Will try again!
Macadamia Deep Repair Masque - I used this once before but I forgot this irritated my scalp. Would not repurchase.👎
Make-up
Fitglow Beauty Vita-Active Foundation in VF 1.5 - This foundation is like skincare in a foundation in natural/ food grade ingredients. I feel its lighter coverage than full. I have a blog post more on this product. If you're looking for a foundation with natural and skincare ingredients, give this one a try. Please note it good til a year of opening. I didn't finish mine after a year because it had gone bad.
Fitglow Redness Rescue Cream (RRC) - It does reduce redness but it not going to cure it. My other foundation didn't like to be applied over this product due it mix with it and balling up. It's okay but its pricey. On the fence on repurchasing either product.
Tarte Tarteist Pro Glow - This packaging is heavy, highlights easy fall apart, crumble and two highlighters look that same. So, I de-potted the products and few broke. I kept creamy contour, pressed contour, two highlighters that didn't break. Okay, palette but will not repurchase.👎

Lily Lolo Sculpt & Glow Contour Duo - I used most of the sculpt shade before I dropped it. I was a nice contour shade. The highlight wasn't really a fan plus it started to smell funny. Sculpt 👍 Highlight meh..
100% Pure Concealer - Good shade match but pricey, doesn't last very long. Will not repurchase.👎
Bite Beauty Matte Crayons kit with four from two Christmas ago has finally gone bad. Two Shade coulis & aubergine which I didn't use that much. Other Matte crayons will purchase. 👍
Lily Lolo Mineral Foundation SPF 15 in Candy Cane - Yes, a love. Doesn't dry my skin out, goes on fast with a kabuki brush. My on the go foundation. Have repurchased twice! I have a backup. Have a post more on this product.👍
Kani Botanicals Galaxy Milk Illuminating Beauty Oil - This product is universal for a primer highlight before foundation, mix with body lotions, as a highlighter, and other uses. I've had to shake this product very hard because it can get stuck in the dropper. It a mix of little sparkle & bigger sparkler. Over time it gets chunky. Maybe repurchase.
Honest Beauty Truly Lush Mascara + Primer - The mascara is okay but I really like is the primer. I would just repurchase for the primer.
Lancome Click & Glow - No, not a fan because it clicks pen takes forever to get the product and not very sanitizing sponge applicator and chunky highlight. Received this in Influester box. Not purchasing.
Hourglass Girl Lip Stylo in Peacemaker - I think I would like it if it was in a different color so I use it as a lip liner. Otherwise, It looks dead on my lips. I like the pencil style, easy to use, good pigment. Maybe try a different color.
Kat Von D Beauty Studded Kiss Lipsticks in Mother & Lolita II - In limited edition packaging, matte look, and awesome pigment. Maybe repurchase.
Thanks for Checking out My Empties.
