Beauty Reviews

I always get excited to try a new product out – I get even more excited when it’s a total hit!! I’ve had a few great experiences lately and one not so great one that I thought I’d share – because keeping things to yourself is not what we’re about!! Secrets just don’t make friends…

Organix Shampoo & Conditioner

OGX offers a wide variety of hair products and I decided to go with the coconut milk shampoo & conditioner. I’ve been using it for about 2 months and see that my hair is so silky and smooth for at least two days after washing. It’s priced at $7.49 at Wallgreen’s but if you catch a buy one get one free – it’s totally worth it! 

Boots Botanics Conditioning Clay Mask

You may remember from this post that this mask was received via the Influencer box. This is one of the best masks I have ever used – you instantly feel your skin tightening. I have been hearing great things about the GlamGlow mask and the reviews are very similar to the results you get from the Boot’s Clay Mask  for a fraction of the price. I’ve noticed that my make-up goes on smoother and my skin is so radiant after use (I use the mask once a week). Definitely purchasing after I run out! 

Urban Decay Setting Spray

Ok – I know I’m a little late to the party on this one – but this is the best!!! Thanks so much to Katiefor the recommendation. I opted for the 1 oz. bottle vs. the 4 oz. because how often do I really need my make-up to stay on for longer than 16 hours?! Also, the benefit to the 1 oz. is that you can have it in your carry-on versus having to check it! If you’re not 100% ready to pull the trigger – try the 1 oz. because it’s only $14!! You won’t regret it!

Now onto the not so great!

Maybelline Define-A-Line Eye Liner

I had really high hopes for this – but sadly it just fell short for me. The photo on the right shows the smudge with just a little swipe for my finger. It claims to have “all day wear” but at the end of the day I ended up looking like a raccoon which is not the look I’m going for!! This is going to be a pass for me…so much so, that I actually threw it away!

Do you have any products that you were excited to try, but just wasn’t that great? Anything you care to share that is a must buy for you?

Thanks so much for reading!!

Biana
