The wax strips didn't really work that well for me. The smaller strips are a good size to wax above and in between the eyebrows, but are too big to put under the arch area which is where I would use them. They also give you bigger strips and I tested them on just my cheek area and sideburns. It worked on the longer hairs on my face, not so much on my little fine hairs. The process itself is fairly easy and doesn't hurt that much. All you have to do is pull apart the two wax strips, lay the strip down in the direction of your hair, and then pull the strip off in the opposite direction. Each time I did this it was a hit or a miss, more so a miss. A lot of times I would pull off the strip and see no hairs on it and a lot of wax left of my face or see a few hairs on the strip, but nothing significant. These post-wax wipes are also included in the box. The wipes are soaked in some sort of oil and feel dry to the touch, but trust me they are oily. They do a very good job at removing the excess wax. I would probably give them another try once my hairs grow longer

After trying many different moisturizers, I have found my HG! I have tried both the oily/combination and the normal/dry skin one (I accidentally bought the dry skin one). Both moisturize my skin fantastically and doesn't make my skin shiny or oily. It leaves my face with a nice smooth texture. It is relatively cheap and can be bought at any drugstore, I believe it is about under ten dollars for a big container. Even the small travel sizes take a while to use up. I have used this product for about 5 months now and most of my acne scars have faded and the texture of my skin has improved greatly. I have recommended this product to many of my friends and family.

The Sebastian Stylbrid 9 is a fantastic product that is great for multitasking. To start off, this smells amazing. I can't quite put my finger on what scent it is, but I like it. It isn't too overpowering, like most hairsprays that have that chemical smell. As the name suggests, this hairspray has nine "uses." One of which is heat protection, making this the ideal product to use before and after styling with heat tools. I have fine hair with very little volume. It is very light, so my hair doesn't feel very weighed down and it leaves my hair soft, not crunchy. While I don't use hairspray often, I will most definitely use this more.

My friend received a sample in one of her beauty subscription boxes and decided to give me her Urban Decay Perversion sample. The actual mascara is super pigmented, I had a person compliment(?) me by saying that my eyelashes were SUPER BLACK. I don't notice a lot of flaking or clumping, but I do notice a bit of undereye smudging, but that is typical because I have puffy undereyes. Personally, I would not be a fan of the brush. It is a very full brush, and when I pull the wand out the bristles on the brush get pushed to the side and lay flat against the wand. Which I mean isn't a really big problem, I will normally just push the wand back into the tube and pull out the wand again, and the bristles will become normal again, but it is kind of annoying. I prefer it when the bristles are rubber and spikey like in the Benefit They're Real! Mascara. I might purchase in the future, but I think that there are better mascaras out there for me, but definitely give this a try you might like it.

Don't get all the hype, or maybe I'm just using it incorrectly. First of all, I think I got the wrong shade, so that was a mistake on my part. I got the shade 842 which is Medium Beige. I should have gotten a shade that had a yellow undertone and was fit for my light skin, this was more pink, like most Covergirl foundations. The foundation states that it acts as a primer, concealer, and foundation all in one. I find that I still need a primer to make th foundation not look cakey, and I still need concealer on blemishes, but the foundation gets most of the redness. I might repurchase this, but in the correct shade and review this again.

Picked up a two-pack at Costco after I ran out of my previous moisturizer. I have heard good things about the Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion, my friend recommended this to me when I was on the hunt for a new moisturizer. When I first used it I was confused as to whether or not I could use this on my face, it doesn't say anywhere that it is a facial moisturizer, on the back it says "This everyday, lightweight moisturizer is ideal for all over body hydration." I use it on my face anyway. The thing I don't like about this lotion is that it is very thick and takes a while to absorb into the skin. Personally, I like it when serums and moisturizers to absorb into the skin very quickly and leave little to no residue left on my skin. This lotion stays tacky, even hours after application. However, I suppose some people would like that aspect of this moisturizer. But this is the first lotion that I am able to use on my face and body, which is good considering that I have two 20 ounce bottles that is going to take me a while to use up. I use one pump for my face and neck, and around 4 pumps for my feet and legs, and two pumps for my arms. Probably won't repurchase, unless I run out and need to find a drugstore moisturizer in a pinch.

Picked up this serum after I ran out of my Bliss The Youth As We Know It Serum. I got the 1 ounce size, it lasted me about a month; I used 2-3 pumps for all over my face and neck. It absorbs into the skin fairly easily and leaves a glowy finish. I noticed visibly better skin within a week of usage and have recommended it to several friends. I might repurchase if I find a larger size. Overall good product.

Picked this up on a whim as a gift for my mom, but she ended up not using it so I decided to try it. It is a great serum, in my opinion. It has a light fragrance that smells citrusy, which I wasn't so fond of at first, but then eventually got used to it. The serum absorbs into the skin effortlessly and leaves no residue. It left my face looking very dewy and glowy. This lasted me about a month and a half, I had the 1 ounce version, and used about 2-3 pumps for my entire face and neck. I will most likely be repurchasing if I am able to find it in stores again. Overall, great product.

I absolutely love Vaseline, there are so many uses. I usually just slather some on my lips before bed and wake up with beautiful, soft lips. Recently I discovered some new uses for Vaseline, such as using it as a makeup remover and for smoothing fine lines under your eyes. I will definitely be using Vaseline on my feet from now on, it gives me amazing results especially with the cold weather where I live. You just put some on your feet, throw on some nice socks, and wake up with soft feet! I have two tubs of Vaseline, original and the cocoa butter. I personally like the cocoa butter formula better since it has a nice scent, but if you don't want any kind of scented product, go for the original, it works just as well. Vaseline and petroleum jelly in general have a plethora of uses, and it is something almost everybody should have in their home. Whether it's for a moisturizer for dry skin or for making lip gloss or lip balm or just for healing minor cuts and burns, it's a great thing to have.

I have used this mascara just about everyday for a long time. I usually buy the small, travel sized version of the mascara, just because it's easier to stash into my purse when I do travel. The brush has these thin bristles that help coat each and every lash. "They're Real!" has never failed me before and leaves me with long, defined lashes that are also soft and look natural. It makes for a great mascara by itself or layering it over another mascara. Sometimes when I do smile or laugh a lot, a little bit will smudge under my eye, but it's no big deal. This mascara lasts a very long time, all the way through school and even more.
