I don't get too excited over skincare products, especially serums, because I don't use them and I just can't get in to them. I really dislike the way serums and oils feel. I'm already oily in my t-zone and I know that a good skincare regimen, including moisturizer, helps keep your skin from producing excess oil, but I just can't stick with serums long enough to see any improvement. So if you haven't guessed, I passed this little guy along.
I also passed on this cream since it's the day version of the serum. The note card in the Glossybox didn't explain what this "multi-correcting" cream actually corrects. I also don't use too many products with SPF, just not something I'm concerned about at the moment. The Lancome website states that this product provides moisture all day, improves the appearance of wrinkles and skin texture, anti-aging, and protects against the sun. While I think taking preventative measures in your skin care routine is important, I didn't think that this product would suit me right now.
I have come to really love getting hair care samples in my Glossybox. I think it's because they are such a great size for a sample. I'm not just getting one or two uses out of these samples. I can get about 5-10 uses out of these! Well, maybe that's because I don't use the same shampoo & conditioner every time I shower. I like to rotate so that my hair and scalp don't get used to the same product. I have heard of the Pureology brand before so I felt like this was going to be a pretty promising product, although I haven't personally tried any of their products. The Hydrate Sheer formula is a lightweight, hydrating formula that is silicone-free so it doesn't weigh hair down. If you're anything like me, I love for hair products to keep my hair smelling good for days. So what I love about this product is that it has a signature "aromatherapy blend of ylang ylang, bergamot & patchouli scents." Mmmmh, it is so so heavenly!! They are also 100% vegan, preserve colored hair, and is good for sensitive scalps.
I think this is this first eyeshadow I've received that I've been excited about. I remember getting the Catrice eyeshadow pallete in February, but they weren't really pigmented and were a bit chalky so I had passed them along. This eyeshadow pan is HUGE for an eyeshadow! The color is definitely one that I can use with any sort of eye look, it is somewhat of a cool, gray-brown. Perfect for the crease. It is a triple milled eyeshadow so it is very soft and smooth. Their website says you can use it dry or wet. I have yet to try this out yet, but I'm sure it will perform beautifully.
I'm not a huge fan of liquid illuminators or blush, it just isn't a product type that I enjoy using. So I didn't get too excited about this product at first. I haven't yet tested it out in my actual makeup routine, but I think I will like using this in the winter months to add some luminosity to my foundation. It's the perfect consistency to add into your foundation or BB cream or even just your moisturizer to add a little glow to your complexion. The one thing about this product that I find to be a little odd is that it only comes in this one "universal" shade. I have a pretty neutral skin tone, but I have more golden tones than pink I would say. So I'm not sure how this will really look on my skin, but I think it is a fairly sheer formula already so once I mix it in with my foundation I think it might be ok. I have a swatch blended out to the right of the cream on my hand above, so you can tell that it is not a strong, pink toned, illuminator.
My oldest sister is a hair dresser and I've seen this brand in salons that she's worked at before. This color is so opaque in even one coat! I don't know if you can tell in the photo, but I actually just applied this polish right on top of the color I currently had on (a nudey pink with a glitter top coat). You can kind of see on my thumb nail what color my nails were already painted. They have an awesome range of colors that are DBP-, Toluene-, and Formaldehyde-Free.
