    Mixed Bag

    The lip mask in a jar from Mario Badescu works wonders, highly recommended! A lipstick (Rose inc) with a natural color (Besotted) even though it looked relatively dark. Good texture, a slight smell upon application that quickly disappeared. Lipgloss Rebecca Stella (berry rizz) good texture that doesn’t stick too much. The color looks dark but can be used neutrally without other makeup. Make up store blush stick (warm petal) is not a color for me (which I knew before buying). I have one in another color that I’ve tried before. Haven’t quite mastered the technique since I’m used to liquid or pressed powder. My friend likes it though, so she will get this one. Mascara, heat protection for hair, and Face formula I haven’t had time to test yet as I have ongoing products, will update the rating when I’ve tried these. I’ve tried the eye masks before and they have been nice. Body oil from Truly was a surprise… the oil itself has a faint pleasant scent upon application. It’s a heavy glass bottle you pour from. It absorbs quickly into the skin and gave good results on the arms. However, the skin looks drier on the leg I applied it to yesterday compared to the leg I didn’t use the oil on. The surprise was that it contains glitter, a lot of glitter. Does it stick to the skin you apply it on? No, it sticks to your palm. Would I buy this oil again? No. A disappointment because it sounds good in theory for my legs (niacinamide, peptides, saffron, argan oil, and hyaluronic acid). There was also nail foil and a lamp included in the package. I haven’t tried these as I need to find out how to remove them (if they need to be cured with UV under the lamp) before applying. All in all, I soon needed new heat protection, mascara, eye masks, and was tempted by the lip mask, and for the price of the box it was worth it with some new products that impressed beyond that. But if the colors aren’t for you regarding nails, blush, and lips, maybe consider another box.

      Layers harden under the lamp, I usually do many more times than it says is required (for safety reasons, but that's just how I am). After a week, when your nails have grown, you get an edge at the top without layers and then it's easy to just pull them off from there.

    Smells mostly of alcohol

    The main scent notes in all bottles are alcohol, followed by synthetic fragrance with an afternote of alcohol. Not recommended!

    Classic

    Does its job, my old one gave up after 25 years of faithful service, hope I get just as long usage out of this one.

    Gives nice shine

    Trying this type of product for the first time and I am positively surprised! Helps with those little flyaway baby hairs that like to stick up around the hairline without making the hair look dirty. Gives shine but has a dry consistency. Faint scent upon application that then disappears, which is a plus so it doesn't interfere with headaches or perfume. Hair feels fresh and soft after use. I have classic Scandinavian "fine" hair down to my waist and thick hair, so I don't know how it affects other hair types.

    Good weight and detangles long hair with ease

    I've tested the brush for a week. I have fine thin hair but a lot of it, so overall thick hair down to my waist. This brush detangles everything and is pleasant to use. However, I do have to brush the upper and lower parts of my hair separately for it to get through. Easy to clean from loose hair strands after use. Recommended!

    Film left after cleansing but moisturizing

    I have sensitive skin with rosacea and this hasn't given me any consequences after about two weeks of use. In the evenings, I go straight to the rest of my routine, but in the mornings I use micellar water with niacinamide to remove the film that several describe. My skin feels pleasant but I would have liked to see the film not remain, was afraid it would cause bumpy breakouts but it hasn't. The cleanser is economical, I use about a cm for the whole face. It has small grains in it so I wouldn't use it on the eyes. I would have preferred to give it 3.5/5. I don't know if I will buy it again yet. I want to give it a month first.

    Feels good on the skin

    I have tested this for a week. If I use it alone, my skin can sometimes feel a bit dry before I moisturize with cream. However, this one is an unbeatable second after The Inkey List's oat cleansing, which leaves a certain film on the skin. I have sensitive and combination/dry skin with rosacea and have not reacted to the product. No particular scent to speak of either. I haven't tested many other comparable products before, but my previous cleanser was discontinued, so I was eager to try new products. Would buy again. It's a large bottle and I use the product with a cotton pad, so it looks like it will last a long time...

    Love it, detangles all knots without tears

    Bought it for my goddaughter who is extremely hair sensitive. She used to refuse to brush her hair, but after trying this, everything goes like a breeze. I've had my own for several years and they are fantastic! Can be used on both wet and dry hair. Detangles knots in both straight and curly hair. Start with the outer part of the hair strands (about from the middle and out towards the ends), hold against the root and where you start brushing to overcome any sensitivity or risk of hair breaking unnecessarily. Work through the hair several times until it glides through without getting stuck.

    Perfect brown and pink shade!

    These stay on all day where most other pencils tend to melt away or shift during the day on my skin. Ballerina is perfect for opening up the eyes by applying both in the waterline and inward towards the nose. The brown gives a softer look which is a fresh alternative for a more natural makeup. I highly recommend these. They are very soft in consistency so they need a visit to the fridge before sharpening. You can smudge a little right at application.

    Wonderful has held up for several years!

    Rosacea got better after I started using this. I got a few pimples at first, but they went away after about a week or two. I use it both day and night. Works well under foundation too. A bit thicker consistency but I use a little less of the cream during the day. There are serum and toner from the same line and they are all wonderful. I have sensitive skin with dryness in the T-zone, otherwise normal skin on my face. I highly recommend this brand and the individual product!
