Nexxus Scalp Inergy Gentle Exfoliating
Scalp Scrub and Clean & Pure Invigorating Detox Scalp Scrub
Both of these scalp scrubs exfoliate pretty good and leave my hair feeling refreshed and volumized. “Scalp Inergy” is more gentle and fine, it also leaves a little cooling minty sensation on skin after use, while “Clean & Pure” looks and feels more like a body sugar scrub, which is great for extra deep cleansing and exfoliation!
Completely Bare Don’t Grow There Body Moisturizer and Hair Inhibitor - I was skeptical about this product, and I probably wouldn’t buy it myself, but since I received this 50ml bottle from Ulta as a gift with purchase I decided to give it a try. It leaves skin feeling moisturized for sure, and what I love the most - it doesn’t leave any sticky feeling. You can apply it right after hair removal and it won’t even irritate skin unlike some other lotions. It clams to diminish hair length, regrows and density. And, surprisingly, it works! I noticed a difference a week after I started applying it. My skin stays smoother about 3 times longer now compare to before! I’m impressed! It does slows down hair regrows, and amount of hair visibly reduced.
I’ve already finished this one and reordered bigger size bottle from Amazon* It definitely worth trying!

Kiehl’s Retinol Skin-Renewing Daily Micro-Dose Serum - I’ve been using this serum in my overnight skincare routine. After finishing this mini size tube, I can say that I did noticed skin texture improvement. It didn’t feel too drying, but each time I applied it, skin felt slightly burning for a few minutes. Also I noticed that during the time I was using this serum I got a few pimples, that healed only after I switched to a different product. So to me this retinol serum is not best compare to everything else I’ve tried. It might work better for other people, but I recommend trying a sample before purchasing a full size.
Perricone MD High Potency Retinol Recovery Overnight Moisturizer - this moisturizer worked wonderfully on my skin! I was using it as an overnight treatment. My skin type is oily, and I love how this moisturizer kept my skin feeling hydrated without making it greasy or sticky. It definitely improved my skin texture over time, I noticed a significant difference in tone and firmness. The smell is also heavenly! To me it smell like daisy! I purely enjoyed using this little jar, and I’m looking forward to getting a full size of it! Find it in Ulta Beauty*

Swatches of Dior Forever and Forever Skin Glow Foundations
This is one of my all time favorite foundations! I’ve tried a mini Forever deluxe size first and immediately purchased the full size. I have oily skin type. This foundation glides onto skin smoothly and with very little effort - it’s very blendable and it almost applies itself! It provides full coverage without being too heavy. It also covers up pores pretty good. The smell is subtle and it disappears quickly after applying. The finish is more satin than matte, and usually I set it with a light powder. But even with powder skin looks luminous in a healthy way. Love it! Shade 1N is a good match for me, but all 3 shades on photos got yellow undertone even though they are called “neutral”.
I also have a deluxe sample of Forever Skin Glow Foundation here. And I liked it just as much! It definitely got more glow to it but I can still wear it! Both versions are great and worth trying if you like glowy finish in foundations😉

Rose Inc Skin Enhance Luminous Tinted Serum in the shade 40 - this is a moisturizing serum with a very light tint. I chose shade 40 and it’s perfect for me when I’m not tan. Initially I didn’t like this serum at all. I tried to apply it as a regular foundation using a brush. The result was awful! It emphasized pores and dry spots I didn’t even know I had. I thought this serum is just not for my skin and didn’t try anything else to make it work since it was just a sample.
After a while I suddenly decided to give it another try. It was hot outside and I wanted to wear something light on my face that would still somewhat even out skin tone. This time I squeezed a small amount of serum onto my palm, rubbed it thoroughly between my hands to get it fully mixed, and then applied it on my face. And it was a game-changer! I was surprised how perfectly it applied this way and how beautiful it made my skin look! Skin looked luminous, pores were covered, skin tone got evened out. With a little powder on top, it lasted the whole day. I was pleasantly surprised and happy that I found a perfect way to apply it! Now it’s one of my favorites! I already finished this mini and purchased the full size!
Clarins Multi-Active Jour glow boosting line-smoothing day cream - great face cream for dry skin! It leaves skin visibly plumped and hydrated. It might work for oily skin too during winter, but overall it feels a bit heavy and sticky to me. But those who got normal to dry skin types will sure like it! Also it got a very noticeable herbal scent, so, as always, I recommend trying a sample before purchasing a full size😉
Winky Lux Fruity pH Lip Gloss in the shade Raspberry - at first, I got a mini sample of this gloss, loved it so much that I had to purchase the full size! It’s non-sticky and it feels more like lip oil. Shade Raspberry is light nude pink, best part - it’s pH reacting but it doesn’t turn into that regular unflattering hot pink color no matter how much I apply! It makes lips look super juicy, feels comfortable to wear all day and lasts a long time. Highly recommend this gloss!

L’Oréal Voluminous Panorama Mascara - this is a great drugstore mascara that gives visible volume and definition. But what I like the most is how long it lasts! I even had to double check that I didn’t get the waterproof version. It’s smudge-proof and it doesn’t flake at all. I always choose this mascara when I want my eye makeup to look perfect all day. I’m impressed and I will definitely buy it again!

Lancôme Hypnose Drama Extreme Volume Mascara
I love Lancôme mascaras and this new one is no doubt one of the best! I was skeptical about the brush shape at first, but it turned out to work so good! It adds a noticeable volume, length and definition, and I couldn’t stop using it ever since I got it! I’m so glad I got this mini to try, and I’m definitely buying a full size!
