Today I've got reviews of more samples that I have been trying! I will be reviewing a moisturizer, a hair perfecting glosser, a face mask, and a lip balm. Let's get started!!
Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream
I already described the benefits of this moisturizer in my January Birchbox post that you can read here. I just want to talk about how much I absolutely loved this moisturizer! It is so light on the skin, but so insanely nourishing and moisturizing at the same time. I love the smell; I can't explain it but it kind of smells like a plant-a really nice smelling plant! My skin felt so unbelievably soft after using this, and in the morning it was just as soft. Love love LOVE this! So tempted to buy a full jar!!
MY GRADE: A++
AVAILABLE AT: Sephora, or here
PRICE: $42 for 1.7 oz jar
Liquid Shine Shine Shock Perfecting Glosser
I received this in my Allure Holiday Beauty Box and it's full-size-I just decided to include it in a samples post. I wasn't super sure how I felt about this product at first because it didn't really seem to be doing anything. Then once I stopped using it, I could really tell a difference! Based on their website, this product:
- Locks in shine, seals split ends and adds extreme gleam for truly dazzling results.
- Delivers exquisite shine while illuminating multi-dimensional tones.
- Super-light formula instantly smooths down flyaways and glosses away imperfections.
- Illuminates the multi-dimensional brown tones that makes brown hair so unique
MY GRADE: A
AVAILABLE AT: Drugstores, Target, Wal-Mart
PRICE: Around $7
Que Bella Deep Cleansing Aloe Vera Mask
I have seen these at my local Target for awhile now, and when I noticed that they were only $2/each, I bought all six varieties that they had (oops). First of all, I think the packaging is so cute; every different variety is a different color and the girl is always wearing the mask and how it should appear to look. I chose to try this particular mask first, because I have been trying a lot of products out on my skin so I wanted to purge all the build-up in my pores away! Here's what it looked like on my face:
Real cute I know |
Gross I know |
MY GRADE: B- (just for this particular mask)
AVAILABLE AT: I've only ever seen them in my local Target store on Lapeer Rd in Flint
PRICE: Around $2
Neutrogena Revitalizing Lip Balm in Healthy Blush
This is another product that I received in my Allure Holiday Beauty Box-full size! I've never really tried any Neutrogena lip products so I was excited to see how this worked! I forgot to get a picture of this on my lips, but wow I love it!! It's just as moisturizing as the Fresh Sugar Lip Treatments that I've raved about, and for half the price!! I really love the color too-gives you a nice natural glow. Here's what Neutrogena is saying about it:
Revitalizing Lip Balm SPF 20 helps make lips softer, rosier and healthier-looking, even after you take it off! This sheer tinted balm with exclusive ion2complex™ instantly moisturizes lips, leaving them looking fuller and more defined. In just one week, it helps improve lips' texture and restores the look of rosiness. SPF 20 helps protect lips and keeps them looking healthy.
I'll have to see how my lips look after one week of using it, but just based on a few tries, I will definitely buy more shades!!
MY GRADE: A
AVAILABLE AT: Drugstores, Target
PRICE: Around $9
6 SHADES
That about sums it up! I'm running out of time to do a full Justice section, so I will leave you with an inspiring quote that I love:
"Whatever you are, be a good one."- Abraham Lincoln
See you soon!
