pros and cons: aqua bomb jelly cleanser (belif)

When it comes to makeup, skin care, and beauty products, my loved ones spoil me from time to time. They might pass along something that was included in a subscription box or spoil me with a product that they saw while out and about. That is what happened recently when a loved one gifted me the Aqua Bomb Jelly Cleanser from Belif. I have tried the popular moisturizer from this brand, but not the cleanser, so it was a nice treat to put it to the test. Keep reading for all of the pros and cons.

pros and cons: microdelivery exfoliating facial wash (philosophy)

My skin has definitely been struggling lately. With the weather being so inconsistent, it seems that my skin is confused. Though it is normally on the dry side...it seems especially parched these days.

pros and cons: kylie cosmetics face and body liquid highlighter

A few months back, I wrote about a raffle basket that I won with all sorts of beauty products inside. It included some Philosophy items, a Calvin Klein perfume, and a handful of Kylie Cosmetics products. One of those Kylie Cosmetics products was the Face and Body Liquid Highlighter in the shade Snow Princess. This must have been a leftover holiday item from last year, because I immediately recognized the cute little deer print on the packaging that was on the O'Deer Lip Kit in my collection. Since the holiday season is currently underway once more, it seemed only right to review this festive highlight. 

pros and cons: rimmel wonder extension mascara

Ready for a little more drugstore? Today, it is time to take a look at a mascara from Rimmel. I'll be honest...this brand makes me ultra nostalgic. That is because it is one of the first makeup brands that I ever used. There was this eyeshadow that looked like the Union Jack and I was obsessed. (Take a trip down memory lane with me by checking out a very old blog post here.) I used that little eyeshadow set consistently, along with plenty of other Rimmel products. In fact, my go-to foundation for many years was from Rimmel, before it was discontinued. This is one makeup brand that has been part of my life for a very long time. Now? It is time to find out how the Wonder Extension Mascara from Rimmel performs.
