Yves Rocher Midnight Berries Bath & Shower Gel (50 ml) - I honestly felt like it smelled like berry tea in the shower which was a bit odd. It did lather well but you have to make sure to use enough or else there will not be enough suds. This was just alright but I wouldn’t purchase a larger version of it.
Yves Rocher Ultra-Rich Shower in Magical Shea (30 ml) - I got this as part of a trio and I really did not like this product. It came out like a thick cream and it was difficult to use a loofah with this. I ended up just using my hands as it worked better. The scent was alright but I just don’t like when shower products come out like lotion while wet.
Yves Rocher Magical Shea Repair Body Lotion (30 ml) - This was really thick and in my opinion, it was more like a cream than a lotion. It smelled good and it did a great job at hydrating my skin. Out of the 3 products I tried, this was the only one I liked.
Hair
Love Beauty & Planet Argan Oil & Lavender Smooth & Serene Conditioner (400 ml) - I love the scent of lavender in general and was excited to try out this product! This claims to have calming definition for frizzy hair which I definitely have. It did control my frizz a little bit but I still had to use other products also. I love that the bottle is made from 100% recycled plastic and they do not test on animals. It is vegan and safe to use on coloured hair. They use ethically sourced argan oil and lavender. There is organic coconut oil and they use plant based detanglers. There are no: silicones, dyes or parabens. This is an amazing brand overall to support and their products are affordable!
Samples/Gifted - Face
Erno Laszlo Multi-Task Eye Serum Mask (1 pair) - This was gifted to me by a friend and this is the first time that I have ever tried from this brand. It felt nice on my under eye area and I liked the hydrogel patches. This is targeted to those with under eye dark circles, puffiness, fine lines and wrinkles. There is: algae extract, vitamin B3 and allantoin in the formula.
Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Gold Eye Masks (1 pair) - I want to start off by saying that I loved the gold colour! They claim to brighten, hydrate and reduce the appearance of dark circles. I left mine on for 10 minutes and my eyes felt refreshed. These are some of the best eye patches I’ve used and they exceed my expectations! I also really liked that there is hyaluronic acid in the formula as well as lavender oil.
Innisfree My Real Squeeze Mask EX in Manuka Honey (20 ml) - I was gifted this by a friend and I enjoyed using it. The mask is very delicate and lightweight. I had to be careful when opening it up. It didn’t smell like honey to me and this is a moisturizing mask.
Lapcos Honey Nourishing Sheet Mask (27 ml) - This fit my small face very well but I will say that this one was very messy. I found it harder than usual to open up this sheet mask without ripping it. I managed not to rip it but I would recommend using this in a washroom. There is honey extract in the formula that nourishes the skin and helps with elasticity. I did find it to be hydrating on the skin. This is cruelty-free, paraben free and sulfate free.
Skinician Purifying Cleansing Gel (2 ml) - This was sent to me in the mail as a sample and I thought that it was just alright. It is formulated to help deeply cleanse, promote sebum control and help refine pores. I’d have to try this out for a longer period of time to judge the product fairly.
Skinician Facial Exfoliator (2 ml) - This was nice to use on the skin and it was gentle. This claims to be formulated to exfoliate dull and dry skin. It leaves behind a brighter complexion and soft, smooth skin. I would agree with those claims as my skin was very soft after using it.
Hands/Body
Boba Co Honeydew Tea Bar Soap - This is a Canadian company that specializes in luxury bubble tea merchandise. I was gifted the Honeydew Tea Bar by a friend. This smells incredible just like Honeydew Bubble Tea! Green is also my favourite colour which is an added bonus. I definitely enjoyed using this soap by them!
Aveeno Restorative Skin Therapy Repairing Cream (28 g) - I received this as a sample in the mail in exchange for my honest opinion and I truly did enjoy using this cream. It is good for sensitive skin and it did not irritate my psoriasis. It helps to restore the skin’s moisture barrier and helps to repair dry skin. It contains: prebiotic oat, aloe and provitamin B5. It is free of: fragrance, parabens, steroids and phthalates. I used it as a hand cream and I would definitely purchase a full size.
Sol De Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream (25 ml) - I got this as part of my Sephora birthday gift and I can finally see what the hype is about. It smells incredible like a vacation and it made my skin so soft! It is fast absorbing and it even claims to help tighten the skin. I’m a fan and I really like the packaging too!
Marc Jacobs Perfect Eau De Parfum (1.2 ml) - The key notes are: daffodil, cashmeran and almond milk. This is a floral fragrance that I got as a sample in the mail. This was nice to use but I don’t see myself purchasing a larger size of this.
Feet
Esfolio Tea Tree Moisture Foot Mask (1 pair) - This was gifted to me by a friend and this was one of the least messy foot masks I’ve used. It comes with a pair of booties infused with hydrating liquid. It is weird to walk around with them so I suggest putting them on and sitting down. I left mine on for 20 minutes and my feet felt soft after taking the booties off. The formula includes: extracts of tea tree, lavender, peppermint, chamomile and rosemary.
