Rimmel Gentle Eye Makeup Remover
I have never been able to remove waterproof eye makeup without using cold creme and scrubbing a bit which usually leaves my eyes red and sensitive. This was a totally different. I put a bit on a cotton pad and wiped my eye. It didn't remove all of the makeup in one swipe but I didn't have to scrub it to remove it. My face wasn't red and irritated after. It had no scent and didn't burn my eyes.
Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner
I tried the Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof eyeliner for the first time on New Years Eve. My smokey eye had faded some as the night went on but my eyeliner stayed put. It didn't bleed down and give me dark(er) circles like some other brands do. No one wants raccoon eye at the end of the night. It went on easily. Glided on my eyelid with no skipping or sticking. It had the look of liquid eyeliner but the ease of a pencil. Since it is waterproof I was concerned about it being difficult to remove. Thankfully I also received the Rimmel Gentle Eye Makeup Remover in my Vox Box (see above).
NYC New York Color Expert Last Lip Color - Sugar Plum
I wasn't sure about a new lip color. I usually use tinted glosses or lip stain. Lipsticks tend to not stay put...not that glosses fair much better but I can tell when a gloss needs to be reapplied. I was surprised by this lip color. Not only was the color a great match for my skin tone but it also stayed put. I've worn it on various occasions and on all it stayed put better than others. I noticed in pictures that even though you could tell it faded some it still looked great. It went on smoothly and kept my lips moisturized.
Celestial Seasonings Candy Cane Lane Decaf Green Tea
It's different. Not bad different but just different. I liked it. I felt like I was drinking a candy cane. I made mine with a splash of milk and a bit a sugar. It has quite a bit of flavor. You can taste various herbal undertones that make me feel relaxed. The after taste is minty, it is not strong but nice. I am not sure I would drink it regularly but it is very comforting on a cold night, especially if you aren't feeling 100%. I think I would keep some on hand just for that comfort when there is a chill in the air.
Boots No7 Protect & Perfect ADVANCED
I liked this product but I can't review it properly. The literature says that you see improvements in a few weeks. The sample I received barely gave me three applications and that was being stingy with it. I will say it made my skin extremely soft. I imagine after regular use my skin would be brighter, more full which in turn would reduce wrinkles/fine lines. I wasn't able to see those results because of the limited use but I envision it would eventually start working. But the fact that it went on lightly and made my skin silky was a big plus for me.
McCormick Gourmet All Natural Thyme
You should know first Thyme can be a strong flavor so use with care. I love the taste of Thyme and have cooked with it for years. I've used it to make a few dishes so far and they all came out great. The Thyme is very fresh and flavorful. It worked well with Chicken, Pork Chops and Fish. I used it to boost flavor in a pasta dish with a cream cheese sauce. It is also good when combined with Rosemary. But again both can have a strong flavor so watch how much you add to your dishes. All in all it is a great product to have in the kitchen.
So we ate these so fast I didn't get to take a pic of the packaging. Also, they were such a good snack I had to hide them from my husband so he wouldn't eat them all. The were soft and had just enough strawberry flavor to make them yummy. They didn't have that plastic flavor that similar candies sometimes have. These didn't have that flavor. They tasted fresh. I will say they were a little chewy but not jaw cramping chewy. The pieces did tend to stick in your teeth. But all in all they were a nice sweet snack.
EcoTools Sleek + Shine
I have medium length fine hair (a lot of it) that has a slight wave to it. Using this brush definitely cut down the amount of time I spent drying my hair. My hair is fine but there is quite a bit of it. I also noticed the amount of frizz was significantly reduced by using this brush. Instead of wild hair that needed a straightener, my hair was soft and shiny with very little frizz. It could still use a straightener to smooth it but it wasn't necessary. Not using the straightener not only helps save my hair from the heat but my hair appeared to have more volume. I would recommend this product to my friends and those with straight to wavy hair for a smooth shiny finish.
