More products I’ve used up + reviews!  Let’s go!

1st up!

Revlon Lip Butter in Berry Smoothie:

LOVE.  This is a semi-sheer, light berry color that’s perfect for every day wear.  And that’s exactly what I did.  I wore it every single day for the longest time, so it quickly became the first and only lipstick I’ve ever finished.  It’s also a 9 out of 10 for being a moisturizing lipstick.  I knocked off one star just because it can form those um lip skin clusters (???)…there’s no good way to describe that.

Anastasia Brow Wiz Pencil in Dark Brown:

Also LOVE.  I used to use other eyebrow pencils as well as various brow gels, but nothing seemed to be as easy to use and as precise as the Anastasia Brow Wiz pencil.  The pencil tip is very thin and precise, and the spoolie on the opposite end helps to blend the pencil line into your natural brow.

Magic BB Cream (Eastern BB Cream):

I inherited this BB cream from my sister’s makeup collection, since the shade was too light for her skin tone.  It worked well enough for me, and was mostly used for “lazy day makeup,” aka days where I’m too sleepy to wake up early enough to do anything other than fill in my eyebrows and put a dot of BB cream on each cheek.  It’s a light consistency, so I couldn’t feel it on my skin, and it didn’t cause any reaction on my skin. Unfortunately, since I didn’t purchase this myself, I can’t provide any information on where to purchase it =(

Next up!

Dove Dry Shampoo:

AKA the only dry shampoo I use.  I’ve mentioned this product in previous posts.  I’ve tried various other dry shampoos from Tresemme, Battiste, etc., and none seemed to make my hair feel any cleaner, but all succeeded in leaving white residues on my hair.  Dove dry shampoo does the trick and doesn’t leave any white residues until you’re at the very very very end of the can.

Simple Micellar Face Wipes:

Grew to love this one.  I’ve been using the Simple Micellar Water that comes in a bottle, with cotton rounds to wipe my makeup off before going in with actual face wash.  My boyfriend saw these at CVS and thought I might like them.  I originally used them as an alternative to the bottle, but now that it’s gone and I’ve gone back to the bottle, I think I may actually prefer the wipes.  The wipes are more saturated with micellar water compared to squirting it from a bottle onto a cotton round, which seems to dry up more quickly.  I don’t wear a lot of makeup, but it’s nice to be able to wipe down my entire face anyway before the product dries up.

CVS Women’s Vitamins:

Just vitamins.  Chewy, fruity, delectable vitamins.
