1     BITE     Amuse Bouche Lipstick
I will rarely ever dock a lipstick review for color, I still struggle with getting colors right, even when I get to sample live & in-person. So, my lipstick reviews are generally on formula, consistency, etc. This lipstick was fine, I didn't get an overwhelming "Lipstick Taste" that a lot are notorious for. Went on nicely, even, and is not tacky. Color is a bit dark for summer months, so I may actually reach for this more when it cools off outside.

2     LANCOME     Super Enhancing Mascara Base
I had just gotten my lash extensions done, so I wasn't wearing mascara for a bit, but I did use this base to sort of "set" my lashes for the day. I know, I know... I'm not supposed to, but it got them to stay in place better. Otherwise, I like my normal mascara fine enough that I don't feel the need to have a "Base" layer for it...?

3     SOL DE JANEIRO     Coco Cabana Body Cream
I was immediately turned off by the over powering coconut smell. There is such a current Coconut Oil trend and I just hate its infiltrating everything with scents! I eventually found a use for this rather large sample size lotion (used it to mix with a trial of Self Tanner oil). Otherwise, purely based on the scent, I would never buy this.

4     TARTE     Deep Dive Cleansing Gel
I generally trust most anything from the TARTE brand, and this was no different. It's a liquid-gel consistency with the coconut oil scent. I did find myself feeling the need to moisturize after using this, so its a bit more "drying" than my Belif brand. This is not a bad product by any means, I'm just loyal to my current line.

5     MOROCCAN OIL     Protect & Prevent Spray
I didn't jump on this product right away, I generally do a test spritz on the back of my hand to get familiar with the texture and weight of hair products. This was definitely an oil, so, because of my super fine hair, I got a little gun-shy with it. HOLY SHIT. I'm so glad I eventually gave it a shot. I killed the whole bottle way too fast. These oil based leave-ins make your hair super silky and soft!! I went to Sephora to pick some of this up but I saw that there was an Alterna version (which I opted for instead)... but it almost broke me of my Alterna Caviar hair care regiment. It does have an intoxicating scent, where the Alterna version is pretty much UnScented..

6     VIKTOR & ROLF     Magic Salty Flower Parfum
I love, love, love getting perfumes in my boxes. I love sampling different scents. This one struck me as fresh and lively. Perfect for summer. I have worn it a few times, going through my rotation of perfumes, I've got quite the collection going...
