AmorePacific Treatment Enzyme Peel

A few months ago, I received a deluxe sample (0.2 oz) of this in an order from Sephora. I put it aside for a while, afraid to use it because of the word peel. I am not into peels, or anything harsh on the skin. When I realized that it uses natural papaya enzymes to exfoliate, I was a little more willing to give it a try. I finally got the courage to use it one day, and I ended up using too much water and it didn't work at all. The next day I tried again, knowing not to use more than a few drops of water, and voila! It foamed up and felt just like a gentle face wash. When I felt my skin after it felt so smooth and soft, no dry patches or dead skin cells left. This is a gentle exfoliant, but I wouldn't use it too frequently as it can irritate the skin. I use it a few times a week and have had no issues.

Bite Beauty Whipped Cherry Lip Scrub

I love that Bite Beauty uses natural and safe ingredients in their products, because like their motto says - we end up ingesting most of what we put on our lips. I had been looking for a lip scrub to replace the DIY honey sugar scrub that I was using. I wanted to give this one a try since it has nice ingredients, and something about the simple packaging lured me in. 

Anastasia She Wears It Well Eye shadow Palette

This palette comes with 9 shadows- 3 matte and 6 shimmer. They are pigmented and smooth, although the color Almond needed a primer underneath to show up on my skin. I didn't notice any fall out, and even without primer these last all day. 

Sephora Favorites Draw The Line

A set of liquid and pencil liners available from the Sephora Favorites line at Sephora for $30 (USD).

Dr. Dennis Gross CC Cream

This CC cream is the newest thing from Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare. It is a daily anti-aging treatment that is supposed to provide flawless coverage, hydration and SPF protection. It goes on flawlessly and is very lightweight, it feels like you're applying a moisturizer. It definitely feels hydrating, and it lasted through the humid Texas heat while out and about and walking the dogs! The coverage is very light but buildable to medium without becoming cakey. It doesn't cover everything, but add a little concealer and you're good to go. 

Nivea Lip Butter

I've heard many good things about Nivea's Lip Butters, so when I spotted them at Target I decided to try it out. I mostly use the Maybelline Baby Lips and more recently the Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment and I love them both. I found nothing spectacular about this product, and the slight moisturization it initially provides wears off pretty quickly. I don't particularly like that it is in a tin, I find that very unsanitary when I am out and about and need to apply more. I guess I am just spoiled from the long lasting moisture provided by the Baby Lips and Sugar Lip Treatment, because this product was a miss for me. For the price it is alright, but then again the Baby Lips are at the same price point and I prefer them greatly to the Nivea Lip Butter. 

Caudalie Grape Water

I have recently been on the hunt for a moisturizing toner that I can just spray on and go. For a long time I was debating on whether or not I should pick up the Evian mist, which is just pure water. Water can make your skin feel like it is moisturized, but that feeling fades when the water dries. Nice for a pick me up, but not really the purpose I needed it for. I had pretty much given up until recently I was in Sephora and came across the Caudalie section. I remembered seeing the Grape Water Mist a few times before and never really being that interested. I decided to grab it on a whim, not really sold on the claims but willing to try it out.
