Mango Mandarin Hand cream
This was actually a very pleasant surprise. No part of this felt greasy, instead it melted into my hands very quickly. From years of farming, my hands certainly get abused. I mean have you ever seen hands after someone picks tomatoes? Or how dry your hands get after handling produce all day? Dirt will not leave the cracks that are left in the wake. It gives me great pleasure to report that this product left my hands very satisfied.
As far as the scent, I really cannot pick up on citrus notes at all. It smells a little strange to me, but I really cannot put my finger on it. Oh well, it's going in my purse regardless. I kind of love it.
Ecru New York
The dud of the bag. I really hate hair products, because I hate doing my hair. And for real? BB cream infiltrating the hair? Where will it end BB Toothpaste?
Either way it's a generous sized sample and it may make dry ends feel better. This is not exactly I product I would ever seek out myself, but it's chill. Everyone has dry hair days. This is sized nice enough for my purse.
The box was very smooshed. Can't blame anyone, as my bag was very packed.
Starlooks lip gloss
Hot dang this thing is tiny!! This was almost as disappointing as the hair product, because lip gloss is not really something I am interested right now. Rather than grumbling, I took some silver lining from it. The color is beautiful, and on it's almost a perfect nude.
It's incredibly glossy and has a rather odd smell. The bag of odd smells i see. It's not unpleasant, but it is a little interesting. It's more opaque than NYX Butter Gloss, and if I'm not mistaken similar in the color I recieved Creme Brulee.
Where this really made a near dupe-level match was Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie lip gloss in Rebel. Recently I acquired Rebel for my mom and I was surprised at how close they were. The texture is different, but the color is dead on.
This has become a great little product. It's a bit sticky and it sits on your lips very creamy, and lasts quite some time. It's not moisturizing, but the feeling is a bit more welcome than a lipstick as it's getting colder outside. Thanks for this one.
Skyn Iceland Wipes
These are kind of great. Good introductory package. The problem with wipes are that I do not know if some really perform better than others? This removes all face makeup like a breeze, but it does get stuck in regards to mascara. For the past few months I have been using Benefit's They're Real and that stuff really stays on. Cannot fault the wipes.
Bonus Item!
Bodyography electric lip slide in Cupid's Beau
This thing is frigging awesome! It has a very sweet smell to it, which pairs perfectly with the sweet pink color. I thinks it's a perfectly flattering color and it's very smooth feeling.
This applies very similar to the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream, only its far less sticky. It never sets, so you will forever have a cream on your lips.
Definitley worth the redemption of 500 points for sure.
