Soo AE Purifying Black Charcoal Mask Review

You can purchase this mask at Walmart for $2.50.

This mask uses binchotan charcoal to help purify and detox. It claims to brighten and improve skins overall tone while providing instant moisture and hydration to skin in 15 minuets. It is perfect for refreshing tired skin.

This is a black mask that was very saturated and drippy. I had a lot of trouble getting the mask apart as it was really slimy and really stuck together. It had a very light scent. My face was very hydrated right after use and clear through the next two days after I used it.

Would I purchase? Yes

Hey Honey Bésame Mucho Review

You can purchase this lip balm at Ulta for $14.

This lip balm is designed to protect dry, chapped lips using shea butter, propolis, squalene and triglycerides. It should leave you lips feeling soft and hydrated.

This lip balm is very creamy with no scent. It hydrated my lips for about an hour at a time and it did not help me at all with my chapped lips.

Would I purchase? No

Raw Sugar Coconut and Mango Body Wash Review

You can purchase this body wash for $6.99 at Target. 

This is a body wash that is gentle, ethical, sustainable and cruelty- free all while smelling great. It uses mango to brighten complexion and coconut to soothe tired skin. 

This body wash had a really nice tropical scent and my skin was left lightly scented for the entire day. My skin felt very clean and hydrated. 

Would I purchase? Yes

Soo AE Nature Green Tea Face Mask Review

You can purchase this face mask at Walmart for $1.29. 

This mask claims to replenish moisture, ease dryness, reduce and improve UV damage and improve skin texture in only 15 minuets. It is gentle and safe for all skin types. 

This mask has a very light fresh scent and it did not have a lot of essence on it so it was not drippy at all. This left my skin extremely hydrated but it did leave a very greasy residue. 

Would I purchase? Maybe

This product is a spray designed to give hair instant volume and texture on dry hair. It claims to not weight down hair or have a sticky feel. It is free of parabens, sulfates and phthalates. Don't forget to shake before using!

L'oral Pure Clay Masks Review

There are three options for this mask and they are at Target. 

The first one I will talk about is the Detox and Brightening mask. It is meant to address Dull and Tired skin. This mask claims to be a creamy, non-drying formula that leaves skin clean and rebalanced. Your skin should immediately look brighter with a healthy glow. This mask is $9.99. 

This mask smelled slightly fruity. It was a very creamy, black clay that did everything it claimed. 

The second one is the Purify and Mattify mask. It is meant to address Oily and Shiny Skin. This mask is $12.99. This mask claims to provide a soothing and refreshing spa- like experience while penetrating into pores to remove impurities. Your skin should be left clarified, mattified and refreshed, less shiny, and excess oil reduced. Your skin should immediately appear purified and healthier. 

This mask smelled powdery. It was a very creamy, green clay mask that did everything it claimed. 

The final one is the Exfoliate and Refine Pores mask. It is made to address Rough and Clogged Skin. 

This mask is $9.99. This formula uses clays and volcanic rock to exfoliate dead skin cells and smooth surface imperfections. It should leave your skin polished with pores minimized and a sooth complexion. 

This mask smells very fresh. It is a pink clay mask that gently exfoliates. It also did everything it claimed. 

None of these masks dried out my skin like some clay masks will do. I was really impressed with all 3 of these masks. 

Would I purchase? Yes, all three of them

Clinique Pep-Start Hydroblur Moisturizer Review

You can purchase this moisturizer at Sephora for $29.50. 

This is a lightweight moisturizer that claims to provide matte moisturization while instantly blaring imperfections and prepping for makeup. 

This moisturizer had no scent and was a very light moisturizer. It absorbed quickly but I did not notice any blurring of imperfections. 

Would I purchase? Probably not

Caudalie Beauty Elixir Review

You can purchase the full size of this product at Sephora for $49.00.

This is a toning mist that claims to set makeup, provide radiance and tighten pores. It also claims to be a good solution for dullness, uneven texture, pores and dryness. 

This mist has a slight minty scent and was tingly on my skin. It absorbed quickly and set my makeup all day and left my face feeling very silky. 

Would I purchase? Yes

Masque Bar Hydrating Peel Off Mask Review

You can purchase this mask at Target for $3.49. 

This mask claims to peel away impurities and dead skin cells while leaving your skin moisturized, smooth and silky. 

This is a clear gel type mask with a cucumber scent. It was very sticky! This was one of my most painful peel off masks I have ever used. I was in tears! My face felt very soft but it was very red for hours after using it. 

Would I purchase? No, it was just to painful to remove

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Review

You can purchase the full size of this moisturizer at Sephora for $44 and they have 15 shades. 

This moisturizer is the perfect blend of skin care and makeup along with sunscreen. It claims to hydrate skin, soften fine line and add a sheer hint of color. 

I really liked this tinted moisturizer. The formula was perfect and it provided beautiful coverage and left my face very hydrated without looking greasy. It did not have a sunscreen scent either. 

Would I purchase? Yes

Ouai Treatment Masque Review

You can purchase this at Sephora for $32.00.

This mask is good for all hair types. It claims to be formulated to leave strands soft and smooth after just one treatment. 

This hair mask has a very strong floral scent. It is a very thin consistency but it did leave my hair looking soft and shiny and it was very manageable. 

Would I purchase? Maybe
