Mad Hippie Eye Cream
Audreiana from True Beauty By Nature has spoken highly of this eye cream, so I was excited to find it and pick up a sample in a local health food store. Unfortunately, I had a bad reaction to it. I tried it at night and the next morning I woke up with super sore eyes. It did make a noticeable difference on my dark circles after just one use, which is pretty amazing, but along with the soreness, I also had blurry vision and my eyes were extra sensitive to sunlight for the rest of the day. Not something I'm rushing to try again!
Delizioso Skincare Creamstick Eyeshadow in Bronze Sunlight
Delizioso Skincare Creamstick Eyeshadow in Bronze Sunlight
I got this in the November Natural Beauty Box, though it's taken me a while to give it a thorough trying out. It starts off as a nice product - pretty color, goes on creamy - but my problem is that when I try to blend it out, all the color just wipes off.
Desert Essence Fragrance Free Conditioner
I consistently hear really good things about Desert Essence's haircare, so when iherb was sold out of my regular Acure Argan + Argan Stem Cell conditioner, I decided to give this a try. It has a nice, faintly sweet scent and the texture is very thick and creamy. My hair feels extra silky when wet, but the conditioner leaves it looking stringy when it dries. Keep in mind that I have fussy, curly hair, so conditioners are graded on a pretty steep curve here.
Honeybee Gardens WaterColors Nail Polish
If you're a regular reader, you probably know that Honeybee Gardens is one of my favorite brands for affordable makeup, but unfortunately these have not been as big of a hit as the rest of the line. I don't have any issues with the actual polishes, but rather their removal. Water based polishes are healthier than solvent based, but you do need to remove them at least weekly, or else they can become seriously bonded to your nails. I only paint my toes and I'll admit that I'm generally not super regular about removing/changing my polish. I thought I would be fine, since water based polish is supposed to be easy enough to remove, but I really have to struggle to get these off, and that isn't something I'm happy to do on a weekly basis. That said, I haven't tried Honeybee Gardens' own remover, so maybe that's my problem? If you're someone who does change your polish more regularly, I think these would work really well - they're pretty colors that go on smoothly and they don't smell, which is pretty fantastic.
Have you tried any of these products? I'd love to know if you agree/disagree!
