Perfect for every day!

I feel like these lip crayons are so underrated! They are easy to apply and touch up, they feel smooth and moisturizing, and they fade evenly and leave a bit of tint. I'd say they're somewhere between a lipstick and a balm in texture. I love that I don't feel too 'made up' when I wear them or self conscious about maintaining it throughout the day. Walk This Way is the perfect everyday shard for me and Transmission is a warmer red that doesn't pull too pink.

I love the scent, which is a nice change from a lot of other mists on the market. Instead of being only floral, the palo santo, yarrow, and myrtle add a more herbal, earthy element that is really refreshing and natural.

Super impressed!

My reactive skin was in an angry phase for about two weeks and while it was starting to wane, none of the products I had were truly helping it get back to feeling and looking it's best-- it was dry and patchy by every afternoon and just didn't feel right. Enter: Sweet Serenity Rescue Balm. I've tried several products before with the 'rescue' claim, but I have never seen such a drastic overnight difference as with this product. I applied before bed (after cleansing) and was shocked the next morning about how calm and even my skin appeared. The effect lasted all day, too-- no dryness or inflammation popping back up by the afternoon! As a bonus, I love the scent-- soft, herbal, and soothing.

Lovely facial oil!

I was super surprised by this product-- I wasn't expecting much since I already have some other great face oils and was a *little* skeptical since it's a blend of oils instead of 100% rosehip, but my skin absolutely loves it! It doesn't feel greasy at all and moisturizes beautifully. I have very reactive skin and if I feel my face starting to get a little irritated, I swap this out for my nighttime moisturizer and my face is calm and glowing by morning. There's a rose scent when you apply it but it's very soothing and fades fairly quickly.

Great product, great price!

This is an awesome makeup sponge that creates a beautiful finish effortlessly! I like the flat bottom-- since I'm not doing any detailed contouring I like that it helps me cover a lot of area quickly for my day-to-day 15 minute face, (but I still have the option of using the curved side or the point for small area). What's even better is that since it's only $6, I won't be tempted to keep using it longer than I should to save a little cash.

Best flavor in water!

This is my favorite Vital Proteins flavor so far! It reminds me of a classic tropical fruit punch. I like that this flavor is good on its own, just in water (I recommend over ice!) so I can add it into my day with no effort.

A gentle nudge to sleep

I like to mix Dream Dust with some warm milk and just a dab of raw honey and blend it with a hand-held frother. It has a pleasant slightly-earthy flavor and the honey definitely helps round it out a bit. It helps me relax, quiet my mind, and get me ready to drift off to sleep, helped by both the aromatic flavors and the ritual of mindfully sipping the warm drink. There can be a few 'bits' that accumulate towards the bottom of the cup instead of blending in, but it doesn't bother me. This won't knock you out all night, but helps your sleep get off to a good start.

Best brow product for lighter hair!

I like a pretty natural-looking brow but, unfortunately for me and many blondes/redheads, my natural brows are pretty much transparent so I need to give them a little color. This product does a wonderful job tinting and thickening your brow hair rather than coloring the skin beneath, creating a much more natural and less 'drawn on' look. The formula is neither too matte nor too shiny. Hourglass also offers the best color selection I've come across for lighter color hair-- too often I've had to choose between an unnatural yellow/grey 'blonde' option or a too-intense 'auburn' but Warm Blonde is perfect for me! Application is pretty easy, but watch out for a little glob of product that tends to accumulate at the tip of the brush!

Touchable Waves

This is the perfect blend of the texturizing spray and the shine spray. After taking my hair out of a bun, it helps hold the waves as well as smooth down any flyaways. Your hair stays soft and touchable-- no crunchy or sticky texture and you can still run your hands through it. It's also great to refresh hair on day two!

I think this is the creamiest moisturizer I've ever used! The experience of smoothing it on my skin feels luxurious and wonderful. It soaks in well, leaving my skin feeling fully hydrated and helping my makeup apply beautifully. I have felt the need to exfoliate less since using this moisturizer. I will definitely repurchase!
