Pixi Beauty Lash Booster Mascara in "Blackest Black"

My sister is the one who is big on the latest mascaras. Me? The differences I tend to notice are "this one is more clumpy" or "this one didn't do much." Even so, I like trying out new mascaras and can't wait to see how this one does!

MicaBeauty Eyeshadow in Bronze

As gorgeous as these loose shadows are, I've realized I tend not to use them too often. Swatches to come soon, maybe it'll end up blowing me away! You never know until you try. 

Chelia Dazzling Dark Brown brow pencil

I've tried brown pencils in the past and have found them to be a bit too harsh for my brows. I just prefer to use powders, as I feel they look more natural on me. My brows are already so dark that I don't need a product to make them stand out more (unless that's what I'm going for).

Michael Todd Jojoba Charcoal Gentle Exfoliating Facial Scrub

As you guys know, I love trying new scrubs and face washes, so I was pretty excited to try this one out. Upon receiving the bag, I popped some right on my face. Unfortunately, I found this scrub was much too lightweight! It didn't work for me, but may work better for someone with sensitive skin. It was a VERY lightweight scrub.

noya Lip Balm in Vanilla

I fell in LOVE with this lip balm! It is moisturizing and leaves my lips feeling soft without a sticky, heavy feeling. The scent is wonderful as well; it is more of an airy vanilla than an in-your-face vanilla cake scent.
