I purchased this through a Thingdrop discount, and I'm really glad that I did. For context, I've never used a fabric shaver in fear that it would ruin my clothes, but I was tired of the pilling that would occur on all my sweaters and sweatshirts, so I was intrigued when I saw this. The product itself is amazing, so many of my clothes now look brand new as does my boyfriend's. He actually was more fascinated by the gadget than I was. So far, I have caused no tears or holes in any of my clothes, but I have been very careful in testing on a small patch first & not pushing too hard with the shaver. You can see from the picture attached how effective it is. The only thing I would dock points for is the magnetic cap is not as strong as I would hope, so I would be cautious of carrying it in a checked bag if I'm traveling with it. The power button almost feels loose. When I turn the shaver sometimes while using it, it makes a click-click noise because the button is not fully secure it its position, but it doesn't affect the turning on/off of the machine, it's just a design issue. Really, really thrilled with this shaver, and I love that it comes with extra parts just in case the metal gets dull and a brush to clean the finer parts. I get a very noticeable joy seeing how my lint I've shaved off.

Got this as one of Thingtesting's "Try things" BOGO deals. I got the Lemon Dill flavor because I love all things tangy. There is a slight coconutty aftertaste that I don't mind, but this dip is so good that I eat it by the spoonful. It's light and savory, and I find myself craving some at the end of every meal.

Purchased through a Thingtesting offer

I've been wanting to try this brand for awhile and was really happy that it came up as a Thingdrop. I had to wait awhile to review it until I was able to use it on a trip. The current capacity of these bottles won't be able to replace all the bottles you usually carry with you on a trip. For example, I went on a ten-day trip and carried travel-sized bottles of body lotion and shampoo. The things I did use my Cadence containers were for things like pills, jewelry, curl cream, and thick moisturizer (which I don't use everyday, only when my face is particularly dry). The containers being magnetic makes it really easy to make sure you have everything packed, which is not the case if I have 6 individual bottles of lotion and serums. I will say it's harder to put more liquid-y items (like hair oil) in these.

Feedback

This is definitely a small luxury item, and you do have to think very carefully about what you will use them for when you're first making you labels and packing for a trip, but they have made my travels significantly easier.

Folio's selections are extremely curated, so they might not have the specific book you're looking for, but what they do have are all the books that the people around you are reading. The books I ordered were delivered in 3 business days (NYC -> SF) and the shipment included a handwritten note (a touch I always love) and some of the cutest stickers I've seen, the books are stamped Folio on top which are a nice reminder of where I got them. Great alternative to Amazon.

Feedback

I tried the "Get My Rec!" tool a couple times, but sometimes, I didn't get any results, which was surprising because it's an extremely short survey.

Gisou

I bought a travel size (0.7 fl. oz.) at the Sephora checkout line a couple weeks back and have used it for close to 3 weeks now. I do like the elegant packaging and the fact that it's accessible to buy in-store.

Feedback

Prior to this, I was using the OGX Argan Oil. I end up using more product with Gisou because I don't find it that moisturizing. After about 12-15 hours, the ends of my hair feel very dry again. For reference, I have mostly healthy hair, but I got a perm about a year ago, and my ends need a little help. Do not think I will repurchase.

Stance Socks

I bought my three-pack of crew socks at Nordstrom Rack a couple days ago on a whim. They are very thick and high-quality. They stay up quite nicely, too.

Feedback

Sizing ran large for my small feet, which is the case with most shoe/sock brands. Price point is high for socks... I come from a country where good quality socks are pretty cheap (Korea), so if it weren't on sale, I don't think I would have ever gotten them

Fenty Beauty

I love what Rihanna is trying to do and agree that Fenty Beauty revolutionized what the shade range for major beauty brands. I bought the concealer and the highlight from Fenty, and I, unfortunately, don't reach for either very often.

Feedback

The quality of the highlighter is great, but the shine is over-the-top for my personal taste. The concealer, however, is not long-lasting for me.

I used this bag almost every day when I packed lunch for the office. Super sturdy and in fun colors, but realistically, never got much used out of the smaller sizes. Came across someone recently who uses them to carry letters and documents, which is a use case I hadn't thought of before.

Feedback

They are difficult to clean.

I've bought the masks, bags, and the wine bags. I get compliments from my friends with the Thank You bag very frequently. I love that their products just make sense. I recently purchased their Wine Baggu, which is genius because I'm CONSTANTLY struggling to find bags to carry my wine. Even though the fabric looks thin, the bags are surprisingly strong. A must for every time I leave the house. I never leave without it. It's saved me from buying so many bags.

Milk Makeup

I bought a couple Milk products from Sephora, the Cooling Water, the Lip + Cheek, and most recently, the KUSH Fiber Brow Gel.

Feedback

I have yet to crack open the brow gel, but I never gravitate towards the Cooling Water and the Lip + Cheek product. The Cooling Water because it lives in my fridge as opposed to all my other beauty products, and the Lip +. Cheek because I feel like I have to blend it with a brush to get the look I want. That's not ideal when it's a stick product.
