    Huge fan of everything they come out with. I use the foundation, mascara, and lip gloss daily and they are my holy grail everyday items! Even as someone with combination/oily skin, the dewy finish of the foundation doesn't break me out. The mascara is the best non-toxic mascara I've ever used, and the lip gloss is as good as it gets. Their marketing and branding is done so well, fun and colorful while still feeling feminine. They are priced appropriately too, above drugstore but still accessible.

    Obsessed with my carry-on suitcase. It's beautiful, soo smooth, and very functional with the extra compression pad and laundry pouch. Only downside is that my beige-colored suitcase gets easily scratched. They provide a magic eraser but it's not something I always have on hand.

    By far the best functional drink I've had! I am obsessed with the raspberry rose flavor. All the flavors are tasty, fun, and different from other drinks I can find on the market.

    Really wanted to love the brand as I love the aesthetic of their products and marketing, as well as their mission. I have two of the foaming hand soaps and have to say the product was a letdown. The soap itself was fine - weaker than most but got the job done. The bottle was the main problem. There were issues with the pumps in both of the bottles I had within a couple of months of using them, which made it impossible to get any foam soap out.

    Amazing value for the quality of products. I love that they don't claim to be "dupes" and instead create scents inspired by well-known fragrances. Even though the packaging is not particularly artistic, it is still well-designed, particularly the magnetic lid and the weighted bottle. Both the purchasing and return processes are easy to navigate as well. Some of my fragrances from them don't last that long, which I understand as getting what I'm paying for.

    Feedback

    Having a way to test fragrances before buying would be nice and cut down on the need to return opened bottles! Would also like to see better packaging when buying multiple bottles of perfume. Each of my perfumes were boxed separately and it felt like a lot of cardboard boxes at the end. Lastly, it would be nice to have more selections of fragrances inspired by on-trend, niche brands.

    I'm obsessed with this hot garlic. As someone who always has lao gan ma in my pantry, I'm glad Mama Teav's has a completely different flavor profile and doesn't overlap with any other chili/hot oils I have in my pantry. It's not particularly salty but very fragrant and I LOVE the garlic crisps in it. I also love the oil to crisp ratio - there's definitely enough oil so you won't be digging in dry crisps at the end. The original is quite spicy for me as a spicy eater so I generally use it sparingly!

    I love the label and marketing of the product as well!!

    I feel like I've been let down by so many new drink brands - but Ghia's certainly not one of them. Their flavors are nuanced and interesting, and the vintage-y branding really goes well with the vibe they're trying to curate. I love that they elevate an at-home dinner meal, and are a great drink to make for entertaining. Products are on the pricey side, but since you're supposed to dilute the cans, I suppose the price is okay.

    Really enjoyed the lime and salt flavor, but for some reason it irritated my throat the second time I had it. Not sure if it was because of the ginger.

    My favorite and most worn shoes EVER. I feel like the aesthetic of Vejas oomphs up my casual outfits and makes me look classier. Based on reviews I was worried I'd have issues with breaking the shoes in but I never had any issues - they were comfy from the get go. Will definitely be repurchasing if I need to but my first pair have been great. I've basically worn them everyday for the past two years and they're still in great shape.

    For a drink that uses sugar alternatives, I think Swoon's lemonade drinks are undoubtedly better compared with other canned drinks that are zero-sugar. You probably will still get that artificial sweetener aftertaste but it's not as pronounced as some other brands. I probably still prefer sparkling waters but if I'm craving something sweet and don't want the calories, this is a decent option.

    Feedback

    Fruity flavors definitely lend themselves well to the sweetener blend for Swoon! Would love to see more canned drink flavors.

    Ugh I want to love this brand because of the amazing things they’re doing with getting Asian flavors out there, but I am just not a fan of their sparkling waters. The aftertaste is just a bit too sour for me. Out of all the flavors, I’d say lychee is the least sour.

    Would love to see more flavors and less of a sour aftertaste!
