Supergoop!
Experience
I can't go a day without GlowScreen, and that's not just because it has SPF in it! The SPF is great and I love protecting my skin with this product, but I love it even more because of the glow it brings to my face. I've had people stop me in stores on several occasions to tell me how glowing my skin is - and it's this. It wears well under make up too!
Feedback
I think the bronze tinted GlowScreen could be even bronz-ier, but that's an issue I'll deal with in the summertime.
Glossier
Experience
This brand is one of my top favorites! For people who want more glam or coverage, this is not the brand for you, but the minimalism of Glossier works in my lifestyle. Items I have used: *Lash Slick - my favorite mascara. Feels weightless on my sensitive eyes but still gives length *Brow Flick - perfectly fills in my brows with sharp wispy hair lines *Boy Brow - only brow definer I will ever use, I always come back to this *Cloud Paint - have tried several shades and love the versatility and blend-ability *Generation G - not a bad matte lipstick, I just don't love matte on myself, somewhat drying so maybe this is like the one thing I wouldn't repurchase *Ultralip - the perfect gloss-lipstick hybrid with semi-sheer finish... I love her *Invisible Shield - amazing sunscreen for under make up! Primer-esque, and smells like classic summer sunscreen *Glossier You - my go-to perfume... its light but kinda juicy and just feels right *Glossier Candles - You and Orange Neroli scent, they put out the best smell even without lighting The brand is just so fun to follow and the packages always come with a little fun sample and stickers. Love the marketing!
Hero Cosmetics
Experience
All of the Hero products I have used have been great and re-purchase worthy! I use The Original pimple patches on any breakout overnight or while WFH and then the Rescue Balm the next morning/later to repair the breakout area. Great combination that works for my skin type. I also love the Rescue Balm +Red Correct during the summer months when I don't wear a lot of make up and just need to even out my skin tone. Its a Dr. Jart Cicapair dupe in my opinion (not as thick of a cream either).
Summer Fridays
Experience
Love the Jet Lag Mask as a little treat for myself. I tend to do masks on Sunday nights and this is great because I can put it on and go to bed. My skin feels very moisturized in the morning, like a reset before the long week. I have the sample size tube but will definitely repurchase the large size. Since I only use it about once a week, the small tube has even lasted several months. Has a very light and clean scent, great consistency, perfect for winter. Also great packaging.
Feedback
Price isn't the best, but like I said, I use it weekly as a ~treat~ so I do not have a huge problem with the cost.
Verb Products
Experience
I LOVE the Ghost product line! I use the shampoo, conditioner, and oil. I have fine, color treated hair. The products do not weigh down my hair or quickly fade my color. They have a great scent and makes my hair feel fresh and weightless. I have tried the Ghost Hair Mask and it worked well but was not so impressed to purchase again.
Feedback
No feedback, I love the Verb Ghost Line!

Love wearing these bands on my ankles during walks! I have the bands in the teal color. Super easy to put on and take off. Just simple, which is perfect for adding something to your workout.
Beis
Experience
I was really excited to try out the Convertible Weekender Bag in black since I travel frequently for 3-5 day trips. It seemed like it would be the perfect size. Once I got the bag, I realized how heavy it was, even without anything packed in it. I even removed the shoe compartment at the bottom to see if it would be lighter, but it was still very heavy for not that large of a bag. I packed it for a weekend trip and ended up having to unpack it and use my old bag because the Beis bag was too heavy, and did not hold everything I needed. The way the top of the Weekender bag opens is also misleading. While open, you can pack more before reaching the zipper, but since it folds down to close, that removes a lot of packing space that could be utilized. I ended up not using the bag at all and returned it.
Feedback
Very heavy; zipper to close takes away from available packing space.
Billie
Experience
I bought the Billie Razor Starter Kit and Billie Whipped Shave Cream at Walmart while travelling and loved it more than my regular razor that I had left at home. The shave cream smells so good and it feels very moisturizing! And the Razor Starter kit came with a razor, two blades, and a holder (that I have not used yet). Such a great shave with the razor! Also just love the aesthetic of the branding in my shower.
Feedback
I have dropped the razor several times and the blade head has popped off, sometime difficult to get back into the razor handle. Otherwise, works well!
Kosas
Experience
I've been using the Revealer Concealer in shade 2.5 for almost a year now and it is my favorite concealer! I use it for light make up days and more coverage days. I really love that its a clean product and since I use it mostly under my eyes, I do not have to worry about any ingredients or scents irritating my eyes. Its creamy and has great, buildable coverage. I use a setting powder and there is still minimal creasing but it is not very noticeable. I also started using the Revealer Skin-Improving Foundation with SPF25 in shade 180 for about six months. Its medium coverage which is my preferred type of coverage. I wear an SPF regularly so the added SPF in this is not that important to me. There is creasing at my smile lines, so I try to set that area very well. Both products have lasted longer than I expected them to for how frequently I use them!
Feedback
I have golden undertones but the shades for golden undertones are too yellow for my skin, so I actually use the shades that have cool undertones. If someone has naturally cool undertones, they might find all of the shades to be too yellow for their skin. There is also some creasing for both the foundation and concealer.
Cadence
Experience
I had been eyeing these canisters for a while and was so excited to finally try! I travel frequently for relatively quick trips and needed some quick reusable/refillable containers to throw in a bag and not worry if they would spill, leak, or explode. I ordered the terracotta color pack of six with some of the popular tile labels. They came in about 10 days and have been wonderful! The color is great. They are lightweight and hold a reasonable amount of liquids/creams for about one week. I have not yet tested how many vitamins would fit inside, but I will probably stick to a larger pill case. They are magnetic to each other, the lid is magnetic to the side of the canister when not screwed on, and the label tile is magnetic to the top. The magnet is not strong enough to hold them together freely in my bag, but I still put them in my favorite toiletry bag. Overall, I think they are great, fun, and simply for what my travel lifestyle is like!
Feedback
I would have liked for the canisters to be slightly larger to hold enough product for closer to two weeks. There is also an added cost to personalize tile labels, and that price feels a little steep.
