West Elm
Experience
This review is specifically for West Elm's faux plants and planters. I live in NY in a very dry (ahem, enormous radiator) apartment that only has partial bright light throughout the day which makes it difficult to host a variety of plants, which is a huge bummer. After killing a few formerly live plants, I finally made the decision to look into faux plants from several other vendors--with unfortunately very cheap-looking results. I have since purchased several faux plants and ceramic planters from West Elm and they've each arrived beautifully and add a warm, much-needed green touch to my space.
Feedback
These typically arrive in grow pots (preferably), and those sizes are missing from several product pages, which makes it difficult to purchase an appropriately sized planter at the same time. When I live chatted with customer service, they did not seem to care and noted that the dimensions that WERE listed on the pdp were correct, which wasn't especially helpful as the missing sizes in question were of course not listed.
Aesop
Experience
I have both the exfoliating hand soap and lotion which I keep in my kitchen--I wash my hands a million times a day and they never dry out. These are also refillable (ie you can buy replacements for the bottle if you already own the pump), ship quickly and look great on the counter. Whenever I have guests, they're always jazzed to see and use them.
Soft Services
Experience
Soft Services' products and customer service are truly a delight. I purchased the spray toner, bar soap, and gel lotion over the summer, which I quickly lost due to an apartment fire. I was only able to use these 2-3 times and wrote the brand to tell them I loved their products and mission, and I would soon repurchase. They were so generous and sent me totally new and complimentary replacements for the items I had lost. They're also incredibly transparent (ie. if there are any product defects with any of their items on both social and email). Re the products--I noticed a huge difference in the texture of my legs where I used all 3 items this summer. Great for gently exfoliating, hydrating, and a breeze to apply.
D.S. & Durga
Experience
I love everything about this brand and its customer service. I received a delicious bottle of Debaser with a defective nozzle as a gift and they replaced it in-store - no questions asked. I've since visited their Williamsburg location several times with various friends who have also become loyal fans. Their scents are totally unique and their product offerings include a beautiful scent experience (sampler packs, air fresheners, candles, soap & lotion -- travel and standard size, and of course perfume). I am a total DS & Durga fan for life.
Feedback
Would love a wider range of scents for the hand soap and lotion!
Experiment
Experience
I have truly combo skin (oily t-zone and chin, dry everywhere else) and this Super Saturated serum absolutely changed my skin's texture and moisture barrier. My routine includes a milky hydrating toner, this serum, another serum, and moisturizer. My skin totally drinks up the Super Saturated serum (a little goes a LONG way), priming my skin for the rest of my routine. Between these 4 items I'm set for the day and my combo skin has noticeably balanced out quite a bit. I also love that the product is refillable, subscribable, and sustainable. I cannot express how much I love this brand.
Leaf Shave
Experience
I bought the (very chic) dermaplane as part of a Thingdrop and let me tell you - sharpest blade in the game. Great, heavy hand feel, and really requires 0 pressure to effectively remove peach fuzz. I'll even use it dry/right out of the shower and it does not leave any sort of razor burn.
The Pizza Cupcake
Experience
Let me start off by saying I love pizza, in all forms. This Margherita pizza cup however left me wanting more--the first batch I made according to the instructions on the box ended up a bit squishy with the inside still chilled. The second time, I increased the time and temperature and it ended up having a nice crunch to it.
Feedback
Not enough sauce, cheese pull, or flavor for me (I ended up adding my own sauce to the middle of each piece, which helped greatly).
OLAPLEX
Experience
I've been bleaching/coloring/processing my thin, long, wavy hair for years and Olplex is the only reason why my hair keeps looking healthy and air dries smooth. The No3 mask is perfect for once a week--I keep this on overnight and then shower and condition the next day. I would not recommend using No3 more than once or twice a week as overkill can actually dry your hair out. I also use the No5 conditioner, occasionally mixed with No8 mask when my hair is especially dry, wash, and then use No6 as a leave-in product prior to the curl cream/rest of my routine. None of these products weigh my hair down.
Feedback
I wash my hair every 3 days and have an oily scalp naturally, so I do avoid the No7 hair oil unless I'm intentionally styling the ends for a different look.
Beast Health
Experience
I purchased this blender 2 weeks ago and I've used it every single day since. Breakfast is ofc the most important meal of the day, yet I never have an appetite in the morning, nor am I a kitchen appliance gal, but this has turned my routine around. I'll wake up and the first thing I'll do is make a smoothie and hop back in bed. If you buy the blender as pictured, it comes with everything pictured (1000ml container), and a matching carry/to go lid with handle. I loved it so much that I immediately ordered the other 2 size canisters. I use one canister for days when I'm blending frozen fruit, another for days with fresh fruit, and the smallest for overnight oats. They're constantly in rotation and I can't speak highly enough about its convenience and sleek look on my small kitchen counter.
Feedback
I wish the blending power was slightly more aggressive--I usually have to pop it on and blend once, remove and give it a good shake, and pop it on a second time until it's fully juiced. To be fair I am using several hard ingredients, but that is not an uncommon use case.
Davines
Experience
A hair stylist recommended Davines Nounou shampoo to me years ago and I'm still using it. My hair is processed and I will say while this doesn't leave me feeling clean or moisturized enough, when combined with a tiny drop of an anti-dandruff shampoo it really revives my hair. Additionally, I add a little drop of this to my purple shampoo and it noticeably leaves my hair way less dry than if I were to use the purple shampoo on its own.
Feedback
Great when paired with other products. Not a standout when used alone.
