Cards Against Humanity
Experience
Fun game! Definitely better for larger groups and friends with similar humor. With the right group of people it can be hilarious but it doesn't work for everyone.
Feedback
I've bought this for friends before and it has always been fun to play.
Knix
Experience
Great fit and fun colors! I do however wish the absorbent material went higher up in the front and back of their bikini as it just doesn't have enough coverage for me. Despite this, I do wear the leakproof bikini just around the start and end of my period just in case and it works quite well. I also own the Catalyst Sports Bra in black and quite like it! It does ride up a bit and cause some spill over on the sides but I think that's just because I have a weird bra size (32H) that is hard to find a fit for. I think the sports bra would work much better for those with a medium cup size.
Feedback
Great product, the coverage of the leakproof bikini just isn't for me. The Catalyst Sports Bra, however, is a great purchase and passes the jump test.
Tower 28 Beauty
Experience
Tower 28 Beauty is hands down my favorite makeup brand ever. I have been using their products for around two years now and have never been let down. I have recommended their new Make Waves mascara to anyone who will listen and I use at least one of their products every day. Here are the products I own and my thoughts on each. - Sunny Days tinted sunscreen in Melrose: goes on like a skin tint but is surprisingly buildable, I have never experienced any irritation, great skin tone range, and such an innovative product - Beach Please blush in Magic Hour and Office Hour: I use these every day and they add a lovely pop of color, I have a habit of overdoing blush so these blend out so well, I have the old Magic Hour shade but the new one seems great as well - Shine On lip jelly in Magic, Pistachio, Sesame, and Cashew: I adore these! the formula is glossy without being sticky and they last a surprisingly long time, my favorite lip shade is Sesame and it looks amazing with the different skin tones of my friends who have tried it on as well - Bronzino bronzer in Sun Coast: I use this product more as a highlighter as I think I got a shade too light for it to work as a bronzer, this formula is very sparkle-heavy so be careful if you prefer a matte look - One Liner multi-liner in Work of Art: Great as a lip liner though I hope they come out with some more shades in the future, I also use it as eyeliner under my eyes for a pop of color - Make Waves mascara: this is the absolute best mascara I have ever tried, it lengthens and adds volume without clumping, people have actually thought that I was wearing false lashes, lasts all day and through sleeping in it yet comes off with a couple swipes of makeup remover, I can't say enough about how great this formula is - SOS Daily Rescue facial spray mini: since using it I have noticed a slight decrease in redness and breakouts - Sunny Days water bottle: I think I love Tower 28 a little too much, great design and lovely shade of purple
Feedback
I absolutely love Tower 28! They are my all-time favorite makeup brand and I can't wait to see what they come out with next. If you are considering trying one of their products you will not regret it. Seriously, I feel like they should be paying me to be a spokesperson with how many friends I have recommended their products to.
cocokind
Experience
I absolutely love Cocokind! I have tried their aha jelly cleanser, probiotic acne serum (not the postbiotic one yet), vitamin c serum, ceramide barrier serum, texture smoothing cream, and their silk spf. I use their vitamin c serum, ceramide barrier serum, and their silk spf every day and have had noticeable improvements to my skin with the first two. I especially love the ceramide barrier serum as I had very unbalanced skin with some dry regions before using this product and now have an even skin type afterwards. The reason I took a star off though is because not all of their products worked for me. I don't expect every product to be perfect but it does seem to be a bit of a personal hit or miss when trying out new products. Their aha jelly cleanser did not work with my skin type (experienced irritation and redness) and left a bit of a residue. The texture smoothing cream may have worked but I did not use it long enough to see as I was not a fan of the strong celery smell. Lastly, the probiotic acne serum actually made me break out even more--especially on my forehead--so I stopped using it. I do know they recently changed its formula so it may work better now. Despite this, I do really love how Cocokind brings conscious skincare to people at a fairly affordable price and I will continue to cherish their ceramide barrier serum and vitamin c serum.

I have had some minor issues with a few of their products but have found a few amazing ones. This brand can be a hit or a miss with some people but the products that do work for me work really well.
OLIPOP
Experience
I have tried the Orange Squeeze, Classic Root Beer, Strawberry Vanilla, and Vintage Cola flavors and quite enjoyed all of them! Olipop is a great alternative to other sodas and I like that it's not too sweet. However, I did not notice any differences in digestion after trying these and they all had a bit of an aftertaste. The aftertaste was not strong enough to take away from overall flavor but it is something to be aware of if it is something that often bothers you.
Feedback
I have only tried half of their flavors but so far I like them! This product does have an aftertaste that may bother some people.
Maude
Experience
I bought the vibe in green around a year ago and it is absolutely worth the price. Besides the sleek design and smooth feel, the three vibration settings are at the perfect levels. The battery charge lasts for quite a while and it charges quickly. This is my favorite device that I own and I hope to try some of Maude's other products too.
Feedback
The vibe is very much worth it.
GOODLES
Experience
I was simply enamored by the colorful packaging and promise of high protein without sacrificing taste so I ended up buying one of each flavor to try. I was actually surprised at how good these tasted and even the texture of the vegan flavor is on point. I will say that some flavors held up better than others (I preferred 'twist my parm' over 'cheddy mac') but none of them had an aftertaste that I sometimes run into with other protein pasta brands. One thing I will note is that it is not as good reheated the next day but this is a small complaint.
Feedback
Great taste and texture for a protein pasta. I am looking forward to eating these again!
Oatly
Experience
I switched to oat milk around four years ago and have not found a better brand of oatmilk! Their milk is creamy and tastes good without being watery or basically liquid oatmeal as I have run into with other brands. I have also used their barista blend with a professional milk steamer and it foams nicely (not as well as cow milk but much better than some other oat milks or almond milk).
Feedback
Oatly is the milk that I use everyday so I definitely recommend it! The best oat milk I have found that is also not outrageously expensive.
Glossier
Experience
I currently have the following products from Glossier and have been pleased with all of them. - Lash Slick mascara in black: a very subtle look, think "your eyelashes but more defined", I would wear it more often but it has sadly flaked every single time I have used it. - Boy Brow eyebrow pomade in brown: looks great and I have had no issues with it, this product is more for evening out color and brow hair direction than hold. - No. 1 eyeliner Pencil in Kiln red: I was looking everywhere for a red pencil eyeliner and this is the best one, it goes on smooth and dries down well enough that I have worn it during a workout and had no smudging. - Cloud paint in Storm: the color is amazing and the formula is the right amount of buildable. - Balm Dotcom in Rose, Birthday, and Cookie Butter: all three smell and taste amazing and I would love to try more, however, it seemed to be marketed as a tinted lip balm and the colors just did not show up or last more than a couple minutes. (This product is also not unique enough to warrant the price so I would only get one if you are curious instead of three). - Generation G lipstick in Fuzz: I was a bit disappointed in this formula as it ended up creasing a bit weirdly and the other colors available are not flattering on most people. - Ultralip lipstick in Ember: I liked it at first but I find that it becomes uneven after about an hour of wear. My recommendation for this product would be to only wear it if your lips are fully hydrated and to reapply more often. - Glossier You perfume: it smells amazing! My first purchase came with a free sample and the scent profile is modern, youthful, and honestly a little addicting. I have not bought a full bottle though because it is quite expensive. In addition, when I was in D.C. I was able to visit their Georgetown store and try almost all of their makeup products (available in the summer of 2022). - Boy Brow in clear: does dry down with a slight white cast so if you have darker brows I would opt out of this one. - Generation G lipstick: the colors are a hit or miss so I would recommend trying them on when they are available in Sephora stores next year. - No. 1 eyeliner pencil: I was able to try each of the shades and all of the formulas were opaque and dried down well. - Lip Gloss: the texture was nice and I loved the gold color - Pro Tip liquid eyeliner: great standard liquid eyeliner - Lidstar: did not blend out well and was disappointed with the texture - Skywash: did not blend out well, the formula was chalky, and the colors did not hold up well - Stretch concealer: amazing, very buildable - Monochromes eyeshadow: I wish the shadows were more pigmented and had more variations in color options - Perfecting skin tint: good for evening out color and redness but don't think of it as a foundation - Brow flick: very precise tip and seems natural - Solar paint bronzer: okay but when blended out it doesn't really add anything - Haloscope highlighter : nice, I wish there were more shades
Feedback
I overall like quite a few of Glossier's products and would love to see what they come out with next! However, I do find that it is more of an aesthetic than a holy grail brand. An aesthetic that I have bought into, yes, but an aesthetic nonetheless. Not all of their products are perfect, but they have enough star products to have a place on my shelf.
Italic
Experience
I got the women's dark green hoodie and sweatpants (I can't remember the name it was under but it is sadly not for sale anymore) and I like them! The fabric is thick but soft on the inside. It feels very high quality and the stitching on the seams appears to be done nicely. One issue I ran into was that both garments, though especially the sweatpants, shed after I washed them the first couple of times. It has gone away now and has not affected the softness of the lining but it is something to be aware of.
Feedback
I am happy with the quality of the products from Italic and would buy from them again. I do wish they would provide more product options (such as sizing, colors, or garments) but I understand that is something that may be a bit difficult with their business model.
