DedCool
Experience
I love their scents, very sexy and gender neutral. The fragrances are great, nothing but good experiences. That said, I was REALLY stoked about the laundry detergent. I wanted all my clothes to smell like Milk. However, for as many rave reviews as I've heard, the scent didn't cling to the fabric at all- seriously, as if I hadn't used a fragranced wash. It was disappointing to pay such a premium (and I bought 2 at once!) for hardly any result. But I still love the scents themselves, and hang on to hope that they may improve!

Longer lasting fragrance for laundry detergent
Summer Fridays
Experience
I really admire this brand, Summer Fridays basically created California cool, or at least bottled it. I've had generally good experiences with their products, but nothing has lived up their original product, the Jet Lag Mask. That's why I was so disappointed when I was the recipient of a bad batch that totally ruined my skin with redness and irritation for a week. I also had a friend use the Vitamin C serum, and Facetime me with a horrible rash all over her face. These experiences make me nervous about their quality control. That said, I'm still rooting for the brand and the team behind them, and if something sparks my interest I'd be willing to give them another shot!

I bought the small tote in the light brown shade for the spring, and I love it. Great quality, with a cool lived-in vibe. I can tell that the more I use the bag, the better it will look. I love products that get better with wear!
Oatly
Experience
Oatly is an absolute staple in my house. The creamiest non-dariy milk, in fact, it's better than milk! The flavor is cleaner, and more buttery. Delicious. The reason I doc 1 star is for the inclusion of rapeseed oil, which is known by all nutritionists to be bad for our health.
Feedback
I wish they would develop a formula with an alternative, like coconut oil- would be tastier, too!
Billie
Experience
I just love Billie razors. Truly the best razors I've ever used (since those Venus gel razors) and leave my skin smooth and soft without any irritation. The magnetic shower holder is convenient, and I've had the same one for at least 3 years, along with my razor handle- super durable. I also love the branding and philosophy of the brand. What's not to love!
Velour Beauty
Experience
These lashes are gorgeous, so fluffy and glam, a real statement maker. My one complaint is that the band is very thick, making it tricky to secure- the edges often lift and poke me throughout wear, which is a bummer for such expensive lashes. If the band were thinner, these would be holy grail.
Feedback
Thinner band and/or more tacky glue
Bread Beauty Supply
Experience
I have relatively straight hair with semi-oily and irritable scalp, and the cleansing conditioner worked so well with my hair type! I love how easy the 1-step is, it smells wonderful, and left my hair and scalp feeling happy and moisturized. Also the branding is just *heart eyes*

Nothing :)

Experience
This lotion bar is so lovely and luxurious, you can FEEl the love that went into creating it. I love that the ritual of application forces you to slow down (you have to slowly drag the bar across your skin for it to melt) and the experience is lovely. It's a bit heavy for me in the summer, but my skin drinks it up in the winter. Love that it's package-free as well! Very travel-friendly.

Nothing :)
Ursa Major
Experience
I want to love this line so badly. It's affordable clean beauty in minimalist packaging, and I appreciate their non-fluffy approach to skincare. Frankly, the formulas just aren't stand out in any way, and in fact, the Face Balm (deceivingly named, more like a lightweight gel-cream with lots of essential oils) made my skin feel congested and not hydrated at the same time.
Feedback
More effective formulas, and oil-free formulas would be great for breakout prone skin.

Debaser is one of my favorite fragrances EVER. It's so fresh and sweet and warm yet green, milky and creamy yet bright. The branding is 100, the scents are unique and complex without being inaccessible, and the store experiences are *chef's kiss*. Obsessed with this brand.

I would love some more sweet vanilla-based scents :)
