    All words fall short in capturing my absolute love for this brand! I've tried many of their products, but I think my favorite three right now are the Lip Soufflé Matte Lip Cream in Fearless, the Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in Bliss, and the Positive Light Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 20 Sunscreen. Their products are impressively long-lasting and the packaging is so aesthetic! This is definitely an invest that pays off for any makeup enthusiast. Whether you're on the hunt for an everyday essential or something that will wow at a special occasion, I wholeheartedly recommend shopping Rare Beauty for your makeup staples!

    Liquid I.V.

    The first time I tried Liquid I.V. - I decidedly said it was not for me. So what made me change my mind to give this a 5 star review? Well, let's start from the beginning. We were in Florida during the hottest days of the Summer and someone had brought a pack of the Lemon Limes along. I put one pack in a water bottle and instantly thought it was far too salty and tasted like ocean water. Keep reading, though because I learned later on that, while I did not like the Lemon Lime, the other flavors are actually tasty as heck! It was almost a whole year late that I went out and bought a pack on my own. Our office is obsessed with these things - at 4:00pm every day, my boss walks around the office and makes sure everyone has their daily Liquid I.V. I always turned them down because of my first experience. But, as time went on, I started to wonder if not liking them was just a me thing. I was also feeling like my body wasn't getting enough hydration - especially on gym days - and I needed something to supplement my typical water intake. So I went to Target, stared at the whole section, and bought two that day. Tropical Punch Hydration Multiplier and the Hydration Multiplier+ with Immune Support Tangerine Flavor. Let me tell you - these flavors are SO good and it really works! The next day I wasn't feeling dehydrated like I had the previous days after working out. Honestly, I was even looking forward to my next one! So all this to say - If you've tried these in the past and didn't like them, try a different flavor! There are so many out there, you're bound to find one that you really like. And, if you haven't tried them before, make sure you don't give up just because of one flavor that isn't for you.

    Honestly have nothing against the brand, it's just not for me. I had one for a bit and, while it was useful from time to time, I just found it to be more of a hassle when I wasn't using it. Like when you go to put it in your pocket, the socket gets caught on the hem or something. And, if you want to take it off you're left with a residue that you have to scrub off. I will say that I'm always tempted to give into it again with all the cute designs and various new products they come out with. I just haven't found one that's enough to draw me back into it just yet.

    I have tested quite a few products from Grove Collective, but mostly the Hand Soap and Dish Soap. I want to be the person who's all in and says they understand the hype, but, after using multiple bottles of each product, I can't say I see too much of a difference between this and other brands. I love the mission, don't get me wrong, but the only way I'd buy these is if there was a sale - which is what the case was the last time I bought them. The scents are good, not too strong and not too hidden, so I liked that. But, again, I can't see a reason to spend the extra money when I can just buy a generic brand that has the same results.

    My friend suggested I try these and, at first I was skeptical, but after trying a few different products from their brand, I have to say, I'm sold! Need a guilt-free way to tame your sweet tooth? This is your solution. Will be purchasing again and probably trying a few different candies next time.

    Flamingo

    Love this brand and these shavers. So much that I immediately bought a replacement when I lost mine between traveling. There are a few things I love about these shavers - First, they work super well. I've never had an issue with the shaver irritating my skin when I shave right and I usually get it all in one go. Second, it makes traveling easy. If I know I'm headed somewhere, all I have to do is grab a single head or a whole pack, throw it in my bad, and bring the handle with me. So much safer than having to bring an entire shaver with me and I don't have to gamble with buying a disposable one and hoping it works as well as my Flamingo one. Third, the grip on these things is great. Most shavers are completely plastic or only have a little bit of material so it won't slip. The whole handle here is a silicone-like grip making it easy to keep control. Lastly, the designs are cute! I originally had the purple one and loved it, but, after losing it, I bought the limited edition orange one and somehow love it even more! Not to mention it came with an exfoliation rag which I really love and use almost daily. Highly recommend this brand for a good shaving experience and saving money in the long-run.

    I begged my parents to get these for me Christmas 2017. The following year I'd be doing my semester abroad and just really wanted nice luggage for the trip. They were kind enough to give-in and purchase a set of the prettiest pink ones for me. The medium suitcase and the carry-on. Both have built-in code locks, with a TSA-friendly keyhole. I can't explain why, but the built-in lock feels 10x's safer than any other alternative. They roll so well and the handles are easy to open / close. If you purchase a carry-on, you can get the added perk of a portable charger that sits under the adjustable handle. The cool thing is that you can pop this charger out of the case completely - it's come just about everywhere with me, luggage or not. I've had it for about 7 years now and both luggage items have held up so well - almost like new! Highly recommend for anyone in need of a good suitcase.

    I was ahead of the curve when it came to Quip and purchased an electrical one before it was ever in a store. While I did enjoy using it, I can't say it quite stood up to my expectations as I've now reverted back to a basic toothbrush with a changeable head. I can't say I have any real complaints other than price, heads not feeling like they could last long, and batteries dying often. I think what it just came down to was that I didn't really like the grip in my hand and it wasn't the brush for me.

    Scrub Daddy

    Didn't get the hype until my mom gifted me a pack when I moved recently. Loved the cute designs and, even more, how effective they were when it came to cleaning dishes. Cold water keeps them stiff and warm water gets them to loosen up a bit. I've seen some people confused how this makes sense, but, I'm just saying, who washes their dishes with cold water? I've never had an issue with this. Plus the mouth slot is great for utensils and the eyes are even good for straws. Now when I go to the store, I specifically look for these when I'm out buying a new one. The original Scrub Daddy is nice, but, if you can find them, I'd say opt for the Scrub Mommy. These have two different sides - much like a traditional sponge. PLUS they have a ton of different themed shapes like Christmas, Halloween, and cats or dogs for our pet lovers.

    Oatly

    By far the best oat milk out there - dare I say the best non-dairy milk out there. I've never been disappointed with Oatly. I know it's mostly branded as the barista's choice, but I love using it for my cereal as well. Those who like a little more of an oat-y flavor will definitely be able to get behind this one as well. Great flavor, great consistency, and great branding. Each carton comes with different packaging and they're all honestly so entertaining to read. So, in addition to a great product, I also have to give it to them for stellar branding!
