Nuud
Experience
I only use this during the summer, but the tiny tube means it’s easy to forget I have it. When I do remember, it does help keep my pits pretty dry. There are still scenarios where I experience breakthrough sweat, like in job interviews, but overall it keeps me pretty dry. I don’t know about 3-7 days, but it’s also been a while since I’ve used this stuff. It’s not clear to me how this product isn’t bad for me (isn’t it bad to stop your pits from sweating?). Yes, it doesn’t have aluminum, but what are the long-term effects of preventing your armpits from sweating? I will admit that the friendly branding assuages me. And I don’t use it all the time, so I guess that makes it okay in terms of health. It is a hassle to apply. Nobody likes applying this stuff to their armpits with their fingers . It doesn’t spread easily, which is hard because you’re only supposed to use a tiny amount.
Feedback
If there was a way to make the formula easier to spread, that would be great. The packaging could feature an applicator for finger-free application. It’s also not clear how I’m supposed to properly recycle the tube when I’m done. Am I supposed to clean out before tossing in the bin (but it’s so small, could be hard to do that). Is the cap recyclable? Seems to small to be recycled.

Kept seeing this brand advertised to me on IG, so I was really excited when it was offered as a Thingdrop. The delivery was pretty quick. I’ve tried the crew socks and they are very soft and comfortable. The colors they offer are really cute as well. I love the solid colors. Prints are tricky and so easy to get wrong sometimes. I also love the fact that they are made with sustainable materials and are so well-priced. What I’ve found is that good, everyday (not sport) socks are hard to find. The really good ones are from specialty sock brands, but they are usually expensive (socks are a utilitarian garment!). Then there are socks from fast fashion brands, which are never worth it. Doublesoul has filled a gap and they will be top of mind for me for sure when it comes to quality sock brands.

Would love a mid-calf sock, please. That’s the only thing that was stopping me from ordering from your website, so I’m glad I got to try through Thingtesting.

Delicious. I don't have the highest expectations for these "healthy" treats, but these allow me to have my chocolate first thing in the morning without the sugar spike or crash. I received the Pumpkin Spice flavor and I'd love to try their other variants.
Feedback
I took a point off because I was honestly shocked at how much packaging these come in! I received a tiny box of the 4-pack and the shipping box it came in was 8x bigger than the actual product. I understand that the shipping box was so big to accommodate the dry ice, insulation packs, etc., but I can't help but be disturbed at how unsustainable it all was. I love their product, so I hope I can find it in stores, so I don't have to feel guilty about having it shipped.
Pipette
Experience
I don’t have a baby, but I love this brand so much. Their packaging is just so clean and appealing to me. Their sunblock is quite oily, but I’ve made my peace with it because of how hydrating it is. I’ll only wear it at home or while running errands. On days when my skin is feeling sensitive, I’ll reach for it as well. I have their Baby Balm, which is plant-based and free of petroleum jelly. I use it for slugging or for soothing chapped areas and it is so comforting. Not a fan of the lip balm because it is too thin and leaves an oily taste in my mouth, but if you want a convenient stick moisturizer, it will work well. The Baby Wipes are such great quality. I don’t know how, but they don’t dry out even after months. I have the Hand Sanitizer, and it’s so sticky and leave a film. This is the only product that I’ve tried that I truly dislike. I’ve gifted Pipette to mothers with babies. The pricing is so reasonable, they have really cute bundles, and if they fall in love with the products, I know they can easily find them at Target.

Please make your hand sanitizer less sticky!!

Packaging is super cute. They are also very reasonably priced. They go on sale all the time if you’re curious to try. Their Airblush is really light and easy to work with. Easy to apply, but not very buildable. The more you add product, the more it kind of spreads around and suddenly you have blush all over your cheek. There’s a high amount of silicones in this, which is why they’re so easy to spread. Their Fluffmatte lipsticks come in gorgeous colors. They offer colors that should be part of your lipstick wardrobe and work for a range of skin tones. They’re great for everyday or glam nights, but you won’t find crazy colors, like purple. Major is a brick red that will work on many skin tones. Other popular colors include Vacay and Baked, which fall on the nude colors spectrum. Fluffmatte lipsticks are also very high in silicones, which is why they’re so lightweight and easy to wear. They’re not as drying as other matte lipsticks, but you do need to refresh with a lip balm at some point. My most recent discovery are the Lip Treats. So moisturizing and sheer. I brought three colors, but Poppy and Chai are my favorite.
Feedback
These recently became available in the US, but the shipping takes forever and ever. I’ve ordered 3x and every time it takes a full week for them to ship out the order and then another week to arrive. The transit time doesn’t bother me, but why would it take a full week to ship out in the first place? I almost knocked another point off because of this, but the products themselves deserves 4 points.
Unsun Cosmetics
Experience
Really, really wanted to like these, but they are so oily. Back when I had oily, acne-prone skin, I hated the finish. Now that my skin is clear and is more normal, it the effect is super glowy, which looks great, especially in photos. But it just feels so heavy and oily on my face. Not comfortable to wear at all. And forget wearing any kind of makeup on top. It will smear everywhere, unless you use a primer. I just wear this at home, but will not repurchase. I will say that I purchased the wrong shade at a store and their customer service worked with me to replace it with my shade.
Glossier
Experience
I’ve tried a few Glossier makeup items. The eyeliner smudged on my under-eye, so I returned it. Their customer service is so quick and friendly. The Generation G lipsticks are tricky. They’re really dry your lips out, so you have to apply a thick coat of lip balm before applying. Don’t even attempt in the winter through; they’re just too drying. The Ultralips are more hydrating. Neither of these lip options last, which is fine since they don’t promise that. Love the Lid Paints. So easy to use and have that soft, pretty watercolor effect on the eyes. I always get compliments when I wear them, but they dry out so quickly. They phased out Glossier Play, but I bought some Color Slide eyeliners from that line. Usually, pencil eyeliners smear all over my under-eyes, but these have some restraint. Maybe I’ll have a little smudging at the end of the day, but they’re easy to wipe off.
Feedback
Would be great if you could bring back some items from Glossier Play, like the Color Slide eyeliners.

I tried their eyeliners. They come in a range of eye-popping shades, but they dry out so quickly. It doesn’t feel great to restock every six months to a year, at the price they’re offering them. Otherwise, they’re so easy to work with. So smooth and no smudging. Love the backstory of using the same brushes as Japanese calligraphy artists (or something like that).
Feedback
Please fix the packaging, so that they don’t dry out as quickly! Eyeliner like this should last in your makeup bag for at least two years.

This was a little disappointing. The packaging is super cute, but the products were largely hit or miss. The eyeshadows were terrible. So messy and hard to work with. The eyeliner was fine at first, but if I’m not wearing primer, they will transfer to my under-eyes. Stay away from the lip stains. They don’t work well at all and emphasize all the dryness on your lips. The lipsticks are not bad. The Tiramisu is that perfect ‘90s brown lipstick. I contacted customer service to return the lip stain and eye shadows, and it took them forever. I had to follow-up, but they took care of my return and refund in the end.

I just wish the formulations were are great as the packaging.

The sleep supplement worked really well for me, but ultimately, they were just priced a little higher than what I was willing to pay.
