Courant
Experience
Looks great, but I wasn't wowed.
Feedback
I hate that you have to take off your phone case to use.
Brightland
Experience
I was able to try this brand for free (through a credit offered through the FastAF app), so I jumped at the opportunity. The olive oil is great quality, but I think the bottle was my favorite part! I kept refilling the jar long after I finished it.
Feedback
A bit pricey, but I think this would make a great gift.
MERIT
Experience
I like that this brand makes easy-to-use beauty products that give that flattering no-makeup makeup look. I really like the brow gel, blush, and lip stain. I purchased the holiday 'fete' set around Black Friday, which was a perfect gift size.
Feedback
I didn't think the highlighter stick or mascara was anything special- not bad, but they weren't standouts.
Muji
Experience
Muji is the best. My favorite things are the cleaning system (3+ tools in one, which is great for small space living. The tools also look really nice compared to others). I also love their socks, which are great quality for the price.
Feedback
I've been impressed with everything I've bought so far1
Parade
Experience
At first, I really liked this brand because they were fun, inclusive, and sustainable (and I really liked the high-waisted thong) when they first launched.
Feedback
The underwear is a good price, but the pieces I bought two years ago are ripped or too stretched out. I also dislike how many drops and sales they're constantly doing- feels like they're always trying to get you to buy. more, which isn't really sustainable.
Knickey
Experience
Knickey's undies are great for everyday wear! They're my second favorite to the brand ARQ, but more acceptable to wear out, as the ARQ underwear isn't the best with tight-fitting clothes. I really like the high-waisted thongs.
Feedback
However, even though ARQ is more expensive, I can justify their price point more because they feel so much more high-quality and thicker. I feel like the price point should be more like $10-12 rather than $17.
ARQ
Experience
LOVE LOVE LOVE this brand! I love that they use high-quality materials and take the opposite approach of "sexy lingerie" in the underwear category for women.
Feedback
Sizing definitely runs large- I wear a small typically, but an XS in ARQ. My favorite products are the Misha undies, crop tank, Magda bra, and the Paloma leo (the paloma leo is amazing and so slept on!). The products are worthy every penny- they last forever and are so high-quality. The brand typically has a sale in November with great discounts, so I stock up then.
Girlfriend Collective
Experience
Great brand! I've been wearing them since they offered their leggings at $20 when they launched the brand. I love that they're leggings are high-waisted, form-fitting, and made of recycled materials. I also love their muted/earth tones color scape.
Feedback
Personally, I love their leggings, but the other products I've tried (sports bra and tennis skirt) didn't fit me quite as well. I think it was a personal preference for fit- there was nothing wrong with them.
Glossier
Experience
I've purchased many different Glossier products through the years. Some are super good, some are just ok. I keep coming back to them because of their price point, ease of online/in-store ordering, and commitment to a simple, glowy aesthetic (which I appreciate).
Feedback
The top product that I will continue to buy is the perfume- I truly get so many compliments about it! Cloud Paint and Boy Brow are so hyped that I was expecting them to be amazing, but I'm underwhelmed every time. I prefer the versions from Merit Beauty.
The Ordinary
Experience
Great quality products that are simple, but so affordable. I use the niacinamide, salicylic acid, and caffein solution almost daily and they've done wonders for my skin.
