Ahh August is almost over! This is my least favorite month, because it always feels 10x longer and its wayyyyy too hot! I'm a little late with my post because I worked the Pokemon World Championships and unable to try products immediately, so here we go! BTW I loved the design of the box this month, so cute with the little 3D pool! I've now stored hair-ties, clips, and headbands in it and put it on display in my bathroom cabinet.Air Repair Complexion Boosting Moisturizer- Full Size $20
Packed with antioxidants and humectants, this rich cream hydrates and revitalizes dry or dull skin.
I tried this for the first time on Sunday and I was pleasantly surprised. I really didn't want another moisturizer to add to my overgrown collection, but this turned out well. When I read the description I thought it might be a cheaper (but still expensive) option to the Ren Evercalm Global Protection Day Cream, which I love, but I didn't find it to be. The scent is strong, but you can't smell the product once its on your face, and I do feel that it's light as "air". I don't think it did anything special to my overly oily skin, which can look dull at times. Final Grade: C+, Would Not Purchase
Benefit Cosmetics Air Patrol- Full Size $29
New! The first BB primer made just for your eyelids, this cream color corrects and protects delicate skin.
I haven't actually tried this yet, but I'm always up for trying pre-releases from Benefit! I'm worried though that it'll be too moisturizing for my lids, I guess we'll have to wait and see!
DevaCurl SuperCream Coconut Curl Styler- Full Size $28
Lightweight formula that conditions, enhances, and defines waves and curls while calming frizz.
I've never used DevaCurl before because I'm such a Miss Jessie's loyalist, but I've liked using this product. It was an absolutely generous sample size. A little bit does in fact go a long way, but controlling frizz in the long term didn't really work out. Final Grade: B, Possibly Would Purchase
LAQA & Co. Charm School Kit- Set of 3 $20
This creamy crayon delivers a rich, easy to apply color for both lips and cheeks.
These chubby sticks can be used for both lips and cheeks, but I'll most likely only use it as a lip color. I'm not really into cream cheek colors. I received the color Humble Brag and its a really nice medium pink, although it looks a little clownish on me. I think Birchbox.com called it baby pink, but I would disagree. I really enjoy that it's super pigmented and matte, but it's very drying on my lips. Its also broken at the bottom so it really doesn't lock when you twist it down. You also don't get a lot of product in general from the sample. Final Grade: C, Would Not Buy
Style refreshing spray that saps excess oil, gives hair volume and body, and adds tousled texture.
This was my sample choice this month. I love dry shampoo and I had never heard of this brand before, so I gave it a try! It isn't a bad dry shampoo, sprays clear, does a decent job, but not worth the price. Batiste is my favorite dry shampoo and this one doesn't compare. It was nice to try though in case I'm ever in the mood to splurge or see it on sale. Final Grade: B+, Would Buy
Not a bad box this month, I'm really impressed with DevaCurl and the overall size of my samples this month. Today we got to choose our sample for September and I decided to get the Anastasia Beverly Hills Perfect Brow Pencil Mini in Medium Brown
! I've always wanted to try it, its actually a shade darker than what I would normally be in her line of products, but I'm still excited! That's all for now!
<3's Laterz!
