Hey you guys! I’m back with the FIRST installment of something I’m going to be working on and it’s called *insert 🥁 roll* TRASH?! or TREASURE?! In this series posted EVERY WEDNESDAY, I will be reviewing a series of beauty products and I’ll be giving you guys my HONEST opinion on what I think about them.
The first item we’ll start with is the Nivea Soft Moisturizing Cream. I bought this at my local Walgreens, I have sensitive skin, and the moisturizer I had been using started to really dry out and irritate my skin. I purchased this when it was on sale for about $5 ( it normally retails for $6.99). It has a light scent and doesn’t feel heavy on the skin. It’s also packed with Vitamin E and jojoba oil. Which help your skin feel supple and fresh all day. I’ve been using this product for several months now and I say this product is: TREASURE 💎.
Next up, Hello Pure Mint Extra Whitening Flouride Toothpaste. I discovered this product while I was browsing through the toothpaste isle at my local Walmart. This toothpaste is free from artificial sweeteners, microbeads, triclosan, gluten, saccharin, and peroxide. For years, I have struggled with finding a toothpaste that helps me keep my teeth clean without that awful burning sensation you usually get after using other toothpastes. I was really impressed with the fact that it is a Vegan friendly product! Not to mention the price wasn’t too bad either, I got mine for $3.13 (online retail price $4.99). I’ve used this for about a week now and I can see a slight change in my teeth. I’m excited to try more of the Hello brand products, I say this is: TREASURE 💎.
The next item we have is the Broadway Colors Buttery Matte Lip Cream in the shade 09 Forever. I was drawn to this lippie because of its intense Purple color. This lip product retails for about $1 give or take. When I first applied the product on my lips in the light it seemed more burgundy than purple. This made me slightly sad but I was however, disappointed in the number of times I had to dip my wand back into the container. The positive that I got from this product was the smell. It has a light musky smell to it. I’m willing to give this product another try but for right now, I’m gonna say this product is: TRASH 🗑.
This next product is one of my go-to lip glosses! Here we have the L. A. Colors High Shine Shea Butter Lip Gloss in the shade Dollface. This is a nice nude-ish gloss that goes on smooth and looks amazing on all skin tones I believe. I purchased this item from my local Dollar General for about $2. These lip glosses come in a wide range of colors and I plan to try them all someday. I really like the wand that came with the lip gloss, it makes application easy. I especially like how easy it is to do touch-ups. One thing, I don’t like about this particular gloss is that after a while I get this white crust like substance on the innermost parts of my lips which cause me to have to remove this gloss and either reapply or choose something else. I find myself reaching for this a lot in the summer months so I’m going to say this is: TREASURE 💎.
Next up, NYX Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick in the shade Kitten Heels. This is a liquid lipstick that dries to a velvety smooth Matte finish. I wore this for the first time a couple of days ago. I got this lippie as a gift but it normally retails for about $7 at my local Peeble’s clothing store. I really love the wand that comes with this one. I was blown away with how bright it was when I put it on, and even though I think it complimented my skin tone I do believe it was a bit too bright for daytime wear. I definitely wanna give this a few more tries before I give my verdict. So, this product is: 🤷🏾♀️.
I was recommended this product as a replacement for my E.L.F. setting spray. The L’Oreal Paris Infallible Pro-Spray is decent in my opinion. I bought the 1.0 fl oz and it retails for about $7.97. I felt that was kind of steep for such a small bottle but, hey 🤷🏾♀️ it happens. I was disappointed with the size of the bottle and I’m not a fan of the smell. It helps your makeup stay in place pretty well I might admit. Another drawback of this product to me is how sticky my face feels after I’ve sprayed my face to set it. I’ve used this product for a couple of months now and I’d say this product is: TRASH 🗑.
The last product I want to talk about is the Neutrogena Cleansing Towelettes TwinPacks. I was very cautious trying makeup wipes again considering my first experience with wipes caused a chemical burn. I love these compared to other brands because they truly leave my face feeling like I’ve gotten all of makeup off with ONE wipe! Plus, they smell amazing! The twin pack retails for around $8.97 at my local Walmart.
Well guys, that’s all the products I have for this edition of Trash or Treasure. Be on the lookout for my next installment!!
