ON TOP OF YOUR WORLD

FINALLY! My review is HERE! I took my time trying out these products so I could have a slightly more in-depth review compared to the standard "oh, this looks nice" reviews of boxes that just arrived.

   What's in it for me..? shower scrubMy first product was decently sized shower scrub. I've had the chance to use it 2/3 times already and it is nearly finished. It gently exfoliates, not harsh or abrasive and is as pleasant smelling like any other standard bath/shower product. overall I enjoyed this product.
  Jour d'automne Smoothing Balm.
I like the sleek minimal premium looking packaging, and it is a nice sized product (30ml). I also like how it smelled, nothing particularly sweet or fruity, just clean smelling. However, I was disappointed by the results. Not only does it not de-frizz hair as the label indicates, but I also found it left hair looking dry, dull, and matted, altogether lifeless and unflattering on both natural and colored hair.
  Marcelle City 24hr Moisturising EmulsionWhat I like most about this is that is is Anti-pollution, which is important when living in a city as city pollution can clog pores and the build-up leaves your skin looking dull and tired.at 7ml it is very small but fits nicely in a small crossbody city bag for on the go.it has a thicker consistency than regular moisturizers, but absorbs into skin quickly and doesn't leave residue, however, doesn't smell as pleasant as majority of moisturizers.


  Eyeko London Skinny liquid eyeliner
This deluxe mini size fits perfectly in a coin purse, and its smudge proof precise formula means its perfect for on the go. I am notorious for applying eyeliner and mascara on the train or bus and this felt liner is great for that. the formula was a little watery when it arrived but the pitch black color came through eventually. the only downside is that it is not waterproof but we can live with that.
Benefit blushSubscribers got a choice of one of two benefit mini blushes Galafornia, and Gold Rush. there was a mix up with mine where I was sent the wrong blush and was later sent the correct one so luckily I ended up with both to review for you! Both smell amazing, but I found that the mini compacts are a little chalkier than the full-sized and I struggled to swatch them with my fingers and had to work a little harder with a blush brush than I usually would, but they did apply nicely eventually with good color pay off. Galafornia - peachy/coral blush, high pigment, apply lightly

Gold Rush - more of a highlighter blush, pale pink with lots of gold shimmer.
