Leaders 7 Wonders sheet masks (link): Another month, another pile of sheet masks. By now I probably don't even need to tell how much I like them.
Oz Naturals Vitamin C facial cleanser (link): It's a very basic, gentle face wash. It has a faint citrus scent. I have many face cleansers and since it didn't excite me, I used it to wash my makeup brushes.
Fresh Soy Facial Cleanser (link): For the longest time I knew of Fresh brand and I've tried their samples here and there, but I've never been into the brand until recently. Now I want everything that they carry. This cleanser has a thin consistency, smells amazing and while it's pretty basic, I really enjoyed using it. It removed makeup well and lasted quite long.
Mario Badescu Glycolic Foaming Cleanser (link): Just like with Fresh, I've got into Mario Badescu pretty recently, but I enjoy using most of the products. Glycolic foaming cleanser didn't have the greatest smell for my liking, but I still used it up. A little goes a long way, so this little bottle lasted me a while. I used this as my morning cleanser and the skin felt really clean, but not dry afterwards.
Botanics Radiant Youth hydrating eye cream (link): I bought this cream without thinking much as I ran out of an eye cream and needed something hydrating and quickly. I didn't expect much and wanted a basic cream, which I got. This cream is really nice, it's not too thick and doesn't feel greasy on the skin. It sinks in quickly, gives plenty of moisture for the undereye area and it doesn't interfere with makeup application. I would gladly repurchase it again.
Passport To Organics Extreme Caffeine eye cream* (link to the regular caffeine cream): I'm not sure if this one is discontinued, but the brand still offers regular caffeine eye cream. Just like their other products, this eye cream is extremely long lasting. It has a light tint and smells just like coffee, so I enjoyed using this cream in the morning. It's not greasy, it applies easily and sinks into the skin well. I do recommend this eye cream.
Hanna Organic Gentle Cleanser* (link) and Everyday Creme* (link): I've recently shared my review on Hanna Organic Skincare, so you can read my thoughts on these products HERE. P.S. 15% discount code is still active - use "blondiesworld15" and save some money (it's not an affiliate code and I don't benefit from it in any way).
Farmacy Honey Potion hydration mask (link): I've heard great reviews about this mask, so I was very excited to try this sample. It lasted me for 2 uses. I don't have sensitive skin and I use acids in my skincare, but this mask just wasn't for me. The first time I used it I applied it following directions, but I didn't feel much warmth. Instead my skin felt somewhat uncomfortable. After washing it off my face was red and felt raw to the touch for a while, so I didn't want to use it again. However, eventually I used it up on my chin and again the skin got red though I didn't experience any other discomfort.
Fresh Black Tea Instant Perfecting Mask (link): This mask is amazing! I love everything about it. It smells great, it is a quick beauty treatment, it leaves the skin feeling cool (very refreshing and would be amazing in summer). The skin is left soft, hydrated and with a healthy glow. It's one of those products that you use and can't tell what is different about your face, but you can tell that it made a difference. It is on the pricier side, but it lasted me for 4 months, so it's not bad. I will definitely get it again.
Pour Moi Polar Climate day cream* (link): I've reviewed this cream very recently, so you can check my feedback HERE. I loved this cream as it was light enough yet gave great hydration and protection from the cold. My only complaint is how quickly I ran out of it. On day I tried to pump it out and it was gone. I even banged it on the countertop thinking that maybe the pump for stuck or something as I couldn't believe that I'd be out of it. It's a 1 oz bottle and I used it only on the colder days 1-2 times a day, so it barely lasted me 3 weeks (if even that) of continuous use. However, I did like it a lot and I would repurchase it again.
Calvin Klein Deep Euphoria EDP (link): I'm not a fan of Calvin Klein perfumes and there was one Euphoria edition that I liked (it reminded my mom's perfume from when I was little) though still wasn't something I would wear. When I was looking for new fragrance in spring, I smelled Deep Euphoria out of curiosity and didn't expect anything, but I fell in love instantly. Usually when I like a scent I'll wear it a few times before deciding if I like it enough to purchase, but Deep Euphoria was love at first sight. I purchased it and never regretted it.
Sephora Avocado hand mask (link): It's a single use glove-type hand mask that I enjoy using. It's especially helpful when my hands gets dry in cold weather. The effect doesn't last too long, but the hands become beautiful and soft and they stay nice for 1-2 days, so it's more of a treatment before parties/special events or just once a week self pampering.
Alba Botanica Acnedote face & body scrub (link): Do I still need to talk about this scrub? I feel like it gets into my empties every month. It's one of my must have products that I've been using for years and I'm not planning to stop.
Korres Mulberry Vanilla shower gel (link): This smells incredible! To be honest, I wasn't looking for a shower gel when I got this one. I smelled it and I had to have it. This body wash made showering extra special. It had a somewhat creamy texture, a little went a long way and it left skin soft and hydrated. I would repurchase it again in the same scent.
Rituals shower foam (link): It's my second mini of Rituals foaming shower gel and I love it. It's a very unique texture and it smells great. However, I think just like all foam products, it tends to dry the skin a bit. I would probably use such product in summertime.
Hello Bubblegum flavor kid's toothpaste (link): While I like fresh minty breath I don't always want that, especially when I'm going to eat/drink right after brushing my teeth. I always brush my teeth the moment I get up in the morning and I just can't stand the taste of mint toothpaste mixing with food flavors, so I choose very lightly flavored toothpastes that don't leave any taste in the mouth. I've been using Hello toothpastes for at least half a year now and I really enjoy their variety. Even the minty ones aren't too strong, but I pick other flavors for my mornings. I'm always unsure about using kid's toothpaste, but this Hello one has the same active ingredients in the same percentage as the adult Hello toothpastes, so I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

L'oreal Excellence Creme hair color in 10 Lightest Ultimate Blonde (link): I color my hair and I want it to be very very light blonde with neutral, not yellow/brassy undertones.This hair dye is nice as it doesn't smell bad, it goes on easily, doesn't tangle the hair and is easy to use overall, but I have trouble finding the right shade. It seems that my hair doesn't gt as light as I would expect with a certain shade (I've used different shade of this product in the past) and it has some yellow tone in it. I gt used to the color, I neutralize the tone after a couple of washes with a blue shampoo, but I still miss easy and perfect shade that I get with Garnier's White Chocolate color.
Virtue The Perfect Ending split end serum* (link): When I think about hair serums I think about something oil or water based, but this serum had the texture of hair lotion/cream. It was light yet powerful enough for my fine hair and a little went a long way. I would gladly use it again in the future.
Giovanni Vitapro Fusion leave-in hair treatment (link): I'm sure I've showed this in one of my blog posts already as it is one of my must have products. I've been using this leave-in conditioner for years and it is perfect for my hair. It makes my hair shiny, soft, it helps detangling it. The only complain is that the cap never stays on - it just keeps falling off (and this happens with every single one of the bottles).
