* = disliked the product - would not repurchase ** = liked the product - would not repurchase *** = liked the product - might or might not repurchase **** = loved the product - would repurchase *HOLY GRAIL!*

1. innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask 2x (10ml / 0.33oz) source: innisfree sample w/ purchase thoughts: I haven’t used a clay mask in a long time. I do find it nice to use one once in a while but I’m not a big fan of it that I would keep a full size in my stash. I much rather prefer just using sheet masks.  rating: ***

2. innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Toner 2x (15ml / 0.5oz) source: innisfree sample w/ purchase thoughts: I have’t used innisfree products in a long time, that I have forgotten how scented innisfree products are. They smell amazing but the scent is quite strong but I don’t mind it, I did have to get use to it. I have started using products that aren’t as heavily scented but this one smelt very nice to me. The product itself seemed fine, but it is hard for me to say since I didn’t use this product for a long time. However, I’m loving all my current products right now. rating: **

3. QUO Organic Cotton Pads (100 pads) source: Real Canadian Superstore thoughts: These cotton pads felt a little more rough than the other one I tried previously. I didn’t find it as soft plus these came with less pads for the same price. rating: *

4. By Wishtrend Mandelic Acid 5% Skin Prep Water (5ml / 0.16oz) source: Wishtrend sample w/ purchase thoughts: I was able to get 3 uses out of this sample. I haven’t used an acid on my face for a long time aside from a vitamin C serum that I’ve tried. It did sting when I went over open wounds which is to be expected but I forgot how that pain felt since I haven’t used this in a long time. I really like this since every time I do use this I find my face texture does get a lot smoother. rating: ****

5. isNtree Spot Saver Mugwort Powder Wash (25 packets) source: Credithink? thoughts: I really enjoyed using these. I found that my skin felt more refreshed and it did help in the texture of my skin. I love how that it’s also portioned out. The only downside is that it’s not very cost effective or environmentally friendly. However, my initial thought of purchasing these were for travel but since covid happened I do have a stash of these kind of one-time washes just sitting around. rating: ***

6. celimax The Real Noni Energy Ampule (30ml) source: YesStyle thoughts: This has a herbal kind of scent to it, but I don’t mind. I felt my skin was very moisturized and plump when I used this. The consistency of this is a little thick and sticky, but it does go away. The packaging to my surprise was plastic and not made of glass. It was also very simple, but I love the fact that the top is a twist dropper where it will automatically suck up product when you twist the cap. rating: ***

7. CrediThink Soft Cotton Pads (40pads) source: CrediThink thoughts: These were pretty good, but not as soft as the unisoft ones. rating: *

8. dear, klairs Daily Skin Hydrating Water (500ml / 16.90oz) source: Wishtrend thoughts: This was an amazingly large bottle. I haven’t seen something like this size before. I did test it out using it like an essence for a few weeks, but I mainly used it as a toner. I liked how refreshing and soothing it was, plus you can also use this as a mist in the summer or even a quick mask. I do not detect any scent to this, plus there aren’t too many ingredients on the list as well. I finished this in 166 days, almost 6 months. I got this on sale during Black Friday in 2019 for $16.07USD because it was part of a set. For the price I paid for this and the duration, I think it was really worth it. I can’t wait to try the other one, but I think I’m going to wait a bit before I try that since the product will last so long. rating: ****

9. Bath & Body Works Micellar Gentle Foaming Hand Soap: Island Papaya (259ml / 8.75oz) source: Bath & Body Works thoughts: I didn’t find much of a difference to the formulation or cleansing power compared to the regular version. I love the scent of this one, which consist of tropical coconut, fresh papaya, and sugarcane. Usually these soaps last a long time for me, however with Covid the soap has been going a lot faster. I love the scent of this but I believe this was a summer scent.  rating: ***

10. Muji Organic Tea Apple & Elderflower (9 tea bags) source: Muji Japan thoughts: I really loved this tea. I really like teas that have an apple scent/ flavour to it because it almost tastes like apple cider in a way. rating: ****

Throw Away

These products are either old/expired or have been opened for a long time, hence I’m discarding them.
