I love trying new beauty products! Luckily, my momma knows this and put some new beauty products into my Christmas stocking. I’ve also picked up a few things here or there and received some fun things in the mail, so I thought I’d do a roundup of the eight health and beauty products that I’ve been trying out lately! I’ve linked to everything in case you want to check it out online, but all of these products can be found at a drugstore or at Target!
Cetaphil Oil Control Foam Wash • If you haven’t heard the horror story, I had a breakout, and when I attempted to treat the breakout, I had an allergic reaction to a product that I used. I had no idea what caused it or if it was a combination of products, so I went back to the basics. I’ve had really good results with this wash, and I love that it’s for oily skin. I don’t like that it doesn’t come in smaller bottles.
Cetaphil Oil Control Moisturizer • This is the moisturizer that goes with the above cleanser. I’m not in love with it, as the consistency and scent is identical to sunscreen, but it works well.
Crest Whitestrips (Classic) • These are awesome! I used to use them religiously in high school, and I’ve noticed a need for them lately due to my over-the-top iced coffee and Diet Coke consumption. I know there are others on the market, but I have been really pleased with the classic. I saw results after one use, which makes me extremely happy!
Wet Brush (Professional) • I love my Wet Brush. I got one for Christmas last year, and I have given them as gifts to pretty much everyone I know! I don’t see much of a difference in the professional and regular, but I love that this one is metallic. It makes for pretty Instagram photos 😉
COVERGIRL Plumpify Mascara (c/o) • If you follow me on Snapchat (username is seersuckersass), you have seen the “before and after” pictures of this mascara! Ultimately, I wasn’t in love with it. It didn’t do much for me, and when I asked my boyfriend if he noticed a difference in my lashes, he commented that they looked weird. I’ve continued to use it to see if maybe I can get a better angle on the brush, but I probably won’t re-purchase.
L’Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow, Shade 760 • I bought this in November for the Gangster Gala I attended. I went very old Hollywood with a twist, and this perfectly matched the feather hairpiece I wore. The eyeshadow is gorgeous on, and I’ve since rocked it with LBDs. The only downside to me is that it’s kind of messy. Mine cracked and got everywhere, and since it’s super pigmented, I scrubbed my bathroom with a makeup removing wipe! Haha.
Burt’s Bees Lip Shimmer in Apricot • I love wearing this on days that I don’t wear much makeup. It’s neutral, it’s moisturizing, and it has just a hint of shimmer. I hope to pick this up in a few more colors!
COVERGIRL Oh Sugar! in Sprinkle (c/o) • This stuff is amazing. It’s vitamin infused, super moisturizing, and the color is nice and pigmented. (I was shocked at how pigmented it is for a balm!) In the winter, I often feel like I have to alternate between lipstick and Carmex, but this is seriously the best of both worlds!

The Covergirl Oh Sugar sounds awesome!Also my wet brush is the best and I wish I had multiple.xoxo, Jenny
Ooh I have to try that Covergirl Oh Sugar! I'm a lip product hoarder – I have too many and don't need anymore, but every time I'm at the store I see another one I just have to try :)X,cristinaoncampus.blogspot.com
I loooove the Wet Brush, but I love a good tinted lip balm. I like lipstick, but I hate when it's too sticky! If you say these are good…I trust you! Nicole // Chronicling Home
I love reading reviews of drugstore buys because you can't try them in the store.
I love cetaphil products! I have super sensitive skin and they don't irritate it. -Ruyasweetshortandstylish.com
I love the white strips! I use them a lot! They're the best! xoLauren
The wet brush is my absolute favorite! I could never go back to an ordinary brush :)Morgan http://www.byronbirkinburch.com/
Love the way this is written and I love your honest reviews…anything from Burt's Bee's gets an A+ from me!xoxo, SSThe Southern Stylista
I really like that you do swatches! It makes it much easier for me to get a feel of what kind of product is being shown. Thank you!
Love that Covergirl Oh Sugar! And I've never used a wet brush, but you might have convinced me to get one!Alexandra Adams | X-Height-Ment
Cetaphil is a miracle for sensitive skin! I have eczema so that's the only thing that doesn't irritate it.
LOVE burt's bees… will have to try that covergirl one too!
I am also obsessed with Crest white strips, I drink so much coffee and I find that they work really well. I've never tried a wet brush but I've always wanted to!
I love the Cetaphil face wash! I have used it for a while and it is great:)xo, Jordan and Gracetwoblondepreps.blogspot.com
I've been wanting to try L'Oreal's Infallible shadows for the longest time! I love that you picked an interesting shade to play around with 🙂
Too bad the mascara didn't work out! Covergirl is always hit or miss! I want to pick up the oh sugar product too!HashtagFabLife
Loving all these products. The Instagram brush photo looks so pretty! I am definitely going to check out that Burt's Bees product, I didn't know they made so many awesome lip products until recently!
Love this!! I might have to try the covergirl :-)XO,Hannah from http://www.hmsjewels.com
I always pick up chapstick at the drugstore. I probably have a million hidden in nooks and crannies lol
Your boyfriend's response to the mascara cracks me up! That Burt's Bees chapstick looks so nice- but I usually get so much chapstick in my stocking at Christmas I never have to buy my own! But I may branch out for this one 🙂
Love these! I want to try the Cetaphil moisturizer!x Sarahhttp://www.bohochiccafe.com
I use Cetaphil and it works soooo good! I break out really badly around my period and it takes WEEKS to clear up, but since I've been using Cetaphil, it only takes a could of days!
I recently discovered Burt's Bees line of lipstick, and they are just perfect! If you're a fan of the brand, you should definitely give it a try! XO
