Thank you Sephora, Nudestix, Elizabeth and James, and Kora!

I was lucky to be selected to receive some new products to try courtesy of Nudestix, Elizabeth and James, Kora Organics, and Sephora.

I am very appreciative of this generous gift!

 

The products include:

 

Nudestix #BABEBOSS Faves Box, a limited edition box that has six pencils in matte, cream, and gel formulas handpicked by Nudestix co-founders Ally and Taylor, in addition to some of the brand's favorite beauty influencers.

 

 Nudestix Swatches (added 5/10)

Elizabeth and James Dry Shampoo, for refreshing hair, absorbing oils, and adding texture, in the fragrances Nirvana Rose, and Nirvana Bourbon.

 

Nirvana Rose Dry Shampoo Review: (added 5/10)

Spoiler

I was quite impressed! This fragrance with notes of Rose de Mai, Geranium, and Vetiver is lovely. The mist was fine, and left no weird white residue in my medium brunette hair. I wash my hair every other day, and the slight oil in my hair was eliminated by the product. It did also give some volume at the roots without feeling heavy which is great, as I don't like the feeling of a lot of product in my hair. The fragrance is subtle to moderate in strength, without being overpowering. I was excited to try the Nirvana Rose scent first, because I have not smelled it before. 

 

Kora Organics Noni Glow Face Oil, described as a luxurious, powerful yet delicate treatment oil for the face and neck. It has antioxidant and essential fatty acid rich oils to smooth, nourish and brighten the skin. Kora Organics is founded by Miranda Kerr.

 

Initial Review of the Kora Organics Noni Glow Face Oil: (added 5/11)

Spoiler

Initial thoughts on the Kora Organics Noni Glow Face Oil:

It has a sweet, yet pleasant fragrance I would describe as fruity/rose. The scent is quite strong and lingered on my skin for several hours after application. I have sensitive, combo skin with dry cheeks and an oily nose and forehead. On the box it says the oil is suitable for all skin types. My skin has not reacted or broken out, and the dryness in my cheeks already feels improved by the oil. Here is a photo of the ingredients for anyone curious about it. I will report back again in a few days as I continue to use the product.

 

 

The gift box was so beautifully presented, with everything individually wrapped, and even some chocolate! ❤

 

I will report back my thoughts as I try each product, and post swatches of the Nudestix pencils. 🙂

Thank you @k617 ❤ The necklace made the look 😄 

Re: Thank you Nudestix, Elizabeth and James, Kora, and Sephora!

@Mcakes You look incredible! Both you and V have sold me on the shade Sin! 😉

 

I hope nudestix comes out with a diverse set of colors with this formula because I prefer gel and cream based lipsticks over liquid/matte formulas.

 

That's a beautiful necklace @k617 made for you. 🙂

Re: Thank you Nudestix, Elizabeth and James, Kora, and Sephora!

*blushing* Thank you so much @trishavt!! 

 

I hope you love Sin as much as we do 😄 It's a standout formula for sure. 

 

 

Re: Thank you Nudestix, Elizabeth and James, Kora, and Sephora!

Gorgeous @Mcakes!!! Sin is a really beautiful colour on you! 💗

Re: Thank you Nudestix, Elizabeth and James, Kora, and Sephora!

Thank you @Asche ❤! It's definitely my favorite formula!

Re: Thank you Nudestix, Elizabeth and James, Kora, and Sephora!

You are so lovely @Mcakes! Sin looks great on you. #babe 😍

Re: Thank you Nudestix, Elizabeth and James, Kora, and Sephora!

You're too kind, thank you @angel7594!!! Such a compliment coming from a #babe such as yourself 😉 

Re: Thank you Nudestix, Elizabeth and James, Kora, and Sephora!

@Mcakes.  Smokin' !!!!! Heart

Re: Thank you Nudestix, Elizabeth and James, Kora, and Sephora!

Aww thanks @veronika23 

Re: Thank you Nudestix, Elizabeth and James, Kora, and Sephora!

Thank you Sephora and @KatieBT   for sending these my way!!! Sephora was unable to ship the Elizabeth and James dry shampoos so they sent the following products from the .CA site. 🙂

 

  • Skyn Iceland Plumping lip gel
  • Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited Sheer Shine Lipstick in Ambush Spirit
  • Laneige Lip and Eye Makeup Remover

 

Can’t wait to try these! I am super sensitive in the eye area and never deviate from my current eye makeup remover so I’ll be curious to know how this works. Equally curious to know if it will work as well as the Sepohra lip gel-oil remover... I think that product is gone now but it should have stayed.

Thank you again! 🙂  Reviews to follow!
