I'm not all about this whole 'New Year, time to get healthy' vibe that I'm getting from this bag.

 

Also, no, sweating is not a way to glow. I hate sweating.

Info sheet.

AMOREPACIFIC Color Control Cushion Compact ($5.71) - Neither shade (104 & 106) are my shades so I passed it to my mom. I do really like cushion foundations so I'm considering picking this up if I can try it out in store and see if the lightest shade matches. 

OUAI Treatment Mask ($6.67) - I do enjoy a good hair mask. My hair has been drier and drier so anything to add a bit of moisture will always be accepted and used graciously. The more I use it, the less my hair feels like straw and I love it!

FRXXXTION Stick ($10.00) - Tarte's new gel cleanser that's in a strange stick form. It exfoliates, cleanses, and is a face mask all in one. A little weird, too many things going on at once, and not really my favorite thing. I prefer to do things separately because I don't use exfoliators frequently so this is a little too multi-function.

Tory Burch Love Relentlessly (Sample) - Another floral perfume, just a bit deeper. It's just not my thing, I've never been a fan of floral scents. Instant pass.

Age Prevention Superfood Cream ($12.00) - I don't use products with hyaluronic acid so this was a pass. I'm sure it's good but my skin dries out so easily and I've found products with hyaluronic acid cause more issues than it solves. My skin has been going through a weird phase right now so hopefully, in the future,  I'll be able to use these types of products!

Clinique Almost Lipstick (Black Honey) ($8.50) - I wish I had liked this color, but I just didn't. It feels nice on but it's not enough of a pop of color to like it but it's too deep of a shade that the tint part just doesn't work for me. It just looked like my lips were dirty.

This bag was valued at $42.88, an excellent value for the cost. The items, though, weren't a hit at all and my mother ended up with the majority of the bag. 

As always, let me know what you thought of this bag in the comments!
