NIVEA IN-SHOWER BODY LOTION- $2.49So I walked into this product with no expectations. I was excited to try the in-shower body lotion because I love anything that saves me time. If this product meant I could skip the after shower moisturizing step then I was all in. Pros: My skin was super soft after using this product. I have pretty dry skin so the fact that the moisture seemed to last for a few days was incredibly impressive. Cons: This product did not saves me time. The in-shower lotion had so much potential but when I read that I had to rinse my tub with hot water to remove the residue and prevent slipping I was just about ready to throw the bottle out. When I used it, I felt the residue on the tub. What's worse is I felt the same residue on my hands and I couldn't get rid of it. Overall: The amount of time I spent rinsing the tub and washing my hands ended up taking longer than if I had just done my post shower moisturizing. I do not recommend this product. NYAKIO KENYAN COFFEE FACE POLISH- $32Fun Fact: I LOVE coffee but had to give it up a few years ago so now I live for a coffee skin product
Pros: When I washed off the scrub it felt like someone had opened my pores and breathed new life into them. Cons: I could feel the beads exfoliating my face but once I rinsed the scrub off my skin didn't feel any more smooth then before. Overall: I don't believe this product is worth the price, if it was $5 then I may incorporate it into my routine.

So a quick update on the dry shampoo and nail masques. It has been 3 days now and my cuticles are still so healthy! I take back what I said, I would 100% purchase the 7th Heaven Strengthen Nail & Cuticle Finger Masques if I could get to a Walmart. As for the Eva NYC Freshen Up Dry Shampoo, it is a winner. The morning after I applied it I was greeted with a heavenly sent and hair that could keep on going. You can pick up a bottle here. RIMMEL SCANDALEYES MICRO LIQUID EYELINER- $5.99 *Once again I got this from Influenster ( see here) for free to test and review Background So I was pretty excited to tryout this liquid eyeliner. I mean two of Rimmel's ambassadors are Kate Moss and Cara Delevingne, so it had to be good right? We all know people sign onto these things because they are passionate about the product not just the money they will make. It is obvious Kendall Jenner was so blinded by her love of Pepsi that she totally misjudged how appropriated the commercial plot line was. Tangent: I love Kendall Jenner. I thing she is absolutely gorgeous and I love how much she has not turned into a completely different looking person since her childhood. I am not a Kardashian follower but I do follow Kendall. Back on Topic: I will preface my review by acknowledging that I am not some make-up magician and it routinely takes me a couple of tries to get things right. Pros: I love that this liquid eyeliner has more of a marker tip than a paint brush tip. It felt like I had a huge amount of control. The pigment glides on very smoothly and dries fast. Additionally the physical pen part that you hold onto had a great diameter. I feel like no one ever thinks about this but if its too small or too big the pen can be hard to maintain control of; this was Goldilocks, just right. Cons: The pigment, although black, is not very dark so I had to go over it many times. Unfortunately, the need to repeat my motions exponentially increased the chance that I was going to make a mistake. I also found that if the previous layer hadn't dried, then I ended up taking it off on my next pass. What was the most frustrating, however, is that the packaging states "smudge proof" and it most certainly was not. I was getting black on my fingers and all over my face throughout the day. Overall: I would use this again. I really like the control that I had over the tool and as long as I remember not to touch my face, smudging isn't an issue. This would definitely be good for a night out as the eyeliner seemed to stay put as I sweated. You can purchase it here. RIMMEL OH MY GLOSS! OIL TINT - $5.47So like I explained above, obviously high expectations due to the selection of brand ambassadors. Pros: This lip gloss glides on super smooth and doesn't feel sticky. I usually avoid glosses because of the sticky feeling and then my hair and pollen and whatever else is flying through the wind gets caught in it. But that didn't happen with this gloss! I also really like that the gloss is relatively transparent. The shade I got was 600-Orange Mode and the slight orange tint really enhanced my natural lip color. My lips also feel like they have been plumped up with loads of moisture. Cons: The gloss leaves behind a really shiny sheen and its simply not my style Overall: I probably wouldn't purchase this product because its not my style but I highly recommend it for anyone who does appreciate a shiny lip quality. You can get it here. Thanks for stopping by and reading Part 2 of my reviews. Part 3, the final part, will be coming shortly!
