I always feel so fortunate that I receive PR just for blogging about skincare and makeup. It takes a lot of effort to keep a blog and Instagram page active, and it wouldn't be possible without having products to talk about.
A huge thank you to all of the brands that sent me products to review in June. I appreciate every single one of you, and I especially appreciate the brands that reached out to me directly.
If you are new to blogging, please feel free to use any of the platforms I mention in this post. You can also monetize your blog with Skimlinks, one of my favorite monetization platforms.
Okay, let's get to the products...
>>PR Haul<<
1. EMK Beverly Hills Supra Face Cream- sent to be by the brand via Beauty Clout to review on Instagram. This cream ended up being a lovely daytime cream, but I'm not sure if I would purchase it with my own money. The packaging could have been nicer for the price tag ($121), but that's just a minor annoyance. If you have mature skin, you may enjoy this cream a lot. It definitely helped with my fine lines and made my skin look more youthful.
2. Collagenil PR Package- The brand sent me this fantastic PR packaged filled with full-sized products. I was sent their cleansing cream, two serums (Liftensive Perfect Serum, Bio Longevity Serum), and two moisturizers (Re-Pulp 3D, Liftensive 24H). I have been using the cleanser and serums for a while now, and they are fantastic! I haven't tried the creams, but I'm excited to test them out after loving everything else. Just FYI, they are currently having a sale on their entire site!
3. Linkit 20oz Tumbler- Don't judge me, but I needed a new coffee tumbler and this one came with two metal straws! The brand sent me this tumbler via Tomoson. I absolutely love this tumbler. It is a perfect size, keeps my cold drinks cold and my hot drinks hot, comes with two metal straws, and the lid is amazing. I am honestly obsessed with this cup!
4. 2NDesign PR Package- The brand reached out to me and sent me three products to review. They sent over a cleansing oil (which I love), a lip balm (which I love), and a peeling gel (which I didn't test out yet). All three have the sleekest packaging, and I am loving the brand in general. I'm so happy that the brand reached out to me and sent these over! I love that the brand is super affordable and available through YesStyle.
5. sevendrops Immortelle Revital & Radiance Serum- The brand reached out to me and sent me this product to review on Instagram. I still haven't tried this serum yet, but I'm excited to give it a go. This serum is supposed to be amazing, but the packaging is pretty cheap looking/feeling. I'm hoping that the product itself will blow me away and then I can recommend it to my followers, but we will see how it goes.
6. Piper Wai PR Package- The brand reached out to me and sent me these products to review on my blog. They were kind enough to send over their unscented deodorant stick, a toilet spray (think Poupouri), and a hydrating hand sanitizer. This was my first natural deodorant, and I have to say that I was very impressed. I was expecting to sweat throughout the day, but this charcoal-based deodorant kept my pits happy all day long. The best part was that my skin didn't get irritated like it normally does with regular deodorant! Win!
7. Merci Handy Love & Hand Cream- The brand sent me this hand cream via Octoly. I am so obsessed with this hand cream. I got the Flower Power version. It smells A-mazing and thoroughly hydrates my hands. The tube is tiny and very expensive, but it is definitely worth it if you need a great hand cream.
8. John Frieda PR Package- The brand sent me these products via Octoly. I was so excited to try the Sheer Blonde Go Blonder line. I dye my hair blonde, and this set helped keep my hair shiny, hydrated, and glossy. It also helped with brassiness! I have been using the Sheer Blonde line since I started dying my hair in high school, and it is still one of my favorites.
9. Wishtrend PR Package- As a Wishtrend Affiliate, I get sent products to review. If you want to apply to become a Wishtrend Affiliate and get free products for your blog, you can use this link. In June they sent over the Rovectin Clean LHA Blemish Ampoule, Rovectin Skin Essentials Aqua Soothing UV Protector, and the Klairs Fundamental Water Gel Cream. All three of these products are absolutely amazing, and I already emptied the ampoule!
10. Wishtrend PR Package- Again, as a Wishtrend Affiliate, I get sent products to review. If you want to apply to become a Wishtrend Affiliate and get free products for your blog, you can use this link. At the end of the month, they also sent over the Rovectin Cica Care Balm, Rovectin Cica Care Purifying Toner, and a box of 5 Rovectin Dr. Mask Cica A.C. Sheet Masks. So far I'm loving the moisurizer and the sheet masks. I haven't tried the toner yet, but the ingredients look promising.
11. No7 Advanced Retinol 1.5% Complex- I was sent this retinol cream through Octoly. I have been using this retinol serum for over a month and I am loving it! I had a pretty deep wrinkle between my brows and this serum softened the line so much! It is a pretty strong retinol, but not as strong as a perscription. I highly recommend applying the serum on top of a moistuirzer to minimize irritation.
12. Vivienne Sabo Paris PR Package- This French brand reached out to me and wanted to send me a July 4th PR Package. They sent over the Cabaret Premiere Mascara and Matte Constance Liquid Matte Lipstick Duo (shades 33 and 34). I love both of these products! I have been using the mascara daily and the lippies feel so comfortable. They are truely classic French Girl makeup essentials!
>>Final Thoughts<<
I was sent quite a lot in June. The number of products I get each month varies dramatically, but it is always appreciated.
Since I am posting this PR Haul months after receiving the products, I was actually able to give you some first impressions. I usually post these hauls at the beginning of the Month, so I don't usually give so many details.
I was sent a total of 28 products, and that's a lot for one month. I will be posting individual reviews for all of the beauty products that I mentioned in this post, so stay tuned!
