Cleen Beauty Grapefruit Water Gel

This brand is new to Walmart and exclusive to Walmart. It's a clean beauty brand aptly called "Cleen Beauty". Their water gel cream is lightweight and smells like grapefruit. It's a decent size at 2 oz for $9.97. The gel absorbs quickly and the scent dissipates quickly as well. This product is pretty good, I would likely purchase again.

Glow Recipe Pineapple C Bright Serum

This product launched awhile back, but I finally got a chance to try it. It is a pineapple based vitamin C serum. It contains 3 forms of vitamin C! The serum smells strongly of pineapple - kind of like the syrup you get with pineapple slices. It is a little sticky and leaves a sheen on your skin.

Inuwet Strawberry Lip Balm
Inuwet Strawberry Lip Balm

Inuwet is a French vegan brand retailing at Ulta. This particular bunny balm is part of the Paris balm duo. All their balms feature various fruity flavors and bunny characters. The balm itself is a white stick that applies clear. It has a strong strawberry candy scent - very artificial. The balm smooths on easily and is really moisturizing. Lasting power is okay. The products are made in France and best of all, vegan.

Malin + Goetz SPF 30 Face Moisturizer

This has been my daily moisturizer and SPF for the last few weeks. This contains shea butter so it is pretty hydrating. It's broad spectrum SPF 30 and the tube says it's water resistant up to 30 minutes. The sunscreen in this uses chemical filters for protection. I like this product a lot especially because it does not cause any of the other products applied underneath to pill.
