NARS
Lip Gloss in Priscilla
I love the new NARS lip gloss formula! It's non-sticky, long-wearing, and spreads very easily. This Priscilla shade is a shocking pink that really pops and brightens up the face nicely!I have a review of Orgasm here.
Full-sized purchase?
Definitely!
Urban Decay
B6 Vitamin-Infused Complexion Prep Spray
I spray this mist all over my face before I put on my makeup to refresh my skin. It offers a cooling effect upon contact (due to alcohol content). I didn't really notice the reduction in oil production, though.

Jack Black
Industrial Strength Hand Healer
This is the only hand cream I am using right now. The texture is rich but absorbs really quickly. It keeps my hands so soft and hydrated for hours. I love its fresh eucalyptus smell so much — very refreshing and clean!

Already have!

I like Jack Black! I tried the UD spray and I didn’t like it. All the ingredients on the back do the exact opposite of what the front label says (although the alcohol part is supposed to dry the oil, sure, but being 2nd in the list, it doesn’t moisturize or whatever UD claimed the bottle is supposed to do). Just a handful of irritants in a little spray bottle. None for me! http://www.paulaschoice.com/beautypedia-skin-care-reviews/by-brand/urban-decay/_/B6-Vitamin-Infused-Complexion-Prep-Spray
That’s what I heard also about the alcohol being the second ingredient on the list! But it’s refreshing, though! Haha. It doesn’t really do anything much for me but then again I don’t use it every day, so I can’t say if it would improve the texture of my skin over time or not.
Priscilla is on my swatch list!
Yay! Let me know if you like it! (I have a feeling you will!)
This series is sooo adorable!!! :-) I’m not a huge fan of lipglosses but I’m really interested in trying the Priscilla lipgloss from Nars.
Should have used the code for a free mini with your orders! ;D
Priscilla is such a pretty hot pink. I love the mini sized makeup too Jaa
Aren’t they the CUTEST!!! :D :D :D
I love the idea of a mini series, Jaa!
Must try the hand cream – I abhor sticky ones. I feel like I can’t do anything with my hands!
Thanks, Kira! I will definitely keep the series going! I can’t stand sticky hand creams, either!
Ooh, love this series idea! :-D I wish we got minis/samples with our purchases here, would be so awesome (and help one feel better about the NZ prices, LOL!). I shall live vicariously through you!
I have the Vitamin B prep spray thing as a deluxe sample form a UD order too, but I haven’t tried it yet! I’ve been kind of dubious about spraying my face with alcohol, because my skin is already dry, but mostly it’s due to laziness in trying ‘complexion’ things, because I don’t wear face makeup every day! :-P #bloggerfail
Minis are the best. I wish all makeup companies would make the mini version of every product they sell! LOL. I don’t use a makeup setting spray on a regular basis, either, only when I know I will be out for long hours!
I like this new series Jaa. I have quite few of gifts with purchase. Some of them are so impressive I went and bought the full size and some are just ok and I am glad I didn’t waste my money. It will be so good to read what you will/will not repurchase from the mini sizes:)
By the way the Nars lip gloss looks so cute x
True! Just like the Jack Black hand cream, I loved it so much I had to buy the full size! I’ll definitely keep this series running for sure! It’s my excuse to take more product photos haha! ^_^
Ooh! Love this new segment/series.
Yayy! <3
Love the idea of this new series, Jaa! Also loving NARS lipgloss here — in fact, I loved it so much that I purchased a full-size gloss this weekend!
Wow! Did you use up the mini size already?? 8-O How long did it last??
Omg Priscilla is sooo pretty ! It’s a irresistible pink !
I know right?!! It goes on completely nice, too! I’m in love. ^_^
Nars lipgloss looks interesting
The new formula is pretty amazing! Have you tried?
I only have two make-up minis, now that I think about it! Two lip glosses from Glominerals. I like the idea of make-up minis though. I never use up my make-up anyway.
Hey Melissa! It is the best feeling in the world to empty a makeup product! OK, maybe not the best, but close. Haha. I have never used anything from Glominerals, must look it up!
Cute! Great post idea. :) I have a love/hate with minis. Love receiving them but tend to forget about them and give them away later on. I do wish every brand would sell travel sizes of their products because some things just never get finished.
Thanks, Liz! Me too! I wish for every makeup item there is a mini version of it! That would be so cool! :D
Hi Jaa! May I just say that I LOVE your blog! The pictures are out of this world and I love how in depth the reviews are.
I know this is an old review, but did you see any results with the Urban Decay spray? I got mine free from a friend and have been using it for about a month. I haven’t really seen any improvements, but I love the way it feels!
Hi Alessandra! Thank you so much! You’re too kind! :)
I don’t remember seeing any improvements, either. It just feels nice and refreshing when you put it on and that’s about it. LOL. It comes in handy, though, like when you want to damp your brush for example. :)
