GLAM Spring Beauty Board

As a part of the GLAM Beauty Board, I got the chance to test a few of the newest and best beauty items that are sure to revamp your makeup bag for the new season. Below are all of the products that I received, and those marked with an asterisk (*) are my favorites of the bunch, and I you can check out my full review of those products as well.

1.  Benefit Fine-One-One, $30 - This sheer 3-in-1 blush, bronzer and highlighter is gorgeous in person. It gives that "glow from within" look that I love, and it'll be in my arsenal for Spring and Summer!
2.  Gillette + Olay Razors in Sugarberry, $11 - Nothing is worse than dry skin after you shave, but these have Olay moisture bars that seal in moisture. My skin was not irritated at all after use.
3.  EOS Ultra Moisturizing Shave Cream, $5 - Absolutely amazing when used with the Gillette razors. My legs were super soft and moisturized after use.
4.  Kenzo Amour I Love You, $57 - The perfect Spring/Summer scent. Bonus: my boyfriend loves it on me!
5.  Alessandro Coco Mango Nail Cream, $25 - I love using this for my at-home manis, no more dry cuticles for me!
8.  Biolage ExquisiteOil Replenishing Treatment, $20 - I use this overnight in my natural hair, and as a hot oil treatment after conditioning. The scent is so addictive, and a little goes a long way.
10. Burt's Bees Lip Gloss in Rosy Dawn, $9 - A pretty neutral pink color for the season, and it feels more like a lip conditioner than a gloss. 
11. First Aid Beauty Ultra Skin Repair Cream, $26 - Probably one of the most effective moisturizers I've ever tried, I use this at night after a bath. My skin literally drink in this cream, and is still soft the next morning.

Estee Lauder Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Volume Mascara

When I received my January Glossybox (see review here), this Sumptous Lash mascara from Estee Lauder was the product I was most excited to try. I haven't strayed from my beloved Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes mascara and the Clump Crusher from CoverGirl, but I've been wanting to try a higher end mascara for a while. Aside from the beautiful packaging, this mascara is wonderful. The brush is on the larger size, and does a good job at really distributing the product to my tiny corner lashes. The formula is wetter than I prefer, but the volume I get from two coats more than makes up for it. I'm more of a stickler for volume than length, and I can really add several coats without clumping. It does sting horribly if you get even a little in your eyes, but again a minor flaw. I'll definitely purchase this in the full-size when this sample dries out.
