REVEALU Gold Face and Body Gel Moisturizer, 94 ml - Retail Value $9.99
I’ve been a fan of gel moisturizers for a while now, and RevealU’s Gold Face and Body Gel Moisturizer has been a delightful addition to my skincare routine. The unique, oxygen-activated formula infused with 24k gold flakes not only revitalizes my skin but also brings a feeling of luxury. Its lightweight texture is perfect for warmer days, providing a fresh burst of hydration without leaving behind a sticky or greasy residue. I particularly love how quickly it absorbs, making it the perfect finale to my multi-step skincare lineup. The blend of zinc, copper, and magnesium offers notable anti-aging benefits, while the formula is gentle enough even for sensitive skin conditions like eczema, rosacea, and acne. This moisturizer really stands out for its effectiveness and soothing quality, making it a solid option for those looking to potentially rejuvenate any problem areas.
REVEALU Glow Face and Body Exfoliator, 94 ml - Retail Value $9.99
Here we have another truly luscious product from RevealU. The Glow Face and Body Exfoliator is one of my new favorite products. Firstly, I appreciate the generous sizing of this, but what really sets this exfoliator apart is its multifaceted usage. The unique formula not only provides exfoliation but also addresses pigmentation concerns with consistent use. If you’re looking to brighten your skin, the brand recommends leaving the product on for 5-10 minutes and then rinsing off, using it as a mask. For a deeper exfoliation, I let the gel dry down for 5-10 minutes before massaging it in and then rinsing off, which leaves my skin feeling incredibly smooth. This also works wonders as a pre-shave exfoliator, making my shaving routine easier by softening the hair for a cleaner shave. I have to say, it’s not often that I find a product that works on my body equally as well as it works for my face, mostly due to my sensitive skin, but this product hasn’t ceased to impress me so far.
KREIZI BEAUTY Liquid Eyeliner Pen, 0.8 g - Retail Value $12.00
This Liquid Eyeliner Pen from Kreizi Beauty has reignited my enjoyment of eyeliner once again. First off, its ultra-fine, felt-tip applicator is a dream for creating everything from a subtle flick to a dramatic winged look. The precision I can achieve with this eyeliner is unmatched. The formula itself is a standout; it glides on my eyelids effortlessly, without any pulling or tugging, which is a relief for my delicate eyelids. What really seals the deal for me is this eyeliner’s smudge-proof formula. Once this eyeliner dries down, it stays put, promising and delivering on all-day wear. It also dries down quickly, so no more awkward moments waiting for my eyeliner to set. Now, one thing I did notice… The eyeliner doesn’t seem to have the best waterproof capabilities; in fact, when it was time to remove it, the product washed right off. So, with that in mind, I’d say that this eyeliner might not be the best choice for hot summer days, but all in all, it’s a solid product.
Here is a swatch of the Kreizi Beauty Liquid Eyeliner Pen.
PALMER’S Amino Bonding Complex Hair Oil, 118 ml - Retail Value $12.99
With my kind of hair, I will always be in need of a good hair oil, so this inclusion is a win for me. I’ve had a generally good experience with many of Palmer’s products, and this one is no exception. Despite my usual aversion to fragrances, the sweet, nutty aroma of this hair oil is pleasantly subtle and not at all a dealbreaker. It’s easy to apply, spreading evenly through my hair and absorbing quickly without any greasy residue. I love how it smooths down any split ends and tames frizz and flyaways, leaving my curls looking more defined rather than weighed down. The end result is silky, soft hair that feels nourished and healthy. Definitely a solid product I’ll be using regularly.
PH-D FEMININE HEALTH Women’s Health Probiotic, 30-pc - Retail Value $25.99
I’m genuinely impressed with these Women’s Health Probiotic capsules. As a fan of PH-D Feminine Health’s trusted solutions, finding their probiotic supplement in this month’s product assortment was a pleasant surprise. These capsules are expertly formulated with both probiotics and prebiotics, enhancing not only digestion and immune function but also overall feminine health. The addition of cranberry extract, rich in Vitamin C, is a thoughtful touch, supporting bladder and urinary tract health effectively. I’ve found these capsules easy to incorporate into my daily routine, thanks to their ability to be taken with or without food. Plus, their gentle formulation ensures no irritation even for someone like me with a sensitive stomach. Just don’t forget to pop the bottle in the fridge after opening as per the directions.
DAILY CONCEPTS Makeup Remover Pads, 2-pc - Retail Value $5.00
As a huge supporter of sustainable products, these Daily Concepts Makeup Remover Pads are an absolute win for me. These sleek, reusable pads make it easy to be eco-friendly even when I’m traveling light. Their durability is impressive; they can withstand everyday use and are even machine washable, which adds to their convenience. I love pairing these with micellar water, creating the perfect duo for effortless makeup removal, including stubborn waterproof mascara and eyeliner (and without any irritation afterward). One of these handy pads lives in my ‘go bag,’ and the fact that they can be reused over and over again makes them incredibly valuable, far beyond their cost. Sustainable and practical!
Verdict
This was a great month for Cocotique! The highlight for me was definitely the surprise of not one but two RevealU products (moisturizer and exfoliator), both of which have become an important step in my skincare routine. Palmer’s hair oil is something I’ll be using on a daily basis, and it does an excellent job of smoothing down any frizz without weighing down my curls. The reusable makeup remover pads from Daily Concepts is another win, especially when it comes to travel. All-in-one sustainability and functionality. I appreciate the unique inclusion of PH-D Feminine Health’s probiotic capsules (remember to refrigerate). Lastly, Kreizi Beauty’s eyeliner pen performs well, thanks to its precision felt-tip point, but the waterproofing functionality could be enhanced. Overall, I thought this was an awesome box with a varied selection of products, from skincare to haircare to personal care, and the value is there.
