Moody Sisters Skincare Dry Powder Shampoo & Eye Makeup Remover - pics, reviews

Hello, Beautiful!

I recently tried out a couple products from the brand Moody Sisters Organic Skincare. I loved their Mocha Bean Lip Balm! In this post I'll show you two more products from their line: their Dry Powder Shampoo (which is vegan) and their Natural Eye Makeup Remover. Check out of my full review on each product, including all the product info, after each set of pics!

Dry Powder Shampoo








Moody Sisters Organic Skincare Dry Powder Shampoo Info & Review:
Cost/Availability: $10.95 (2 oz jar full size & puff). Available on the Moody Sisters Organic Skincare website or their Esty shop.
My Rating: 3 out of 5 Kisses

The Moody Sisters Organic Skincare Dry Powder Shampoo will instantly absorb oil. Your scalp will feel and look fresh and clean. Does NOT contain chemicals, dyes, fragrances, parabens or sulfates. 

Use the included puff and dip into the powder. Tap off the excess into the lid of the tin. Apply a small amount, as needed, with the puff. Then massage into your scalp with your fingers (or a towel) to absorb oil. Brush out when finished.

This dry shampoo comes in a round tin container, which is a bit messy but is workable. I much prefer a dry shampoo that sprays out, or if it is a powder formula, one I could sprinkle out of a bottle. The applicator, a puff, is also a bit odd to use - but it works to apply the product.

I'm not good at describing the scent,  but I wrote down it had an organic-fresh scent; maybe a bit lemon? Not really sure, but it was an okay scent to me. Nothing that was bothersome and nothing that was amazing. 

It does work to absorb excess oil, and it adds a little volume (as most dry shampoos do). If you have dark hair, like I do, some of the product can look noticeable in your hair. So I'd recommend using sparingly and really work it in and really comb it out if you have darker hair.

I think this is a nice, natural dry shampoo option that a lot of people will like, but for me it just wasn't my cup of tea; I love that it's natural and it works, but for me the packaging wasn't my style and the fact it can be noticeable in my hair - although I have that problem with a lot of dry shampoos, as most anyone with dark hair will have that problem with dry shampoos too. If you are looking for a natural dry shampoo option then I'd recommend checking this out.

Eye Makeup Remover
 

Moody Sisters Organic Skincare Eye Makeup Remover Info & Review:
Cost/Availability: $10.75 (4 fl oz full size). Available on the Moody Sisters Organic Skincare website or their Esty shop.
My Rating: 5 out of 5 Kisses!

The Moody Sisters Organic Skincare natural Eye Makeup Remover gently removes eyeliner, mascara and eye shadow around your eye area without having to worry about harsh chemicals.

Shake the bottle well before each use, and then soak a cotton ball (or washcloth) and hold it on your eye for a few seconds before wiping away.

One con that I want to point out is the packaging. It is in a metal bottle with a pop-top, but the eye makeup remover doesn't flow out the top and you can't squeeze the bottle, so you end up un-screwing the top and soaking a cotton ball - which is fine, I don't mind, but wish it was different packaging. I also like to see through my bottles of eye makeup remover so I know how much is left. Wish they would re-consider the packaging, but this is still a really great eye makeup remover!

I really liked this eye makeup remover. It effectively removed all my eye makeup, even my hard-to-remove waterproof eye makeup. It wasn't harsh or irritating around my eyes (no sting), there was no noticeable scent, and it got the job done. I even used this to take off eye makeup that another eye makeup remover would not remove. This took it off in seconds! Love this stuff, wish the packaging was different, but I'd still recommend!

My Rating: 4 out of 5 Kisses

Jordana Metal Rocks Retractable Eye Liner Review:
These eye liners are retractable, so you never need to find a sharpener, and have a creamy texture. They glide on very smooth with nice pigmentation. They aren't the most pigmented liners, but they're pretty damn good - especially considering the low price point of just $2.99 each.

They have average to above average wear; On me, they lasted all day without issues but I've read other people thought they faded over the day. Still, just apply over a primer if you're worried.

I love the metallic finish these liners have, and the colors are really pretty. Paradise Blue is my favorite!

Overall, I liked these a lot and think they are an affordable way to try metallic colorful liners.

Jordana Eye Makeup Remover Review:
A dual-phase liquid activates when shaken to gently and effectively remove waterproof mascara and eye makeup without any tugging or pulling. Silicone, oil, and fragrance free.

I really liked this eye makeup remover; it's affordable and very effective. Easily removes my eye makeup and doesn't leave behind an oily residue or dry out my eyes.

I would absolutely recommend this!

Hello, Beautiful!

In this post I'll share with you two products from the Cailyn Cosmetics brand. One is their Eye/Lip Remover - which is a really nice makeup remover. The other is their Makeup Bag, which I actually really like. It's simple and classic looking, as well as large enough to toss in products to take with me in my purse.

Cailyn Cosmetics Review:
This makeup bag is nice quality and has a classic look. Small enough to fit into your purse, large enough to fit a good assortment of makeup and supplies.

There are three makeup bag choices available, I have the white bag, option A. I like that one the best out of all three.

Overall, a great makeup bag that I'd recommend!

Formula: liquid

Packaging: rounded bottle with pump-top applicator
My Rating: 4 out of 5 Kisses

Cailyn Cosmetics Eye/Lip Remover Review:
I really like this eye and lip makeup remover, and I would have given it 5 out of 5 Kisses if it weren't for the pump-top applicator. It's a messy application, as even when you pump directly into a cotton pad it may still splash out everywhere. I think they should get rid of the pump-top and just leave it as an open bottle top, like most removers, so it's less messy to apply. That's my only complaint on this.

Besides that, it actually removes makeup really nicely - especially stubborn waterproof/long-wear formulas. It's one of my favorites to use now, as it does a really thorough job at removing makeup. Yes, I'd recommend!
