This was on par with some of the other moisturizers I have tried in the past. The scent wasn’t too strong, but it was a little sticky after application which I didn’t love if I tried to go sleep right afterwards. It didn’t break me out which was really positive as I have sensitive combo skin, but I’m not sure it did much to minimize my pores or reduce acne overall. The biggest thing though is that I don’t prefer to use two different moisturizers in a day so that’s the biggest downside so to this for me.

PanOxyl Oil Control Moisturizer

I was very excited to try a moisturizer that contains spf 30 for the first time and that would control oil on my face! Unfortunately it isn’t the right product for me as while it moisturized my face, it didn’t reduce or control the shine on my forehead which can be daunting. There was also a little bit of a white cast after application, though I did really appreciate it including spf 30 for someone like me who isn’t good at using sunscreen every day.

I don’t use exfoliants very often as they’re often very harsh for my sensitive combo skin. This product surprised me as it didn’t break me out further or cause any sensitivity issues. The scent is quite light and the product feels very light as well. At first I applied it straight with my hands, but found it easier with a thin cotton pad. I don’t think it did anything for my pores, but I do think it’s been helpful keeping my hormonal acne’s at bay.

I have hormonal acne and combo sensitive skin and am always on the lookout for good cleanser. This came just in time as my usual cleanser ran out and it was a pleasant surprise. The cream texture isn’t my favourite and the scent isn’t what I’m used to for cleansers. It felt good enough on my skin and didn’t irritate it more though and didn’t make me breakout further, which I’d count as a win in my book. Not sure it’s something I’d use everyday though as it is a little drying.

Mascara is one of the few makeup items I use on a regular basis, and this one did not disappoint. The packaging was simple and elegant, though a bit on the big side. There was no unpleasant scent and the applicator was very easy to use. I used two coats to get the maximum effect and also to eliminate any lumps (which were minimal to begin with). Even without curling my eyelashes beforehand, the mascara lifted my lashes. The mascara really made my eyes pop and stayed on for a long time with minimal smudging, even when my eyes watered due to the cold. It didn’t take much to be removed with makeup remover either. Overall, I am very pleased with this product. -

I don’t typically use perfume unless there’s an event, but when I do, I always look for ones that are easy to apply, are long lasting, and are not overwhelming. This Clean Reserve Golden Citrus perfume did not disappoint in terms of the packaging and ease of application. I love that it came in a long narrow tube that I can easily carry around with me without worrying about spillage or leaking overtime. It is the perfect travel size for someone like me that doesn’t use it very often, and will last me forever. It is so simple to use with the roller ball and allows for precise application on my neck, wrist and anywhere else I wanted to have a dab of scent. I tested it out for an event where I was really warm and a bit sweaty even at times, and found the scent to last without being overwhelming! The only downside for me, personally, is the scent is not my favourite. It’s really light and fresh, but a bit too light for me as I usually prefer something with a slight hint of sweetness.

This is the second Flawless product I have used and it did not disappoint! I don’t have a lot of facial hair so I am often too lazy to shave it with a razor. With the new Flawless Facial Hair Removal, I can now easily shave off any unwanted hair on my face in a few seconds and with no pain! It was a little difficult to open the case to install the battery and I had to check closely to make sure the head is installed back on after cleaning it with the brush because there’s a little nudge that keeps it closed properly. However, it was so simple to use. I just glide it on my face in small circles and voila, the hair was gone! There was no pain, only a bit of buzz, and my skin actually felt smooth afterwards. I can’t wait to bring this with me on vacations!

I received this #freeproduct in exchange for my honest opinions. I’ve always either left my pimples alone or use spot treatment. I tend to have hormonal break outs nowadays and the timing can be awful. This hero mighty patch is super convenient and super easy to use. I used two at night and in the morning, they were both still there even though I move a lot at night. Just overnight my pimple reduced in size significantly and I am very happily surprised. -

The first thing I noticed about this product is how beautiful and light the packaging was. It took a few initial pumps to get the first product out, but afterwards the serum came out super easy. You can clearly see the 3 serums before it gets mixed, which is really nice. 2-3 pumps were all I needed to apply to my face and neck with full coverage. It was super easy to apply and went on my skin without stickiness. There was a very floral scent initially but that didn’t linger on my skin. So far after a few uses, my skin is feeling very plump and hydrated. -

I was very excited to receive this sample pack to try as my skin is very dry during the winter. The description of cactus water made me very curious as I have never tried a product with this ingredient before.
The product was very cool to the touch, not too thick or sticky yet not too watery. I liked the consistency as it wasn’t sticking to my fingers or running down my hand like other products. It had a very refreshing scent to it that lingers quite a bit after application and cooled my skin almost instantly. My face didn’t feel oily after I used it, and it absorbed into my skin after a few minutes. I did find it a bit oily after the fact, especially on my fingers.
