Skin type: Combination/Sensitive
I bought this cleanser in a set including the Konjac Cleansing Puff and two rice sheet masks. I use this cleanser to wash my face in the morning and to remove my makeup at the end of the day.
You really only need to use a pea sized amount to clean your whole face. I use the Konjac Cleansing Puff with this cleanser, and honestly, when used together, the Cleansing Puff and the Cleanser leave my face brighter, squeaky clean and extremely soft and smooth. When I use this in the morning, I find that it evens out my skin tone and reduces the look of my pores (to the point where I don't need to apply foundation!) and keeps my face oil free for at least 5 hours. It doesn't dry my skin out either, which is amazing!
I have tried the Boscia Purifying Cleansing Gel and many drugstore cleansers (Neutrogena, Clean and Clear, St. Ives, etc.) and this is honestly the only cleanser that brightens, softens, mattifies, and deeply cleanses my skin without making me break out. I highly recommend!
P.S. The smell is lovely as well! A fresh, sweet scent.

Skin type: Combination/Sensitive
I used the Rice REAL NATURE Face Mask, and this was my first time trying out sheet masks! Upon opening the package, I notice that the mask was highly saturated with the mask "juice", so much so that it was lying in a puddle of it! This may be a drawback for customers wanting a mess-free experience but I found the extra product useful and worth my money, as I patted it into my skin after finishing the face mask.
The Rice Face Mask is said to offer an even, brightened complexion and to help fade age spots. I personally did not see much of a brightening effect, however, the mask definitely evened out my skin and made it very moisturized and plump!
The only major drawback for me personally was the size of the face mask. I found the sheet a little too big for my face and so the sides of the mask left product in my hairline and was a bit of a mess. That being said, it's better to have a mask too big than a mask too small!
Overall, the Rice Mask is great if your skin needs some extra hydration and a more "healthy" even toned complexion. I would probably repurchase this mask once I have tried all the other sheet masks that The Face Shop offers!
Happy with my purchase.

Skin type: Combination/Sensitive
I bought this scrub a few months ago and have been using it ever since. I will first start off by saying that I use this scrub on my body and ONLY on the parts of my face that need exfoliation. I never use this all over my face as that will damage the skin permanently (as other reviewers have said, it is quite a rough and harsh scrub).
For the body, this scrub is amazing. The scrub contains natural exfoliants like nut shells and tiny granules that are great for getting rid of the dead skin and helping the new, soft skin emerge. It gets the job done quickly. I particularly like using this on my legs before shaving to get a smooth surface to work with.
For the face, this scrub must be handled with care, and I advise to scrub VERY GENTLY in light circular motions. You absolutely must avoid the sensitive parts of your face, like your eye area and your smile lines. I like using the scrub on my forehead, chin, and nose, where dead skin tends to develop.
(For exfoliating on the entire face, I like using my Konjac Cleansing Puff from The Face Shop to gently scrub away the dead skin cells without causing abrasion.)
Overall, this scrub is great for the purpose for which I use it for: the body and specific areas of the face. It's affordable, and you get a generous amount of product in the packaging. However, if you are looking for an all-over face exfoliating product, this is not the best option.

Skin type: Combination/Sensitive
Shades: Classic Ivory (120), Natural Beige (220), Warm Nude (128)
This is a great foundation! It dries matte, has a medium coverage, and blends very well. It feels lightweight on the skin, and lasts between 4-6 hours. It hides my pores and creates a very smooth canvas for my blush, contour, and bronzer.
My gripe about this foundation is that it OXIDIZES. As you can see, I have tried many shades as all of them oxidize to a darker, more orange colour. I resort to mixing this foundation with a lighter colour to adapt to the colour change. If this foundation didn't oxidize, it would be perfect in my opinion!
As well, this foundation transfers slightly. If I go and hug a friend with a white shirt, there will definitely be a hint of foundation left behind.
I will repurchase, but it won't be a necessary purchase. There are better drugstore foundations!

Skin type: Combination/Sensitive
Shade: Fair
Honestly speaking, this product was disappointing! I looked through so many good reviews, but for my skin, it just didn't work out. On initial application, the colour was too pink to use for covering my blemishes, so I used it as an under eye concealer.
This product covered my dark circles well (medium coverage), but was SO CAKEY. It accentuates ANY dry patches you may have, so I recommend moisturizing well before hand (don't exfoliate around that eye area). It blended well and was build able, but it made my skin look very dry.
The lasting power of this was around 2 hours before it started to break up around my eye area (which is dry). Perhaps it just didn't work well with my skin, but I would much rather use the Fit Me concealer instead of this one!
Overall, would not repurchase, and would not recommend to those with combination skin.

It claims to be non greasy but I found it to leave a layer of film over my hands when I used it. I adore the small and portable packaging with the screw on lid and the size making it easy to throw into my backpack or purse when I’m going out. It hydrates my skin pretty well, but I prefer using the Nivea In-Shower body lotion if I know I’m going to be out all day. This is good for touch ups if you’re feeling a little dry while out, like any other regular moisturizer. It works on my sensitive skin, doesn’t break out my face when I use it (although it will make it greasy), and a little goes a pretty long way! Well worth it for the price. It has a fresh, clean scent that I don’t mind to much as well. Overall, an average product that is nice for travelling but there are better alternatives available. -

Received this product as a sample along with a $2 coupon and it is definitely a new and interesting idea. The product instructs you to apply the lotion on wet skin while in the shower and then to rinse off immediately. Initially, this rang strange to me as I doubted any product would be able to work THAT fast. But the results proved me wrong. This lotion kept me moisturized and smelling fresh all day, and that is remarkable as my skin gets dry quickly. It does cause your shower/bathtub to become extremely slippery, so make sure you scrub down the surfaces afterwards to prevent falling! I love the concept of moisturizing while in the shower, and I daresay that this method of moisturization lasts longer and works better than the typical lotions you apply to dry skin. Great product, and I will definitely buy the full size. -

I have this lipstick in the shade Whipped Caviar, and it is the perfect MLBB shade. The lipstick itself is very pigmented and smooth in application. I love the bullet shape and packaging, which allows you to see the shade of the lipstick from outside the packaging. It is not overly drying, in fact, I would argue it is slightly moisturizing. If there is a problem with dryness, just add a lip balm underneath (I use the EOS lip balms sometimes)! The wear of this lipstick is incredibly, and I would say it lasts about 5-6 hours on me before starting to fade. It is the perfect size and shape to travel with and whip out when you need a little bit of colour added to your face. These are super affordable and definitely my favourite drugstore lipstick. And who doesn’t love a cruelty-free brand? -

THIS EYELINER IS A HOLY GRAIL. If you have hooded, oily eyelids like me you need this eyeliner in your life. It is the perfect dupe for Kat Von D’s Tattoo Liner in Trooper at a fraction of the price ($2.99)! It is definitely not waterproof but as long as you do not constantly rub your eyes, this eyeliner will stay on until you want to take it off. It took me a while exploring different eyeliners to see which ones would smudge and run on me and my search is done. This eyeliner is the best one I have tried. The sharp, precise end allows for maximum control of your line/wing and this is perfect for beginners. I have had mine for 5 months now and it has not dried out yet! It is extremely pigmented, and I can’t recommend it enough! -

I recently wrote a review on the Visibly Soft Vanilla Mint EOS lip balm, and I mentioned the similarities between it and the normal EOS lip balm flavours like this one, so I will post my review here as well as I don't see any differences apart from the smell and packaging. I bought this product to see what the hype was all about, and I was pleasantly surprised. The hydration you get from the EOS lip balm is exceptional, and my lips are immediately moisturized for 3-4 hours after initially applying the balm. The smell of the EOS lip balms are quite nice and I love the fruity scent. My lips are always soft and smooth whenever I use this lip balm, and I use it alone and under lipstick and it works wonderfully for both purposes. The egg shaped packaging is cute and fun to throw into my purse when I’m out, although it does take up more space than the typical lip balm but that’s not a big deal. I don’t notice the difference between Visibly Soft and the normal EOS lip balms (ex: Pomegranate Raspberry) on my lips, they all work just as well. -
