I owned and tried every at home hair removal method including an epilator, trimmer, wax beads and warmer, wax strips, razor and even a facial hair remover device.
So imagine my delight when I discovered that this @philips Epilator Series 8000 is a 3-in-1 device. It can epilate, shave and trim. Moreover, it comes with different attachments for different functions and areas of body. You can even use it on the face with the delicate cap 👀
I’m not gonna lie and say it’s not painful but it’s more comfortable and gentler than others I’ve tried. It can easily pull out most hair except the really tiny ones.
Epilators are a great one time investment for effective hair removal. In the long run, it also turns out to be one of the cheapest methods. Although it’s a painful method, the results are absolutely worth it to me!

This lip balm smells delicious, just like a candy! 🤤
Formulated with Shea butter & Maracuja oil, it is deeply moisturizing. I LOVE the sheer & natural flush of colour it leaves. Even though it’s a lip balm, the finish is shiny like a lip oil.
All the shades are beautiful and sheer hence the colours will work for almost every skin tone.
My favourite shade is 1B Pink Sunrise, it’s the perfect translucent pink lip balm🍧

I was initially worried about how neon the blots looked but was instantly surprised after blending it. It blended into my skin like butter and turned into the most beautiful & natural peachy tone (perfect sun kissed hue). I love that it works on bare skin with no foundation. It also stayed for more than 12 hours while I was outdoors the entire time. This might be the best introduction to peachy blushes for me 🫶🏻 -

This setting spray made my eye makeup and blush stay on for hours which is a miracle 😆 My makeup didn’t budge for hours even through the summer heat and sweat!
The first few sprays were a bit heavy but once I figured out the safe distance and pressure on the nozzle, it was a breeze.
Without the spray, my eyeliner would’ve vanished with the amount of swiping I did in the video.

Is it a lip gloss or is it a lip oil? Well, it’s both and I’m in love with it.
This lip gloss contains 15% Squalene which hydrates and moisturizes the lips most of the day while also providing glass like shine. It does not feel goopy or sticky rather it has a thin oil like coat on the lips. I got the shade 01 Clear Shine which is transparent so it’s perfect to glossify any matte lipstick/liptint.
The applicator is soft and comfortable to use too.

After trying out this popular Face Bond Foundation from Urban Decay, I have mixed feelings.
Pros:
- This foundation has one of the lightest textures I’ve ever used, almost like a serum that disappears into skin. Im a big fan of how weightless it felt on my skin as if I wasn’t wearing any makeup. A little goes a long way.
- It’s a self setting formula which feels like magic to me. It really feels like I applied powder on my face but I didn’t.
- The finish is matte with medium coverage
- It lasted a pretty long time and looked better and skin-like after a few hours of soaking in oils from the skin.
- The shade range is pretty good and the shade I used was a very close match for me.
Cons:
- The bottle tip is unique but it automatically pushed out a lot of product when I first opened it (I couldn’t stop it, it felt like a waste of a lot of foundation)
- It dries down very quickly so you have to work in small sections
- It emphasizes fine lines / skin texture especially dry patches around my mouth and nose so make sure to properly hydrate and prep skin beforehand. This is not the best choice if you have dry skin
- It’s difficult to layer other cream products on top because the foundation wipes away.

This is a very lightweight but moisturizing body lotion. I’m always a fan of Aveeno body lotions because they don’t feel sticky or tacky on the body. It absorbs almost immediately and the moisturizing effect lasts a long time. Great thing is it’s unscented so it’s perfect for sensitive skin and for people who love layering fragrances as the scent of the lotion will not get in the way of their perfumes. I think this is perfect for the summer! -

This is a good fragrance free body wash for sensitive skin. Even though it’s soap and sulfate free, surprisingly it lathered and foamed well with a wash cloth. My skin felt clean but not stripped and dry after the shower. I didn’t feel the need to rush for a body lotion immediately after. -
YSL LOVESHINE LIPSTICK
Love the hydrating and nourishing formula that doesn’t feel goopy or sticky. It’s a very pigmented lip oil in a solid form. The shade 44 looks washed out on my medium brown skin tone but I can make it work by mixing with a darker colour.

I thought I would enjoy this product but for some strange reason this also irritated my skin. Every time I applied it, I could feel a stinging sensation. It contains Niacinamide which is great for controlling sebum and it’s an ingredient I’m used to so idk what’s causing the sensitivity. The texture is a creamy gel and it absorbs into skin nicely.
