So I’ve been in love with the Glow Recipe watermelon sleeping mask since it came out and decided to try the Watermelon Glow Pink Juice Moisturizer as well. So far it’s been really good at moisturizing, especially during these dry winter months, and just making my skin look super healthy and plump throughout the day. And honestly, I know I say this for so many products, but a little definitely goes a long way. I use only 1 pump of product per day (I use the sleeping mask as my nighttime moisturizer which definitely helps make the product last longer) so I feel like I’m going to get really good use out of these 0.85oz. -

Disclaimer: I don’t use setting sprays that often specifically but I do enjoy refreshing and hydrating facial sprays so I was excited to use a product that did that as well as prime and set the face.
I haven’t used this spray as a primer yet but I will comment on the setting and refreshing abilities. I used this spray with the other two Nyx products I received from the Bare With Me collection and I feel like they all worked really well together. While I do suffer from an oily t-zone that makeup just slides off of halfway through the day, I will say that I feel like I experienced it a little less on days that I used this spray. So from first impressions (that were made after two weeks of usage) I will say that this spray accomplished the goal of setting my face for the day. As for the refreshing aspect of this product, I can definitely say that it hydrates the skin without making my makeup look too dewy.

I have to say right off the bat that I was pretty skeptical about trying this product when I first received it. I know that jelly products have slowly been entering the beauty world in the form of highlighters but this is the first time I'm hearing about a jelly PRIMER. Either way, I obviously tried it and was pretty excited to see that it was hydrating which is key for these cold oncoming months when my skin feels like the Sahara desert. The jelly consistency was super weird when I first touched it - which I will say I only did once, and then continued scooping it out with a beauty spatula - and kinda fun I'm not gonna lie. I also grabbed a lot the first time, after which I realized that a little bit of this product definitely goes a long way. Upon application it felt very much like a water based moisturizer like the Neutrogena Hydro Boost line or the Belif Water Bomb, which I really enjoyed. It applied quite nicely and basically absorbed into the skin, leaving it a little tacky which I don't mind. I used the Nyx Bare With Me Tinted Skin Veil and the It Cosmetics Bye Bye Undereye concealer over it and both blended reaaaaaally nicely with this primer. As for longevity, I put the product on at 7am and my makeup stayed on until I took it off at 5pm before heading to the gym, save for the occasional powder touch-ups which I always do anyway.
Overall I'm quite pleased with this primer and will definitely continue using it. I do wish it had more a pore-filling aspect but that is probably my only grievance.

I was super excited to receive this product as I've recently been trying to cut down on the amount of skin makeup I wear so I can let my face breathe a little bit. I've worn it for over 2 weeks now and I am pretty impressed with the longevity, the finish, and the overall formulation of this product. Disclaimer though, when they say tinted skin veil, they really mean it. This product is suuuuper super sheer with minimal coverage. But, that being said, it does allow you to create an even base for other makeup to be applied onto. I also love that this product is non-comedogenic meaning that it will not clog your pores and potentially break you out, which I can confidently confirm.
Overall, I was pretty happy with this product and am excited to use it in the coming winter months when my skin will be super dry and the last thing I want is to look cakey.

Ok.....I have tried a lot of hair masks and this one is going right to the top as one of my absolute favourites. I have virgin hair but it has never felt as soft as it did after using this masque and I love that it has UV protection! It just made my hair feel so bouncy and nourished and I didn't even need to style it afterward. I will definitely be purchasing a full size of this and recommend it to any who ask! Thank you chickadvisor for opening my eyes! -

I used this leave-in treatment about 4 times over the past week and I am honestly so happy with it. It is such an essential for the summer when your hair is exposed to sunlight much more than usual and I can say with confidence that my hair has been feeling much healthier than it was previously. Over the Jul 19-22 weekend I was away at a cottage with some friends and I was basically in direct sunlight for all of those days so I am really glad I had this little mini with me! I definitely recommend this product and will be reusing it until its time to buy one myself! -

This conditioner is so good! I have been a fan of Joico for a really long time and the combination with shampoo is just double trouble....but in a good way. My hair was feeling really soft and hydrated over the one week period where I used this conditioner (4 washes total) and I am so glad that it had UV protection because I was basically in direct sunlight for 4 days while at the cottage. Definitely recommend! -

This shampoo is amazing! I was able to use this shampoo over the course of a week (4 washes total) before reviewing it and honestly I am really happy with it.

My hair felt so strong and healthy after using this shampoo and I am glad it had UV Protection because I was basically in the sun for 4 days straight, Definitely recommend! -

I was pretty skeptical about this product when I first received it as I didn’t know how the gel texture would feel as a hand lotion. I was pleasantly surprised and the gel feels so refreshing and hydrating on the skin. My boyfriend has also been using it every day as it’s really helped with the eczema on his hands. Definitely recommend this product! -
