The Yves Saint Laurent Candy Glow Tinted Butter Balm in shades 44B and 3B features a luxurious, buttery texture that melts into the lips, providing a smooth and even application. Key ingredients likely include hydrating elements such as shea butter and possibly jojoba oil, known for their moisturizing properties. The balm has a subtle fragrance, which I'm not a big fan off, but it's okay.
The feel on the lips is nourishing and non-sticky, offering comfort throughout the day. The packaging is elegantly designed, reflecting YSL's signature glamour, often in sleek, rose gold ish casing that feels premium to the touch.
As for longevity, this tinted balm offers moderate wear. While the hydration lasts, the tint may require reapplication after eating or drinking to maintain its tint.
The shade 3B is a peachy pink and is warm. Shade 44B is a cool toned pink.

I’ve been on the hunt for a setting spray that actually keeps my makeup looking fresh all day, and Urban Decay’s All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray is a game-changer.
The texture is super light and fine, drying quickly without feeling heavy or sticky. The ingredients, including temperature control technology, really help keep makeup looking cool and fresh.
One downside is the smell – it’s kind of nasty, probably because of the alcohol, but it fades quickly. Despite this, the spray feels like nothing on my skin, with no tacky residue.
Longevity is where this spray shines. I wore my makeup for about 10 hours, and it still looked fresh. Urban Decay claims it lasts up to 16 hours without fading, cracking, smudging, or setting into fine lines, and I can see why.
The packaging is sleek and sturdy, with a matte black bottle, lavender writing, and a purple mister. However, my mister spewed large drops instead of a fine mist, which might be a one-off issue.
I don’t wear super heavy makeup – just BB cream or skin tint, blush, lipstick, but always eyeliner. This setting spray keeps everything in place perfectly for my routine.
As for the price, it’s on the higher end, but considering how well it performs, I think it’s worth if you want to invest in a good setting mist.
Overall, Urban Decay’s All Nighter Setting Spray is a must-have. Despite the smell and my iffy mister, it’s lightweight, long-lasting, and makeup looking fresh.

.
I got to try out the Lancôme Rénergie HCF Triple Serum Eye.
Firstly, the packaging is sleek and luxe. It comes in a pump dispenser that’s hygienic and easy to use, you press it once to mix the potent blend of Hyaluronic Acid, C+Niacinamide, Vitamin F, and SNK-Peptide. This mix is designed to tackle puffiness, lift eyelids, and smooth out fine lines around the eyes.
Using it is pretty easy. After blending a bit between your fingertips, you gently press it under your eyes, then sculpt and smooth from under your eyes up to the crow’s feet and a bit above the brows. They recommend repeating this three times per eye.
In terms of feel, it’s lightweight and absorbs quickly, which I appreciate since I have sensitive skin around my eyes. It doesn’t leave any greasy residue and has a subtle, pleasant scent that fades quickly.
As for results, I’ve noticed my eye area feels more hydrated and looks a bit firmer since I started using it. It’s definitely helping me look more awake in the mornings.
Now, about the price—it’s definitely cha ching, but I think for what it does and the quality you get, it’s worth the investment if you want to splurge.

Armani Beauty Prisma Glass Hydrating Lip Gloss with Squalane
I tried out Armani Beauty's Prisma Glass Hydrating Lip Gloss with Squalane, and here's the what I think
Longevity: This gloss surprised me - it actually stuck around longer than I expected. I didn't have to reapply as often as I thought I would. But ofcourse if you eat and drink it will come off, as it's a gloss.
Ingredients:So, it's got squalane in it, which is supposed to be good for hydration. My lips did feel pretty soft after using it and were soft for a long time after applying
Feel & Texture: Honestly, it feels pretty nice on the lips. Not too sticky, not too thick. But it is a tad bit heavy.
Packaging: comes in a fancy tube, but hey, it's Armani. What else would you expect? The applicator is decent too, nothing to complain about there.
Overall, would I buy it again? I'm not sure, it's pretty pricey, but if $$$ Is not your concern then I'd say go for it

Aveeno is definitely a no fuss brand. The packaging is simple, minimalistic that probability represents the simple and natural ingredients. I always prefer pump bottles for the easy and convenience of use.My body skin is much much drier than my face.
I switch to gentler products especially during winters and eczema flare ups, this is when I need extra hydration and fragrance free products. Aveeno's choice of oatmeal as a main ingredient is great because oatmeal is known for calming the skin, especially if it's sensitive or irritated. Plus, it's good for people with allergies or sensitivities since Aveeno doesn't add any harsh chemicals or artificial scents.
Both the body wash and body lotion helps with hydration and also helps me calm the itchiness. Very simple products can't think of any issues. They are also lightweight, so can be used during sometimes as well, without having the "heavy" or greasy feeling. Definitely a 10 on 10 product.
