I'm honestly shocked that I never hear anyone (in real life or on social media) talk about Bioderma's Atoderm line, because they have changed my life.
I suffer from atopic dermatitis, and even when I don't have any flare ups, my skin is naturally incredibly dry and flaky. I've probably tried every single drug store "eczema" moisturizer out there and they've all been pretty mediocre. Most moisturizers will absorb completely and within 15-30 minutes my skin will be dry again.
While the Bioderma Atoderm Balm is somewhat greasy, it does absorb within about half an hour. I can go at least 12h without having to reapply and my skin texture is absolutely amazing and normal feeling after using this cream. It's fragrance free and doesn't irritate me, and I'm able to use it all over my body as well as on my face.
I can't rave more about how great this cream is!!!

This has been my favourite, go to lip colour from the moment I've owned it!
I have super dry skin and my lips are no exception to this. I find most liquid lipsticks to be very drying but Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lips are comfortable all day for me.
The colour itself is absolutely universal, and looks great on all skin tones (I know people say this about a lot of colours but I usually find that that's not true for me). Shade wise it's what I would call a "deep nude", which is perfect for me since most nudes wash me out. The colour is nude enough to go with most neutral eye looks (whether natural or on the smokier side), and I always get compliments on my lip colour when I wear it out.

Anastasia Beverly Hills DIPBROW Pomade

I have very few/no eyebrow hairs, which makes it difficult to find a brow product that will last all day (they all seem to need some hairs to cling to). But bless ABH Dipbrow, this stuff stays on all day and is decently water resistant (as long as you don't try to scrub it away with water).
The pot will probably last me forever, I've had this product for nearly 6 months and I've gone through maybe 1/8th of the pot.
My only complaint is the shade range. I am Asian with very dark brown hair, and I've been using the shade Ash Brown. It's just a little bit too light, and the brown shades are slightly too red, and the darkest black shade make my eyebrows look completely fake. In photos with flash my eyebrows definitely appear way to light, so I'm hoping to figure out a solution to this, maybe setting them down with a darker powder.

I recently cut off 6+ inches of hair and have been relearning to style my new short do. I've been a huge fan of Living Proof products, and my stylist recommends Ouai and Amika, so I figured I'd give this texturizing spray a try considering all the hype Ouai gets from influencers.
Pro:
The spray on the aerosol is incredible, which is the big difference I've found between drugstore and high end hair products. The mist is very fine, which allows for better diffusion of the product in the hair. I think this is one of the reasons why the product works so well.
Con:
The scent. It's VERY strong (though not as strong as their dry shampoo), and lasts for quite sometime. The scent itself is quite heavy and powdery (almost kind of masculine smelling), and takes a lot of time to fade away. If you're sensitive to scents, I would stay clear of this product.
I have very straight hair that's easy to style, but doesn't hold style very well for longer than ~6h. The hold on this spray is about medium for me, and if I want to retain my style, it's best to finish off my look with a strong hold hairspray.
All in all, I'm not against repurchasing the Ouai texturizing spray, but I think I'd like to try some other high end dry texture sprays before, to see if there's one that

Dove Advanced Care Go Fresh Cool Essentials Antiperspirant Stick

I really love the freshness of the cucumber scent of this antiperspirent. It's not too overpowering which is great when you're wearing other scented products but still want some scent in your antiperspirant.
My one warning would be not to overapply it, because even though it is an "invisible" antiperspirant, you need to apply sparingly to make sure that you don't get any white marks on your clothing.
