As someone who is allergic to chemical sunscreens, I have used thick, pasty mineral sunscreens since I was a child. Thankfully formulas have improved, but many mineral sunscreens still feel thick or leave a white cast on your skin. Or they are much more expensive and out of my price range for something I need everyday. This sunscreen formula felt much thinner than my other facial sunscreens, and did not leave a white cast on my light-medium skin. I can’t speak for darker skin tones, but it worked well for me. If you had told me this was from a high end skincare brand, I would have believed you! I will definitely be repurchasing this product, with its thin formula, lack of white cast, and affordable price. -

I have two main issues with deodorants. They are too strongly scented or they sometimes sting my sensitive skin. This one had a very soft orange scent. Not an artificial fruity/ sweet orange, but a natural one that intensifies (it's very faint in the tube) when applied to the skin. The texture is quite soft for a deodorant, so I one swipe was plenty. It never stung my sensitive skin, even when applied right after shaving. I also thought it seemed to moisturize my skin. I like the concept of the biodegradable, fully paper packaging, which seems quite sturdy. However, it does mean that the product can't be pushed back down. The deodorant left me smelling fresh all day, although I should mention that I'm someone who doesn't sweat very much or get bad BO. So I can't comment for people who need a stronger deodorant, but it's a nice eco-conscious option for everyday. -

This serum cream has a lightweight gel-cream texture that absorbs quickly and doesn't leave any tackiness on the skin. Although it comes out as an opaque white colour, it leaves no white cast on the skin. It made my skin feel hydrated and plump, and helped with more dry areas. However, it does have a strong fruity, almost pineapple-like scent, that I personally found a bit overpowering. I could smell it even a while application. If you like scented products, I would recommend this, but maybe not so much if you are sensitive to fragrance. -

These blush sticks are great for a quick and easy minimal effort makeup. I just swipe them on my cheeks and blend with fingers, or apply with a brush for a softer, more diffused look. I have them in several shades, and they have colours that will suit most skintones, from soft pastel to bright shades! -
This highlighter gives a glossy highlight. Perfect for the glass skin look. The stick format makes it easy to apply to the cheeks and blend, or apply with your fingers for a softer look. It comes with a brush on the other end that can be detached... +
This highlighter gives a glossy highlight. Perfect for the glass skin look. The stick format makes it easy to apply to the cheeks and blend, or apply with your fingers for a softer look. It comes with a brush on the other end that can be detached. Some may not like that it stays balmy on the skin, which I don’t mind because that’s what gives the glossy look. -

My go-to powder for photos. It sets my makeup well without settling into fine lines. Most importantly, I’ve never gotten flashback from wearing this. Very finely milled and doesn’t looks cakey. A little goes a long way, so it lasts a long time.

I’ve been using the Dove sensitive soap and body wash since I was young. It’s the only one that I use regularly. I have extremely dry and sensitive skin, and I’m prone to eczema in the winter and summer months. I also tend to break out in hives from products. I’ll try other sensitive body soaps, but I always come back to this. Thankfully it’s inexpensive and easy to find. I prefer the bar to the body wash due to the lower environmental impact, but they’re both great. -

This is great for people with dry, dehydrated lips. I find that a lot of lip balms will stop your lips from drying out further, but not actually hydrate your lips. This lip mask hydrates and makes your lips smooth and plump. It can can be used under lip products as well, not just for night. There are many yummy scents to choose from, but the scent doesn’t last long if you’re sensitive to scents. -
