For reference, I'm a NC20 and have relatively combo/oily skin.
I'm a huge ITG and Glossier fan girl, and this was the product that made me make my first ever Glossier order. I was super excited about this because I like the finish of cream blushes, but I despise how grimey pot creams get (re: Bobbi Brown, RMS, Stila, Topshop cream blushes). This cute packaging seems like the perfect solution so I was pumped to try it when it launched.
The biggest drawback about this product for me is the short wear-time. It just does not last on my skin, at all. Dusk is my favourite blush colour, but it didn't show up on my skin. (?!?!?!?!? *NC20*)
Having said all that, Beam shows up visibly on my skin, blends beautifully, and works great on top of a liquid or powdered base. It lasts about 3-4 hours on me, which isn't ideal. However, it is now my go-to blush when I want to top up my blush later in the day, because it works so well on top of an already made-up face. I guess that's why it's such a good "on-the-go" option.

This is the only shampoo I've used since its launch. I need a sulphate-free shampoo for my coloured hair that LATHERS. Yadayadayada, I know I don't NEED a lather for my hair to be clean, but #trust I have the thickest head of Asian hair, and if I use Davines or some shit, I will be using up the entire *biodegradable* jar every week. This is reliable, and the whole "gotta change your products because they stop being effective" does not apply here because I've used it consecutively for a few years, and it works just the same when I bought my first tube.
For reference, I have relatively straight, coloured hair, hair so thick that my hairdresser comments on it every time I see him even though he's been cutting my hair for over 5 years.

I have eczema, extremely sensitive skin, and sometimes, cracking skin. Fun. This is my favourite moisturizer to use (morning and night) because it's fragrance-free, genuinely soothes my eczema (even if it's for a few hours). The fact that it has ceramides in it, which my skin really likes, and has a great texture that absorbs quickly makes this my favourite body moisturizer hands down. (I would literally bring this with me even when i'm travelling.)
My only complain is that it doesn't come in a tube, so I can't carry it in my bag and use it throughout the day.

I have the oiliest eyelids that melt all non-waterproof mascara. The key to find THE waterproof mascara for me is then something that doesn't smudge, but still easy to remove. CoverGirl's waterproof formula can be quickly removed with my Bioderma Miscellar water (because I've got no time or shelfie space for two make-up removers), and doesn't clump (no shit). If this is not my dream everyday mascara, I don't know what is. -
