I recently had the opportunity to try out Birch Babe's Golden Hour Brightening Vitamin C Serum, and so far, I'm really enjoying it!
First, the serum has a vibrant yellow hue and subtle shimmer, giving my skin a dewy, radiant glow. The herbal scent, with its soothing notes of lavender, adds a spa-like feel to my skincare routine. The consistency is on the ticker side and I found that just one pump is enough to cover my entire face, which means this bottle will last me quite a while!
Upon applying, it feels wonderfully refreshing and gives the skin a gentle tightening effect, accompanied by a slight tingle. While it did feel a bit oily at first, I was relieved that it didn’t cause any breakouts—definitely a win in my book!
What I love most is that it’s certified all-natural, made with organic ingredients, and aligns with my values of being vegan and cruelty-free.
This serum promises to brighten the complexion, repair sun damage, and fade dark spots. Unfortunately, since I was only given a couple of days to test it before I had to review it, I haven't noticed any major changes yet—but I’m excited to continue and see the long-term benefits unfold!

I had the chance to test out the L'Occitane Almond Milk Concentrate Body Cream recently, and I loved it!
The cream is presented in an elegant glass container, giving it a luxurious feel. Its lightweight and silky texture allows it to be absorbed quickly. Additionally, the long-lasting, delicate almond scent that lingers for hours—perfect for adding a touch of luxury to my post-shower routine. It is not a deep hydrating cream but after using it, I noticed it left my dry skin soft and moisturized.
That said, the scent might be a bit strong for those who prefer subtler fragrances. Additionally, while it's excellent for the body, I found it a bit too rich for my face due to its slightly oily feel.
Overall, if you're on the hunt for a hydrating and spa-worthy body cream with a heavenly fragrance, the L'Occitane Almond Milk Concentrate is definitely worth the splurge. Just be mindful of the fragrance strength if you are scent-sensitive!

I recently tried the L'Occitane Almond Delicious Shower, and it's a bit of a mixed bag for me. On the one hand, the scent is absolutely amazing and luxurious. Still, its lingering strength can be overpowering, especially in comparison to the rest of the products of this line that are milder scented.
On the positive side, the foam is delightfully creamy and smooth, and the light texture feels wonderful on the skin. I also love how the almond oil leaves my skin soft and moisturized without making it greasy. Additionally, you only need a small amount of product to wash your whole body.
I will use it sporadically when I want to have a spa day at home, but not every day because of the strong scent.

I recently tried Listerine Total Care and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised.
The taste is less harsh than regular mouthwash, which I really appreciated.
It's also great that it doesn't contain alcohol. The refreshing feeling it leaves in my mouth is great, and my mouth feels clean after using it.
What's more, I didn't experience any heartburn like I sometimes do with regular mouthwash. Overall, I'm happy with Listerine Total Care and would recommend it to others.

The Urban Decay All Nighter setting spray is my go-to setting spray.
It keeps my makeup intact until the next day, which is perfect for long events or busy days. I find it to be a must-have on hot summer days when my makeup is prone to melting.
I've never had any bad reactions to it, and it feels light without any stickiness. Additionally, it dries fast, which is convenient when I'm in a rush. I never tried a better setting spray and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for long-lasting makeup.

I must be super tasty because bugs loooove me, and I can't go anywhere in the summer without being bitten. That’s why I was happy to try the Sarna Bug Bite Patches.
These hydrocolloid patches are made with natural ingredients including Aloe, Witch Hazel, and Chamomile, which is a big plus for me. I find that they provide some relief, but unfortunately, they don't stop the itching entirely. However, they cover the bite site, which helps to prevent me from scratching.
They are easy to apply and easy to take off without leaving any residue, and they look discreet on the skin. On the downside, they don't help much with the swelling, and the regular package only comes with 24 patches, so they are quite pricey.
Despite not being a complete solution, I still think they are worth having on hand for bug bites.

I recently tried the L'Occitane Redefining and Cellulite-Reducing Artichoke Body Cream, and I loved it !
L'Occitane products are made in France, so you know they are high quality. The Artichokes used in this product are sustainable-sourced from the South of France.
The cream comes in a beautiful glass container that adds an elegant touch to my skincare routine. The cream itself has a luxurious feel - it's light, velvety, and feels refreshing on the skin. After a couple of days of using it, I feel like my skin looks radiant and hydrated. The scent is my favorite thing about it; it's delicate, herbal with floral tones, and it's really pleasant and not overpowering.
Even though I can't confirm the cellulite-reducing claim, I do believe that my skin appears smoother and more hydrated. Overall, I'm happy with this product and would recommend it to others looking for a quality body cream.

I recently tried the Lancôme Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Serum Eye and I am impressed with the results.
After using it for a week, I have noticed a visible reduction in my dark circles.
The texture of all three serums is light, and they get easily absorbed by my skin. Not only did it make the skin around my eyes feel firmer, but it also helped hydrate my dry eyelids.
Additionally, I love the light scent of this product. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an effective eye serum.

I recently tried the PanOxyl PM Blemish Brightening Patches and had a mixed experience with them.
Pros:
- These patches are big and can cover a large area of your face;
- They can be cut for a more targeted application;
- Didn't cause any adverse reaction, like drying my skin;
- Easy to apply and stay on all night.
Cons:
- The sample I received was enough for 4 applications, and I didn't see any results after 4 days;
- I didn’t notice any change at all in the shade, texture, or pores of my face.
Overall, this product wasn't for me. While the patches were easy to use and gentle on my skin, they didn't deliver the results they promised, which was disappointing.
