This product has quickly become a holy grail for me. I purchased my first, and went with the Limited Edition Gratitude Size (2.5 fl oz) and within a week, knew I needed to buy a second! The packaging is very attractive periwinkle blue accented by pretty purple flowers with a gold product scoop and scoop holder on the cap. When you take off the cap, there is a protective reusable plastic insert with a convenient tab for ease of removal. The cream itself is also a lovely shade of light blue. The scent is very herbal and pleasant. This moisturizer is amazing for extremely dry skin like mine. Nutrient-rich Japanese Purple Rice provides antioxidants to help protect skin and restore balance. Okinawa Algae and hyaluronic acid help skin retain water to stay moisturized and nourished while replenishing the skins barrier, and a lovely blend of botanical extracts and oils help enhance and moisturize skin while providing a beautiful, dewy glow. I have extremely dry skin, especially in the harsh mean winters. I have been searching high and low for a good face cream that doesn’t irritate my skin but truly provides deep nourishment and moisture. The Tatcha Dewy Skin Cream checks all of those boxes and is also a certified clean and cruelty-free product. I am able to use this product in the morning by applying a light layer before putting on makeup, and it helps keep my skin and makeup from forming dry patches throughout the day. At night, I apply a slightly thicker layer before bed, but a tiny bit goes a LONG way! The little scoop they provide allows you to pick up the perfect amount to cover face, neck, décolletage, and the back of the hands as well! The ONLY reason I have marked this four stars instead of five is because of the price: though I feel the Gratitude size is worth it, I feel that Tatcha products are over-priced in general. Another point I would like to include is that this product is not for everyone because I know that the scents and some of the ingredients can be too harsh for some people, especially those with extremely sensitive skin. It also may be too much for those with oily skin as well. -

I received this product in exchange for my honest opinion. I usually don’t wear liquid liner, because I always have a hard time with it. I have had several, and they either bleed (a little, or a lot) after application or bits peel off/it smudges throughout the day. I was extremely impressed with the covergirl exhibitionist lash-enhancing liquid liner! The packaging is sleek and gorgeous, with the gold accent. It has no scent, which is important to me. The felt tip is extremely precise, so it was super easy to apply. The liner applied evenly and didn’t bleed at all, and the pigment for both the rich brown and matte black liners was perfection. I wore each liner several times before writing my review, because I like to get a real feel for the product, and I was continually impressed. The liner lasted for hours-I wore it up to 10 hours one day and it didn’t budge! I will say that much longer than that and it would likely begin to wear, because by that time it was feeling a bit dry. I would most definitely purchase this, and have already recommended it to friends! -

I originally purchased the Tartelette Juicy Amazonian Clay Eyeshadow Palette (Limited Edition) when it was first released in the spring of 2021, and instantly fell in love! It’s a beautiful warm & cool toned blush & nudes palette, with 9 shimmer shades and 11 matte shades. The formula is super smooth and creamy, with great pigment with both the matte and shimmer shades. The shadows blend seamlessly, and work together to create stunning eye looks with minimal effort. I will for sure be purchasing this palette again, because it is my go-to for my “every-day” look. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a versatile palette. -

The Dove Refillable Deodorant Starter Kit in Coconut & Pink Jasmine has already become my new favorite. The kit includes a stainless steel refillable deodorant dispenser, and the refill that comes in a recyclable plastic casing. You remove the top of the plastic casing, and attach the bottom portion that holds the deodorant to the bottom of your stainless steel dispenser. Also, how adorable is that packaging? Even the box feels high quality, and I love the clean and sleek look of the deodorant dispenser with the white and brushed stainless steel. My only qualm with the dispenser was the lack of grip; I wish they had put some white/grey/black silicone grips on either side to make it slightly less slippery in your hand… I do have to be careful not to drop it when I use it! Apart from that, it is perfection. The deodorant itself is such a silky smooth formula, it hardly feels like you are wearing deodorant. It has no alcohol or aluminum, and is made with 1/4 moisturizer to keep your armpits looking and feeling their best! The Coconut & Pink Jasmine scent is light and pretty, and lasts all day. I had no issues with body odor or sweat while using this deodorant. I highly recommend this product, and will absolutely be purchasing refills! -

Overall I have used this product for a couple of months. I love how unbelievably moisturizing this formula is! I have combination skin, and my eye area is the most complicated because it gets dry but is also oily. This eye cream seems to be just the right balance of moisturizing but doesn’t create a ton of excess oil that causes my makeup to move around. This eye cream includes ceramides, oat extract, willow bark extract, and squalane (amongst others) which all combine to create a literal moisturizing bomb for my under eyes. A tiny bit goes a LONG way, it wears very well under makeup, and it reduces the appearance of fine lines. My issue with this, and why I have deducted one star, is that this product has Citrus Autrantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil, Citral, Citronellol, Limonene, and several more ingredients that can be irritating to some people. All of these ingredients are completely unnecessary, and I hope that in the future they make a version that is free of irritating fragrance and oils for those of you out there who can’t use (or just don’t enjoy) fragranced products! -

I received a complimentary .13oz sample of YSL Rouge Pur Couture Satin Lipstick in shade 70 - Le Nu. The packaging was sleek and beautiful, especially for a sample size. The lipstick has no fragrance (or flavor). The formula is buttery smooth and glides on effortlessly, leaving the lips feeling moisturized and soft, and boasts SPF 15 for a little protection from the sun alongside hydrospheres and natural extracts for hydration. The shade, Le Nu, is a beautiful nude pink that adds the “natural, but better” look to your lips, which is my personal preference. I would (and will) 100% purchase this for myself, and would definitely recommend it to others. -
