My favorite part of this serum is definitely the texture! It's pretty much feels like water on my skin and absorbs without leaving behind anything at all. As far as hyaluronic acid serums go, this one is pretty good. It hydrates well and layers well with other skincare products. My one complaint though is the price. At $75 for less than 1 ounce of product, it feels quite expensive for a hyaluronic acid serum.

The formula of this Loveshine Lipstick is so nourishing and moisturizing. Not drying at all, and feels much more like a lip balm than a lipstick. 44 is a really pretty MLBB (my lips but better) shade, in a nice cool toned nude pink. Love the packaging as well, very luxe! These have a slight fruity scent to them as well. -

This is the first YSL mascara I've had the pleasure of trying! My first impression was that this packaging looks and feels so luxe. I've been very impressed with the formula. It provides a ton of volume and thickness without turning my lashes into spider legs! I love a mascara with a big, fat brush too, this one is just perfect. The longevity is really impressive as well. I have really oily skin that can often mess with my eye makeup, but this mascara isn't going anywhere! -

I'm so happy I'm starting to see tranexamic acid in more and more skincare products lately! It's such a great, effective ingredient for brightening hyperpigmentation, and when combined with niacinamide and vitamin C, dark spots basically stand no chance. These patches are a really decent size and can fully cover pretty much any size dark spot. The adherence is also really impressive, they stay on all night without any lifting on the edges. I really love the idea of having an all-night targeted treatment for hyperpigmentation and dark spots and have started to see slight improvement with just the 4 uses. Since I was only sent 4 of these patches, I can't speak to the true effectiveness of them after 10 days of use, but given the fantastic blend of ingredients in them I truly have high hopes for them. I'm very pale, so post-blemish spots stand out in a really embarrassing way on my skin, so I will absolutely be buying a full box of these! Thank you to PanOxyl and Butterly!

This is easily the best smelling perfume I've ever smelled, hands down. I've always been the type to think I hated most expensive fragrances, because everything always smelled too 'perfumey' and the same to me. I would gravitate towards celebrity fragrances and body spray brands because those would actually smell like something other than 'generic perfume' to me. Lost Cherry changed all that. It's incredible from beginning to end, but unfortunately the end comes waaaay too soon. At this price point, a fragrance should definitely last longer than a couple hours which is so incredibly disappointing. -

I wanted to love this after hearing so many good things about it. I typically used this on my body after a shower and unfortunately it always left my skin feeling a bit sticky which is a deal breaker for me. I got through the entire bottle and unfortunately didn't notice any sort of brightening effects or PIH fading, but it is extremely hydrating. To the point where it could be used as a light body moisturizer in the summer instead of an actual moisturizer. It's also got a nice bubble gum sort of scent that fades very quickly and is obviously an incredible value price wise for the amount of product you get. A bottle lasted me almost 2 years. -

This is absolutely one of my holy grails of skincare. The texture is perfect, it absorbs so quickly and leaves my skin feeling very plump, hydrated and calm. It heals and soothes any sort of blemishes or irritation basically overnight. If you're a tretinoin user, you absolutely want this in your routine. I'll never stop using this as long as cosrx never stops making it! -

I typically avoid night creams as I typically find them too heavy and greasy. I loved this Clarins one though. It's a much lighter gel consistency that doesn't seem like it would be overly hydrating at first, yet I found it to be so much more moisturizing and hydrating than the majority of facial moisturizer. I didn't experience any sort of irritation and found it to be quite gentle, but if you're sensitive to fragrance you might not enjoy this one as much due to it being fairly heavily fragranced. -

The texture of this cream is so lovely. It truly is weightless and absorbs immediately. I found that this moisturizer was sufficiently hydrating even in the harsh winter conditions where I live in Canada. It's reminiscent of a k-beauty moisturizer, which is a huge plus for me. -
