I received these Nexcare Thin & Transparent Acne Patches in exchange for an honest review. These hydrocolloid patches come in a couple of sizes, so that you can choose which suits best for your targeted problem area. I tried them on one small pimple on my face and one on my chest I wasn’t sure was even a pimple. The results : the small one on my face didn’t work until a couple of days later, so I realize the pimple has to be close to surface for the patch to work. The one on my chest worked AMAZINGLY. It was gone overnight . Flattened out completely and no redness. I was amazed by that because I wasn’t even sure if it was just keratin build up or a pimple to start with. I love how the patches show a white cast after they’ve done their job. It makes the end result peel super satisfying. My only complaint and why I docked a star was because I found the tabs somewhat pointless. They are hard to pull off, without pulling the patch off. I’d rather the straight up patch with no tab but I just removed them before I applied them to my face instead of as directed

I have been using this setting spray by Urban Decay for as long as I can remember . I have tried going astray a few times , but always would end up back here because it just works . Truly, the name lives up to the hype. It is called all nighter for a reason and it is honestly one of the only sprays that I find works and holds things where it should. I typically go for bold eye looks, and set my entire face with this spray. The photo I have attached is at the end of the day at sunset, in 30 degree weather . This spray just simply works, I love the fine mist, the spray nozzle doesn’t ever get clogged up or break like other setting sprays which will start to stream instead of mist - and it delivers it until the last drop. The best setting spray on the market.

I received this product complimentary of Butterly and Armani Beauty. First off, I adore the shade . This coral peachy tint was the perfect summer shade and I reached for it every single morning when going for a cream blush. This tint is a creamy but a tad sheen formula wise. It blends like an absolute dream, I tried with both my fingers and a brush and all applications were seamless and flawless. There is a perfect dry down. I LOVE cream and liquid products as I get older and this one is no exception. I did set it with a peachy topper blush as well, to help it last a bit longer. I do not find is has a full 12 hour wear to it, as claimed, but it does last the work day, as long as I don’t get too warm. The packaging is very sleek and luxe with the frosted glass, and the applicator is extra soft, you can tell it is from a quality company. Worth trying out for the shade alone. @armanibeauty

L'Occitane Redefining and Cellulite-Reducing Artichoke Body Cream

Upon first impression, I thought “hm, kindof a small-ish jar meant to be a full body cream, how long is this going to last?” - but a little goes a long way! I used this for 2 weeks now and there’s only a dent gone out of it. The packaging is absolutely stunning, love the heavyweight glass jar, no skimping on the packaging or product quality . The product is classy, it smells herbal/ natural , and it lingers only a bit when applied to the skin. It does dissipate after a bit. The box does show a diagram on how to massage this into the body and how to rub it into the different body parts so I followed that and it did feel like I had a mini massage. I do have some cellulite and I did feel some smoothness on my legs and thigh area after using it consistently . It’s a bit tacky on the dry down for daytime so I just slather it on at bedtime and it’s lovely . L’Occitane does it again.

I received this product in exchange for my honest and true review.
I always was a Lancôme fan, and I love their triple serum for the face so I was super excited to receive this eye serum! First - the packaging is amazing. What a high quality , beautiful, easy to use, and no waste dispenser . Stunning. Second, the product is nice! It dispenses the perfect amount of a trifecta of serums and it just gets patted onto the under eye and it sinks in fairly quickly. The formula is non greasy, absorbs nicely. In terms of efficacy- I did seem to notice less tired eyes the next day. After consistent use, overall brighter under eyes and less puffy and or wrinkly ! It does what it says, but be consistent with it. I did notice I had a slight tingle , which does go away after it dries down, so I’m not sure if that’s the niacinimide or what, the only time I’ve felt that in the past was with retinol eye creams. It is not uncomfortable , it just is a slight tingle . Happy with this eye cream and would repurchase.

I liked this gloss! You can tell that this is made by a luxury brand, based on the quality of the packaging. The tube is super high quality and feels high end. My one thing that I felt fell short was the doe foot- whilst it was soft, I wish it was one of those spade shaped ones or even a thicker wider doe foot applicator- the tiny tip felt a bit cheap. The formula is super nice, thick but not sticky, leaves a beautiful sheen to the lips and it lasts fairly long - as far as glosses go. The shade is complimentary to my neutral skin tone so I kept it in my purse for mid day applications. The formula felt also like it gave me a bit of a plump feel? Not like the tingle you get from an actual plumping gloss but it did make my lips feel full. -

These lipsticks are super nice feeling on the lips, very comfortable wear . I do however wish they stuck around a bit longer. The formula is very creamy but not thick, it’s a hybrid between a lipstick and a tinted lip balm almost ? The color shade is nice for every day wear, a mild , sheen, vaguely shimmer peachy shade. The tint just gives a lovely sheen to the lips without feeling heavy or drying. I did find myself having to reapply as it’s a thinner formula it does not last, especially after eating or drinking , but still very nice to keep in the purse. -

This stuff surprised me! I looked At the list of ingredients and was excited to try it, I used it after doing a chemical peel and felt dry and irritated and needing some relief . This gave me that. I couldn’t believe how much it soothed my red skin. My skin is soft, clear, and supple. There is an herby earthy scent but it dissipates after being applied to the skin. I topped this with the grown alchemist moisturizer which is also amazing.

I am so used to basic hyaluronic acid serums; that do plump a bit but if you don’t apply correctly and apply when your face is still very wet, it has opposite drying effects. I did use this for a couple of weeks and noticed my skin looks more plump and supple. My 11 lines between the brows seem to be less harsh as well. I’ve been using this with the skin renewal serum as well so it could be a combo of the two. I also paired it with the grown alchemist THICK moisturizer . Wow. What a combo

I wanted to love this so bad. I have used many YSL products in the past and was quite fond of them. This product was not great for me. I love the look of the packaging, and I do quite like the bristles on the wand, but it was the formula that didn’t work out for me. I applied and applied, and the product just is kindof dry but goopy at the same time, it bulks up around the root but no product builds up towards the end of my lashes. I have to use a dry spoolie or another mascara to work the product out to the ends of my lashes. The staying power of the mascara was great, but removing it was also a nightmare. I understand that waterproof formulas need to be able to withstand a bit of moisture but I tried heavy duty cleansing balls and oil based removers and still struggled and lost quite a few lashes in the process so I stopped using it before I had none left .Gave 2 stars for the packaging and the wand shape . -
