I received this L'Occitane Almond Shower Cream for free to test out in exchange for my honest opinion. This product has a creamy-yet-fluffy texture (and a little goes quite a long way) with a luxurious almond scent, and which leaves my skin feeling very soft. The downside would be the scent is perhaps a little overpowering at times, and also this product is a bit on the expensive side. But, overall, I’ll be happily enjoying this shower cream! 💚

I was so excited to try out the new @yslbeauty candy glow tinted butter balm! Pictured is pink sunrise, which is a clear, sheer pink and is my favourite of the three. The other two shades (rosewood blush and nude lavalliere) are still great and they'll both be put to good use, too!
Candy glow is definitely like a balm, but with the packaging and presentation like a luxe lipstick. I am all for this, because I find many lipsticks hard to pull off aesthetically. These balms are soft and go on smoothly with a subtle sheen, without too much pigment, and feel very moisturizing. Plus, they have a great, light fruity scent!
It's definitely a win.

I received the new Georgio Armani luminous silk cheek tint in the shade intense berry to test and give my honest opinion. I was curious to try this out, as I don't often wear blush!
This shade was a bit too intense for me, and I found it hard to apply lightly or in a way that blended out much – so I think a lighter shade would probably be better for my skintone. That said, the packaging is quite lovely and I like the consistency of the product itself – it's not sticky and it actually leaves my skin feeling quite soft and smooth.

Very pleased to be able to try out the new Lancôme Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Eye Serum. First of all, the bottle and packaging are giving premium, they’re giving lux. Love that!
The serum formula itself has a lovely, light texture that goes on smoothly and absorbs well. After several days of using morning and night, I do feel like my under-eye areas seem more hydrated and smooth. I’ll easily be making it through the whole bottle on this product!

Chapman's Yukon Coffee & Chocolate Ice Cream Cone
I was already really into Chapman’s Yukon cones, but for some reason I’d never thought to try the coffee & chocolate variety until now — and it’s sooo good! A nice after-dinner treat.

Giorgio Armani PRISMA GLASS LIP GLOSS
I love the colour (candy halo) which goes on quite subtly; the gloss formula is the right thickness and stickiness; and it has a nice sheen on the lips, albeit not as glass-like as I would have thought. On the downside, the wand is a little flimsy... +
I love the colour (candy halo) which goes on quite subtly; the gloss formula is the right thickness and stickiness; and it has a nice sheen on the lips, albeit not as glass-like as I would have thought. On the downside, the wand is a little flimsy and a bit narrow in my opinion. Overall though, it’s a thumbs up! -

I was sent this Aveeno Calm + Restore gel moisturizer for free in exchange for my honest opinion. I really like its lightweight, gel texture and appreciate that it’s made for sensitive skin like mine, as well as that it’s unscented. I need moisturizer in general much less going into the summer season, but it will be great to have for the harsh winter months — thankfully, those aren’t anytime too soon! -

These lip oil sticks glide on smoothly and give a slightly glossy finish. This shade (nude lavalliere) is quite sheer (much less pigment than the photo would indicate), which is great for me as I like my makeup on the subtle side. I am not certain about the staying power (feel like I’d be reapplying fairly often throughout the day), but this lip oil does make my lips feel moisturized. Overall I’m impressed! -

I was the most excited about this product as an oily faced gal who also cares about SPF protection. ☀️ While I don’t love the texture of this when applying — it’s a bit gritty — I am impressed with the matte finish and how it looks and feels on my skin when fully absorbed. I could see this becoming a staple for me!
