the cream glided so easily and was absorbed by my skin almost instantly. It does not leave a sticky or heavy feel. The scent is lightly sweet and floral, similar to ylang ylang if you’re familiar with that scent. i personally like that scent profile but if you’re someone that has sensitivity to floral fragrances, it might be better for you to go in to the store to smell it before you buy. I also appreciate the sustainable packaging. However, since this product claims that it improves/reduces the look of cellulites, I still have to use this product a bit longer to really see the effects.

Giorgio Armani PRISMA GLASS LIP GLOSS
I’ve tried quite a few lip oil/gloss and this has by far exceeded them. It’s so comfortable, non-sticky and very hydrating. I can’t wait to try the other shades!

Such a unique product that actually delivers on it’s claims. I am an oily girly during warmer months and I struggle to keep my face not looking like I just got dunked in a deep fryer even if I set my face. I was skeptical but gave this foundation a shot and wore it the first time for 8 hours. I was so pleasantly surprised when at the end of the 8 hrs my skin still looked great. Of course having a bit of shine is inevitable but the difference is that the shine I got while using this foundation actually looks healthy and natural. Not to mention, I didn’t feel like I had any foundation on even all the way to the end, it is so lightweight which I think in turn is what also helps my oiliness to be controlled, because my skin isn’t so constricted. Can’t wait to test this out during my vacay in Miami.

This serum is lightweight and leaves my skin so hydrated and plump without making me look greasy. I wear this while my skin is still damp after cleansing and my skin just soaks it all up. I could definitely tell the difference in how my skin feels so soft.

This is such a great addition to my nighttime routine. I have only used this a few times but I can already tell the difference. My skin just soaks this all up and leaves no residue. I wake with plump and hydrated skin ready for makeup the next day.

YSL LOVESHINE LIPSTICK
This shade does not work for medium and darker skin tones. This just settled on the lines on my lips and accentuated my dry and cracked lips. I wish it could’ve worked but for the price, I’d use something else

To say that I’m impressed is an understatement. Having short and straight lashes, I have tried so many(too many) mascaras in my lifetime. This is the only mascara that has really helped lengthen AND keep my lashes curled the whole day all while keeping my lashes perfectly fanned and not clumpy. Definitely worth the luxury price tag. -

I love perfumes and own anywhere from affordable to expensive ones. This sits on the perfect side price wise and I have never owned a water based alcohol free perfume. I was absolutely excited to try this. The silage is where I find it fails miserably. Upon application, it almost instantly disappears unless you spray a lot on or someone would have to be physically close to you for them to smell the perfume. It’s unfortunate because once the perfume dries down on your skin, the scent transforms and is just so beautiful. But you would need to have that part of your body against yours or someone else’s nose to be able to smell it.

Honestly, NYX cosmetics was the gateway brand for me while I was getting into makeup. It is inexpensive BUT works like a luxury brand. This spray was no exception! During these COVID times, I found myself wearing makeup less since it’ll just be covered or ruined by my mask, but this made my makeup last longer. I also am a very oily gal, and although it did not make my oiliness go away completely, it did do a great job in minimizing the shine throughout the day. -

This product worked for what they advertised but it’s not something that made me say “wow this is a great product”. I do already have a gel brow setting product that works better for me, even though it costs a bit more than this, I would still stick to my holy grail product. This one did make my brows look good the whole day and my eyebrows did not budge, but I thinks it’s the fact that the wax is in a solid state that I didn’t like so much. Other than that, it is a decent product. -
