I actually had no idea there were bug bite patches out there! This is a great idea for those of us who are literally magnets for mosquitoes lol, now I can carry these patches around instead of messy creams. It's also a super hygienic option, because I always hated rubbing my fingers on the cream tubes and potentially contaminating the container for future use. Also, these patches don't sting and stick to the skin quite well without leaving any glue residue or hurting when removing them. I love that it's all natural ingredients as well, I mean the mosquito bites will of course go away on their own, but these patches help a lot with the itchiness and irritation, which can prevent infection and promote faster healing. I'm one of those people who can't leave mosquito bites alone lol, so I have gotten the area infected before. I guess my only recommendation would be to make these patches a bit more easy to peel, maybe they are too thin? But other than that, I love the concept of a patch and would definetly start carrying these in my purse! I totally recommend this product! - I received this product for free, in exchange for my honest review. -

I have tried quite a few setting sprays before throughout the years, but honestly this might be the best one so far. It really makes makeup last all day, has no annoying fragrances, and dries super fast (probably what I like the most about it). However, I noticed that only one application is enough, doing more than that seems to create a weird/thick texture. Another thing I like about this setting spray, is that it makes those eyeshadows that usually crease easily, last way longer, though for that I guess it also depends on the brand and kind of eyeshadow, but in general, it's not only foundation that lasts longer, but eveything else. Oh and I had a chance to test this setting spray under some light rain and when I blotted the water drops from my face, my makeup was still there, so yeah, I would definetly recommend this product! It works better than other brands I have tried before and the finish is nice and smooth, you can't even tell you have applied it.

I usually dread using eye serums regularly, even though I need them at my age (37), because of the texture and feel many of those products have, especially in the eye area where the skin is very thin and sensitive. However, this product, Lancôme Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Serum Eye, feels completely different to other brands I have tried. It's very very light, absorbs super fast, doesn't sting, doesn't have an intense smell, it's not sticky at all and the skin feels refreshed and hydrated immediately. However, even after my initial surprise at how nice this serum felt, I still had my doubts about this product actually helping with fine lines, so I tried it for a few days (morning and evening) and it seems like the main issue it helped me with was eye puffiness, my under eye skin felt more firm, very hydrated and the eye bags were considerably less prominent. After that, I would say that my dark circles were also reduced and that the fine lines were less intense (the hydration is really something else with this serum). So yes, this serum provides many benefits and is very comfortable to use, I would say it's amazing for maintenance and a good addition to any skincare routine, especially for people with sensitive and dry skin. I think this eye serum is my favourite now, but then again Lancôme is always creating amazing products, in fact I have been buying one of their products (different to this one) for the last 13+ years, that's just how consistent this brand is and their quality never dissapoints. I would definitely recommend this eye serum as a comfortable option for tired skin with visible lines, puffiness, and dark spots/areas.

I actually had never heard of the Ozonol® brand before, so I'm glad I got to try this Ozonol® Non-Stinging Ointment! At first, I didn't think it would be that effective since it doesn't contain any antibiotics, however, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw a minor scrape on my elbow heal quite fast after applying this ointment! I noticed that my wound was "drying" but in a healing way, as if the ointment was providing a layer of protection that was helping the skin to close faster, and trust me, even if that was a minor scrape, it had some depth to it, so I was quite surprised at how fast it closed! It took about a day to develop a firm layer of thin, healing skin and the whole thing was completely gone after about 2 days, without any further issues or infection. I'm very happy with the results, though I tried it on a small wound, but I will make sure to always have this product in my cabinet and first aid kit, for minor skin irritations and wounds. Oh and it helps a lot with itching while the skin heals, so that was another pleasant surprise. I completely forgot about that scrape for a whole day since I wasn't feeling any itching or burning. I would say this product is very effective despite not containing any antibiotics, so I would definitely recommend it! - I received this product for free, in exchange for my honest review. -

This is definitely a next generation lip gloss formula. It's very hydrating, soft on the lips and even though it's sheer, it's also buildable. The smell is very subtle and I also LOVE that it isn't sticky or super oily, just balanced and perfect to use on its own or on top of lipstick. I think I like using it on its own more though, because it hydrates my lips and gives them some very nice shine, plus I really enjoy the hydration, especially for the edge of my lips. When using on top of a lipstick, I think a matte formula is a good choice, just to provide some hydration, especially when those lipsticks make lip lines more visible. In general, this lipgloss is quite good, the formula is well researched and balanced, totally worth trying, however it also depends on what you are looking for, I understand that some people would want more pigmentation for example, but to me, the formula and the actual "feel" of the product is the most important part. I love nourishing beauty products that will also benefit my skin and contribute to a healthier look, more than the "flashy" part of it, which can always be regulated by using additional products (like a lipstick underneath in this case). I would 100% recommend this product, especially for people 30+ who are looking for a very hydrating and comfortable lipgloss, I'm sure we've had our days of having to put up with sticky and tacky formulas lol, so yes, Armani has done it again! I already love some of their products, their eyeshadows are to die for, but this lipgloss, simply amazing and comfortable to wear! - I received this product for free, in exchange for my honest review. -

I have used Aveeno products before, but lately they have also become my holy grail, as I feel the formulas have changed and are even more effective. I love how this brand is always innovating and coming up with new products with different textures and purposes. This AVEENO® Calm + Restore Daily Gel Moisturizer, has been amazing for the dry areas on my body and general hydration. I specially like the gel texture because it seems to absorb faster than normal creams, without leaving any residue or overwhelming greasiness. I like using this cream in specific before going to sleep, I feel like it nourishes and heals my skin overnight, without the uncomfortable feeling of thick creams that usually leave residue on my bed sheets. I would definitely recommend this cream, it's a must-have, especially for people with sensitive skin, since it has no fragrance and it doesn't irritate the skin. I didn't even feel the slight burning sensation I get with other creams. This product is so gentle, yet nourishing, that I have also started using it after shaving my legs, the calming effect is amazing - I received this product in exchange for my honest review. -

I have used YSL products before and the quality has always been pretty consistent and their packaging impeccable. I personally like the YSL LOVESHINE LIPSTICK (44) because of how incredibly buttery and hydrating it is. I think I could even describe it as "juicy" and I don't think I have seen anything similar before, though there's a lipbalm from another brand that comes to mind, but it's still not the same, YSL made it so this product feels very light and quite breathable on the lips, which is not the case with other brands. I also feel this lipstick is nourishing but without compromising shine and colour, however, one suggestion I would make is to maybe make the colours more opaque, it might be too sheer for lips with hyperpigmentation or darker edges, especially for this specific shade, it's a beautiful pink, but maybe too sheer. When it comes to packaging, it's amazing as always, the lipstick casing has some weight to it, it's beautiful, elegant and the finishing is of good quality as well. Honestly, I enjoyed this lipstick a lot, so comfortable and can even be applied on top of regular/matte lipsticks to get a more comfortable and hydrating feel. - I received this product in exchange for my honest review. -

I have tried so many over the counter creams and moisturizers for my eczema and I have yet to find my holy grail. However, I think this gel cream is finally it, since it provided instant relief to the affected areas, though I wish the moisturizing effect lasted longer, because it really is an awesome cream. The AVEENO® Eczema Care Rescue Relief Treatment Gel Cream is very light, fragrance free, and non greasy; which is basically everything I'm always looking for in a cream/moisturizer, but it's mainly the watery gel texture and instant relief that really has me sold. My ezcema is usually very annoying, but right now it's mild (it gets way worse during winter) and I can tell that this product works perfectly for this level, I could even skip daily normal cream application and go right to this gel because of how efficient it is, though it works even better when also using a daily cream (the one from the same line is perfect). I would 100% recommend this cream to anyone with really annoying eczema, I wish there was a smaller pocket version though, because this would be super useful when going out to get quick and discreet relief. - I received this product in exchange for my honest review. -

I think I have tried most creams for eczema out there (over the counter) and I have yet to find something that works. However, I think I have now found my holy grail, the AVEENO® Eczema Care Daily Moisturizing Cream is quite light, gentle (no fragrance) and non greasy, which is basically everything I always look for in a cream, but this time it actually works for eczema, at least for mild eczema, which I have right now (it gets way worse at the peak of winter). I love how this cream works, but I wish the moisturizing effect would last longer, but other than that, yeah, I'm replacing all my old creams with just this one and the rescue relief gel of the same line. I have used Aveeno products before, but this time it really looks like a lot of research went into this cream, it's like a refined version of all of their previous creams. I would 100% recommend it! - I received this product for free, in exchange for my review. -

This cream is quite calming, I somehow thought it would be very intense since it's for acne prone skin, but it's quite nourishing and allows your skin to rest after the more intense treatments during the day. I can literally feel this cream repairing my skin barrier and the added bonus is that it doesn't aggravate any active acne, if anything it prepares your skin to continue treatment with the day products the next morning. This cream is probably my favorite from all the products of the same line, it's very hydrating and helpful. I would definetly recommend it.
