IT COSMETICS Your Skin But Better™ CC+™ Cream with SPF 50+ in Medium

So I'm an idiot. I bought a deluxe size almost a year ago and I used it sparingly because I was saving it for travel and the coverage is a little too heavy for my preference (it says "full coverage" so that's not a surprise). Anyway, since it's expiring next month, I looked it up online to repurchase and noticed that the picture said SPF 50 on it and I wondered why mine didn't have SPF. That's when I saw the big sticker and peeled it off to find SPF written underneath??? I've been using this the whole time for indoors and avoiding use when I know I'll be going outside. I can't believe I missed that this had SPF in it the whole time and I could've been using it more instead of letting it expire... smh... Anyway, it's a nice tone, spreads well, but like I said I prefer something with lighter coverage. It also accentuates dry spots so it's not great during the winter. -

This feels so lightweight and smooth on the skin. I've only use a few gel lotions before and most of them left me looking shiny afterwards. I like that this one goes on so lightly, absorbs quickly and looks matte. I'm in love with the feel of this but I'm not 100% sure how effective it is as a moisturizer. I've heard that the cream version of this is better, but I've never tried it. I'll use up the rest of this but will probably look for a more economical alternative once it's done. -

This is a good lip balm for everyday use. It won't soothe dry cracked lips but it's good for getting regular moisture. All these balms have a solid stick and waxy feel which I don't mind, but it means I have to give it at least 3-5 swipes to feel like there's a comfortable barrier on my lips. I like some of the other scents better but this one got too cloying for me. It started off okay. It's a nice, almost sweet kind of scent (typical to shea and sweet almond) but after about a day, I got sick of it. Enough that I wanted to toss the whole thing. If you're sensitive to sweet fragrances, I'd suggest choosing a different scent. If not, this is a nice lip balm. -
The Ordinary 100% Plant Derived Squalane
j'etais decu avec ce produit parce qu'il y a beaucoup de "hype" avec squalene alors je pensais qu'il aurai fait un grand difference pour le peau. je n'ai pas vu aucuns changements and je ne pense pas qu'il etait hydratant.

I'm currently using the one pictured on this page and I love it. They are quite expensive wherever you buy them (online or in store) but I just can't say no. I love that they're cute, customizable and make me excited about staying organized. I could accomplish the same thing in a bullet journal or a cheaper planner but I find myself more drawn to using the planner and keeping track of things when I enjoy writing in it and I like the look of it. -

I'll be honest that despite all the information that TO provides, I really don't know how to use their products. This one seemed inexpensive and simple enough to give a try and I haven't been disappointed. The oil is pretty lightweight and packs a good punch in adding or restoring moisture. I went to bed one night with dry flakey skin, applied this, and then woke up the next morning with hydrated skin and no more dryness (except in some areas around the eyes where I didn't use the oil). My only complaint is that this one has a fishy smell. -

After using this deodorant, I'm confident in saying that I dislike the scent of roses. I didn't think this was the case before, but immediately when taking the lid off the deodorant, the sharp smell of roses gave me a hint. Throughout the day, the smell fades (thank God) but I'm still not a fan of this one. I thought the vanilla would mellow it out, but all I get is a faint sweetness and overpowering roses. The texture of the stick, itself, is on the okay side. It makes me think of melting brown sugar... Overall, this is not my favourite deodorant. -

I only use natural deodorants now and many of them fall short of my hopes and expectations. This one was not exactly a standout, but I did prefer it over others that I've used (even from the same Schmidt's line). I think this one is marketed as "unisex" and I do think the scent is pleasant and appropriate enough for either sex. I'm not sure if it's the different ingredients in sage + vetiver and hemp, but I find this one is more solid than the other Schmidt's natural deodorants. That's definitely appreciated because I don't like to smear deodorant on myself, like I've had to do with the others. -

I #gotitfree to try and had a pleasant experience. I think this is a product that lots of acne sufferers will appreciate since acne treatments are notoriously drying for the skin. It's nice to have something that's specifically marketed for moisture. The pump worked fine and I could control how much product was dispensed out. It had a liquid/milky consistency which threw me off because it honestly looks like... I'll say a man-made substance. After I got over that, I used a healthy amount on the face and there was some left over for my neck. At first there was no smell, but then I smelled orange peel when spreading it around my nose. Overall, it feels lightweight, spreads easily, and I noticed I was more matte than I usually am after moisturizing. I think this will be an easy step to add to my skin routine. I will add that I had some small breakout the next day, but I'm not sure yet if it was caused by this product.
C'etait mon plaisir de l'essayer comme #cadeau. Je pense que c'est un produit que beaucoup de personnes souffrant d'acné apprécieront car les traitements pour l'acné sont assez asséchants pour la peau. C'est bon d'avoir quelque chose qui est spécifiquement pour ca. La pompe a bien fonctionné et j'ai pu contrôler la quantité distribuée. Il avait une consistance liquide / laiteuse qui ressemble... Je dirais une substance faite par l'homme... Après avoir surmonté cela, j'ai utilisé une bonne quantité sur le visage et il en restait pour le cou. Au début, il n'y avait pas d'odeur, mais ensuite j'ai senti d'orange en autour du nez. Il est léger, se propage facilement et j'ai remarqué que j'étais moins graisseuse que d'habitude. Je pense que ce sera une étape facile à ajouter dans ma routine. J'ajouterai que j'ai eu quelques boutons le lendemain, mais je ne sais pas encore si c'est causé par ce produit.

I have no love for the original chapstick tubes (the ones that come in the traditional packaging with the twist up balm) but this Total Hydration line is a different story. They deliver on hydration through a waxy kind of feel. Those that prefer a softer and more emollient kind of texture might not like these, but if you're satisfied with a harder balm, then you'll like this. As for the tint, this shade has great pigmentation. It's a light pink which I believe is blue-based. It's not like a bubblegum pink but a more mature and natural shade, in my opinion. I think it would suit light, medium and deep skin tones. If you layer on more product, then the intensity of the colour will show up. I find that the hydration and colour also last for a decent amount of time before I feel the need to re-apply maybe every 1.5 hours or so. -
