It opens up like sunshine. I can’t think of a better description, than that, but when you think of that fresh morning sunshine You’re standing beside a fresh hidden lake,
Dig deeper, there is a waterfall and gorgeous water lotus floating, no other human in site, nothing but fresh, natural beauty.
As time passes the muskier base notes literally drift in, but you never lose that fresh, light, fruity joy that this is.
It’s a beautiful fragrance, it does truly evoke thoughts of water, clean and refreshing.
It lasts for a good amount of time too, I was thinking it may fade quickly but I wore this yesterday, and it lasted all day.

Shu Uemura is a Japanese Luxury Beauty Brand owned by L’Oreal, their Ultime8∞ cleansing oil has such depth to it. It’s a very rich cleansing oil. Infused with 8 oils, and boasting a unique scent, reminding me of a floral, and fruit blend.
This did a really nice job at removing my makeup with an almost silky texture to it, and emulsified well. The scent was a bit strong for my preference, and lingered, there is added fragrance in the ingredient list. I really enjoyed how it felt on my skin and how my skin felt after using this cleaner. I can’t speak to any long term effects after only using it a few times.
The price however is fairly expensive, $46 for 150ml. For an oil cleanser, in my opinion.
🌺3.5/5 🌟 (if this was cruelty free it would have been 4/5) ~ Since I can’t give half a star on here, this falls closer to a 4 star
🌺Worth Noting ~
* This is not a cruelty free brand, owned by L’Oréal, which is not cruelty free

[I received this product for a greatly reduced price from @Wishtrend in exchange for my honest review, as part of their #BeautyTester program]
📝 ~ This was my 1st time using a Vitamin C serum, and this was the perfect one to start with, it has 5% active, stabilized pure vitamin C 🍊Enough to see results, without irritation and I’m in love. First let’s address one thing, the top ingredient in this is water, yet when I applied it, it felt like an oil❓So here is the deal, I am assuming the oil stabilized the C, but it is in water, so when using this, you apply prior to your moisturizer, I know, it’s one of those exceptions to the norm, and while I am cautious with oils, I have been using this for 2 weeks now and my skin is feeling amazing. I started with a couple drops, working up to about 6 drops, every night. It absorbs amazingly well. I wait a few minutes and then add my moisturizer and wake up with soft, smooth, brighter skin. I’m hoping continued use will show every better results. With a lower concentration of C, you are going to need more time to get your results, but the pay off is there and I highly recommend anyone looking to try C, or deal with dull skin give this a try.
🍊Key Claims ~
* Removes dead skin cells
* Brightens complexion
* Clears skin
* Helps with hyperpigmentation and enlarged pores
* This also contains calming and hydrating ingredients
🍊Packaging ~ This comes in a clear plastic bottle with a dropper, it’s recommended you keep this in a cool, darker place (I keep it in the box to shield it from the light)

📝 @Klairs.global claims this is the “Perfect Icing that locks in Moisture” and I admit I was hesitant about this one, I was concerned it may be too much for my combination skin, oh y’all, I was so wrong❣️
This moisturizing cream is amazing! It literally just melted into my skin. I had no greasy or tacky feeling anywhere on my face, it didn’t feel heavy at all. Just nice and light, and smooth. If there is a scent to this it’s very mild, I honestly didn’t even notice it but I get a hint of something when I first apply it, it’s just a very simple white cream, but the effects on my skin were amazing! This is a cream I would definitely recommend, most especially to those with dry skin, or looking to repair their skin barrier. This is a great moisturizer, and as an aside, there is a whole Rich Moist Soothing Line of products that go with this, including; facial soap, foaming cleanser, serum and mask. For those looking to sooth their skin I would say check them all out.
Key Claims ~
* Deeply hydrating (immediate and long term)
* Strengthens skin barrier (yeast derived Beta Glucan)
* Spreadable and non sticky
Packaging ~ This come in an 80ml (used to be 60ml, but amount has been increased), very simple white and blue metal tube with a twist off cap, and the recycled paper box is printed with soy ink
Direction/Instructions ~ Apply an appropriate amount to your skin as the last step in your skincare routine
Worth Noting ~
* Vegan friendly
* Cruelty free
* Does contain essential oils
* Completed testing for sensitive skin irritation, skin barrier function improvement, skin sebum moisture balance improvement, & 24 hour continuance hydrating

⭐️ I rate this at about 4.5 star product over all. The only 2 issues bringing it down are that the price is a bit high (so on sale I would repurchase) and the use of EO’s but those were drastically reduced, I did not try the last version so can’t compare.

I was able to purchase this product at a very reduced price through 08Liter in exchange for my honest review
📝 ~ This is the first product I had ever used from Milk Touch, in fact I had never heard of this line, which I now know was founded in 2019 by Korean influencer, Hong Yeong-gi. There are several products in this line I am now hoping to get to try 💖
The claim of this serum is that it “Helps decrease the production of melanin in the skin for a clear, radiant-looking complexion.”
This is a water based serum, with a slightly thicker consistency, and a beautiful pink color. I noticed no scent at all from this, and it absorbed very well into my skin, not leaving it tacky, It plumped up my skin and left it feeling very nice. Zero irritation or dryness after using this for over a week now, once a day, but think twice a day would not be an issue at all, and I plan to increase to that.
I can’t speak to long term effects of brightening, but the list of ingredients do sound promising, as do the clinical test results. I will continue this as part of my routine, based on its immediate effects on my skin alone, and recommend giving it a try for sure.
Key Ingredients & Claims ~
* Niacinamide ~ Skin brightening, anti-acne, moisturizing
* Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) ~ Antioxident, skin brightening
* Nymphaea Alba Flower Extract, Prunus Serrulata Flower Extract, Nelumbium Speciosum Flower Extract, Camellia Japonica Flower Extract , Rosa Hybrid Flower Extract
* Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid ~ Moisturizing
* Raspberry Ketone
Packaging ~ This comes in a 40ml clear glass bottle with a glass dropper, twist off top
Worth Noting ~
* Alcohol Free
* Dermatologist tested
* Clinical tests show it can reduce the appearance of dark spots, freckles on the skin
* Vegan
* Cruelty Free
Retail Price ~ $25-35

I first want to thank @Isntree for the opportunity to try this product in exchange for my honest review #Isntreereviewbus
📝Today we’re talking about Isntree’s Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel ~ One of my new faves for suncare💛 the name “gel” was a bit confusing to me at first, because it appears more like a lotion when you first see it, white and opaque, but the way it spreads and absorbs on you’re skin, then it’s clear, oh, speaking of clear, zero white-cast, nada! And check the amazing, good for your skin ingredients below 🌞
This has a very, very mild scent when I first apply it, a typical sunscreen smell, not unpleasant, and so mild it’s gone before I’ve even finished applying ☀️after applying my skin feels so hydrated, and at first it’s a bit “shiny” - but it sets in and that goes away. I do suggest giving your moisturizer some time to set in before you apply this, it helps a ton. (Some of you could even replace your moisturizer with this and be all set) I think the only complaint I would have is that my more oily parts of my skin due tend to get a glossy look to them as the day goes by, nothing close to tragic, and if it was an issue it could be solved with a swipe of powder. I would recommend this sunscreen all day long, and it will be a continued part of my skincare ~ now let’s hit on some of the details (Take a look at some of these ingredients ~ 🤩)
☀️Key Ingredients & Claims ~
* 8 types of Hyaluronic Acid ~ Mousturizer
* Niacinamide ~ Skin brightening, anti-acne
* Centella Asiatica Extract ~ Soothing
* A slew of anti-oxidants
☀️Packaging ~ This is in a nice simple squeezable tube, with a twist cap. It’s super convenient and there is no wasted product.
☀️Worth Noting ~
* Cruelty Free
* Chemical Sunscreen
* SPF 50 (UVB)
* PA++++ (UVA)
* Fragrance Free
* Alcohol Free
* Eco-friendly
☀️Retail Price ~ $17-$25

This gentle rose foaming cleanser is not something I would have ever purchased for myself, but I am so glad I was given the chance to try it. ~
🌹First, the cleanser itself is pink with small flecks of rose petal in it, a nice touch!
🌹Second, it has a very strong rose scent (if you don’t like that, avoid this cleanser.) I really enjoyed the calming, and mood lifting scent of roses every time I washed my face
🌹 Third, this cleanser really foams up, it just needs a little water and friction and you can feel the bubbles popping on your skin 💭😊
🌹Fourth and finally, it did a great job of cleansing without stripping, drying, or irritating my skin, it claims it also exfoliates, I know my skin feels very smooth and soft after using this for a bit over a week now.
Key Ingredients & Claims ~
* Provence Rose ~ Soothes irritated skin, contains antioxidants
* Real Provence Rose Petals ~ Gently exfoliate skin
* Papaya Extract ~ Vit. A & C
* Grapefruit Extract ~ antioxidant, anti wrinkle, moisture
Packaging ~ This comes in a cute pink plastic squeeze tube, with a window on the side showcasing the beautiful cleanser! nothing fancy, but it works
Worth Noting ~
* La Florelle is a female owned company
* They donate a portion of their profits to foundations that fight against social injustice as well as other social causes.
* They believe healthy skin is not a trend but a lifestyle.
Retail Price ~ $13.99
*The two things keeping this from being 5 stars; no easy access to info about being cruelty free, and environmentally conscience, and that the scent may be a bit too much for some people.
