I've been using Lancôme Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Serum Eye for only a few days, and the results have already been amazing. This powerful formula effectively targets wrinkles, dark circles, and puffiness, delivering noticeable improvements in all three areas. The lightweight and fast-absorbing texture ensures it blends seamlessly into the skin without leaving any greasy residue. Additionally, it provides excellent hydration, making my eye area look and feel refreshed and rejuvenated. I love the ingredients in this product - Hyaluronic acid, SNK peptide, Vitamin C, niacinamide and Vitamin F. The elegant packaging is both luxurious and unique and has an easy to use dispenser. While it is on the pricier side, the visible results make it worth every penny! I'm happy to introduce this product as part of my skincare routine! -

Pros:
- Gorgeous Color: The Georgia Armani PRISMA GLASS LIP GLOSS (02) boasts a stunning sheer, pink shade that complements any look.
- Super Hydrating: My lips feel nourished and moisturized!
- Non-Sticky: This is actually the first lip gloss that isn't sticky! It glides on smoothly and feels weightless on the lips. Feels like a balm but looks like a gloss.
Cons:
-Pricey: It's definitely a splurge-worthy item, but the quality and performance make it worth every penny.
Georgia Armani PRISMA GLASS LIP GLOSS (02) has quickly become my go-to lip product. Not only does it provide a gorgeous, natural, pop of color, but it also keeps my lips hydrated throughout the day. Plus, the non-sticky formula is a game-changer. While it's on the pricier side, the luxurious experience it offers makes it worth the investment.

After using YSL LoveShine in 44, I can confidently say it's definitely a top lip oil.
Positives:
- It's incredibly hydrating, which is great for anyone who struggles with dry lips. The formula glides on effortlessly, leaving your lips feeling nourished and soft all day long.
- Its very hydrating! Great for our Canadian, unpredictable, weathers.
- The formula is so smooth and feels so luxurious!
- The shade is simply breathtaking! 44 is a beautiful pink nude, it really looks like it would be universally flattering across various skin tones.
- Infused with nourishing oils, it actively promotes lip health!
The only thing I wasn't really into (though it may not bother everyone) is its overpowering artificial scent. It smells like peach ring gummies. Initially, I loved it! But it gets overwhelming very quickly and will last for a good 15-20 minutes. While not a deal-breaker for me, it may not be the best option for those who are sensitive to fragrances.
So, YSL LoveShine in 44 is an great addition to your daily regimen. Its hydrating, has a gorgeous color, and lip-loving ingredients undoubtedly overshadow the minor inconvenience of its artificial scent.

This cleanser gave me s a mixed experience, with both positives and negatives to consider.
On the positive side, this cleanser effectively removes impurities from the skin, leaving it feeling tight and clean. For waterproof makeup, you might need a double cleanse to fully remove all traces of makeup from your skin. And, the product size is huge, providing excellent value for the price.
It is heavily fragranced so it may not be suitable for sensitive skin, as it can potentially cause irritation. Additionally, despite being marketed as a foaming cleanser, it doesn't foam much.
Overall, while this cleanser gets the job done in terms of cleansing and offers great value due to its size, its heavily fragranced formula and lack of foaming may deter those with sensitive skin or specific preferences. Personally, I won't continue to use it for my skin, but it may find a place in my routine for washing my makeup sponges & brushes!

Neutrogena's Daily Facial Moisturizer is a great go-to choice for everyday, lightweight hydration.
This moisturizer is lightweight and easily absorbable this moisturizer is. It effortlessly sinks into the skin without leaving any greasy or heavy residue behind, making it perfect for daily use. The fact that it's fragrance-free, paraben-free, phthalates-free and dye-free is also a huge plus, especially for those with sensitive skin.
In terms of performance, I haven't encountered any real cons with this product. However, being someone with combination skin, I find that it's better suited for warmer spring and summer weather. During Canadian winters, I prefer something a bit more heavy as a moisturizer.
Overall, if you're in need of a lightweight moisturizer, have normal or oily skin and have sensitive skin this is a fantastic option.

CLEAN RESERVE H2EAU Nectarine Petal is a fragrance that captures the essence of brightness and freshness. The scent is wonderfully light, clean, and exudes a delightful fruity sweetness that is perfect for the spring and summer seasons. Moreover, I appreciate the brand's commitment to eco-consciousness and sustainability.
However, there are a few drawbacks to consider. Firstly, despite its delightful scent, the fragrance unfortunately lacks longevity. It's disappointing because the scent is really nice. I noticed that it dries down a bit sticky and the projection of the scent is quite limited, even if you just put it on, its' difficult to detect.
However, there are a few drawbacks worth noting. Firstly, despite its fresh scent, the fragrance unfortunately lacks longevity. When applied on freshly cleaned skin, the fragrance lasts about 2-3 hours, which is decent. However, if applied after a busy day, where your skin is exposed to day to day activities and environmental pollutants, the scent fades away within 30 minutes at most, which can be disappointing considering how nice and clean this smells. I have noticed that it dries down slightly sticky, and the projection of the scent is quite limited. Even when freshly applied, don't expect to detect the scent unless the area you applied this parfum is relatively near your face.
On a positive note, this is a water-based formula so it's a gentler option for the skin compared to alcohol-based alternatives!
CLEAN RESERVE H2EAU Nectarine Petal offers a delightful, bright and fruity scent, but its lack of longevity and projection may leave some wanting more. Nevertheless, its eco-conscious formulation and gentle composition make it a worthwhile option for those who prioritize sustainability and prefer lighter fragrances for shorter durations.

Tom's of Maine Rose & Vanilla deodorant has completely transformed my daily routine for the better! This product is an absolute game-changer, earning a well-deserved five-star rating.
First and foremost, the scent is divine. The blend of rose and vanilla creates a delightful aroma that lasts throughout the day, keeping me feeling fresh and confident. But what truly sets this deodorant apart is its effectiveness. As someone who sweats easily and (unfortunately) a lot, I've experimented with numerous products to keep the odour and wetness at bay; antiperspirants, clinical strength antiperspirants, regular deodorants, natural deodorants, I have not stuck with something because I haven't found something that works consistently for me. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the performance of this one. It effectively blocks odors and wetness, keeping me dry and comfortable all day long.
In terms of performance, Tom's of Maine Rose & Vanilla deodorant has exceeded all my expectations. I can confidently say that I've finally found a natural deodorant that actually delivers on its promises. There are absolutely no cons that I can find with this product. I only wish I had discovered this gem sooner!
Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Tom's of Maine Rose & Vanilla deodorant to anyone in search of a reliable, aluminum-free option that smells amazing and actually works. It's a game-changer in the world of natural deodorants, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results.

Blue Lizard Sensitive Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 is an excellent sunscreen that I would 100% recommend! This product has exceeded all my expectations and has become an essential part of my daily skincare routine - I use this product on my face & neck instead of my whole body.
I appreciate knowing that I'm using a product that's not only effective but also safe for coral reefs. It gives me peace of mind knowing that I'm protecting my skin without harming the environment.
I love how lightweight this sunscreen is! It makes a perfect, skin-protecting base for makeup. It's doesn't make my makeup/skin look greasy and doesn't make my face feel heavy at all. Plus, it doesn't cause any piling! It effortlessly blends into my skin, leaving no residue or greasy feeling behind.
The texture of this sunscreen is great – it's watery and easy to rub in, ensuring even coverage without any patchiness.
Pro Tip: Apply a vitamin C serum mixed with sunscreen to clean face and let it sit on your face for a few minutes - Vitamin C will boost the effects of the sunscreen. Don't worry if there's a bit of a white cast, it'll fade once you stop rubbing! Then use a small amount of moisturizer and mix it with a niacinamide serum and work that into your skin. Let it sit on your face for a few minutes before starting your makeup application. This regimen will enhance the effectiveness of the sunscreen, nourish and protect your skin, and make the absolute perfect base for all-day lasting makeup!

I honestly wasn't expecting much when I tried this mascara, but this mascara has truly surpassed my expectations in every way possible 🌟
This mascara doesn't smudge or flake and looked great all day! Love the fact that this mascara is infused with care extracts that nourish my lashes, leaving them looking healthier and more vibrant with each use 🌿
What really stood out to me was the wand💖 With one coat it gave me volume and length, giving me a soft glam look with perfectly separated lashes. With a second coat, it amps up the drama while still keeping my lashes beautifully separated. No spider lashes! 🕷️ The bristles effortlessly capture each lash, coating them evenly without clumping. I've tried countless mascaras before, this is easily one of my favourites.
And the packaging? It's YSL, so of course, it's luxurious and chic✨ Pulling it out of my makeup bag feels like a little moment of indulgence each time.
Overall, I can't recommend YSL's Lash Clash waterproof mascara enough! If you're looking for a mascara that exceeds expectations in terms of performance, longevity, and style, look no further. This one's a winner!🏆

I recently tried the AVEENO Stress Relief Body Scrub and found it to be a solid product, deserving of a 4-star rating. Here's why:
Gentle Exfoliation: This scrub is exceptionally mild and gentle, making it ideal for those with sensitive skin.
Subtle Scent: While it claims to have a lavender scent, it's quite subtle. Great if you prefer milder fragrances.
Stress Relief: The stress relief promise fell short for me. The product didn't deliver the expected relaxation.
In summary, it's a reliable choice for sensitive skin, offering gentle exfoliation. However, if you're seeking a strong lavender scent, serious stress relief, or a stronger exfoliation, you might want to explore other options (Or use a loofah with this product!).
