I just knew that this product was overhyped, but man, is it good. I’ve seen the Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Firming Moisturizer reviewed and loved by so many skin care lovers and beauty lovers that I just thought it was
I had high hopes for this product, but it’s not a dupe for the Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen…respectfully. I was excited for the ELF Skin Invisible Sunscreen products, and I think it was really hyped on social media because it’s trying
This product is a Holy Grail for me and I continue to buy it over and over again. I use the Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen as my SPF coverage, and I also use it as a makeup primer, regularly. It has
I don’t think this moisturizer is a dupe, but I still enjoy using it. This ELF Holy Hydration Moisturizer is one of an entire line that ELF Cosmetics has released under the ELF Skin line. All of the products I’ve
You can tell this cream is fancy and expensive, but it’s way too heavy for my combination skin. I’ve received the La Mer Moisturizing Cream a few times as free gift with purchase or samples for the past few years,
I’ve been using this product for so long, but only on my body and I will not be putting this on my face in the future. So the Nivea cream has been one of my favorite body care products for
I’m surprised! I may like this product better than the expensive version it’s duping. The TonyMoly Watermelon Dew All Over Serum ($14) is supposed to be a less expensive dupe of the Glow Recipe Watermelon Dew Drops. But I think
I see why this product is so loved, but I don’t need it in my collection. The Holy Grail, Viral, OG Glow Recipe Dew Drops ($35) have been in my collection for quite a while but I almost never use
I like this primer better than the ELF Power Grip, and the ELF is really good so that’s saying something. I received a NYX Plump Right Back Primer + Serum ($14) sample as a free gift with purchase from Ulta
Update: My sample was definitely an old product, the color is completely different than the brand’s product photos. I’m leaving this post up to remind myself that I did try the product and will try it again in the future.
Remember that time where you used an expired product? Yep, me too. The Kiehl’s Powerful Strength Line-Reducing & Dark Circle Diminishing Vitamin C Eye Serum $59 (why such a long title?!) is a very thin, lightweight formula that dries down
I’m shocked at how “glass skin” this moisturizer is without being greasy. The Glow Recipe Plum Plum Hyaluronic Cream Moisturizer is a highly moisturizing glass skin effect moisturizer that has a thin, almost jelly like consistency. As an oily combination
This lip balm has a lavender shade that makes my lips look cold. This Blistex Lip Infusion Revive Balm is one of, I believe, three in their lip infusion line. Each lip balm has a different vibe to them. The
This eye cream feels like an ointment…thicker than I like for my eye cream. I love Kiehl’s, and I recently received this sample as a free gift with purchase from the Kiehl’s website. This eye cream can be applied to
This is the longest title for a moisturizer and the greasiest finish. I was so excited about this moisturizer when it was released. I LOVE the Clinique Moisture Surge line (which includes 2 different moisturizers, a cleaner, etc.) and wanted
This is a $43 product, but it feels just like a good drugstore moisturizer. I expected this product to give my skin maximum moisture AND be soothing as it was advertised, but I didn’t really get any of that. It’s
The Sunday Riley B3 Nice 10% Niacinamide Serum (full size $65) is a great addition to the brands’ growing skincare line. In the beauty world, if a skincare brand doesn’t have a niacinamide product they would be missing out on
The Clinique Take The Day Off Charcoal Cleansing Balm ($38, full-size – 4.2 oz.) is a very interesting product, but does the Japanese charcoal do anything for this product? I’m not so sure, but I’ll share my thoughts on that.
The KOA Life Vitamin C Lip Treatment is a $23 USD peptide infused, vegan, and “natural” lip product that is supposed to fade dark spots, smooth fine lines and “protect against environmental damage”. I received a full size version of
$95 is a lot of money for a good but very mid-eye cream from a brand we don’t hear from a lot, right? The Neolastin Revitalize & Firm Eye Cream retails for $95 USD (25 ml) and is available on
I’ve been using Garnier Micellar Waters ($10-$12) for over a decade and continuing to buy it in big sizes, small sizes, travel sizes because it really is an all in one product. It’s a great cleansing water for all skin
The Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel SPF 50 ($16.99) is a popular Korean brand sunscreen. K-beauty brands are known to have really moisturizing, and seamless sunscreens, but they’re not always the best for dark skin. So, I wanted to
The Clinique All About Eyes Cream Eye Cream is very hydrating! I like that it works well with concealer and other makeup. I don’t notice any additional creasing or greasiness from using the eye cream under makeup application. All about
The Fresh Beauty Rose & Hyaluronic Acid Deep Hydration Toner ($46) is an essential part of my skincare routine. I love this product because it is thin enough to be paired with other products, but still gives my face hydration.
I noticed the new Covergirl Clean Fresh Color Correcting product line on a Pinterest advertisement and then later I saw a TV commercial for it. Strangely enough, I hadn’t seen any beauty influencers talk about the product. It’s an interesting
I remember this product being advertised differently in the past, and I’ve used a sample of it years ago but I didn’t like it very much. At the time, I felt the formula was a little sticky and smelled almost
I love this product! It is a staple in my morning skincare routine. I always incorporate serums to target dark spots in my skincare routine. I find that this the Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution as well as the
I’ve purchased the Hero Cosmetics Niacinamide Lightening Wand a few times already. I consider it a must have product for lightening dark spots, which are common for me after a breakout. Its effective! I use it mostly at night before
