After trying out this popular Face Bond Foundation from Urban Decay, I have mixed feelings.
Pros:
- This foundation has one of the lightest textures I’ve ever used, almost like a serum that disappears into skin. Im a big fan of how weightless it felt on my skin as if I wasn’t wearing any makeup. A little goes a long way.
- It’s a self setting formula which feels like magic to me. It really feels like I applied powder on my face but I didn’t.
- The finish is matte with medium coverage
- It lasted a pretty long time and looked better and skin-like after a few hours of soaking in oils from the skin.
- The shade range is pretty good and the shade I used was a very close match for me.
Cons:
- The bottle tip is unique but it automatically pushed out a lot of product when I first opened it (I couldn’t stop it, it felt like a waste of a lot of foundation)
- It dries down very quickly so you have to work in small sections
- It emphasizes fine lines / skin texture especially dry patches around my mouth and nose so make sure to properly hydrate and prep skin beforehand. This is not the best choice if you have dry skin
- It’s difficult to layer other cream products on top because the foundation wipes away.

This is a very lightweight but moisturizing body lotion. I’m always a fan of Aveeno body lotions because they don’t feel sticky or tacky on the body. It absorbs almost immediately and the moisturizing effect lasts a long time. Great thing is it’s unscented so it’s perfect for sensitive skin and for people who love layering fragrances as the scent of the lotion will not get in the way of their perfumes. I think this is perfect for the summer! -

This is a good fragrance free body wash for sensitive skin. Even though it’s soap and sulfate free, surprisingly it lathered and foamed well with a wash cloth. My skin felt clean but not stripped and dry after the shower. I didn’t feel the need to rush for a body lotion immediately after. -
YSL LOVESHINE LIPSTICK (44)
Love the hydrating and nourishing formula that doesn’t feel goopy or sticky. It’s a very pigmented lip oil in a solid form. The shade 44 looks washed out on my medium brown skin tone but I can make it work by mixing with a darker colour.

YSL LOVESHINE LIPSTICK (150)
This is a very hydrating and nourishing lipstick which almost feels like a lip balm. It’s not goopy or sticky. It has the perfect consistency while also being highly pigmented. I love the shade 150 on me, it looks so natural and pretty for summer!

I thought I would enjoy this product but for some strange reason this also irritated my skin. Every time I applied it, I could feel a stinging sensation. It contains Niacinamide which is great for controlling sebum and it’s an ingredient I’m used to so idk what’s causing the sensitivity. The texture is a creamy gel and it absorbs into skin nicely.

PanOxyl Oil Control Moisturizer
This is a mineral sunscreen which feels very heavy and gritty on my skin. It does not feel smooth and I could feel particles/pilling while rubbing. The whitecast was not too bad but I did not enjoy the formulation of the cream. - Product received... +

This toner is not for the faint of heart. If you have sensitive skin or damaged skin barrier this will burn and hurt. My skin is very sensitive and started burning/ turning red immediately after application. I had to wash it off and use other soothing products. I would only recommend this for very oily/resilient skin. Next time I will only use it on my nose.

This is a great cleanser if you have frequent breakouts as benzoyl peroxide kills the acne causing bacteria and prevents pimples from forming. I leave this cleanser on for a few minutes before rinsing it off. It’s not the most soapy/lathering cleanser and it left my skin quite dry but that’s how it works. I was very pleased with the results and the fact that it felt quite gentle.

This is a very pretty and expensive mascara but does it justify the price? I’m not sure. This YSL Lash Clash mascara claims to be volumizing, waterproof, smudge proof, heat & humidity proof. It has an almost oversized brush which is great for adding volume and drama but caused me to mess up my makeup a few times. It’s not very lengthening and for my preference it’s too clumpy. The bristles weren’t good at separating the lashes. Although it stayed put the entire time without smudging or bleeding. -
