Recently bought this on a whim due to interest in chemical exfoliants and I am so impressed! It makes my skin feel super soft, doesn’t have any added fragrance, and doesn’t feel harsh on my skin. I feel it’s gentle enough to use every night before bed (at least for me) but also strong enough to do what is advertised. I say use this before bed as it is an AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) and can make your skin more prone to sun damage. A good way to combat this is with a good SPF in the morning. -

Recently bought this product to test out oil cleansing to remove makeup and help my oily skin as well as try out double cleansing. I do really enjoy this product as it definitely does all that. The smell is a little off putting and it definitely feels heavy on the skin, but if you can get past those it’s a really great product. I mainly use this at night, but will use it in the morning if my face is feeling oilier than usual. It doesn’t create a lather or anything like that, but washing it off it looks milky. It’s super gentle but would avoid if you’re sensitive to fragrance, although I find it doesn’t irritate my eyes as it feels that gentle. Overall a great product for oil cleansing -

THIS STUFF WORKS. My only issue with it is that’s it’s messy and can be a little hard to work with (can be clumpy) it can also feel uncomfortable (itchy when drying and a tight feeling) but honestly, the effectiveness of the product outweighs all of that. This will totally ease any acne and control oily skin. My skin type is super oily, so I use this about 2-3 times a week and it leaves my skin feeling so clean. I find it minimizes my pores and lessens my oil production by A LOT. -

So I decided to try out this cleanser on a whim and instantly fell in love! I finally found a cleanser that actually controls my oily skin. This stuff has completely lessened my oil production during the day to the point where my normally greasy face can now go all day without touching up my makeup and only blotting once instead of multiple times! This is a life saver, 100% recommend for all my fellow oily folk who feel like they’re ready to give up or are frustrated with every product they’ve tried to help control their oil. It won’t strip your face and has a mild fresh smell. 10/10 -

Bought this item on a whim at the drug store (approx $10) due to an expected sunburn. This stuff feels so good on the skin and is super moisturizing! It has a nice mild coconut smell that doesn’t last and isn’t overwhelming which is nice compared to most body oils that can leave you smelling a certain way for hours after. It’s super smooth and easy to apply with a convenient spray bottle application. The after result is silky, dewy skin. I’m in love. -

This is best used for a “no makeup” day as it offers nice light coverage but can build to medium. It doesn’t really look like you’re wearing foundation nor does it feel like it. Super lightweight and worked alright on my oily skin (I did need to blot or powder at one point).
My only issue with it is that I feel like you run out of it pretty quickly. Which at around $32 kinda sucks. Other than that I have no issue. Dropper works great, feels great, looks great - needs more product though.

Let me start by saying I wanted to love this. I found the perfect pale shade for me, colour matched me perfectly (shade range is garbage by the way) and bonus - it didn’t oxidize! But it did not mix with my oily skin.
It’s quite thick and basically wears like a mask, it just sits on my skin and breaks up within maybe an hour of wear. I also feel like it clogged my pores. Best I can use it for is concealer and spot concealing for a “no makeup” day - a little goes a long way if you use it like this.
The coverage is great if you can get it to work for you, might work if you have dry skin in my opinion. Also be weary of what primer you use with it, anything too siliconey (not a word I know) or slippery makes it slide off any area of your face. Use with a more sticky base.
Price wise it’s worth the risk if you wanna try it for under $10 - I think when I bought this it was around $7 give or take.

I gotta say, out of all the face masks I’ve tried this one is both effective and relatively gentle (still hurts a bit but no where near that black peeling face mask). It leaves my skin soft and clean feeling after, removes black heads, white heads, oil, and leaves your skin super soft. -

I do like this highlighter and how I can use the single colours on their own or swirl it all together for a decent highlight, I just wish it would pop more. The second light pink is slightly ashy but applied over your face after using setting spray helps. The formula feels both soft but chalky, but overall works well and I’d recommend it for a beginner or as an eyeshadow topper. -

This palette is absolutely stunning and pigmented! The shimmery/glittery shades do have some fall out but apply beautifully with a wet brush, over primer, or on a sticky base. The gold and pinky gold colours are my absolute favourite and I find myself using this palette alone or with other palettes and the pearly pink duo-chrome colour makes the best inner corner highlight for most any look. The only colours that could use some work are the green and black one, but with a wet brush they work perfectly. The textures are so buttery and smooth, 10/10 recommended. -
