As a combo skin girl I love using Clay Masks. They are perfect to absorb excess sebum, clear and refine the appearance of pores and exfoliate the skin. The only downside is that they can be very drying.
This mask has been a game changer. The texture is creamy, thick and can we talk about the beautiful blue colour?
I use it 1-2 times a week and I keep it for about 10-15 minutes. After washing it off my skin feels nourished, smooth and without any tight or pulling sensation whatsoever. My pores look immediately smaller, and I find it helps in healing pimples faster and avoiding the onset of new ones.
This power mask is a magic blend of Volcanic, French Green and White Clays and it is ꜱᴜᴘᴇʀᴄʜᴀʀɢᴇᴅ with 2% Niacinamide, BHA + Red Willow Bark and Kombucha Black Tea. Due to the active nature of this formula some redness may occur in some people, but I was really happy to see that my skin didn’t react.
I would recommend this product to anyone!! It’s also vegan, cruelty-free and free of parabens, sulfates and phthalates.

This serum has been an amazing addition to my routine!
Our skin needs may change due to the season, age, stress and other external factors, and we often find ourselves rotating multiple products to target specific concerns.
This serum technology is based on 4 actives which are able to respond to specific concerns and in particular helping with hydration, brightness, soothing or fine lines and wrinkles.
I really like the applicator and I just need one or two pumps for my face and neck. The texture is light and creamy, and it takes about a minute to fully absorb onto my skin.
Using it morning and evening, this serum helped with smoothness, redness and hydration, and I never felt the need to apply a moisturizer afterwards.
It has a subtle scent, which becomes almost not discernible once applied. It in fact contains less than 1% of synthetic fragrances, and it is free of parabens, phthalates, sulfates and many other harmful ingredients.
It is also vegan, cruelty-free and comes in a recyclable packaging.
The only downside is that it’s pricey.

I’ve been using this eye cream for about 4 weeks and I’m loving it.
The texture is very lightweight yet deeply hydrating. The product absorbs quickly and didn’t cause any milia.
Upon application my under eye area feels immediately moisturized and smooth, whereas after few weeks, I could see a reduction in my fine lines and more brightness.
The hero natural ingredient is Phytoglycogen, which powers the skin to produce collagen and hyaluronic acid. Other great ingredients include Peptides, Cucumber Extract and Avocado Oil.
Finally, I find that you need just a small amount so a bottle lasts you long time, and this would justify the high price.

I’ll start saying that this was the first time trying Sol De Janeiro products, therefore I cannot compare with the original Bum Bum Cream.
The texture of this lotion is almost gel-like and it left a bit of tacky/sticky sensation on my skin. However, this feeling goes away within minutes and eventually the product feels weightless on my skin. So as long as you use a small amount, you should not experience too much stickiness.
The coconut scent is surely sweet but I have to say it is not overpowering, even if it lasts for few hours.
Hydration-wise, it did a good job at keeping my body skin hydrated for 24 hours.
Also, the turquoise packaging is very pretty and, above all, recyclable.
Would I repurchase? No! I don’t think it is worth the price. There are great lotions out there at a more reasonable price.

This lightweight moisturizer is made of 75% of Lotus Water Extract, which has the natural ability to self-purify and cleanse. Second major ingredient is Kaempferol, which helps restore skin balance and has anti-aging properties.
I would describe the texture as cream-to-gel. It is lightweight, absorbs fast, and I believe this would work best for people with oily and combo skin, or for people who are looking for a lighter hydration during summer.
I’ve been using it AM and PM, and I’m really enjoying it because it provides the right amount of moisture without being heavy on the skin. It also provides a refreshing sensation which is perfect during this humid weather.
After few weeks of usage, my skin appears more hydrated and clearer.
I love the simple and clean packaging, but also the stickers it comes with for a fun personalization.
Last but not least, Lotus Water Cream is 100% Vegan, Hypoallergenic, Clean and made without parabens, artificial colours or fragrances and steroids.

I have received this ampoule for reviewing purposes and this is my honest feedback.
🍯 Formulation: this ampoule contains only 11 ingredients and the key one is 83.25% of Black Bee Propolis Extract, which is a natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory ingredient. It helps heal stressed skin and reduce redness – a feature that for me is always a must.
🍯 It is unscented and has a viscous texture. At first, I found it to be kind of sticky but once I reduced the amount the tacky sensation disappeared – 1 or 2 drops are enough for my face and neck.
🍯 I am happy I was able to test this product for several weeks to really see results. Overall, I have noticed a more hydrated, plumped and glowing skin. It was the first time for me trying a product with propolis and I didn’t experience any irritation or breakouts.
🍯 To conclude, this ampoule has been a great addition to my routine when my skin feels particularly dry or irritated.

Not too little, not too much! This is what Lagom means!
This brand’s key word is balance. They create minimalistic products infused with ingredients that are healthy and nutritious for the skin. This philosophy is also reflected on their packaging, which is clean, simple, and beautiful.
Cellup Gel to Water Cleanser has a gel texture which transforms into water when massaged onto the skin. It is perfect to use alone if not wearing a lot of makeup, or as a second cleanser.
It is amazingly gentle and does not strip my face at all, so it can be used both AM and PM. When using this product my skin feels refreshed, soft and smooth. Finally, it has a light citrus scent which is really nice!
This is one of the best cleanser I have tried so far and I see it becoming one of my Holy Grail!

I have combination skin, with dehydrated cheeks and redness, and this moisturizer is working wonders!
The hero ingredients are Guaiazulene, which is extracted from Chamomile Oil and has powerful calming effects, Ceramides (my holy grail) and Centella Asiatica.
This moisturizer is lightweight and not greasy, and provides an immediate calming and soothing effect. I love using it as spot treatment and when my redness is acting up.

My lips are dry all year round, and sometimes cracked too. I’ve recently started using this lip mask and I absolutely love it. It provides immediate hydration and I wake up with soft and smooth lips.
I like using it during the day too because it provides a nice glossy finish.
Last but not least, the berry scent is delicious!!
It’s a bit expensive but overall I recommend it

I have received Derma•E Advanced Peptides and Collagen Moisturizer for reviewing purposes.
Key ingredients include:
💚 Argireline - a peptide which works in reducing wrinkles appearance
💚 Matrixyl synthe’6 - a polypeptide which helps supporting collagen
💚 Green Tea and Vitamins C&E;to promote youthful-looking skin
I was surprised how the rich texture absorbed completely without leaving my skin greasy. I haven’t used it long enough to evaluate the anti-aging properties, but I can tell that this product leaves my skin hydrated, smooth and soft.
I wasn’t a fan of the scent but fortunately it quickly dissipates once applied.
Overall this product exceeded my expectations and I love that it is cruelty-free, vegan and non-GMO.
