I was initially worried the illuminating moisturizer would give me an over the top glow, but thankfully, it was quite natural. I feel like this moisturizer would work best for those with drier skin, as the the consistency is a runny liquid and slightly on the oilier side. I love that Tata Harper is a clean brand, 100% natural and that they do not use synthetics. Their products are also unfragranced, so they do smell rather herbal and hemp-y, which may not be for everyone. -

This brightening serum is the perfect multi-purpose product for amazing, natural glowy skin! This serum has a rather runny consistency, which makes for blending ultra easy. There isn't a ton of pigment to this serum, so it just leaves your skin with a brightened glow! You can either use this serum to prime, as a spot brightener, mix with foundation, etc. I chose to use this to prep my skin before moisturizer and moving onto my look of the day. This left my skin looking brightened with such an amazing glow! The one main drawback to this serum is that is it heavily fragranced. If you know what By Terry's signature scent is like, then you know what this serum will smell like, all the almost over the top roses. Thankfully, the fragrance mostly dissipates after application, but it is strong when you are patting it down on your face! I'll close with this, this product is definitely best for the normal, oily, and combination skin types as this product did feel like it had the potential to be more of a matte finish. For drier skin types, I would definitely not skip on the moisturizer if using this product! -

This water cream is an oil-free moisturizer meant to minimize the size of pores. While I enjoyed how hydrated this moisturizer made my skin feel, I can't say that I really noticed the size of my pores minimized much due to use of this product. This moisturizer kept my skin looking naturally dewy and hydrated throughout the day and felt lightweight. A lot of creams that keep my skin moisturized throughout the day have a tendency to feel heavy and tacky, but this moisturized is not either of those. My skin feels nourished without any sticky residue left behind. And honestly, didn't use a ton of product each application, so a jar would last a reasonable amount of time! This moisturizer is fragranced, but honestly, if I hadn't read through the ingredient list, I wouldn't have known because I didn't smell much of the fragrance. There likely wasn't more than a linger at application. -

This cream is super thick and rich and perfect for ultra dry skin! I live in an ultra dry skin and my skin is prone to dryness year round but especially the winter. This moisturizer is perfect for those with eczema and sensitive skin prone to irritatio , as this cream contains colloidal oatmeal which helps sooth the skin. It is fragrance free, which is perfect, as fragrance is often a trigger for my eczema. -

I have had this kicking around my stash for some time, but hadn't gotten around to trying it out, as I wasn't sure how to work it into my routine and I recalled hearing from a friend how this made her look like a disco ball. The Hollywood flawless filter is meant to be used more like a layer before foundation kind of like a primer! I have used it like a primer and as a standalone product as well because I'm working from home and no one sees me, so why not experiment? This definitely made my face look pretty fabulous looking.. like I had applied filters and autotuned my face. It gave it an amazing natural glow; however, I would definitely caution against using this as a standalone on your forehead. While it looked lovely on my cheeks, it definitely added shine in places I did not want on my forehead. On the forehead, definitely use this more like a primer 😊 The filter isn't super heavy. It feels super lightweight on the skin like it was second layer of skin. The consistency is a runny liquid and can be applied either with your fingers or brush. You don't need a ton of product because a small dot goes a long way. I will preface that I purposely purchased this product in a shade or 2 lighter than my regular shade in Charlotte Tilbury's magic foundation, and I thought it was perfect! -

I love the Laura Mercier caviar sticks! They are super creamy and glide across the eye lid smoothly without a while lot of force. I love using these because they make eye makeup a breeze in the morning.The shadows don't set quickly, so they are easy to blend and multiple sticks can be used to create a look. These sticks can also be paired with other shadows to finish looks! They are perfect for travel and carrying in your purse on the go, as they are just twist up pencil, so no need to bring extra tools, such as eye brushes or sharpeners. -

It's possible that the rollerball I purchased was faulty because mine is so difficult to use. I have used many rollerball type products in my early teens days, and application should be easy. But the rollerball has a hard time rotating and barely any product is released. The only way to retrieve any product is to completely remove the rollerball top! The formula of this gloss is quite sticky and tacky. It applies clear and for the most part, I couldn't detect any fragrance. It is infused with coconut oil, and is quite moisturizing if you can get the product out. -

Of all the thermal water sprays I have tried, the Caudalie one has the most powerful aerosol spray. The water comes out more concentrated than other sprays, and I spray this one farther away from my face. In terms of effectiveness, I feel like this more of less works the same way as other thermal water sprays and can't really distinguish a difference between them. I do like using thermal water sprays prior to moisturizing my face as I find it helps with the efficacy of the moisturizer and keeping the skin hydrated for a longer period of time. One drawback or pro depending how you feel about scented products, is this one is lightly scented and if the product is old, the fragrance does start to go. -

This candle is the epitome of all the notes that remind you of Christmas! All the spices and warmth. This candle feels like it would last forever The fragrance from the candles fills the room nicely. It is quite fragranced, so I imagine it would fill the house with the most amazing smell! Of course, worth mentioning, the decorative glass the candle comes in, is stunning with the gold accents! Perfect showpiece on your mantle, or anywhere, be it the holidays or throughout the year, if that's your thing! -

I often get these eczema patches on the back of my hands from time to time and the frequent handwashing does not help at all. The frequent handwashing often results in dry and cracked hands, which often gets extremely painful! And the eczema patches sometimes get so irritated and itchy that it can go on for days before the irritation dies down.
I am amazed that after applying this cream twice today that my hands already feel softer, smoother, and on the mend! That's more than I can say about the condition of my hands in the last year and a half. I am so impressed that I am seeing such a dramatic difference!
This moisturizer is quite emollient feeling. It contains colloidal oatmeal to sooth irritated skin. And while it is thick, the consistency isn't super whipped, so when you apply this to your skin, it does get absorbed into the skin easily.
