Neutrogena Skin Balancing Gentle Clay Cleanser for Oily Skin Type

I had never tried a cleanser with clay in it, so I was excited to learn that kaolin clay helps to absorb my skin’s excess oil. The cleanser had a light, refreshing scent and the formula lathered well. Although I want to eliminate as much oil as possible, I was happy that this didn’t dry out my skin and instead left it feeling clean and hydrated. My biggest problem spot is my t-zone, and based on my experience so far, I’m looking forward to seeing how this manages my excess oily production in that area! -

This was my first time trying a dry spray antiperspirant. The formula goes on almost completely dry and didn’t leave me feeling tacky. Although I didn’t put it to the 48-hour test, my underarms stayed dry throughout the day. I found the floral scent to be too strong, but I did like that it lasted the entire time I was wearing the antiperspirant. Lastly, there was no noticeable product transfer on my clothes. -

The Night Pressed Serum was unlike any serum product I’ve tried before as I’m used to trying them in liquid form. The formula was thick, rich and easy to apply. I woke up every morning with my face feeling very hydrated and I loved how it made my skin feel smooth to the touch. I don’t mind scented products, but I found this to be too heavily scented. -

This serum is great for daily use, whether it’s in the morning or evening, or both! This is very easy to apply but can get a bit sticky if you use too much. The directions say to use 4-5 drops, but instead of applying all of the product at once, I like to apply it to my face drop by drop. With the main ingredient being hyaluronic acid, I feel like my skin is being moisturized. It’s a bonus that this is unscented. -

My favourite way to use dry shampoo is by applying it to my hair the night before because I’m guaranteed to wake up with refreshed hair, so that’s exactly how I used the new Wonder Woman Dry Shampoo. Like other Batiste dry shampoos I’ve tried, the Wonder Woman version was no different. It absorbed excess oil and left no white residue on my hair. This dry shampoo brings my limp, second-day hair back to life and makes it feel clean right up until the next wash. The scent is bold and flirty, but leaves a subtle, sweet scent on the hair, giving it that “just washed” effect. -

I really like how lightweight this formula is! It has buildable coverage that leaves my skin looking fresh and natural. It applies evenly and blends very well with a sponge. I was impressed with how long it lasted on my skin, especially on days when I was wearing a face mask. I don’t mind the scent of the foundation, but it was quite noticeable even a few hours after applying it, which made me wonder if others can notice it too. The shade was a great match for my skin and truly a neutral colour. I was very impressed by this because most neutral shades still tend to lean to the warm or cool side. -

I love anything with citrus notes, so this fragrance is a true winner! I was pleasantly surprised by the basil as I was worried it would be too earthy, but it’s perfectly balanced with the mandarin to create a bright, fresh scent. I was impressed with how long this scent lasted and didn’t need to reapply during the day. I’m so excited to see how this pairs with my other citrusy perfumes! -
Guerlain Abeille Royale Anti-Aging Fortifying Lotion Toner

The most noticeable effect this has on my skin is that it feels soft and hydrated. I have oilier skin so I was worried that this would cause my skin to feel extra oily, but that wasn’t the case. I typically use cotton rounds to apply toner, but I prefer to gently pat this into my skin using my hands. As cool, dry weather approaches, my skin becomes dull and tired looking, so I look forward to using this over the next few months to hopefully avoid that issue! -

The very first thing I noticed about this cleanser was that it has a thick consistency, which I love! I find this makes application easy as the product stays on your face while you massage it into the skin. The second thing that I noticed was that there's a slight exfoliant in the cleanser, which is a huge bonus because it eliminates the need for me to use a second product to do that job. The exfoliant wasn't abrasive but made my face feel like it was getting the deep clean it deserved and there were no traces of makeup left behind. Overall, the cleanser left my skin feeling refreshed and smooth and it created the perfect base for the next products in my skincare routine! -
Lancome Lash Idole Mascara

This mascara is true to its claim that it’s “lash lifting” because I found it held my curl and lifted my lashes, even when I wasn’t using a lash curler. I wouldn’t say it’s the most volumizing mascara I’ve tried, but it did coat my lashes from base to tip, resulting in significant length! I also really liked that the wand was curved and had rubbery bristles as I find this is the best type of wand to grab all of the lashes for an even application -
