L’Occitane Shea Butter Intensive Hand Balm
As a busy mum who's hands take a beating with constantly cleaning, this hand balm is a lifesaver. It keeps my hands soft and smooth, and really helps prevent any dryness or chapping. - Product gifted by L'Occitane Canada.

Loving these YSL lip balms! They are so hydrating and gives my lips a gorgeous natural shine. Note that the formula reacts to body chemistry, so shade 1B while it applies transparent will turn a nice pretty shade of pink after several minutes. I usually stay away from these pH changing formulas because they turn into a bright garish shade of pink on me usually, but this one is really subtle and actually quite pretty! -

Loving this Armani Luminous Cheek Tint! It is pigmented but blendable, and lasts all day. I initially thought I wouldn't like the shade I received, Rosy Peach, because it looks really orange in the tube, but once blended out, it really lives up to its name of being the prettiest pinky peach shade. It just gives me a natural, glowy flush to the cheeks. I am seriously considering picking up a couple more shades because I really like this formula.

This is truly a tried and true favorite of mine! I have been buying and using this for years. Helps makeup last all day. My makeup looks like it is freshly applied even after a long day. Also helps foundation be transfer and smudge proof. My only tiny complaint would be that I wish the spray bottle deposits a finer mist instead of these large droplets.

Another favorite from L'Occitane. There is really nothing to dislike about this in my opinion. Gorgeous heavyweight glass packaging, long lasting moisture, rich texture. And my favorite thing about it? The refreshing herbal scent which just uplifts my mood. Second only to the Almond line of products in my opinion.

When it comes to skincare Lancome products are amongst my favourite, and this serum is no different. It's moisturizing, non-greasy, and absorbs really well. There is a fragrance that I really enjoy and adds to the whole experience for me. I have been using it for several days now, and while it is too early to tell if it will have any effect on fine lines, it does reduce my undereye puffiness. -

Another lip gloss favorite! I am really loving the thinner consistency of this lip gloss. It's not thick or gloopy and really comfortable to wear. I received the shade 01 Clear, and really enjoying this for no makeup days as sort of a lip treatment, and over matte lipsticks to add a subtle shine. There is no scent to this that I can detect, which is amazing! This product was sent to me in exchange for a review. -

I am really pleasantly surprised! This turned out to be a great long-wearing foundation, I can see myself using this on days I need makeup to last an entire day. I was expecting to not like this given the name, and the claims sounded gimmicky, but it actually did everything it stated it would. Some thoughts after trying this out for several days:
The good:
Lightweight and blends well
It really is self setting! I have to say I was sceptical of this claim, but it really did last all day without setting powder or spray, and is truly smudge proof.
Powder-like finish but not overly matte
Did not settle into fine lines. Wore down really well over the entire day
Love the dropper! Very controlled dispensing and mess-free as claimed. I now want this packaging on everything.
Cons (and why I took awat a star):
I have combo skin and this clings to/emphasizes some dry patches and texture. On the oily parts of my face this foundation is amazing, so I think oily-skinned folks will love this.

YSL LOVESHINE LIPSTICK

I'm really loving these YSL Loveshine lipsticks. They are hydrating, goes on smooth and does not sink into or emphasize lip lines. It goes on sheer but can be built up if preferred. For me it is the perfect lip product for light or no makeup days, to just add a touch of colour to my face. I also currently have it in my purse as my on-the-go lip balm. Personally, I prefer this formula over the Candy Glaze simply because I find it less messy to apply. Shade 44 is a cool-toned pink nude that is just perfect for spring /summer. -

I am really loving this CLEAN RESERVE H2EAU in Nectarine Petal. I have never tried this brand before, but now I am in love! The scent is super light and fresh, with a hint of peaches. I love how the scent is not overpowering at all (my biggest fear with fragrances is that everyone in the entire room can smell it) and how it is perfect for everyday. I am obsessed with how the scent reminds me of clean laundry and floral fields. Also really love the rollerball applicator - it's just so convenient! I just toss the bottle in my purse and dab on a little whenever I want to on-the-go, without worrying about overdoing it, or having to spray perfume and risk the entire room smelling it.
