As a busy mom, I’m always hunting for makeup that makes me look more awake without feeling like I’m wearing a lot. This was my first time trying the Erborian CC Cream in Medium (gifted), and I did not expect to like it as much as I do.
It comes out light and creamy, then as you blend it in, it adjusts into a natural tint. On me, Medium evens out my tone and softens redness without covering up my skin completely. The finish is fresh and glowy, not greasy, and it feels comfortable all day, which is a big deal when I’m running around nonstop.
What I love most is how effortless it is. I can apply it with my fingers in under a minute, skip foundation, and still look put together. It also sits nicely under a little concealer and does not get weird or patchy.
If you like “my skin but better” coverage and want something quick, lightweight, and reliable for everyday, this one has been such a win.

As a busy mom, I am usually skeptical when I try a new moisturizer because my skin can be picky. This was my first time using the Erborian Centella Barrier Cream (gifted), and I started reaching for it because my face has been feeling stressed and tight lately from weather changes, not enough sleep, and just life.
It feels really comforting the second it goes on. The texture is rich but not heavy, and it melts in instead of sitting on top of my skin. I was worried it might feel greasy, but it did not. It left my skin feeling hydrated and calm.
I have been using it morning and night for about a week, and the biggest change is how much less irritated my skin feels. The redness I usually get around my cheeks and nose looks more toned down, and I am not getting that dry, irritated feeling by mid-day. It also layers well under makeup, which matters because I do not have time to deal with pilling when I am trying to get everyone out the door.
I love that it is one simple step that makes my skin feel more balanced and comfortable. If you are new to barrier creams or your skin has been acting up, this one is an effective product for that.

I have an oily scalp and usually need something that really cleans without tipping my hair into that dry, stripped feeling. I started using this shampoo when my scalp felt congested and uncomfortable, and it’s been a nice balance between refreshing and gentle. The cooling sensation is noticeable right away and makes my scalp feel clean and refreshed after every wash. My roots stay fresher for longer, and I don’t feel the urge to wash my hair as frequently. It cleans thoroughly without leaving my scalp tight, which is something I struggle with when using more clarifying formulas.
If you’re very sensitive to cooling ingredients, the tingle might take some getting used to, but for an oily scalp it feels genuinely soothing.

With an oily scalp, I’m always cautious about conditioners feeling too heavy at the roots. This one is lightweight and easy to work through the lengths of my hair without weighing it down. It helps smooth and detangle while keeping my hair soft and manageable, especially on busy days when I don’t have time for extra styling. My hair still feels light and clean after rinsing, with no greasy residue. That said, if your ends are very dry or damaged, you may want to pair this with a deeper treatment occasionally, since this conditioner focuses more on balance than intense moisture.

I’ve used plenty of body oils before, but most either feel greasy or don’t hydrate enough. This one is different—it absorbs beautifully and feels silky without any residue.
My skin stays soft all day, and the almond scent is so comforting. It makes my post-shower routine feel like a spa ritual, plus I’ve noticed my skin looks more radiant and smooth, almost instantly.
I would buy this product again because the quality and results make it worth the investment especially for anyone who struggles with dryness or just wants their skin to feel extra pampered, perfect for self- care moments!

Okay, I did not expect to love this as much as I do! At first spritz, it’s a juicy burst of black cherry—bright, slightly tart, and super addictive.
But then… it melts into this soft, creamy vanilla with a touch of floral that makes it feel warm and wearable rather than candy-sweet.
Longevity? Surprisingly good! I sprayed it in the morning, and by late afternoon, I could still catch whiffs of that cozy, slightly musky dry-down.
It’s not overpowering, but it lingers beautifully—like the scent of your favorite sweater after a night out.
The best part?
It’s not just a fall/winter scent! The way the cherry and floral notes balance out the creaminess makes it totally wearable for spring too.
Imagine this with a soft pink dress, dewy skin, and a warm breeze—it’s effortlessly fresh but still has that addictive, cozy touch.
Would I repurchase? 100% YES. Bonus points for the clean, sustainable ingredients and eco-friendly packaging!

The scent reminds me of a combination of watermelon and cucumber which is so refreshing yet subtle at the same time.
It is the perfect spring scent for me. It smells fresh, clean, and subtly crisp, reminiscent of a cool and refreshing breeze on a warm day. It carries a gentle green aroma with hints of sweetness, akin to freshly sliced cucumber and watermelons on a cutting board.
The scent was long lasting on me despite it being water-based and a little goes a long way. There was a nice projection although it was a roll on travel size and I love that it is a non- polarizing mild scent which can be unisex. Just the perfect refreshing skin scent.
Overall, I loved the Clean Reserve Waterfall scent so much and will be rating it a 5/5!

MY EXPERIENCE:
PROS:
No- brainer device to heat up wax pods.
Simple and easy to operate.
Does not require batteries and is reusable. Thus, LESS WASTAGE!
Efficient and effective in heating wax pods.
Heats and melts the pods quickly without being too hot.
Does not have a weird burning smell or smoke coming out of it lol.
Easy storage because of its small size, perfect for personal home use!
CONS:
You have to find a safe power outlet to plug it in.
Chord may be a tad short.
A little effort for clean up because you have to wait for the wax to harden before cleaning it.
OVERALL RATING: 5/5
The Parissa Natural Waxing Set has upped the hair removal game for me. I’ve always used wax strips and while they are very travel friendly, well, I always wax at home anyways lol. The best thing I love with this kit is that there is definitely less wastage and there is no down time after waxing. There is also less irritations and less pain compared with using epilating foams and creams. This is truly a game changer!

MY EXPERIENCE:
PROS:
Non- irritating and there was no fragrance even when melted
Melts easily using the Mini Pro Wax Warmer
Applies to skin smoothly using the wooden spatula
Cools fast into a solid strip that can be easily grasped
Removes hair effectively, even fine hairs adhered to the strip
Convenient and very malleable when heated and can be formed into different shapes like a clay depending on the area of use!
Less wastage because you use it as it is unlike using wax strips which is more wasteful.
Travel- friendly and economical because you just have to bring the number of pods you need during travel, the spatula, and the mini electric warmer.
Compared with using tweezers, epilators or wax strips, this was less painful.
Compared with using less natural options like foams and creams, this was less irritating and I did not have to deal with itchy skin after.
CONS:
You have to work fast in spreading the wax on your target area before it hardens.
You have to use it with the mini pro wax warmer and wooden spatula ALWAYS of course!
You have to be careful with the correct consistency of the wax before applying on your skin. It has to be clay- like malleable and test the temperature first, or else you will BURN if wax melts too runny or liquid- like.
