This is absolutely one of my holy grails of skincare. The texture is perfect, it absorbs so quickly and leaves my skin feeling very plump, hydrated and calm. It heals and soothes any sort of blemishes or irritation basically overnight. If you're a tretinoin user, you absolutely want this in your routine. I'll never stop using this as long as cosrx never stops making it! -

I typically avoid night creams as I typically find them too heavy and greasy. I loved this Clarins one though. It's a much lighter gel consistency that doesn't seem like it would be overly hydrating at first, yet I found it to be so much more moisturizing and hydrating than the majority of facial moisturizer. I didn't experience any sort of irritation and found it to be quite gentle, but if you're sensitive to fragrance you might not enjoy this one as much due to it being fairly heavily fragranced. -

Dr. Oetker Momenti Three Cheese Pizza
I got to try this product in exchange for my honest review. Unfortunately this was a bit of a miss for me. A much crunchier crust than I prefer, and not a ton of flavor. It was also quite small.

I have no idea what kind of sorcery was used to create this wonder water, but my fried, bleached hair is so grateful for it's existence. It's a bit hard to apply due to it being literal water consistency, but it starts getting warm almost immediately upon contact she it's easy to tell where it is. My coarse, dry hair felt like it was almost melting into a smoother, silkier texture, all in seconds! My hair looked considerably better after styling too. I reaaaaally love this stuff. -

*I received this product in exchange for my honest review.
This was my first time trying out a deodorant that isn't also an antiperspirant. It smells great and despite this incredibly hot weather, it keeps me smelling great, although it does nothing for the actual wetness. If that doesn't bother you, then this is a great option.

Revlon Pro Collection One Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer

So these things were impossible to get ahold of. Apparently everyone wanted one and they were sold out across NA. When I finally got my hands on one, I was SO happy I waited and didn’t go with an alternative.
I’ve never been one to be coordinated enough to use a brush AND blow dryer at the same time, so this thing has been a godsend for my volumeless hair. There’s a little bit of a learning curve, but watching a ton of YouTube videos really helped me get the technique down, so I highly recommend doing that if you’re a beginner at this. This also works best on hair that is not dripping wet (which is horrible for your hair anyways), I let my hair dry around 50% before using this.
At $50-60, this thing is a steal. I haven’t touched my flat iron since I got it, which was just not a thing I could do in the past with my frizzy kinda curly hair. My hair is dried and smoothed with just one tool. I haven’t had a chance to use it yet, but this has been compared to the Dyson Airwrap, with many preferring the Revlon.
The absolute only issue I’ve noticed with this is that if you have any metal jewelry in your ears, and have the brush on the hottest setting, be careful because it heats any metal up really fast! I saw a girl get a bit burned by her necklace in a YouTube video for the same reason. But aside from that, I have no issues at all, and will literally never go back to my old ways of styling ever again.

I purchased this mask because I needed a very heavy deep conditioning mask after a slightly drying hair treatment I was going to do. It’s loaded with mango butter and smells phenomenal, think the body shop mango body butter type scent.
In the instructions, you can use this for 5 minutes, or wrap your head for 20 for a more deep conditioning treatment. I loved the way this made my hair smell and feel. Highly recommend!
This mask retails for $26USD, which is why it got a slightly lesser rating. I did find these on clearance at Shoppers drug mart though!

I received this product for free from Chickadvisor in exchange for my honest review!
I absolutely loved this peel! It's gentle but effective, never burns but I can feel it working by the slight tingle. It also smells really nice! My skin is always so soft every morning. You may notice a few flakies in the initial weeks upon using it, but it goes away.
