Like the name would suggest, this is a thick body cream. Not yet a balm and definitely not greasy but certainly thick. It still goes into the skin very decently though and very much keeps my dry skin moisturized in this dry winter weather. A good luxurious-feeling body cream.

This delicate fragrance is very much aptly named: at first smell, this smells very much like a dessert. The vanilla cream scent in this makes it smell very much like ice cream or whipped cream. The cherry part of this is much more subtle. There’s no artificial cherry scent in this - just a murmur of a soft and natural cherry scent that is nestled in the sweet smell of dessert.
This is a scent that makes me think of youth and also of spring. It’s sugary and delicate, perfect for matching with that flowy spring dress when you go out on a picnic

I think so far, this is my favorite YSL lippie formula. It’s moisturizing and so so smooth. I really do wish that this particular shade had a bit more pigment though. I feel like the tint is nearly non-existent and personally, I'm a fan of a good tinted lip balm that doubles as a subtle lipstick. This just needs a smidgen more pigment to get it there.
YSL did amazing as always with the design. The YSL logo wrapped around the lippie is so iconic and I absolutely adore the aesthetic.

I have tried quite a few UD products in the past but I don’t believe I have ever had this setting spray before despite how iconic and how long it has been around. I can definitely now see why people love it though! My makeup survived through about 5 hours of being outside - even as it drizzled.
I’d say the spritzer on this spray is moderate - it’s not so fine of a mist that I can barely feel it but also not so watery that I feel like I’m being hosed down. The fact that I can feel it certainly helps my awareness as to whether I’ve covered all areas of my face. And well, I’m not sure anyone likes being hosed down haha.
This little travel size is very compact and would be great for travelling or being carried in a purse for touchups. This could totally fit into a makeup bag or any other small bag.

Honestly, Armani has been killing it with their formulas this year. First it was their Prisma Glass Lip Gloss which feels sooo hydrating and now this beautiful blush that blends so easily with just fingers. I was literally able to just dab it out with my hands - no patchiness at all. This is perfect for those busy mornings or when you just don’t want to have to clean another brush. I only dabbed on a little because I wanted to keep it subtle but you can definitely build this up more!
Rosy Peach in particular is such a pretty colour. It comes out almost neon peach so it looks a bit intimidating but as you can see, it sheers out very well! I think this is a great shade to use for a more understated blush, especially if you’re going for a minimalist look or if you want to keep the focus on another part of your face. But it adds just the right amount of colour to the cheeks to make sure your face isn’t washed out.

There’s just something timeless and beautiful in an understated manner about a good clear lip gloss. It’s subtle but glossy lips make such a difference. I think clear glosses are great where you have a statement eye look that needs to be balanced out with something simple on the lips or when you’re going for a generally subtle look such as for school makeup. This Prisma Glass gives you the perfect high shine for those occasions.
Also, I love love love this gloss formula. We’ve come so far from the goopy mess that was lip gloss when I was growing up. This is non-sticky yet ultra glossy. It’s also incredibly hydrating on my lips due to the oil in gloss formula. It’s effectively a thicker and longer-lasting lip oil.

This formula is lovely! It basically just feels like a lip balm. It’s super hydrating and feels very light on the lips. This is the kind of formula I prefer for work since I tend to get more dehydrated while working due to forgetting to drink water. 44 is an opaque lighter pink shade. Because this shade is opaque, I would suggest making sure your lips are moisturized for this because it can catch on dry patches. This shade leans a bit close to being too light on its own without a lip liner for me. -

Firstly, design. I love how compact this is. It’s a relatively small bottle compared to most foundations but it contains the same amount! 30 ml. Also, love love love the glass tip. It’s so easy to squeeze this out directly onto my skin, if I choose to, in a relatively thin layer.
The texture of the foundation comes out watery but it doesn’t stay that way for long. Once it dries down, this turns to a true powder finish. It’s every bit as self-setting as promised. I will say though, because of this unique aspect of this foundation, I’d suggest making sure your base is super hydrating and that you work fast with this before it sets. Unsurprisingly, since it turns to powder on its own, it is a bit dryer and stays put a bit faster than other foundations. Once it’s set, it’s not going anywhere. My spf stick could not get this to budge at all.
Lastly, I’d say this coverage is probably low to medium. So use this to get more of an evening effect on your face rather than to cover acne. Personally, I like low-medium coverage cause it tends to look less cakey and I can simply go over the spots I want slightly more coverage on with a concealer. I was worried that 04 Fair Cool might be too light on me but it actually worked out pretty well!

First things first, as I have already said, this packaging is beautiful - just like every other YSL product. It’s simple but so sleek. I love that they used a demimatte for the black packaging. It adds to the luxury vibes. And as always, their iconic YSL logo is the perfect accessory on the packaging.
The applicator is a pretty generic one: it’s relatively fluffy and has no unique contours or shapes to it. It works perfectly fine for getting mascara on the lashes. I’ve honestly never really understood all the different shaped ones and their usages.
The formula of the mascara appears to be on the dryer side. I had a little bit of clumping but I do think this did a pretty good job volume-wise. I wasn’t super sure how to feel with the effects of the mascara immediately upon application but I gotta admit I actually really liked it after a while if that makes sense? The clumping seemed a lot worse to me as I was applying. But after a while, I didn’t really notice it and instead, really like the volumizing effect. I will say that this is also one of the better ones for me in terms of durability. I had very little smudging on my bottom lash line at the end of the day. As someone who gets significant smudging with the average mascara, I was pretty happy with that end result.

Firstly, let’s talk aesthetics. As you can see, Clean Reserve kept it really simple for this rollerball scent and only really has a minimalist label. This, along with the blue tint of the liquid, really goes well with the water theme. It’s simple and elegant.
The scent itself is not what I was expecting in the best of ways. I had expected this to smell fruity and maybe a bit sugary based on the name. Instead, this is exactly what I think of when I think of a clean scent - freshly dried laundry with a hint of florals. I don’t actually really smell the citrus. I think this scent would be the perfect accessory for a clean girl and minimalist aesthetic.
One unique aspect of this perfume is that it is a water-based perfume. I was a bit worried about this leaking but it doesn’t and the rollerball glides smoothly. I would say that the scent doesn’t fade away super quickly but also isn’t the longest lasting scent I have tried. Although, I do find that rollerballs don’t last as long as spray bottles so that may also be part of it.
