This product line’s slogan is “colour of a lipstick, slip of an oil.” Formulated using six types of nourishing oils, but without parabens and without phthalates. It is marketed to have up to 24 hours of hydration.
Color 44 Nude Lavalliere is an iconic pink nude. It is really light. Putting one layer barely shows any difference, but putting on more layers is too pastel for my skin tone. Thus, this colour specifically is not my pick.
In terms of the texture is quite smooth; it isn’t sticky. It is indeed quite hydrating. Lipstick do need to be reapplied after eating and drinking.
Overall rating: 3/5
I like it in general, but my use of it would likely be a normal lip balm. There is a light shine to it, which is pretty cute.
Given the price, it isn’t going to be worth buying. I am intrigued to try different colours that is darker and more vibrant.

Colour 150 Nude Lingerie is a warm nude pink; it is roughly the colour of my natural colour. I suppose it cannot be more accurate to call it “nude”. There is a light shine to it, but not overly glowy! I think this might be a good replacement of my regular lip balm on the days when my lip isn’t as coloured as usual, and can help make me look having better complexion!

Given the skin had gone through the acne treatment at night, it is crucial to especially protect skin during the day with sunscreen. This seems to be one of the main purpose of this product, aside from trying to absorb excess oil.
I appreciate the mineral sun protection attempt, but I can’t find myself liking it. The texture is very thick. It is very difficult to blend on the face, leaving white streaks on my skin.
Given that my face is combination skin, it isn’t too oily other than the T-zone (which is under control with the exfoliant and the PM moisturizer). I would skip out on this product. Instead, just put on your own favourite sunscreen and go enjoy the sun ☀️

This is a nighttime moisturizer, containing Niacinamide, Ceramide, and
Hyluaronic Acid; concentrated of each is unknown.
The consistency is lightweight water-gel. It is also fragrance free, so it is natural to have a very faint odour from the ingredients - it is kind of what you’d imagine a clean clinic would smell.
I have applied on my entire face, following the usage of the clarifying exfoliant (which was only on the T-zone).
The product gets absorbed quickly. This does immediately reduces the initial dryness discomfort. My skin wake up feeling quite hydrated.
For the price of $10.48 (as listed on Walmart), I’d give another thumbs up for recommending to pair with the clarifying exfoliants for a radiant rejuvenating skincare regimen!

This is an alcohol-free leave-in formula for daily use. The product advertised to be helping with clearing out breakouts and minimizing pores.
Luckily for me, there had been no breakout on my face this week. Thus, I was unable to speak for how fast it clears breakouts.
To ease my transition into using new skincare product, I’ve only used it every other day on my oily T-zone. The following review is my own feedback based on this usage.
✨✨✨
The texture of the product is like a toner - light-weight and liquidity. There is no added perfume, and it’s natural scent is very faint, which I liked for sensitive skin concerns.
On the first day of using the product, I have applied a thin layer on my entire face. The blue algae and antioxidants is supposed to calm irritated skin and to help with redness, but it had severe tingling on my cheeks. The burning feeling went away around an hour after use.
I believe this might be due to the potent active ingredient of 2% Salicylic Acid. For the rest of the week, I have only applied a thin layer on my T-zone (oily) and skipped out on the rest of the face (dry-normal).
After the third use, I can visibly see the blackheads have been cleared on the tip of my nose, and the skin seems to smooth and shinny!
I think I’d continue using this product for this purpose, and just need to be aware of not getting onto my sensitive cheeks (which doesn’t need it!)
I’ve read on other reviews that this helps clearing out blemishes too. I have a couple old acne scars on my body that I will try starting next week as well! More review may come on this end after a consistent treatment!
For the price of $10.98 (as listed in Walmart), this product seems to be well worth it! Thumbs up for recommending to try if you have oily skin (or portions of oiliness)

Since my face hasn’t have any breakout recently. I decided to test out its other popular use - armpit odour control! I use a coin size amount to wash both sides of my armpits each day, and I’ve noticed significance reduction in any odour next day (even without using deodorant)!

The bottle is made with 100% recycled plastic (BPA-free container)!! Great to see efforts put in to turn plastic waste into something functional again.
The deodorant itself is aluminum-free, paraben-free, and dermatologist tested. The packaging also says there is no artificial fragrance (a natural blend of rose and vanilla - soft and not overpowering)
Another ingredient of note is aloe vera juice. It has a smoothing and calming effect on sensitive skins, making this a gentle and non-irritating deodorant.
Overall, the product seems to be meeting everything it promises to. It protects against underarm odours and dampness. Long lasting feeling of refreshment. It should be suitable for everyday use for all ages!

This perfume is alcohol-free, paraben-free, and made with clean ingredients; a tick for anyone with sensitive skin concerns.
Fragrance profiling:
Immediate sweet nectarine scent and hints of chamomile. As it settles, I smell apricot-peachy/honeyed, with lingering musky/woody/amber scent. The fruity/floral combination reminiscing a tropical summer!
This water-based roll-on fragrance was convenient to directly apply on the skin. I was able to roll onto the inner side of my elbow and behind my knees. The scent to last around 1-2 hours only; though bottle is very portable for reapplying throughout the day. I have only used it for a day, but I imagine it might be used up quite fast due to the constant need of reapplication! This could get costly - depending on how much I will be needing it.
Overall it is an enjoyable product, that I would recommend to people who likes the convenience this roll-on water-based perfume and are concerned about skin sensitivity. However, I think I will likely not be purchasing myself due to the incurring cost.

I love swimming outdoors in the summer, and I’ve tried several reef safe sunscreens that are physical blocks in the past years. Most of them tend to be difficult to blend out on my skin, leaving a grease trail on anything I’ve touched.
I’ve tested this mineral sunscreen on my normal work day. The texture of the lotion itself was more liquify than I had imaged. It was quite easy to apply, and left no white streaks! There is a light transparent shine on the skin, which felt moisturizing and not oily! It did not cause any irritation or break out from wearing it all day!
This is labeled for broad-spectrum defence against UVA and
UVB rays. Great for preventing long-term skin damages, avoiding chances of skin cancer and skin aging.
This Blue Lizard sunscreen might have just became my new favourite, especially for the outdoor swim days. It fits all my criteria:
- oxybenzone-free
- octinoxate-free
- paraben-free
- non-comedogenic (no clogged pores)
- fragrance-free
- water and sweat resistant (up to 80 minutes)
I am really looking forward to trying in the water this upcoming summer!
I wholeheartedly wish anyone who loves outdoor activities to give this a try! Let’s make the world/ environment better, while keeping ourselves safe! 🌍

The Aveeno Restorative Skin Therapy Repairing Cream has been perfect as my hand cream as of lately. I’ve have been having very dry hands and peeling cuticle skin from the constant hand washing and the constant use of alcohol sprays. I put a little extra on my cuticle / fingertips. The cream is quite moisturizing and non greasy. Very gentle and doesn’t sting on the sensitive areas where my skin peeled off.
Occasionally I'd put some cream on my elbow and knee to keep the skin from getting flaky. Definitely perfect for the winter.
Would highly recommend! Thank you to Chick Advisor for the chance to try this Aveeno product in exchange for my honest opinion!
