I like the formula of this product. It's very lightweight and it has kind of a gel texture. It absorbs very nicely after a Iong day. It hydrates my skin through the night. I think serums are an important part of a complete skincare routine, so I'm going to stick with that one. Sensitive Skin approved!

Urban Decay Face Bond Waterproof Foundation

I love the packaging! I find that the small tip helps prevent overflowing (I'm clumsy!). As for the formula, I like that it lasts all day, the application is #1 and I don't need to apply powder or anything else on my skin afterward. My only downside is that it makes my skin very dry so I have to moisturize it adequately first!

I have a hard time with serums usually because they turn my skin red very quickly. I found that this one doesn't make my reacts. It hydrates and absorbs quickly into my skin. I haven’t found that it makes my skin glow right away per se, but it helped making it look healthy. It is a nice work in progress!

AVEENO® Calm + Restore Body Wash
This product foams nicely and has a smooth finish. I have sensitive skin so I tend to put body washes aside when buying shower procucts because they are usually too harsh on my skin . The bottle is also a nice size, so it will last a while.

I know this is a luxury product. I know. But I always like to compare the quality-price of the makeup I try. For 61$ + taxes at Sephora, I would not buy it personally. Let me explain. The packaging is super nice, it feels heavy and sturdy. The quantity of the product is also amazing. The formula? Not so bad, it's buttery, it's nice. But it really doesn't last long and I didn't feel like my lips were THAT MUCH hydrated after wearing it. At all. And I'm not even talking about the shades because they have various ones that could fit my skintone better, so this is not a complain! I've seen them on other girls and they look amazing! I just wouldn't pay that much for a product that just isn't that worth it, sadly. There are much more affordable products out there. -

I have always used AVEENO products (cream, shampoo, cleanser, sunscreen) since my boys were born. I find it gentle on their skin and I love the little oatmeal smell often associated with their products. During the winter months which are not only cold here, but also extremely drying on our skin, I noticed that my boys had small dry spots on their thighs and legs. It's subtle, we have to pass our hands over their skin to detect the change in texture under our fingers. We then started to cream them much more often and more generously with the creams we had at home.
Then we received this jar of Aveeno! My first impression of the texture... it's weird! A bit like a mixture of vaseline and... sugar creaming (like the royal icing you use to decorate!)! The feeling and visual is oily, it's definitely not a traditional cream texture. I was worried it would be sticky, but after the initial application it seems like it absorbs quite well into the skin. Due to the texture, I would still prioritize applying it after the bath, before bed. Just to make sure you don't stain your clothes during the day! But I already notice a nice difference after just a few days of constant use! The rough ezcema spots have become smoother or non-existent and as a result, it stings my little ones much less. I know that there are different degrees of ezcema and I am in no way a specialist in the matter, but I would be tempted to have friends who have babies who are very affected by ezcema try it. It certainly can't do any harm.
Final note:
Less fan of the texture, but nice results so far!

Very voluminizing and buildable! It gave me amazing results with just 2-3 coats! It isn't clumpy at all and lasts all day! Very nice water proof technology as well; I had to use a litte oil to take it all off. Lastly, the packaging looks very fancy!
Generally very nice, but a little more than I like to pay for my mascaras.
