As an oily/combo skinned gal, I was already a big fan of the All Nighter Setting Spray. Honestly, once the weather gets hotter I rarely wear mascara, due to the transfer, and most makeup melts right off my face within a few hours. So for me, just getting through the day without my eye makeup looking like Courtney Love in the Hole days is progress. While I nostalgically adore grunge makeup from the 90's, it's not the look I'm going for as a 50+ woman in the workplace.
Yesterday I tried this setting spray for an all day work event, mostly outside in the baking sun. I liberally spritzed this all over --- I liked the instructions to spray in an X formation and a T formation. Why have I never thought of this before? I'm a circle spritzer :) My full face, including mascara and a very sparkly eyeshadow did not budge. I always need to touch up with powder here and there, but I had zero makeup meltdown and I'm pretty impressed. Will continue to test this over the hot humid Ontario summer.

Lancôme Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Serum Eye

First impressions are great! I can't wait to see what the longer term results look like. For reference, I'm turning 52 this year --- aging gratefully... but not always gracefully :)
Texture is light, but very hydrating. Inci list looks very promising - Vit C, Niacinamide, Ferulic, Peptides and a smidge of caffeine.
Packaging has a unique design where ingredients are separated until you pump them out for maximum efficacy. I love a little science in my skincare. This product layers on itself really nicely, which is amazing for those days when the eye bags are bagging.
My undereyes feel smooth and hydrated. Product worked well with makeup and undereye concealer - no pilling.

Just received this new Armani PRISMA GLASS Lip Gloss from @butterly to test and give my honest opinion. .
HERE'S WHAT ARMANI SAYS: Prisma Glass coats lips in maximal shine and hydration in just one swipe to enhance and smooth lips, while delivering a sheer wash of dimensional color. Its ultra-comfortable non-sticky texture melts into lips to give them a pillowy smooth look. Enriched with 15% plant-based squalane, this oil-in-gloss formula provides 24 hours of moisture* and helps improve lip texture overtime. Lips look healthy and bouncier.
.
HERE'S WHAT I THINK: First impression is stellar! This is a lovely, sheer gloss... not at all sticky. I've had it on my lips for close to 3 hours now without reapplying, but it doesn't feel think or goopy. I'm trying the colour Candy Halo, which is gorgeous sheer pink with a hint of warmth. I'll report back on the hydration and longevity... but so far so good!

I received this primer free for testing purposes from ChickAdvisor and was thrilled to try a new green primer. My skin has combination tendencies and my typical primer is non-green with 'silicone-y' smoothing and pore filling properties. I liked this primer, but the performance wasn't enough to make me swap my Hourglass Mineral Veil Primer.
The Nude by Nature Perfecting Primer has an interesting scent, akin to KFC wet wipes (lemony). The product is nicely hydrating, absorbs fairly well and makeup applies nicely over top. I didn't get the longevity from this product that I do from my other primers, but I did enjoy using this. It felt great on my skin.

Knorr Selects Tomato, Basil & Garlic with Volanti Pasta
This one was surprisingly good. I do find the portion size a bit small for a family. Tasted just fine... super easy. No complaints from the peanut gallery. I served it with meatballs which was a great success.

Knorr One Skillet Meals in Steak & Peppers Brown Rice and Quinoa
We liked this very much... no steak here so I added chicken. Seemed to work just fine. This is simple and tasty... my only criticism is that the portion size was too small for my giant family.

I very much enjoyed this lip balm... and it is the coolest looking lip product I've ever owned.
It has a great, light feel on the lips... not too heavy... but still hydrating. My children are fighting over it... it's just too cool. I see some eos stocking stuffers in their future,

Zoella Beauty Le Fizz Fragranced Bath Fizzer
Both my daughter and I having been using the Zoella Beauty Le Fizz Bath Fizzer in Macaron. The scent is gorgeous but not too much... it leaves your skin soft. We will definitely be repurchasing.

Since I received the Real Techniques setting brush, I have used nothing else!
This brush is amazing for setting undereye concealer with powder and to lightly powder other areas like chin, and tip of nose. i love a dewy face, and this brush helps deposit the perfect amount of loose powder exactly where you need it. This is my first Real Techniques brush but will not be my last.
