This is a great conditioner for travelling. It does nourish my hair, leaving it silky soft however it took a while for me to get used to using it. The product doesn’t feel like a normal conditioner; so lightweight that I initially thought I wasn’t using enough. You don’t need much, it won’t feel like much while using but it gives fabulous result.

Everist The Deep Conditioning Concentrate Travel Mini
What an amazing shampoo! A little goes a very long way especially for my hair, chin length bob. It lathers amazingly well, cleanse without drying and gives a lovely volume to my hair too. Love this! - Product gifted by Everist Canada.

This is such a pleasure to use especially in the cold winter month. The formula is nourishing with 25% Shea Butter and my hands are baby soft and smooth after application. Don’t let the thick balm texture scare you because it melts quickly into the skin and doesn’t leave any tackiness or residue. Honestly obsessed with this formula and hands down the best hand balm I’ve ever used. This earned a permanent spot in my bodycare routine.

What a lovely formula! Initially I thought this was just an ordinary lip balm but it’s anything but that. The formulation is buttery smooth, hydrating and leaves a sheer soft pink sheen on the lips. I’ve been using it almost everyday, it’s addictive and perfect for my lazy days.
Yes, this is a splurge but worth every single penny imo. Definitely one that I will repurchase.

I got the shade Intense Berry and it is perfection. This deep plum shade is unique to me as it’s not something I’m usually drawn to but it leaves the prettiest flush on me. Bonus, it’s very long lasting (8-9 hours) and doubles up as a lip stain.
Word of caution though, use a pinhead size on each cheek. It’s very pigmented so the tiniest amount goes a long way. My favourite method of application is with a brush, I find it harder to blend with fingers.
I have my eyes on the shade Flaming Red, the formula is just too good for me to only have one.

I wasn’t expecting much but like the headline said, what a pleasant surprise. I used this solely as a body lotion and it kept my skin hydrated throughout the day. Initially I was skeptical as the texture was surprisingly lightweight and it kept my skin soft, smooth and supple throughout the day. Shouldn’t come as a surprise as some of its key ingredients are pro-ceramide, Shea butter and glycerin.
I’ve been using body lotions for more than 3 decades and this is one of the loveliest formulas I’ve tried. Lightweight, hydrating, fast absorbing and lightly scented, this will please the fussiest soul.
Highly recommended!

I absolutely love the face serum so I was excited to see Lancôme expanded the range with an eye cream!
Lancôme Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Serum Eye has the same packaging featuring 3 nozzles with each containing potent anti-aging skincare ingredients; Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C+Niacinimaide, and Vitamin F, augmented with SNK-Peptide. This combo is a powerful blend that targets fine lines and puffiness and I can attest to both.
The texture is creamy and richly hydrating and I’ve been using it twice a day. It didn’t cause any irritation, on the contrary my under eyes are looking fresher and more awake and I definitely noticed my fine lines looking softer.
Honestly I love this as much as I adore the face serum and both will be permanent fixtures in my skincare routine.

Armani truly nailed it with this lip gloss! The formula is lightweight, non-gloppy and hydrating thanks to 15% Squalane. I don’t see many talking about the packaging but this is by far the best lip gloss tube in the market. Usually the opening of my lip gloss gets dirty and sticky with product but this tube doesn’t. It also allows the perfect amount of product for application. It is perfection.
I received the shade 02 Candy Halo which is a soft pink and has the perfect amount of pigment. It’s one of the rare few glosses that my naturally very pale lips can wear on its own.
Highly recommend giving this a try. Yes, the price is a little steep but it’s worth the splurge.

Before I get into it, please note that I have normal to dry-mature skin type so my review comes from this standpoint.
I. Don’t. Like. This. AT. ALL.
Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.
👎 Depending on your skincare or primer, this will pill.
👎 Flat, matte finish.
👎 I used the tiniest amount and the foundation sat on the skin and looked heavy and cakey.
👎 I tried with brush, fingers and wet sponge and the finish was always the same.
👎 This foundation showcased pores and fine lines that I didn’t know existed. The heck….
✨I don’t mind using this as a concealer, a tiny dot here and then to even out my skin.
If you have combo or oily skin then I believe you will love this. I’m on the fence about normal skin, I think this might be too drying. Forget this if you have textured skin, it will highlight all the problematic areas or at least it did with me.
I really wanted to love this foundation, it sounded so promising but this was a flop for me.

I’m a huge fan of YSL Loveshine Lipstick! The formula is a huge upgrade; longer lasting hydration, has the perfect amount of colour and shine and my lips felt nourished wearing this throughout the day.
Shade 44 is the perfect pinky nude. It imparts the right amount of colour on my naturally pale lips, basically a great MLBB. I love this for my no-makeup days when I need the tiniest amount of colour to differentiate me from the walking dead. If I’m wearing a full face of makeup then I just layer this on top of a lip liner and I am good to go.
Highly recommend this formula and I see myself reaching for shade 44 throughout the year!
