I’ve been using the NEOSTRATA Brightening Eye Cream and really like how lightweight it feels. It absorbs quickly and gives a refreshing boost under the eyes without feeling heavy or greasy. I noticed it helps smooth the area and makes me look a little more awake, which is always a plus.
I also really like the ingredients. This company has a good reputation for effective formulations, and this one feels gentle while still being backed by science.
The only small downside is that the brightening effect is pretty subtle. It does make a difference over time, but I was hoping for a bit more visible impact right away.
Overall, it’s a great eye cream that feels gentle and hydrating, and I would recommend it if you’re looking for something that refreshes and adds a soft brightness to the under-eye area.

This wine is rich, smooth, and packed with bold flavors like dark berries, plum, and a hint of spice. Everything you’d expect from a good Shiraz, just without the alcohol! The body and mouthfeel are surprisingly full, making it feel like you’re drinking a proper red wine, not a watered-down version. ’d happily serve this to friends who are non-drinkers, low-alcohol drinkers, or just looking for a great alcohol-free option.

I am honestly surprised by how close this tastes to a regular Riesling. Giesen has done a great job keeping the crisp acidity, fruity notes and just the right level of sweetness. It’s refreshing and well-balanced. It's not too sweet or flat like some other non-alcoholic wines. If you’re looking for something that actually feels like wine, not just fancy grape juice, this is a solid pick. Great for casual sipping or pairing with food.

I've been using Lancôme Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Serum Eye for only a few days, and the results have already been amazing. This powerful formula effectively targets wrinkles, dark circles, and puffiness, delivering noticeable improvements in all three areas. The lightweight and fast-absorbing texture ensures it blends seamlessly into the skin without leaving any greasy residue. Additionally, it provides excellent hydration, making my eye area look and feel refreshed and rejuvenated. I love the ingredients in this product - Hyaluronic acid, SNK peptide, Vitamin C, niacinamide and Vitamin F. The elegant packaging is both luxurious and unique and has an easy to use dispenser. While it is on the pricier side, the visible results make it worth every penny! I'm happy to introduce this product as part of my skincare routine! -

Pros:
- Gorgeous Color: The Georgia Armani PRISMA GLASS LIP GLOSS (02) boasts a stunning sheer, pink shade that complements any look.
- Super Hydrating: My lips feel nourished and moisturized!
- Non-Sticky: This is actually the first lip gloss that isn't sticky! It glides on smoothly and feels weightless on the lips. Feels like a balm but looks like a gloss.
Cons:
-Pricey: It's definitely a splurge-worthy item, but the quality and performance make it worth every penny.
Georgia Armani PRISMA GLASS LIP GLOSS (02) has quickly become my go-to lip product. Not only does it provide a gorgeous, natural, pop of color, but it also keeps my lips hydrated throughout the day. Plus, the non-sticky formula is a game-changer. While it's on the pricier side, the luxurious experience it offers makes it worth the investment.

After using YSL LoveShine in 44, I can confidently say it's definitely a top lip oil.
Positives:
- It's incredibly hydrating, which is great for anyone who struggles with dry lips. The formula glides on effortlessly, leaving your lips feeling nourished and soft all day long.
- Its very hydrating! Great for our Canadian, unpredictable, weathers.
- The formula is so smooth and feels so luxurious!
- The shade is simply breathtaking! 44 is a beautiful pink nude, it really looks like it would be universally flattering across various skin tones.
- Infused with nourishing oils, it actively promotes lip health!
The only thing I wasn't really into (though it may not bother everyone) is its overpowering artificial scent. It smells like peach ring gummies. Initially, I loved it! But it gets overwhelming very quickly and will last for a good 15-20 minutes. While not a deal-breaker for me, it may not be the best option for those who are sensitive to fragrances.
So, YSL LoveShine in 44 is an great addition to your daily regimen. Its hydrating, has a gorgeous color, and lip-loving ingredients undoubtedly overshadow the minor inconvenience of its artificial scent.

This cleanser gave me s a mixed experience, with both positives and negatives to consider.
On the positive side, this cleanser effectively removes impurities from the skin, leaving it feeling tight and clean. For waterproof makeup, you might need a double cleanse to fully remove all traces of makeup from your skin. And, the product size is huge, providing excellent value for the price.
It is heavily fragranced so it may not be suitable for sensitive skin, as it can potentially cause irritation. Additionally, despite being marketed as a foaming cleanser, it doesn't foam much.
Overall, while this cleanser gets the job done in terms of cleansing and offers great value due to its size, its heavily fragranced formula and lack of foaming may deter those with sensitive skin or specific preferences. Personally, I won't continue to use it for my skin, but it may find a place in my routine for washing my makeup sponges & brushes!

Neutrogena's Daily Facial Moisturizer is a great go-to choice for everyday, lightweight hydration.
This moisturizer is lightweight and easily absorbable this moisturizer is. It effortlessly sinks into the skin without leaving any greasy or heavy residue behind, making it perfect for daily use. The fact that it's fragrance-free, paraben-free, phthalates-free and dye-free is also a huge plus, especially for those with sensitive skin.
In terms of performance, I haven't encountered any real cons with this product. However, being someone with combination skin, I find that it's better suited for warmer spring and summer weather. During Canadian winters, I prefer something a bit more heavy as a moisturizer.
Overall, if you're in need of a lightweight moisturizer, have normal or oily skin and have sensitive skin this is a fantastic option.
