Makeup + Perfume
1. ❤️ Catrice True Skin concealer – love this stuff. Very lightweight and has decent coverage. However I did notice that this particular concealer has a lot less product than most other concealers (just FYI)
2. ❤️ Rimmel Stay Matte setting powder – this girl served me well for many years 🫡 not a big fan of the packaging/separate lid, but I may repurchase after I make it through all the rest of my setting powders. It’s a good one!
3. 😐 Colourpop pressed powder blush in Foxy – I liked this blush enough, but there were tiny flecks of shimmer/glitter that I wasn’t a fan of, and this color was just sliiightly too orange. (I did have a tiny bit of product left around the edges that I scraped into another container to create a frankenblush )
4. ❤️ Essence satin touch blush in 20 Satin Love – this blush was great! The texture was nice and the color was beautiful, and of course the price is right. If they could fix their packaging, it would make this perfect. I have sooo much blush I still need to get through so I won’t be purchasing anytime soon but maybe when I get to the day when I need more… 🙂 (I did have a tiny bit of product left around the edges that I scraped into another container to create a frankenblush )
Skincare
1. ❤️ Juno Skin clarifying cleansing powder – I loved this a lot!! It was a fun experience to be able to start out with a powder and turning it into a foamy face wash. You could also customize it. Some people add milky toner to it instead of water. And depending how much liquid you add could also make it more or less exfoliating. All around I am a face wash powder lover!
2. 😐 Hero Force Shield Superbeam sunscreen – this worked fine, but the tint was finicky and sometimes looked a bit orange. This sunscreen is discontinued though so I can’t buy it again anyway (however I do have one more backup that I’m going to use up next)
3. 😐 LilyAna Naturals rosehip & hibiscus eye cream – this was a basic, very thin eye cream. I loved (at the time) the huge size for the price. But I’m here to tell you this is too big for eye cream lol. I much more prefer a gel cream consistency for my eye creams so I ended up panning the remainder of this on my face
4. 👍🏼 Dr. Jart Ceramidin skin barrier serum toner – actual bottle not pictured because I decanted into an airless pump a while ago. This stuff lasted me FOREVER. I really enjoyed the consistency of it and may repurchase in the future, but I have a ton of other serums/toners/essences in my closet that needs to be used up and I feel like I may find something I like just as much at a lower price point.
5. ❤️ Medicube PDRN pink peptide serum – absolutely loved this stuff! The texture was perfect. The color was fun. No fragrance. Made my face so so soft. Already repurchased!
6. ❤️ Medicube TXA Niacinamide 15 serum – loved this stuff so much. I love a dewy makeup look and this helped keep me fresh and dewy but NOT oily! 🙌🏼
7. 😐 Skin1004 Madagascar Centella tone brightening capsule ampoule – this was alright. I wasn’t a fan of the little beads in the serum or the plastic packaging (felt cheap)
8. 😐 Yeouth pure hyaluronic acid – this was fine, but also it is suuuper old and it sat nearly finished for a few years now 😅 so I finally finished it! I found a new one I like better
