For the past year I have been collecting all my makeup, skincare, body care, and haircare items. I will share reviews of all items as part of this thread, alphabetically, by section. I am very picky, so most items will receive a middling review! Anything with a * is a favorite that I would repurchase. I have never done something like this before, so I hope you guys enjoy my reviews and don’t be afraid to ask questions about products. I will do my best to answer. As a note, some items were started in earlier years but only finished in 2025.
Top 5 Products of 2025:
-
COSRX: Master Patch Intensive
-
Round Lab: Birch Juice Sunscreen
-
NYX: Bare With Me Concealer
-
Innisfree: Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask
-
Heroine Make: Speedy Mascara Remover

Body:
Arm & Hammer – Ultra Max Antiperspirant: 8/10. Not too bad but I prefer the vanicream. Would not repurchase.
Dionis – Vanilla Bean Goat Milk Hand Cream: 0/10. Broke me out. Hated the smell. Not hydrating at all. Would not repurchase.
Eczema Honey – Antioxidant Body Oil: 4/10. The oil itself was fine. Took a while to soak in but I found it hydrated well. The sprayer though, what a disaster! It literally shoots out like a bullet and
goes everywhere. Would not repurchase.
Esfolio – Tangerine Body Wash: 8/10. Smell was amazing. Texture was like a gel and I did not mind it. I didn’t feel super clean while using it though (don’t know why). Would not repurchase.
Eucerin – Intensive Repair Lotion: 5/10. Too oily feeling. I much prefer the cream version. Would not repurchase (although I bought a set of 2 so I still have to finish one up).
Gillette – Ultra Sensitive Shave Gel: 8/10. Not too bad as a shave gel, however I prefer foam which is why its only at an 8. It’s a relative score. Would repurchase as finding my favorite is very hard.
Hempz – Sweet Pineapple & Honey Melon. 6/10. Way too oily feeling and doesn’t soak in well. But the smell is incredible. Would not repurchase.
Korres – Pure Greek Olive Oil: 6/10. I enjoyed this as a post-shave oil for my legs. The oil felt nourishing and I saw an increase in hydration. However, I hate the grandma scent. Would not repurchase.
*Vanicream – Anti-Perspirant: 10/10. The only deodorant that is on the natural side and does not break me out and actually controls the odor. Have already repurchased.
Brush/Sponge Cleanser:
*Daiso – Puff Sponge Cleanser: 10/10. The bottles cost around $2-3 dollars and work so well. They get my brushes and sponges super clean. However, I find the bottles are used up very fast. Still, with each being so cheap, it doesn’t feel hard on the wallet. Have already repurchased.
