How To Glow

Biolage Volume Bloom Shampoo and Conditioner

Biolage Volume Bloom Shampoo and Conditioner - I receive these mini bottles from Ulta as a gift with purchase. I love the smell of both products, it’s very pleasant. However, the conditioner didn’t impress me, it leaves my hair looking shiny but flat. The shampoo leaves hair clean, refreshed, and it adds a visible volume, so hair looks good even without the conditioner. I’m planning to purchase the full size of this shampoo👍🏻

Tatcha The Texture Tonic

Tatcha The Texture Tonic AHA Liquid Exfoliating Treatment - this toner is supposed to even out skin tone and texture, and it’s intended for combination and oily skin types. I like that it absorbs fast without any residue or excessive stickiness. But unfortunately, while it didn’t make me more oily, I noticed that every time I use it, my skin becomes even more textured compared to before. It also seems to clog pores. I’m still glad I tried it, but I wouldn’t recommend it for those who have oily skin and large pores.

Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Eye Cream

Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Eye Cream - I purchased this eye cream based on positive reviews, but unfortunately, it didn’t impress me. It feels moisturizing under the eyes, but I noticed that it doesn’t absorb well and leaves white streaks or residue on the skin. Other than the basic moisturizing effect, I didn’t notice any other advantages. I’d finished this jar and mostly likely I won’t buy it again.

ILIA Balmy Gloss Tinted Lip Oil - review and photos

ILIA Balmy Gloss Tinted Lip Oil in the shade Only You - I received this lip oil in the Sephora Favorites Set. Shade Only You is described as a neutral nude, while in reality it’s more like a light peachy-pink shade. The formula does feel like lip oil, but it’s too thin at the same time. It doesn’t apply evenly and it tends to emphasize lip lines. The smell and flavor are also not pleasant. I wanted to like this lip oil, but unfortunately it’s just not for me.

Azzaro Forever Wanted Elixir - review and photos

New Azzaro Forever Wanted Elixir⭐️ This fragrance is something different! It’s fruity, mildly sweet with a light leathery base, and at the same time it’s masculine. It’s very addicting and I don’t get tired of smelling it. However, I wish it lasted longer. The bottle looks and feels gorgeous! I think it would make a great gift for those who like light, not overpowering, fragrances😉

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze Gel

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze Gel - I like the overall look and design of this brow gel - the packaging is soft-touch and feels expensive. The brush is unusual - it has a combination of short and long bristles on opposite sides. Unfortunately, the formula of this gel is disappointing. It’s stretchy, once I take the brush out I have to make sure to wipe the excess product off. It started to leave a white residue almost immediately. I can’t apply more than one layer, otherwise it’s turning into a mess. Also, it smells like alcohol. I will finish it but won’t purchase it again and won’t recommend it.
