Ouai Detox Face Cleanser

Ouai Detox Face Cleanser - this face cleanser has a signature Ouai Cape Town scent. The bottle looks aesthetically pleasing in the bathroom, and I love how smooth the pump is! You can press it down all the way or halfway, and it’s just effortless! I think this cleanser will work great for both morning and night routines. It leaves skin clean, soft, and refreshed without overdrying. The scent is mild and disappears quickly. I’m sure it will last a long time since I only use half a pump at a time, and the bottle is pretty big. Would definitely recommend trying it!

Amika Mirrorball shampoo and conditioner

Amika Mirrorball shampoo and conditioner 

The shampoo works well when used with matching conditioner, but by itself it’s a bit drying on my hair. On the second day, my hair feels more oily than usual, and it also weighed down my hair. The smell is not pleasant, but it doesn’t last long. I recently found out that it has been recalled due to having some kind of bacteria. Therefore, I’m not going to continue using it. 

I like how the conditioner works - it leaves hair smooth, shiny, and voluminous. It worked great paired with the matching shampoo as well as with my regular shampoo from a different brand. The smell is a little different from the shampoo, it’s much more pleasant in my opinion. The only thing - it needs to be rinsed really well, otherwise it will leave a film on hair. 

Innbeauty Project Sephora Birthday Gift 2026

Innbeauty Project Extreme Cream Moisturizer - this is a rich, deeply hydrating face cream. The finish is glowy and sticky to the touch. Since my skin type is oily, it doesn’t really suit me at the moment. I think I will continue using it during colder months. 

Innbeauty Project Bright & Tight Eye Cream - this eye cream is almost like a light tinted moisturizer with micro glitter that creates a very glowy finish. While it felt comfortable on the skin, there was one time when it, for some reason, migrated into my eyes, and it made my eyes cloudy and irritated. I will continue using this eye cream but only on days I’m wearing makeup. 

Innbeauty Project Elastic Skin Serum - this serum has an interesting light purple color. It absorbs fast and it doesn’t leave any stickiness. It feels comfortable throughout the day, but in general, I didn’t notice any significant difference or improvement. 

All three products have a very unpleasant scent. I’m glad I’ve tried this brand as a part of a free birthday gift from Sephora, but I won’t be purchasing full sizes.    

I Dew Care Morning Dew Sheet Face Mask

I Dew Care Morning Dew Sheet Face Mask - I received this mask as a gift with purchase from Ulta Beauty. The material of this mask felt cheap and thin, and it wasn’t very comfortable to have it on my face. On the good side, there was plenty of liquid left in the bag that I continued to use daily as a serum. It was enough for over 1 week of use. The serum itself is moisturizing and non-sticky. 

Patrick Ta Major Skin Hydra-Luxe Luminous Skin Perfecting Foundation

Patrick Ta Major Skin Hydra-Luxe Luminous Skin Perfecting Foundation - this foundation leaves a beautiful finish - luminous and smooth. It blurs pores and imperfections and overall makes skin look flawless. But I think it’s more suitable for dry and dehydrated skin, as it feels sticky and a little too dewy on my originally oily skin. The shade 11 Golden was a good match for me.

Clarins Roll-On Deodorant

Clarins Roll-On Deodorant - this is an antiperspirant and deodorant that applies easily and dries fast. I like that it doesn’t leave white marks on clothes. The scent is very subtle and it doesn’t interfere with my perfume. I like using this deodorant mostly during colder months, that’s when it works best. During summer, I usually need something stronger. But this deodorant does a great job keeping underarms dry and odor-free.

Clarins Hair Therapy Shampoo And Conditioner

Clarins Hair Therapy Le Bain Expert Fortifying Shampoo and Le Soin Flash Expert Smoothing Flash Conditioner - first of all, both of these products smell divine! It is truly one of the best haircare scents on par with Oribe. In terms of effect, the shampoo has a light, milky texture that lathers very well. After just one wash, my hair felt squeaky clean and looked smooth and shiny. Unfortunately, it seems like this shampoo is too drying for my scalp - it felt itchy until my next wash. 

The conditioner left hair silky smooth, shiny, and voluminous. It worked great overall, and I might consider purchasing the full size of it as well as other products from the haircare line.
