Tatcha The Essence Skincare Boosting Treatment - I enjoyed using this serum during hot summer days. It’s lightweight, fast-absorbing, moisturizing, and it doesn’t make my skin feel sticky. I have oily skin type, so I prefer lighter textures during warm months. It worked well, but I don’t see myself buying a full size, since I can get a similar effect using other products.
Gisou Honey Gloss Ceramide Therapy Hydrating Hair Mask - a great hair mask that adds shine and leaves hair soft and smooth. The texture feels more like cream, it’s very easy to rinse, and it doesn’t leave any residue. The scent is very light and barely noticeable. I’m not sure if I would purchase a full size, since it didn’t make much of a difference, other than shine and hydration.
Clinique Pop Plush Creamy Lip Gloss in the shade 07 Airkiss Pop - a very hydrating and long-lasting lip gloss. It is very sticky and I actually love it, because this way it stays on lips for hours, even if I eat or drink anything. The shade 07 is sheer with light gold shimmer, it’s perfect when you want a neutral lip color. I wore this gloss non-stop ever since I got it in the Moisture Surge gift set. I’ve already finished it and am looking forward to repurchasing it!

Cover FX Perfect Setting Powder in Translucent Light - one of the best setting powders I’ve ever tried! I love how seamlessly it applies, mattifies, and still leaves my skin looking natural. It doesn’t emphasize fine lines and overall it feels very natural. Even if I happen to apply too much, it still looks flawless. One of my favorites, for sure!
Clinique Moisture Surge Body Hydrator Lotion - a very hydrating lotion that I like using as an overnight hand cream. It is fragrance-free, and the consistency is rather thick, which I prefer more for colder months. Usually, I apply it at night before bed. This lotion leaves skin soft and intensely hydrated. Another great product from the Moisture Surge line!

I got this Buxom Plump Shot Collagen Infused Lip Serum in a new shade ‘Lingerie’. I’ve tried the original clear Plump Shot lip serum before and absolutely loved it. This new one works just as good, it makes lips look visibly fuller and smoother, but the shade Lingerie is very light pink. I have light skin, and it doesn’t look very flattering on me. I also noticed that it doesn’t apply evenly and it tends to emphasize fine lines. So I would recommend choosing the shade carefully or just going with the clear version. It’s the best plumping gloss!
Lancôme Absolute The Eye Cream - it’s probably the most expensive eye cream I’ve tried so far. It smells and feels very luxurious. The consistency is buttery smooth and it’s more on the thicker side. It leaves the under-eye area intensely hydrated and luminous. It doesn’t really absorb at all, or it could be because of my oily skin type. I think it would work great for those whose skin type is dry. It does feel different compared to regular eye cream, I just don’t feel that I need to use it yet as it’s intended mainly for mature skin.

Nest Crème de Clementine Eau de Parfum - a very simple scent that only got two notes in the pyramid: clementine and vanilla. It opens up with a sweet, freshly peeled clementine, very realistic and juicy. But after drying down, it’s nothing but a gourmand vanilla. It’s like a sweet orange cream in a fragrance form. It smells delicious, but I am not a big fan of “edible” scents to be used as a personal perfume. I would love my skincare, like hand cream or body lotion, to smell like this, but as a perfume, it’s a no for me.
Olehenriksen Banana Bright Eye Cream - eye cream with vitamin C that is supposed to brighten the under-eye area, visibly diminish dark circles, and improve concealer application and wear. It states to be fragrance-free, but I can’t say it’s true, there is a typical scent that all products that contain vitamin C have, and it’s not so pleasant to me. In terms of effect, it is very hydrating and brightening. I used it in my morning and nighttime skincare routine. I didn’t notice any significant improvement, but it worked well as an everyday eye cream. I probably wouldn’t buy a full size because of the smell, and I don’t use vitamin C products regularly, but I would recommend trying a sample before investing in a full size to see how it works for you😉
