Carolina Herrera La Bomba Eau de Parfum

This is a very intense fragrance with prominent tropical fruit notes. It’s bright, juicy, and extremely long-lasting. It’s perfect for summer if you like tropical beachy kind of scents. After dry down, it reminds me a lot of Ouai St.Barts scent. I would say they are pretty identical. 

It’s not my favorite overall because of its very strong projection. I simply get tired of it by the end of the day. Even the next day, I can still smell it on my clothes, and, for some reason, it becomes even more annoying and starts to smell like dill pickle juice😅

I recommend trying a sample before investing in a full size to see how it would perform on you😉

Ouai Hair Oil

A staple product in my hair are routine. I like that this hair oil is non-greasy and fast-absorbing. I apply it only on hair ends right after wash. It helps keep hair soft, smooth and tangle-free. I especially love its scent: “It's scented with Rue St. Honoré - a French-inspired fragrance with notes of violet, gardenia, and white musk” - it’s addicting and adds an extra enjoyment every time I apply this oil. A forever favorite♥️

Drunk Elephant Amino Rain Glasswater Serum

Drunk Elephant Amino Rain Glasswater Serum - unfortunately, I didn’t like this serum and couldn’t finish even this deluxe size. It provides a decent amount of hydration, and after applying it, there is no sticky feeling. But I don’t like that it contains micro glitter, products like that never look good on my oily skin with enlarged pores. And after using it for a few days in a row, I noticed that I started getting more and more pimples. Definitely, this serum is not the right product for my skin. 

ILIA Limitless Lash Mascara

This ILIA Limitless Lash Mascara visibly lengthens and separates lashes. It doesn’t leave any clumps or flakes throughout the day. It’s very easy to apply and remove. The brush type is not my favorite, though. I find the bristles to be a bit sharp, and if I apply mascara too close to the lower or upper waterline, it doesn’t feel pleasant. But I still enjoy using this mascara while trying to be careful😉

Ellis Brooklyn Apple Love Eau de Parfum

Ellis Brooklyn Apple Love Eau de Parfum - this fragrance is perfect if you don’t want to draw too much attention and only wish to smell nice and feminine. It’s a great everyday perfume for any season. It smells like sugary apple-flavored sparkling water, it’s light and airy. It doesn’t last long at all, but I don’t mind that, usually, I use it when I go outside for 2-3 hours, and the longevity turns out just right for me😉

Petitfée Oil Blossom Camelia Seed Oil Lip Mask

Petitfée Oil Blossom Camelia Seed Oil Lip Mask - this overnight lip mask has a very pleasant scent. It feels thick initially, and a little bit goes a long way. But I noticed that I have to reapply it because after a while it melts and becomes thinner. The Sea Buckthorn Oil lip mask, that I tried before this one, worked much better in terms of longevity and hydration. 

I purchased both from iHerb (affiliate): https://iherb.co/fjpNp6Wd?rcode=CZM4679&utm_medium=appshare

Oribe Shampoo For Beautiful Color

Oribe shampoo for beautiful color - another amazing product from Oribe! I love how it makes my hair look - shiny, smooth, and voluminous. The smell is divine, like always. And the bottle looks and feels luxurious. I can always feel the difference using Oribe products compared to more budget options. This shampoo is sure a splurge, and I can’t wait for the opportunity to repurchase it!

Lancôme Absolue The Serum

Lancôme Absolue The Serum - another luxurious product from the Absolu line! This serum is silky smooth and intensely moisturizing. It does smell like alcohol for a few seconds, but I didn’t notice any skin dryness that usually happens when I use anything with alcohol. I used this serum as an overnight moisturizer and enjoyed it every time. I definitely liked how my face looked and felt in the morning. I have no doubt recommending this serum if you don’t mind the price😉

Peach & Lily Glass Skin Refining Serum

Peach & Lily Glass Skin Refining Serum 

Peach & Lily Glass Skin collection products have been a hit or miss for me. Some of them didn’t impress me, so I didn’t have a lot of expectations when trying this serum. Surprisingly, I found myself really loving it! I used it as an overnight moisturizer. I have oily skin, so it provided enough moisture for my skin type, and I didn’t need to apply anything else. I like that this serum absorbs quickly and it doesn’t leave any sticky or oily feeling. In the morning, I wake up with smooth and soft skin. I noticed that the longer I used it, the more improvement I saw in my skin texture. Fine lines and dark spots became less visible. It is definitely refining and clearing. I finished this mini sample size and already added the full size to my wishlist!

Catrice Lip Lovin’ Overnight Lip Mask

Catrice Lip Lovin’ Overnight Lip Mask - this lip mask didn’t impress me, unfortunately. It smells pleasant, the texture is thick, but it doesn’t feel very moisturizing, and I constantly have to reapply it. 

Catrice Glossin’ Glow Tinted Lip Oil

Catrice Glossin’ Glow Tinted Lip Oil in the Shade 020 Drama Mama 

I love how this oil feels on my lips - very comfortable and hydrating, but keep in mind that it’s pH-reactive, and this shade turns into a bright strawberry pink tint💄
