OLEHENRIKSEN Banana Bright Eye Cream

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😉

Blithe Patting Splash Mask Energy Yellow Citrus And Honey

Blithe Patting Splash Mask Energy Yellow Citrus And Honey - my favorite mild exfoliator for cold season! I like using it in the shower. After cleansing, I pour a small amount onto my palms and then apply it to my face while it’s still wet. Wait 1 minute, then rinse with water. After 1 week of using it daily, I already see the difference - skin becomes smoother, brighter, and clearer. Skin tone is more even. And the best part, this effect lasts for about 1 month! So approximately, I use this mask for 1 week each month. This is definitely one of the best skincare products for me, and I will continue repurchasing it!

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze Brow Styling Wax

Anastasia Beverly Hills BROW FREEZE Brow Styling Wax - I received this brow gel in the Sephora Favorites set. After using it for a while, I think it is more suitable for professional use. It’s best to be applied using a clean brush every time or use a spatula to scoop it first, then distribute using a brush. If you try to use the same brush over and over again, it gets too messy and difficult to apply. I also found it’s not easy to control the amount every time I dip the brush in the gel. If it’s too much, it ends up looking white and clumpy. It’s simply too much effort for a regular daily makeup look. It’s not travel-friendly to me either. It does give a laminated effect, lifting brow hairs and keeping them in place, but I still prefer regular tube brow gels better. 

Fable and Mane Smooth and Shine Hair Oil

Fable and Mane Smooth and Shine Hair Oil - this is a leave-in hair oil that is supposed to strengthen hair, smooth frizz, and work as a heat protectant. It seemed too thick initially to use it as a leave-in, so I decided to try it as a pre-wash scalp treatment. And it worked amazingly! It was easy to rinse off (it took me 3 washes, but still!), and it left hair smooth and shiny like I just had a salon treatment. The little bottle was enough just to use one time. Next time, when I get this oil again, maybe I will try it as a leave-in oil, but as a scalp treatment, it sure works wonders!

Lancôme Renergie Yeux Lift Multi-Action Ultra Dark Circles Correcting Eye Cream

Lancôme Renergie Yeux Lift Multi-Action Ultra Dark Circles Correcting Eye Cream - this eye cream has a silky smooth texture that feels very nice under the eyes. It’s fragranced and it’s very noticeable. It leaves the skin looking plumped and feeling hydrated. Unfortunately, I didn’t notice any difference using it, and after a while I started experiencing irritation in the corners of my eyes, so I had to stop using it. I’m glad I tried it, but it didn’t work for me at all.
