My Clarins Re-Boost Refreshing Hydrating Cream - review and photo

My Clarins Re-Boost Refreshing Hydrating Cream - I received the mini version of this cream as a gift with purchase, and I’m so glad! Surprisingly, it’s a pretty good face cream with a very pleasant scent! Many other Clarins products got a very strong perfume scent, but this one is different - it’s light, luxury and not bothering at all. This cream feels refreshing, hydrating and balancing during any season, even hot summer! And my skin type is oily, for reference. Its great for morning or night. I enjoyed using it so much that I immediately purchased a full size!

Kiko Milano Glossy Dream Sheer Lipstick in the shade 204 Warm Rose - this lipstick is not very sheer, but still feels very comfortable on lips, the shade is beautiful with a glossy finish♥️

Charlotte Tilbury Dazzling Diamonds Luxury Palette Of Pops Eyeshadow Palette - photos and swatches

Charlotte Tilbury Luxury Palette Of Pops Dazzling Diamond - one of the most beautiful quads! All four shades are glitter, and they add the most beautiful sparkle and elevate any look! These eyeshadows apply best using finger, and I love adding them on top of other shades or just a basic taupe or neutral brown base. Two brown shades work great as a one-and-done eyeshadows. Definitely a palette that worth trying!  

Laneige Perfect Pair Lip Hydration Holiday 2022 Set

Laneige Perfect Pair Lip Sleeping Mask and Lip Glowy Balm Holiday 2022 Set

This is a two-piece set that includes:

• Laneige Lip Glowy Balm in Berry - I’m not impressed with this lip balm. It got a very thin consistency and it doesn’t last long at all. The flavor is not pleasant and it doesn’t provide much moisture. I will finish it, but won’t repurchase. 
• Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask in a limited-edition Mango flavor - my favorite so far! This flavor smells very juicy and feels moisturizing on lips, I wish it’s permanent!

Laneige Midnight Minis Holiday 2022 Lip Sleeping Mask Set

Laneige Midnight Minis Lip Sleeping Mask Holiday 2022 Set

This set includes a little cute spatula to apply the mask and 5 mini jar 0.10oz/3g each lip sleeping masks:

• Berry - review
• Gummy Bear - this mask smells very yummy, but it’s not very suitable to use overnight as it got a light purple tint and it leaves stains on bed sheet and pillow. Also I found this flavor not to be very moisturizing, I always have to reapply or apply a generous amount so my lips don’t feel dry. 
• Mango - my favorite flavor so far! It smells like juicy mango and feels moisturizing!
• Vanilla - very light vanilla flavor which I don’t mind, it also doesn’t last very long and often I have to reapply almost right away. 
• Mint Choco - this one also got a very light minty flavor, which is very good, because I’m not a big fan of mint. And, just like the previous one, it doesn’t last long at all, sometime I have to reapply it 2-3 times during a night. 

Colourpop Jelly Much Shadow Boo-Kay - photos and swatches

Colourpop Jelly Much Shadow - cream eyeshadow with soft mousse texture. Shade Boo-Kay is light lavender pink. 

I was very curious to try this Jelly Much eyeshadow from Colourpop. But it didn’t really work for me. The consistency is not like regular cream shadows. It can be patchy and difficult to layer. Even when it was new I couldn’t get an even application. Because one layer is not enough, and if add more, it starts to look thick and emphasize skin texture. Shade Boo-Kay looks beautiful on swatches but on eyes it’s pale and nothing special, there is no glow to it.

I read in review that this eyeshadow dries out quickly. Mine didn’t get dry too quickly, but after about a year, I noticed that it’s not soft anymore. I saw people recommending adding a little bit of water to revive it, so I tried this trick, and it worked! First 2 swatches are of dried out eyeshadow, third swatch is after adding water. It still performs like new and the lasting power is the same. So if you get this eyeshadow and worry about it getting dry, just try adding a little bit of water and it will be like new again. 

Nevertheless, I’m not impressed, and won’t be buying any more shades, but I’m still glad I tried it.
