Renergie H.C.F. Triple Serum Eye is soo good. I like the whole range but I am really focused on skincare around eyes. And this one is amazing. Reducing the wrinkles and hydrates the skin. It really makes the dark circles less visible - which is like a miracle to me. I like the packaging and how it applies as well - mandatory with a little massage :)

As promised here is my refy concealer review. I have only seen ADs reviewing this so here are my unsponsored thoughts! I got shade 5 which I think is perfect for me, cool undertones but not too light! It actually gave more coverage than expected and looks super smooth under my eye. Not dry at all like a lot of concealers (I have dry skin!). It has a natural finish so for those who HATE powder, I think you could leave it. However, I set it with my usual huda powder and it looks great!! The brush is super soft under the eyes and blends out the concealer super quickly. I don’t think £18 is a bad price considering you get a dual ended brush. Overall I need to keep testing and see the wear time but it looks great and there’s no flashback. I have attached some close ups and flash photos below!

Lash Idole mascara from Lancome is amazing - I love the length it gives and the deep black color. Brush is really good, separates lashes and makes it easy to apply 😍 And the packaging is sooo elegant - just look at it 💙

I was gifted a sample of this product and was impressed with how sheer it felt on my face. It left my face smooth as if I’d applied primer, not sunscreen; however, after spending the day in the sun, I was left without a burn. Sun protection that acts like a primer exists!

Just submitted my review I hope it worked as I had to do it through as the website wasn't working🤞 Great powder! When I first received the powder I realised how much I loved the packaging as it is very travel friendly with the extra layer of protection to make sure the powder doesn't leak. The powder itself is so lightweight on the skin and doesn't feel heavy whatsoever. I sometimes feel like with powders I can feel if I am wearing them on my skin and it can feel quite heavy especially on the eye area so I was very pleased that this one didn't. The powder wore well throughout the day and I noticed a huge difference in the wear time of my base makeup which is a big plus. I would say if I just applied it with a light setting brush then it wouldn't last as long as if I went in with a powder puff. When I needed to reapply the powder throughout the day I did struggle to apply it without it going cakey although this could have of course been due to the base products I used so I would bare that in mind if you are someone who gets oily a lot. I really like how fine the powder is milled it gives a very smooth appearance to the skin. As someone who doesn't wear foundation that often I wouldn't know if it blurred the pores on my cheeks but where my concealer was on my nose it completely blurred them. As I have a light skin tone I obviously can't say if this works on deeper skin tones but as someone who is quite pale the shade works well, as some powders I have used that are named as 'universal' can actually be quite orange. Compared to my go to pressed setting powder I felt like this was really good for setting the entire face but not as good for under eyes as it can become cakey. Although saying this I thought it was an extremely good powder I would repurchase and recommend in the future

Corporate work day essentials. The Haus labs lip glaze is great for on the go, I have the shade guava and there’s no need for a mirror to apply. Hydrating and a pretty colour. The milk perfume is amazing, so many compliments and it lasts all day!

My review on the One/Size Ultimate Blurring Setting Powder (finally 😵😅) Having some issues with the Sephora site this week so had to submit elsewhere for now. ---------- I've been using this for a few days now especially with this hot, clammy weather we've been having and as a standard loose powder it works for what I require from such a product: reduces shine, sets my base nicely, doesn't feel heavy or cakey nor does it leave my pores looking like concrete that's been left out in the baking sun for months with no relent. As far as the blurring effect I didn't notice any difference no matter how much I built up application. The formula is lovely and light due to its finely milled processing and is better applied to my skin using a medium sized fluffy eyeshadow brush to buff it in - I don't tend to use a lot of powder so a smaller brush is ideal. I would appreciate more of a colour choice in the shade range personally. The shade I have: 01 Translucent is good enough for my skintone as it blends well and leaves no white cast but a shade or two darker would be ideal for the summer months when I may be more tanned or just want to add a little colour to my skin. Packaging-wise, as much as I like the casing with it's flip-up inner lid I have trouble releasing any powder through the provided shaped holes and when I do release some it can get messy therefore wasting product which is a shame. P.S. Alongside cruelty-free and vegan, I adore the fact this setting powder is gluten free! for those of us whom, in many different ways, cannot tolerate gluten it is appreciated that a cosmetic brand is bearing this in mind and being proactive. Well done Patrick Starr, and thank you! ❤ *I received this product for free as part of the Sephora Community.*
