Product Reviews

By MsRachaelThomas

I love testing products so you don’t have to!

Back in February, I got to test out the K18 AstroLift Volume Spray thanks to Gloss Angeles Confidential (hence the bottle without a label) and let’s just say this product is now a staple in my haircare routine! Not only does this add volume to the hair, but the volume actually lasts! It also adds a bounce to the hair and makes it look smoother. It doesn’t leave a crunchy feel or make your hair look greasy and you can use it with without heat. I don’t know what magic is in this bottle, but I’m here for it, and highly, highly recommend this product.

Ladies, if you’re not using a Vitamin C serum, start now! Not only do they help with collagen production and to brighten your skin, but they protect the skin against the sun and free radical damage helping to prevent the signs of aging.

You all know that I’m a huge fan of INNBeauty Project, so when they upgraded the formula of their Green Machine Vitamin C Dark Spot Serum I had to try it! The serum now comes in a glass bottle with an airless pump so you don’t waste a drop of product. Plus it now comes in refillable packaging!

I’ve already noticed a more radiant complexion and love how it wears under makeup without any pilling.

I’m impressed. At the end of the day my makeup wore the same on both side and my skin felt equally hydrated. I’ve been using the MCo Beauty all week and really like it!

Clinique Moisture Surge Active Glow Serum Review

This is a lightweight milky serum with 5% lactic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, and Vitamin C that exfoliates, hydrates and brightens for an instant and continuous glow.

I just finished my bottle, and let me say this saved my super dry skin! My skin was extra dry this winter, and none of my normal hydrating products were helping. I got to test out the Moisture Surge Serum, thanks to Gloss Angeles Confidential, and I’m so happy I found this product! It only took three days of using this product for my skin to change. It helped my dryness go away and now my skin looks hydrated and smooth throughout the day. As far as skin brightening, I haven’t noticed a huge difference, as I’ve been using vitamin c for a while, however, I love the milky texture of this product, the hydration it provides, and the fact that it is a gentle exfoliant and appreciate that it is fragrance free. I would recommend this for those with dry, aging skin and will be repurchasing.

OK ladies, I have found an amazing mineral sunscreen. You all know I’m a huge fan of InnBeauty Project and they have done it again with their Mineral Sun Glow. This is a mineral sunscreen with a broad spectrum SPF 43 and PA +++ that protects against UVA, UVB, blue light, and has antioxidant protection. It comes in three different shades, glides on smoothly, leaves no white cast, and wears beautifully under makeup. If you’re looking for a mineral sunscreen that does not leave white cast and feels like nothing on the skin. I highly, highly recommend this one.

I am in the shade, fair medium

If you’re looking for a matte, blurring lipstick that leaves a just been kissed look, then you’ll love these Violette_FR Bisou Balm Sheer Matte Lipsticks. I’m in shade Bêtise.

They glide on smoothly and leave the perfect wash of color on your lips. My lips felt a little dry after a while because I’m used to a glossy look, so I just added gloss over my color. Although it’s not long wearing, I was impressed with the amount of time it stayed on my lips (without gloss on top).

Okay ladies, if you’re looking for a product that will give your skin a glassy glow, sit well with your other makeup products, and not emphasize fine lines and wrinkles, then you’ll love the Haus Labs Bio-Radiant Glassy Balm Sticks!

These are hydrating, multi-use highlighters that can be used on the lips, cheeks and eyes. They’re formulated with 64% skincare, helping to boost hydration, and available in 6 shades.

I absolutely love the glassy radiance these add to the skin, while the stick packaging makes it super easy to apply. The first time I used it, I applied it with a brush over my powder blush, and noticed it did take off some of my blush. So now I apply it straight from the tube and tap it in with my finger, which doesn’t disrupt my other makeup. I’m using the color Glassy Pink Opal.

WIll you be trying these?

I’ve been using this Patrick Ta Blush for a week now, and am obsessed! It blends beautifully and is actually long wearing. I have the color She Goes to The Gym which gives the perfect mauve-rose flush.

Wearing color Mascara Tear.

Overall I’m impressed! Although I didn’t get a full 12 hours of wear, I’m amazed it stayed on for almost 4 hours with eating, drinking and napping before needing a touch up. I did start feeling a little dry on my lips at hour three, but nothing that bothered me too much. Overall I like the texture for a long wearing matte lip color. I don’t love the applicator, but that’s not a deal breaker for me. I would recommend this if you have an event or wedding, but know you will probably want to touch up before the night is over.

Yes, it’s dry skin approved! I’ve been testing this Milk Makeup Skin Tint for a week and am impressed! It’s sits beautifully on dry skin, wears all day, blends perfectly with my other makeup and is buildable. Highly recommend. I’m in shade 6.
