  • Hydrating botanical formula
  • Lightweight oil texture
  • Reliable locking bottle
  • Noticeable morning glow
  • Pronounced earthy scent
  • Visible yellow‑orange tint
  • Small perceived bottle
  • Slightly greasy finish on skin

Taylor of Brooklyn reviews assert the brand works: its face oils reliably hydrate and absorb without clogging pores, though many users note a strong natural/earthy scent and a yellow-orange tint. Reviews praise travel‑secure locking bottles, lightweight non‑greasy textures, and noticeable morning glow, but call out scent intensity and small perceived bottle size as drawbacks — useful context for buyers deciding if a scented, botanical night oil fits their routine.

  • I tried this at night after serums and before retinoids. It helped keep my skin moisturized and glowy. I didn't see any dramatic results, but the company sent me a sweet personalized note with my purchase which was really thoughtful. I think it's a bit spendy for me personally, but I really like the ingredients rose hip oils and sea buckthorn. It's definitely oily, but these are lighter on the skin than say, olive oil would be.

  • I really liked the oil, some of my other facial products are acids and harsh on my skin around my mouth so I used this oil whenever I had dry patches. I would love to be able to try some of their other products, but the price is quite high

  • I want to start by saying I really enjoy the branding and the packaging of this product. It made me laugh and I always need a laugh. The product itself goes on smooth and is very nourishing. I am happy I got the opportunity to try this because it is doing great things to my parched skin!

  • My skin has really benefitted from an addition of a regular oil at night, and I tried out this one and don't dislike it at all. I have a more favorite face oil, but that mostly comes down to personal preference around scent I think. This oil has a very natural, earthy scent, so if you have sensitive skin that is affected by fragrance, I think this could be a great choice for you! Functionally, this feels very hydrating, but still light. I will say, the packaging arrived a little messed up with these air bubbles under the label on the bottle.

  • I really liked this facial oil, I use it around once a week for some hydration. It’s not sticky and I use some moisturizer on top then finish w spf and I like my skin. It feels so healthy and hydrated. Also LOVED the packaging

  • I'm really enjoying All Day Slay. The glass packaging feels high end and the product is just as good. I love how lightweight the oil feels on my skin. It really does give a lovely glow and it has a nice light smell -- nothing too heavy in fragrance. It is still a bit too early to judge any significant differences to my skin texture, but I could definitely see myself repurchasing.

  • I have gotten the chance to try “Thirst Trap” for a week now and I really like it so far. I love the extra hydration. I am interested to see how my skin likes it after a few weeks. I also love the packaging, witty name and brand.

  • This is a great product for my nightly routine, I used this product in the night with my facial massager, it was smooth and I product sink in well without any break outs the next day. The reason I gave this a 4 star is because, the smell of this product is not to my liking so I started using this combined with some of my other night serums. I would suggest making some changes like using an additional essential oil for mild fragrance instead of parfumes.

  • My face tone is combination and I've been looking for a product to give me that good feeling and glow. Taylor of Brooklyn has All Day Slay and it gives me balance and protection. I love that it's fragrance free because I can use it around my eyes. All Day Slay leaves my face feeling refreshed with a beautiful glow. The combination of the oils is perfect to help heal my face .

  • Solid product overall. I love the packaging and the pump. I have acne prone skin and after a week of using this I have had no break outs. I use 2 pumps at night and I wake up with moisturized, glowing skin. It absorbs into my skin quite fast as well. The texture reminds me of a dry oil and smells somewhat earthy, like dried flowers or tea. Once you rub it in you don't really smell anything. I definitely recommend this for people that experience dry skin on those frosty cold nights.

  • The facial oil works great. It’s very thin and runny, one full pump is enough to cover the entire face. It leaves the face a bit greasy though. But I find my skin smooth and soft in the morning. I use it every other night, and I use my regular moisturizer on the remaining nights. Over all, I like it.

  • I must admit that at first, I wasn't too sure I'd like Thirst Trap. My very first thought when I saw the bright orange bottle was did the Vitamin C already oxidize?!! (those who use Vit C serums will understand lol). Hopefully the color is just due to one of the oils in the ingredients. I also have a small pet peeve of seeing new products not looking full, I understand that they contain the same fluid oz as advertised but that empty top layer is simply visually bothersome when purchasing a new item (yes, I'm picky). The first night I used it on top of a light moisturizer and the following morning the skin around my nose felt tight and needed a thick moisturizer. The following night I switched to a hyaluronic acid moisturizer prior to using the face oil and it turned out to be the best combination! My face is moisturized and glowy in the morning, I am thrilled and now love the product!

  • I was super excited to try this brand. I purchased the All Day Slay facial oil, and I love it. It gives my face a nice glow without looking greasy or sweaty. The product came in cute packaging, and even included a handwritten note, which I though was sweet!

  • I found my purchase experience from Taylor of Brooklyn to be very charming. From the confirmation email genuinely asking for feedback to the handwritten & personalized note included with the order, I found everything to be very sweet. I also appreciated the inexpensive and FAST shipping options. As for the Thirst Trap oil, I love the natural scent and how easily it absorbs into my skin! I apply it at night and my skin feels lovely when I wake up. And I find that one pump covers my whole face and neck so it should last a long time. My one note is that the bottle and label seem slightly cheap when you consider the price but overall I'm a fan and have already recommended this company to my friends!

  • I bought the thrist trap oil and it’s great. Truthfully, I threw the box out before reading the instructions, but I’ve been using it as the 3rd step in my 4 step nighttime routine - cleanse, serum, thirst trap, and squalane. I think it would work well as step 3 or 4, aka the hydrating ingredient or the seal at night. The smell is forest-y, nice, and the oil itself has a strong yellow undertone, which is actually fine for night. I am really impressed with the bottle. It locks really well. I brought it on a flight this week and had no issues with leaks. It feels reliable.

  • The Thirst Trap face oil has saved my skin from the overzealous furnace! I bought this oil in late Jan to deal with some real parched skin. I have been using it for about two months now. My skin is hydrated, smooth and glowing. I am a 46F, with combo skin and some fine lines. This formula doesn't make my t-zone oilier, absorbs quickly, and softens my fine lines with hydration. The best part is no clogged pores -- that is sometimes the trade off for hydration! Lovely and smart formula. The shipment came with the sweetest handwritten note too -- wishing this young company well. They are making a great product.

  • I've really liked using this product!! I loveeee a good serum and the thirst trap is really great! I was a bit weirded out by the smell at first but that immediately faded. I've been using this every night before I moisturize and I can tell the difference that my skin feels less dry when I wake up in the morning. I love an orange tint because it adds some color to your face which for the winter months - pleaseeee give me all the color back in my skin! I was nervous of how long this would last - but one pump goes a long way! I would repurchase this for sure!

  • I have drier skin so really try to moisturize well every night. The Thirst Trap oil is wonderful- soaks in beautifully, isn’t too heavy but really feels nourishing. There’s no artificial fragrance, and it smells sort of fresh, vegetal and grassy - in a good way. Love all the botanical ingredients and that it’s a woman and black - owned small business.

  • I am traditionally not an oil user but this has convinced me. It is a little thicker than a plain oil which I really like. It has a unique smell- not bad but I can't place it. It feels so hydrating though and when I wake up I do feel like it really soaked in. It also has a yellow/orange tint to it, which is a little weird but almost makes me look tan so that's fine! Also no one sees it as I am using at night so it''s fine. I would repurchase!!
