everyday oil is a great lightweight oil that leaves my skin feeling so moisturized- especially on my legs that i find to always be dry and flaky. the scent is a bit muskier than i would normally prefer, but it doesn't linger for long, and it's not offensive whatsoever. i especially love this as a massage oil and it's such a relaxing experience using this product.

gisou is yet another influencer popular brand with great marketing and packaging- i find many of their products to be hit or miss. while i love their whole mission with regards to the bees- for my hair type personally- their honey infused products are just a bit too heavy. that said, their propolis heat protectant is a holy grail product for me, and is amazing at helping to hold curls- i've already gone through two bottles, and i will keep purchasing it for the rest of my life

i discovered yoggu right at their inception, and have been a huge fan ever since. as someone with a sensitive stomach and digestion problems, yoggu has really helped soothe my tummy, and has never triggered any issues for me. it's a plus that it's dairy free, and their strawberry flavour is one of my faves. the amount of recipes that you can use their yogurt in are near endless, and i never fail to recommend this to anyone as a daily treat regardless of the season.

there isn't a single necessaire product that i don't love- their body exfoliators are somewhat gentle yet still effective at exfoliating in a way that i feel as if my skin is left feeling extremely soft afterwards. i also love how relaxing their scents are; it feels just like being at a spa. their body serums and creams are so moisturizing, and being unscented is a plus for those with more sensitive skin.

i'm easily sucked in by glossier's packaging, but i really only love two products from them- their balm dotcom are very effective at keeping my lips hydrated, and their brow flick eyebrow pen is something i've purchased time and time again, as i find it to be quite a unique product.
Feedback
realistically, many of their skincare products are subpar, and while the marketing is amazing, the product itself can easily be found elsewhere from different brands for much cheaper. also, being solely an online retailer makes it hard to test out and shade match products.

ultra violette's queen screen is very unique in that it's a sunscreen serum, which makes layering with makeup and other skincare products very easy. my favourite product from them though, is their lip balm, which is tinted and also contains spf in it. it's super hydrating without being sticky, and i find myself reaching for it constantly throughout the day.
Feedback
their packaging is cute, but i often find there to be issues with their droppers- i struggle to get product out of them at times. there may also be a slight quality check issue as i've received products before with broken packaging (ex: a mini bottle that didn't screw closed properly)

one thing's extracts are very affordable, and come in very generously sized bottles for a good price- i find them comparable to the ordinary in the sense that they focus on single ingredients that target specific skin problems. said extracts are also easily layered with other extracts and serums, and are so lightweight they can be used both day and night.

everyday humans' resting beach face sunscreen is hands down one of my favourites of all time- it is extremely lightweight and doesn't irritate my skin whatsoever. they also sell minis of it, which are perfect for travel. i only wish that it came in something higher than spf30.
Feedback
their usage of DHL as a carrier means that there are hefty duties to be paid every single time, even if it sometimes means that the amount of the duties is nearly more than half the price of the order itself.

rephr's eyelash curler is a godsend- it complements my asian eyes perfectly and has helped me curl my lashes in a way that i never was able to do before, and they now look better than they ever have. they included a few other curler pads, and i love the curler so much that after a week, i instantly went back and purchased more as gifts. the curler pad itself lasted me about half a year, even with near daily usage.

i own a slew of products from hero cosmetics- their rescue balm is a saving grace for helping to heal blemish scars and fading said scars away. it's fairly inexpensive, and you don't need much product for it to be effective. as a plus, it's travel friendly! i also have been using their force shield sunscreen, and it's lightweight, plus their smart idea to give it a green tint means it helps mask and redness you may have.
