all panned this year with the exception of the tinted moisturizer and scalp serum.
product list and mini reviews:
1. shani darden hyaluronic acid serum (this was just okay, got it as a training product from work but i would never buy it with my own money. super overpriced. it contains tremella mushroom which is an awesome ingredient thats often found in more affordably priced korean skincare.)
2. dr ceuracle vegan kombucha essence (i really wanted to love this. my skin is normal to dry and i loveee a dewy finish but i still found the ratio of hydration to lipids on this a bit off and it was oily/uncomfortable to wear.)
3. pyunkang yul mist toner (this is like my 5th pan of this product and i will continue to repurchase. it’s soothing, anti inflammatory, and a good hydrating base for products to come. absolutely love.)
4. the ordinary density peptide serum for scalp (i just repurchased this to continue use, i feel like it has made a difference in the lightly thinning spots towards the front of my hair. i also like to keep it refrigerated and use it to soothe my scalp and keep it hydrated. wpuld recommend giving it a try as it’s so affordable.)
5. anastasia beverly hills brow freeze gel (i really wanted to hate this but it’s fantastic. the only thing i recommend over this is the refy brow sculpt gel as it leaves a matte/natural finish whereas abh has a more waxy looking reflective finish. it does hold more than the refy though. i love it because my brows are super stubborn and it gives me the laminated look all day.)
6. inn beauty 10 + 10 moresturizer (probably my favorite moisturizer sold in sephora. good for any skin type but oily folks may find it a bit rich for use during the day. about to open up a full size to continue using.)
7. refy lip sculpt lip liner in the shade fawn (i really wish they made more shades in this liner because the formula is incredible. most long wearing lip liner i’ve ever used and i love the innovative sealing gel component that goes over top of the actual color. have not repurchased as i’m currently trying the new fenty lip liners, which also have a great wear time.)
8. saie slip tint (absolutely love the finish of this, dewy without feeling oily and uncomfortable on me although i have heard contrary reviews from others. includes great skincare benefits and my skin feels better after wearing it. pretty light coverage so i do pair it with concealer in problem areas.)
