This was too oily for my giant pores and oil leaning skin.

Love the idea of tinted spf, but I swear it instantly clogged my giant pores. Went on nice though. I dont wear foundation and I found it not to be orange after a few hours.

It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s more that it’s heavy. Great barrier cream.

I actually liked this, but I went through too quick considering it’s price tag

They take off eyeliner & mascara pretty easy but don’t count on them to clean your face. I use witch hazel to tone my face and there is always a ton of makeup still left behind.

Pro: it stayed on pretty well. Con: it clogged my pores. It didn’t stand up to hot flashes but otherwise stayed pretty well.

I like that it’s a gel. I think it even works, but it’s so drying for this 40+ face. You may love it.

Smells ok if you don’t mind perfumes. It felt weird on my hair, made it snarly, and staticky as well. Not for me.

I was 100% sure I didn’t buy hairspray. It literally didn’t hold my hair. Strangest thing ever to haopen

Smells great. It made my hair look a little greasy and was very heavy for my thin hair. Would be more suit for those with thick curly hair than think wavy.

This always felt too wet and thick, but I have sensory issues so I think normal folks wouldn’t be bothered by it.

I used to love OPI, it was the only brand I’d wear. But post covid I cannot get it to stay longer than 24 hours on my nails. Nail babes probably know a hack or two.

It’s well crafted, but I wouldn’t say it’s flawless
