Skin Care I have Used and Reviewed
It’s not always easy knowing what to buy with all the choices out there! Here are some of my reviews from the Look Fantastic shop!
Love this! It’s like retinol but gentler and gives you that fresh, glowy skin. Just don’t overdo it—if you use too much too fast, your skin might freak out.
Medik8 Crystal Retinal 6 | LOOKFANTASTIC
Super hydrating, perfect for dry patches. But, it’s pricey, and the packaging is annoying when you’re getting to the last bit.
Drunk Elephant Lala Retro Whipped Cream 50ml - Lookfantastic
A mix between a primer, highlighter, and skin tint. Makes your skin look radiant, but if you have oily skin, it can get a bit too glowy.
Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter (Various Shades)
The best for repairing damage and making hair soft again. But it’s a small bottle, and I always run out too fast.
Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector Pre-Shampoo Strengthening and ...
A total luxury! Makes skin feel amazing, but it costs a fortune—definitely a treat-yourself buy.
Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream 30ml | LOOKFANTASTIC
Smells incredible and makes skin smooth, but it doesn’t actually "firm" anything like they claim.
Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream 75ml - Lookfantastic
Lifts lashes without clumping. It’s good but not as dramatic as I expected—better for a natural look.
Lancôme Lash Idôle Mascara - 01 Black | LOOKFANTASTIC
Helps with frizz and wrinkles, plus it feels SO nice to sleep on
Slip | LOOKFANTASTIC
Makes hair sleek in one pass and doesn’t fry it. Expensive but worth it if you straighten/curl often.
ghd Platinum+ Black Straighteners | LOOKFANTASTIC
A pretty, hydrating balm that adjusts to your lips. Love it for a fresh look, but it’s not super long-lasting.
Tinted Lip Oil | LOOKFANTASTIC
Look Fantastic - Male 40s
Feels refreshing and makes hair look thicker, but results take time. Also, the minty tingle isn’t for everyone
Nioxin Scalp + Hair Thickening System 2 Shampoo
Helps hair feel stronger and a bit fuller, but it’s pricey, and you have to be consistent with it.
Kérastase Densifique Bain Homme (250ml) - Lookfantastic
Budget-friendly and easy to use. Takes patience, but people swear by it. The dropper is a bit messy, though
The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density 60ml
Feels and smells expensive, like a spa in a bottle. The only problem? It’s expensive.
Aesop Coriander Seed Body Cleanser 500ml - Lookfantastic
A proper "manly" scent—warm, spicy, and fresh. The bad? You’ll get hooked, and it’s not cheap.
Molton Brown Re-charge Black Pepper Bath and Shower Gel ...
Lightweight, good for tired eyes, but takes weeks to see a real difference.
Clinique for Men Anti-Age Eye Cream 15ml - Lookfantastic
Non-greasy and works well, but the mint one tingles (not everyone loves that).
Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm (7g) - Lookfantastic
My shopping list at ✨ Ulta Beauty ✨
These are the latest purchases from Ulta, and I thought I’d give you a review of what’s worth buying and not!
This makes my lips look so nice—like a ‘your lips but better’ kind of vibe. It’s moisturizing but not the longest-lasting. Also, let’s be real… it’s expensive for a tinted lip balm.
001 Pink Addict Lip Glow Lip Balm - Dior | Ulta Beauty
If your hair is damaged, this is a must. It actually strengthens hair, not just coats it with silicone. But heads up—it’s not a conditioner, so you still need one. And you won’t see instant results; it’s more of a long-term thing.
OLAPLEX - No.3 Hair Perfector Pre-Shampoo Strengthening ...
This stuff is like magic in a bottle. It makes my skin feel softer and smoother, especially when I wake up. But, it’s definitely pricey, and if you’re expecting overnight miracles, it’s more of a slow-and-steady kind of product. Still, totally worth ...
Estée Lauder - 1.0 oz Advanced Night Repair Multi-Recovery ...
If you want a foundation that’s also skincare, this is it! It has SPF, great coverage, and looks super natural. The only thing is, if you have oily skin, it can get a little shiny, so setting powder is a must. Also, I wish they had a better shade ran...
Light CC+ Cream with SPF 50+ - IT Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
Such a pretty everyday palette! The rosy tones are gorgeous, and the pigment is solid. Some of the shimmery shades have fallout, though, so you kinda need a primer. But overall, it’s a classic for a reason.
Naked3 Soft Pink Eyeshadow Palette - Urban Decay Cosmetics
This mascara creates wide open eyes 👀
Mascara - Makeup | Ulta Beauty
Okay, this moisturizer is so good—super hydrating but doesn’t feel heavy, which I love. It makes my skin feel plump and fresh, but if your skin is super dry, you might need something a little richer in winter. Also, it has a slight scent—not strong, ...
Tula Day and Night cream
For Him - Ulta Beauty
Honestly, this makes hair feel thicker, and it leaves the scalp super clean, which is great. But it can be a little drying, so a good conditioner is a must. Also, you won’t see crazy regrowth, but it helps with keeping what you’ve got.
Nioxin - 33.8 oz Scalp + Hair Thickening System 2 Shampoo
This actually works, but you have to be consistent. Like, once you start, you can’t just stop or you’ll lose any new hair. It’s also a bit sticky, so applying it takes some getting used to.
Flourish Minoxidil 5% Foam for Hair Growth - Virtue | Ulta Beauty
Lightweight, non-greasy, and makes skin feel firmer. It’s a great anti-aging option for guys who don’t want to fuss with a million steps. The only thing is, you need patience—the results aren’t instant.
Protein Booster Skin Serum - Jack Black
This is great for adding texture without making hair look greasy. Just don’t overdo it, or it gets kinda sticky. The scent is strong, which some people love, but it might be too much if you’re not into cologne-y products.
American Crew - Fiber | Ulta Beauty
This wakes up your skin fast—it’s got this cooling effect that feels amazing in the morning. But if your skin is really sensitive, the menthol might be too intense.
Kiehl's Since 1851 - 8.5 oz Facial Fuel Energizing Face Wash
Super precise, holds a charge forever, and feels really solid. The only thing is, it’s a little heavier than other trimmers, so it takes a minute to get used to.
