Five Star review for this concealer brush!
Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the Albeaut 193 Angled Concealer Brush. My first time buying and using a concealer brush and I LOVE it!!! I usually blend out my concealer with a sponge but I love using this brush instead, especially underneath my under eyes and carving out my brows. It’s very dense and blends so perfectly and precisely! I definitely need a few more of these. And for $6.99!? You can’t beat that price! #albeaut #concealer #concealerbrush #brush #productreview #product #review #amazonfinds #fivestars"

Find out why I LOVE these lippies!
Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ These are the @anastasiabeverlyhills Lip Velvet Liquid Lipsticks. I have this in 3 different shades (Pomegrante, Rosy Mauve, and Softy, all pictured in the order I listed them) and I seriously need all of them!! They’re so soft and velvety (lives up to the name lol) and literally last me ALL day! I can eat and drink and talk all day and it does not budge! Plus it makes my lips feel so soft and they look very blurred, you can’t see my lines or anything. This paired with the velvet liners are literal perfection. I hate that they’re so expensive ($24 a piece, sometimes cheaper on Amazon though!) but they’re so worth it! #abh #anastasiabeverlyhills #lip #lipstick #velvet #longlasting #product #productreview #review #fivestars"

My favorite eyebrow pencil!!
Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the @benefitcosmetics Precisely, My Brow Pencil Waterproof Eyebrow Definer. This is the BEST Eyebrow pencil on the market!! (And I have tried quite a few). The shade range is INSANE! I found my perfect shade (4) so easily!! The tip is so sharp and precise (like the name lol). I love that it’s waterproof and lasts all day. I get perfect eyebrows every time!! It also lasts me quite a while too which I love. I can get two - three months out of one pencil, which is amazing since I use this almost every day! It’s definitely worth the $27 price tag in my opinion! Easy to use and lasts all day. I also love that it has a spoolie at the other end so I can brush out my brows too! What more could you ask for? What do you think? Have you ever tried this before? #product #review #productreview #benefit #benefitcosmetics #eyebrows #eyebrowpencil #pencil #makeup #selfcare #makeupaddict #honestreview"

My review for one of the most loved setting sprays!
Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the @charlottetilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray. I have repurchased this several times trying to love it and I just don’t. I only use it to spray my face in between makeup steps. It seems to be more of a hydrating mist than a setting spray. It does melt my makeup layers together pretty well. This is too expensive in my opinion for how little it works. If I use it I use this with another setting spray at the end of my makeup to actually get it to stay on. It Just doesn’t work very well on its own for me. Have you tried this before? What do you think? #product #review #productreview #settingspray #charlottetilbury #makeup #selfcare #threestars"

My review of the ciate London I am woman eyeshadow palette!
Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the @ciatelondon I Am Woman 24 Shade Eyeshadow Palette Vol. 2. I loveeee this palette!! The shades are so pretty and they’re all VERY pigmented!! I got this in my Boxycharm box but actually wasn’t supposed to! They must have run out of what they were supposed to send me or someone made an awesome mistake haha because I love this!! The shimmers are so shiny and pretty and the mattes are so pigmented. Perfect shades to choose from all year round too! I love that I can be adventurous or just neutral and still look amazing while only using one palette! #eyeshadow #palette #iamwoman #ciatelondon #ciate #london #boxycharm #makeup #makeupproducts #product #productreview #review #fivestars"

My review of the elf camo blushes!
Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ These are the @elfcosmetics Camo Liquid Blushes. I have this in 3 shades (Berry Well, Bold-Faced Lilac and Suave Mauve). I love these so much!! You literally only need half a dot so this bottle will last forever! And you don’t need a lot because they are SO pigmented!! These are an awesome dupe for the Rare Beauty liquid blushes. I need to get my hands on more shades!! And they’re only $7.00!! 100% worth the price for the amount of product you get and the quality. These last me all day and don’t fade at all! Especially when topped with a powder blush. What do you think? Have you ever tried these? #elf #elfcosmetics #camoblush #blush #makeup #selfcare #product #productreview #review #fivestars #pigmented"

Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review! ⭐️⭐️ This is the @elfcosmetics Glow Reviver Lip Oil in Honey Talks. I like this lip oil. It does wear off pretty quickly though so I don’t love that. But the shade is really pretty! I definitely think there are better lip oils out there but if you like reapplying throughout the day then you’ll like this. It reminds me of the NYX fat oil in that it also makes my lips chapped and doesn’t hydrate them. This just doesn’t last for me and it’s not very hydrating in my opinion. When I think lip oil I think juicy, and lots of hydration and this just doesn’t do that in my opinion. The shades are super pretty (I only have Honey Talks) but I wish they lasted longer. What do you think? Have you tried this before? #elf #elfcosmetics #lipoil #lip #lipproduct #makeup #product #review #productreview #selfcare"

Find out why I HATE this product!
Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review!! ⭐️ This is the @elfcosmetics Halo Glow Liquid Filter. I used shade 0 Fair. This is totally controversial, but I HATED this product!! First off I am a pale girlie with a neutral undertone, so it is impossible to find foundations and concealers that don’t look yellow on me. I think I’ve found maybe one of each ever that I love that are perfect matches. I tried this when it first launched and it was SO orange! Not even yellow like Cheetos orange. I mixed it with everything I could think of (other foundations, bronzing drops, concealers, the list goes on) and it was still orange on me. It emphasized my pores and texture and made me look greasy not glowy. I don’t know how it looks so good on everyone else or what I did wrong but this looked horrible on me.

Find out why I don’t like this primer!
Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review! ⭐️ This is the @elfcosmetics Poreless Puddy Primer. I don’t know if I’m just using this wrong or what but I hate this primer!! I can’t figure it out or it truly just sucks. It pills and doesn’t blend into my skin at all. I’ve gotten samples and bought them myself and I’ve either given them away or thrown them out. I can’t figure it out. It’s patchy and doesn’t blend and stays like hard? I don’t know how else to describe it. e.l.f. is good at many things but I truly believe they failed in the primer department. I’ve never liked a single e.l.f. primer I’ve tried. What do you think of this product? #elf #elfcosmetics #primer #selfcare #productreview #review"

Find out why I hate the primer everyone else loves!
Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review!! ⭐️ This is the @elfcosmetics Power Grip Primer. Another unpopular opinion! Maybe I’m doing something wrong but I HATE this primer! It does not keep my makeup on and it pills underneath. I hear a lot of people compare this to the milk makeup primer and I actually love that one and don’t see how they’re similar, other than the fact that they’re both sticky. This just feels super thick and heavy on my skin. It doesn’t dry down very fast either so my makeup gets mixed in with it and I hate that.

Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the @eloisebeauty Sweet Cheeks Bronzing Palette Duo in Fair/Medium. This is an awesome palette! It comes with one cream bronzer and one powder bronzer - both shaped as a heart which is adorable. They’re both very pigmented and the shades are a perfect bronze for my pale skin. I got this in my Boxycharm and I’m shocked that they actually shade matched me correctly lol. I really like this a lot! It blends so well too. I definitely need to use this more. I do wish the hearts were a little bigger with more product especially since it retails for $34. Absolutely love the packaging too!

Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the @fentybeauty Cheeks Suede Waterproof Powder Blush. This is a GORGEOUS highlighter / blush!! It’s stunning and I can’t wait to wear it all summer long!!! The shimmer in this is INSANE as is the pigment! A little goes a LONG way! I was afraid it was going to be too dark and bold for my pale skin but it looks soooo beautiful!! I got this in my Boxycharm box and received shade Wattabrat. I would love to get this in other shades too. It’s so beautiful!

Find out why I love this palette!!
Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the @ofracosmetics Good to Go Mini Mix Face Palette. This is my all time favorite eyeshadow palette!! That green spoke to me and I bought it immediately! I got this from @ipsy originally. These shadows are SO pigmented and pretty! It’s perfect for everyday or bold and fun looks! This was my first high end eyeshadow palette and it got me hooked on Ofra! This is a mix of matte and shimmer shadows, blush, bronzer, and highlighter but I use it strictly as an eyeshadow palette. Everything is SO pigmented! And the highlighter is stunning!!! I never see anyone talking about Ofra and I am here to change that lol! It’s one of my favorite brands of all time. Their products generally are on the high end side, but you are getting your moneys worth with every product you get from them! What do you think of this product? Have you ever tried Ofra before? #productreview #eyeshadowpalette #highendmakeup #ofracosmetics #makeup #makeupaddict #selfcare"

Find out why I love love love this trio!
Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the @ofracosmetics Cotton Candy Skies Midi Palette. This is my favorite hot pink blush palette!! Every formula is super pigmented. This comes with a powder blush, powder highlighter, and a cream blush. The highlighter is BLINDING!! Ofra makes the most pigmented powders I’ve ever tried and this is no exception!! This is the perfect pink blush palette. I wear this all the time! I love that I get three formulas in one small, convenient, travel friendly palette! I keep saying it but if you want PIGMENT you have to shop Ofra! I’ve never tried any other brand that packs as much pigment into their products as Ofra does!

Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review! ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the @ofracosmetics Good to Glow Pro Palette. I Wish I Could Give It 10 Stars! I will never shut up about how much I LOVEEEE this palette!!! The pigment and all the looks you can create with just this palette are insane!! I use this constantly. I love to take it with me when I travel! Honestly there are so many shades you really only need to invest in this once - it’ll last you forever! I recommend this to everyone! I do think it’s a little pricey (I got mine on sale from @ipsy), but you are definitely paying for a HIGH quality product!! Bronzers, highlighters, blush - what more could you ask for?! The designs of the product inside this palette are really cool too! I actually used this palette on my wedding day - I love it SO much!!

Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the @ofracosmetics Charm Your Cheeks Mini Mix Face Palette. I LOVE this blush palette!! You have 6 shades to choose from that will go with so many different looks! Literally every shade of blush you could need is in here - especially if you’re a pale girlie like me! All these shades will look beautiful on you! They killed it with the pigments again!! I love that these are super blendable. And this is small enough that it doesn’t take up a ton of room so you can travel with it too!

Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the @hauslabs Triclone Skin Texh Medium Coverage Foundation with Fermented Arnica in shade 110 Light Neutral. I love this foundation so much I wore this on my wedding day!! It did not budge at all!! Literally lasted me all day and night and my makeup did not move. The shade match is really good (it does pull a little yellow on me, but most “neutral” shades do and once it blends in it looks great) and the shade range from Haus is amazing!! It wears so beautifully throughout the day and blends very easily!! I really wish it wasn’t so expensive but this bottle is going to last me forever! I got a sample from Sephora for my wedding and loved it so much I bought the full size!!

Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the @hudabeauty Easy Blur Natural Airbrush Foundation with Niacinamide. I want to love this as much as the internet does but I don’t. It is a good foundation. But I definitely get super oily throughout the day. And it doesn’t give me that flawless filter airbrushed look at all. *I also do not have the Easy Blur Primer or the Easy Bake Powder, so I don’t know if that makes a difference* I never see anyone with flawed skin like mine (acne, scars, dark circles etc) using this. It’s always girls with completely flawless skin and it looks amazing on them. It doesn’t look that good on me unfortunately. @hudabeauty if you want to send me the whole routine that would be awesome haha I’m dying to try it! What do you think of this product? If you see this post tag @hudabeautyaybe they’ll send me something LOL #hudabeauty #huda #productreview #foundation #easyblurfoundation #makeup #makeupaddict"

Checkout why this is my favorite lash primer!
Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the @lancomeofficial Clis Booster XL Vitamin-Infused Lash Thickening Mascara Primer. This is my FAVORITE lash primer!! This keeps my lashes so long and healthy! I always use this before putting on mascara. I use this on my top and bottom lashes. And I notice less fallout with my mascara when I use this! The only issue I have with this is the packaging. The full size is $30. I loved the mini so much (only $15) that I bought the full size and it seemed to dry out so much faster than the mini! Around where the top screws back on it had all these crusties around it so I couldn’t screw the top all the way back on which is probably why it dried out so fast. I tried cleaning it too and it kept happening. So I felt like I wasted a ton of money because I didn’t use all the product. But I’ve never had this problem with the mini so I just buy that one instead. The product itself is amazing!! Just don’t love the packaging for the full size. This happened to me with the Hynose Drama Mascara full size too. Maybe it’s something just Lancôme uses. I’ve never had this happen with any other lash primers or mascaras from other brands. Has this ever happened to you? What do you think of this product? #productreview #lancome #lashprimer #makeup #selfcare #makeupaddict"

Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review! ⭐️ I’m going to combine 2 reviews in this post because to me these products are very similar and I feel the same about both of them. These are the @lauramercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder (image 1) and Translucent Loose Setting Powder Ultra Blur (image 2). I used to use these as my everyday setting powder. It’s supposedly amazing - claiming 24 hour / 16 hour wear and blurring effect, but my makeup would run and get oily and melt throughout the day. Just to use it up I’ve been using it to bake my under eyes and cheeks. As hard as I try I cannot empty this product. I can’t get the inside lid to come out, and it’s not designed to. There is so much product at the bottom that I cannot get out once I’m nearing the end. No amount of shaking and pounding will get it out and I have tried to cut the top out and I can’t. I repurchased the original several times and the ultra blur once and they perform exactly the same in my opinion. They do not set my makeup and make it last all day. This is super disappointing since this is almost a $50 powder! What do you think of this product? #productreview #lauramercier #settingpowder #makeup #selfcare #makeupaddict"

I love this serum!
Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the @anua_global Niacinamide 10 + TXA 4 Serum. Currently on my second bottle! I Loveeee this serum!! This is one of the only products I’ll wear underneath my makeup. It has a very thin consistency, it doesn’t feel heavy on my skin at all. Also didn’t break me out which is amazing! This is also super affordable! Only $22 on Amazon and it lasts a long time! Kbeauty / Asian beauty is slowly taking over my routine and this has not disappointed me at all! I dont wear a lot of product underneath my makeup because of pilling but this one doesn’t pill at all and melts right into my skin. #product #review #productreview #skincare #selfcare #anua #niacinamide #serum #skincareprep #makeupprep #amazonfinds #kbeauty #asian #asianskincare #fivestars"

My review of the Cocokind retinol!
Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the @cocokind Beginner Retinol Gel. I am terrified of retinol to be completely honest. I tried Tretonin once and it literally peeled off the top layer of my skin. It was so raw and painful! So I always look for gentle retinols and this one is amazing!! It truly smells awful lol but it doesn’t break me out or peel my skin off thankfully. My skin feels so smooth afterwards. I heard someone say recently that retinol is like an overnight reset for your skin and I totally agree! My skin always feels fresh and clean the next morning after I’ve used retinol in my nighttime routine. I also like this one because it can be used daily! I use my retinol with a ton of hydration too so my skin is protected and it never makes my skin feel dry or peel. What do you think?

My review of the cosnori lash serum!
Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review!! ⭐️ ⭐️ This is the @cosnori_official Long Active Eyelash Serum. The only good thing I can say about this is I really love that this didn’t burn my eyes! However this did not improve my lash length at all. Lashes did feel a little stronger and I noticed less breakage. It was super affordable, but didn’t do anything to improve the length of my lashes which is the whole reason I purchased it. The wand was very innovative and I wish more mascara spoolys were designed this way with the little like ball at the end for lashes in your inner corner or bottom lashes this was the one product where I’ve seen this design and I want to see it in more mascaras!.You’re basically paying for packaging. The product itself didn’t work for me at all. What do you think? Have you tried this before? #product #productreview #review #cosnori #lashserum #lashes #lashgrowth #selfcare #skincare"

Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the @cosrx The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum. I loved the sample size so much that I bought the full size! Jam packed with amazing ingredients for your skin. Not terribly priced either (I got this for $20 on Amazon and this bottle will last me FOREVER) for as much product that you get and considering it is an Asian Beauty Brand! Asian beauty is slowly taking over my routine because the products are FULL of high quality ingredients and they don’t break the bank. This Contains 6 multi peptides that boost skincare conditions like : - Pore and sebum control - Firmness - Fine lines - Skin texture - Skin tone and soothing Also Targets - Dullness - Oily skin - Dehydration - Pores - Anti-aging - Redness & Sensitive skin. I absolutely LOVE this serum and will never stop repurchasing! #COSRX #TeamCOSRX #MirrorSkin #skincare #brandambassador #serum #selfcare #product #review #productreview #skincsreroutine #kbeauty #asianbeauty"

It’s a very very sheer purple so it isn’t going to be super bold. I actually use this as an everyday lip balm or part of my skincare routine. Very hydrating and only $4!! Doesn’t make my lips feel chapped either like some lip oils/balms I’ve tried before. Need to get my hands on more because these are amazing!

Find out why I hate this serum everyone else loves!!
Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review!! ⭐️⭐️ This is the @glowrecipe Watermelon Niacinamide Dew Drops. I love Glow recipe and I think they are an awesome brand! However I was influenced just like the rest of the internet to buy this and it broke me out SO bad! The mini didn’t but I bought the full size and started using it more and my skin went haywire. And for the price it’s totally not worth it. I use the @goodmolecules Niacinamide Serum instead - it’s $12 for the full size and doesn’t break me out! The only thing I like about this one is it’s got a nice glow and it smells nice. But the breakout isn’t worth it in my opinion. I also don’t like the packaging. It only pumps out so much and there is a bunch of product at the bottom you can’t get out and you can’t cut it in half or anything because it’s a glass bottle.

Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the @goodmolecules Hyaluronic Acid Serum. I love this serum!! I’m a firm believer skincare does not need to be expensive to work and that’s why I love Good Molecules because they’re affordable AND they work!! You do NOT need an expensive Hyaluronic acid serum. This one is thick and juicy and gives you amazing hydration!! I’ve tried other ones before like the one from Glow Recipe and Three Ships and they’re great and do the exact same thing but at 3x the price! Buy this one instead you will not regret it! You also get way more product for literally a fraction of the price! What do you think of this product? #productreview #goodmolecules #hyaluronicacidserum #skincare #selfcare"

Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the @innbeautyproject Slushy Serum Moisturizer Crush Infused with Bakuchiol. I LOVE this serum!! I saw @hydrationceo talk about this on instagram and she described it as a “tall drink of water for your skin” so I bought it immediately and she was RIGHT! This is sooooo hydrating and smells so good! It smells like a cherry slushy and usually I don’t don’t like artificial cherry smell but this is nice! It didn’t break me out which I love since I have sensitive skin. This has become a staple in my routine! I like the packaging. As you pump it out a piece at the bottom moves the product up so that you can get every last drop of product. I do however wish it came in a bigger size. It’s $32 for only 1.7 oz of product! It works amazingly but I do wish I got more product for that amount of money. And I’ve bought this twice now from Sephora, and all of a sudden it’s not there? At least in the app. But you can still purchase this on the brands website. What do you think of this product? #productreview #skincare #slushyserum #serum #selfcare"

Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the @innisfreeusa Daily UV Defense Invisible Broad Spectrum SPF 36 Sunscreen. I LOVED this sunscreen!! I got this for free from @sephora in the sample size and it lasted me longer than I expected. It did not break me out which automatically gives it five stars. I have such a hard time with sunscreens because they either break me out of have a crazy white cast and I don’t need anymore help with how pale I am lol. This did not break me out AND truly is invisible!! No white cast at all!! It blends so easily and works perfectly under makeup! It feels so nice on my skin, not heavy or greasy. Very glowy and literally melts into my skin. And it’s not very expensive with which I love! I literally cut open to bottle to get all the product out. I love this!! What do you think of this product?

One of my favorite and only serums to wear under makeup!
Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review! This is a holy grail product for me for sure!! I don’t put a lot of products underneath my makeup but this is a must! This was my first bottle and it literally lasted me almost a full year! I bought this on 3/22/24 and finished it 2/23/25!! This is the @innisfreeusa Green Tea Seed Hyaluronic Acid Serum and I used every 👏 last 👏 drop 👏 I apply it before moisturizer every single time I wear makeup. The more unnecessary products you’re putting under your makeup the less likely it is to pill or melt off. This is a staple in my routine. $30 at @sephora and worth every penny. Especially since this bottle lasted me 11 months!! #makeup #skin #skincare #selfcare #productreview"

Click to find out why I couldn’t finish this product!
Tori Ray on Instagram: "This is a product I did NOT finish in April and here’s my brutally honest reason why: This is the @belif Super Drops Niacinamide Vitamin C Glow Serum. First off this has a beautiful, glittery gold glow and is really nice to wear on days you’re not feeling like wearing makeup, or it’s nice to put under makeup for a lit from within glow. However, I failed to read that this contained vitamin C (yes it’s in the name and I don’t know how I missed it, my head hasn’t been attached lately lol) Which can be great for your skin if you need it! But if I apply any product with it directly to my skin I breakout immediately! Which was my first indication that something was wrong. So while I really loved this at first and the scent was actually so nice, I had to stop using it and throw it away. Super disappointed!! But this too is why I love my subscription boxes (this came in my @allurebeautybox), I get to try a variety of products I never would’ve thought to or gotten the chance to try! #allure #allurebeautybox #selfcare #skincare #vitaminc #skin #breakouts #product #teview #productreview"

Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ These are the @laneige_us Lip Masks in Pink Lemonade and Berry (I also have Bouncy & Firm!) I am OBSESSED with these lip masks!! They are so hydrating! Legit the best on the market. Pink lemonade is one of my favorite drinks so I had to snag that one ASAP and I LOVE it!! I have Berry and Bouncy & Firm in mini sizes so Pink Lemonade was my first full size and it’s going to last me a LONG time! I love lip products and lip masks but I’ve never had anything hydrate my lips as well as the Laneige Lip Masks do! I just hate how expensive they are. You are definitely paying for a high quality product! You are paying for quality AND quantity. If I could get my hands on every lip mask I would. The scent / flavor variety is insane!

I bought the jumbo size when it was on sale ar @ultabeauty and I used every last bit of this! It did not break me out which I appreciate. The jumbo lasted me a LONG time - there is a TON of product in here! And the price in my opinion is not bad for how much you’re getting! I definitely prefer other ones but I would buy this again for sure. The only thing I didn’t like was that it burns my eyes a little but that could just be a combination of the makeup I wear coming off too. #product #review #productreview #skincare #banilaco #cleansingbalm #selfcare #fivestars #ulta #ultafinds"

Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review!! ⭐️⭐️ This is the @cerave Makeup Removing Cleanser Balm. I HATED this for my face! It didn’t get all my makeup off and made my skin feel greasy and congested.

You only get 1.3 oz and it retails for $13.99! That to me is too expensive for the tiny amount of product you get. If you got more product it might be worth it. But I have other cleansing balms I definitely prefer. What do you think?

Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the @elfcosmetics @e.l.f.skin Holy Hydration! Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm. This isn’t a bad cleansing balm! I do prefer other cleansing balms but if I just need one before payday l’ll grab this one. I do like to use this one to clean my makeup brushes and it does a great job! It makes my skin feel kind of tight and doesn’t totally remove the makeup from my face, but It doesn’t break me out either which is awesome. There is a decent amount of product in here too so a little goes a long way and you’re getting a good amount for what you’re paying. What do you think of this product? #elf #elfcosmetics #elfskin #cleansingbalm #product #review #productreview #skincare #selfcare"

Checkout why this is my favorite makeup remover!!
Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the @garnierusa SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water All-in-1 Cleanser & Waterproof Makeup Remover. If you’ve know me you know I LOVEEEEE this Micellar water!!!! This is the best Micellar water on the market. I go through these so fast! Out of all Garnier’s Micellar Waters, this one is my favorite because I wear a lot of makeup and waterproof products, this takes it all off without my skin feeling dry or tight after. This also doesn’t burn my eyes when removing my mascara or eyeliner. And I love how affordable this is! I use this with a reusable makeup wipe and it takes my makeup, skincare and SPF off so well. I still double cleanse after using this but this is a great first step! l’ll never stop repurchasing this! If I could get a lifetime supply that would be great. What do you think? Have you tried this before? #garnier #productreview #makeupremover #micellarwater #skincare #selfcare"

This is my FAVORITE makeup remover!!
Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review!! This is the Dr. Althea Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm. This is my FAVORITE cleansing balm! It takes off all my makeup so effortlessly. I also love that you can twist the top to get the product out, rather than scooping it out with your hand. Makes it so much more hygienic. Thank you @aylenpark for turning me onto this!! What do you think? Have you tried this before? Do you like it?

Find out why I won’t buy this again!!
Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review!! ⭐️⭐️ This is the @firstaidbeauty KP Bump Eraser Scrub 10% AHA in Fresh Strawberry. This is a rough scrub which I like, but It honestly feels like sand which I don’t love. And it gets all over my shower curtain and doesn’t wash down the drain very well. It does actually feel like it’s exfoliating my skin. Loses points because it’s $30 for 8 oz! From what I can find it also only comes in 3 scents (and I think one is seasonal) so I wish there was more variety. I bought this because it’s supposed to help with “strawberry skin” but I’ve gone through 2 bottles and I have seen no difference in my skin. I also hate the way this smells. And I hate the packaging. I have to cut it in half to get all the product out, which I do with a lot of my products anyways. But there is SO much in there that won’t squeeze out. And at that it doesn’t squeeze out of the tube very well. What do you think of this product? #productreview #firstaidbeauty #bodyscrub #bodycare #selfcare #strawberryskin"

Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the @firstaidbeauty Ultra Repair Cream Intense Hydration. I’ve never actually purposely purchased this product but I’ve gotten this in several deluxe samples. This doesn’t irritate my skin which of course I love. It Does not have any scent, I wish it did or wish they made a variety of scents. It truly is Super hydrating!! I don’t think lotion should be as expensive as this is especially since for me it doesn’t do anything special or even come in scents. I’d rather spend my money on a scented lotion at Bath and Body Works or Tree Hut. But if you don’t like fragrance and want a hydrating lotion this will be your best friend. It can be used on your face too as a hydrating moisturizer. It also does actually repair your skin. If you’ve got a rash or irritation or something this will help clear it up too. And if you’ve have sensitive skin it’s not going to irritate you. What do you think of this product?

I LOVE this scrub! Find out why!!
Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the @dewofthegods X @juicycouture Velvet Velour Body Scrub. I received this in my @boxycharm box! This smells absolutely amazing!!! I like my scrubs to be rough (the @treehut ones are my all time favorite) because they feel like they’re exfoliating not just sitting on my skin and this one does! This didn’t break me out or cause any irritation which is nice because it’s very heavily fragranced. I need a lifetime supply of this it is that good! It smells like the nostalgia signature Juicy scent and i am obsessed with it! I don’t like the scrubs that feel like pastes if that makes any sense and this didn’t feel like that at all. I literally cut this open when I couldn’t squeeze anymore out to make sure l got all of it. With that being said, I don’t love the packaging. I wish it was in a jar so I could make sure to get everything out. But it’s an absolutely amazing collaboration!!

Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review! First of many. My reviews will ALWAYS be 100% honest and my own opinion not influenced by anyone or any brand. This is the @maelys_cosmetics Get Dreamy Overnight Toning Body Whip. I received this as apart of my January Allure Beauty Box. This product retails for $49! And it did nothing for me. It’s supposed to tone curves and reduce appearance of cellulite. As you can see I used every last drop. It smells AMAZING and gives me very pretty glowing skin, and has a calming scent to it so it was nice to use at nighttime. But in my opinion it does not do what it’s marketed to do. And I would never spend $49 on any lotion, but especially one that does not do what it is supposedly designed to do. My body looks exactly the same as it did when I started using this. But what do you think? Have you used this before? Did you like it or see results? #selfcare #productreview #influencer #allure #allurebeautybox"

Find out why I love this pre shampoo!!
Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the @garnierusa Fructis Hair Filler Inner Fiber Repair Pre-Shampoo. I absolutely love this!! I was using the Olaplex No 3 Pre Shampoo and really liked it, but it was way out of my budget especially to get such a small amount for $30! So I was looking for an alternative and I would definitely call this a dupe!! It is thicker than the Olaplex one but that seems to be the only difference to me. This is $9.99 for 10.1 fl oz and Olaplex is $30 for 3.3 fl oz!! That’s kind of a no brainer to me. It preps my hair so nicely before double shampooing. It already feels silky and smooth as soon as I wash this out. I leave it on for 5-10 minutes in wet hair and then continue with my routine. My hair feels stronger and thicker and is growing like crazy. I love this product! What do you think?

Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review!! ⭐️⭐️ This is the @kerastase_official Elixir Ultime Original Hair Oil. I’ve never actually bought this before, I’ve only received free samples of this from @sephora. When I had these I wasn’t using hair oil very often, just when I styled my hair and that wasn’t very frequently so the samples lasted me a long time. And you really don’t need a lot of it. It smells really good! I hate how thick this is though. It feels really heavy and weighs down my already heavy and thick hair. I think this would work a lot better for me if it was a thinner formula. It also made my hair feel really greasy not shiny. It’s also SO expensive!! I don’t think it’s worth it at all. If I’m going to buy a high end hair oil it’s going to be from @olaplex - they have the exact consistency I’m looking for!

One of my favorite perfumes - find out why!!
Tori Ray on Instagram: "Product Review!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the @kayali Yum Boujee Marshmallow | 81 Eau de Parfum Intense. BURY ME IN THIS PERFUME OMG! This is one of the most amazing perfumes I’ve ever gotten!!! This was my first time trying Kayali and I could BATHE in this!! It smells so sweet, literally like marshmallows and literally lasts all day! It’s amazing. I am not one that saves perfumes / scents for certain occasions so I have been wearing this everyday! I need this scent in a lotion and body wash and body oil like give me EVERYTHING in this scent!! I am not very easily bothered by fragrances so in my opinion this is not overpowering. And the bottle is SO cute! I have this in a mini and it doesn’t spray out which I don’t like. You have to dab it on and you could easily spill too much so I wish it sprayed. I also hate that the full size is $100!! I don’t think smelling good should cost so much. But I’m saving the full size for my Black Friday haul! Definitely one of my top 5 favorite perfumes. What do you think of this product? P.S. @kayali please send me PR LOL I need to try all your scents!! You don’t even know how obsessed I am with this 😍 #productreview #kayali #perfume #selfcare #smellsamazing"
