I prefer a no make-up look so when this product came out, I immediately got it. I love this tinted moisturizer. And it contains hyaluronic acid which is great for skin. So you're getting skincare and coverage in one.

I really like this sunscreen. Sometimes, sunscreen leaves a white residue or makes your skin look pasty, this one is clear and easy to carry with you for reapplications when needed.

I used to spend hundreds at the aesthetician and then I found this. I like that it has a light on it and when I run out of razors I just order refills. It helps your skincare products and makeup go on so much smoother.

I love this mask! Especially because I can wear it overnight. No hard clay to wipe off. Korean skin is all the rage right now and there's a reason why. This mask delivers.

Hair, one of those things we are born with but don't on our bodies. I bought this in 2022 and I still use it. I haven't shaved my armpits, or legs in years. Now I use it for touch ups and maintenance. *NOTE: I have heard that this works better on tan...
