This micellar water is so easy going for my sensitive skin, gliding my makeup off.
Sensibio H2O Micellar Water Face Cleanser - Bioderma

Gentle Skin Cleanser - Cetaphil
I have gone back and forth with eyebrow and eyelash serums, and I have got to say, this one was definitely the best. I saw defined results within a short amount of time in the growth of my eyelashes and eyebrows, targeting their volume, fullness, and...
Multi-Peptide Lash and Brow Serum - The Ordinary
I get so many blackheads, clogged pores, and pimples around my nose and this product has helped with minimising them so well. Ever since I got this serum, there has been visible control of my blemishes and reduction of the redness on my face.
Salicylic Acid 2% Exfoliating Blemish Solution - The Ordinary
This is an absolute must-have for my acne prone skin. It decongests, brightens, and softens, who doesn’t want that? It targets lacklustre skin tone and texture with its combination of salicylic acid, kaolin, and charcoal powder.

The smell and taste of this lip oil is genuinely insane, it is like a candy! It lasts all day, gives the most beautiful gloss and colour, and has a huge applicator, adequate for extreme ease in the application process.
Fat Oil Lip Drip Lip Oil - NYX Professional Makeup
Many buyers of this lippie have expressed their complaints about the way the OG oil smells, and I somewhat agree. Although, since then, Gisou has come out with new colours which only showcase amazing scents and use real ingredients!
