Great coverage and very hydrating, with a lot of shade options. The best concealer I found on the market!

This foundation is a total game-changer for dry or mature skin because the infused Olay serum prevents it from settling into fine lines, leaving you with a radiant and youthful finish. 

While the pump packaging can be a bit bulky, the creamy formula blends effortlessly to blur imperfections without ever looking cakey, making it one of the best affordable anti-aging options available.

If you hate the heavy feeling of liquid makeup, this loose powder is a holy grail because it buffs into a creamy, luminous finish that covers redness while letting your skin breathe.

I found it to be an absolute lifesaver for sensitive or acne-prone skin types since the clean, mineral formula won't clog pores, giving you flawless coverage that actually improves your complexion over time.

If you're looking for a low-maintenance, flattering lip color that feels great, this is likely going to be your next everyday staple. A warning though: If you're a high-pigment, all-day-wear lipstick enthusiast, you might find it a bit underwhelming ...

It's incredibly lightweight and feels much closer to a silky, emollient lip balm than a traditional lipstick. Since it's a balm/gloss hybrid, longevity is not its strong suit. It will disappear after eating or drinking, and you'll need to reapply oft...

My favourite shade for this one is the Black Honey, it's so unique! I have never seen any lipstick color like this one. Don't get scared when you first look inside the tube, as it will seem terrifyingly deep, dark burgundy-style or the color of a plu...

I hope that you will enjoy this lipstick as much as I did, and let me know your experience with it in the comments below :)

Perfect lipstick. I have three of these: spiced cider, blushing berry, and sugar plum. The packaging is beautiful; they are in an elegant gold case with a snap-tight lid, so it won't fall off in your purse and get the lipstick all over everything. Th...

They are very moisturizing and give great coverage, and last quite a long time. I did not notice any odor. The colors are accurate, at least in my opinion; what I ordered matched the photos online.

They are also smudge resistant and don't dry out my lips at all. I threw out my two Wet and Wild lipsticks and replaced them with these, as the Wet and Wild were making my lips peel.

I have been using this lipstick for 5 years now. I've got a lot to say since I've used it for so long. Quite frankly, I love them!

I can't say this enough! I can eat, drink, kiss, sleep, even SHOWER with this lipstick on and it doesn't come off!

Washing my face may take some off but not much unless I'm really scrubbing and use my fingernail to scrape at it. The only thing that takes this stuff off is anything with oil in it - a makeup wipe mostly, with a bit of applied pressure, and sometime...

It MIGHT sometimes come off a little when I sleep but not very often. Just depends on how I slept. Most of the time, I wake up looking like I just put it on, even if it's been over 24 hours since I applied it!

Stop paying luxury prices for the perfect gourmand fragrance. The Al-Rehab Choco Musk Eau de Parfum is the cult-favorite scent that smells exactly like a decadent dessert. A warm, creamy blend that instantly makes you feel cozy and draws compliments ...

This is a genuinely edible scent profile. It blends smooth Milk Chocolate, Creamy Vanilla, and a comforting touch of White Musk and Cinnamon to create the aroma of fresh-baked cookies or a marshmallow-topped hot chocolate.  It's the definition of a “cheapie gem.”

For an ultra-low price, you get fantastic longevity and sillage. It also serves as the perfect base for layering. Pair it with other vanilla or spicy fragrances to enhance their depth. In my honest opinion, to ensure a perfect experience, customers m...

This dissipates rapidly as the fragrance settles into its creamy state. Like a fine wine, this fragrance improves dramatically with time. For the creamiest, most delicious scent, I recommend letting the bottle sit (unopened or used once) in a cool, d...

Smells too good to be true to be honest… ah and it lasts until I take a shower, always!

This body mist smells so good, it feels and smells warm, and not too overpowering. The honey scent is cozy and perfect for everyday wear. I also love that it feels light on the skin and actually lasts longer than most body mists. This is one of my fa...
