True Luxury & Prestige
These are genuinely high-end, full-size products I received through BeautyTap. I tested them thoroughly and enjoyed them, but they’re priced at a level I’d treat as an occasional splurge rather than an everyday repurchase.
This full-size bottle came from BeautyTap’s luxury review program. The kind of scent you usually only see at Neiman Marcus. Rich saffron, warm amber, total ‘old-money energy.’ Proof that legitimate review panels can unlock real high-end rewards.
Acqua Di Parma - Zafferano Ambrosia
Luxury K-beauty at its finest. This cream is packed with traditional Korean herbal extracts like lotus, peony, and skullcap to boost firmness, hydration, and elasticity. It feels rich but not greasy and layers beautifully under other skincare. Defini...
Essential Firming Cream EX
Premium & Everyday Beauty
Products that fit into real routines. Well-made, wearable, and practical. These are the kinds of items I actually reach for and would realistically repurchase.
Ayurvedic botanicals meet buttery retinol in this luxe-feeling eye cream. It layers beautifully, never irritated my under-eyes, and gave me long-term results I actually noticed — smoother, more rested, zero puff.
Would I buy it again? Yes…on a disco...
Brightening Retinol Eye Creme
Glossy, non-sticky, and juicy without that heavy feel. It gives lips a sheer tint and a silky finish.
Would I buy it? Yes if I want a shiny, easy lip. It’s not groundbreaking, but it delivers — and the price is right.
SEPHORA COLLECTION Oil Infusion Hydrating Lip Oil
Sooo soft but still holds its shape. The angled design makes it foolproof to apply blush exactly where you want it. Honestly, it’s become my go-to brush — the perfect balance of soft + precise.
ciele The Flush Blush Brush
A beautiful neutral shade in a clear compact (love that you can see the color inside). The formula is buildable and lightweight, with bonus SPF for a skincare-focused touch.
Flush & PROTECT SPF 45+ Powder Blush (Shade: Cozy)
I received the 3-pack version of these through BeautyTap and tested them that way. The link here is for the 9-pack, but the texture and performance are the same. They’re gentle enough for sensitive skin and work well for makeup removal without feelin...
Bath & Body Sensitive Skin Facial Buffers
Haircare & Styling
Hair products tested through BeautyTap, grouped in the order I actually use them. Prep, treatment, and styling without overcomplicating things.
Beauty tap sent me this full Olaplex Healthy Hair Starter Kit and I finally get it. As someone who normally sticks to drugstore hair care, I was honestly curious if this could live up to the hype. The difference is real and my hair feels stronger, sh...
OLAPLEX - The Healthy Hair Shampoo and Hydrating Conditioner Gift Set
This was one of those BeautyTap sends that made me realize why people swear by salon-level haircare. The Rich Hydration Mask is super thick, creamy, and exactly what my dry ends needed. I’ve used plenty of drugstore masks that make my hair soft for a...
Rich Hydration Mask for Dry or Medium to Thick Hair
Lightweight and doesn’t feel sticky or heavy. I like this most when I’m blow-drying and want smoothness without losing volume. Definitely more of a prep product than a finishing spray.
Kenra Blow-Dry Mist
Adds noticeable volume without making hair crunchy. I like using this at the roots before blow-drying when my hair feels flat but I still want movement.
Kenra Thickening Mousse 12
This is a lighter-hold hairspray. Good for everyday styles or when you want control without stiffness. I wouldn’t use it for super structured looks, but it’s great for keeping hair in place while still touchable.
