Catherine's Reviews

I’ve enjoyed using the Kate Somerville Daily Deflector Mineral Sunscreen with SPF 40. It has a 100% Mineral formula. It has a super light feel to it. It is not slimy or greasy, like many sunscreens. It is unscented. It has a fancy tilted triangular pump top. I like that it is broad spectrum (including protection from blue light). It hydrates, protects against free radical damage from the sun and is water resistant for 80 minutes! Wow! It has a ceramide complex which strengthens the skin barrier, Vitamin E which provides antioxidant benefits, 17% Non-Nano Zinc Oxide which acts as a physical sunscreen against sun damage, Tasmannia Lanceolata Leaf Extract which reduces redness by calming the skin and Ectoin which provides protection against pollution induced skin damage. It has a high rating of PA++++ meaning it offers a high amount of UVA and UVB protection. I appreciate that it is: Paraben-free, sulfate-free and phthalate-free. It is safe for sensitive skin. Would recommend!

I have been using the Loreal Self-Tanning Facial Drops for the last 4 days. I still proceeded with my normal skincare routine. With the Loreal Self-Tanning Facial Drops, at first I wasn’t seeing any results with the 5 drops, so I upped to to 8 drops twice a day. Then I saw results. Maybe even more than I wanted. I need to get my neck, as well. I have a tan face and white neck. I like that the product is unscented. I actually already use the Loreal self tanning lotion and mousse self tanner. This also works well. I’m trying to think if I like it as much. It DID stain my hands more than the other products that I mentioned. Maybe because it’s more concentrated? Like other self tanning products that I have used, it did make existing darker skin spots darker, but this is nothing new with self tanning products. I am not sure how I feel about the extra step of combining it with your own serum or moisturizer. I’d say from personal preference I am the biggest fan of the foaming mousse, but if m...

I’ve appreciated using the EASYDEW Fill Up Volume Spot Treatment. It’s a spot treatment targeting stubborn lines and wrinkles. It was recommended to put around my eyes, mouth and forehead. I only have been using it a week, so I can’t see a dramatic difference. I can say that my skin does feel refreshed after using their products. It didn’t react with my skin, so I think I can tolerate hyaluronic acid, fairly well. It also has their DW-EGF, which is a synthetic formula made by Daewoong Pharmaceutical. EGF is a “Youth Protein” which replenishes collagen and elastin. I have been using it in the morning and evening. It has a reasonable price. It’s in serum consistency. It even has a glass tip, so you can see how much of the product you are getting. It is suitable for all skin types. . It doesn’t cause any reaction with my sensitive skin. I have used the EasDew toner and the EasyDew Repair Control Renewal Moisture and liked those products, as well. So, I use three of their products in m...

I love Nest’s new Turkish Rose fragrance. I received the roller ball perfume oil. It smells wonderful! I love Nest products and this doesn’t disappoint. I would say it’s a tropical fruity rose scent, so both of those scents combined. I love it and would recommend it. The description says it has notes of Dewy Turkish Rose, Black Plum, Blonde Woods. It smells rosy fruity to me,. Maybe the fruity part is the plum. Anyway, love the scent!

I’ve enjoyed using the d’Alba Vital Rose Spray Serum. I love the rose and cherry blossom scent. I love this as much as d’Alba’s First Spray Serum, that I tried about a month ago. d’Alba Vital Rose Spray Serum sprays a fine mist and is versatile. It can be sprayed on your face, body and hair. It can be used under make-up (which what I mainly do), to set the make-up or to refresh one’s face during the day (especially in the winter). d’Alba Vital Rose Spray Serum has White Truffle extract in it , which is a good antioxidant and has Vitamin C in it. Antioxidants and Vitamin C target the visible signs of aging including firmness, brightness and dark spots. It contains rose extract, which penetrates deeply to nourish and soothe the skin. It’s hypoallergenic and dermatologist tested. I appreciate that it’s vegan, cruelty free, free of parabens, sulfates and artificial colors. It works well with my dry, sensitive skin. I received this product at a discount for the purpose of review. Would re...

I've enjoyed using the Meloway Your Way Mascara in Super Black. I ordered the product from Amazon, but they also have a Meloway website to order from. I like that it's vegan, cruelty free and paraben free. I didn't have an allergic reaction to it. Sometimes I have that happen. The packaging and product container is very bright! It's a combination of white, black and neon orange. I like the patented wand. It's not like any wand I've ever seen. I like that it helps me reach hard to reach lashes. The wand can bend at a right angle, if you want it to. It's a hyper-pigmented black, so that is important for having lashes that stand out. It helped to separate my lashes more than most wands. I think it's a light formula and non-clumping. It also comes in mint! That would be cool! I love unique colors and looks with make-up. It worked well. Would recommend! @meloway #meloaway

I've enjoyed using the VELY VELY Artemisia Balance Facial Treatment Essence Toner. Artemisia is a popular newer ingredient in Korean skincare. It acts as an antioxidant and a collagen stimulator. It is a water-like consistency. After using it, my skin felt more moisturized. My skin had no negative reaction. It minimized my pores. It has a light cinnamon scent. I already have enjoyed using two other products in the line, the Artemisia Return Cream and the Artemisia Return Ampoule. Both are excellent products. I think the packaging is upscale looking. I appreciate that it is paraben-free. I would buy this product again, because of how gentle it is.
