This stuff smells amazing...!
i have been disappointed with inexpensive options and splurged on a few, got into this because I put it with my open ones and groggily grabbed this... once I got a sniff I was in love. I find powders to be a good option in the winter when wearing hats because I can just give my hair a bit of a toss with my fingers and look fresh and not greasy. My hair is light …

Treatments (Face) - Bobbi Brown - Extra Treatment Lotion

5.0

1 month ago

Very pricey for a watery lotion / essence even though my bottle is still not quite 1/3 full after using it every day for almost a year. It does a nice job adding some hydration back to the skin layered under whatever I feel or need to use for moisturizing and I often use this instead of a toner. Smells wonderful yet isn’t overpowering. I’m actually trying to use up what I have and used it a few …Read more

I got this in bare nude and love it. I’m not one for lipstick but like using it when I want to have a polished off look, and this is a happy medium. The shade is very neutral and gives my lips color without worrying about feathering or getting it on my teeth. Hydrating with just enough shine and feels creamy on the lips. I am tempted to buy every color but the price tag stops me every time. I …Read more

This was ok... I find the scent of Bobbi Brown skincare products to be quite nice, but this was overly fragranced and heavy on the lavender, honestly not any different than the Mario Badescu lavender face spray in my opinion. The bottle itself is very lovely, feels luxurious like all of the BB skincare items. It just didn’t wow me enough to think about buying it again or to even finish up the …Read more

Liquid - Lancôme - Teint Idole Ultra Liquid 24h Longwear SPF 15 Foundation

This is my new favorite foundation to use on days when I don’t want anything to budge or transfer. Sometimes I break a sweat at work (mainly due to hot flashes) and this holds up. I generally prefer a full coverage foundation in a tube but the packaging swayed me and I think it looks luxurious sitting out on my vanity. Also my skin is dry but this doesn’t seen to make it feel any drier. The …Read more

I think this is a decent tinted moisturizer, it does what it claims. My skin is very dry right now and this doesn’t counteract any attempts I make to hydrate and so far hasn’t pilled or made my skin look and/or feel dry. It leaves a sheer hint of color to make the skin tone look more even, but doesn’t help cover more difficult skin imperfections. I like that it doesn’t do anything weird when I …Read more

This is the most luxurious makeup remover & face cleanser I have ever used, I love everything about it (except the price). But I managed to score a full-sized bottle as a gwp when getting some other BB products because I otherwise wouldn’t of bought this, I have cleansing products that work just fine for less $.
I use 3-4 pumps, massage it on my dry skin, give things a few splashes of …

I have been trying out a few products from this brand and this one disappoints me because it tends to pill up bad. I have even used this over the FAB ultra repair cream and FAB ultra repair hyaluronic hydrating primer and sometimes it pills, sometimes it doesn’t, even when using the same combination of products.
When it doesn’t pill, it’s a nice product because it wears well, gives a nice …

Lotions/ Creams - Alaffia - Everyday Shea: Shea Butter - Unscented

5.0

I love shea butter but don’t use it as often as I should because it takes a little time to work it into the skin. I love coconut oil but it leaves my skin shiny and isn’t hydrating enough in the winter, and sometimes I don’t want to smell like coconut. This is the best of both worlds! The texture is perfect - firm but creamy like a whipped butter and easy to work with. It says it is unrefined but …Read more

Moisturizers - Alaffia - Africa's Secret All-In-One Skin Treatment Shea Butter Coconut Oil

4.0

This is an excellent “all purpose” skin balm for anyone interested in trying a product with bee ingredients because it has three types of bee ingredients: honey, beeswax, pollen, propolis and royal jelly. The base ingredients (shea butter, coconut oil and sesame seed oil) are all rich and hydrating as well. I use this mainly on my hands and face as an overnight treatment because it leaves a …Read more
