Vitamin C that doesn’t pill: Antipodes Glow Ritual Vitamin C serum.
It’s water-based so it sinks into your skin and absorbs quickly. That’s what I want in a vitamin C serum and then I want to move on to the rest of my skincare routine. Other than that, it’s got a bit of shimmer in the formula which makes no difference. Sunscreen covers everything and that’s that.
$48 online.
Conditioner but make it luxuriously rosewater-scented, light but hydrating, a treat to reach for again and again. Absolutely the best rose-scent in a hair product (and I’ve tried a lot).
Christophe Robin Volume Conditioner is best for fine hair that finds itself weighed down by anything too rich. I alternate between this and a purple conditioner and I’m pretty happy with the highlights and state of my hair overall.
$51 at online.
No filter on this @narsisst Soft Matte concealer. It’s one I use on my face and not under my eyes. This colour is a bit warm. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m surprised I don’t see people talk about this concealer more. It’s so smooth and looks like skin. Have you used this? Maybe you’re more for the creamy concealer?
Real thankful for all the hotel soaps I stuffed in my bags over the years, and may I never be above asking room service for a restock. I’m using this Le LaboRose 31 soap now in hopes that I’ll be able to replenish my stash soon.
The soap smelled good in the box, but the scent doesn’t last once you’re in the shower. In fact, by the time the soap was finishing it really didn’t smell like anything. Maybe because this was so old.
At first I couldn’t really figure out the point of this diormakeup Maximizer Plumping Primer. It didn’t really seem to do that much for me, but now I apply it thickly, making sure I coat the whole lash and follow up with mascara, and whoa! Totally makes a difference. It’s an extra step but I’m sticking with it, and in the end, it seems to save me time because I’m not applying as many layers of mascara. It also dries clear.
The sunscreen I’ve been wearing on repeat for the last little while doubles as a body lotion too. This Biotherm Lait Solaire Corps is amazing. It’s moisturizing and leaves your skin kind of glossy. But there’s no white cast coming off on your clothes so I love that. I know it says that it’s for the body but I use it on my face too!
Reached for Prada Infusion de Tubereuse first thing today and it felt so right. It’s a tuberose that’s not a tuberose. It’s a clean soapy floral that smells like a shower, is linear, and lasts a long time without much sillage. Two sprays, which is rare for me, and sometimes I like to spray this in my hair. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If I was prone to collecting bottles, I’d love to see the whole line of the Prada Infusions on my shelf.
I’m finding Carnal Flower to be so soothing. Coconut and Tuberose, but not really feminine. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Pair this with your favourite coconut cream and you’ll enjoy it even more.
I’m not usually into fragrance layering but I’ve used up quite a bit of these Veronique Gabai Boosters.
I have the Eau du Jour and Eau de la Nuit – the day one is citrusy, and the night one is clean musk. I’ve actually worn them separately too and I prefer that. I have travel sizes, and bonus points because each of these has a cap and comes with a velvet travel pouch.
I review them in detail in this video. Watch and enjoy.

Things I finished and most I loved. The only dud from this group is the Fenty Mascara. Yes, it gives you fluffy lashes but boy does it ever smudge. The Benefit eyebrow pencil is super skinny and I love it. I’ve gone through many of these.
Murad Daily Clarifying Peel was used so much that it lasted about a month but that’s ok. It was awesome. I also finished the Murad Intense Recovery Cream but I’ve had that for about a year and don’t use it a ton. It is great for dehydrated skin. You can find it Sephora. Finally, I finished the Versed Day Dissolve Cleansing Balm and it’s the second one of these I’ve used up. It’s so nice and you can find it Shoppers Drug Mart. It’s part of their Thoughtful Choices line.
