Spotted: My latest beauty obsession has the Upper East Side all aflutter! The KOSAS BB Burst Tinted Gel Cream is my go-to for flawless, radiant skin. It's like a dream โ light and airy, yet with coverage that rivals a tinted foundation. The texture? Utterly divine, leaving me with that perfect dewy complexion, ideal for summer days. I've experimented with various blushes, but there's nothing quite like pairing it with a creamy blush for that extra luminosity. And here's the best part: no need to stress over finding the exact shade โ this BB cream adapts beautifully, even if it's slightly off. Trust me, it's a game-changer for all skin types. Consider it my little beauty secret, shared with you, of course. XOXO, Gossip Girl.
Kosas Revealer Concealer: My Must-Have Makeup and Skincare in One
I'm super excited about the Community X Kosas competition! As a student, my budget is pretty tight, so when I invest in a product, I want to make sure it's worth every penny. That's why my favorite Kosas product has to be the Revealer Concealer.
It's not just a concealerโit's like getting a skincare treatment and makeup in one. It has hyaluronic acid to keep my skin hydrated, caffeine for that extra boost, and peptides for a firming effect. The coverage is perfectโlightweight, but still effective at hiding my under-eye circles and any blemishes.
I love how it doesn't feel cakey or heavy, and the finish is super natural. Plus, it blends so easily and stays in place all day, even during my long study sessions. And because it comes in so many shades, finding the right match was a breeze.
For me, the Revealer Concealer was definitely a good investment. Itโs versatileโI use it to cover imperfections and to highlightโand it fits right into my budget because it lasts a long time. Itโs like having two products in one, which is perfect for a student on a budget.
I'm really hoping to win the goodie bag. This concealer has been a game-changer for me, and I canโt wait to try more Kosas products. Good luck to everyone entering the competition!
Spotted! A fabulous lightweight foundation thatโs stirring up quite the buzz in the beauty world. This little gem delivers a sheer, hydrating finish fit for the Upper East Side elite. With its user-friendly applicator, itโs like gossip girlโs best-kept secret, no brush required! But watch out, sometimes it plays a little streaky, leaving you wanting to touch up with another brush or sponge for that flawless look.
And oh, the scent! Itโs like a whiff of Manhattan glamour in a bottle. Plus, youโre getting a bang for your buck with a generous amount of product. But heed this, darling: the shades run warmer and lighter than expected, so sampling before splurging is a must. And hereโs the tea: the color warms up as the day unfolds, giving you that sunkissed glow even on the dreariest of days. XOXO.
Dive into the world of NUXE body scrub, darlings! Picture this โ a chic, minimalistic packaging that screams Upper East Side elegance, delivering a serious bang for your beauty buck. The exfoliation grain? Thicker than the plot twists at a gossip girl soirรฉe, giving you a deep scrub thatโs practically scandalous.
Now, letโs talk texture. Itโs a gel-like affair, a bit sticky, but fear not. A splash of water or a flirty touch of wet hands, and youโll have a spreadable potion that would make even Blair Waldorf jealous. Post-scrub, your skin is practically dripping in radiance, a glow fit for summer.
The scent? Clean, not too heavy โ just the right amount of allure. Pair it with the body oil, and youโve got the ultimate power couple, like Chuck and Blair of skincare. The clean, subtle scent enhances the overall experience. For enthusiasts of effective exfoliation, this product is a standout. Suitable for both men and women, itโs a must-try for a satisfying skincare routine.
But wait, sweetie, a little birdie told me to keep an eye on the texture. If itโs playing games, swap it out โ because who wants a skincare scandal when you can have a flawless experience? XOXO, your secret skincare confidante. ๐
SkinFix Barrier Lipid-Boost Body Cream is a daily, multifunctional, all-over body-rich cream that targets dryness, dullness, redness, itchy and irritated skin, eczema-prone skin, and uneven skin texture to improve hydration and nurture the skin. This cream has transformed my dry, irritated, itchy, and red skin on my hands into hydrated, normal-looking skin with no redness or itchiness. I am so happy I could try this fantastic body cream
For those suffering from acne scars and oily skin
Eucerin DermoPurifyer Triple Effect SerumThis is a serum that really exceeds my expectations , perhaps for the active ingredients - Thiamidol that is very good to lightens acne marks, reduces melanin, and brightens blemishes, Salicylic Acid: antibacterial, resolves acne, and reduces blemishes, working briantly for acne prone skin - with visible post acne marks reductions , some completely disappearing. With a yellowish but more transparent colour and strong scent , quite acidic , that fades away , it does provide a soft nourishing feeling for a short while, but I would suggest to follow with a moisturizing cream over. This serum is very good at reducing acne marks and reducing blemishes overalls. Very impressed!

Sephora Favourites gifting bundle - Savageโs wish list.
If I were to win this prize, I would choose the Sephora Favourites, The Bath & Body Collection, for my
Mam Yvonne. I would choose the Sephora Favourites, The Makeup Extravaganza.
Why should we be considered for the prize? My mam is retiring from the NHS after over 40 years on service, in a months time. She has cared, and looked after so many people through her years as a Nurse, and I think she deserves a little gift of care back! If I were to win Iโd be over the moon to give her this little treat as a well done for her years of service to the country and the NHS. Iโd be glowing from joy and hopefully the Makeup Extravaganza Collection too!! I hope we are considered for the prize, as thanks to my hardworking, generous and all round fantastic Mam and Nurse, Yvonne Savage. ๐ค๐๐ฉ๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ซ

Canโt recommend more for KP sufferers!!!Where to start? Where to start? Where to start? I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!! I didnโt think anything would be able to help me tackle my KP (Keratosis Pilaris), and I grew up being told to just scrub using a hand towel or something like that and itโll go away, and yet it never worked; when I say I started to see a difference after one use, I absolutely mean it. From the texture to the actual application, itโs really easy to use, non-scented so it didnโt irritate my skin, and each particle of the scrub was even and in comparison to other body scrubs, wasnโt abrasive on my skin. The creaminess of the product was everything, I was expecting it to be harsh against my sensitive skin, yet it was nothing of the sort. After testing it for a few weeks, Iโve seen a lot of improvement and my skin feels and looks smoother, and I cannot recommend this product more. Itโs become a holy grail product in my shower routine and itโs a staple in my house now.

It is soooo, but so hard to chose! All the Sephora Favorite Gift sets are amazing, but these two are absolutely dreamy:
Sephora Favourites Beauty Has No Age And
Sephora Favourites Makeup Extravaganza
I would be over the moon to receive any of them.
When it comes to gifting, I would definitely chose The Make Extravaganza for my girls. Let me tell you a few things about these incredible โmy girlsโ.
We met here, in Sephora Community, about two years ago, and since then we have been in each otherโs lives permanently. Happiness, joy, anger, frustration, funny memes, masterclass reminders, we share all together. We still didnt organise a reunion, because we dont really live close to each other, but we are so close and united! I dont know what I would do without them!
So, yes, the Sephora Favorites The Makeup Extravaganza would be my choice for them. After I am posting this, I will go to our WhatsApp group to ask if I made a good (theoretical) choice! ๐ค๐ป
The Mua Soft Nudes Eye Shadow Palette has a collection of 15 highly
pigmented nude toned matte & shimmer-foil eye shadow shades. They
all have a soft and silky texture that blend well to create a multiple
of subtle and bold eye looks. The shades in the palette names are: Top
row - Heels or Flats, Group Chat, Girls Trip, Sleepover, Out Out. Middle
Row - Duvet Day, Afternoon Tea, BFF, To The Spa, Espresso Martini.
Bottom row - Let's Do Brunch, Rosรฉ, Cocktails, Movie Night, Shopping
Spree. Such beautiful shades that can be applied with a cosmetic brush
or your finger. The metallic shadows are just amazing. Itโs good value
for money, for sure. They feel creamy, and look so beautiful. I highly
recommend.
I'm really excited to share the Sephora Favorites 'The Makeup Extravaganza' with my younger sister. It's her first time visiting me in the UK, we have a birthday on the same day, 12th of January, and we'll be celebrating our birthdays together, yet we're not twins, how crazy. As she turns 23 and is just starting her makeup adventure, I think this gift set, filled with essential makeup tools and fantastic products, would be the ideal beginning for her. Meanwhile, I plan to treat myself to the 'Beauty Has No Age' Gift Set, as it's important for me to care for my facial skin as I grow older.

I purchased this product last year and recently acquired a new bottle. Given the scorching heat we experienced last year, the added protection from both UVA & UVB rays in this bottle made it an excellent choice for safeguarding my skin. Itโs versatile and can be applied to your body and face. The squeeze top makes application easy and convenient. Apply it 15 minutes before heading out, just a quick spray, and youโre good to go. The compact size allows you to carry it in your handbag for touch-ups. I preferred reapplying it every 90 minutes, and it provided exceptional protection.
This product contains Vichy Mineralizing Water and Hyaluronic Acid, which leaves your skin feeling incredibly soft and well-hydrated. Being water-based, it suits all skin types, including sensitive skin. It absorbs quickly into your skin without leaving a greasy residue or causing any stains on your skin or clothes. Itโs available in both SPF30 and SPF50, providing high-level protection. Personally, I opt for SPF50, as I have very fair skin, and I didnโt experience any sun damage last year. Itโs like magic in a bottle that lasts, conveniently coming in a 200ml size. Must have every year now
I recently discovered the Vichy Mineral 89 for the face, and I have to say, it has become an absolute staple in my skincare routine. This product is truly amazing and has made a massive difference in the appearance and hydration of my skin.
First and foremost, the hydration this product provides is unparalleled. As someone with dry and dehydrated skin, finding a product that effectively locks in moisture has been a never-ending quest. However, since incorporating Vichy Mineral 89 into my daily routine, my skin feels incredibly hydrated and nourished throughout the entire day. This has resulted in a noticeable improvement in the overall texture and suppleness of my skin.
One of the standout features of this product is its lightweight and fast-absorbing formula. It glides on effortlessly, instantly sinking into the skin without leaving any greasy or sticky residue behind. This makes it ideal for both morning and evening use, seamlessly integrating into any skincare regimen.
I have also noticed a significant difference in the overall radiance and plumpness of my skin since using Mineral 89. It acts as a powerful booster, enhancing the effectiveness of other skincare products I use. It serves as a perfect base for my makeup, helping it glide on smoothly and flawlessly.
Additionally, I appreciate the fact that the Vichy Mineral 89 is formulated with a high concentration of Vichy Mineralizing Thermal Water, which is known for its hydrating and soothing properties. It's free from parabens, fragrances, and oils, making it suitable for even the most sensitive skin.
In conclusion, winning the Vichy Mineral 89 would be a dream come true. It has become an irreplaceable part of my skincare routine and has revolutionized the way my skin looks and feels. I cannot imagine going a day without it! If you're seeking a game-changing, hydrating, and transformative product for your skin, I wholeheartedly recommend giving Vichy Mineral 89 a try. Trust me, your skin will thank you!

If you are in to floral scent , well this one is definitely for you . With an unique combination of rose , lotus, lily's and woody notes , it is a full expression of a delicate bit yet very imposing scent. A very long lasting scent that stays so well on clothes, up to 1 week or more , and on the skin , the pulse areas around 15 hours, this is the most longevity scent that I ever used . The botle design is so unique and reflects the origin on the creator, Issey Miyake, the Japanese stylish creation. Welk impressed with this one .
๐ฏ๐ฝ๐ ๐ช๐๐น๐พ๐๐ถ๐๐ ๐๐๐พ๐๐๐๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐ ๐น๐ถ๐ธ๐๐๐๐ + ๐ซ๐ฝ๐๐๐๐ธ๐๐๐ถ๐๐พ๐น๐๐ ๐คThis is so easy to embed into your everyday skincare regimen. I've been using this as my Step 3 'Seal' as part of TO's 'Prep, Treat, & Seal' guide, to help with barrier repair & dry skin targeting. My barrier was recently compromised & I was diagnosed with Perioral Dermatitis, this has helped repair my skin condition incredibly. It's gentle, super rich & replenishing, with no active ingredients. It has a gorgeous nourishing formula that leaves my skin feeling glossy, smooth, radiant & hydrated. This seals in moisture so well & is perfect when your skin needs TLC.Phytoceramides are a plant-derived Ceramide. They help to improve the look of skin quality, for a fresher, more plumped appearance. They are great for dry, or sensitive skin but because they're non-drying & noncomedogenic, it means they're great for all skin types.You get 100ml for ยฃ20 & you only need a very small amount, so the tube will last ages! It's very comparable to Skinfix Triple Lipid Moisturiser IMO, but without the hefty price tag!
I have quite pale skin that is combination/oily in the summer and combination/dry in the winter, I break out easily if I use the wrong products on my face.
What I love about this foundation is that it's oil free, so lightweight that it doesn't feel like your wearing any and it has micro-fil technology.
This is your skin only better more luminous, dewy and flawless.
Did I mention it's blemish blurring and hides redness and imperfections too.
This makes my skin look like the perfect flawless canvas.
As well as improving my skin texture, it brightens, sculpts and hydrates my skin throughout the day.
It's a buildable coverage so you can have a light base or a full coverage base, even if you build it up it doesn't look cakey or leave foundation lines just a natural looking, flawless, blemish free skin glow.
I did put to much on once but it still looked flawless and you couldn't tell, my skin looked just perfect.
The good news is that it doesn't sink into fine lines and wrinkles either
It didn't feel greasy in any way or break me out, at the end of the day my skin still looked as fresh and flawless as it did when I first applied it in the morning.
I get loads of compliments about how amazing my skin looks when wearing it.
It looks even more beautiful in the summer when the sun hits your skin, but I think it is also good for the winter when your skin can look dull, grey and lifeless.
This foundation to me is worth every penny and I will definitely be buying more when I run out.
(I use shade 5)
I have been taking special care of the area around the eyes since I was about 20 years old and now (42 years old)๐ I dare to say that I have tried enough products to be able to judge whether a product is worth it or not.
In essence... As I wrote a while ago, Vida Glow eye contour cream impressed me initially as a way of presentation, but two-three weeks later I can already say that my sympathies are not only in terms of packaging. To be honest, I was impressed even after the first few times I used it, but I'm not a fan of sharing an opinion on a skincare product after 1-2 uses (it's not serious).๐
Well, a wonderful cream. A very gentle texture, medium thick, which spreads over the skin like butter. It absorbs quickly, does not leave a greasy or sticky layer, but a very nice brightening. The sensation is of perfect hydration. A great makeup base.
It has a delicate fragrance which, at least for me, does not cause any adverse reactions, even though I have sensitive eyes and wear glasses.
Unfortunately, however, I found that it is no longer available on the Sephora site, even though I purchased mine about a month ago.๐
The Vichy Dercos Densi-solutions have a fabulous conditioner for my hair that was thinning on the front left of my scalp, I have been treating it with this for about 1.5 months (& conditioning the rest of my hair with the Vichy Multi-Protein Mask) & it has worked wonders in encouraging new & faster hair growth, by quite a bit too. I am amazed with the results, in this time the rest of my hair has grown half an inch at most, whereas the treated area has grown at least 2 inches (my hair grows really slowly normally). The formular is enriched with Rhamnose, a naturally occurring sugar that improves scalp health for stronger hair growth, Ceramides that help to reinforce hair & improve structural damage that leads to brittleness & peppermint oil, that improves hair growth by stimulating the scalp (this is where some of the lovely scalp tingle comes from I believe) & has hair loss prevention properties, a fabulous combination for effective hair growth. Has a lovely natural but mild minty smell, not at all synthetic, an amazing treatment for thinning & weak hair, feels so soft, smooth and easier to manage after using this & the thinning area has thickened up significantly in this time. I highly recommend this product to anyone with thinning hair or hair that snaps off at the weak root due to over dyeing & bleaching (like me for the last 25+ years), it has done wonders for my hair and stimulating the scalp to grow strong, thick and healthy hair.
I have used so many types of SPF sunscreens but this formula is by far the best because it gives high protection against UVA, UVB, ultra-long UVA rays and sun exposure. I wear sunscreen all year round as my daytime moisturiser whenever I am outside.
This formula is light weight, non-greasy and runny that easily absorbs into your skin and doesnโt look greasy and shiny and a little goes a long way so you donโt need too much. I love the fact that it spreads easily, sinks in almost instantly and leaves my skin smooth with no white cast or greasiness and no heavy shine, just a subtle glow. Itโs suitable for sensitive skin and itโs non-fragranced that means no irritation to your skin. And itโs made of 100% recycled materials so, it can be recycled and environmental friendly.
How To Apply:
I apply this sun cream daily under my make up and it didnโt affect my make up look. Itโs lightweight with no residue or yellow left behind on my face, it perfect sunscreen just make sure to shake the bottle as itโs a liquid form and you can reapply frequently and especially after sweating, towel-drying or swimming.
Key features:
1: Lightweight, invisible facial sunscreen for all skin types.
2: Offers broad-spectrum protection against UVA, UVB and ultra-long UVA rays.
3: Resistant to water, sweat and sand.
4: Non-sticky formula that doesnโt leave white marks.
5: Minimalist, hypoallergenic formula thatโs tested been on sensitive skin.
6: Features a travel-friendly design with a mess-free nozzle.
I am very impressed with this cleansing balm in terms of scent, packaging and performance.
Comes in a large pot of a pale green colour with a silver mirrored lid , comfortable while holding too. Once the lid is removed , you are surrounded with a gentle, soft and delicate fig and flowery scent of the balm that invites you to used it and feel the luxurious benefits of this wonderful cleansing balm.
It has a faded yellowish colour , that it transformed in to a clear balm once it melts away
while applying it on the skin.
Absolutely love this, melts away all make up with ease, especially your mascara even the waterproof one , just make sure you gently use your fingers wo massage the eyelashes without putting it much pressure on them. It is so gentle & doesnโt irritate eyes at all.
With a mix of oils and butters this cleansing balm is a truly luxurious spa skincare routine that makes your skin feeling deeply cleansed, soothed and unbelievable soft.
After removing the balm with the Elemis cloth provided with the balm , my skin felt soft , hydrated and refreshed.
I would love to mention that this has being used for a month now and there is still left 3/4 of the balm left in the jar , so this will definitely go a very long way.
A product that I will definitely recommend to be tried and this will make you used it in the future.
What is the foundation of your beauty routine? Mine is definitely cleansing... It's where my journey began, and it's still my favourite part of my routine.
Gender stereotypes in the 1970s meant all little girls played with makeup from about the age of 5 (although my blue Rimmel eyeshadow also doubled as a Star Trek communicator, when we were playing in the garden... I also used to draw little tattoos on myself with my mum's kohl pencil, colour them with lipsticks and set them with her face powder ๐คฃ)
But my skincare journey really began aged 11, when I started buying my own. I started small... my friend was an Avon rep (surely not legal now or then, but we didn't question it, and gave her all our pocket money). I used to buy Avon oatmeal face bars to wash my face with.
That lasted about a year until I decided I didn't like soap. Then I moved onto my first bottle of Anne French. At that point I didn't wash my face with water again until I left school, relying on only cleansing fluid and toners.
Once I started earning my own money, it was onwards and upwards... My bestie at the time worked for Kanebo in Harrods, and i discovered Japanese skincare for the first time. I discovered that oil-based cleansers, followed by a regular face wash with a brush, were so much better. I bought a moisturiser too! ๐คฃ
I've been adding each new skincare development into the mix (as money permitted), until we're at the present day.
And just like when I was 11, all my disposable income still goes on skincare and makeup ๐๐คฃ๐I'd love to hear your skincare journeys ๐ฅฐ๐
