Shellacked to Perfection

This was the first Skindinavia spray I purchased because I had already tried all the Urban Decay versions that they license from Skindinavia and this was the next/final step. If this didn't keep your make up tight, basically nothing would right? I actually wore this on my wedding day and it kept my highlight and contour stunning in our pictures. But I have to agree with one reviewer who said that it left their skin feeling "crusty." It feels more tacky on skin than Skindinavia The Makeup Finishing Spray I have, but helps resist more fading and melting than anything else I've tried.

Great for Layering with Others

Instead of other orange blossom fragrances that smell more like the fruit than its preceding flower, Jo Malone's version doesn't disappoint. I used to collect the orange blossom petals from our gardens for my mom to dry into tea and this perfume brings me back to those moments immediately. It smells so natural and not synthetic at all. I layer this on top of the Pomegranate Noir and I smell like a veritable garden of Eden.

Juicy Summer Notes in a Bottle

This is 1 of my absolute favorite Jo Malone scents. I was first attracted to the line by their "blossom" fragrances that I couldn't seem to find elsewhere that smelled close enough to the garden blooms I recall from my childhood. Nectarine Blossom & Honey smells like juicy ripening nectarines as the sun is setting over the orchard. Simply heavenly and I just adore this decades long time favorite.

Cool Solution for Gritty, Itchy Eyes

I rub my eyes a lot because I exist in a state of constant dehydration despite all the water I drink (what gives body?). On days where I simply cannot stop rubbing my eyes and the skin by my inner and outer tear duct feels raw and itchy, Klorane's patches are truly soothing and relaxing. I keep these in the fridge for maximum cooling and use these are the final punch to tired undereye skin that's been rubbed the wrong way. These definitely helps smooth sins away from the night before and the smooth velvety texture on both sides feel ultra plush and comforting.

Just Right!

Like another reviewer said; this texture is not too thin, not too thick. I've tried some eye creams which turned out to be way waxy & thick, causing milia to form on my undereye area before. Thankfully I haven't noticed that reaction after using this eye cream day and night for the past 4 days, despite the fact that this eye cream contains shea butter of all ingredients! There's no notable fragrance and I find myself reaching for this eye cream more than the SULWHASOO Essential Rejuvenating Eye Cream I have.

The packaging is really unique for an eye cream instead of having a bunch of tubs cluttering your medicine cabinet and bathroom counter, you have a lovely slim vertical tube that can tuck right next to your other moisturizers and treatments. I find myself knocking at least 3 other products over trying to get to another product at times so I really appreciate Pai's point of difference here. Plus I don't feel like I'm pumping out $5 worth of product every time.

Luxurious Moisture

I was suspicious of this oil at first, especially since it wasn't in a UV protective package and rosehip oil can turn rancid as it oxidizes due to exposure to light and heat. But I love the way this oil hydrates my skin as the cold weather and indoor heating saps my skin of moisture. Definitely feel like it rebalances the dryness in the cheeks but doesn't overly make my T-zone shiny. My skin has become drier as I've aged so it may not be good for combo/oily skin but for my dry to combination skin it's been quite lovely. Since it's CO2 extracted, I definitely feel like there's a bit of a smell to it that's not like cold-pressed rosehip oil. It's not unpleasant but if you're familiar with other CO2 extracted oils, you'll know what smell I'm talking about. I use about 3-4 drops after my actives and before my moisturizer day and night for an added boost.
