Beauty Product Reviews

A delightful splurge!

I love a scrub, and this is an absolute knockout. It's jam-packed with castor oil, sunflower oil, as well as rose butter, rose flower essential wax, and rosehip oil, making this a nourishing treatment all over. The scent of this product is also just delightful as it is the classic and ever-so-alluring rose scent, which isn't artificial at all. You're automatically transported to a rose garden. While it is a little pricey, I personally think that getting BY TERRY skincare in a body product. It is absolutely delightful, I urge everyone to try it!

Gentle, easy, and effective!

I personally have been wary of using retinol and the side effects you experience when using this ingredient. After a close friend mentioned that this was gentle enough to use under the eyes, I knew I had to try it. While retinol can often cause peeling, and tightness, this one gave me very little to no dryness and my skin never felt tight. I noticed results within 4 weeks of using the product. After finishing a tube of this wondercream, I can confirm that my skin feels smoother, and the stubborn hyperpigmentation I have around my cheeks has lessened. As for my under eye area, I’m lucky enough to say that this is more of a preventative product, and while I don’t see major differences, I do feel like products slide on and blend better. Overall I think this product is perfect for those who want to dip their toe into anti aging products, and effective enough for those more experienced users!

Shine bright like a diamond!

I have always really enjoyed the quality of highlighters that Anastasia has brought to the table. From her famous 4 pan palettes to the highly coveted Amrezy highlighter, ABH never lets us down. Welcome in her new set of glow getters, the glow seeker highlighter. All 3 shades are incredible and look gorgeous on any skin tone. These have an almost baked-like consistency making the formula buttery, and soft to the touch. A little definitely goes a long way, and it looks gorgeous along the cheekbones, or even layered to mimic eyeshadow for an extra glowy finish. I personally own Sun Idol, but I can't wait to collect the other 2 shades!

One pump, be gone!

I love a double cleanse, and while I am a huge fan of a cleansing balm, I do love the option of an oil as well. An oil is to me a lot tougher on some makeup that may be harder to take off. I use waterproof eyeliner, brow pencil, and mascara. To those familiar with this kind of heavy-duty makeup, we can all agree that often enough it does take a good scrubbing to try and get waterproof products off of the skin.

Apart from being amazing at removing makeup, the skincare benefits of using this product are major. This contains as the name shares, hyaluronic acid, which is the building block to ensuring the skin remains plump and hydrated. This specific hyaluronic acid, however, is sourced from okra, and mandarin orange extract which makes this formula even more so interesting, as they are drawn from natural and holistic sources. However, the number one reason this will stay in my shower is how they have incorporated licorice root extract. This powerhouse ingredient is not just helpful towards irritation, but helps and promotes brightening too!

If you need a step one that helps to not just cleanse but deeply nourish the skin this is the way to go!

A true luxury experience for your hands!

I am in love with this hand cream, and honestly, I think we need to discuss how important hand care is! This hand cream claims to be a "spa in a tube" and they were not lying. The scent of the lotion transports you to what I can only imagine is a luxurious massage room with serene candlelight everywhere. The subtle notes of lavender give the lotion a fresh, and clean scent, while also providing your hands with a delightful cooling and nourishing hydration.

The lotion itself dries to a non-greasy feel everyone can appreciate. While not leaving the hands with an overpowering perfume so it can be discreet for you to reapply as needed.

I love to do my nails, and I also love to cook, which means I am constantly washing my hands or picking at them in some sort of way. This lotion provides comfort to my dry hands. A true luxury to keep on hand, I love it!

Effortless curls, minimal product needed!

I love my curls and have embraced my curly hair throughout the years. I love wearing my hair curly but what I don't love is the amount of products needed to have defined frizz free curls. I personally did not believe the claims that this mask would promote definition, moisture, and frizz control, it just seemed to good to be true!

I quickly ate my words in only one use! I shampooed and used this mask for about ten minutes, then rinsed with lukewarm water (as it is better for your hair!) and let my hair air dry without any products to give the mask a good test run. Upon my hair drying, I the definition was there, and more importantly the volume and moisturize allowed me to go product-free.

I personally still feel like product is needed, I topped my air-dried hair with a small dollop of the VERB Curl Cream and my curls have never looked and felt better. However, if you're in a pinch you can use this a wash-and-go as the product delivers on all fronts!

Perfect Skin in a bottle!

I love an exfoliating product and feel that although a chemical exfoliant is now the more popular option, nothing beats a good physical exfoliant. This powder is water-activated and a little goes a long way! It quickly foams up into a luxurious lather with the perfect amount of grittiness to slough away dead skin and other impurities that may be clinging on from the day.

This product is very coconut-heavy and has a slight milky scent which is very pleasing and calming. It is perfect for those who have rather sensitive skin so I can safely say most people should be able to use this without any hiccups. That being said, if your skin is super sensitive to fragrance you may want to check out a different product in their range!

Lastly, the real reason I'm giving this product a 5 out of 5, is the baby soft effect that they advertise. After rinsing off this foam exfoliant, my skin feels supple and soft. I love the immediate results, and will forever keep this in my skincare rotation!

The BEST dry shampoo EVER

I am not a huge fan of dry shampoo as I have never been able to fully one that leaves little to NO white cast. However, the search for that ended when I picked up a can of this VERB dry shampoo. The formula dries brown and for someone with dark hair like myself gives the perfect illusion of low lights and gives my hair some dimension. The product absorbs the perfect amount of oil and leaves a clean feeling on the scalp. I saw very little to no buildup which is perfect since dry shampoo can be a bit abrasive on your scalp. Lastly, the mark of a great dry shampoo is the scent and I was able to research that the notes you’re smelling are oatmeal and grapefruit. While these may seem like an odd pair, I can confirm that the gentle scent gives notes of soothing chamomile. This product sells outs quickly, so if you see it, grab a can!

Florals? For spring? GROUNDBREAKING 🌹🌸💐🌺🌷🌻🌼

I love a flower-based fragrance but I usually don't love a fruit note in my perfumes as they can be a bit too sweet. However, the dragonfruit and lychee make this perfume a trip to paradise. Think of it as smelling like your favorite Acai bowl but with a much more sophisticated twist with the gentle Vanilla notes that ground this scent. Perfect for the upcoming summer months and sunny spring days!

Perfect base!

I have tried products that claim to disappear pores and make the face a fresh canvas, and to be quite honest, I've never had much luck. However, this product really does blur and smoothen out any texture on the skin. I personally, apply it around my t-zone and all over my upper cheek area. I have tried this product both in the universal shade and the tinted shade number 4. I prefer the universal shade as it works best when used under my foundation.

However, if you're going for the minimal product look or just trying to make your makeup bag smaller, I do suggest picking up the product in your relative shade. The tint in the product is very light and incredibly forgiving making this product perfect for those looking to have a no-makeup look.

The formula is just butter which makes me super excited to try the Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder Flush products that she recently released.
