Real Results!

I have used this mask for the past few mornings and I'm pleasantly surprised to see that my skin looks a lot brighter and tighter.

I cleanse with a super gentle cleanser to get the remnants of last night's oils and serums off my skin, then apply this mask and leave it on while I hop in the shower (like 5 minutes). There is a slight tingle towards the end of that time but nothing super intense. I rinse this off with my konjac sponge to reveal bright, smooth skin.

I really love the concept of this brand- simple, no fuss skincare that works. Impressive!

HG Skin Product

I am an exfoliation aficionado and this serum is quickly becoming my go-to. There is a little tingling sensation upon application which I appreciate (that means it's working, right?!) but nothing too crazy. I let this absorb, then I follow up with the Niacinamide serum and then my oil and eye cream. I love the addition of hyaluronic acid to this formula because it keeps my skin from feeling dry.

When I use this treatment, I wake up to smoother and visibly tighter skin with no redness. I plan on using this on my décolletage a few days a week because I've started to notice some slight wrinkles and discoloration but for the price, I can afford to slather this serum all over. The packaging is also very well done. Great product!

Bye, Pores!

I used to use a similar Niacinamide/Zinc serum but I found it too sticky and I didn’t see great results. I have been using this serum and have noticed a definite reduction in pore size, and overall the texture of my skin looks much smoother.

I use this in the morning with my Vitamin-C serum (I use pure Ascorbic Acid, not a derivative form) and then in the evening after the Overnight Exfoliating Treatment. I’m not sure if it’s the combination of serums or this one in particular, but the one-two punch of the acids and niacinamide has made a noticeable difference for my skin as far as texture and brightness. The packaging is also very thoughtful- simple, easy to understand, and there seems to be a scraper in the bottle to prevent excess product clinging to the dropper. Love it!

Shockingly Effective and Super Gentle

I am an exfoliation junkie: acids, peels, scrubs, I've gotta have them all! I was very skeptical of this exfoliator because I typically enjoy a tingle with my products, and this thick, honey-like gel simply warmed up on my skin with no tingle or burn at all. I spent about 2-3 minutes really massaging it into my skin before adding water, which turned the gel into a milky liquid that rinsed away really easily.

I was pretty surprised to find that my face was the softest I've ever felt after an exfoliation, with no redness or dry, tight feeling. This product also seemed to provide an oil cleansing effect because I noticed that some of my congested areas were suddenly clear.

When I woke up this morning, my skin was still amazingly smooth and soft. This is a fantastic option for those with sensitive skin and people that cannot tolerate acids. I will actually repurchase this even though I can use stronger products because I love the effect that much.

At 30 years old, I don't quite have an issue with wrinkles under the eyes but I am going to do everything I can to prevent that from happening! I use this eye cream before bed because it is super thick and hydrating, although it doesn't feel greasy or heavy on the skin. I notice a definite brightening effect and while I can't speak to the anti-aging benefits, I have not had any of the normal dry irritation in the sensitive under eye area that I normally get during the winter months. It's so rich that a tiny bit goes a long way and I will probably get about 9-10 months easily out of my jar.

There is definitely a scent to this, but it's luxurious and has not caused any irritation for me. The jar also looks so adorable on my vanity!

HG Lip Balm

This is hands down the best lip balm on planet Earth. It is slightly sweetly scented and it goes on like a dream. I use this every evening after exfoliating my lips, and every morning to prep for makeup and I have not had to deal with dry chapped lips since starting this routine, even through the winter. I also love that the Atoderm line is made for those with dry, sensitive skin so the balm has absolutely nothing in it that will irritate your lips further like some other drugstore medicated lip balms.

This is honestly a hidden gem on the Beautylish site at a steal of a price!

Long Wearing and Super Comfortable

This foundation applies beautifully and is buildable to a medium coverage, and it just feels really nice and light on the skin. The finish is dewy and natural and I was surprised to notice that it literally did not move or change color all day- I applied it around 6am and was home around 4:30pm and my face looked exactly the same when I checked it.

This formula does not need to be set with powder, but that makes me nervous and I did not try this because I do have some T-zone oil issues. But based on it's performance, I would believe that you don't need any powder if you have dry or normal skin.

I cannot emphasize enough just how amazing this foot peel actually is. You get two little booties that are pre-filled with the treatment gel that you wear for an hour to 90 minutes (I went for the full 90) and then you just rinse the gel off your feet. That's it. I did not expect anything to really happen because there was no tingly feeling at all and to be honest I kind of forgot about it because nothing happened for a solid two days after using this.

Then- magic! I noticed in the shower that the bottom of my feet looked kind of weird- almost crackly. For the next week or so, all of the skin on my feet just came off in sheets. If you are squeamish, maybe avoid looking too hard at what's going on, but I'm into gross things and it was just fascinating. I would highly recommend wearing socks while your foot skin sloughs off, because I'm not exaggerating when I say your skin will literally fall off in large pieces.

Once your foot skin has finished shedding, a new glorious and baby soft foot emerges. I could not believe how buttery smooth my feet were and how transformed my awfully dry, cracked heels became. The results lasted me a few months, but as I mentioned I would not recommend using this in the Summer when your bare feet will be exposed for any length of time. This is my new spring-time prep ritual, for sure!

The 'I woke up like this' glow

This Shimmering Skin Perfector legit turns my dull, sad, pale face into that of a glowing, dewy, naturally beautiful person. I mix a little of this with my foundation and- the bottle is not lying- my skin looks perfected. The shimmer is not so much a glitter than a glow, and seems to blur all of my spots and scarring. I'm not kidding, this product gives me my dream post-yoga, ate a balanced diet and got 8 hours of sleep skin. Possibly my HG face product.

This has quickly become my new favorite gloss. I have the shade 'Peach Fuzz' and it's such a flattering, pinky nude color that I find myself constantly reaching for it as I'm running out the door because it seems to compliment a lot of looks. I love how non-fussy this formula is- it doesn't feel heavy or sticky, in fact it feels like a moisturizing balm more than a gloss.

And the scent- ohmigosh the scent! It's really like a juicy and delicious peach with some vanilla ice cream. It tastes pretty nice too ;)
