  • Charlotte Tilbury Magic Night Cream

    Be forewarned: this night cream is so greasy and sticky and stays that way until the next morning. You do wake up with plumper looking skin, but I'm not sure it's worth the mess on the pillow.

  • Tatcha Silken Pore Perfecting Sunscreen

    I never knew I could have so many feelings for a sunscreen. Tatcha got everything right with this one. I despise wearing sunscreen. They all make me break out. They feel greasy under your makeup. They're just something you deal with. Except for this one. It goes on like a dream -- it's mattifying and blurring, like a primer, and makes your skin look better. Wears so well under makeup and doesn't make you break out. I am in love. I'll never use anything else.

  • Gillette Venus Swirl Razor
    7.0

    Gillette Venus Swirl Razor

    Almost as good as men's blades

    I gave up on women's razors years ago, because men's are so much better. This one, however, actually comes close to the quality of the Gillette Mach3 that I typically buy. Though the design of the razor offends me (so cheap and juvenile-looking), it gave me a close, smooth shave with no nicks, and is still going strong two weeks later.

  • L'Occitane Almond Velvet Body Serum
    8.0

    L'Occitane Almond Velvet Body Serum

    Lightweight and effective body lotion

    This is a solid product, though definitely not my favorite from L'Occitane. The other products in their almond line smell so much better, in my opinion. That aside, this is the perfect body lotion for someone who wants a lightweight but effective moisturizer that truly absorbs so fast and feels like you're wearing nothing. I love using it right before bed, because I don't feel sticky or clammy between the sheets, but wake up with soft skin. I can't speak to any anti-aging benefits, though.

  • Indie Lee Coconut Citrus Body Scrub
    7.0

    Indie Lee Coconut Citrus Body Scrub

    Beautifully scented sugar scrub

    I love the bright, citrusy scent of this -- especially first thing in the morning. The sugar granules are rather rough, so you have to apply gently (or learn the hard way like I did). You do have to use quite a bit to cover your whole body -- but it is super moisturizing. Great pre-shaving ritual. And you don't need body lotion afterwards.

  • Clarins Mission Perfection Serum
    6.0

    Clarins Mission Perfection Serum

    Nice but not especially effective

    I really like the consistency of this serum -- like a light lotion. It feels nice going on and works well with my day cream, SPF, primer, etc. Still, I haven't noticed any difference in using this. It doesn't even wipe out new sun spots from a day at the beach. It might brighten the skin a bit, but does not do much in the way of eliminating dark spots.

  • Jo Malone Mimosa and Cardamom Cologne
    9.0

    Jo Malone Mimosa and Cardamom Cologne

    Hypnotic, comforting smell

    This cologne is so dreamy. I picture childhood summers in sepia -- which I guess is to say happiness and nostalgia in a bottle? I love this so much that I've even caught myself putting it on before bed. It's a creamy, citrusy scent that really goes with most occasions. And while I appreciate that the scent is light and doesn't knock you over when you put it on, I wish it lasted longer/had a bit more oomph so others would smell it and could appreciate it as much as I do. That said, I'm probably going to buy the entire line. Oh, also, the packaging is beyond gorgeous -- simple, refined, classic.

  • Glossier Boy Brow
    8.0

    Glossier Boy Brow

    For very natural-looking brows

    This brow mascara definitely lives up to all its claims. I adore how easily it can whip my brows into shape. The trend is definitely moving towards unstructured, more natural-looking brows, and this will help women achieve that. It combs them into perfectly feathered shapes and doesn't look at all like you're wearing anything. It holds all day, too. My only qualm is that this is really for women who already have nicely shaped brows. I don't have much in the tail department and this can't do much to fix it. But for days when I don't feel like filling in my eyebrows with pomade, this makes me feel put together.

  • Clarins Joli Rouge Lipstick
    8.0

    Clarins Joli Rouge Lipstick

    Really beautiful, luxe lipstick

    Supereasy to apply; nice, creamy consistency and solid color payoff. I bought 742, jolie rouge, a beautiful orange-y red. The color lasts a good four to five hours (it promises six, and probably delivers on some). Oddly, though, after reapplying a few times throughout the day, my lips started to feel ever so slightly dry, which seems problematic for a moisturizing lip color. But maybe it's the dry winter season. Regardless, I'll be using this lipstick regularly.

  • Circa Beauty Studio Edit Full Coverage Concealer

    This really isn't bad at all. I was surprised by its consistency. I thought it would feel like a grease pencil but it goes on smooth, has a velvety consistency and has pretty good medium coverage. Won't be my go-to, but I'll use it in a pinch. Good value.
