“I love the brush as it really separates the lashes well for the application to go on well. The product it’s self is great you can apply first time, without having to reload the brush. And not thick and heavy on the lash at the end of the day”

Mario Badescu Drying Lotion
Breakout-prone skin stands no chance against the Mario Badescu Drying Lotion. Made with a winning blend of calamine and salicylic acid to banish blemishes without irritating the surrounding skin, this overnight treatment is spot on, literally.
“This is amazing for any whiteheads, I place a small amount and let it dry overnight, also do in the day if I know I’m staying home! This dries out your spots in the way you want it to, and also prevents me from picking at them which inadvertently reduces the risk of scarring- would re purchase”
Olivia
“For those struggling with REALLY persistent spots that are sometimes like cystic acne, this product is a life saver. I’ve spent a lot of time researching, spending money and getting very frustrated with products that do not seem to clear these spots up but the fantastic thing about the drying lotion is that it minimises the spot and area around it meaning the spot often doesn’t have the chance to develop. Since using this product in targeted areas my face has been looking so much clearer and I’ve been getting lots of compliments as to how lovely my skin looks. I use the drying lotion last thing at night but ensure I use a nice water based moisturiser in the morning to keep the balance. BUY IT <3”

The Ordinary Coverage Foundation SPF15
Lightweight, formula? Check. Full coverage? Check. SPF protection? Check. 1,000 reviews across the shades? Check. Yep, The Ordinary Coverage Foundation SPF15 has got it all. Btw, when it launched, this fool-proof foundation gained a 25,000+ waitlist… really, it’s that good.
“i’m in love with this foundation, it only takes a little bit to do your entire face and it looks so flawless even after a full day of wearing it”
amy
“My gosh, this foundation is great for oily skin. It is a waterbased and lightweight foundation for everyday or on your holiday. And yes, I’m guilty I wore it to the beach to cover my hyperpigmentation and some blemishes. Honey I looked bomb with my flawless skin and my highlighter popping. Don’t judge, I’m a single girl living my best life! Anyway back to the foundation haha. It has an spf in it and is none sticky or greasy. 2 Drops is enough for the entire face, but you can still use it for a full face make up look as well. Since it is so thin, you can layer it perfectly and top it of with a concealer. Safe to say that I’m a fan.”
