I got this Diamond Dust eyeshadow palette by a lesser known brand, Emori, on Amazon some years ago but I can’t seem to find it on there now. Moreover, I can’t find anything much about Emori Diamond Dust Eyeshadow when I Google it, it seems to only be available on sites like eBay for a little less than $20 (I remember it being very inexpensive). I wonder if it was discontinued? Does anyone have experience with Emori eyeshadows? I really like this palette and wanted to review it but the brand wasn’t listed. As you can see from the video this palette has been well-loved over the years, I’ve had it at least ten years and it’s probably so old I should throw it out but I just really like the colors and light glitter. They look good on any skin tone and eye color. I normally go for more natural or smoky colors, less vibrant, but this is fun. The color is very buildable, it goes on pigmented but kind of sheer and you can make it bolder by applying more shadow. I could use tips on how to apply eye makeup for sure, I just use my finger and wing it, but you can tell it’s nice for a 10 yr old inexpensive eyeshadow. I just wanted to recommend it in case you can find a new Emori palette somewhere. It would be fun for young people just starting out with eyeshadow too. My only gripe is that it feels a bit dry on my eyelids, like it’s not doing my skin any favors and I might have to apply eye cream after I remove it.

Emori Eyeshadows - Diamond Dust

I can find nothing bad to say about this face cream. 

I love this product since I’ve been using my sample, about a week. I might have to splurge on some, it’s pricey but retails under fifty dollars which is a fair deal considering the anti aging and pore-reducing and moisturizing benefits. It’s said to be especially good for oil/normal/combination skin, and I have oily. But my skin doesn’t look oily after using this - it absorbs the cream beautifully and is left with a healthy youthful glow. It soothes and calms irritated skin and redness. The texture and feel is heavenly. Definitely a Holy Grail. Perfect as a final step in a skincare routine, year-round. 

After using this product for two weeks straight, AM & PM, I noticed no real results as advertised. I was supposed to see dramatic anti-aging results but I just noticed my face a little firmer/plumper, but the effects went away as soon as I started using it less frequently. I find it overpriced for what it is and what it does. Plus it makes your skin a tiny bit sticky but that doesn’t last. And I got two annoying zits in my two weeks of using this product religiously. But the breakouts stopped with less frequent usage. 

I tend to love Lancôme products, and I was gifted this serum by Influenster in exchange for my honest review. This one is good. It has a very mild, almost nonexistent scent to it. You’re supposed to use it as the very first product after cleansing your skin and before another serum (optional - I use a very mild serum over it) and your moisturizer. What I like best is that it feels really nice on my skin. It is very popular, people seem to love it so I’d say is worth a try. It’s known to have excellent, effective anti-aging benefits that can be seen in as little as two weeks. I would recommend it for mature or maturing skin. 

This product, while formulated for all skin types (and while I find it mild and gentle), does recommend you patch test on your arm first. Apparently it doesn’t feel so mild and gentle on absolutely everyone. I’m disappointed with the amount of product in the bottle, I expected there to be more and know the bottle won’t last me very long. 

This product is vegan and contains plant-based Squalane (as the third ingredient listed!). I love the ingredients. I absolutely love the effect of squalane and oats on my skin and was excited to find both in a mild serum that is formulated for all skin types! It has a creamy, milky sort of texture and color. I use it as a second serum in my skincare routine these days but I would say this is the more effective of the two serums I use and by far less expensive. You’re supposed to dispense 2-5 drops on your face (I go with 5) and pat it gently into your skin before moisturizing. I love the scent most of all, it’s a natural citrusy fragrance and citrus scents have been proven to provide stress relief, and I do feel a moment of stress relief morning and night when I use this stuff. But the fragrance doesn’t linger. The product isn’t sticky at all, it’s moisturizing and seems to offer anti-aging benefits such as plumping and fewer fine lines. It also helps fight acne and smoothes your complexion! All for a reasonable price.

I cannot think of a single con to this lip scrub. It has lasted me years, and it remains a beautiful (and delicious) beauty product. I just love how smooth my lips feel too! And it doesn’t cause dependency on the lip balm like some out there can. 

My first Picky review! As far as lip sugar scrubs go, I would say this is a must-try. I love that the ingredients are natural and the formula is vegan and cruelty-free. In addition, noncomedogenic. It’s good stuff, I tend to use a little too much I think because it tastes so good, you only need a very little bit for the gentle exfoliation and lasting smooth & moisturized effect. Also, the scrubbing action reddens the lips very very subtly. I’m not normally a fan of sugar scrubs. But this is such an excellent lip balm. 

The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum by COSRX contains hyaluronic acid, NAG, and amino acid to address a plethora of skin concerns including evening skin tone, hydrating, firming and smoothing, pore and sebum concerns, and improving skin texture, along with other concerns. It texturizes and is good for blemishes. Etc. It does everything, alone or when used on clean skin before another serum or ampoule. If you do use it with another serum or ampoule, it will improve the effects of that product. 

The key is to keep using it, you won’t see instantaneous results but you should start noticing them after a few weeks and it just keeps getting better from there! 

This is affordable for the results you receive and it’s really a must have, an easy extra step in your skincare routine that you can feel good about.
