Starting off we are going to talk about the end all be all cleanser, I will forever be heartbroken if they ever stop making this cleanser, it’s the Glamglow Supercleanse clearing cream-to-foam cleanser, and wow, let me tell you does this cleanser really work and do the job.

My first Glamglow Cleanser tested (and only) is called Supercleanse and it is a Cream to Foam Cleanser. The rich Cleanser turns into a cleansing foam on contact with water, which reliably removes make-up, dirt, impurities and excess oil and refines the pores – ideal for oily and impure skin. Glamglow’s famous TEAOXI technology with eucalyptus leaf oil combines the Supercleanse Cream to Foam Cleanser with Linola oil, which is known for its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties, and two types of clay that intensively clarify and matt the skin; A mix of bamboo, Ubame wood and coconut charcoal is also wonderfully refreshing. The Supercleanse by Glamglow is gentle on the skin, my skin is not dried out by the application and then feels cleansed without tension.

SIDE NOTE ➡️ Glamglow is very pricey so if you want to buy any Glamglow, buy it from The Cosmetic Company Store where you can find it up to 50% off, as well as a lot of money saving kits to try other products from the line! (see photo below)

Next product is the viral Glow Recipe PHA-BHA toner with watermelon, of course! Can’t forget a famous watermelon added into the toner. When you sprinkle it into your hand and pat it onto your face, you’ll notice the toner has a satisfyingly sticky texture to it due to its cactus water base. Instead of formulating the fluid with pure water, Glow Recipe selected cactus water because it helps skin retain moisture just as the plant on your windowsill does for itself. According to Los Angeles-based dermatologist Harold Lancer, cactus water prevents moisture loss because it’s rich in electrolytes. Basically, the toner is like watermelon Gatorade for your face. It’s gentle enough to incorporate in your morning and nighttime routines. PHAs, for those unfamiliar, offer the most gentle chemical exfoliation of all the acids.

The next product I’ve been using for 5 months now and it’s a game changer for my skin, it’s the Glo Skin Beauty Beta-Clarity BHA drops. I can also justify the price of this serum because it’s so thin that only two drops are needed to cover my entire face and neck. After applying it, my skin instantly feels tight and oil-free. The rest of my products work better and ultimately, my complexion looks smooth and plump. Glo Skin Beauty Beta-Clarity BHA Drops helps stimulate mild exfoliation, improving the appearance of texture with retinol, glycolic acid and salicylic acid. These ingredients also draw out impurities, minimizing the look of pores for clearer, refined skin. Ideal for addressing uneven skin texture and resolving breakouts.

Hey guys what’s up! I’m going to be starting to write more on my blog as I feel like I’ve left you guys out of the loop for a while as I’ve been posting mini reviews and all my PR packages on my instagram account (@camichaelll) but I feel like I reach more of you via my blog! So with that said it’s almost the holiday season so many companies have already been sending out holiday sets which I love, with it almost being a new year I figured I’d start my little series where I review what I feel has been the best in beauty for 2022, so let’s get started and jump right in!

First concealer of 2022 I want to talk about is the E.L.F Camo Concealer which is an amazing drugstore concealer with coverage that is unmatched for concealing blemishes or hyperpigmentation, I would not advise this concealer to be used under eye as it can be drying and crease quite a bit, but if you have any spots to conceal it’s unmatched. Below are some claims from the brand,

Full coverage finish
16 hour wear
Can be used to conceal, correct, contour & highlight
Highly pigmented formula
Lightweight texture
Dries to a matte finish with an oil-balancing formula
Won’t settle into creases or lines
Suitable for all skin types
Large doe-foot applicator for easy application

The shade range is pretty good I think. In terms of the lighter shades which I am most familiar with, the selection is excellent. They go very light, which is often lacking in many ranges. I’m pretty pale and I think I can actually use one of the lighter medium shades. It makes fast work of redness, pigmentation, blemishes, imperfections and pores, and blends effortlessly into the skin.

SIDE NOTE ➡️ I do want to also mention that they did also come out with a hydrating version of this concealer which I have not tried but I hear it’s unmatched for under eye area vs. the original

For the second concealer of 2022 would be the viral Kosas Revealer concealer which you’ve been on TikTok recently, you’ve probably heard about it. It covers darkness under my eyes, redness by my nose, and post-acne hyperpigmentation around my chin. It has a doe-foot applicator that makes it easy to apply. It has medium coverage, which means it provides enough coverage to actually conceal but not so much that it no longer looks like skin. It’s also formulated with lots of skin-care benefits, like caffeine to fight dark circles and puffiness, hyaluronic acid and peptides to visibly plump and hydrate skin, and arnica to calm redness and inflammation.

This product is best for people who want to master that no-makeup makeup look. It makes your skin look like skin, and it’s not cakey, nor does it crease or wear off easily. If you want something you can just throw in your bag for quick touchups, this is a great concealer. It’s also a good concealer if you have darkness or red spots; it can cover them all. If you’re looking for a clean makeup product that works, I’d highly recommend giving this a try.

For my third concealer of 2022 I’m going a little more high end as I feel this is a mix of lowest cost to highest, also, it’s the PR list I love being on, Tom Ford Beauty is here to slay the game with their newest launch to date, Yes I’m talking about Shade and Illuminate Concealer, firstly, wow, this concealer is worth the price point of 125.00$ CAN.

The concealer is full coverage but still looks incredibly natural and never looks heavy. The formula blends so effortlessly and looks very skin-like, if you use just the right amount. While it is expensive, a little bit goes such a long way. The concealer is correcting, brightening, and perfecting.

This concealer formula is VERY pigmented! You need just a tiny speck to cover pigmentation, spots, and even under the eyes. I don’t typically gravitate towards a full coverage concealer because they tend to be so thick and heavy; however, this concealer is neither heavy nor too thick. It does have a thicker texture than I would typically reach for but the formula blends out so well and it doesn’t look heavy. I will say, you can easily go overboard and make this look heavy and it will end up sinking into your lines and crevices if you apply too much! I notice this when I was actually at the counter and the sales associate told me she was wearing this concealer and she looked younger than me but, she had so much concealer under her eyes, it looked cakey, heavy, and it emphasized every line around her eyes. Also, the first time I applied it around my nose to hide my redness and I applied much too much and it really sank into the creases of my nose and made my skin look heavy and wrinkly in that area.

➡️ In closing, my final thoughts are this concealer is a winner, and you can buy Shade and Illuminate here
