#ad info | @yepoda very kindly sent me some produc #ad info | @yepoda very kindly sent me some products to review. I’ve seen this brand floating around for a while but hadn’t tried anything from them until now. Here are my first impressions… 🫧 The Bubble Double – A gentle foaming cleanser that leaves my skin feeling clean without drying it out. My new go-to for my second cleanse! 🕯️ The Calm Balm – Removes makeup really well without leaving a greasy residue behind. The texture feels a little firm to begin with but it quickly melts down into the skin. ☕️ The Depuff Eyespresso – Perfect for a little pick-me-up when your eyes are looking a bit tired. The first few patches were a little dry (the serum didn’t quite reach the top of the jar) but I could still feel the cooling effect all the same! 🌞 The Day Light – A super lightweight, oil-free moisturiser that sits well under makeup and provides just the right amount of hydration for my combo skin in the summer. I’d be interested to see how my skin copes with this in the winter too. One thing that I also have to mention about Yepoda is their sustainable packaging. All of these products come in glass tubs or bottles which can either be recycled or reused once you’re finished with them. Yepoda also does refills for some of their products to cut down on packaging waste too. Have you tried anything from Yepoda yet? Look out for a full review coming soon on my blog 👀
# ad | Gifted What are your thoughts on pH adapti # ad | Gifted What are your thoughts on pH adaptive products? The @pixibeauty LipTone gloss is designed to react to your lips’ pH, creating a custom colour that’s unique to you. It comes in six shades, three of which have a shimmery finish and naturally, those are the ones I had to try. I’ve swatched SnowPearl, GoldGleam and PinkPatina so you can see how they look. The glitter-flecked formula is so pretty, and I do find the gloss to be decently moisturising. But, as with most pH reactive products, when this settles in it just turns a hot pink colour on me. I almost wish this also came in a non-colour-changing version, as I’d happily wear the shimmery formula on its own!
#ad | Products gifted It’s been a while since I’v #ad | Products gifted It’s been a while since I’ve tried a new liquid blush, so I was super excited when three shades of Pixi’s LiquidGlow Blush - Subtly, Pretty, and Fresh - landed on my doorstep. Designed to deliver an effortless, healthy-looking flush, this serum blush promises a lightweight, breathable formula with a ‘second-skin’ feel. On the skin, the finish is beautifully dewy with an almost balmy texture. It feels really hydrating and gives a fresh, radiant glow that’s perfect for dry, dull skin. That said, the colour payoff wasn’t quite what I expected, especially when it comes to the two lighter shades. While I loved the vibrancy of Fresh (the brightest of the three shades), Subtly and Pretty (when properly blended) barely showed up on my skin and seemed to disappear shortly after I applied them. Unfortunately, the shimmer was more noticeable than the actual blush colour! I love the formula so just wish the lighter shades packed a little more pigment! Swipe for swatches ➡️ Have you tried the @pixibeauty LiquidGlow Blush? What was your experience?

#ad | Products gifted @ylwclub recently sent me t #ad | Products gifted @ylwclub recently sent me their Day Cream and Night Cream to try out - a duo I didn’t know I needed until now! The Day Cream is light and gel-like, offering a ton of hydration while still feeling weightless on the skin. It dries down to a non-tacky finish which looks lovely under makeup. This is going to be a summer staple for sure! The Night Cream has already firmly embedded itself into my PM routine. I love how rich and nourishing this is - my skin just drinks it up. It’s the kind of moisturiser that can make you look like you’ve had a good night’s sleep, even if you’ve only had 3 hours. I’m really enjoying using this one! If you want to try these out, you can use my code THESUMMERSTUDY20 for 20% off 😊
