The Best Conscious Beauty Products I’ve Tried Lately

The Best Conscious Beauty Products I’ve Tried Lately

It’s that time of the year! Come find out the best conscious beauty products I’ve tried lately.

Despite being an unusual year for me (on many levels) and not wearing makeup as much as I usually would, I’ve still purchased many of this year’s launches and have occasionally put them to the test.

While some of these products were love at first sight, others required continuous use to get a clear idea of how they performed and if they were a good fit for me.

Overall, it was a good season in terms of beauty discoveries, encompassing makeup, skincare, and haircare. 

So, without further ado… here are the best conscious beauty products I’ve tried lately.

Skincare

Laneige Bouncy & Firm Sleeping Mask

Let’s start with an unpopular opinion: I am not a Laneige fan.

There, I’ve said it. I know that their lip masks are a holy grail product for many, but for some reason, it has never done wonders for my lips.

Despite having had a rough start with this brand, there was something in Laneige’s Bouncy & Firm Sleeping Mask that definitely caught my attention.

The concept behind this product is to bring our skin back to balance, treating targeted concerns (from extreme dryness to excess oil), plumping and firming as we sleep. Sounds great, right?

I have combination skin with occasional dryness (here and there), while I struggle to keep its oily tendency under control. It happens especially during peak winter (when the days are colder) and peak summer (after spending time in the sun).

When I purchased this sleeping mask, I feared that I would probably have to end up gifting it to my mom (a fan of the brand) like I did the past. Luckily for me, I ended up loving this product.

Where do I start? It has an airy-gel texture and a very faint (yet pleasant) scent, suitable for sensitive skin. The texture is easy to apply, and it feels super comfortable on the skin, providing an immediate hydrating sensation.

I’ve used it as an evening cream throughout most of the summer or whenever I was feeling particularly lazy to go through my full routine. Given my skin type, I apply a clay face mask once a week (to cleanse my pores) and Laneige’s Bouncy & Firm Sleeping Mask afterward - which has an incredibly soothing and nourishing effect. 

Beauty of Joseon Matte Sun Stick: Mugwort + Camilia (SPF 50+ PA++++)

Picture of Beauty of Joseon's sunscreen stick

As some of you may already know, I am a sunscreen fanatic. 

I might not apply all of my skincare routine (or just half of it) when I'm feeling lazy, but I never leave the house without applying sunscreen to my face.

Additionally, since I live in a sunny city (Madrid), I opt for sunscreen sticks to reapply throughout the day when I'm out and about. I've actually noticed that my skin becomes more sensitive when I'm out in the sun and haven't applied sunscreen for a few hours.

Despite loving Suntique’s I’m Derma Sunscreen Stick, the truth is I got a better performance with Beauty of Joseon’s Matte Sun Stick: Mugwort + Camilia (SPF 50+ PA++++).

Why? The package has a slightly larger opening, which makes the application product more convenient. The formula feels light on the skin and has a mattifying effect, which I really appreciate. And last but not least, the product itself lasts for an extended period - even when used daily, several times a day.

Needless to say, this is my favorite go-to sunscreen stick at the moment. I highly recommend it if you have oily or combination skin (like me) and you want to protect your skin on the go without adding more undesired shine to your face.

Ultra Violette Extreme Screen SPF 50+ Hydrating Body and Hand Skinscreen

Picture of Ultra Violette Extreme Screen sunscreen.

This summer, I've noticed that I'm not only picky about the textures and formulas of face sunscreens, but also the ones I apply all over my body.

After spending my entire life looking for a sunscreen that would be simple to apply and that felt pleasant on my skin (while protecting it from the sun), Ultra Violette’s Extreme Screen SPF 50+ Hydrating Body and Hand Skinscreen is the absolute winner (so far).

What surprised me the most? Its lightweight texture. Unlike most sunscreens I’ve tried before, this one didn’t feel pasty on the skin or uncomfortable between my fingers after applying it.

Despite now being a fan of products with a coconut scent, surprisingly, I can tolerate this one - as it’s incredibly light.

To release the product, simply twist the bottom of the package. This makes it more convenient than most products on the market, as it won't come loose or break. Also, it's way more easy to close when my hands still have sunscreen on them.

I’ve started by using a travel-size of this product and I liked it so much that I’ve ran to my nearest Sephora when I ran out of it.

However, there are two things that I don't love about this product: the price (retails for € 32.99) and the presence of small glitter particles (Edward Cullen style, I know).

But, for now, I’ll still keep using this one next summer.

Glossier Deodorant

I don’t know if it’s also your case, but I am always on the hunt for deodorants that are both reliable and eco-conscious (package and formula).

Even though this market segment has come a long way in the past decade, I still find it challenging to find something that does the trick and that I can recommend.

This year, I’ve splurged a good amount of money on conscious and bougie deodorants so I could put them to the test under Madrid’s scorching hot summer days (more on that in an upcoming article).

The result? Out of 4 pricey conscious deodorants, Glossier’s Deodorant was the absolute winner.

Available in four different formulas (two of which are unscented), I ended up ordering the Glossier You. Primarily due to its online hype, there is no physical Glossier store in Spain where I could visit and figure out which fragrance works best for me.

What made this deodorant stand out among the others I’ve tried? Its performance throughout the hours (you know what I mean), the fact that it doesn’t leave residue on my clothes (which contributes to its durability), and the sturdy, well-functioning refillable package (I would like it to have less plastic, but hey, we’re slowly making progress here). Additionally, a refill lasts a long time, even if you apply it daily or more frequently.

The cons? Well, the price. The kit (case + refill) retails for 27€, and each refill costs 22€, which is a lot for a deodorant, especially when compared with those found at any supermarket. However, this is something we’re already used to when we start purchasing conscious or reusable products.

So, if you’re looking for an aluminium-free deodorant that gets the job done and is refillable, I would highly recommend giving this one a try. 

Aromatica Orange Cleansing Sherbet

Picture of Aromatica's Orange Cleansing Sherbet cleansing balm with the lid open.

As someone who applies face sunscreen several times a day, it is essential to properly remove it by the end of the day through a double-cleansing routine.

I usually opt for a cleansing balm, followed by a standard water-based cleanser.

After being on my Wishlist for quite some time, I’ve finally tried Aromatica’s Orange Cleansing Sherbet, and it slowly became my daily go-to.

Even though I still love Drunk Elephant’s cleansing balm (and use it occasionally), there’s just something in the Aromatica one that elevates the whole experience.

Its texture is softer and gentler, while its faint citrus scent makes this product suitable for people with sensitive skin and eyes (in my case).

It’s not a cheap product, but a single package will last you for months to come (even if you use it daily) - so it’s worth the purchase.

Will I repurchase it? Absolutely! To the point that I think I will stop purchasing the one from Drunk Elephant.

Haircare

OUAI Fine Hair Shampoo

Picture of OUAI's Fine Hair Shampoo.

As someone who always had a lot of frizzy hair throughout most of her life, I’ve always thought that my hair was thick. It was only recently that a hairstylist diagnosed me as someone with hair despite having loads of it (hence my confusion).

Thanks to this discovery, I’ve decided to try OUAI’s Fine Hair Shampoo. I was already happy with other products from the brand, so it felt like a natural move to try their shampoo. It was a match made in heaven!

For the first time, my hair feels clean and light after using a shampoo without depriving my scalp of hydration. 

Despite being a pricey shampoo, a single bottle lasts for months - even when I use it more than a couple of times a week. Which, for me, is totally worth the investment.

Don’t get me wrong. I’ve tried other high-end shampoos in the past, and I was pleased with the overall experience back then. However, for now, this formula seems to be more suitable for my current hair needs. So, I’ll be sticking with this one until my hair needs something different.

OUAI Wave Spray

Package of OUAI's Wave Spray package.

I’ve always had naturally wavy hair, which can sometimes be a challenge - as it’s hard to tame and style it to look good.

Over the past couple of years, I’ve tried to suppress this side of myself by using a GHD flat iron. But last summer, thanks to OUAI’s Wave Spray, I finally managed to make my hair look good (and natural) without needing any tools.

So what do I do? I wash my hair, towel dry it for 30-60 minutes (I have long hair), then comb it and apply the heat protector. Next, I use OUAI’s Wave Spray before using the hair dryer. I never fully dry my hair with the dryer, as I feel like it might be too much for my hair (and create extra damage) - so I use it to remove the excess of moisture.

The result? Perfect beachy waves once it’s fully dry. Which I absolutely love; plus, it reminds me of summer beach days and helps me replicate the look (even in the cold winter).

I always have a spare one in my cupboard. Since discovering this product, I’ve been reaching for it quite often, regardless of the season, whenever I want my hair to look great - without going through all the fuss of ironing it.

Fenty Hair The Protective Type

Picture of Fenty Hair's The Protective Type package.

I became more mindful of the products I use in my hair since the moment I dyed it for the first time.

Until then, any supermarket shampoo and conditioner would do. I would compare the benefits, price, and scent - and then buy the one that appealed to me the most. Needless to say, something like a thermal protector sounded foreign to me (and I speak four languages).

Fortunately, a lot has changed in my hair care routine since then, and a thermal protector has become one of my staple products. 

While I love a few thermal protectors from Kérastase, I also enjoy trying new brands and products to write about them later on.

So, when Fenty Hair became available at Sephora Spain, I decided to read the product pages and purchase the one that resonated the most with my hair needs. I am talking about Fenty Hair’s The Protective Type.

First, I love the name. Second, this thermal protector is unlike any other I’ve tried before… because it’s a cream. Previous to trying this product, I had only used spray formulas. So, I was pretty intrigued to see how this would go.

I purchased the smaller version (let’s not waste product and money when first trying a product) and was immediately blown away by the experience.

As it's a cream product, I find it easier to notice the areas where I'm actually applying the product (and the amount), which I've always found quite tricky with a spray. It's a huge plus!

But what really sealed the deal was how my hair felt afterward: once fully dry, my hair was incredibly soft, and my frizz was practically gone. 

Given this experience, I'll repurchase this (in a larger package) and try other products from the brand.

Makeup

Saie The Base Brush

Despite being a huge fan of Sephora’s Nº6 brush (and having collected quite a few in the past couple of years), I’ve recently found a new favorite: Saie’s The Base Brush. It’s absolute perfection!

Smaller than a regular brush, easy to hold, but with dense yet soft bristles to flawlessly apply the foundation - without leaving streak lines.

I also apply my concealer and blush (whether a cream or liquid formula) with it, most of the time.

Plus, it’s quality-built. So, despite not being a cheap brush (it retails for 29,38 euros) it’s clearly one that you’ll be using for a long time - making it worth the investment.

I have been using a couple of these for a year now, and they’re still in mint condition - no matter how frequently I reach out for them. 

Lisa Eldridge Seamless Skin Foundation

Picture of Lisa Eldridge's Seamless Skin Foundation.

I haven’t given much attention to Lisa Eldridge’s Seamless Skin Foundation when it was released.

At the time, I was happy with my every day foundation and I wasn’t willing to spend money on a new one.

However, last year, while ordering a couple of additional products on Lisa Eldridge's website to work on a brand review, I decided to add this one to my cart. I'm so glad I decided to give this one a try.

Lisa Eldridge's Seamless Skin Foundation is a "your skin but better foundation." It feels incredibly light on the skin, even after wearing it for over 10 hours. It has a medium coverage - enough to conceal any concerns and even out my skin tone, but without looking heavy or cakey.

Its packaging looks and feels incredibly luxurious, inevitably elevating the whole experience. I know it sounds silly, but this always uplifts my mood whenever I'm putting my makeup on at an ungodly hour.

The best part? It’s available in 40 shades, and it’s suitable for people with combination or oily skin.

Victoria Beckham The Concealer Pen with TFC8

Picture of a detail of the tip of Victoria Beckham Beauty's The Concealer Pen.

I know that this concealer was one of last year’s most controversial launches - mainly because of its price tag (75€) and coverage.

According to the brand, the goal of The Concealer Pen with TFC8 is to gradually improve the under-eye area and reduce its need with continuous use, as the area will start looking better and better.

The reason why this concealer is so expensive is because it’s a collaboration between Victoria Beckham and Augustinus Bader. So, in terms of formula, it goes beyond any regular concealer out there - because it combines makeup with skincare.

I’ve been noticing some improvement in my under eyes, even when I apply this product a couple of times a week. The formula feels incredibly light, and yet it has the right amount of pigmentation to cover my dark circles without looking tacky or heavy.

Despite the price tag, there are a couple of things that I am not particularly fond of in this concealer: the brush and the opaque package.

I know that an opaque package will be better for protecting the formula and keeping this one in excellent condition, but it’s tough to know beforehand when I’ll be running out of product. 

In terms of the brush, it felt like stepping back a couple of decades in terms of concealer applicators. However, it helps to have better control over the amount of product we deposit in each area - before actually blending it out with a brush. 

A little goes definitely a long way! And, for now, I’ll be sticking with this concealer (despite its painful price tag).

Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Sun-Kissed Glow Bronzer

Picture of Charlotte Tilbury's Beautiful Skin Sun-Kissed Glow Bronzer.

This might have been one of the best makeup purchases I’ve ever made. 

Charlotte Tilbury’s Beautiful Skin Sun-Kissed Glow Bronzer is the best cream bronzer I’ve ever tried (and I’ve tried quite a few). It has the right pigmentation and blendability, making it incredibly easy to apply - even for those who are not the most experienced makeup users.

A little bit of product goes a long way, and there’s no need to discharge the brush before applying the formula to your face.

I usually lightly tap a multipurpose brush (Sephora’s Nº6) on the pan and apply it directly to the face. Repeating the process as needed.

I have the shade 01 Fair, and it’s the perfect tone if you have a fair complexion (like I do), making your skin look naturally sun-kissed. Plus, the formula integrates incredibly well with the other products, even for those with oily or combination skin (which is my case).

The reason I’m saying this is because I’ve really put this product to the test by combining it with different formulas (skincare formulas and steps, foundations, as well as cream and liquid blushes), and it has always passed the test with distinction.

Why do I say that this is one of my best purchases so far? Because I've had it for more than a year, and even though I apply it almost every time I put on makeup, it still looks quite intact. Plus, it has a two-year PAO (Period After Opening) - unlike most cream bronzers out there.

Huda Beauty Blush Filter 

Picture of Huda Beauty's Blush Filter swatches.

I am a big fan of blushes, especially cream blushes. But, for some reason, I've been using a lot of liquid blushes lately.

Despite having come across some incredible liquid blushes in the past few months, Huda Beauty's Blush Filter was the one I reached out to the most since its launch (I got the shade Cotton Candy).

Why? The package is compact and lightweight, it has the right amount of pigmentation, it smells lovely, and the formula is incredibly easy to blend out - even if you are new to makeup or you find blushes tricky. Seriously, it's impossible to go wrong with this formula.

Over the past couple of years, I’ve seen many people complaining about cream and liquid blushes, as well as bronzers. They’ve struggled with how to use and blend them, ultimately giving up in the process (and wasting their hard-earned money) because they couldn’t make it work.

This product, however, is the opposite of it. I’ve already seen people applying it blindfolded online and getting a perfect result. That’s how easy it is.

Also, it retails for 27,12€. Which isn’t cheap, I know. However, in comparison to most mid-range to high-end liquid blushes on the market, I am okay with the price. Mainly because I’ve been having such a great experience and, I am sure, so will you.

KOSAS Cloud Set Setting Powder

As someone with combination skin, setting my makeup is a mandatory step in my routine. I usually start by setting it with loose powder, followed by a coat of a setting spray.

However, when I'm out and about (or traveling), using a compact powder proves to be more convenient.

After trying different compact setting powders in the past, I finally found one that doesn’t look cakey (or chalky) nor adds a bit of color (like the one from Urban Decay). I am talking about KOSAS’s Cloud Set Setting Powder.

The powder is incredibly light. You can apply it with a brush or a powder puff. It reduces shine without making the skin look matte and the pores look slightly blurred. Plus, it's vegan and talc-free. 

The cons? Given that it’s a hydrating formula, the mattifying effect doesn’t last as long, so I have to reapply it more often. However, I actually prefer it to some hyper-mattifying formula that sucks the natural shine out of my skin.

I have the lighter shade (Airy), but this formula is available in 10 different shades (from very light to very deep).

In the past couple of months, this has become my favorite product to set my makeup (and reduce shine) throughout the day. 

Pat McGrath Labs IntensifEYES Longwear Primer 

Picture of Pat McGrath's IntensifEYES Longwear Primer inside and outside of the package.

As someone with combination skin and slightly oily eyelids who happens to love eyeshadows (especially those with a wet effect), an eyeshadow primer is essential to make these last longer.

Even though I’ve been raving about the one from Fenty Beauty for the past few years, in 2024, I decided to try Pat McGrath’s IntensifEYES Longwear Primer, and it immediately became one of my absolute makeup staples, to the point that I am now on my second tube.

Why do I love it so much? The formula is quite smooth and easy to spread out on the lid without leaving any clumps of product, which really contributes to a flawless finish.

This product provided me with the best performance I’ve ever had with an eyeshadow primer. Hence, it is part of this list.

Yes, it’s a pricey product (34,99€ for 4.48g of product), especially when compared with other top-of-mind formulas in this category: Fenty Beauty’s Pro Filt’r Amplifying Eye Primer (23€ for 8 ml) and Urban Decay’s Primer Potion (23,70€ 10 ml).

However, given its great applicability, the crease-free effect, and its durability throughout the day… I prefer to spend a little extra money and get something with better overall performance.

Victoria Beckham Beauty EyeWear

Picture of Victoria Beckham Beauty's EyeWear eyeshadow in the shade Ballet.

I love eyeshadows. Matte, metallics, duo chrome, liquid, cream… I just love playing with these.

But no matter how much I love a good eyeshadow palette and playing with different shades (and textures), I am also a busy girl. And let’s be honest, there are days when I just don’t have the time to create a layered eye look. That’s when one-and-done eyeshadows come to the rescue!

I am particularly fond of cream eyeshadows, especially if these have a lightweight (yet pigmented) long-lasting formula like the ones from Rare Beauty.

So, when Victoria Beckham Beauty came out with a light cream eyeshadow that fit right within my comfort zone… I decided to give it a try. I am talking about Victoria Beckham Beauty’s EyeWear in the shade Ballet, a light shimmery pink.

As someone with fair skin, this is the kind of shade that enhances my appearance while remaining subtle at the same time. Which is something I love, especially when I have important meetings at work.

But now, let’s get to the important part: the formula. This is the most impressive cream eyeshadow formula I’ve tried so far. Lightweight, long-lasting (it fades elegantly in my greasy eyelids, helping me still look put together at the end of the day), easy to blend out (with your finger or a simple eyeshadow brush), and it has the best PAO I’ve ever seen in a cream eyeshadow (18 months).

It retails for 37 euros. I know it isn’t exactly cheap… but there are other high-end cream eyeshadows out there (like Hourglass or Rare Beauty), yet this one performs better. So, in my case, I prefer to spend a couple more euros and purchase something that not only works wonderfully for me but also lasts for a more extended period (as it has a longer expiration date).

Lisa Eldridge Silk Liquid Eyeshadow

Picture of Lisa Eldridge's Silk Liquid Eyeshadow in the shade Phoebe.

As someone who loves a one-and-done eyeshadow, I’ve tried a few liquid eyeshadow formulas in the past - both low-cost and high-end. And, for some reason, I’ve never run into something that would do the trick (easy to apply, no patches or heavy sensation in the eyelid) until now.

Even though I’ve had a very positive experience with Lisa Eldridge products since the brand was launched, I was a bit reticent about spending 31 euros on an eyeshadow that would probably end up expiring on the very back of my makeup drawer.

Thanks to Amanda Z’s review, I’ve decided to give it a try, and I am beyond happy.

I've ended up picking Lisa Eldridge’s Silk Liquid Eyeshadow in the shade Phoebe, a light warm caramel tone. This is the kind of shade I'm more comfortable with, especially for office looks, which was perfect for putting this formula to the test.

What did I love the most about it? It's easy to blend out, it doesn't crease, and it feels incredibly light on the eyelid (even throughout the day). A little goes a long way, and there's no need to apply a primer underneath. Last but not least, the Phoebe shade goes perfectly with my fair skin. Making it the perfect choice for a quick yet elegant eye look. 

Would I recommend it? Absolutely! If you could only have one matte liquid eyeshadow, it should be this formula from Lisa Eldridge. That's how good it is.

I would also strongly recommend it if you're new to makeup or if you don't want to spend a lot of time creating an eye look. Just apply a little bit, blend it out with a basic eyeshadow brush (nothing fancy or precise), and you're good to go!

Victoria Beckham Beauty Future Lash Mascara

Picture of Victoria Beckham Beauty's Future Lash Mascara.

I am a huge mascara fan. For me, it’s that makeup product that instantly transforms the way I look.

However, when it comes to mascaras, I prefer those that enhance my eyelashes while making them look natural at the same time - something like my eyelashes but better. 

Also, I always look for mascaras that don’t smudge or smear throughout the hours. I have combination skin and oily eyelids. I also wear glasses all the time, which makes this the perfect combo for looking like a panda by the end of the day (no matter how much money I spend on mascara).

After listening to a makeup artist praising Victoria Beckham Beauty’s mascara formulas on a podcast, I decided to take the plunge and order one to see what it was all about.

The brand has two types of mascaras available on its website. After a thorough comparison, I’ve opted for Victoria Beckham Beauty’s Future Lash Mascara - mostly because I enjoyed its wand better (I'm not fond of silicone mascara wands, as I accidentally stab my eyes with them).

I am quite pleased about my choice. Victoria Beckham Beauty's Future Lash Mascara is everything I could ask for in a mascara (except the price tag, which is a bit hefty): the wand is sleek and easy to use, the formula applies perfectly even during the very first application, it dries quickly without feeling uncomfortable at any time (even when I've been wearing it for over 10 hours), my lashes look elegant (and natural), and at last but not least it doesn't smudge (or smear) throughout the day. 

There's some minor flaking by the end of the day, but I just have to sweep these with my fingertip to make them look perfect again - as they don't leave any product residue (or stain) behind, which is perfect when I am at work or out and about.

I am currently on my second tube and I've just purchased a spare one. I know it's a pricey mascara (€ 37), but I love its performance more than any other mascara I've tried in the past. So, for now, I'll continue to foot the bill and use this one.

Ole Henriksen Strawberry Sorbet Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment

Picture of Ole Henriksen Strawberry Sorbet Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment.

Hands down, this is the best lip balm I’ve ever tried. 

I remember purchasing Ole Henriksen’s Strawberry Sorbet Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment as soon as it was released because it somehow caught my attention while browsing my local Sephora.

Little did I know I was about to discover the best lip balm I’ve ever tried. 

It’s nourishing without being occlusive or feeling too thick. It has a creamy texture with a soft density. Despite being made out of plastic, the applicator feels incredibly gentle on the lips. And it has a hint of tint, which makes my lips look better - but without being too noticeable or looking tacky.

Before trying this product, Glossier’s Balm Dotcom was my go-to whenever my lips craved extra hydration - especially while on the go. Well, not anymore.

This product is perfect not only for hydrating your lips all year round, but also when your lips feel especially sore or dehydrated due to cold weather.

What do I love the most about it? How comfortable the formula feels on my lips, despite being incredibly nourishing.

Victoria Beckham Beauty Posh Lipstick 

Picture of Victoria Beckham Beauty's Posh Lipstick in the shade Sway.

I’ve recently noticed that I tend to be a bit picky with my lip products.

No matter the price point, I tend to gravitate more toward formulas that are easy to apply, feel good on the lips throughout the day, and aren’t especially problematic whenever I need to reapply them.

That’s the case with Victoria Beckham Beauty’s Posh Lipstick in the shade Sway. 

The formula glides effortlessly through my lips without leaving the right amount of pigmentation and no streaks. It takes just a couple of swipes to create a seamless lip look.

Despite being a lipstick, it feels like a lip balm due to its easy application and the nourishing sensation it provides on the lips.

Also, the shade Sway really compliments and elevates my lips. Making these look natural and elegant at the same time.

That’s why it became an instant favorite ever since I’ve tried it for the first time.

Fragrance

Maison Matine - Bain de Midi

Picture of Maison Matine's Bain de Midi parfum.

For me, Maison Matine’s Bain de Midi perfume is literally the perfect summer day in a bottle.

It smells like the perfect beach day, which, for someone like me who grew up by the sea, immediately evokes many fond memories.

Needless to say, it was love at first sight when I ran into it at a niche beauty store this summer.

I’ve opted for the travel-sized bottle (25€) because I love carrying miniature perfumes in my bag and also because I wanted to see how this fragrance works for me (and on my skin) before investing in the full size (60€ for 50ml).

Given it’s a niche perfume, I don’t find it pricey at all. Despite using it daily throughout last summer, I still have a significant amount of product left. 

Once I run out, I’ll definitely purchase the full-size bottle.

What about you? What have been your best beauty finds lately?
