  1. @theelenakoira reviewing INNBEAUTY PROJECT Face Glaze at 01:33 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This is a really nice and hydrating creamy product1:16
    • My skin really likes this product. It's infused with squalane, ceramides, and hyaluronic acid1:33
    • I've been loving reaching for this one when my skin feels extra dry or on days when I'm really short on time1:40
    • On days when I do my full skin care, I feel like this is a little bit redundant for my routine1:56
    • I also feel like the texture is not my absolute favorite. It's not thick, it's not goopy whatsoever. However, it's just a little bit denser than I personally prefer2:03
    • I'm really determined to use this one up2:14
  2. @theelenakoira reviewing Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Glow Serum at 03:01 in a YouTube Shorts video

    • I genuinely enjoy reaching for it3:20
  3. @theelenakoira reviewing Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Hydrating at 03:54 in a YouTube Shorts video

    • Feels very lightweight3:58

    • It has SPF 40 and mine will expire in May of 20264:35
    • It's a really nice shade match for me4:57
    • I love the way it looks on the skin. It gives you this really nice natural slash dewy finish4:59
    • It also has a lot of coverage for a BB cream. Honestly, in my opinion, this is like a foundation5:06

    • I feel like this will be my go-to this summer
  5. @theelenakoira reviewing Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Serum Skin Tint at 05:53 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This skin tint has a little less coverage than the Perlees one5:37
    • I've been reaching for this one on days when I don't really want that super perfected look. I just want something to even out everything, to cover a little bit of my redness, and call it a day
    • This one doesn't really last on me for some reason. I've noticed that it would get a little bit too oily for my liking at the end of the day5:53
    • I absolutely love the way it looks when I first apply it
    • I just wear it on days when I'm don't really care about the longevity of my makeup6:26

    • Honestly, I can see myself buying a full size of this powder because I like this formula that much7:53
  7. @theelenakoira reviewing Maybelline Fit Me Loose Finishing Powder at 08:17 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This has been a little bit of a challenge for me, not going to lie8:04
    • I do kind of struggle with it, just because it's not my favorite formula
    • I have been loving these powders for so many years. I've been a fan for so many years8:17
    • I feel like market has evolved a lot and there are just better setting powders on the market right now8:24
    • It just doesn't feel as lightweight as my other setting powders8:28

    Blush Filter Liquid Blushshade · Peach Sorbet
    • I'm usually not into peachy orangey blushes, but this one is just beautiful and I love this formula10:07
    • It goes on really pigmented, but somehow it blends out so effortlessly and just diffuses really nicely on the skin10:14
    • This one smells really strong and fruity, which I don't think it's necessary for blush. However, it's still fun. Like I don't mind scented products10:21

  11. @theelenakoira reviewing One/Size On 'til Dawn Mattifying Sunscreen Makeup Spray at 11:51 in a YouTube Shorts video

  13. @theelenakoira reviewing Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked Palette at 13:27 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I'm such a big fan of this face palette. I try not to get them every single year, but so far I have failed that and I mean to get them pretty much every single year13:17
    • I just love their quality and performance and everything about Hourglass13:27
    • I have hit pan on it. I'm honestly so shocked
    • All I've been doing is using a big fluffy brush. I would swirl it in the bronzer and I would apply it to my face and I also applied a lot to my neck14:07
  14. @theelenakoira reviewing Bobbi Brown Dual-Ended Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick at 15:28 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I have been wearing this one on my eyes and as my blush15:18
    • I really enjoy that because it gives me that cohesive look15:28

    • Mine completely fell out15:45
    • I'm a little bit discouraged with this product because I feel like it will take me a long time to use it up completely
    • At the end of the day, I'm making some progress on it and that's the most important part16:08

    • The formula is just so nourishing on the lips. You can tell that they have a little bit of honey in them. They just feel so smooth and hydrating and cushiony, but they never feel sticky, which I love16:43
    • It gives you a little bit of this milky peachy vibe, but it's not overly pigmented or anything, so it's really easy to reapply throughout the day17:00
  16. @theelenakoira reviewing TIRTIR Lip Oil at 17:34 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This one doesn't look blue on the lips at all. It's just clear and it feels really nice and cooling17:24

    Clarins$32.00

  20. @theelenakoira reviewing Yves Saint Laurent Candy Glaze at 20:00 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I love YSL packaging. This is a gorgeous pinky nude shade20:00
    • I do love this formula. It's really glossy yet really comfortable
    • I'm really happy that I've included it in this project. Just because I'm more of a lip gloss, lip oil kind of girl these days and I don't really reach for my lippies, like lipsticks. But the fact that I did include it kind of pushes me, it kind of makes me use them
  21. @theelenakoira reviewing Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium at 21:25 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • It's really hard for me to smell marshmallows here because there's not a lot of them for my liking. It's not my favorite flanker from this line21:25

    • It opens fresh and then we have a little bit of floral heart and it eventually settles down into this vanilla woody concoction22:09
  23. @theelenakoira reviewing Skylar Vanilla Sky at 22:24 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This is not my favorite vanilla in my collection. It's just a little bit too sweet. It's a little one-dimensional for my liking22:24
    • I want to use it up and move it out of my collection
    • I've actually been using this one before bedtime. I don't know. I find it comforting for some reason
  24. @theelenakoira reviewing Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 40 at 23:44 in a YouTube Shorts video

    • It's also really warm and it has a little bit of a woody dry down23:39
