  1. @theelenakoira reviewing INNBEAUTY PROJECT Face Glaze Skin Barrier Veil at 01:26 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I absolutely love this product, mostly because of how multi-purpose this product is1:20
    • You can wear it on its own, you can mix it in with your skin care, your foundations, your skin tints. You can also wear it as a standalone highlighter on the high points of your face1:26
    • This one is infused with squalane, ceramides, and hyaluronic acid, and I think that's the reason why my skin really loves this product because it's so good for my dry skin1:36
    • It has this gel-cream texture, and it just makes my skin really nice and hydrated1:46
    • And I love how it wears under my foundation, too1:51
  2. @theelenakoira reviewing Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Glow Serum at 03:16 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Yummy Skin Glow Serum Primershade · Main Squeeze
    • It is a very nice and lightweight hydrating serum that goes on super smooth and gives you a little bit of a glow3:16
    • The shade Main Squeeze is a little bit bronzy. However, it's really sheer, and even though I really have light skin, I am able to get away with it
    • I'm really positive about it. I still love this product
  3. @theelenakoira reviewing Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Hydrating Primer at 04:09 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This is a really really beautiful primer for honestly I feel like any skin type can wear it because it's not too too glowy and the texture is honestly perfect on this one3:57
    • It's not too thick and it's not too watery. It's somewhere perfectly in between4:09
    • I also love this one because it has silicones in it so it's really smoothing on the skin, too4:14
  4. @theelenakoira reviewing Perlis Ageless Glow Serum BB Cream SPF 40 at 05:30 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • It's a really nice shade match for me4:57
    • This is a really great more like a foundation than a skin tint in my book. It has a really nice amount of coverage and it gives you this really beautiful natural slash satin finish5:30
    • This is the one that I reach for when I want my skin to look perfected5:40
    • I still love this product a lot5:27
  5. @theelenakoira reviewing Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Serum Skin Tint at 07:01 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • A really nice shade match for me4:57
    • It's a really beautiful product as so many of Danessa Myricks products are7:01
    • This has definitely less coverage than the Perlis one, but it's just so nice because it evens everything out7:06
    • It gives your skin that really healthy, glowing look, and it's never too much, which I really, really appreciate7:10
    • This is going to be my skin tint of the summer7:21
    • I do wish, however, that it had SPF in it, because I feel like then I would reach for it all the time7:24
  6. @theelenakoira reviewing Morphe Bake & Set Setting Powder at 08:24 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Bake & Set Setting Powdershade · Translucent
    • The formula is just so good. It's actually non-drying on my dry skin. It's very lightweight, but it does such a good job of actually setting down my makeup8:05
    • This was not hard to finish at all because again, I love this formula so much8:24
    • Honestly, I can see myself purchasing one of these in future when I do need a setting powder8:34
  7. @theelenakoira reviewing Maybelline Fit Me Loose Setting Powder at 09:15 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • The formula is not my absolute favorite anymore. I used to love these powders. I feel like they were so popular back in that time, but I feel like the market has evolved a lot and we have so many other options available now on the market that I personally do prefer over this one8:59
    • However, it is a great product and it does what it's supposed to do9:15
    • I personally don't really like to set my whole face with it. It's just not the most lightweight powder out there, and I personally don't like set my under eyes with it9:48
  8. no still
    Saie$26.00
    • Baby, which is like a beautiful cool-toned pink
    • This is a beautiful formula. I really enjoy it. It's so easy to use, and I love how dewy it looks on the skin
  9. @theelenakoira reviewing Saie Dewy Blush at 11:42 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Saie$26
    • Chili, a gorgeous mauve shade10:46
    • You need the tiniest amount because it's quite pigmented11:42
    • This is a beautiful formula. I really enjoy it. It's so easy to use, and I love how dewy it looks on the skin11:48
  10. @theelenakoira reviewing Huda Beauty Blush Filter at 12:43 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Blush Filter Liquid Blushshade · Peach Sorbet
    • I'm usually not into coral orange blushes all that much, but for spring and summer, it actually works, and I really enjoy it
    • I really love this formula. It's so beautiful and so easy to use12:38
    • This one, however, is quite strongly scented, which I'm not really the biggest fan12:43
    • I really enjoy this formula, and I feel like this will be so beautiful for summer and going into fall
  11. @theelenakoira reviewing One/Size Until Dawn Mattifying Sunscreen Makeup Setting Spray SPF 28 at 14:30 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I love this product because this is a really neutral setting spray, and I feel like a lot of times setting sprays with sunscreen in them can be a little heavy, a little greasy on the skin, but this one is not whatsoever14:13
    • It's not really matte. Like, it says mattifying. In my opinion, it doesn't really mattify my skin, but it also doesn't make my skin dewy. So, it's just a really good setting spray that doesn't really alter the finish of your makeup, and that's something I really appreciate14:30
  12. @theelenakoira reviewing Naked Sundays Hydrating Glow Mist SPF 50 at 15:04 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • Love this high SPF factor. This one will definitely give you a little bit more of a glowier finish14:55
    • It also has a little bit of that chemical sunscreen scent. If you know, you know. They tried to put a lot of fragrance in it to mask it15:04
    • It doesn't really bother me, but if you're bothered by heavy fragrances, maybe this setting spray is not for you14:47
    • I actually enjoy reapplying it throughout the day15:57
  13. @theelenakoira reviewing Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette at 16:25 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Ambient Lighting Paletteshade · Jellyfish
    • I love these palettes so so much. First of all, I was not a face palette girl until I tried Hourglass. Their powders are just impeccable and the formulas are just so so beautiful16:25
  14. @theelenakoira reviewing Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer at 17:34 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I am a bronzer girl, I love a good powder bronzer and I've been reaching for this one quite a bit15:56
    • I will use a little bit of my cream bronzer, and then I will grab a brush and use a little bit of this Hourglass powder bronzer on top to kind of set it, to make it last a little bit longer, and just add a little bit more of a dimension
    • I also love using a little bit of a bigger brush and apply it to my neck17:34
  15. @theelenakoira reviewing Bobbi Brown Dual-Ended Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick at 18:46 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This is really easy to use18:39
    • I especially like the matte side because it's just so easy to use, and this is something that I use on days when I'm in a rush18:46
    • It is gorgeous on my cheeks, and I love that because I feel like it's such a fun part of project panning and using up your products because you can actually be creative with it and you can use them in multiple ways19:06
    • The shimmery side shows a little bit of a slower progress just because I don't wear it on my cheeks of course because the particles in this one are way too big and they look chunky on my face19:20
    • Overall, I'm really positive about this product19:36
  16. @theelenakoira reviewing Gisou Honey Infused Lip Oil at 20:13 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Gisou$28.00
    • I really really enjoy this formula. It just feels so nourishing yet lightweight20:05
    • You can definitely tell there's a little bit of honey in the formula because it's just so hydrating on the lips20:13
    • I love the shade. It's really beautiful. It has a little bit of a milky vibe going on20:19
    • And it's very easy to reapply throughout the day20:24
    • Honestly I love this formula. I love wearing these lip oils from Gisou and I want to enjoy them before they go bad20:55
  17. @theelenakoira reviewing Catrice Gloss'n Glow Lip Oil at 22:29 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • It's just a sheer pink lip oil. It's very comfortable22:24
    • It's not as lightweight as the Tier Tier one. It has a little bit more of a body to it. It feels a little bit more cushiony on the lips, which I personally enjoy22:29
    • And it's just been so easy to reapply it throughout the day
  18. @theelenakoira reviewing Clarins Comfort Lip Oil at 24:00 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Clarins$32.00
    Lip Comfort Oilshade · Cherry
    • It's a beautiful cherry red
    • But it's not as easy to reapply throughout the day as my other lip oils23:55
    • I do wear it quite often, I will be honest, but judging by the pictures, the amount of progress I was able to make on it is kind of slim, which makes me a little bit nervous24:00
  19. @theelenakoira reviewing Yves Saint Laurent Candy Glaze at 28:07 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • It's a beautiful pinky nude shade26:39
    • I love this formula. It's really glossy and nourishing on the lips, and it's a little bit tingly minty, too28:07
    • And I love the YSL packaging. It's absolutely stunning28:15
  20. @theelenakoira reviewing Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium at 29:05 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This is not my favorite flanker from this line. It's supposed to have marshmallows and I guess you can get a whiff of it, but it's still not really marshmallowy to me28:53
    • So, I honestly just want to use it up and move it out of my collection because it's just not my absolute favorite29:05
  21. @theelenakoira reviewing Valentino Born in Roma EDP at 30:12 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Valentino$180.00
    • This is really lovely. It opens really fresh with bergamot. It then settles into floral notes and the dry down we have vanilla and woody notes30:03
    • It's really easy to reach for. I don't think it's anything groundbreaking, but it's very nice. I like it30:12
  22. @theelenakoira reviewing Skylar Vanilla Sky at 30:59 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This is a really nice vanilla. It's just a little too sweet for my liking. It's a little one-dimensional and not really complex30:31
    • I feel like I don't really need this vanilla in my collection because it's a little redundant for me30:59
  23. @theelenakoira reviewing Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 40 at 31:33 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • Love this one because it has plum note and I'm just such a sucker for a plum note in my fragrances. It just makes fragrance a little bit more mysterious and sensual31:23
    • Love this one because it has a little bit of a woody dry down31:33
    • It's a little bit too sweet for my liking, so no overspraying here31:37
    • This one for some reason gives me a headache. I think it's because it's a little too sweet for my liking31:03
  24. @theelenakoira reviewing Sol de Janeiro Bikini Season at 32:18 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Perfume Mistshade · Bikini Season
    • Bikini season is really summery, it's fruity, it's really playful and carefree. It has guava note, so juicy32:09
    • I have been loving this one for pool days32:18
  25. @theelenakoira reviewing Sol de Janeiro When in Rio at 33:16 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I really enjoyed this one because it's really fresh yet a little bit playful. It has a lot of bergamot. So, it's really citrusy but it also has a little bit of vanilla to make it a little bit more cozy and a little sweet33:01
    • It's just easy to wear and this one I can overspray which I have been doing, not going to lie33:16
