    • Looking to exfoliate your skin, but not irritate it, Medicube14:55
  25. @makeupbycheryl reviewing Skinfix Foaming Oil Cleanser at 15:17 in a YouTube Shorts video

  28. @makeupbycheryl reviewing Point of View Whip It Moisturizer at 16:49 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • It's really nice for underneath makeup. It is definitely a makeup-geared skin care company because they have tacky primers, glowy moisturizers that really work underneath makeup, don't make it pill, and just have the perfect amount of moisture and slip prior to going in with any of your complexion products11:35
    • This is my favorite product that I've tried, though, from Point of View16:49
  29. @makeupbycheryl reviewing Kirkland Facial Towelettes at 17:04 in a YouTube Shorts video

  32. @makeupbycheryl reviewing Burt's Bees Reviving Pineapple Sheet Mask at 17:47 in a YouTube Shorts video

    • They're my second favorite18:39
    • They're less pricey than the Medicube ones. They're virtually the same18:41
    • These are one of their best sellers, and I can see why18:52
    • They're very similar to cube ones just for a little bit cheaper. So, if you like that gel mask, I would recommend the Round Lab ones18:54

    • I do love the Rhode ones19:15
    • I wouldn't repurchase them anytime soon, only because I have my Dio ones19:17
    • I see why people love those because they stick underneath the eyes really nicely19:47
  36. @makeupbycheryl reviewing Dieux Reusable Eye Patches at 19:33 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • They're reusable eye patches. They feel like this because they stay on my under eye, which is what I love about the Rhode19:28
    • These ones aren't as nourishing as I would like, and you can use your own eye cream and eye gels with the reusable patches19:33
  37. @makeupbycheryl reviewing Grace & Stella Under Eye Patches at 20:02 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • They have the gold ones, illuminating moisturizing. They just have a ton of these eye patches, which I really love19:55
    • They slip, though. So, they're good if you're just relaxing in bed, not if you have things to do around the house or anything like that. They just constantly slide down my face20:02
    • They're very moisturizing, so I love that about them20:10
  38. @makeupbycheryl reviewing Topicals Faded Brightening Under Eye Masks at 20:22 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I personally don't think these made a difference20:20

    • This is so good at, as I said, clarifying
    • Just pick this one up from the drugstore. It's just as good, in my opinion21:57
    • I love the smell of Pantene
  41. @makeupbycheryl reviewing Dove Dove Bond Strength Shampoo at 22:17 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Dove$4.89
