Huda Beauty Demi Matt – Day Slayer 4.5/5

This colour is one of those ‘my lips but better’ colours for me. I love a matt look but hate that a lot of other matte liquid lips make my lips sooo dry and emphasise the lines on my lips. This was excellent as it dosen’t settle into my lines, and is comfortable. It was also really easy to apply.

Saying this, I would definitely say that the finish is less a traditional ‘matte,’ and much more a sort of ‘slightly more glossy than satin’ formula.

Overall I do enjoy it, but it is very different to what I was expecting. As such I don’t think I can give it a 5 star as I don’t think that it should have ‘matte’ in the name at all, as to me it wears much more like a standard lip cream. Other than this though, I do like the product, so I guess 4.5 is the only way to go – just make sure you aren’t expecting a traditional matte lip.

CeraVe SA Cream Moisturizer with Salicylic Acid – 2/5

I’ll start out by saying that I have pretty sensitive skin, and perhaps I should have known better than to try this product – I was just really drawn in my the whole ‘for bumpy skin’ claim.

I have been using this for a week or so, and so far I have used it on my arms, my face and my feet where I have issues with skin texture. Although I’ve only been using it for this week or two, I am going to have to stop, because it feels like it is burning my skin, and has also caused me to break out – quite honestly I have no idea why I continued with it past the first day when I honestly had to wash it off within 5 minutes of first application.

Needless to say, if you have sensitive skin I definitely would not recommend this product. I would however recommend listening to your skin if it is irritated by something, and to stop using that product. Don’t do what I did – applying a moisturiser should not feel like needles are sticking into your face.
