You are now officially my 'Holy Grail' TH-cam influencer. I'm 46, and have only recently (this past year) gotten into the beauty realm. Though, I've been dabbling in the skincare realm for awhile. I really appreciate your honest and knowledgeable reviews and info. It's apparent that your videos are well thought out. I'm definitely here for it! Thanks!!!
Me too! You should also watch No BS Beauty! She’s amazing and never gets free products buys everything on her own and reviews them and the ingredients in depth, literally any skincare you think of, she’ll have a video of it with a great review. I love her and Abby’s channels so much!
I agree. I’m 51 and I appreciate how much detail and research Abbey puts into her videos and I agree with her reviews. I don’t have the time to spend on myself that I did in my 20s so I like that I can learn some beauty hacks to get the best results and what products really work. Also I love that Abbey likes to find cheaper products where possible. 😁
The Moroccan oil is my absolute favorite hair product, I’ve tried so many and this is the only one that works for my frizzy hair, it’s an absolute miracle ❤️
I agree. There is something about the Moroccan oil that magically absorbs into my fine, frizzy hair that never seems to happen with other hair oils. And, as someone who's hair struggles with coconut oil I will say - Not all oils are equal when it comes to hair, even if the ingredients list seems similar. Also, Moroccan Oil is definitely on the lower priced side of the high end hair oils. It's one of the cheapest at Sephora. And worth it, IMO!! :D
Thank you for mentioning the Lancome concealer. So impressed that you can see the value of products from older brands instead of jumping on boutique brand sensations on social media. Years ago I browsed the cosmetic counters in Macy's and Nordstrom and realize I now overlook those brands.
This is a huge personal preference, but I love using these brands so much because they remind of sitting on my grandparents’ bed watching my grandma do her skincare ❤
Your channel is 100% binge-worthy! I don't normally watch multiple videos by one content creator in this genre, but you really put a lot of thought and research into the products and information you discuss which makes you my go-to influencer for beauty hands down. Really well-done, Abbey!
I've been super obsessed with skincare. Since subscribing to your channel I've really gotten in to haircare. Thanks for all the tips and recommendations!! My hair is so much healthier now.
Same with me. Abbey is seriously hair goals. And since using products and tips she recommends for hair health, I've seen a massive change in how my hair looks and feels, plus it's thicker now. Been into skincare a long time but I cringe when I think of how I used to treat my hair.
I’ve recently been using grapeseed oil on my hair, face, body, cuticles, etc. It is an underrated miracle! I would LOVE to hear your opinions and detailed research on it! I got obsessed after watching a “Doctorly” video and researching its benefits for clearing pores, healing scars, and softening skin and hair. 🙏🏼 Absolutely love all your videos and the detailed research you do 👌🏼
I finally have gotten into skincare. And I have you to thank you for that. Thank you so much for looking into the ingredients and giving legitimate information on everything you use. It’s so appreciated! I was buying overpriced products just because I assumed that a high price tag meant they were good products. And now I have all affordable skincare, and I’ve never felt more confident in my own skin. And you’re just so honest and knowledgeable about your recommendations. 💜
Have to agree to disagree on the Missha Sun Milk - I love it so much!! Retail at $30 is rather expensive, but it's usually around $15-$17 on Asian beauty sites, which I'm willing to pay. I don't have dry skin but it's great for me personally. It has a very natural finish on me though....I do think I want to try something more radiant in the future, but this will definitely always be one of my go-tos.
I love Missha too! My skin is really oily and in summer I only wear this on my skin and it looks great after a really hot and long day at work❤ and it doesn’t leave a white-sunscreen-look on my face (but I have to admit a have very light skin)
I tried the drmtlgy both tinted and non tinted and while I can see how it would be great for oilier skin, for my dry skin, I definitely need something more moisturizing even with a heavier cream underneath. Appreciate your recommendations and always enjoy trying new spfs!
I don't think I have ever been disappointed with any product Abbey has recommended that I ended up trying. Lysm! My skin and hair have both transformed sooo much since I subscribed to your channel and started taking my self care more seriously. You are always so authentic and I'm happy your channel has grown so much! Stay blessed queen! 🦄🙂❤
Great video Abbey! I do agree on so many products, especially the DRMTLGY tinted SPF and the Lancôme Concealor…SO good. I found the L’Oreal Age Perfect Serum Foundation a little too sheer and too glowy and I could not find a shade…and the true match nude hyaluronic serum was too matte, BUT mixing them together….Perfect shade, beautiful medium Coverage and just the right amount of radiance. Perfection on my 62 year old dry skin.
I used to use morrocan hair oil until recently I discovered your channel and got the Tokyo lab mist and LOVE it. It’s so much lighter weight and looks better on my hair
Awesome video 👏🏻 I agree on DRMTLY. I just ordered 2 more bottles. I love how it’s light weight and dries down nicely. I have very dry skin and it feels nice on my skin. I also love that it leans more more. It’s very hard to find tinted mineral sunscreens that are warm but not orange. Many tend to turn orange on my skin.
Abbey just got my first DRMTLGY order in and I have to say thank you for reviewing it and for sharing the discount link. The few products I got have felt very similar to some upscale brands I have used in the past at a fraction of the cost. I can’t wait to see my skin after consistent use.
Oh I adore the Bliss one, i tried many tinted mineral spfs and for my oily skin with cold undertones, it's the best. I feel the smell fades away quickly and as someone who doesn't like to use fragranced stuff, this one is ok. It shows how we are different 😁 I find many mineral ones either dry or leave a nasty cast, not this one.
I love love LOVE the Lacome Teint idol concealer. I find their warm shades a little too warm, but the neutral Bisque (215) is the perfect amount of coverage and brightening for me.
Exact same experience with the Bliss block star, which I expected to love. I don’t understand why brands think they can get away with having one “universal tint.” That’s… not how skin tones work.
GIRLLLL! I love the Amika dry shampoo haha. Of course there’s lots of reasons why people’s hair gets greasier quickly, especially things like vitamin deficiencies which is something people don’t normally think of.
Aww, this hurt my feelings 😎 I 💕❤️💕 the Missha Soft Finish ss! No white cast, just the right amount of hydration and beautiful under makeup. This is my HG. I guess what they say is true - individual skin reacts differently with products. Def super dry skin / pale face approved. 😎
I love it cosmetics cc cream-I recently actually just tried this. I got the illumination one first and it works great on my skin, I just don’t like seeing all those glitters on my face up close so I do mix it with the regular. I am definitely going to try the teint idole concealer though. Im trying to find a good one for my wedding so I’ll take your recommendation!
Congrats on the wedding! Abbey is great, and Taylor Wynn is another good reviewer. Her content mainly revolves around makeup so I highly recommend u check her out for product recs for Ur big day
Oh, the same for me with the ItCosmetics CC cream!!! I really hate it, wanted to love it sooo much! It is heavy, sticky, shiny, covers my phone, and anything that touches my skin. I will try this Loreal one, thank you for the suggestion.
I have fair cool toned sensitive dry skin and love the block star. The smell doesn’t bother me and it blurs which I love because I wear it alone. Most tints are too warm toned for me to wear which is a bummer. I also love the L’Oréal foundation. I have gotten so many compliments on my skin when I wear it.
AR I’m going to try that. I struggle to get foundation/CC cream that’s pale enough. And I have to mix most tinted sunscreen with a normal sunscreen to lighten it.
I will say the Missha in the pink, that you have as the overrated, isn’t fabulous. But… the same brand in the green or the blue cap? love them! They pair well with or under makeup, but also work incredibly well alone. I am currently using the green cap on my shoulders when outside (in the south Texas sun!) and it’s beautiful for that. It’s perfect and lightweight and I love it.
I have the Lancôme concealer and freaking love it!! Looks so satin/natural, sets beautifully, and doesn’t crease after a 10 hour day. Plus you get so much product, it’s a holy grail for me.
THANK YOU for putting ALL the info on the screen. It's so much easier to take a screen shot & remember why I did. Lol. I've been wanting to try some new sunscreens. Will use your links if I do! Appreciate all the info & work that goes into making these videos!
I'll add one to the list. ZitSticka's MegaShade SPF 50. I know it's acne-safe, that's their whole gimmick, and we definitely need more skincare brands to formulate sunscreens with acne-prone people in mind, but MegaShade felt so bad on my face. It didn't break me out and there was no visible white cast, but I haaaatttee how it feels on my skin.
Great to see someone hypeing the Abh bronzer! I love it too, and i'm amazed that no one talks about it anymore. Can you maybe compare it to the new nars bronzer? Are they alike, whitch do you prefer? Btw, I also love the Abh cream blush in peachy keen. Would recommend it 100%!
Glow Screen was super overrated for me. It pills and it just made me look greasy, not "glowy" after an hour. I've found WAYY better tinted sunscreen's than that.
All your videos are consistently such good quality. I don't feel guilty watching them because I learn something all the time. Thank you for the education!
I've really enjoyed watching and learning about these products for hair & skin. I started out watching you specifically for bleached hair products, then I found out you also review skin care products too? You have such beautiful skin, that to someone like me (old) I'm thinking "well of course that concealer works for you, look what you DON'T have'. ha Can you find an older lady who'd be willing to let you try out products on HER face? That would be awesome, honestly. BUT, love your channel and insights regardless. ♥
I didn’t like the Elf Camo CC cream it’s was very drying, very cakey, I felt like it cracked in certain area’s and I didn’t like the color shades they never came out the right shade for me some might like it but I didn’t like it, but yes the L’Oréal Age Perfect serum foundation is so good I know people don’t like L’Oréal but I like L’Oréal their products always work for my skin type and hair just like I like L’Oréal EverPure Glossing Shampoo and Conditioner and some of the other L’Oréal EverPure hair products
I used IT CC cream for YEARS and it was my holy grail. And then one day, it looked like crap, and kept on looking like crap. The same thing had happened to me before with Bare Minerals. I have to blame it on menopause skin. After trying a billion different products I’ve landed on the Dermtlgy Tinted Moisturizer spf 46 with a dusting of Laura Geller powder foundation. Thanks for your recommendations, Abbey-- there are a couple of intriguing ones I’m going to try.
The bliss block star is the BEST sunscreen I’ve ever had. like it’s insane, it’s non comedogenic & it works so well. I’ve never broken out and it’s creamy & lightweight.
Hi Abbey ❤, Great video as always 😊. I agree with you about the IT Cosmetics CC Cream! I get oily in the t-zone area and this just makes my even more oily and gross throughout the day. I've a full fringe and this makes it so greasy as if I didn't wash my hair 🙃. I've didn't hear of Dermatology until I subscribed to your channel. I have purchased the Needless Serum twice now thanks to your discount code 😘. I've also ordered and tried out the Night Time Peptide Cream Advanced Neck Cream, (early stages with those last two products). Hope you're keeping well ❤!
This ideo idea is great. Lancome products are quite expensive, at least in my country. There are drugstore concealers that do a great job and cost way less. I like Revolution concealers. Even Maybelline Fit me is OK. Also, that sunscreen for 26 dollars - that is still a pretty high price in my opinion. I have tried Garnier Ambre Solaire - 200 ml - for about 10 dollars and it is a great product. In my opinion, it is worth splurging on skincare products that will stay on your skin for hours - like moisturizers,serums etc.
Missha Soft Finish is my HG sunscreen and I have oily skin! I have tried dozens looking for a nice light matte finish and this is IT. No white cast at all, great texture, light, spreads well and dries very fast with no oily look. I would not recommend it for dry skin but is a wonder for oily skin. I recommended to my mother and son and they love it as well. Your review made me think that you may have got a fake product.
Same with amika dry shampoo… love their other products but the morrocan oil light tones dry shampoo is sooo much better. I recently tried living proof and love that one even more than morrocan oil 😮 I’d love to hear your thoughts on the morrocan oil brand and living proof dry shampoo
IMHO I totally disagree about the Bliss spf. I’m not a fan of lavender & I definitely tolerated it, absolutely no lingering scent. I am Fitz 2 & DRMTLGY pulls a lot more warm undertones than Bliss which is much cooler. Thanks for the drugstore hair oil recommendations.
I ordered the Scinic sunscreen plus several others that you recommended in your SPF video from Stylvana and am excited to try them! That L'Oreal Age Perfect Radiant Serum Foundation is on my list for future foundation purchases. I currently have about 7-8 complexion base products I'm working through so it will have to wait. I may also pick up that dry shampoo. I wash my hair twice a week and am always on the lookout for good dry shampoos!
Great video as always, Abby! I’ve been loving the new clearstem mineral tinted sunscreen. Great ingredients list and it applies matte and makes skin look nice and smooth.
The Missah sunscreen is my holy grail. I have super oily skin and it felt opposite, left a very matte finish. Didn’t feel oily at all. Also left zero white cast. Maybe you got a bad batch.
The Misha pink top dries my skin a bit in non summer weather, although I don't have white cast and I am extremely fair. I use it in summer ok. Abbey, you got me onto the Skin Aqua super moisture gel a couple years ago, and I still love it. You get tons for a great price (140 ml pump bottle is fabulous). I tried many top brands of American (I'm Canadian) tinted sunscreens, and they just didn't work for me with color. I don't like the heaviness of them either, in comparison to Skin Aqua. Thanks Abbey.
Oh my word! The smell of the block star was a turn off for me as well. It didn't break me out or anything but I just felt like I could smell it all day
The DRMTLGY Universal tinted?!! I have that! I didn't realize it was something... Anyone has ever talked about. Found it on Amazon and thought it sounded nice. And I was right. I think the scent is ... A bit like play dough, for anyone interested. Outside of that, it's dewy but not too dewy. And it blends in so well. Matches my skin tone and color really well!
I used to love Moroccanoil serum treatment until I received in a promotion a free Argan oil from Cien(Lidl) and when I looked at the ingredients they are almost the same as the Moroccanoil,except the scent.And the price is ~1/10 cheaper.
I love Lancome concealer! Angie recommended it when it first came out. I ordered it and I am loving it! I am 56 when dry aging skin. Works great for me.
I can tolerate the fragrance in the bliss sunscreen, but what I don't like about it that it doesn't dry down for me. The DRMTLGY sunscreen is on my wishlist but I want to order it from somewhere other than Amazon...a personal choice.
Abbey! I wanted to thank you for introducing me to DRMTLGY -- I saw them ALL over IG and the internet for months, but never knew anyone who actually used them. Because of your videos,I've ended up purchasing their pumpkin enzyme mask, Needle-less Serum, retinol, and both the mineral sunscreen and the physical sunscreen. I've been super impressed with everything so far, and their sunscreens are phenomenal. Thanks for highlighting them, and for having a code that you share! ❤
The Charlotte tilbury contour wand is my holy grail I don’t like wearing contour but the shade light medium looks like a bronzer and a contour on me I don’t like super warm bronzers. Love this contour wand so much I’m on my 2nd tube of it but I’ll have to try that anatasia one too 😅
Hi Abby!! What do you think about other Moroccanoil products? I’ve been loving the shampoo, oil and leave-in conditioner but I’d love to see you review the brand!!
Great video but, I think you should have mentioned that the IT CC cream has a physical sunscreen and the L’Oréal has a chemical sunscreen. I have some family members with really sensitive skin and they use the IT product because they can’t use foundations with chemical sunscreen ingredients.
That Lancome concealer is totally slept on and under the radar. I'm kinda hoping it stays that way just because I love it so much and don't want it to completely sell out, lol.
Loved this video concept! Tanning Question: Self tanning newbie here: I have been using the medium Loving Tan express mousse once a week for a month. It fades so quickly! I follow all your tips but it's like my skin just sucks it up. Have you ever tanned with a mousse and then moisturized with tan drops for the rest of the week?
Great video! I have and love the performance of the Lancôme concealer. My only gripe is the shades. I have the lightest …Ivory N and it matches my summer skin tone but is not at all ..even a tiny bit… brightening under the eyes. I don’t want the under-eyes super pale but a bit lighter. I do like the undertone and it helps camouflage the deep blue from my aging, deep-set undereye area but not lighten. I am almost always the fairest in most shade ranges of complexion products. I think next try is the lightest Kosas concealer shade. I thought I had the lightest but there appears to be one more shade lighter
I totally agree about the Amika dry shampoo. I bought the big can recently because everyone raves about it but I feel like it doesn't do the job. So disappointed. I prefer my drugstore dry shampoo over this any day.
I've never used the Missha - Soft Finish sunscreen (pink top), but I have used the Missha - All Around Essence Sun Milk (green top). The green one is my absolute favorite. The consistency is like the pink one, very light and has a cooling sensation when applied, and looks super dewy texture wise. I've never got any white cast while applying and I am asian. I think before you write it off, you should try out the Sun Milk one (green top) and let me know what ya think!!
The CC cream from the IT Cosmetics is the only product that doesn't make me break out. I don't love it and doesn't give me great coverage but it's the only product that doesn't upset my skin.
I have dry skin and fell in love with the it cc cream years ago. These days If I use it I basically add a tiny amount into my sunscreen to sheer it out because it is just too much coverage- I much prefer the L’Oréal serum (though also mixed into my sunscreen) bc I prefer the formula and the price! And those tanologist drops are what I live by these days! Curious if you have priced any difference in the dark shade since the new EU regulations came out, or if you’ve tried the ultra dark version.
I am wearing the L’Oréal serum foundation today and it is a beautiful foundation. I’m actually about out of it and it will be one of the only ones I repurchase. I agree about the it foundation it always sets heavy on me too. Love your videos :)
I’ve been using the Moroccanoil dark tones dry shampoo for a couple years and I love it! It was the only one I’d seen until just in the last few months. I’ll have to check out the L’Oreal.
I think you may have gotten a bad bottle of the Missha - mine doesn’t leave ANY white cast (never has, I’m on my third bottle) and I’m like the same exact skin tone as you. Mine doesn’t feel oily or greasy in the slightest either - it feels slightly moisturizing almost like an emulsion/lotion moisturizer, but completely soaks into my skin within 2-3 minutes after 2 THICCCC layers of application.

And yeah, I’m always up for part 2 (or 3 or 4, LOL) of videos like this! Or of pretty much any video you do! You’re one of my faves, for sure!
I have the dryest skin. I love the way you let us know what would work for every different skin type. Thanks.

I love it too….it doesnt feel like i have dry shampoo in my hair at all
I tried the Tanologist mini size from Ulta. Worth every penny! I mix mine with Cerave lotion and it never leaves me streaky or orange. Love love LOVE

AR I’m going to try that. I struggle to get foundation/CC cream that’s pale enough. And I have to mix most tinted sunscreen with a normal sunscreen to lighten it.
Obsessed with the DRMTLGY Tinted Moisturizer! I usually get skin irritation from sunscreen and this works so well for me
I will say the Missha in the pink, that you have as the overrated, isn’t fabulous. But… the same brand in the green or the blue cap? love them!

The missha sunscreen with the GREEN top is sooooo good tho 😩🙌🏾
I love the Soft Touch. The review was the opposite from my experience with it. It is my HG summer sunscreen (oily skin)
I love all of your videos, but these sorts of videos are my number one favorite. 😍
I have the Lancôme concealer and freaking love it!! Looks so satin/natural, sets beautifully, and doesn’t crease after a 10 hour day. Plus you get so much product, it’s a holy grail for me.

I'll add one to the list. ZitSticka's MegaShade SPF 50. I know it's acne-safe, that's their whole gimmick, and we definitely need more skincare brands to formulate sunscreens with acne-prone people in mind, but MegaShade felt so bad on my face. It didn't break me out and there was no visible white cast, but I haaaatttee how it feels on my skin.
Great to see someone hypeing the Abh bronzer! I love it too, and i'm amazed that no one talks about it anymore. Can you maybe compare it to the new nars bronzer? Are they alike, whitch do you prefer? Btw, I also love the Abh cream blush in peachy keen. Would recommend it 100%!
Glow Screen was super overrated for me. It pills and it just made me look greasy, not "glowy" after an hour. I've found WAYY better tinted sunscreen's than that.
yes please make this a series - thanks!
excited for this video! I have bought everything you have crossed out in the thumbnail 😂😂
All your videos are consistently such good quality. I don't feel guilty watching them because I learn something all the time. Thank you for the education!
My favorite Asian sunscreen currently is the Missha *Essence* one -- still SPF 50 PA++++, great lightweight feel, no cast. Lovely!
I've really enjoyed watching and learning about these products for hair & skin. I started out watching you specifically for bleached hair products, then I found out you also review skin care products too? You have such beautiful skin, that to someone like me (old) I'm thinking "well of course that concealer works for you, look what you DON'T have'. ha Can you find an older lady who'd be willing to let you try out products on HER face? That would be awesome, honestly. BUT, love your channel and insights regardless. ♥
I love the L’Oréal Age Perfect Radiant SPF Serum Foundation it’s my absolute favorite I get the shade Golden Ivory I love it
I didn’t like the Elf Camo CC cream it’s was very drying, very cakey, I felt like it cracked in certain area’s and I didn’t like the color shades they never came out the right shade for me some might like it but I didn’t like it, but yes the L’Oréal Age Perfect serum foundation is so good I know people don’t like L’Oréal but I like L’Oréal their products always work for my skin type and hair just like I like L’Oréal EverPure Glossing Shampoo and Conditioner and some of the other L’Oréal EverPure hair products
I used IT CC cream for YEARS and it was my holy grail. And then one day, it looked like crap, and kept on looking like crap. The same thing had happened to me before with Bare Minerals. I have to blame it on menopause skin. After trying a billion different products I’ve landed on the Dermtlgy Tinted Moisturizer spf 46 with a dusting of Laura Geller powder foundation. Thanks for your recommendations, Abbey-- there are a couple of intriguing ones I’m going to try.
I would like to suggest the Matrix amla hair oil. It smells amazing, it has some silicones and leaves your hair completely frizz free! ❤️
I am obsessed with the DRMTLGY universal sunscreen also!! It looks nice on me. It works well. I am 65. I have had melanoma on my face.
The bliss block star is the BEST sunscreen I’ve ever had. like it’s insane, it’s non comedogenic & it works so well. I’ve never broken out and it’s creamy & lightweight.
Hi Abbey ❤, Great video as always 😊. I agree with you about the IT Cosmetics CC Cream! I get oily in the t-zone area and this just makes my even more oily and gross throughout the day. I've a full fringe and this makes it so greasy as if I didn't wash my hair 🙃. I've didn't hear of Dermatology until I subscribed to your channel. I have purchased the Needless Serum twice now thanks to your discount code 😘. I've also ordered and tried out the Night Time Peptide Cream Advanced Neck Cream, (early stages with those last two products). Hope you're keeping well ❤!
So glad you’re loving DRMTLGY 🥰
This ideo idea is great. Lancome products are quite expensive, at least in my country. There are drugstore concealers that do a great job and cost way less. I like Revolution concealers. Even Maybelline Fit me is OK. Also, that sunscreen for 26 dollars - that is still a pretty high price in my opinion. I have tried Garnier Ambre Solaire - 200 ml - for about 10 dollars and it is a great product. In my opinion, it is worth splurging on skincare products that will stay on your skin for hours - like moisturizers,serums etc.
Missha Soft Finish is my HG sunscreen and I have oily skin! I have tried dozens looking for a nice light matte finish and this is IT. No white cast at all, great texture, light, spreads well and dries very fast with no oily look. I would not recommend it for dry skin but is a wonder for oily skin. I recommended to my mother and son and they love it as well. Your review made me think that you may have got a fake product.
Same with amika dry shampoo… love their other products but the morrocan oil light tones dry shampoo is sooo much better. I recently tried living proof and love that one even more than morrocan oil 😮 I’d love to hear your thoughts on the morrocan oil brand and living proof dry shampoo
Ooh girl I needed this video. So many products on this list I buy and if I can save some coin, yesssss❤️❤️❤️
🙌🏻🙌🏻 thanks for watching!
I also love the DRMTLGY Universal Tinted Moisturizer, been using it for years. I'd love to see a Part 2 of this style video, Abbey, thanks!
IMHO I totally disagree about the Bliss spf. I’m not a fan of lavender & I definitely tolerated it, absolutely no lingering scent. I am Fitz 2 & DRMTLGY pulls a lot more warm undertones than Bliss which is much cooler. Thanks for the drugstore hair oil recommendations.
I ordered the Scinic sunscreen plus several others that you recommended in your SPF video from Stylvana and am excited to try them! That L'Oreal Age Perfect Radiant Serum Foundation is on my list for future foundation purchases. I currently have about 7-8 complexion base products I'm working through so it will have to wait. I may also pick up that dry shampoo. I wash my hair twice a week and am always on the lookout for good dry shampoos!
Great video as always, Abby! I’ve been loving the new clearstem mineral tinted sunscreen. Great ingredients list and it applies matte and makes skin look nice and smooth.
Thank you, great (honest) reviews! I am now part of the team and will try some of the products you reccomended. Love from Bulgaria! ❤️🌹🤗
The Missah sunscreen is my holy grail. I have super oily skin and it felt opposite, left a very matte finish. Didn’t feel oily at all. Also left zero white cast. Maybe you got a bad batch.
The Misha pink top dries my skin a bit in non summer weather, although I don't have white cast and I am extremely fair. I use it in summer ok. Abbey, you got me onto the Skin Aqua super moisture gel a couple years ago, and I still love it. You get tons for a great price (140 ml pump bottle is fabulous). I tried many top brands of American (I'm Canadian) tinted sunscreens, and they just didn't work for me with color. I don't like the heaviness of them either, in comparison to Skin Aqua. Thanks Abbey.
Abbey! Have you tried the nyx serum concealer? If so, do you like it? I have a similar skin to yours, and love to hear your opinions. 🌻
Oh my word! The smell of the block star was a turn off for me as well. It didn't break me out or anything but I just felt like I could smell it all day
I wish it didn’t smell like that 😅
Me too. And it also made my oily skin feel more oily and doesn't have as much protection as the Asian sunscreens I like. So not worth it for me hahah
Love yr new hair color. Chef's kiss!
Definitely need a part 2. I love you videos!
the pink sunscreen's green counterpart is SO MUCH BETTER it's like lighter/lotion y with no white cast
The DRMTLGY Universal tinted?!! I have that! I didn't realize it was something... Anyone has ever talked about. Found it on Amazon and thought it sounded nice. And I was right. I think the scent is ... A bit like play dough, for anyone interested. Outside of that, it's dewy but not too dewy. And it blends in so well. Matches my skin tone and color really well!
I love your reviews, and am wishing you well! You seem to be doing so well now. 🧡
Yes, Please do a part 2.
I will!
I used to love Moroccanoil serum treatment until I received in a promotion a free Argan oil from Cien(Lidl) and when I looked at the ingredients they are almost the same as the Moroccanoil,except the scent.And the price is ~1/10 cheaper.
DRMTLGY tinted sunscreen has been my go-to for 2 years! It truly don't get enough recognition.
Your lip combo in this video is absolutely stunning!! What products are you wearing?
I love Lancome concealer! Angie recommended it when it first came out. I ordered it and I am loving it! I am 56 when dry aging skin. Works great for me.
So stunning job, Abbey!❤️🌸
😊❤️
I can tolerate the fragrance in the bliss sunscreen, but what I don't like about it that it doesn't dry down for me. The DRMTLGY sunscreen is on my wishlist but I want to order it from somewhere other than Amazon...a personal choice.
Ugh, I hate ordering beauty products from Amazon. So many scams and counterfeit products now, such a shame.
Abbey! I wanted to thank you for introducing me to DRMTLGY -- I saw them ALL over IG and the internet for months, but never knew anyone who actually used them. Because of your videos,I've ended up purchasing their pumpkin enzyme mask, Needle-less Serum, retinol, and both the mineral sunscreen and the physical sunscreen. I've been super impressed with everything so far, and their sunscreens are phenomenal. Thanks for highlighting them, and for having a code that you share! ❤
"still waiting for better shades" 👏👏👏 yes Sis
The Charlotte tilbury contour wand is my holy grail I don’t like wearing contour but the shade light medium looks like a bronzer and a contour on me I don’t like super warm bronzers. Love this contour wand so much I’m on my 2nd tube of it but I’ll have to try that anatasia one too 😅
Hi Abby!! What do you think about other Moroccanoil products? I’ve been loving the shampoo, oil and leave-in conditioner but I’d love to see you review the brand!!
Great video but, I think you should have mentioned that the IT CC cream has a physical sunscreen and the L’Oréal has a chemical sunscreen. I have some family members with really sensitive skin and they use the IT product because they can’t use foundations with chemical sunscreen ingredients.
That Lancome concealer is totally slept on and under the radar. I'm kinda hoping it stays that way just because I love it so much and don't want it to completely sell out, lol.
Love this style video! Would definitely love a part 2 of this!
Loved this video concept! Tanning Question: Self tanning newbie here: I have been using the medium Loving Tan express mousse once a week for a month. It fades so quickly! I follow all your tips but it's like my skin just sucks it up. Have you ever tanned with a mousse and then moisturized with tan drops for the rest of the week?
Great video! I have and love the performance of the Lancôme concealer. My only gripe is the shades. I have the lightest …Ivory N and it matches my summer skin tone but is not at all ..even a tiny bit… brightening under the eyes. I don’t want the under-eyes super pale but a bit lighter. I do like the undertone and it helps camouflage the deep blue from my aging, deep-set undereye area but not lighten. I am almost always the fairest in most shade ranges of complexion products. I think next try is the lightest Kosas concealer shade. I thought I had the lightest but there appears to be one more shade lighter
Scinic sunscreen, absolute love for 2 years❤
Do you have any recommendations for lip spf products? Love you Abbey!
I totally agree about the Amika dry shampoo. I bought the big can recently because everyone raves about it but I feel like it doesn't do the job. So disappointed. I prefer my drugstore dry shampoo over this any day.
I've never used the Missha - Soft Finish sunscreen (pink top), but I have used the Missha - All Around Essence Sun Milk (green top). The green one is my absolute favorite. The consistency is like the pink one, very light and has a cooling sensation when applied, and looks super dewy texture wise. I've never got any white cast while applying and I am asian. I think before you write it off, you should try out the Sun Milk one (green top) and let me know what ya think!!
The CC cream from the IT Cosmetics is the only product that doesn't make me break out. I don't love it and doesn't give me great coverage but it's the only product that doesn't upset my skin.
I have dry skin and fell in love with the it cc cream years ago. These days If I use it I basically add a tiny amount into my sunscreen to sheer it out because it is just too much coverage- I much prefer the L’Oréal serum (though also mixed into my sunscreen) bc I prefer the formula and the price! And those tanologist drops are what I live by these days! Curious if you have priced any difference in the dark shade since the new EU regulations came out, or if you’ve tried the ultra dark version.
Purchased the tanologist drops on your rec and I really like it! Tnanks!
I’m glad that TH-cam recommended your video
I am wearing the L’Oréal serum foundation today and it is a beautiful foundation. I’m actually about out of it and it will be one of the only ones I repurchase. I agree about the it foundation it always sets heavy on me too. Love your videos :)
L’Oréal is just so good 😍
Going to try and find this. Everyone raves about it. ❤
I’ve been using the Moroccanoil dark tones dry shampoo for a couple years and I love it! It was the only one I’d seen until just in the last few months. I’ll have to check out the L’Oreal.
I think you may have gotten a bad bottle of the Missha - mine doesn’t leave ANY white cast (never has, I’m on my third bottle) and I’m like the same exact skin tone as you. Mine doesn’t feel oily or greasy in the slightest either - it feels slightly moisturizing almost like an emulsion/lotion moisturizer, but completely soaks into my skin within 2-3 minutes after 2 THICCCC layers of application.
