ELLA K BEAUTY REVIEW

Belif The True Tincture Essence-Chamomile Review

The True Tincture Chamomile Essence is a silky toner-like liquid with a natural citrus-herbal scent.  The formula features chamomile tincture extract,
beta-glucan, panthenol, and multiple skin-calming plant extracts.  The essence absorbs quickly into the skin without shine or stickiness.  The formula softens, soothes, and lightly hydrates the skin.

Skin Laundry Wrinkle Release Eye Cream with Peptides Review

Wrinkle Release Eye Cream with Peptides is a lightweight yet emollient eye cream enriched with shea butter, coffee seed extract, peptides, and other ingredients that benefit the eye area.  The silky formula glides easily over the skin and absorbs quickly.  The eye cream softens lines and deeply hydrates the eye area without shine or greasiness.  The product creates a smooth base for concealer. 

Dr. Jart+ Dermask Clearing Solution Ultra-Fine Microfiber Sheet Mask Review

Clearing Solution Ultra-Fine Microfiber Sheet Mask is a no-rinse facial sheet mask for acne-prone skin.  The sheet mask is soaked in a clearing/brightening solution that combines niacinamide, vitamin C, glutathione, tree tree oil, salicylic acid, and other skin conditioners.  The mask feels silky and cool on the skin, and stays put during treatment.  Once the mask is removed, the clearing solution quickly absorbs into the skin with just a hint of tackiness.  The mask leaves the skin hydrated and glowing, but is less effective in reducing blemishes.

Klorane Shampoo with Essential Olive Extract Review

Shampoo with Essential Olive Extract is a green gel shampoo with a soapy-floral scent.  The formula is enriched with olive extract, antioxidants, and lightweight hair conditioners.  The shampoo lathers generously and cleanses the hair thoroughly.  The shampoo rinses without residue and leaves hair full and clean, but slightly dry. 

Urban Decay Vice Lipstick (Walk of Shame) Review

Walk of Shame is a pale beige-pink lipstick with a fine shimmer.  The color is sheer yet buildable and would pair well with a smokey eye.  The creamy formula goes on smoothly and leaves lips with a soft, shimmery finish.  The lipstick has no discernible scent or flavor, and it offers average staying power.

Redken Hair Cleansing Cream Review

Redken Hair Cleansing Cream is a clarifying shampoo with a cream-gel texture and a refreshing citrus scent.  The shampoo is formulated to remove mineral deposits and styling product build-up from hair while adding shine with fruit acids.  The shampoo works into a rich, thick lather that deeply cleanses and purifies the hair.  The formula is less drying than most clarifying shampoos, and leaves hair soft, light, and free of residue.

Kérastase Elixir Ultime Masque Review

Elixir Ultime Masque is a thick yellow hair mask with a heavy tropical-floral fragrance.  The silicone-free formula is enriched with oils of maize, argan, camellia, and pracaxi.  The creamy mask distributes easily through the hair, smoothing it and easing tangles.  The mask rinses without residue and leaves hair soft, hydrated, and manageable.
