★ Best face milk
Glazing Milk Ceramide Facial Essence
Rhode Glazing Milk Ceramide Facial Essence
Brought up 11 times
The Rhode glazing milk is one of my all-time favorite skincare products, something I genuinely can't live without. If there's one thing from the skincare lineup that I think you need to try, it's this. It's a holy grail product for me and it deserves an award time and time again. I love it.
★ Best sunscreen
Shade Drops Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Mineral Milk Sunscreen
Summer Fridays Shade Drops Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Mineral Milk Sunscreen
Brought up 10 times
I still by far use my Summer Fridays Shade Drops the most. This is my favorite sunscreen. I'm picky and love a good mineral sunscreen, I've tried all of them, and this was my most used.
★ Best detangling spray
7 Seconds Detangler
Unite 7 Seconds Detangler
Brought up 7 times
If you've got tangly hair, [...] get the Unite detangling spray and then pair it with a Tangle Teezer. You will thank me later, I promise. It's like the best combination.
★ Best makeup applicator
Original
Beautyblender Original
Brought up 6 times
I do feel like the original Beautyblenders have something about them that I love. I love how they apply makeup, and I do think that they are different than other sponges. [...] There is something about the material of the Beautyblender that's just special. [...] For some reason, the black Beautyblender works better than all of them [...] in my opinion. It's supreme, it's the best one. This is definitely not a need though, since there are a lot of other sponges on the market.
★ Best tinted serum with spf
Tint & Protect SPF 50+ Tinted Serum Foundation
Ciele Tint & Protect SPF 50+ Tinted Serum Foundation
Brought up 6 times
I love how skin-like this Ciele Tint & Protect SPF 50+ Tinted Serum Foundation is. It genuinely just blends into the skin without looking like too much. [...] I'm going to take my sponge and just press everything into the skin.
★ Best eye cream
Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado
Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado
Brought up 5 times
The Kiehl's avocado eye cream is an incredible eye cream for underneath makeup specifically.

Products where their take diverges from the rest of the gurus.

Allie Glines: Nay vs gurus 74% Yay
I got mascara all over when I applied the L'Oreal Panorama mascara to my top and bottom lashes. Normally mascara buffs off nicely, but this is a more heavy duty mascara I guess, because that did not remove very easily.
Allie Glines: Nay vs gurus 74% Yay
I think it's pretty. I don't think it's a need, honestly. I mean, it is cute, it's pretty, but it's so expensive for what it is. I feel like there's just much better out there.
Allie Glines: Nay vs gurus 65% Yay
This actually took a long time to dry. It kind of has like a thicker formula so maybe I needed to use thinner layers but it's kind of hard to because it's actually like a pretty thick polish formula. The color is really nice that I chose, I chose Buff and Tumble and I really like how it looks. I sat there and I tried to let it dry as long as possible but then I had to get going and I smudged my nail polish and usually that only happens when a polish actually doesn't dry very fast.
Allie Glines: Nay vs gurus 68% Yay
The reviewer initially applies this warm peachy nude Satin Slip lipstick but then finds it's too peachy and switches products because they don't want the lips competing with the eyes.

"I used the Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky Tubes mascara. This is such a good one, it's a tubing mascara. [...] It's really nice, I like how soft and wispy you can get this formula, because with tubing mascaras you kind of get one effect on the lashes, whereas with this one you can get a little more of a soft volume."

"The formula is grippy and buildable, so it builds up quickly but stays very pretty. The smaller applicator is nice on the lower lashes. I [...] think it looks really nice, it built up nicely and gives good volume. We'll obviously see how it wears, but to me that looks really nice. I [...] applied really nicely, I'll have to keep you guys posted on how it ends up working for me as I wear it."

"I've also been so obsessed with Make a Toast from ColourPop, their Jelly Much gel eyeshadow sticks, which is the glitter you see on my eyelids today. These are so nice, I still need to try the other shades I have, but I just can't get enough of Make a Toast. It's the perfect taupey silver color, I think it pairs perfectly with the Morphe eyeshadow palette. 10 out of 10, I'm obsessed."

"I have got some Mature Beauty Velvet Eyeliners. These look stunning. She launched five shades. First of all, the packaging is just to die for. I love all the details. There's a little angled brush on one end and then you've got obviously the eyeliner on the other. [...] The shades are so smooth. [...] This is steel gray, which looks so pretty. This is the [...] Champagne Bronze, which is so unique. I really like this color. [...] It kind of pulls a little olive. It's stunning."

"I love it because it very closely matches my skin tone, so it's really foolproof. This is great for everyday, but also great for a look like this where you want the tones to be something that closely matches your natural skin tone. And that'll give you a really ethereal vibe. Still polished, but nothing like jumpy, you know, no bright bright colors. It'll give like a super soft, effortless vibe and glow to the skin and to the overall look."

"The Hung Vanngo Color Story Eyeshadow Palette in New Neutral. [...] This packaging is just so fun. I love that he went with like a bold red color for his packaging. That's prettier in person than it even was online. [...] These shades are so nice. So easy to blend. Very pigmented. The mirror on this is really nice."
✓Yay

"The best part about this is Mario does an amazing job with his matte eyeshadow formula and the shades that he chooses, like the undertones, but also the shimmer shades. [...] I love this palette so much. I haven't used it because it was out of stock. Like, you couldn't get it anymore. And now that it's back, you guys better get ready because I'm going to be using this nonstop. It's such a beautiful palette."
✓Yay

"This is one of my favorite volumizing mascaras. Sometimes I wish they sold the primer and the mascara formula in like full size tubes because I feel like I've been running out of this so quickly. After that I don't feel like I need false lashes."
✓Yay

"I am partial to a brown mascara. I really, really like that. I do feel like this is just me being picky. I almost wish that the brown liner matched the brown of this because the brown mascara against the brown eyeliner makes the eyeliner look black and then it kind of doesn't look as cohesive as what I would want. [...] But do you see what I'm saying? [...] I wish they were more similar so that it would look more cohesive. [...] There's a little bit of fallout from the shimmer shade."

"I have my eye on the brown one. I love a good brown mascara, and this is one of my favorite formulas of all time. It's such a beautiful mascara. It has a gorgeous curved brush. It's just foolproof. It's what I'm wearing today on my lashes. It's a nice little fluffy everyday mascara. Wears really well. I need a restock of this. It's one of my favorites and it's been in my routine and collection for years. Honestly, since it launched, [...] it's just a really, really good, reliable mascara."

"Now, this is a little bit deeper than what I typically go for on an everyday basis, but I think it's going to add something really chic and cool to the look. [...] You'll see it just like deepens the tone slightly around my eyes, but it's not too much of a stark contrast to look unnatural. [...] Just by doing something slightly deeper around the eyes, it adds something special to the look without adding effort because a casual look should not be hard to do."

"But I did want to like revisit this. I've only used this once so far. And I did really like it. I just feel like it takes a bit of getting used to because when it comes to brow pens, I'm used to just having like one prong on the brow pen. So having two is a little bit different. See how there's two here? It makes for a little bit of a learning curve, but feel like the results are still pretty natural. I used the shade Dark Brunette."

"It's very much like a barely there type of mascara. It doesn't add much volume at all. It just basically coats your lashes lightly with a bit of pigment. [...] I do like how natural it looks. It's very like fluttery, wispy."

"I grabbed this one that's actually a berry brown from Thrive Cosmetics. It's in the shade Elena. [...] This one has like a little bit of a berry to it, which I thought would be really cool and interesting. [...] I just felt like this would bring a little bit of a cooler twist to a typical everyday look. Feels a little different while still being very wearable. This is such a nice color. I really, really love that hint of berry in there."
✓Yay

"It's so stunning. I've been loving to just apply it more on the blush, but like highlighter, a little of both. And I've just been putting it on the cheeks and it adds like a pink glow. It's so pretty and it just makes your skin look more like glass skin. It just looks healthy. I typically in the past have really only mixed these top two shades as like a proper highlighter. But the blush topper situation is chef's kiss. So good."

"He recently launched his master mascara, and I've only used it a couple of times. It wore really well on me. I'm going to kind of go in ham with this mascara on just the top lashes. I like to do this when I do my eyes first, especially if there is any sort of shimmer or glitter on the eyelid. I feel like it just kind of catches any additional fallout as I do my base makeup when I have mascara on."
✓Yay

"I like how smooth my lashes are looking. There's zero clumpage, which is nice. It just looks soft and feathery. I could see this being a great everyday mascara for a lot of people. It's just soft and it gently enhances the lashes without them feeling heavy at all. It's extremely lightweight, actually. [...] It's so comfortable. It's very lightweight. Feels like I have nothing on the lashes, which is really nice."

"I am going to add frog from Colourpop, which is from your own collection, and it's such a good one. I'm just going to use my fingertip for this actually. I love this glow. And I feel like this is great to apply on top of a cream shadow. It's one of my favorite everyday quick looks. Doing one like cream shadow and then a topper."
✓Yay

"This is one of my favorite colors. It's from Lisa Eldridge, and it's a gorgeous taupey mauve. [...] It's not too dark, so it's going to brighten up your eyelid, which I think is really pretty. It's not too brown, not too pink, not too purple. It's kind of a perfect mix. [...] You could do this with your fingertips as well with a color like that."

"I'm going to use the Maybelline Super Lock Brow Gel. This is a little bit more of a heavy duty brow gel but it's a great one from the drugstore. I'm just going to brush that through to make sure my brows look nice and clean and stay in place all day."

"For me personally, I've tried too many that are better, so I don't think I will be wearing this often, or maybe ever again. [...] Smudging with mascara is literally my pet peeve. I can handle a little bit of flaking, which honestly there wasn't any really today at all, but the smudging I can't get past. I don't want to have to worry about my mascara smudging."
✕Nay

"I feel like this is a good one to have if you're a makeup artist. The colors are going to be something that you're going to reach for basically every single color, at least for me. So I do think it's a really nice palette. It's mostly matte shades though, so it's up to you to know if you would like to spend that much on a palette like this. But I do think it's nice."
✓Yay

"At 100 layers, this isn't clump-resistant anymore, although it doesn't look crazy. It's not my favorite effect when it comes to mascara. I like more of a separated look and you kind of lose that once you hit 100 layers. The brush allows you to get really soft, nice separated lashes earlier on, which I loved. My eyes kind of feel like they're burning or scratching on the top layer. I don't know if it's the formula, but my gut is telling me it's the wand scraping against my eyeline 100 times."

"This one is just the best all-around mascara. I feel like it gives the perfect amount of volume, great separation, great lift, and it wears really well, which is the most important for me personally. The formula is great. I especially love the burgundy, though I pop that on the lower lashes. It's usually more visible if I'm able to put it on the top lashes as well. The burgundy honestly I feel like you can really wear on almost a daily basis, it's such a pretty color."

"This is my favorite or one of my favorites from the drugstore. You know it's been a favorite of mine for years. This color looked so pretty. It's a little bit lighter of a brown than most, and it has like a little bit of a red undertone to it, which I think is so flattering. And it really matches that eyeliner actually perfectly. [...] I like to layer up my mascaras anyway, but especially a brown mascara I love to really make it a statement. [...] The color is so nice."

"I'm wearing their cream solo shadow in the shade Social kind of all over underneath that on top, but it's the most beautiful glitter.

This is their prettiest shade, I think."

"I don't think it's a bad palette at all. I think it's a really pretty palette and I love rosy tones like this. I just feel like for it to win every year, maybe it's just because people are just trying to go through theirs and they haven't yet so they haven't bought a new one. I don't know. Or maybe I'm out of touch. But there's so many out there and I'm not saying this is not good, but this just seems like maybe the people voting for this haven't tried more shadows."

It does that but in a powder form, which is nice because the powders mean there will be more longevity than a cream. A little bit goes a long way with this."

"It truly looks so seamless all over the cheeks and along the forehead. It seems like it has a little bit of a healthy glow to it, nothing crazy, just a little bit, and that seems really nice. The color is a little bit too red for my personal taste, but I don't think it looks bad, so for me it might just be that I need to go find a shade that has a more neutral undertone versus this. But I do think this is a really nice formula. I can see why everyone's really loving it, it blends really nicely."

"It really is. It is such a finely milled powder. I mean, on your fingers it feels so smooth, it's almost like creamy. It's very silky. It blends extremely well. If you were to take a brush and just apply it under the cheekbones, it just blends really well. It's so flawless, so easy to work with. It's not too pigmented, it's like just the right amount of pigmentation, but the texture especially feels like a high-end powder because of how soft and smooth it is. It's gorgeous."

You guys know I am just taking that directly on my sponge and I'm going to apply this lower than I usually do since we already have eye makeup on, that way I can use what's left on the sponge and take it up toward the eyeshadow, versus like accidentally putting too much too close to the eyeshadow. But this is seeming to work really well to just work my way around the eyeshadow a bit. Love that for me."

If you've overdone it with some sort of active on your face, if you've got a sunburn, if you've got really dry skin, like anything that you just need like a super fix of, the Ultra Repair Cream comes in very handy and it's always good to have on hand as well."

"It smells the same as the dewy skin cream, but you can definitely tell it's a lot more lightweight. It still gives that gorgeous smoothing texture to the skin. It's sinking in beautifully. It almost feels like a watery base at first and then it starts to sink in. You can see the nice glow that it gives. Definitely does feel more lightweight than the original, but I'm interested to see how it wears throughout the day underneath makeup."

I actually just restocked this. It's one of my favorites. It's so good. It's one of the masks that I just keep going back to because it really makes a difference in how my skin looks and feels. Plus during the fall it smells so good like it smells like pumpkin pie. It's delicious."

TikTok got a hold of this a couple years ago, and I feel like everyone has tried it, and if you haven't yet, I'm sure you've heard of it at least. So I put a little bit of that on.

It was such a fun mask to apply, I had so much fun applying this. It dried down nicely and it wasn't super drying to wear, like your face felt like it was going to crack. It still had a bit of flexibility to it."

"As a body wash this is so nice and luxurious, a little goes a long way so it's going to take forever to go through, and I love how hydrating it is. [...] It does lather a little bit but it's not super foamy, and that's actually what I love most about it. It's such a nice product and it's quite affordable, even the large size was pretty affordable, though I'd say try the smaller size first since you definitely don't need the largest size possible."

Great shade range, great coverage, but somehow undetectable. Literally melts into your skin. Obviously, it's very buildable. So, if you felt like you needed more coverage, you could build this up quite a bit. But the finish always remains so natural looking. I love this.

"The COSRX Advanced Snail Mucin Power Essence [...] is worth the hype. It's a product that lives up to the hype for her since her pores virtually disappear when she uses it consistently. She feels everyone's obsessed with it for a reason and highly recommends trying it if you haven't."

"I love the Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray. This is beautiful, especially if you have acne-prone skin. I honestly wish I had this during my intense acne days because I feel like it would have really come in handy, but I love having it anyways even though I don't always have active breakouts. It's nice if I'm feeling like I've got a little bit of texture or something like that. This is so beautiful and it just is great for sensitive skin."

"I tried a new perfume today, [...] the Prada Paradox one, and it smells really nice. I wanted something a little more classic, floral, fresh, and it definitely is, but it's warmer too, which is good. But I really like it. I don't always get around to all the perfumes I receive because I stick to the classics [...] I love the most, but I'm glad I tried this one on. It's actually really nice."

"It has stayed the most similar to when it first launched. I think this smells so good. When I first smelled this back in the day when I was younger, I didn't like it. I feel like my taste was different at the time. Now that I'm in my 30s, this feels so classy to me and I really love it and I feel like I need to maybe one day treat myself to a bottle of No. 5 because I just feel like it's a right of passage almost to own Chanel No. 5."

"The Vacation Vacation Eau de Toilette I'm eyeing because for $30 and I really do love the original one. It's very summery, but for $30 instead of 60, I really think I'm going to bite the bullet and get that one."

"It smells really good. Honestly it smells a lot like the Letia 22 Orus, so I already have something very similar, but there is that Glossier You undertone which I like. I'm honestly glad that I bought the travel size though I don't know if I'll get the full size because I already have a full size of something pretty similar with that Letia fragrance, but it is very nice. I do like it and I've heard a lot of good things about it."

"I actually feel like the longer you have a bottle of this, the better it gets. When I pulled it out again, cuz I bought mine last year, when I pulled it out again and sprayed it, I felt like it actually did have more longevity than I recalled from last year. [...] It is such a perfect, like, spicy, warm, everyday Christmas cookie, but also fall. It's perfect. I wear this from September all the way through January, February. It's just my favorite winter and fall cozy daily scent."

"For fragrance, Replica By The Fireplace is one of my favorites. It's so good. It's my personal go-to right now for fall winter. I've been using this for years. The scent is like nothing else. I feel like I've been transported to a cabin in the mountains and I'm sitting By The Fireplace every time I wear it. Picture Taylor Swift folklore in a bottle. It just puts me in the best mood. It's the only fragrance I wear in the fall and winter months. Highly recommend."

"The packaging is so cute. I just keep these out in my bathroom and then it has like little applicators inside and you just pick one up and it's soaked in like a serum and you apply it all over. I use this morning and night. [...] I really really loved this one. [...] It has done a good job kind of evening out my skin and brightening things up."

"Fenty skin fat water this year this is the hydrating milky toner Essence I keep this downstairs which is why I haven't used quite as much as I do my other toners because this is what I use to prep my skin for makeup and it is so beautiful it really does prep the skin perfectly it hydrates the skin and it leaves it just feeling cleansed and ready for makeup so I keep this down here for my makeup prep. [...] I use this first [...] and then I go in with the moisturizer and then makeup."

"She used it on me when she did my makeup so I bought it. I've actually never really tried Fenty skin products before, but I really am loving this. It's only been a few days of me trying this but it just really plumps up the skin. It's such a beautiful formula. I've actually been using this as my nighttime toner as well but I might end up keeping it down here like in my filming room just to prep makeup with. I really enjoy it though."

"The attachment, the exfoliation attachment, is so great. [...] This is expensive, but [...] as a stay-at-home mom, if you are looking for an extra step in your skincare routine or an at-home spa situation, this is really really nice. [...] The skincare that comes with it [...] is also fantastic. My skin's been loving it. [...] This one is not gimmicky. I actually saw a difference with the exfoliating portion and I cannot get enough of the hot and cold gouacha tool. It's incredible."

"For a skin care device, I really love this Medicube device, it's one of my favorite things. I [...] use the booster mode the most, which pushes the products you apply deeper into the skin, it feels so good and depuffs the skin. I've used this for years, it's so nice. Level one is honestly enough for me, and you feel the effects pretty immediately. Medicube is one of my favorite skin care brands in general, everything I've tried from them [...] I really like."

"This has microcurrent, it has red light therapy, it warms the skin, it feels incredible, and it's just a really easy way to incorporate amazing skincare into your routine. [...] A lot of my skincare devices take a lot of time and so I feel like I have to really set aside like a spa night to do a full treatment, [...] but this one's a really easy one to incorporate every day. I love how it kind of goes side to side so you can customize the direction you're using this."

"I feel like a new woman. These are definitely longer than what I would normally go for and typically I paint my natural nails so I don't often do press-on, but she convinced me. I really like how they look and I do feel like I have a new personality with these on. I could do better next time about gluing them, I'm a newbie with press-on so I'm not the best, and I feel like I picked the wrong size on a couple of my nails, but overall from a distance they look really nice."

"This actually took a long time to dry. It kind of has like a thicker formula so maybe I needed to use thinner layers but it's kind of hard to because it's actually like a pretty thick polish formula. The color is really nice that I chose, I chose Buff and Tumble and I really like how it looks. I sat there and I tried to let it dry as long as possible but then I had to get going and I smudged my nail polish and usually that only happens when a polish actually doesn't dry very fast."

"Shani Darden's retinol is my favorite right now. [...] The retinol reform is incredible, it's so beautiful, it really really does the trick. It's very gentle but you notice amazing results, at least I did. [...] If you've never tried a retinol you really should. I feel like that is an ingredient and a product that has made one of the biggest difference in my skin tone and texture just over the years. So highly recommend looking into a retinol, and the Shani Darden is one of my number ones."
