Whether You’re A Latte Lady Or A Martini Maven, Let Your Lips Do The Talking With Rom&nd Juicy Lasting Tint To Keep Them Looking Freshly Squeezed No Matter The Hour

Review:“Korean stuff works! And usually, for much less of the expense. This is an 8 PACK. I expected maybe two for the price until I opened the package. Despite the picture of an egg on the packaging it smells like egg whites, dog sniffed it up close, so could it actually be? 36 has brought many surprises and reality checks. Nothing is a good substitute for lots of water, luck of the gene pool, and exercise but this will provide an instant superficial confidence boost no matter the lifestyle or circumstance. I was starting to feel like my brows and eyes were slowly drooping and sinking into my skull. I’ve noticed the extra effort it takes lifting my brow muscles to see the world sometimes. For 15 minutes, I was able to look around bright-eyed with no effort.This not only tightens but tones so I made my gf try one with no warning. Doing this and trying not to laugh is a fun challenge.Not to mention the photos I randomly sent people with no explanation. Harder to not laugh when reading all of the “WHAT HAPPENED?!!!” replies. I wish I took a before picture. Pics shown are 8 min, 15 min, washed off. Of course, I also, apply everything on neck lines. I would recommend following up with a moisturizer. Not overly drying but a freshly clean feel.” -RhymeDust

Review:“I bought this on a whim because I deal with dry, tired eyes and dark circles. I don’t use it every day, but definitely a couple times a week before going out usually or if my eyes feel extra puffy.  It feels nice going on.It’s cool and soothing right out of the cabinet where I store my makeup. I’m sure the refrigerator would definitely add to that.It has a light perfume like scent, which I could do without, but nothing to take a star away. A little goes a long way and for the price I’d definitely buy again.” -nk

Review:“First of all, this is liquid like water, yes, because it’s a LIPTINT, not a lipstick or something like that, and it stains, because that’s the purpose.This is absolutely better than Benetint from Benefit! And WAY cheaper lol. In the pictures are me with and without the liptint, and just with one coat! The coverage is amazing, something that I never could get with Benetint, for sure.I just don’t know how long it lasts on the lips, but for me this is not to important, I don’t care if I have to apply another coat 🤷🏻‍♀️UPDATE ⚠️It lasts all day! But if you eat and clean your lips more than once, you’ll have to reapply 🙂Hope that this review can clarify things for the others 😉” -Dani

Review:“I just used this for the first time last night and it definitely lives up to the hype I’ve seen on TikTok. The jar is bigger than I thought making it cheaper than most similar products. It took off all of my makeup (although I do not wear eye shadow so can’t attest to that part) and it has a really amazing lemony scent. They also included a little scoop in the jar which I think is helpful I haven’t been able to find a cleansing balm as good as this! It removed everything with so little effort and did not bother my sensitive eyes. It is so creamy and moisturizing! Love it!” -N. Moreno

Are Your Nights Ending With A Makeup Mountain? Keep It Simple And Effective With Juno & Co. Clean 10 Cleansing Balm — Because Clean Skin Shouldn’t Need A Chemistry Degree!

Review:“I wasn’t expecting much from an eye cream under $10 but this is the perfect eye cream. My eye area tends to be dry but eye creams are either not moisturizing enough or are too rich and tend to give me milia. This eye cream has yet to give me milia, dries down to a comfortable finish while keeping my eye area moisturized. I don’t have eye wrinkles but hopefully the “retinol alternative” ingredients will help keep things that way! I love the pump dispenser (I don’t like dispensers that are also applicators which is weirdly a thing with tube eye creams). One pump is adequate for both eyes so I think it’ll take awhile to get through this cream. I love the skinny tube especially because it takes up less room in my toiletry bag/purse but I would buy a tube half the size just for travel if it was available.” -AK

Review:“I suffer from Rosacea so the skin in the middle of my face is often very, very pink. I have found that using the green color concealer is great for toning down the redness and that I don’t even need to layer it under other makeup. I initially applied it with a makeup brush but I find that it also applies nicely with my fingertip. I apply the concealer, and then blend it in lightly– the redness is diminished and I don’t see any green. As long as I don’t use too much, it doesn’t feel tacky on my oily skin. Overall, I am very impressed with this product and would recommend it to other Rosacea sufferers or others looking to reduce redness.” -Jenny H

Review:“I have very sensitive skin but I read the reviews and wanted to give this a try. It’s super fun and silly to put on and watch the cold, grey mask start to bubble. Tickles slightly. After its done, it takes a minute to wash off. This is not moisturizing. It definitely makes my skin dry but it creates smooth skin and my pores become smaller. Moisturize afterwards. I like to use once a week for a bit of self care.” -J & B Wortinger

Review:“Honestly, this was one of the best skincare discoveries in recent years. I’m always buying things to try here and there. Was looking for something with ceramides for the dryer colder months. This cream feels good! It’s rich without being greasy, it’s light without evaporating too quickly and drying my skin. I appreciate its simplicity, as it’s fool-proof when it comes to using it after any other irritating actives. It never makes my skin react, in fact, it’s the calming moisturizing step in my routine. I love it and will repurchase.” -Ivanna Y

Review:“I really like this eyeliner. I usually use a liquid liner but read good things about this one. I gave it a try for an all-day beach event and it stayed strong. It did not smudge, smear or bleed. After about 6 hours it did seem to fade a little bit but was still very visible. The tip is small and it goes on smoothly. Just twist when it gets low and it stays sharp” -Amy T.

But finally I have found the best fitted product that I can settle with. This cushion not only gives nice coverage, it leaves nice shine on your face all day long. It has nice mild scent. Also it is nice to carry around in my purse. Also it comes with refill which is a bonus ! Such a nice price with best result. I bought one for my mom and one for my sister and they absolutely loving it !!!” -April Oh
