Hey y’all today I used TikTok for the first time so please lowe my video idk what I’m doing 😭😭😭😭😭 Since a lot (zero, absolutely no one) of you have been asking for my daily makeup routine I thought I’d share on Cherie!! After applying BLACK GIRL SUNSCREEN - Black Girl Sunscreen SPF 30 Products used 1. DERMABLEND - Cover Care Full Coverage Concealer - THIS IS BASICALLY A FOUNDATION IN A LITTLE TUBE STICK - a little goes a long way 2. Dark brown pencil from the hair store (5/5) - This baby has been lasting me for 8997 years 3. DERMABLEND - Loose Setting Powder - sometimes I use this with nothing on my face (it’s so smoooooth) 4. VASANTI - Bloom Mineral Blush 5. CAUDALIE - French Kiss Tinted Lip Balm - it’s like a tinted Vaseline but less hydrating And that’s it!! Thanks for watching 😭

Hi! Thought I’d share a quick review of Aveenos New Calm+ Restore serum Aveeno - Calm + Restore Triple Oat Serum To my fellow Canadian Cherie users 🇨🇦, I don’t think this product is available in Canada yet but I was able to purchase mine on Amazon :) I went out of my way to purchase this product because I’m on a mission to restore my skin barrier (always) Before this serum I was using Avène - Hydrance Intense Rehydrating Serum however using it twice a day, the price was draining my wallet so I was looking for a cheaper alternative that might offer similar results. Made for sensitive skin, this product contains GLYCERIN just like Avene rehydrating serum, which I noticed helps the dry irritated areas on my face drastically with consistent use. This product is meant to help soothe & nourish dry skin + fortifies moisture barrier — like hello this product was basically calling me by my first name 🥲 I know I put 4 stars but I’m really giving it a 3.8 and here’s why. 1. It contains a little too many ingredients for my liking. Avene (the previous serum I was using) are known for their minimal ingredient list and the Aveeno serum has ingredient names I cannot even pronounce HOWEVER it hasn’t irritated my eczema so that’s a good sign I guess. 2. The dropper bottle has to be pressed at the top which I find pretty awkward but who knows, maybe you’ll like it 🤷🏾‍♀️ 3. After applying the serum in combination with my other skincare products, it leaves my skin texture a little sticky. Not enough to really bother me but kinda enough to bother me LOL Anyways ask me again in two months if I still like this product 😂 Thank you all for reading :)

Hey y’all it’s been a while!!!!!! Kinda sorta disappeared 😅 but I’m back and I’ve been patient so I could give you guys the best of the best product reviews STARRING my problematic skin!!! If you know me I talk a lot about “less is more” and how I believe toners are a scam 😂 HOWEVER, after a lot of trial and error + knowledge thanks to this app, I finally decided to reintroduce Le Toner and see if my skin hates it once and for all. FIRST AID BEAUTY - Ultra Repair Wild Oat Hydrating Toner An alcohol-free (praise the lord), oatmeal-powered toner that hydrates, relieves, and soothes skin Contains: . Colloidal Oatmeal: Helps soothe and protect dry or distressed skin. Wild Oats: Help soothe and relieve irritated skin. Honey: A humectant rich in antioxidants that helps soothe, soften, and moisturize skin. Hyaluronic acid: we all know this is the plump QUEEN (For some context I have eczema, dry, hyperpigmented + and let’s call it a compromised skin barrier? LOL) I bought this toner in hopes the oat and hyaluronic acid would plump and soothe my constantly irritated/sensitive skin and here’s what happened... When I bought this toner my skin was a solid 9/10 (yup you read right 😌) It was strong and not irritated. The only thing that didn’t make it a 10 was my hyperpigmentation. After using this toner continuously morning and night (about 3 weeks) my skin felt plump, smooth and balanced :) The texture is kinda milky and absorbed very nice. NO COMPLAINTS, no irritation, no purging... life was great!! 🥰 Around this time however I starting introducing more actives to start helping with my pigmentation because again ... life was great!! 🥴 Somewhere along this short journey I irritated my skin (started getting red, dry flakes etc) AKA I messed up 😭 Now because my skin is kinda mad at me I THOUGHT FIRST AID BEAUTY - Ultra Repair Wild Oat Hydrating Toner would help save the day. Despite it being alcohol free, it ended up burning the sensitive areas on my face. I understand a toners goal is to restore balance, help with absorption etc, but considering this is suppose to be a SOOTHING toner it failed when my skin was on the “compromised” side HENCE DA 4 STARS I would definitely recommend this toner for someone with dry skin however if you got some skin damage or a weakened barrier probably hold off. Aside from that experience with my skin healing and getting stronger, I’ve slowly reintroduced this toner anytime Im about to use a face mask and/or if I’m feeling risqué 🥲 I hope to reintroduce this toner back every day (once a day) but for now it’s hiding in a corner till my skin feels strong enough Anyways thank you for reading my life story. 🙃 Don’t be silly like me an introduce 20 new skincare products at a time love u all bye!! :)

If you know me Shoppers Drug Mart is my best friend for skincare! I’ve been trying out a lot of La-Roche Posay and Avene skincare products which both use Thermal spring water! I happen to have more dehydrated and sun damaged skin on my face so major goals of mine is fixing hyperpigmentation and hydration LA ROCHE-POSAY - Rehydrating Serum with Hyaluronic Acid super hydrating base. No flakes!! Using this product overtime has helped my skin significantly and overtime especially (post shower) my skin doesn’t feel as tight Avène - A-OXitive Antioxidant Water-Cream going on this whole “less is more approach” I was looking for a moisturizer that can offer many benefits so I can eliminate my serum step in the morning. This water cream provides antioxidant (Vit c) / antipollution properties and it leaves my skin GLOWING. I recommend you try these products either by itself or together. Thanks for reading guys :)

Oh HEY my to go look takes me about 6 minutes and as you can tell, I am very proud DERMABLEND - Flawless Creator Multi-Use Liquid Foundation Drops This wouldn’t be my post if I didn’t mention this product ( HOLY GRAIL) DERMABLEND - Illuminating Banana Powder Amazing at letting my makeup sit, wouldn’t recommend for my oily friends though! ANASTASIA Beverly Hills - Dipbrow Pomade I know this product has been retired by the makeup community however after using this product for 4+ years, I consider myself a master now. I love that a little goes a long way (I’m only on pomade #2) VASANTI - Bloom Mineral Blush This was a random purchase I made last year yet I absolutely love to use this daily. I only put enough for me to see 😂 NYX - Soft Matte Metallic Lip Cream I’ve purchased over 20 of these in the last 3 years because 1. I’m always losing them, 2. It’s the perfect shade for me 🥺

MY CURRENT NIGHT ROUTINE So for those who have seen previous post of mine you probably know my obsession with Mad Hippie - Vitamin A Serum It’s been a huge help with my hyperpigmentation and it keeps my face feeling soft, plumped, hydrated and healthy Recently purchasing Mad Hippies Night cream, I thought I’d share some details on both products and why These . Are . IT Mad Hippie - Vitamin A Serum Vitamin A or what others know as RETINOL is known for stimulating collagen production, reducing pigmentation and premature aging What makes mad hippie different is they use HPR, a form of vitamin A that is bio available and does not need to take the metabolic steps like Retinol. It also contains Sodium hyaluronic - the salt of hyaluronic acid which reallllly helps with the moisture Aloe Vera & Oat Beta glucan - both helps fight wrinkles, soothes and nourishes After cleansing my face I apply a few drops on clean skin and give it 5-10 minutes to really absorb Mad Hippie - Triple C Night Cream Containing 3 bio available versions of Vit C this cream is a strong contender for fighting daily stressors, brighten, reduce discolouration and wrinkles (um yes). Reishi - Mushroom that contains antioxidants and hydration (on a side note) I LOVE MUSHROOM PRODUCTS. I drink mushroom coffee errday and have 10 mushroom blends I use daily. The power of mushroom is no joke and you should look into it Sodium PCA - binds moisture, improves hydration Cloudberry - Helps with pigmentation and brightness Turmeric extract - pigmentation/discolouration boo and known to help my acne prone friends Chaga - ANOTHER MUSHROOM 😍 but like also good for protecting you and daily stressors Shea butter!!!! Ceramics - holds moisture A lot of people like to use Vit C during the day but I’ve always liked using it at night. Having this cream has eliminated my nightly VitC step all together :) Though I’ve had this night cream for less than a month this is a SUPER hydrating face cream for my dry ladies I apply this after letting my Vit A serum absorb It does NOT irritate my damaged skin and in combination with VitA leaves my skin feeling like a babies bottom :) If you made it to the end, this is your sign! Look into organic, natural skin care products or mushrooms lol... always remember less is more :)))) bye

Have I told you how much I love @alliesofskin products which I have used so far. They easily became my most loved brand in the past few months and their products work. No joke! So I have been testing out their Vitamin C collagen serum for the past few weeks and I must say I'm hooked to this one now. Vitamin c and I don't really play well because of my sensitive skin and most of them breaks me out and I wasn't sure of this one has well until I used it and now I love it. This is the world's first and only waterless serum with 35% concentration. Comprising of 25% ethylated L-Ascorbic acid and 10% tetra hexyldecyl ascorbate. Both of these are extremely stable form and they penetrate deep in your skin (dermis layer) and also helps in collagen production, rebuild skin barrier and visibly brightens up the dark spots. This is also supercharged with some antioxidant complex one of them being the glutathione which is said to be a powerful antioxidant and helps in repairing the signs of premature aging,fine lines, wrinkles and also act as a protective shield from sun damage. The texture of this more like an oil form but on application it doesn't feel anything like oil but more like a satiny feeling and quickly absorbs in the skin. I have been using for quite a few weeks and I have noticed a huge difference than ever in my dark spots and also my skin looks more even and bright. Now for the fragrance,it doesn't have any added scent to it but you do get a teeny tiny but of smell to it due to the vitamin c but quickly goes away within seconds so that's not an issue for me. I'm in love with this one and super impressed as to how quickly it shows results. I'm proud to be an Ally!!

I’m back with another Amazon find, that will change ya life!! 🤑 If you’re like me, your hair is dry, damaged (color or heat) and loves a protein treatment. This is not an exact dupe of Olaplex (literally nothing is, it is a patented formula so beware of anyone claiming to be). However, this replicates some of the benefits that an Olaplex treatment gives you for a fraction of the price. Pros: Affordable Works for every hair type Delivers SHINE honey and hair feels healthier Defines curls, waves after rinsing Cons Small bottle, be conservative with application (maybe 1x a month) If you are protein sensitive this won’t be for you. Elizavecca - Cer-100 Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment

This is my absolute favourite toner for the morning. I apply this with my hands right after a gentle cleanser and before my vitamin C serum. Not only does it provide hydration, but my skin feels plumper and looks brighter the more that I use this toner. Now, I will say that this toner if quite different than the one I use at nighttime to help target my texture and keep my acne at bay. I don’t necessarily think I need this hydrating / brightening toner, but man, I just love it and I love how my skin feels after using this consistently. If you do have dry or very dull skin or skin with pesky acne scars, I do think this could be a great product for you. The good: + Although this has a very watery texture, this locks in moisture to the skin! If I’m having a particularly dull skin day, I’ll add a couple layers of this and my skin will feel extra hydrated. + Makes skin feel so plump and smooth. + Skin is slowly looking brighter and I’ve noticed this in combination with my vitamin C have really helped fade my acne scars. + Key ingredients include: rice extract (mild exfoliation and brightening) and niacinimide (minimizes pore appearance, improves skin tone and balances oils). + Large bottle (150ml) for around $30 and it will last you quite a long time. I’ve used mine for over two months now and I’m not even half way done. + No fragrance, essential oils or alcohol. And it’s cruelty free. The not so good: - uhhhhhhhhhhh the fact that it will one day be empty. - My usual complaint that I will need to order this online and it will take 2-3 weeks to get to Canada depending on where they ship it from. Worth it? Yes! It might seem a lot for a toner but this is lasting me a long time and I’m love the effects. Will I repurchase? Yes! Ps I have combo, acne prone skin :)

I’m gonna be real for a second and tell y’all that sometimes I get too lazy to do a full nighttime routine, specially during the winter when it’s cold and I just want to get into bed. Enter: the overnight mask. Whenever I’m too tired to get into a 3+ steps routine at night I love throwing on something like this after washing my face. I feel I have told you like 1,000 times now but I have combination, dehydrated skin and this being a gel-like formula is lightweight yet nourishing enough for me 🍯 it is propolis extract based which serves as a powerful anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory ingredient + beeswax for moisture. Plus you can use it as a regular wash-off mask too!
