Fresh Sugar Mint Rush Lip Treatment
What it is: A 24-hour moisturizing lip treatment that delivers long-lasting hydration.
Review: “When it comes to lip balms, one of the biggest pet peeves I have is the balm coating my lips and feeling it long after I apply them. But this lip treatment from Fresh is perfect! It melts on your lips after applying, sinks in nicely, and deeply nourishes without feeling sticky. As for the scent, I initially thought the mint smelled artificial when I first used it, but I eventually grew used to it after using it for a while. Other than that, I think this is by far the best Fresh lip balm I ever used out of the others in the line.”— Tracy, Graphic Designer
Supergoop! Superscreen Daily Moisturizer SPF 40
What it is: A lightweight and bouncy moisturizer with added SPF for UV protection.
Review: “I made it my goal for 2021 to apply SPF at least once every day, and I’m so proud of myself for sticking with it – even though it’s only been a week or so. I’ve been loving the Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen so I decided to give this SPF moisturizer a try. Let me tell you, my skin is loving it! It’s lightweight enough so that I don’t instantly break out while giving me enough hydration and protection throughout the day. Just to note, there is a strong sunscreen scent, but I personally don’t mind.”— Isabel, Beauty Editor
Maison Margiela Replica in “Lazy Sunday Morning” – Travel Size
What it is: A delicate floral fragrance with notes of creamy white musk and Lily of the Valley.
Review: “I bought this on sale at Sephora and this fragrance is worth it! I absolutely love how it’s small enough to fit in my purse and carry around with me. The smell is gentle and clean and it reminds me of freshly fallen snow so I think it’s great for wearing during the winter season. The scent says it’s a feminine fragrance but I think it makes a great unisex fragrance!” — Claire, Video Editor
Mise En Scéne Damage Care Perfect Repair Serum
What it is: A nourishing hair serum infused with Argan oil and rose water to repair damaged hair strands.
Review: “Since hair and scalp care is getting a lot of attention, I wanted to give this serum a try. To use this serum, I apply this after washing my hair and right before blow-drying. Afterward, I notice my hair is a lot smoother and less frizzy so I really enjoy this product! I also like how it doesn’t leave my hair dried out even after blow-drying for a while. It also leaves behind a subtle fragrance that I really enjoy.” — Amber, Video Editor
Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF 50+
What it is: An ultra-refreshing and non-greasy sunscreen for all skin types & tones
Review: “After months of using the Canmake Mermaid Skin UV, I decided to purchase this on a whim after running out (cause this girl loves trying out new products!) and I’m obsessed! Not only does this chemical sunscreen feel like a beautiful hydrating lotion-serum, but it also glides across the skin flawlessly while leaving the skin feeling dewy and glowing! Best of all, there’s no white cast and it doesn’t clog my pores!” — Deb, Beauty Editor + Video Editor
La Roche-Posay Double Repair Face Moisturizer
What it is: Daily moisturizer that hydrates and soothes sensitive skin.
Review: “Since the weather is getting colder in New York City, I’m noticing that my oily skin is becoming drier. So I’ve been trying out a bunch of different moisturizers and eye creams to see what works for me. For me, moisturizer is a very important step so I’m really happy to discover this one from La Roche-Posay. Even though it’s a basic moisturizer, I really appreciate how they added their prebiotic-rich thermal spring water which helps rebuild my skin’s skin barrier and microbiome. I also like how this makes my skin feel very smooth and hydrated without clogging up my pores, no matter how many layers I put on! Ironically, I’ve been using this moisturizer for a long time, but it wasn’t until applying during the winter season that I realized how good it is! It’s so good that I’m currently using up a second bottle!” — Jane, Video Editor
Rated Green Real Mary Cold Brew Rosemary Purifying Scalp Scaler
What it is: A hydrating and purifying scalp exfoliator made with a blend of botanical oils to leave your hair soft and your scalp refreshed!
Review: “Seeing that this had lots of reviews online, I decided to give this a try. And true to the claims of managing hair oils and scalp buildup, I think it really does its job! I absolutely love how this leaves my scalp feeling super fresh and my hair soft after washing! There is a slight tingly sensation from the mint and tea tree oils, but I like that it leaves my scalp feeling refreshed and cleaner.” — Lucy, Motion Graphics Animator
