BEST!
I will never stop using this, it’s amazing!! I lose a lot of hair and my scalp gets oily easily, but this has really saved me. I feel so clean afterwards and now I also have longer hair. Buy this instead of expensive detox shampoos!!1 product in post BEST!53 views - The post was made 5 daysRating: 5 out of 5
Super!
I've been testing this for two months and would say that I'm satisfied. I have somewhat sensitive acne-prone skin with a tendency for clogged pores. This has helped me with clean pores, smoother skin, and has helped with old acne spots.1 product in post Super!42 views - The post was made 5 daysRating: 3 out of 5
Not for me
It's totally fine if you want quick results, but I prefer mud masks even though it takes a bit longer with them.1 product in post Not for me24 views - The post was made 5 daysRating: 4 out of 5

Good for sensitive acne-prone skin
This works well for me during spring/summer when I can get oily in the face. No problem applying makeup afterwards and it doesn't affect it throughout the day. 4 stars due to high price.1 product in post Good for sensitive acne-prone skin7 views - The post was made 5 daysRating: 5 out of 5
Winter Hero!
This one is perfect if you get easily red and dry during the winter. Worked wonderfully in conjunction with drying acne products. VERY economical and gives a nice glow :)1 product in post Winter Hero!5 views - The post was made 5 daysRating: 5 out of 5
A good cream for dry skin + oily T-zone combo
Good, long-lasting moisturizing cream if you have dry skin with an oily T-zone. I've used it for 3 years but would say it might be too much if you generally have oily skin. Worked well with acne treatment and drying medication.1 product in post A good cream for dry skin + oily T-zone combo117 views - The post was made 1 weekRating: 5 out of 5
Nail Polish 570 Marquise Please + Top Coat
I have tested Essie Gel Couture in the shade 570 Marquise Please and I am satisfied! My first impression is that the nail polish bottle does not have the same traditional, iconic design as their regular nail polishes, which is good so that you don't confuse it with the "normal" polishes. Additionally, it is very stylish and futuristic in its design. The color itself (570) is to die for!! A very elegant and deep shade that gives a luxurious feel on a budget. The application brush is the same as on their other nail polishes, which I prefer since I am satisfied with my other products from them. I applied only one coat of the color and then step 2 top coat without any problems, but wow what shine it gives! I haven't used it long enough to fully review the durability, but it feels like it will hold up well without chipping for several days. It is really a great idea for a product if you can't afford or don't have the time to get your nails done at a salon but still want it to last and look just as nice. Unfortunately, I have short nails and shaky hands right now so my pictures don't do it justice, but I promise the color is super pretty in real life. I have wanted to test the product for a long time and am glad that I am finally doing it. Now I also have step 2 and will definitely buy more colors. 402 Jewels and Jacquard Only – I’m looking at you ;) *Note: The first picture is just with color and the second is with top coat.

Shade 5 Half Full
My first impression when I received the product was the stylish, classic Essie nail polish bottle and the color is so incredibly beautiful. It says “Glass Nails Glass-Effect Nail Polish” on it so you don’t confuse it with traditional nail polishes. It also lasts for 24 months after opening, which is good considering the price. It’s not like regular nail polishes, but should be more transparent in color to mimic the “glass nails” trend. However, you can definitely apply several thin layers if you prefer more coverage. It has a consistency that is a bit harder to work with, but it’s probably just me needing to get used to it. I chose to test with one layer first and then two layers so you can see how it looks. Since I have short nails right now, I think it looks much nicer with more layers. I haven’t used any base or top coat before or after application to see how it holds without. It’s been a day so far and it still looks good. I think it’s a bit harder to get it looking nice than traditional nail polishes, but it will be fun to get used to it and experiment when my nails are longer. Note! The pictures were taken right after I applied the nail polish. Picture 1 shows one layer and picture 2 shows two layers.

A new friend in the bag :)
Finally, I dare to let my nails grow longer! What a superb idea for a product! My first impression when I received the product was that it comes in a nice, small, and sleek packaging with a modern design. The product itself has a practical design, with a slimmer shape and is not too big, which makes it perfect to have in the bag or toiletry bag as a quick fix if you're not at home and want to save a nail. It's easy to hold and apply. The brush is not like regular nail polish; instead, it is smaller and more compact for better application and precision. Really a plus for me, as I usually have shaky hands. The scent is like regular nail polish, and the durability is 24 months after opening, which is very good for a product that you don't use as often. Therefore, it is really worth the price. I have long wanted long, beautiful, and natural nails but have struggled with it because I have weak nails. There's always one that breaks or chips, and then I cut all my nails short to start over because I don't want asymmetrical nails. I got tired of this problem and stopped trying to grow my nails out, but now I finally dare to start again! So far, I've only had time to test it on my pinky nail, which broke a little on the side, and it worked well with two layers. I love Essie products and have previously collected their nail polishes, so it will be fun to be a real nail girl again :) The review was conducted on behalf of Smartson - the test pilot was allowed to try the product for free.1 product in post A new friend in the bag :)112 views
