    Unexpected applicator and moisturizing jelly gloss

    Jelly Job Lip Gloss in Jelly Blushin pleasantly surprised me right from the first use. The packaging looks like a classic squeeze tube at first glance, but it’s actually a foot applicator, which elicited a spontaneous “ooh” from both me and my friends when we saw it being used. The formula is thick, soft, and really jelly-like, just as the name suggests. It feels pleasant and moisturizing on the lips without being sticky. The color is nice and provides just the right amount of pigment along with a glass-like shine. For me, this is a well-balanced gloss that delivers both feel and finish.

    Nice color but lacking durability

    Lip Lingerie Liner Stain in Cuff Me has a very nice and usable shade that I really like. Unfortunately, the formula does not deliver to the same extent. The pencil feels dry already upon application and does not glide evenly over the lips. It dries quickly, making it harder to work with. I do not feel that it actually "stains" the lips to any greater degree. After a light meal, the color was left patchy, and throughout the day it disappears in parts rather than fading evenly. Already after four uses, the pencil feels drier, as if it is drying out. The review was conducted on behalf of Smartson - the test pilot was allowed to try the product for free.

    Coverage and durability but somewhat demanding

    The Mak'em Wonder Foundation in Fair Porcelain impresses when it comes to coverage and color matching. The shade blends well into my skin tone, and I experienced no oxidation throughout the day. The coverage is medium to high and effectively evens out the skin tone. However, the formula can feel somewhat cakey, especially on drier areas, and the matte finish easily highlights fine lines and texture. With richer hydration underneath and applying in thin layers, the result becomes significantly finer. A sponge works well but can lift previous layers if not worked with care. A good foundation, but better suited for normal to combination skin than dry. The review was conducted on behalf of Smartson - the test pilot was allowed to try the product for free.

    Maximum Grip, Pure Sustainability

    The Face Glue Primer is a product where the amount really matters. The first time I applied too much and found it to be drying, even though the grip ability was impressive. With a smaller amount, it works significantly better. It glides easily over the skin, dries quickly, and leaves a clearly sticky surface that makes foundation adhere properly and stay in place all day. However, it does not contribute to any visible evening out of texture or extra glow. This is a primer with a clear purpose, maximum durability, and it delivers on that.

    Strong hold but lacking spray function

    NYX The Face Glue Setting Spray provides a clear hold effect and lives up to its name when it comes to setting makeup. The base stays in place, and you really get a “glue” feeling, which can be positive if you want maximum stiffness. Unfortunately, the overall impression is brought down by the spray nozzle. The product does not distribute like a fine, even mist but comes out in larger drops, which I demonstrate in my video by spraying on white paper. On the skin, it feels somewhat heavy even after it has dried. It works, but the application and feeling make it not quite reach the top.

    Moisture Bomb

    CeraVe Advanced Repair Ointment reminds me in many ways of Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream. It has a thick, petroleum-like consistency and is very moisturizing. The product is intended for use on the face, lips, and body, but I found it too heavy for my face. Instead, I used it on my cracked lips overnight, and after just one night, they were noticeably better. After two nights, my lips were completely restored. I would recommend using this ointment on dry areas like elbows, knees, lips, or other spots that need extra moisture. I tested the product as a test pilot via Smartson and received a free test product.

    good alternatives

    CeraVe Hydrating Cream-To-Foam Cleanser is a good alternative for facial cleansing. The product is fragrance-free and has a simple ingredient list, which is appreciated, and gives a moisturizing feel on the skin. The packaging states that it can "remove makeup", but I did not find that it had any particularly better makeup removal effect compared to other cleansers. Therefore, I would recommend using a separate makeup remover or performing double cleansing to ensure that all makeup is removed.
