Glass Skin in a bottle

I have dipped my toe into chemical exfoliants here and there but I rarely saw a noticeable difference. In my opinion, I feel that this product not only gives results right away but also gives the most long lasting effects after usage. I have pretty dry skiing the winter and this helped my skin remain smooth and without any flaky or dry patches. This product also help to maintain any hormonal breakouts at bay. I think that if you’re looking to slowly implement a chemical exfoliant to your routine, then this is a no brainer, as it does its job gently and subtly without over-treating your skin. Lastly, the packaging is just gorgeous, and I have to admit I gravitate to use it simply because of the mesmerizing bottle. A must have!

The BEST dry shampoo EVER

I am not a huge fan of dry shampoo as I have never been able to fully one that leaves little to NO white cast. However, the search for that ended when I picked up a can of this VERB dry shampoo. The formula dries brown and for someone with dark hair like myself gives the perfect illusion of low lights and gives my hair some dimension. The product absorbs the perfect amount of oil and leaves a clean feeling on the scalp. I saw very little to no buildup which is perfect since dry shampoo can be a bit abrasive on your scalp. Lastly, the mark of a great dry shampoo is the scent and I was able to research that the notes you’re smelling are oatmeal and grapefruit. While these may seem like an odd pair, I can confirm that the gentle scent gives notes of a soothing chamomile. This product sells outs quickly, so if you see it, grab a can!

Cooling, refreshing, and smoothing 💨💨💨

I am personally a HUGE fan of the Atoderm Intensive Balm and the Atoderm Cream from Bioderma, so I was super excited to try the new formula. This formula for me is the best development yet from their brand. As someone who struggles with eczema on and off during the harsh winter months, this was super helpful in combating my symptoms. This gel formula is not only cooling but its SKIN BARRIER THERAPY penetrates quickly for quick relief. I also enjoy that this is scent free and perfect for the whole family. Lastly, the best part about this lotion is how fast it starts working. My eczema flareups can last anywhere between 2-3 weeks, but as soon as I start using this lotion I get immediately moisture and relief. If you hate the feeling of lotion on your skin don’t hesitate to try this, I just know you’ll fall in love.

The most innovative concealer yet!

This concealer is by far the most thoughtfully developed product in the market. This concealer comes with a cooling applicator that is meant to help de-puff the under eye area. Not only does it help de-puff the under eye area, but the coverage of this concealer is just divine. The formula for this is perfect for the under eye area as it offers a luminous finish which helps give your under eye area an overall brightening effect. Personally, my current foundation match is MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Skin Undetectable Longwear Foundation in the shade 2N26 Sand, and I picked shade 8 Cappuccino. So, if you a brightening concealer with buildable coverage, this new product will easily become your new favorite concealer.

Glossy and Soft

Full disclosure I no longer color treat my hair, so I can't attest to the no-color fade technology. However, I love this new hair rinse and can see it becoming my new favorite. Think of this as a gentler version of their famous ACV Acid Wash rinse. It suds just enough to get your scalp feeling clean while not over-stripping your hair. I would strongly suggest this for those who've recently colored their hair but struggle with their scalp adjusting or need a pick-me-up in between washes.

Lastly, the scent is to die for! While R+Co is known for its fragrances, they outdid themselves with this particular profile. Think sweet peaches with a slight hint of Lychee! Certainly a must for those who love our in-between wash rinse! 💁🏽‍♀️

So fresh and so clean 🧼🧼🧼

As a fan of the ever-so-famous double-cleanse, I always follow up my oil or balm cleanser with a hydrating cleanser to further remove any leftover makeup or sunscreen. Now the real reason I rave about this fantastic cleanser is how clean my face feels without any of the tightness or dryness that you would get from a cleanser that does the job this well.

To me, this seems to be the answer for anyone with sensitive skin, dry skin, or any skin type, as it does a fantastic job of not over stripping the skin while still providing a deep cleanse. This cleanser also has no scent or added fragrance which is always a plus in any of your skincare steps.

Lastly, the ingredients are just so unique, which makes this cleanser a no-brainer. By far, my favorite ingredient in this cleanser is the Tremella Mushroom. After much googling and many youtube videos, I've realized that this helps this super ingredient helps to enhance the skin's elasticity and helps to plump & smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. This is unique as you do not see a lot of cleansers with this ingredient. Overall this gets an A+ from me, and I can see myself having this product on many future orders!

Perfect hair after 1 use! 😱

I tend to sway away from products that promise you anything labeled as "perfect" or "miracle" but R+Co made no exaggeration with their claims when it comes to this mask. I typically opt for a mask over conditioner as I've got curly hair and desire all the hydration I can get into my hair.

After one use I came to find that I needed no product, and as I let my hair air dry I noticed perfect definition in my curls and an undeniable shine. This mask is jam-packed with 4 oils and 1 butter that make this particular product nourishing and softening. Lastly, the scent of this is absolutely amazing and covers your hair in a mysterious haze that will have you smelling good all day long.

Sweet relief in a bottle 💕

Cold windy days really cause grief on my scalp and as it gets colder where I live I seem to have developed quite the itchy scalp. Even after washing my hair, I felt a specific tightness all over the scalp that just could not be relieved. While pricey, I personally feel like there's nothing in the market that quite does what the Clarifying Scalp Serum does.

This serum helps to relieve the scalp and immediately offers relief for anyone who has been suffering from flakes. After one use I felt that my scalp was itch-free and more importantly my hair felt incredibly soft. This particular formula contains a micellar water base so as the name suggests it softly cleanses the scalp while offering exfoliating properties.

I tend to apply this treatment all over my roots, and softy massage the product in, or if you prefer, you're welcome to comb the product through. I will usually then add my favorite pre-wash treatment (I suggest the Briogeo Don't Despair Repair Megastrength Rice Water Protein + Moisture Strengthening Treatment) and leave it on for 20-30 minutes. After rinsing you'll feel your hair feel healthier but your scalp will be relieved of any irritation. So if you're considering treating yourself, look no further than this 🤩

Cashmere soft hair in one use 💕💕

I love a good hydrating mask and while you expect to see results over a few uses, this mask provided immediate results. My hair was luscious and extremely soft right after I rinsed this out. I was shocked as I followed up with the Ghost Oil and my curls felt perfectly defined and had absolutely no frizz, without needing to add any other product.

Additionally, per VERB's recommendation, I added 2 pumps to this mask and left it overnight (please make sure you add a shower cap and put a towel down on your pillowcase) and had the most amazing results, and would suggest it to anyone who has super dry hair or those who recently chemically their hair.

Ultimate Glow-getter

Finding the perfect sunscreen is a journey that for some of us becomes a lifelong search. Wait no more, and find the ultimate sun protection in this goodie. This sunscreen helps to protect your skin while almost giving you a glass-like finish. This product also gives you a subtle pore blurring effect that makes it perfect to wear under makeup or on its own.

HOWEVER, the number one reason that this stays as my holy grail skincare fave, is the lack of a white-cast. You've got nothing to fear if you have this on hand, as it will blend beautifully onto any skin tone regardless of your undertone. Run don't walk, and pick up a tube as I'm sure you'll fall in love too.

Ps. a great re-application tip is to take a couple of dots of this product with your favorite sponge and since it basically dries on clear it won't move or bunch your makeup!
