Fenty Beauty Forays Into Skincare With Pro Kiss'r

Fenty Beauty Pro Kiss’r Scrub

The second addition to Fenty Beauty skincare products, Pro Kiss’r scrub comes in a lipstick format unlike most lip scrubs which come in small pots. This format ensures less mess and a more hygienic way of exfoliating your lips (no fingers dipping = less contamination). Instead of sugar, apricot seeds act as the main exfoliators. It’s lightweight, non-greasy, and fuss-free. Simply swipe back and forth and clean up with a tissue for soft, kissable lips.

With plenty of lip products such as the award-winning Gloss Bomb and Rihanna’s favourite Stunna Lip Paint in their arsenal, the lip prep duo is a good transition product from makeup into skincare. We can only imagine what comes next for Fenty Beauty and what other fun concoctions Rihanna’s cooking up for Fenty Skin. One thing’s for sure though: it will be worth the wait.

Formulation, Scent, and Application

To also cater to those with sensitive skin, Sunday Riley removed all but one of the essential oils in Ceramic Slip. Now, only neroli remains to complement the cleaning abilities if the pore-cleansing clay. The result is a silky, milky texture that’s quite runny. So be careful when squeezing out the product from the tube. The scent, meanwhile, is mild and earthy — good news for us who don’t like strong artificial fragrances.  

 

Although it claims to be foaming, the cleanser barely foams at all. To at least work up a really thin lather, you have to wet and massage your face a bit.  Because it’s incredibly viscous, the cap has a tendency to suck out some formula when you open it. To prevent this, give it a light tap before opening so you don’t waste the product.  

Sunday Riley Ceramic Slip Cleanser Review Results

Despite all my qualms about the formulation, I found that it actually does a good enough job of cleansing my skin. It effectively removed my makeup and left my skin feeling fresh and soft after each use. Unlike other cleansers, it doesn’t dry out my skin. Using it has made my skin less oily when I wake up in the morning. However, there’s no noticeable change with my pores like it promised. It also doesn’t help with my pimples when I have breakouts, but I’ve noticed they’ve at least become smaller as time went by.

 

Final thoughts

As mentioned, this review doesn't cover comparisons between the original and reformulated cleansers. But I can at least say that the Sunday Riley Ceramic Slip Cleanser delivers on the cleansing superbly. It's really gentle and perfect for sensitive skin types. Is it worth the money? Personally, no, but only because I’m the type who prefers cleansers that actually foam when used. But if you want a reliable basic cleanser, then here’s one you should try out.

The Sunday Riley Ceramic Slip Cleanser is available on Sephora.sg.

Dhivya on the Moisturizing Eye Bomb

“One of the issues I have with my skin is my dark undereye circles. So taking the belif Moisturizing Eye Bomb for a spin was a no-brainer. When I first used it, I expected the texture to be similar to the Aqua Bomb but I was surprised to find out that it was richer and thicker. Another happy surprise was that it smells amazing. And the application? Like a dream. I’ve used it at night and even in the mornings and it works well under makeup.

I didn’t use to wear eye creams religiously because I never found one that made positive effects. But the belif Moisturizing Eye Bomb made my undereyes feel plumper and less puffy. Perhaps it’s because it’s made with Comfrey Leaf that really moisturises the skin and Pennywort that supports anti-ageing. My dark circles are still visible but they’re less pronounced. I probably would have to use it for a bit more, but so far I’m liking what I see.”

Vicky on the Peat Miracle Revital Serum Concentrate

“I was first introduced to the belif Peat Miracle series by my friend who claimed that it helped calm her skin from irritation as well as balance the release of oil on her face. As I am approaching my late 20s, skin ageing has become my main concern. So I thought I’d give the Peat Miracle Revital Serum Concentrate a shot.

I’ve incorporated it into my daily skincare because it contains Peat extract that is known for preventing and reversing signs of ageing. The other key ingredient, Rhodiola root, is a multi-benefit ingredient that is high in antioxidant and protects skin against free radicals such as UV radiation and pollutants. After trying it out, I’d say the experience has been smooth sailing. I also like that it has a lightweight texture that is easily absorbed and I can layer on other products to complete my skincare regimen. I’m hoping this helps in improving my skin condition and freezing my skin age.”

Audy on the Hungarian Water Essence — Moisture Binder

“I have dry skin but an oily T-zone. Most of the time, I wake up with my face feeling taut. Essences are known to be great for giving the skin a surge of moisture and other skincare benefits so I started using the Hungarian Water Essence before I sleep and before I put on foundation or BB cream to start the day. What I like most about the product is the instant hydration to my skin. Plus, its non-sticky texture and fresh smell makes me feel light and refreshed.

I personally don’t always use essences or serums because most of them contain oils that usually lead to breakouts. I like that this doesn’t contain oil and instead contains a blend of Rosemary that’s hydrating and rich in antioxidants; Hungarian water that’s been known to be an effective anti-ageing ingredient since the 1370s; Gotu Kola that delays skin ageing and protects it; Jasmine Water that strengthens the skin barrier; Napiers Aqua Formula that moisturises the skin; and Napiers Original Formula that calms troubled skin. No breakouts for me!”

Laura on The True Tincture of Chamomile

“I have dull-looking, combination skin. I also have some blemishes from previous breakouts and my pores are quite visible. So something that will soothe and revitalise my skin is what I need. Enter the belif True Tincture of Chamomile, which is made with 93% pure organic Chamomile Tincture that promises to soothe and replenish the skin for a glowing and balanced complexion.

What I first noticed was it actually smells really good. The essence is light and I felt refreshed when I applied it on my skin. It is something I will definitely use day and at night because of its texture. I used it before applying makeup and it made it easier for the base to glide on and leave a smooth finish. Sans makeup, my face looks slightly brighter and I’m looking forward to continuing trying the product to see if it really improves my skin's condition. If you have dull-looking skin, this could be your life-saver!”
