- Hi, guys, welcome back to Adore Beauty's YouTube channel.
My name is Sadaf and I'm a content producer at Adore.
So recently, I did a video with Amy
on our top Beauty IQ picks.
I'm lucky enough to try so many products every month,
every week for the articles that we bring you guys.
So I thought why not do some more?
Today I've got five products that I've recently
wrote about in the latest Beauty IQ articles.
So I really wanted to share them
with you, because I really love them
and I know you guys will, as well.
So the first one is The Ordinary Serum Foundation.
So this is for a skin tint
or serum foundation story I did here.
All four of the ones I did for this story were amazing.
So you're gonna have to go to the story to check out
the other two I won't be talking about today,
but this one is $12.70.
I love it for the days that I just want light coverage.
It's buildable so I do put two layers on,
but it still just gives me that glowy, satiny finish.
It's just good for the days
that I want really natural coverage.
Also, it comes in a pump so it's mess and fuss-free
and it comes in yellow, red and neutral undertones.
Basically, see how it just seamlessly blends into the skin.
Look at that glowy.
- [Producer] Was there anything that you didn't like
about it or like any other- - No, actually,
I was obsessed with this.
The only thing I didn't like was that one layer's
not enough, you really need to build on it.
So if you're looking for full coverage,
this is probably not the best for you,
but if you want really natural, beautiful finish
and you're happy to build, then this is perfect for you.
Okay, so the next one is the Eye Of Horus Serum Foundation.
So for the same story.
Basically, serum foundations are makeup and skincare
hybrid product so they're usually weightless
and they deliver a natural finish
and they're often glowy and dewy,
but again, if you want something more mattifying,
go back and check out my skin tint story
and there's two there that are a bit more mattifying.
This one is on the pricier side, I think it's $75,
but it's formulated with a blend of seven oils.
They're gorgeous. I have normal to oily skin.
I have oily T-zone and I still loved it.
It gives a really flawless finish.
I'm actually wearing it today so you guys can see.
- [Producer] Loving it.
- Love it. - [Producer] You look great.
- Thank you. You look great.
- [Producer] Aww, stop it. (Sadaf laughing)
- So this doesn't come in a pump,
so just be careful that you're not wearing white.
Watery, has a more watery texture,
but I don't know if you can see,
I'm doing this blindly, by the way,
I don't have the mirror,
but even when you walk out in the day,
it just delivers a really luminous finish.
Can see you that all? - Glowy.
- Glowy, I love glowy, dewy, anything
that's just gonna give me really dewy skin.
It's cruelty free. Australian-made.
This is also water resistant and I did put this to the test.
Popped it on the morning and then I walked out
in the rain, took my dog for a walk,
my makeup was still intact.
That's no lie. I have photo evidence.
So you guys might have heard the buzz
that CeraVe has landed at Adore Beauty.
Amy was kind enough to give me the launch article here
and we highlighted our favourite CeraVe products.
So I'm gonna take you through two of them.
The first one is the Hydrating Foaming Oil Cleanser.
So usually, when I double cleanse,
I then follow up with a toner and a cotton round
and I still get a lot of makeup on the cotton round.
I put this to the test and just used this.
It did a stellar job at taking off all my makeup
and breaking it all down and then I just followed up
with the toner and there was hardly any makeup
or debris left on my cotton round.
It does turn into a gentle foam,
but it doesn't feel stripping or tight afterwards,
which a lot of cleansers can leave your skin feeling.
This is really, really great.
It also has, now I'm gonna have to read this
so I don't pronounce it incorrectly,
triglycerides and plant-derived squalane oils.
So those are both really good skin replenishing ingredients.
And it's, hold on, it's $21.99
for a big- - For a big-ass bottle.
- It is so good and this actually lasts me ages.
This is my new go-to daily cleanser.
Started using CeraVe for the last, maybe, a few years ago
and I'm a devotee for life.
So please go check out that article,
'cause you will not be disappointed.
Once you try a cult CeraVe product,
you will never look back.
I guarantee you, mark my words.
Speaking of CeraVe, again, the other one
is the CeraVe Moisturising Lotion.
This is loved by a lot of people.
Now, I wouldn't usually share some of the photos
in my phone of my scaly, dry legs,
but I'm gonna pull them out for you and pop them here
so you can see what my legs looked like
before this came into my life.
They were dry and scaly and I have tried
so many different brands.
They would work for a few hours,
but then by the end of the day,
they would be dry and scaly and flaky again.
And since I've been using this for the past couple of years,
nothing has transformed my dry skin more than this.
Again, all CeraVe products are formulated
with ceramides so they're really hydrating
and the technology in this make sure
that hydration lasts 24 hours,
and it is really true to it's word,
you will see and again, so, so affordable.
$15.99 for this big baby. So good.
And I've actually gotten so many people onto this.
My brother who literally wants the most simplified
beauty routine on the planet has said
that nothing has helped his dry skin more than this.
It's also formulated with dermatologists,
as I'm sure you guys know now.
And if you guys wanna know more about CeraVe's
hero ingredients, ceramides, and CeraVe products,
Joanna did an amazing video and you can check it out here.
The last one I'm gonna talk
to you guys about is the fanciest.
So this is the Lancôme Renergie.
Sorry, some French person just really cringed
out there, I'm so sorry. (chuckles)
So the reason why this serum is a big deal
is because it's formulated with three powerful ingredients
that are usually incompatible.
Those are hyaluronic acid, which plumps and hydrate skin,
then you've got your niacinamide, which evens out skin
and brightens the skin, makes it more clear,
and then ferulic acid, which helps skin
defend against free radicals.
I wrote about this for this article.
I have tried another Lancôme serum, which was lovely,
but I did see a change in my skin
after five days of using this.
After four days, my skin looked more dewy and luminous
and after day five, I woke up with glowy skin.
And when I popped makeup on,
makeup just went on so beautifully
and it just revealed a really radiant complexion.
Basically, in this casing, there's three separate chambers
and each of those ingredients is housed in one of those.
How cool is that? They don't hang out in there.
They hang out at the top so when you pump it out,
they unite at the top. (producer chuckles)
It's beautiful.
So instead of buying three separate products,
if you just want three-in-one just to help
with healthy looking skin,
this is definitely a splurge worth looking into.
Okay, so those are my five products.
