Editor Quote: "After using it for about two weeks, my dark spots got significantly lighter or faded away altogether for a more even-toned complexion, and my skin just looks more radiant and brighter overall. My skin's texture is also smoother, and my breakouts have subsided; my skin looks less congested in general." - AR

"Lion Pose's Ghost-Buster Sunscreen has one of the creamiest textures that makes you forget it's a mineral-based SPF. My skin type is pretty normal, and this mineral sunscreen does not dry it out whatsoever. It comes out as an orange-peach hue, and its tint blends into the skin, delivering a subtly dewy finish." - AR

Editor Quote: "The highly pigmented kajal eyeliners lasted all day on my lash line and waterline, with no unwanted bleeding or smudging. As a contact lens wearer, most eyeliners that I have used in the past often stained my contacts and, as a result, ruined them. I was so impressed that the Underlined Kajal Eyeliners did not get on my contacts at all." - AR

The scent is absolute perfection; I wish it could be made into a perfume. It was so familiar yet intoxicating and sensual with notes of warmth and florals." - AR
