What Is It?

The LoveShine Plumping Lip Oil Gloss is YSL’s answer to those of us who love the feel of a lightweight, hydrating oil but still want that ultra-glossy, fuller-lip effect. It’s infused with skin-loving ingredients like hyaluronic acid for moisture, peppermint oil for a subtle plumping sensation, and antioxidant-rich vitamin E to help condition and protect.

The formula is non-sticky (hallelujah!) and glides on like silk. The finish is glossy without looking overdone — think fresh, juicy, and effortlessly polished. Plus, it has that signature YSL click applicator and sleek, gold-capped packaging that makes applying it feel like a little luxury moment in itself.

The Shades

It comes in a handful of flattering shades, from sheer, glowy neutrals to softly tinted pinks and berries. I picked up a few shades, but my go-tos are Shade 44 Nude Lavalliere, a delicate nude with the perfect amount of warmth, and Shade 7 Strawberry Star, a rosy flush that’s ideal for brightening up my makeup-free days.

My Review After a Week of Use

I’ve been wearing these nonstop for about a week now and I’m genuinely impressed. The texture is beautifully lightweight and never tacky, and the subtle plumping effect is more of a cooling tingle than a sting (no uncomfortable burning here). My lips feel soft and hydrated even after the gloss wears off, which is a win on its own.

I also love how versatile it is. Swipe it on alone for a natural, juicy lip or layer it over lipstick for a glassy finish. The colour payoff is sheer but buildable, giving your lips that healthy, lit-from-within glow.

Final Thoughts

If you love high-shine, hydrating glosses that double as lip care, the YSL LoveShine Plumping Lip Oil Gloss is one to try. Chic, comfortable, and surprisingly nourishing — it’s earned a permanent spot in my handbag.

I recently reviewed the brand's new alcohol-free scent. Check out my review here. For the summer this year, I am having fun with the three shades of Lash Clash Mascara (review here) and the new Liquid Blush (review here).

What It Does

This ultra-fine mist acts like an invisible shield for your hair, offering protection against UV rays, pollution, heat damage, and environmental aggressors. It’s designed to preserve hair colour, prevent dryness, and maintain hair’s natural shine and softness. Whether you’re at the beach, walking through the city, or blow-drying at home.

The formula is enriched with plant-based active ingredients like sunflower seed extract and camellia oil. Which help to nourish, hydrate, and strengthen the hair fibre. There’s also a touch of vitamin E, known for its antioxidant properties, that works to defend against free radicals and oxidative stress.

Texture & Application

What I love about this mist is how weightless and non-greasy it feels. Many protective sprays can leave hair feeling sticky or coated, but this one disappears into the strands without a trace. The scent is subtle, fresh, and sophisticated — very much in line with Sisley’s signature clean, botanical fragrance style.

I’ve been spritzing it through damp hair before styling or on dry hair before heading outdoors, and it leaves my strands feeling soft, smooth, and much more manageable. It also adds a natural, healthy-looking sheen without any heaviness.

Why It’s Worth It

If you’re someone who colour-treats your hair, uses heat tools, or spends a lot of time in the sun, Hair Rituel Protective Shield Mist is a must. It not only defends against damage but also keeps your hair looking and feeling its best throughout the day. The fact that it hydrates and adds shine is just an added bonus. The new Brush Radiance in pocket size from the brand is my go-to for everyday, and I always have it with me in my bag.

Final Thoughts

This new launch from Hair Rituel by Sisley Paris is everything I want in a hair protectant: lightweight, effective, and beautifully formulated. It’s now a permanent fixture in my haircare routine — and I honestly don’t know how I managed without it.

My go-to powerful duo to Densify and Fortify hair for haircare includes the shampoo and serum (detailed review of the duo here). Another favourite is the Hair Rituel By Sisley Paris Volumizing Spray (review here).

The Firming Body Oil

Rich in skincare actives, this light and nonsticky oil is perfect for nourishing and perfumed skin. Omorovicza created this oil to invigorate and boost the skin's natural defenses. One of the things I love about the firming body oil is its luxurious texture. The oil instantly penetrates the skin, leaving a smooth touch and natural glow, making you feel pampered and indulged.

For Who?

The firming body oil is a versatile solution suitable for all skin types, including dehydrated ones. Its decisive firming action helps preserve youthful and flexible skin. A friend recommended it to prevent stretch marks, showcasing its wide range of benefits.

The key benefits I have noticed using this oil are:

• Tones the skin
• Deep moisturizing action
• Prevents and reduces stretch marks.

The key ingredients inside this firming body oil are:

• Sweet almond oil: It is rich in Vitamin E, and it rehydrates and nourishes the skin.
• Vitamin E: Promotes collagen production and protects against free radicals.
• Essential oils: A blend of Sage, chamomile, rosemary, rose, and geranium helps balance and soothe the mind.

Tips For Incorporating Firming Body Oil Into Your Skincare Routine

Here are a few of my top tips to get the most out of your Omorovicza oil:

• If you have dry skin but dislike oil textures, add the oil to your lotion or cream upon application. This allows you to enjoy the product's benefits without the oil texture.
• Self-massage: If you struggle with heavy legs, cramps, or stress, massaging the Omorovicza oil into your skin can help relax, destress, and soothe your mind.

My Review

Adding the Omorovicza body oil to my weekly body care routine has been my best choice for a long time. The oil helps nourish dry, dehydrated skin. Not only does my skin feel much better and more comfortable, but it also looks way healthier with a natural shine and even texture. I recommend this oil to those who like scented products or aromatic oils such as Clarins.

I apply the oil daily (my favourite here) and combine it twice weekly with the body serum (full review here).
