Ilia Sun Serum Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 w/ 8 Hour Oil Control

Happy Monday Beauty Bag Doll's! I am back with another Beauty launch from Ilia! I adore this brand because they get it right! The just launched the Ilia Sun Serum Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 with 8 Hour Oil Control. I have had the privilege of trying this out thanks to PINCHme and Ilia Beauty for sending it out to me to try out for a few weeks before leaving my review for both Ilia and Sephora. It retails for $ 40.00 and is clean at Sephora. 

Very lightweight and absorbs beautiful tint.

Grab this ASAP it's the best sunscreen that is actually a serum!


My review is below:

Ilia made the perfect sunscreen. As an oily skin woman finding a sunscreen that doesn't look and feel greasy is difficult until now. The serum texture that this has is lightweight and absorbs into my skin like skincare. The tint is beautiful and this leaves no whitecast. It can be worn alone because of the beautiful glow it leaves or under makeup. I am in awe with this formula and the performance. Ilia you have made sunscreen a dream. 

The perfect sunscreen all year round.


This is a beauty Bag must haves and another product I will always  repurchase from Ilia.

Ilia Skin Blur Serum Concealer & Super Serum Skin Tint

Beauty Bag Doll's I have a double feature for you today. I have been testing several products over the past 6 weeks and these two from Ilia were included. This is part of the reason why my posts for all of you have been on the slower side. I am lucky enough to receive products before they are released to the public and I have to keep them a secret all while testing them out for several weeks to give you, my Beauty Bag Doll's a real honest review. Today I have a full review of the new launch of the Ilia Skin Blur Serum Concealer and a review of a new to me Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint Broad Spectrum SPF 40 Sunscreen. I was blessed to receive these both for free from PINCHme and Ilia in exchange for my honest review. 

A pair that is made for one another and my skin loves it.


Ilia dropped a new concealer and I am beyond impressed and I am a fan of the previous formula so I was taken aback when they decided to release the Skin Blur Serum Concealer. This is sold at Sephora, it is $32.00 and is packed with good for you ingredients.
I didn't think I could love a long wear concealer this much!


My experience with this Ilia concealer is nothing but positive. I have not stopped wearing it since it arrived. The formula is hydrating yet it self sets. It is all skin type friendly. Even my combination acne prone skin is happy. It covers my dark circles and any imperfections that I have. It does not crease which to me is worth it weight in gold. I do not have the crease lines in my around my eyes after 8 plus hours of wear. The applicator is worth noting because the shape get in the corner of your eyes. I also want to mention this feels more like skincare than a heavy concealer yet it is a medium coverage. There is no smell to this formula and your skin will love it.

Along with trying the brand nee Ilia concealer I got to try the Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint Broad Spectrum SPF 40 Sunscreen. I am an avid user of the Ilia Foundation and I have been using it since 2022 read that review here. However when given the opportunity to try the Super Serum Skin Tint I said yes sign me up. This is again packed with skincare ingredients like plant based squalane and niacinamide to promote smooth and even skin. Two sizes of hyaluronic acid to soften the look of fine lines and wrinkles. All while being oil free, fragrance free and silicone free. I am all for this formula as well as SPF 40. This is also available at Sephora for  $48.00. Read on for my review.
This is a beautiful skincare formula for skin tint coverage!



This truly the best of both worlds. I don't know how Ilia did it but they packed skincare and a beautiful lightweight buildable medium coverage in a hydrating skin tint. I use this every single day. The coverage is beautiful and it blends perfectly with just your fingers. It is a dewy formula that gives your skin that beautiful glow and I am beyond happy. This is the best skin tint I have ever used the added SPF makes it even better along with antiaging skincare makes this a slam dunk. I am only going to purchasing this skin tint from here on out. Pair it with the Ilia concealer and you will get full coverage for the full beat baddie. 

These are both beauty Bag must haves and two more products I will always  repurchase from Ilia.

Ilia Fullest Volumizing Mascara

 Beauty Bag Dolls I have been testing out a brand new mascara from Ilia for well over a month now. I had to keep it top secret since it is brand new to the Ilia line and they sent it to me via Pinchme in exchange for my honest review and you can sign up for pinchme as well. If you sign up and fill out surveys from time to time they may match you with your very own beauty product. I have been testing out another mascara earlier this summer from PUR that review is here. I did enjoy the PUR mascara however that was not until I tried the Ilia Fullest Voluminzg Mascara did I understand what clean mascara can be. These past few months I have been on a search for the best mascaras and I now have found one that is a clean brand and it actually performs so well even in heat and humidity (where as PUR did not perform well when the humidity came into play). Below I will leave you back round information on the Illia Fullest Volmuzing Mascara as well as the review I had left for Pinchme. Remember this is going to debut on Sephora's website on August 4, 2021 and costs $28.00.

 Illia Fullest Volumizing Mascara is my absolute favorite mascara! 


Information from Ilia:  Illia Fullest Volumizing Mascara wraps each lash in fullness, thickness, and volume with a smudge-free, flake-free formula that washes off easily at the end of the day. Built-in haircare actives help to nourish and fortify lashes with each swipe.

What it is: A clean volumizing mascara that wraps each lash in weightless, buildable volume without flaking, smudging, or irritating even the most sensitive eyes.     

What it does: The violin-shaped brush thickens and defines lashes from root to tip with fluffy, flexible fullness you can’t miss. Active levels of haircare ingredients promote stronger, healthier-looking lashes with every coat. Smudge-free, flake-free, and safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.             

Key Ingredients:

- Arginine: Supports stronger, healthier-looking lashes

- Provitamin B5: Nourishes to promote thicker-looking lashes

- Weightless Wax Blend: Adds full, flexible body without the weight

My review that I left for Pinchme, Sephora and Illia's websites:

The Ilia Fullest Volumizing Mascara is perfection. I have been using this for well over a month since the day it arrived and I have never looked back. I had been on mission to find the perfect mascara after struggling with the one that I thought was good but now with Illia Fullest Volume I think my search for a good clean mascara has come to an end. This one glides on perfectly grabbing every lash and bumping up the volume to a twelve and I am beyond impressed. It never flaked, smudged or smeared like other clean beauty mascaras. It lasted all day and I mean a 16 hour day without any issues and never irritated my eyes. The applicator brush found every tiny lash and made it count. everyone needs this mascara is their makeup routine because it is good for your lashes. I never lost one while wearing it or when removing it after a long day in fact my lashes are healthier a month later then when they started. Also it never smudged like other clean mascaras in heat and humidity. I have tossed my previous clean mascara to the side and I am going to repurchase two of these to always have one and an back up!

Verb Dry Shampoo For Light Hair

Verb is a haircare brand and I was lucky enough to try out a full size product via pinchme.com in exchange for my honest review. I will attach the review I left for Verb.com and Sephora.com via my pinchme.com links. I am of course always honest and this to me is a keeper for $18.00 the results are good. Read on to read the review I left. 


The review I left for Pinchme.com for Verb Dry Shampoo For Light Hair below:

I am so happy for the Verb Dry Shampoo for Light Hair because its for not only my hair type but for my hair color. It is refreshing and effective at giving my hair that extra volume it looses around 1pm and if I am on day two hair it really refreshes it.

The Inkey List Hyaluronic Acid Face Serum

Hello to all of my Beauty Bag Dolls and Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and a beautiful New Year! I am back after stepping away from posting blogs, not to worry I have been testing products and note taking as always however right before the holidays and through my Birthday in January I had to take time to spend time with family and celebrate as well as I recently got promoted at work which meant more work and responsibility which I had to take time to adjust my schedule! I am not excusing my recent absence from my blog posting just letting you know why I had lagged behind. But do note I was updating on Twitter and Instagram with my usual skincare, makeup, nailcare, lip care and hair care must haves as well as gift ideas and giveaways, which is why it is important to follow me on all social media platforms including Instagram and Twitter!

Now onto my review of the newest must have The Inkey List Hyaluronic Acid Face Serum. This was sent to me late last month via Pinchme.com  I have mentioned Pinchme to you a few times before on my blog. This is a program where you sign up and each month on a particular Tuesday at noon you log onto your account and see what samples are available for you to add to your basket and checkout with. All free of charge in exchange for your honest review. From time to time you get chosen for exclusive trials like I did for the, The Inky List Hyaluronic Acid Face Serum. All I have to do is try this for a week or so and when the survey opens up on my Pinchme account I follow instructions. With this particular sample of the, The Inkey List Hyaluronic Acid Face Serum I am to leave my honest review on Sephora.com where the, The Inkey List Hyaluronic Acid Face Serum is sold. Below will be exact review I left on Sephora.com. Do note it is my complete and honest review using the Sephora reviews guidelines.

The Inkey List Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Serum beyond impressed me. My skin was feeling dry and dull and I have been looking for that something extra this winter that would help with hydration and with fine lines. Thankfully this came into my life because it has hydrated and plumped my skin. I saw results in just two days and after two weeks I had a reduction of fine lines and wrinkles. I followed this serum with moisturizer and I never looked back. The price point is beyond impressive! My only negative is the packaging is odd and can cause you to use too much but you get used to it after a few uses so its not a deal breaker.

Lancer Clarifying Detox Mask w/ Green Tea Acne Treatment Mask

Hello to all of my wonderful beauty bag dolls. I am happy to be back blogging and I am so sorry for the delay. I have had a job situation that has kept me so busy and away from posting my blogs however I am back and I never really stopped. I have been testing out an assortment of products and taking my notes and getting ready to share my thoughts with you. First up for this months I received a new mask from Lancer and it is perfect for me! It is the Lancer Clarifying Detox Mask w/ Green Tea + 3% Sulfur Acne Treatment Mask. I received a full size of this mask from a program called Pinchme. Pinchme.com gives free product samples monthly to it members on a predetermined Tuesday at noon. All you do is log in fill your basket give them your address and check out. The products you get are yours to try out and leave an honest review where they tell you too. Its so simple.

I also chose to share a photo on Instagram and I am sharing it with all of you on my blog. I will attach my review that I left on Sephora.com here on my blog.

This is my honest review from Sephora.com  This mask is everything to me. As a person with acne prone oily skin I am always using a different mask to help combat or prevent breakouts. I have been using the Lancer Clarifying Detox Mask with Green Tea + 3% Sulfur for just shy under a month and WOW, I am impressed. As directed you can use it 3 times a week as a full face mask or on particular areas that are oily or acne prone. When it arrived my skin was doing well so I used it all over 3 times a week and my skin was doing well. My pores were not congested and looked better than ever. I also noticed a great improvement in the redness in my cheeks. I recently had a bit of a breakout and panicked because it was before a meeting at work were I needed to present. I immediately grabbed the Lancer Detox Mask and spotted it along my jaw line and T-Zone were the breakout was beginning. I did this on a Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday and by Friday when my meeting was happening my pimples were gone. They had appeared to dry up and just disappear. I have never got rid of my pimples in under just 3 or 4 days until now. It helped with the pain, redness and just impressed me! I highly recommend the Lancer Detox Mask with Green Tea + 3% Sulfur and I have sensitive skin and had no issues with burning or stinging.
