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 True Skin Primer, Foundation & Concealer

 Beauty Bag Dolls I have a triple review for you today! As promised a little while back I was on a search for the perfect new foundation. I did say I wanted a primer and concealer from the same brand since I have found that matching the brand works best for me for a while now. I searched for a while researching and trying to make the best choice for my skin type, I also wanted something on the clean beauty side, and I have found the Ilia True Skin Radiant Priming Serum, Ilia True Skin Serum Foundation and Ilia True Skin Serum Concealer. The price at Sephora and the Ilia website is for the Primer $54.00, the Foundation $52.00 and the Concealer is $30.00. 

These three amazing products from Ilia are a beauty bag must! Due note that the Foundation drops on February 8, 2022 at Sephora.com 


The Ilia True Radiant Priming Serum is great. It applies like a serum and dries in a minute. My skin feels soft and matte ready for makeup. This is a must have because it is a skincare primer which is rare in the makeup world. I struggle to find a good primer that doesn't break me out and this one is the winner! I did notice however an off smell to this one it can be a deal breaker on some days, I won't use it.

The Ilia True Skin Serum Concealer is amazing. It feels light on the skin yet gives you full coverage. I hide my dark circles easily, some blemishes as well. In fact, I felt when I removed my makeup after a few days of use it helped to heal my blemishes. It was a medium coverage and never ever felt heavy. I paired it with the Ilia primer and their foundation as well, so my combination skin never felt overly dry just a nice matte finish. That being said I will repurchase before I run out. I will try another shade because with concealers I like to have a few different shades on hand for when I am sunless tanning.

The Ilia True Skin Serum Foundation has great coverage. It feels light on the skin yet gives you full coverage. I hide my blemishes and even out my skin. In fact, it truly felt like nothing on my face, and I never had mid-day shine in my T-Zone. I paired it with the Ilia primer and their concealer as well, so my combination skin never felt overly dry just a nice matte finish. That being said I will repurchase before I run out. 

An additional note: I am a big fan of this brand since trying their mascara in fact it is my must have go to and I was thrilled to fall head over heals for this trio of products!

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!
