For the past week I\u2019ve been trying Fenty Skin by Rihanna, specifically the Total Cleans\u2019r, Fat Water, and Hydra Vizor. \u00a0While I\u2019m not the biggest Rihanna fan aka \u201cNavy\u201d, I must admit I\u2019m loving this trio as much as my long-standing beloved Origins routine. \u00a0My Fenty Skin<\/a> Start\u2019r Set was a Sephora gift as part of my online purchase. \u00a0I have combination sensitive skin with oiliness around the T-zone with discolorations in some areas like mild under eye darkness especially when I\u2019m not well rested. \u00a0Keep in mind that it\u2019s currently late winter where I am though it has been a temperate one when compared to previous years. \u00a0Here are my impressions of each of these products:<\/p>\n

Total Cleans\u2019r: I normally use two small drops on my Makeup Eraser<\/a>. \u00a0On a tangential note, I love this makeup wipe\/cloth and will share about my experience on the next post. \u00a0It becomes white and foamy spread along my Makeup Eraser and doesn\u2019t have much of a scent. \u00a0I find that it does an excellent job cleaning my face without my skin feeling overly tight or dry.<\/p>\n

Fat Water: I\u2019m not sure about the name. \u00a0Maybe they were going more for Phat Water? \u00a0However, it\u2019s a nice serum or thick water consistency that\u2019s not quite gel with a mild scent, if even. \u00a0I love this more than Origins\u2019 runny formula of Mega Mushroom Relief\u2019s hydrating toner even though I love MMR as well. \u00a0As an aside, I might pour it into a misting bottle instead? \u00a0I follow Fat Water with Fenty Skin\u2019s moisturizer.<\/p>\n

Hydra Vizor: It\u2019s a peachy pink light moisturizer with a scent similar to L\u2019Occitane\u2019s anti-aging line, Immortelle. \u00a0I don\u2019t mind a pleasant sweet floral scent like this one but if you do, you might want to sample Hydra Vizor before purchasing or skip it if you are extremely scent sensitive. \u00a0Actually, since skincare can be an expensive investment, I\u2019ll always suggest sampling anything at least a few times if you can before buying a full-size product. \u00a0Any extra dollops of moisturizer, I normally work into the tops of my dry hands. \u00a0I love Hydra Vizor because it reminds me of Immortelle and that it leaves my skin looking dewy, nicely moisturized without the heaviness that some moisturizers are known for :).<\/p>\n

I was overall impressed by Fenty Skin because not all cosmetic lines, in this case Fenty Beauty, make great skin care but I can attest that Fenty Beauty does. \u00a0I am very particular with the skin care products I choose to use but highly recommend this set unless you have problematic skin which needs medicated products for better results. \u00a0I also love that the company wanted to make a product that was clean & earth conscious and that Rihanna seemingly uses her own products. \u00a0I\u2019m not a fan of celebrities solely doing promotions and not actually using their own products. \u00a0Admittedly, I have to do further research on whether these products are vegan, cruelty-free, etc. \u00a0The range of prices for the full-sized bottles of all three aforementioned products do seem comparable to most brands, $26.00 to $38.00 USD. \u00a0Please see the attached photos.<\/p>\n
