Kosas Cosmetics review

Plump & Juicy Spray-On Serum

The Kosas Plump and Juicy Vegan Collagen Spray-on Serum is a hydrating facial mist for dry or dehydrated skin. This product is great for makeup lovers looking for a dewy or glowy look, as opposed to matte finishes. The facial mist isn’t meant to set makeup, but it’s a great step in your routine for creating a hydrated base before applying foundation, cc cream, and primer.

I also use this product to wet my beauty sponge before blending cream products to get a glowy look. The formula includes vegan and cruelty-free collagen, peptides, and plant-based probiotics. Overall, I really loved this product from Kosas and think that it’s a must have for any makeup lovers that want versatile skincare-forward product to wet sponges and get a dewy finish.

Grow Potion Fluffy Brow + Lash Boosting Serum

The Kosas Brow and Lash Gel pills and leaves an annoying residue on your face. It's supposed to be a natural way to get full fluffy lashes by conditioning and hydrating the hair follicle. It's meant create lushness and reduce fallout of the brows and lashes. Unfortunately, the pilling is super annoying. Each morning after I woke up, I would have an annoying residue from the formula around my eyelids, brows, and pillow. The formula was getting gloppy around the applicator as well.

The formula is haircare powered and uses a trio of peptides, vegan keratin, vitamin B5, and hyaluronic acid to promote length and volume. I love that the gel formula is clear and thin, not thick or gloppy upon application. It doesn’t burn or sting the eyes during application and dries quickly. The recommended time to use the product was 12 weeks, but I only used this for 2 before I was annoyed with how the formula dried.

Hotliner Hyaluronic Acid Contouring Lip Liner

I received Kosas Hotliner in the color Wow, a warm toasty red shade. I love that this product is super creamy and hydrating. The lightweight formula is nourishing and doesn’t leave the lips feeling dried out or peeling.

I love that this product is multipurpose and can be used as a liner or as a full lip color. The pigment is rich and has great color payoff without the need for reapplication. It isn’t waterproof, but it does have a bit of transfer resistance, so the loss of pigment after transfer isn’t noticeable. Love that this product is buildable and has a lot of smudge resistance.

This product’s star ingredients are Hyaluronic Acid, for hydration & plumping, Konjac Root, a protective water-soluble moisturizing agent, and Jojoba Oil, for soothing.

Plump & Juicy Lip Booster Buttery Lip Treatment

The Kosas Plump + Juicy Lip Collagen Booster is a day & night lip plumper treatment great for replenishing hydration back into the lips. This product is so buttery and hydrating! I carry this with me EVERYWHERE. This product is so multifaceted. Not only can you use it to prep your lips but also on its own.

It adds perfect shine and a juicy boost that’s perfect for no makeup days. I love that this isn’t tacky and glides on like a dream. I received the best results after a lip scrub. I add the butter gloss at the beginning of my makeup routine and then wipe it off right before adding my lip liner and lipstick. Other highlights about this product are that it includes peptides, hyaluronic acid, concentrated fatty acids, jojoba oil, and pomegranate flower extract.

Aside from this lovely product, I’m also in love with the Kosas brand that focuses on product offerings that are dermatologist tested.

Wet Lip Oil Plumping Treatment Gloss

I received the Kosas Wet Lip Oil/Gloss in the color Unzipped, a milky pink champagne shade. I love the dual-purpose of this product because it can be used as both a treatment on its own & a gloss. The color is sheer and glittery enough to be a top gloss without dulling the colors underneath, but it also functions perfectly on its own or with liner. This lip oil offers a lot of shine and still looks natural. The Wet Lip Oil/Gloss is lightweight and hardly noticeable once it’s on. The packaging is adorable and has a cute lid that snaps to make sure the product is closed completely. This gloss isn’t sticky or tacky, and has less transfer than most top glosses.

Star ingredients for this product are Hyaluronic Acid to attract water and lock in hydration. Peptides, Evening Primrose Oil, Avocado Oil, Konjac Root, and Shea Butter.

Overall, not the thick & shiny gloss I'm used to, but I was pleasantly surprised with the results and the performance.
