Ariana's Cloud fragrance was launched in September 2018 during her Sweetener era and as we all know it was after she went through a difficult period of time in her life. Therefore, it comes to no surprise that the fragrance was inspired by optimism and hope. It was also her first fragrance that came with a new bottle design which stood apart from her existing fragrances at the time. Cloud is described as uplifting and addictive new scent which imbues a thoughtful, artistic expression of positivity and happiness from Ariana to her fans. 

The opening gives me a burst of very sweet gourmand and fruity notes. As it settles throughout the day, it gets sweeter but at the same time sexier and you start to smell the Creme de Coconut and its bottom notes of musk and creamy woods. Personally, I find this fragrance to be very sweet but very mature and therefore, not as childish as her previous scents. For example, Sweet Like Candy is sweet but a very high school scent whereas Cloud is sweet but I can see a mature, businesswoman wearing it. To keep it simple as not everyone cares about the top, middle and bottom notes, I would say this smells like burnt sugar with cotton candy but in a very mature, sexy way! It's hard to imagine the scent but I personally really like it and have been wearing it non-stop since I've purchased it. In addition, Cloud has been named the best dupe for Baccarat Rouge 540 by Maison Francis Kurkdjian which is a very expensive fragrance available to purchase for £215 for 75ml. Once lockdown is over here in the UK, I'll be heading to the nearest shop to test out Baccarat Rouge to see how similar it actually is to Cloud. 

As mentioned in my Thank You, Next review, Cloud was the first Ariana fragrance with a new bottle design which in my opinion looks much better than her old ones. The bottle itself is blue but see-through and reminds me of a Chanel Chance bottle which looks super elegant and classy. It's topped with a cloud cap, which fits the cloud theme of the fragrance. The bottle comes with a perfume holder in the shape of a cloud, which you can gladly show off on your vanity. I don't really like her fragrance holders because I do think the bottles look very cute on its own and the Cloud holder has this annoying plastic smell which I can't stand. 

Cetaphil's Gentle Skin Cleanser is said to be specially formulated to provide effective, gentle skincare to help your skin look and feel its best. It is fragrance free and non-comedogenic meaning it won't block your pores. Cetaphil's Cleanser cleanses, moisturises and gently removes what your skin doesn't need, without disturbing the skin's natural pH balance. It's recommended for all skin types including sensitive skin and to use not only on your face but also on your hands and entire body.

After not having the best luck with my No7 foaming cleanser, I was desperate of a good cleanser that wouldn't irritate my skin. I read a lot about Cetaphil and finally decided to give it a go. I found this cleanser to do exactly what it claims - it's super gentle especially if you have sensitive skin like me. It fully removes all of your makeup and doesn't leave your skin feeling dry at all. My face always felt soft and super clean after each use. The only reason I stopped using this is because I really enjoy my Kylie Skin foaming cleanser, however this is definitely way more affordable and it's the next best cleanser I would personally recommend. 

I always appreciate a good moisturiser with the highest SPF possible because I am very pale and therefore need as much protection from the sun as possible. Cetaphil's Daily Defence Moisturiser claims to be light-weight and easily absorbed. It hydrates skin and provides very high, broad-spectrum UVA/B photoprotection to help defend skin against the effects of daily exposure to the sunlight and help skin maintain its natural protective barrier. It's suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Similarly to the cleanser, the moisturiser is also fragrance-free and non-comedogenic as well as dermatologist tested. 

I really like the fact that this moisturiser is SPF50 because that's the high protection I always look for in my moisturisers. I found this sunscreen to be very light and just as it's described, it absorbs really quickly. I had no problem wearing it under my makeup or alone - it spreads easily on your face and you can apply makeup on top of it without any issues. My skin is very sensitive and I had no bad reactions to it. The only thing I could complain about is the size of this product. It comes in 50ml which is quite small comparing to my other sunscreens that are much more affordable. However, if your skin is really sensitive and you want a moisturiser that won't break you out, definitely check out Cetaphil's products!

My experience with Cetaphil's products has been very positive, my skin had no bad reactions to their products and it's something I would consider repurchasing. I'm not sure in which countries except the UK you can purchase Cetaphil's products from but if you do come across them I would definitely recommend you to try them out.
