The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Camera: A New Perspective on Beauty Videos
Before we dive into the products, let’s talk about something a little different. This review was filmed using the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 camera. Typically used for vlogs and action shots, this compact camera is being tested for beauty videos. It offers dynamic action shots and face tracking, providing a unique perspective for makeup tutorials. The built-in lavalier mic also allows for clear audio without the need for additional equipment.

Application and Review
Base and Primer: Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer
We’re starting with the Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer. This product has a thick, grippy texture that makes your skin feel tacky – but that’s a good thing! It helps your makeup stick and stay put.
Key features:
- Tacky texture for long-lasting makeup
- Hydrating formula
- 100% of users reported more hydrated skin after 12 hours
- 100% agreed makeup lasts longer after 12 hours
- 93.33% felt their skin was immediately more hydrated
The primer feels a bit sticky at first, but that’s exactly what you want for makeup that lasts all day.
Bronzer and Serum: Caliray Sun Drip Skin Boosting Peptide Serum
Next up is the Caliray Sun Drip Skin Boosting Peptide Serum. This is a 2-in-1 product that acts as both a serum and a bronzer.
Key features:
- Lightweight and luminous
- Gives a sun-kissed glow
- Hydrates the skin
- Contains hyaluronic acid, coenzyme Q10, and vitamin E
- Sustainable brand
Application: A couple of drops go a long way. The bronzer blends easily and doesn’t look artificial. It gives a nice glow without being too intense. Perfect for those who want a natural, bronzed look without heavy makeup.
Blush Comparison: Haus Labs vs. Kosas
Let’s compare two different blush formulas: the cream-based Haus Labs Color Fuse Glassy Blush Balm and the powder-based Kosas Blush Is Life.
Haus Labs Color Fuse Glassy Blush Balm in Glassy Watermelon
Key features:
- Cream blush in a stick format
- Vibrant, bright color
- Blendable and buildable
Application: The color payoff is incredible! It looks very bright in the tube, but once blended, it gives a subtle, natural flush. You can easily layer it for more intensity. The cream formula of the Haus Labs Color Fuse Glassy Blus Balm is easy to blend but may need setting for longer wear.
Kosas Blush Is Life in Dreamland
Key features:
- Baked powder blush
- Contains skincare actives
- Dimensional color duo
Application: The Kosas Blush Is Life In Dreamland powder blush has a lighter pigment compared to the Haus Labs cream blush. It gives a more subtle effect with a slight frosty highlight. The baked formula allows you to pick up different colors from the pan, giving you control over the final look.
Both blushes offer different effects, so your choice might depend on your preferred formula and the intensity of color you’re after.
Contouring with Merit Bronze Balm
The Merit Bronze Balm in Clay is technically a bronzer, but it works great for contouring too.
Key features:
- Clean, vegan, and cruelty-free formula
- Cream-to-powder finish
- Buildable color
Application: The Bronze Balm blends easily and allows for precise application. It’s great for adding definition to cheekbones and contouring the nose. The cream-to-powder finish looks natural and doesn’t disturb the underlying makeup.
Lip Products: Lawless Gloss and Ilia Lip Crayon
Let’s finish off our look with some lip products!
Lawless Forget the Filler Lip Plump Line Smoothing Gloss
Key features:
- Plumping effect
- Line-smoothing formula
- Very sticky texture
Application: The Lawless Forget The Filler Lip Plumper gloss has a beautiful color payoff and a super sticky texture that helps it stay in place. It gives a fresh, summery look perfect for casual outings.
Ilia Lip Sketch Hydrating Crayon in Case Study
Key features:
- Smooth application
- Hydrating formula
- Versatile crayon format
Application: The Ilia Lip Sketch Hydrating Lipstick lip crayon goes on incredibly smooth without dragging or pulling the lips. The color is stunning and complements the overall sunkissed look beautifully. One potential concern is preventing bleeding, so a lip liner might be a good addition.
Final Looks and Recommendations
After trying all these products, we’ve created two stunning sunkissed looks:
- The Glowy Goddess: Pair the Haus Labs blush with the Ilia lip crayon for a vibrant, dewy look.
- The Subtle Sunkissed: Combine the Kosas blush with the Lawless lip gloss for a more understated, fresh-faced appearance.
Both looks achieve that perfect summer glow, so choose based on your personal style and the occasion!
This Sephora Sunkissed haul offers a fantastic range of products to achieve that perfect summer glow. From the grippy Milk Makeup primer to the versatile Caliray Bronzing Serum, and the beautifully pigmented blushes and lip products, there’s something for everyone.
The standout products for me were the Haus Labs blush for its incredible color payoff and the Ilia lip crayon for its smooth application and beautiful shade. However, all the products performed well and would make great additions to any summer makeup routine.
Remember, you can mix and match these products to create your own unique sunkissed look. Don’t be afraid to experiment and find the combination that works best for you!
Lastly, the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 camera proved to be an interesting choice for filming beauty videos. Its dynamic shots and face-tracking features added a new dimension to the review process.
So, are you ready to get that sunkissed glow? Head to Sephora and try out these amazing products for yourself. Your perfect summer look is just a shopping trip away!
