Alleyoop created the most unique product I tried this year – their
Multi-Tasker brush. It was part of one of my Boxycharm boxes and it intrigued me from the start. Imagine having a $28 brush that has 4 functions: eyeshadow brush, brow brush, blush brush and a concealer sponge that also blends makeup beautifully. It’s not only great for home use but it’s an excellent travel tool.
Sample
Why Dream Team? Like all Alleyoop products, Dream Team is a multifunctional product, helping you save time, space, and money. By using the creamy, cloud-like fluffy goodness of your favorite moisturizer infused with clean, clinically proven ingredients gentle enough for the eye area, Alleyoop created a powerhouse blend of high molecular weight hyaluronic acid and plant-derived squalane — leaving your skin so soft and smooth, your face will think it’s dreaming. Except this isn’t a dream, it’s real life.
The inspiration behind Dream Team is that you don’t really need to use a lot of different products. That you can combine products instead of using a lot of different ones to achieve the results you want. They worked with dermatologists because they don’t believe in separate eye creams so they created a formula that’s both good for your face and your eyes. I know I have many lazy nights that I’m anxious to be done with my skincare so using one product fits perfectly then. Also when you travel the less you can bring the better.
Here are some of the highlights of their ingredients:
High Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid: Attracts + binds moisture to improve skin hydration and helps to reduce transepidermal water loss.
Plant-derived Squalane: Locks in moisture, moisturizes + softens the skin, fights skin damage and free radicals.
Coconut Oil and Tiare Flower Extract Blend (native to the islands of Tahiti): Increases hydration and improves skin smoothness.
Macadamia Nut Oil: Nourishes skin, rich in Palmitoleic Acid (Omega-7), and essential for healthy skin function.
If you’ve read my reviews of products then you know that I’m a big believer in fragrance-free items so when I saw that DREAM TEAM was not only cruelty-free, paraben-free, clean beauty AND fragrance-free then I was excited to try it out.
My excitement turned to reality when I actually could use it and see how well my skin reacted to it. It’s described as cloudlike because it’s light as a cloud but is very nourishing and hydrating. It feels heavenly when applied. When I wake up in the morning my skin still feels soft while refreshed. To use it as a mask they suggest letting it dry and then applying a second layer that you leave on overnight.
I enjoy using it as an eye cream too so that I can get out of the bathroom faster. It’s not my everyday eye cream but it’s a pleasure when I use it.
What you receive when you buy the full size is a refillable bottle and the refill. After that (or even before) you can buy just the refill so that there’s less waste. If you just want the mini then it comes in a jar instead.
This is a great option for travel since it’s 0.5 oz and takes up so little room in your packing.
Why Dream Team instead of the dozens and dozens of other moisturizers out there?
- Moisturizes & locks in moisture improving skin hydration and helps to reduce transepidermal water loss
- Deeply nourishes skin, improves skin smoothness and softens skin while fighting skin damage and free radicals
- Safe to use all over face (aka no more buying 3 separate products that do the same thing for your skin!)
- Jar made of 50% PCR material
- Vegan, fragrance-free, paraben-free & cruelty-free
I love the innovation of Alleyoop and look forward to using more products from them in the future. Allison took the Multi-Tasker brush with her on her Montreal trip and received a Stack the Odds trio in her latest IPSY bag (making me jealous!) Lots of great products from
Alleyoop are available and I’m sure there’s more to come.

Happy travels. This is a great moisturizer and an even better travel companion. I’ve been using it as an eye cream more often than I thought I would.

That brush is wonderful. Soehow I ended up with more than one and gifted one to my friends teenage daughter that’s getting into makeup. She loves it!
I love the brush too. They were in several subscription boxes.
