Self Care Sundays: Reflections
Ft. Lauderdale Beach

Self Care Sundays: Reflections

I want to try to make this a thing, but I am going to forgive myself right now if I don’t. I recently just came back from a celebratory getaway – a week-long (ok, 6 days) vacation in Ft. Lauderdale Beach. We generally go to Miami for breaks, but I convinced my S/O to go to FLL instead. I used…

Son & Park Beauty Water

Son & Park Beauty Water

If micellar cleansing water turned you off to beauty water, let me just try and change your mind here. First of all, this is not a micellar cleansing water. In fact, it’s beauty water and I have never experienced anything like it.  It took me some time to even look at the Son & Park Beauty Water the right way…

Acid Heavy Winter Skin Care Regimen For Smooth, Glowy Skin

Acid Heavy Winter Skin Care Regimen For Smooth, Glowy Skin

I thought it was about time I did an update on my skin and talk about one of my acid-heavy skin care routines, since I haven’t done one in a while.

Make Your Next Cleansing Oil This One From Kose!

Make Your Next Cleansing Oil This One From Kose!

I was thinking about slandering two cleansing oils (and rightfully so with at least one of them) in order to rave about how good this cleansing oil is, but decided to just let the Kose Softymo Speedy Cleansing Oil bask in its own glory without stepping on the necks of other cleansing oils. 😇

Review: Manyo Factory Galactomyces Special Treatment Essence Niacin

I bought the Manyo Factory Galactomyces Niacin Special Treatment Essence to combat discoloration on my face due to acne scars. What initially attracted me to it was all the ferment talk in the ingredients. I was also drew to it because it’s only got seven ingredients so it seemed on the more “natural” side. My skin type I have oily…

Review: Banobagi Vita Genic Jelly Sheet Masks

Review: Banobagi Vita Genic Jelly Sheet Masks

Sheet masks are just sheet masks right? They provide moisture for the most part and sometimes a bit of brightening. I find that lately, a lot of them sort of blend in after a while as far as blowing my mind, but from time to time, there are a few that make me raise my eyebrows and nod my head…

Review: AmorePacific Treatment Toner

Review: AmorePacific Treatment Toner

The Amorepacific Treatment Toner caught my eye because of the fancy ingredients. I’m not a huge moisturizing toner person, and usually go for acid toners. However, this was my first Amorepacific purchase and it had pretty good reviews so I thought I would splurge on this $50.00 toner.
