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

Man. I used to hate going into rack stores (Marshall’s, TJ Maxx, Ross). I mean, I still do (I like order!), but a lot of them have stepped their game up when it comes to discounted beauty products. We are seeing brands like Mac, Kat Von D, and Bobbi Brown in rack stores now. I’ve even seen tempting Kbeauty products…

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

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…
