Whew! I never thought I would see the day when The Ordinary was sold at Nordstrom! I have loads of reviews of The Ordinary’s products on this site and Nordstrom is one of my favorite stores for beauty. The best of both worlds! There are ten products currently available:

A few weeks back when Ulta had a 20% off sale, I picked up quite a few items. It’s funny because the Sephora sale was just before that and I did not partake at all. Here’s what I made out with.

Do you like the smell of cherries? How about in your skincare? Well, my favorite cleansing balm now comes in cherry and it’s just as good as the lime! The Farmacy Very Cherry Clean cleansing balm performs the exact same as the Green Clean, so I’ll just link to that review rather than go through the motions with this one. It is worth describing…

PSA: Haba Rose Honey & Milk Ceramide Masks are the best sheet masks I have ever tried! You guysssssssss. These really expensive, Japanese sheet masks are amazing! I purchased these in NY recently and almost passed them up, but the rose, honey, and milk really drew me in. I am so glad I got them because they make my face…

I reckon it was only a matter of time before this happened! Amazon has started selling its own branded products. I was quite surprised to find this included skincare. Amazon knows what people like to buy and have slapped their name on it to give it to you cheaper; I didn’t find a single, individually sold product above $10! Here…

Back when Nordstrom was having a pop-up natural beauty sale, I picked up a few items. One of them was from a brand I had never heard of before, Truly Organic. They had a few things that sparked my interest, but I didn’t want to regret my purchase so I just stuck to one item, the Hemp Oil Facial Serum.

Peter Thomas Roth has released a line of cannabis sativa seed oil based products guaranteed to soothe irritated skin and keep you moisturized. I was able to try the Green Releaf Therapeutic Sleep Cream Skin Protectant courtesy of the brand and Brandbacker and am now ready to share my thoughts on it.

Photo: Nordstrom.com From March 1 through April 14, Nordstrom is having a “Natural Beauty” feature. It looks like they have brought in beauty conscious brands for this pop-in event, some of which I’ve never even heard of before. I’m not particularly picky about having natural ingredients in my beauty products, but there’s something about the trend that’s appealing. For me,…

Have you all spied the new Glow Recipe Avocado Sleeping Mask? I have! I’ve even been slathering it on my face and it’s time for a review – a very positive one!

I had been on an “eye creams are a waste of time, I need injectables” kick for a little while until I actually ran out of eye cream and was longing for a replacement. It turns out, they aren’t a waste of time and when I don’t have it, I want it! For me, I get all caught up in…

It’s been a while since I talked about The Ordinary. Now that things have seemed to calm down with the brand, I’m ready to get back into it. Today, I’ll be talking about the Marine Hyaluronics. My skin type Oily, but less oily in the winter. I get two or three zits monthly due to hormones that leave behind scars.…

Hey all! I just wanted to share with you some of the stuff I recently bought, and will be reviewing in the near future. Here’s a first look and initial thoughts:

Many months ago, I noticed a strange phenomenon: I was nearly out of all of my moisturizers! So I quickly set a budget and went looking. After a lot of wheel-spinning, I settled on First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream, a cream that has found its way on a lot of people’s vanity. I purchased this cream with the forthcoming…

One of the best and definitely most effective skincare products I have purchased is actually a tool: a facial steamer. After being treated to a facial many years ago that used a lot of steam, I began to look for one after being very satisfied with the results. My pores just opened up and accepted whatever was being inserted into…

I have stood in a Black Friday line once in my life and that’s about all it took to get me to never do it again. Must have been more than ten years ago. I’ve found that the same stuff is available online, from the comfort of your warm, cozy home, and sometimes on Thanksgiving Day! Here are interesting finds…

I am guilty of turning my nose up at non-Asian-branded sheet masks but listen, I have come around! The Sephora Watermelon After-Sun Mask is actually one of my favorite masks and I have repurchased it many times. It’s a mask that I wish was sold by the box! It’s a bio-cellulose mask that comes in two pieces: a mask for your…

I have been playing around with the Supergoop 100% Mineral Invincible Setting Powder with SPF45 since the beginning of summer, and I am ready to share my thoughts on it. I bought the powder in the deepest shade (Deep and sometimes referred to as Medium/deep).
