Any HBO Game of Thrones fans out there? Today, I have a review of a cleansing oil by Neutrogena, and it reminds me a lot of Theon Greyjoy. I often wonder why he is allowed to live while your fav is killed off, and other times find myself rooting for him even though I know he is going to end…

Eyebrows on 10 when I saw that The Ordinary was serving up a Resveratrol-Ferulic Acid Solution ($7.90). Resveratrol and Ferulic Acid are both antioxidants, which I wanted to include in my skin care regimen with intent. Before I get into that, let’s get some key facts down before I jump into this review, which should answer the question as to…

I received the Skin79 Waterproof Sun Gel SPF 50+ PA++++ as a gift from my sister. She got it in S. Korea and my lord I cannot find it anywhere here! I have seen the Sun Gel with SPF 50+ PA+++, but the PA++++ seems to have disappeared or not really sold anywhere! I have also seen PA++++ on the…

Prior to last year, Arcona was not a brand I had heard of. I was attracted to their product based on the ingredients, which seem on the more natural side. Now, as a person with oily skin, sometimes I am acne prone and tea tree anything is right up my alley. One of the two products I purchased was the…

The biggest issue I have with my skin is hyperpigmentation, mainly acne scars. When I got an email from Deciem about Niod’s new Re:Pigment serum, I bought it right away.

The Lanolips Tinted Lip Balms ($13.50) first came to my attention via Instagram, where I noticed one of my favorite makeup artists, Ania Milczarczyk, using it all the time. There really didn’t seem to be anything overly special about them, but I love the natural looks she creates and she basically convinced me that I needed these. I settled on…

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. 😇

I honestly can’t believe how much The Ordinary Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate 10% surprised me. I turned my nose up at it the entire time I had it and it wasn’t until I eyed the before and after photos did I come to appreciate it.

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…

I have had the Bravura Lactic Acid 10% for so long. I would use it intermittently because I just couldn’t get excited about it. I used it about five times before I totally started ignoring it. In the end, I found a magnificent use for it! My skin type Oily, acne scars on cheeks and a bit on the chin.…

The Ren GlycoLactic Radiance Renewal Mask really impressed me. It’s one of the products I picked up when I went to England last year, and has become a staple mask when I pamper myself. I made a habit of giving myself an at-home facial every weekend shortly after I purchased this mask. I’ve been slacking on that front lately, but…

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…

Neostrata is a brand that continues to impress me. Their no nonsense, basic, and effective approach to skincare has made me a fan! In this post, I will be reviewing the Bionic Face Serum, with 10% Lactobionic Acid. My skin type Oily, acne scarring on cheeks and chin. What it’s supposed to do This is an antiaging serum that’s supposed…

Many of you have tried at least one product from The Ordinary; they are cheap, basic products that haven’t generally sparked much joy for me. They are special, though, because the whole point of the line was to show that active ingredients don’t have to be so expensive and inaccessible by the average person. The problem is, they’re pretty boring.…

I swear this cleansing oil lasts forever. I have been using this cleansing oil for so long! I’m nearly done using it and have a few thins to say about it. I have read mixed reviews of The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Light Oil. Either people love it or they hate it. I am on the love side…

I am a huge fan of Erborian, so when I saw a few reviews of their new Black Cleansing Oil giving it high marks I had to get mine out there in the world. This has been sitting in my review queue for some time because I had to be completely sure of how I felt about it.

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.
