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.

You Bring Me Joy: Farmacy Green Clean Cleansing Balm Review

You Bring Me Joy: Farmacy Green Clean Cleansing Balm Review

One of the most important steps in makeup for me is taking it all off at the end of the day. I’ve never really been too fussed about cleansers, especially oil cleansers because most of them actually remove surface makeup. There have been some exceptions though! However, I have come across some that do not remove waterproof makeup. As of…

Innisfree Perfect UV Protection Cream for Oily Skin SPF 50+ PA ++++

It’s definitely summer! I’ve got a long-overdue sunscreen review today. If you follow me on Instagram, you know I have talked a little bit about this during Sunscreen Week. Speaking of sunscreen week, every week should be sunscreen week. It’s so easy to forget to put it on and the consequences are just not worth it! Prevention is key! My…

Sunday Riley Sunday School Set Review: CEO Cleansing Oil & Moisturizer, Good Genes, …

I bought the Sunday Riley Sunday School Skincare Kit when it first came to Sephora, during the VIB sale. I was very excited to try this combination of items, plus I had been eyeing the cleansing oil and moisturizer in the CEO line.

Review: Neostrata Foaming Glycolic Wash, 20 Bionic/AHA

Review: Neostrata Foaming Glycolic Wash, 20 Bionic/AHA

When it comes to cleansers, I am pretty consistent. I like my cleanser to clean every bit of makeup off my face after cleansing oil; I like my cleansers to do something other than clean. That brings me to NeoStrata’s Foaming Glycolic Wash 20 Bionic/AHA. The cleanser has a combination of 18% glycolic acid and 2% lactobionic acid, a polyhydroxy…

Review: The Ordinary Alpha Lipoic Acid 5%

Review: The Ordinary Alpha Lipoic Acid 5%

The Alpha Lipoic Acid from The Ordinary has got to be the “strongest” at-home acid I have ever used. And to think, I turned my nose up at 5% but it turns out that it’s actually an “exceptionally high” concentration of the acid. My skin type Oily; acne scarring on chin and cheeks. I also have enlarged, damaged pores on…

Spotlight on Sunscreen: Are You Using Enough? (Plus Sunscreen in a Ball!)

Spotlight on Sunscreen: Are You Using Enough? (Plus Sunscreen in a Ball!)

Did you know you’re supposed to wear a shot glass full of sunscreen every day (~1 oz.)? Do you know how much sunscreen you’re supposed to put on your face? I have always kind of winged it but we should all really be following the teaspoon rule. One teaspoon of sunscreen is supposed to be enough for your face, head,…

A Comparison Review of Biossance and The Ordinary 100 %Squalane + a Look at Biossance Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil

A Comparison Review of Biossance and The Ordinary 100 %Squalane + a Look at …

I hadn’t thought one bit about squalane until I started seeing the ingredient in oils everywhere. I had seen it randomly on Sephora website, but have always been really adverse to putting oil on my skin. After trying and loving The Ordinary’s 100% Plant-Derived Squalane, I thought why not try the Biossance Squalane, especially since the brand offers free samples! The…
