Cleansing water really exploded last year. I hadn’t heard of it before then, so I decided to grab two of them to test, to see how I like them. After all, I love the idea of swiping a few cotton pads across my face and just going straight to bed, but does it really work? Is it really just water?…

I became curious about squalane when I saw Biossance (100 ml/3.38 fl. oz.) selling theirs for $58.00 (works out to $17.16/fl. oz.) and thought what’s up with squalane?! I looked around and also saw the one from Peter Thomas Roth (30 ml/1 fl. oz.)for $38.00 and Indie Lee (30 ml/1 fl. oz.) retailing for $32.00. I certainly noticed that The Ordinary 100% Plant-Derived Squalane…

This review has sort of been a long time coming. Mainly because I have been trying to get myself to love this stuff, but alas! The Sunday Riley Blue Moon Tranquility Cleansing Balm has some real issues I just couldn’t overlook. To top that off, the joy factor is pretty low on this on too. My skin type Oily What…

Have you read my review of the Joseon Dynasty Cream? If not, head on over and give it a read because the Secret Key Starting Treatment Cream is a really good dupe for the Joseon Dynasty Cream, and guess what? It’s cheap, cheap!

I’m conflicted about this product. I really like using lactic acid on my skin, but there’s something about the Blithe Energy Yellow Citrus & Honey Splash Mask I just have a hard time with. The directions. The whole idea of the thing. Here’s the thing, I like the product, I just think there’s an easier, less messy way to get…

I almost pushed “Checkout” on my Sephora cart without going through my “Loves” list. Glad I did, too, because Soko to Tokyo ($40.00) is BACK and it’s got products I have been wanting to try but couldn’t bring myself to push the button on. Photo credit: Sephora.com The set includes: – 0.2 oz/ 7 g AmorePacific Treatment Enzyme Peel –…

I always have my eyes open in the beauty world, scoping out new products, or just plain lusting over products i happen to come across. Lately, there are a few in the luxury beauty world that are giving me some major FOMO! Don’t be surprised if you see one of these up for review in the near future! 😩

I got my order from The Ordinary way sooner than I thought I would, which made me very happy. I posted about new items from the Ordinary a little while ago, and when some of them came in stock, I picked them up immediately. I settled on the Alpha Lipoic Acid 5%, 100% Plant-Derived Squalane, Advanced Retinoid 2%, and the…

I’m probably the only person I know that still likes animal milk. Yeah, that organic whole milk. Delicious. I’ve never had milk from a donkey, nor do I plan on it. But I will put it on my face. 😎 I had good experiences with Soo AE Freeset Donkey Milk Skin Gel Mask Packs and recommend them.

The amount of products I have in my blog folder to review is in the triple digits. While I dread writing about lackluster products (and this one is scathing), I feel like it’s just as necessary as writing about products I love. Now while everyone’s skin is different, and when it comes to skincare a lot of it is YMMV,…
