I was introduced to Clarins Multi-Active Jour Cream SPF 20 ($54.00) via a deluxe-sized sample. The sample of this moisturizer convinced me to go ahead and purchase the full-sized version. That’s significant for me because there aren’t many products that have made me go out and buy the full-sized version, especially in skincare.

As much as I hate to admit it, I am a sucker for things that smell like honey; more specifically, things that smell like the Papa Recipe Honey Bombee masks. I picked up the Sana Honeyshca All In One Serum and Gel from Everyday Beauty Lab in NYC. I knew it was an empty buy but it smelled so good!…

This is another one of those, this mask is amazing posts… FYI A nice helping of 25g for the mask and 2g for the Milkpeel swab

I really like mists. I like spraying them on my face thinking they are doing something. I like the idea that they actually do something, and they are refreshing right after cleansing.

More Lovemore! I really love when sheet masks fit my face. I always thought I had an average sized face, but sheet masks totally make me second guess that. They almost never fit me. Lately, I have been having good luck in that department. One of those well-fitting masks is the Lovemore Yurong Scattered Amazing White Sheet Mask. This mask…

I just love deep discounts. Also skincare. Also masks. Peter Thomas Roth is holding a Buy One, Get One Free Special on five of their masks today through January 2nd, 2017. The only catch is that you must purchase two of the same masks to get the discount. Each mask will come out as half off. Perfect Christmas gift! I’m…

I recently took a much-needed vacation to England and Paris. In England, I was able to visit Nottingham, which would be my primary base, Birmingham, Liverpool, Leicester, and Manchester! I did all of my shopping, which wasn’t much, in Nottingham, a really beautiful, quaint little town. One of these shopping destinations was a Kiehl’s. Now, I know we have these…

For the past few months, I have been using multiple products from Erborian and they are all good. The Sleeping BB Mask ($38.00) is the stand-out product, though, because while it moisturizes and makes my skin feel baby-soft, it also keeps the creeper eczema from appearing on my neck.

Behold this really weird product! It’s by no means new and most people into K-beauty have already tried it. I would say the Elizavecca Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask ($10.00) would be part of a K-beauty starter pack. Oddly enough, this product has a learning curve.

I am nearly out of my first bottle of Vitamin C Suspension ($5.80) and Alpha Arbutin 2% ($8.90) from The Ordinary, a subsidiary of Deciem, and I reckon it’s time for a report. Vitamin C Suspension Deciem claims that this is pure and stable 23% Vitamin C, an L-Ascorbic Acid powder, in this case. It’s important to note that Deciem markets this…

Retinol is one of those products that need long-term use in order to see the effects of its use (for me anyway). No exception will be made here with the Valentia Night Revive Retinol Serum ($35.00).

This moisturizer is great. Can you tell I like it? Sometimes it’s hard to rate a moisturizer, especially if it doesn’t have any multitasking properties. The Erborian Bamboo Creme Frappee ($43.00) is just a moisturizer that moisturizes your skin. Nothing more, nothing less. I like that the brand doesn’t claim that it does some out-of-this-world thing like make wrinkles disappear.…

As ludicrous as that question sounds, I often find myself with that question in the back of my head and sometimes angry and at the front of it. As a product junkie and beauty blogger, I am always trying new… well, everything. New skincare, new hair stuff, new makeup. I don’t have sensitive skin, and it hardly reacts to anything,…

The IPKN Calendula Massage Cleansing Cream is a product I wanted to love so bad, but just couldn’t. I got this in a Hautelook flash sale long ago, along with a gel eyeliner from the brand, and was attracted to the claims it made and all of the natural ingredients. Just look at that: celery, broccoli, carrot, tomato… all the…

I am a fan of multitasking. Two birds, one stone. That’s all me. I recently started using a light moisturizer, Valentia Pure Glow Brightening Moisturizer ($25.00). When I received* the moisturizer I was pleasantly surprised at the size of the bottle; you get 4 oz of product for only $25. It’s well-priced, and has a lot of ingredients I venture…

My skincare routine is always changing and evolving. I’ve only recently been comfortable with making moisturizer an important step in my regimen. Why? Because my skin is oily and I am wary of putting things on it that will make it feel weighed down. But all moisturizers are not made equal! And when I got comfortable using them regularly, I…

A few words before getting into this picture preview… The Ordinary is a new skincare line from Deciem meant to shade skin care companies for price gouging. Oops, I meant to say it’s a new skincare line from The Deciem that shows skincare can be effective and affordable. Yay! I ended up choosing the Alpha Arbutin ($8.90) and the Vitamin C…

Sometimes I feel like not venturing out and just sticking to what I know, but then that would make me the worse beauty addict… and it’s just not possible for me to do that. I thought that because I loved the Biore UV Perfect Face Milk, I would be ok with the Biore UV Perfect Bright Milk, but I was wrong.…

The Jeju Volcanic Lava Clay Mask Pack from The Face Shop is a pretty good mask. My absolute favorite part of it is the packaging; it comes in a metal pump can so that when you need product, you don’t have to dip your fingers in anything. For me, dipping my hand in jars of clay is a minor annoyance…

I haven’t had much luck with Innisfree products; none that I have used thus far have ever wowed me. I think my luck has changed, though. I received the Green Tea Seed Serum as part of a care package from my sister who lives in South Korea. My first impression of the serum was one of hesitance. It’s quite fragranced…
