Tweet Now, I have a really bad habit of buying full size skincare products on the whim…very bad habit because inevitably it doesn’t quite suit me and it ends up in a drawer somewhere. So I decided recently that I needed some new skincare for my super sensitive skin and I ended up on a Kiehl’s counter where a super lovely SA recommended some products. I decided to be SENSIBLE and ask for samples, luckily the SA was really helpful {Read More}
Tweet Hallo, hallo, hallo! How glad am I that it’s finally Friday. It has been an extremely long week! One thing I have been keen on doing this week is trying different skincare out because of my increasingly spotty but also sensitive skin. In this case I am thinking that simple is better. I know my skin can’t handle too many anti-aging or active ingredients. SANA Hadanomy Collagen skincare has been around for a while now, and it’s in that {Read More}
Tweet My Beauty Diary is a Taiwanese brand that primarily makes in sheet masks but have recently expanded into skincare products. I purchased their Rose and White Peony Sleep Concentrate (read about sleeping packs here) to try because the packaging is so cute! The gel works like an invisible mask that locks in moisture on the skin. It can be used as a regular moisturiser or as a sleeping pack when applied more thickly at night. You are supposed to wash {Read More}
Tweet I was sent some products from a skincare brand called Jamela Skincare a while ago, and as always I picked out some unusual bits and pieces to try! Jamela’s range has a wide range of sheet masks, and the products are free of alcohol, fragrances and animal products. I picked the 24k Gold & Lotus Crystal Sheet masks to try. I have heard about the benefits of gold on the skin and I actually have a book of gold {Read More}
Tweet One of Etude House’s most popular range is the Moistfull (two L’s) range, which is supposed to be super hydrating for dry skins. The Moistfull range encompasses skincare and cosmetics. I recently spotted this Aloe Soothing Gel, part of the Aloe Moistfull range which is packaged in green (the rest of the regular range is in peach coloured packaging). I am all for hydrating gels because I just cannot bear to have cream on the surface of my skin {Read More}
Tweet Cure Natural Aqua Gel is a best selling skincare product from Japan; allegedly 1 bottle is sold every 20 seconds…that’s if people bought a bottle one after the other and there were 24 hour pharmacies. But the get the point; this stuff is much loved. What is a Peeling Gel? Check out this link here. Basically, Cure is a natural skin exfoliator, a grainless buffer for the skin. It doesn’t use strong acids either which means it is very {Read More}
Tweet ‘The very essence of instinct is that it’s followed independently of reason.’ Charles Darwin For Christmas this year, Aesop have released a range of science inspired skincare kits, ranging in sizes, functions and prices – and they are pretty funky if I don’t say so myself. They are called the Daring Cases In Favour of Science. The design and concept would look seriously try-hard with some other brands, but with Aesop and it’s apothecary feel, it works. I have {Read More}
Tweet 2 years ago (wow!) I wrote about The Japanese Skincare Revolution, a book by a lady called Chizu Saeki, a skincare guru. In the book she recommends a regime of using moist facial masks and sheets to hydrate and plump this skin; according to her, this was one of the most important steps to looking young! I have tried this a few times to good results provided I use a decent toner but then gain I just don’t always {Read More}
