Maybe washing your face in the morning isn’t necessary
I must admit to you now: I am not the kind of person who fully cleanses her face in the morning. I am more in the camp of let’s do a full routine at night, including cleanser and all the other steps. Then in the morning, it’s just a little refresh. But because I have…

First impressions: Wake Up Gel from Good Molecules
I used the Wake Up Gel from Good Molecules for a couple of days. That is not a very long time, so let’s jump right in to my thoughts. It boasts the benefits of reducing puffiness while also plumping fine lines. I was confused how that could possibly work. From what I can tell, the…

Undoubtedly the least helpful Shiseido review
I tried Shiseido’s Future Solution LX Regenerating Eye and Lip Contour Cream and was able to come to my first impressions. I will get my first impression out of the way really quickly. It was a thick consistency, very hydrating. I didn’t get to try it for long enough to get to know how it…

Have you ever heard of Cellcosmet Switzerland?
I have a problem, well multiple problems really. I am overly curious when it comes to skincare. That skincare tends to be expensive luxury skincare. And I only have one face and a limited budget. That said, I can’t try everything I am interested in, but I am intrigued by the offerings from Cellcosmet Switzerland.…

How I’m using the Osea Ocean Cleanser
I use the Osea Ocean Cleanser on those days when I feel like my skin could use some help. It’s those days when I want a little exfoliation or think my pores are getting out of control. I pump some of the product into my hands, apply it to my damp face, and clean my…

The beach is nature’s best spa
While I was out in the Dominican Republic, I waded out into the water. I let the waves crash into me as I reflected on the beauty of the water and fought to balance myself. I didn’t spend much time in the water, or nearly as much as I would like to have because I…
