Is a premium dermaplaning tool better than a budget option?
Dermaplaning. Maybe you have heard of it. Maybe you have already done it and are a pro at this yourself. In either case, I was not familiar with it, until I decided to try the products here today. I got suckered in to trying the Stacked Skincare dermaplane tool during a sale. It had been…

First impressions: Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Serum
I tried the Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Serum shortly after using the J Lo beauty serum. Needless to say I had low expectations. The JLo Beauty serum was not good for me, and I assumed it was because of the fermented ingredient. This serum also features a fermented ingredient, which to me meant it also…

It’s springtime and my eyes are puffy. Here is how well this depuffing mask worked for me
I previously sang the praises of 111Skin on this blog. Big fan of the biocellulose they use to make the masks, particularly the anti-maskne one. I previously tried their Cryo Depuffing Facial Mask and decided that today was the day to try it again. Cryo depuffing facial mask $32 for one mask, $135 for 5…

Did Clinique Hydrosurge hydrate my dry skin?
I’ve got a quick review for you of the Clinique Moisture Surge™ 100H Auto-Replenishing Hydrator. Okay, okay, I must admit that I have tried this product before and wasn’t impressed. I’m giving it another try for this quick review. The texture is a very light consistency, definitely erring closer to gel than cream. (The brand…

Let’s talk about Exfolikate from Kate Somerville
I tried Exfolikate from Kate Somerville on two separate occasions. Both times I started by washing my face with Tata Harper Nourishing Oil Cleanser, and then finished off by applying my Tatcha Dewy Cream. Okay, let’s dive in now. The first time I used this product, I put on probably two pea sized amounts. I…

Have you tried Fresh’s hydrating lip cream yet? Well, you should.
Have I told you before how much I love the Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Petal-Soft Lip Cream? No? Well, I should have. I am constantly on the hunt for great products for dry lips, often disappointed as well. But every now and again, there is a product that gives me hope and does exactly what…

Go ahead, give Supergoop a try if you’re looking for a clean sunscreen
You already know that you should be wearing sunscreen everyday, right? Good. Personally, I have been using Supergoop for some time now. I found it while looking for “clean” products and decided to give the brand a try. Here is a quick review of a few of their products, from the perspective of my dry…

The Mila Moursi Cleansing Foam, an effective yet gentle cleanser
The Mila Moursi Cleansing Foam is one that I have now tried multiple times. I had a fairly good experience with it. I would say it errs on the side of gentle and non-stripping. I didn’t get that tight feeling and instant dry patches I get some times with cleansers. Mila Moursi Cleansing Foam $52…

Another eye product review: The Park 2-in-1 Eye Lift may be right for you, if…
I didn’t really know what to expect with the Park 2-in-1 Eye lift. Maybe I thought this would be a skincare version of the snatched fox eyes look. I thought it’d work by tightening the area. I say thought, because I went in blind as I tested it out for the first time. 2 in…

The BeautyStat Universal C Eye Perfector isn’t perfect
I am comfortable admitting when I used a product wrong or when there has been a weird fluke experience. (See the update below.) But no, I didn’t like Beauty Stat’s Universal C Eye Perfector. I am going to contrast my experience with what how the brand describes it on the site. Beauty Stat Universal C…
