I finally found a gentle cleansing wipe!, My review of Shiseido’s Refreshing Cleansing Sheets
While I was traveling through Nigeria, I wanted some cleansing wipes on hand to keep my face clean without having to use the local water or waste bottled water just for my face. Admittedly, I don’t have the best history with cleansing wipes. In the past, I have felt them to be way too harsh.…

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

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.
