I tried the Glow Recipe Dew Drops for a month. These are my thoughts
This is what I knew about Glow Recipe before I decided to give their products a serious try: Cute fun packaging and everything has a fruit of some sore. If you are playing along, you should probably guess that means not very much. So having done little to no research ahead of time, I was…

This year I’m expanding my approach to skincare
When I started getting into skincare, that to me meant focusing on my face. Every product I bought was geared to all of the issues that occur there, that bit that is how I am known by the world. But recently I have been thinking that my skin is not just my face. Your skin…

Skincare for men? Lab Series Max LS Cleanser
This was new cleanser for me to try, but I’m not sure I am the best person to test it out. It is the Lab Series Cleanser for men. I am not a man. But I have a face, so hopefully that will be enough for now. I have to say that I used this…

Just a few days using the Osea Advanced Protection Cream
I tried the Osea Advanced Protection Cream over the course of three days. I was going to say that it was okay, but it was … interesting. I found that it was a thick cream that I had to work into my skin. But despite that, it didn’t leave my skin hydrated. The next day,…

Experience with the Omorovicza Moor Cleansing Cream
I have had little experience with the brand, Omorovicza. I am not even sure how to pronounce it. I wasn’t exactly sure how things would go when I tried their Moor Cleansing Cream. Following the instructions, I dampened my face. I put a pea-sized about on my fingertips, and got to work. As I moved…
