Philosophy’s Pore extractor clay mask. Not so bad
I did not begin with high hopes for the Philosophy Pore Extractor Mask. Before I get into it, I have to admit two things. 1. I didn’t know Philosophy made skincare. 2. I am often leery of clay masks, as someone with dry skin. Philosophy Pore Extractor Clay Mask $37 for 2.5 oz Face mask…

If you are into skincare, it doesn’t matter how much you spend on your products if you refuse to spend any of that on sunscreen. At this point, most of us know that sun exposure can lead to premature skin aging. On top of that, some of the ingredients you may be using to treat…

Testing out the Elemis Ultra Smart Pro-Collagen Enviro-Adapt Day Cream
At $295 per jar, I am glad that I didn’t fall head over heels for the Elemis Ultra Smart Pro-Collagen Enviro-Adapt Day Cream. This is a thick cream designed to help maturing skin become more resilient and adapt to differing conditions throughout the day. I only had a deluxe sample to work with. I wasn’t…

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…

In an era where it seems a celebrity starts a skincare or beauty line every 20 seconds, it makes sense that we now have one from the man who so strongly held the title of Sexiest Man Alive. (He probably still holds on to that title in the hearts of many of his fans.) Yes,…

The Joanna Vargas Exfoliating Mask reviewed
I opened the sample packet for the Joanna Vargas Exfoliating Mask and was awed. It was pretty. I mean, it was like liquid gold. How can you not feel luxurious when rubbing your face with liquid gold. Well, when it’s filled with tiny rocks that feel as if they are rubbing off your skin, maybe…

La Retro Whipped Cream from Drunk Elephant. No comment
Drunk Elephant Lala Retro Whipped Cream $60 A lightweight, whipped, moisturizer I guess I’ll keep this short. Reminder, I have dry skin. The Lala Retro Whipped Cream didn’t do anything special for me. It seems like a dry moisturizer. What I mean about that is there is no dew. You’re not ashy, but there is…

The 111Skin Maskne Protection Bio Cellulose Mask was so good to my skin
After I gushed about why 111Skin is now my favorite mask brand, you many wondering what mask I tried. My entry into the brand started with their Maskne Protection Bio Cellulose Mask.

Why you have to try 111Skin sheet masks
Fresh out the gate here: 111Skin now my most favorite sheet mask brand for the simple fact that the mask itself adhered to my face. You might be thinking, “Uh yeah, that’s what they do.” Lies, that is not what face masks do. I am very used to having to go lie down somewhere to…
