A different reflection on skincare today
In an unusual turn of events, I have writer’s block here as I try to compose my “Skincare Sunday” post. I usually am ready with something. But I have nothing. It’s probably due to my level of exhaustion from choosing to over schedule myself. To fit it all in, I compromised my sleep. I ate…

How well does a grape water mist work?: Thoughts on this Caudalie product
I picked up the Caudalie Grape Water Moisturizing Face Mist to give the brand a second chance. As a reminder of my previous post, I am not a fan of their Beauty Elixir. I found, though social media sings its praises, the extracts and essential oils in the blend irritated my skin. That led me…

Are you reading the instructions?
This won’t be a full-on product review here, but I do want to point out something. Maybe you should read instructions. I think back to my seeming hatred for the Laneige lip mask. Everyone it seems everywhere uses it as a lip balm. So, I followed suit, and I hated it. It seemed like it…

A few Chanel Beauty first impressions
I tried three skincare products from Chanel. They were just testers, so really this is just a first impressions post. Spoilers: I wasn’t impressed. At the time of trial, my major skin concern was dryness. Ergo, that’s what I was focusing on. And mind you, I was also testing this in late fall and winter.…

Quick Review: Honey Halo moisturizer from Farmacy
I had high hopes for the Honey Halo Hydrating Ceramide Face Moisturizer from Farmacy. But alas, it has disappointed me just like others. My skin seemed to absorb the product. When I went to recheck the website, the model’s skin looks dewy. My skin, after a few minutes looked matte. It makes me wonder if…

More masks, please!
I promised that I would have more fun with my skincare, so I decided to do some multimasking. No, not the old social media trend that saw people with multiple concoctions on different parts of their face at one time. Instead, Step 1 – mask, Step 2- a different mask, and continue. I remember, months…

Falling out of love with skincare?
This feels a bit extreme, but I think I am falling out love with skincare. Or well, we are at least on strained terms. Right now, the current slate of products I have been trying have underwhelmed me. As we get deeper and deeper into winter, I haven’t felt anything but dry skin on my…
