Apologies to you, Farmacy and your Honey Halo
I would like to submit a formal apology to you, Honey Halo Hydrating Ceramide Face Moisturizer from Farmacy. I still had a bit of you remaining in the jar after I had given up on you post my review. So I figured, why not try to use it up this one last time? And this…

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.

I definitely have some thoughts about this eye mask from Laneige
When I got the Laneige Bouncy & Firm Eye Sleeping Mask , it was not at all what I was expecting. And that’s on me. I was expecting a moisturizing cream. Something that hydrated my skin and left it feeling and looking plump. Nope I think the name was more so describing the product itself.…

These cleansing wipes from Cle de Peau are a strong contender
If you aren’t new here, you may know that I am very slowly becoming enamored with Cle de Peau. That’s a lie. I raved after I first tried a product from the luxury Japanese skincare brand. I am already enamored and am just continuing to try more products from them. Today, I would like to…
