Your stress is all over your face
You’ve heard people say, “You look stressed.” Perhaps, you’ve thought of the look of someone disheveled with a furrowed brow. That’s short term. Have you thought about the ways that stress really impacts your appearance from the inside out? Stress isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Short doses of it, like exercise or the feeling before…

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…

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. 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…

First impression: The Skin Reset Serum by Emma Lewisham
Today I am going to give you my first impression of the Emma Lewisham Skin Reset Serum. This will not be a thorough review at all, because I only used the product for two days. Here is the first thing that I noticed. On day one I put it on after washing my face. It…

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…
