Quick review of Fresh’s Rose Deep Hydration Cream + Why you should give products a second chance
Got a chance to test Fresh’s Rose Deep Hydration cream. Let’s jump in immediately. I actually liked this I only used it for a few days, but I found it to be sufficiently moisturizing without being too greasy. The real reason I was interested in trying this was because I tried it before, but I…

Respect for the Water Drench Moisturizer from Peter Thomas Roth
I have to admit I was biased when I decided to try the Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Cream Hydrating Moisturizer. I saw that they promoted hyaluronic acid as the key ingredient.

The JLo Beauty serum was not good for me, and I assumed it was because of the fermented ingredient. This serum also features a fermented ingredient, which to me meant it also…

It’s springtime and my eyes are puffy. Here is how well this depuffing mask worked for me
I previously sang the praises of 111Skin on this blog. Big fan of the biocellulose they use to make the masks, particularly the anti-maskne one. I previously tried their Cryo Depuffing Facial Mask and decided that today was the day to try it again. Cryo depuffing facial mask $32 for one mask, $135 for 5…

Did Clinique Hydrosurge hydrate my dry skin?
I’ve got a quick review for you of the Clinique Moisture Surge™ 100H Auto-Replenishing Hydrator. Okay, okay, I must admit that I have tried this product before and wasn’t impressed. I’m giving it another try for this quick review. The texture is a very light consistency, definitely erring closer to gel than cream. (The brand…
