Documenting my Trials and Tribulations with Beauty Products
It has been almost year since I last posted my scalp and hair care routine, I thought it was about time to do an update since it has changed a bit since then! First things first, my hair is VIRGIN again! No more annoying dry, bleached ends. Alongside healthier ends, I find with my current…
Another “Youtube made me buy it” moment! The Paula’s Choice Resist Super-Light Wrinkle Defense SPF 30 seems to be a popular tinted mineral sunscreen in the beautysphere, and I wanted to give it a try on my acne prone, normal to dry skin. Information on Paula’s Choice Resist Super-Light Wrinkle Defense SPF 30 “A lightly…
Back in November 2020, I received a lovely package of I’m From’s Rice Toner, Serum and Cream. I’m a fan of their toner for how it instantly softens and brightens my skin while performing as a great supplemental moisturizing product. I even featured it in my Skincare Favourites of 2020! I’ve been rotating all three products in my skincare routine for a few months now and I’m ready to share my thoughts! Note I have already done a full review on I’m From Rice Toner so I’ll leave a link to that down below. In this post, I’ll specifically be reviewing their serum and cream.
Weather is in the negatives, the heat is on, and my face is feeling it! Come the colder, winter months, I need to adjust my skincare routine accordingly to prevent the uncomfortable feelings of dehydration and dryness. Fortunately, it isn’t as crazy and elaborate as some would think; Once the colder months come around, I…
Like many, DRMTLGY’s Universal Tinted Moisturizer SPF 46 first peaked my interest when I first saw Dr. Dray apply this on her face with no detectable cast, or tint! You can imagine once I found out they started shipping to Canada during Black Friday sales event, I picked up a bottle… or two (or three?). I have been using this sunscreen non-stop since I got it in the mail, and I am ready to share my experience! Friendly reminder, I am acne-prone, normal to dry. My current MAC shade is NC16/NC20.
I was quite intrigued by this colour while browsing Picture Polish’s website. “Pooh” is described as a “honey mustard holographic nail polish with holo flakes and will dry smooth on nails.” Kelli Marissa describes it as a “pretty ugly” colour. I like the colour mustard (hate the taste of the condiment itself), love holo, so I thought…
My last skin update back in the summer 2020, I was using 0.04% Retin-A Micro for 1 month, and started taking Spironolactone. Since then, I have done 3 professional microneedling sessions for my acne scars, got prescribed the highest strength of Tretinoin, and have experienced a few side effects from Spironolactone. For further context, please…
When I was first notified of La Roche Posay’s reformulation of their Anthelios Ultra-Fluid Lotion SPF60, my first thought was, “IS IT THE SAME AS SHAKA FLUID!?!?!?” In short, LRP Canada on their Instagram informed me it was the same formula. I looked at both ingredients list, and there is a difference between the two,…
The Neogen Probiotics Collection contains a variety of products that include fermented ingredients such as Streptococcus Thermophilus Ferment, Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate and/or Bifida Ferment Lysate. The primary goal is to build a strong skin barrier and aid our skin’s microbiome. Building and maintaining our skin barrier is crucial to skin health, for a weakened barrier is a common denominator in many skin concerns – for myself, that would be my acne-prone, dry skin!
I’ve never tried any Neogen skincare before, so I was very excited when a sunscreen was included in a generous PR package StyleKorean sent over! With all the hype around this brand, I did have an expectation for Neogen’s Dermalogy Probiotics Relief Sun Essence – that it would be a cosmetically elegant sunscreen with a ton of skin-beneficial ingredients!
