BANILA CO: Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm Original
I have finally finished my second pot of Drunk Elephant’s Slaai Makeup-Melting Butter Cleanser. The first time I used it, the balm impressed me. Now I am not sure I like how it feels. It’s because prior to starting on the second pot, I’d spent approximately 14 months using a different cleansing balm – the…

Dealing with maskne
It’s coming up to six months of living under lockdown and although most of us have adjusted to living a new kind of normal life, one of the issues this pandemic has led to is the compulsory wearing of face masks. As a result, like many, I am suffering from break-outs every time I wear…

Bubu Skincare sheet masks
Sheet masks are sheet hot but if you’ve never tried one or just dabbled in it occasionally, there’s no time like the present to start – after all, when you’re self-isolating during the current Covid-19 pandemic, you finally can sit down and rip open a sheet mask without any . I can’t get enough of…

Kao Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence Sunscreen SPF50+
Lately I’ve been wondering if my days as a beauty blogger are over. Hardly any of my peers are blogging, it would seem nobody reads blogs and the whole thing is so fragmented and disingenuous.

The oil-free and silicon-free magical potion has taken two years to develop and Alpha H is the first brand to use super ingredient primahyal ultrafiller (patented) Patch 20.

Drunk Elephant: Slaai Makeup-Melting Butter Cleanser
The arrival of Drunk Elephant to our shores certainly caused quite a splash. However, two things stopped me in my tracks – the price point and the fact that not all the products are worth their weight in gold judging by the rave reviews. I completely bypassed any influencer’s opinion who had received a generous…

Alpha-H shows no signs of slowing down with the latest addition to their arsenal of skincare, the Clear Skin Blemish Control Mask (with white clay)*. If you’re lousy at committing yourself to detoxifying your skin with a weekly mask, this one performs multiple functions and it only asks for 10 minutes of your time once…
