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 Ordinary
The latest skincare brand that’s got a lot of people very excited is The Ordinary. It’s been attracting so much interest for making quality serums and facial oils more affordable and accessible than its competitors and quite rightly so. Active ingredients such as vitamin C, hyaluronic acid and retinol which ordinarily (arf!) demand a high…

The Body Shop Superfood Face Masks: Himalyan Charcoal & British Rose
I turn another year older this month (*sob*) and as a vow to keep ageing at bay, I’m stepping up my game with skincare. Although I’m dedicated in the daily routine, I’m a slacker when it comes to face masks. As hard as it is to believe, putting aside a few minutes to prep before…

Sheenie’s Must-Have Christmas Gifts
We are in knee deep in Christmas gift guides and during the period I’ve been mulling over what to put in mine, it’s come to my realisation that my suggestions are the kind of things I’d love to receive. I think that’s the best way to approach present buying…what would I give myself? It’s going…
