The High-performance Body Cream

The High-performance Body Cream

Hmm, is high-performance body cream even a thing? Well, that’s a very legitimate question, I would have the exact same reaction reading the title about a month ago, even though let’s be honest, a good body cream is not necessarily that easy to come across – it needs to smell good so you feel it’s worth the effort to put on, moisturizing enough yet without being sticky. My answer to this question has completely changed, when I finally started testing the Ameliorate transforming body cream…

I Tested 4 New Cleansers, and Here Are My Thoughts

I Tested 4 New Cleansers, and Here Are My Thoughts

I didn’t realize this before, but apparently, I can be a bit of  a cleanser snob. People often don’t pay much attention to cleansers, granted, it’s a product that usually only stays on your face for a minute (if that!) and then gets washed off the drain.

Now this is pretty exciting. You know my passion about a good, solid, jet black liquid eyeliner – they have the magical touch to elevate an otherwise rather boring look, and it’s my way of telling myself “all right, I’m ready to tackle the world today”.

It’s again my favorite type of post to write and read about: the empties! I was doing a bit of life declutter a few days ago, which always induces a sense of guilty in the midst of it, but not going to lie, I feel so much more refreshed and relieved afterwards, during the process of it, I realized my empty bin was about to burst with beauty trashes. So here I am, reporting back more empties, so I can throw all the bottles out…

My Favorite Japanese Drugstore Beauty Picks

My Favorite Japanese Drugstore Beauty Picks

I’ve had two weeks of super vacation in Tokyo recently, which was a much needed break mentally and physically. As part of the vacation, I obviously did a lot of beauty shoppings (dah, is anyone surprised?). However, taking in the lessons I have learned from previous trips, I have focused more on stocking up my favourite products, rather than going all out and buying up everything that’s new. Looking at the large pile of products I hauled throughout the two weeks, they are all from…
