Oils are great – grapeseed oil, coconut oil, olive oil, jojoba oil. Grapeseed oil is the oil I use the most. It’s amazing for your skin and it takes off makeup so easily. And there are many benefits of grapeseed oil for hair. Let’s get into that, shall we? WHAT IS GRAPESEED OIL? Grapeseed oil is pressed from the seeds of grapes. It’s known for its anti-inflammatory properties, it’s a great source of vitamin E, and it’s often used in…
I purchased Ole Henriksen Truth Juice Daily Cleanser about a month ago. After I had just finished another cleanser, and I was ready to try something new. I feel like when I stick with specific products for more extended periods, they stop being that effective. So every once in a while, I like to switch things up. The Truth Juice Daily Cleanser is one of Ole Henriksen’s new products, and since I’ve been using their Banana Eye Cream for quite…
The first product that comes to my mind when I think of affordable skincare products is Weleda Skin Food. You probably have heard me talk about the brand on multiple occasions on my Instagram Stories. That’s because I’m a huge Weleda fan, and I buy pretty much everything they make, even their baby line, which works really well for my kids. Although Skin Food has been around for many years (it launched in 1926), I found out about it a…
The first time I got my hands on this overnight resurfacing peel was a few months ago when my BeautyCounter consultant sent over some samples. If I have to be honest, I didn’t expect a lot from this product. I try so many skincare products, and a big part of them don’t live up to the hype. However, this was not the case. Shortly after I tried a sample of the overnight resurfacing peel, I ordered the full-size bottle, and…
Face mists are quite popular in Korea. I read that women carry a mist in their purse and reapply it multiple times throughout the day. To me, that makes perfect sense. Every morning I will apply my usual skincare routine, then a light foundation. However, midday when I feel some tightness in my skin, I will reach for my rose face mist. Since I have already applied makeup and skincare products earlier in the day, it doesn’t make sense to…
Do you know what is the correct order to apply skincare products? It wasn’t until I did a little research to find out that applying skincare products in the right order will ensure you get the most benefits out of each product. And if you are not following the correct order, you are probably not getting the best of your skincare regimen. I don’t know about you, but if I’m spending money on a skincare product, I want to see…
Ah, the fall season is upon us, and you know what that means for me – it’s time to bid farewell to those light and nude lipstick shades and embrace the bold, rich reds. There’s something truly magical about red lipstick; it adds a touch of elegance and refinement that can instantly elevate your entire look. Picture this: I’m rushing to get ready, and I reach for the classic combo – a plain black turtleneck, black jeans, my trusty boots,…
Did you know you can remove makeup with oil? Yes, oil. Like the olive oil in your kitchen cabinet. First, I’m one of those who won’t go to sleep with makeup on. I did it in my teenage years when I was too lazy to take the time to remove my makeup. But even then, my skin felt terrible the following day. So I quickly ended that bad habit. Sleeping with makeup on stops the renewal process and leads to aging. One…
