Comfort Zone seems to be a spa-focused brand that isn’t that easily accessible, at least not on big beauty retailers, and yet, I somehow ended up with two moisturisers from them.
Brand Review | Verso (Daily Glow, Night Cream, Super Eye Serum, Eye Cream)
Last year, when I was pregnant, I was barred from using retinol. Now I’m making up for lost time. That’s why I’m reviewing Verso, a brand that revolves around promoting the use of retinol in every skincare routine.
Review | Fenty Skin Hydra Vizor Invisible Moisturizer SPF30
‘Tis the season for sunscreen, they say (they wrong, because sunscreen is an year-round necessity, but summer seems to bring a peak in interest). I’m trying out some new moisturizing sunscreens and I plan to bring you on this journey by reviewing them all. Let’s start with Fenty’s Hydra Vizor.
Review | Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Sleepair Intensive Mask
Some reviews I write because there aren’t any out there on that particular product, some I write because the products are trendy, and some I write because they are either exceptionally good or bad, and I need to tell the world about them. The Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Sleepair Intensive Mask is a product that falls in the last category.
Brand Review | Paula’s Choice (Moisturizing Sunscreens, 1% Retinol Booster, 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant)
I’m going to give spoilers right off the bat: this brand is fantastic. Whatever the product, you can always rely on Paula’s Choice. And I’m not saying this because this is a hidden sponsored post (honestly, I wish) or because I’m trying to grab the brand’s attention (I’m aware of my irrelevancy), I’m saying this because Paula’s Choice is that good.
Brand Review | Dr. Barbara Sturm (Face Cream, Face Cream Rich, Clarifying Mask, Enzyme Cleanser, Glow Drops)
After La Mer, La Prairie, and other nicely smelling and heavily user-experience focused brands, there is a new type of luxury skincare in town: the one created by doctors. But the question remains: are they more effective? Scientific? Justified in being more expensive?… and are they made by doctors at all?
Brand Review | Avant (Ultimate Hyaluronic Acid DUO Moisturiser, Pro-Radiance Brightening Eye cream, Glycolic Acid Exfoliator, Harmonious Rose Quartz Mask, Pink Orchid Serum)
If you know about Avant, you’re probably a subscriber of a monthly beauty box. I don’t know anyone who has purchased directly from Avant, mainly due to the absurd price, but in case you’re considering getting a beauty box with an Avant product in it and you’re wondering if t’s any good, this post is for you. Avant: the luxury skincare brand that nobody ever paid full price for.
Skincare Empties – Tried, Tested… But Trusted? #2
I’m very overdue with my empties. I need to take out the trash though, I’m in the middle of moving, and if I bring empty plastic bottles into the new apartment that’ll be the last nail in my hoarder coffin. It’s getting comfy in there. Seriously, it’s scary.
Brand Review | U Beauty (The Super Smart Hydrator, Resurfacing Compound)
U Beauty’s philosophy revolves around streamlining and reducing the amount of skincare products one has to use day to day. It’s meant to reduce a 12 step routine into a 2 step one, I guess, because they only make 2 products for the face so far, and the price for both of those is enough to purchase a 12 step routine, two times over. At least.
Brand Review | The Inkey List (niacinamide, retinol, eye creams, oat cleanser & more)
Gender neutral, ingredient focused, inexpensive and TikTok famous. Sounds like The Ordinary good, right? Over the past few months, I’ve been testing out quite an assortment of The Inkey List’s skincare products to see if they can make my skin look as Gen Z as the audience they market to.
