2021 Skincare Favorites

2020-2021 was a very introspective time for me and I felt like I was no longer excited about the green beauty community because of the continued lack of inclusion and diversity, and also the hypocrisy that a lot of brands demonstrated when it came to addressing certain social issues. I think a lot brands areContinue reading “2021 Skincare Favorites”

KraveBeauty Great Barrier Relief and The Beet Shield Review (an empties post)

I’ve been a fan of Youtube beauty influencer Liah Yoo for years and her minimalist skincare brand, KraveBeauty, could not have come at a better time! I love that the line is fairly minimalist, not only in its product offerings, but also in its branding and design. The two products that I’ve tried and usedContinue reading “KraveBeauty Great Barrier Relief and The Beet Shield Review (an empties post)”

Peace Out Acne Dots Review

I recently tried out the Peace Out Acne Dots that I had picked up from a past Sephora sale in 2019 and OMG. These dots REALLY do work! I know pimple patches have been around for some time, but for some reason I completely overlooked them and never paid much attention to them. Probably becauseContinue reading “Peace Out Acne Dots Review”

Tarte Knockout Tingling Skin Treatment Review

In an attempt to streamline my skincare routine, I’ve been trying to find my own “holy-grail” (HG) skincare items, which as a recovering skincare junkie, isn’t easy. One category I’ve really been getting into lately has been exfoliating acids.

Zue Beauty Exfoliating Facial Scrub and Daily Facial Moisturizer Review

If you’ve been following this blog for some time, you’ll know that I’ve been trying to reduce my overall skincare consumption this year. Resisting those tempting new skincare launches were hard at first, but I soon discovered that decluttering and using up the skincare products that I already own was more satisfying than buying newContinue reading “Zue Beauty Exfoliating Facial Scrub and Daily Facial Moisturizer Review”

Juice Beauty PHYTO-PIGMENTS Perfecting Concealer Review

For anyone that prefers the “natural makeup” or “no makeup makeup” look, Juice Beauty is an amazing mid-range organic beauty brand to check out. While I’ve tried several of Juice Beauty’s skincare items, I haven’t really tried many of their makeup products. I was most curious about their HYTO-PIGMENTS Perfecting Concealer since I had heard itContinue reading “Juice Beauty PHYTO-PIGMENTS Perfecting Concealer Review”

Blithe Vital Treatment Essence for Hydrating Review

I’ve been interested in trying Korean beauty products for awhile now, but I didn’t quite know where to begin. Thank goodness for Glow Recipe! They take out all the guesswork with their curation of the best natural, cruelty-free Korean skincare products. I love their informative reviews and when you read their skincare tips or watchContinue reading “Blithe Vital Treatment Essence for Hydrating Review”

Nubian Heritage Coconut & Papaya Body Wash Review

I picked up the Nubian Heritage Coconut & Papaya Body Wash  (13 oz) on a whim when there was a BOGO Free sale at my local Sprouts store. While I’ve tried other scents, the Coconut & Papaya scent is my current favorite! I’ve already repurchased one as a back-up during the past Black Friday sale. IfContinue reading “Nubian Heritage Coconut & Papaya Body Wash Review”

Tata Harper Regenerating Cleanser Review and Replenishing Nutrient Complex Review

I initially subscribed to a green beauty box called Esthoria Box (which has since been rebranded to botanic and terre) just to be able to try out Tata Harper products at a more affordable price point. Tata Harper’s products did not disappoint. First of all, the bright green glass packaging with gold accents screams eco-luxury andContinue reading “Tata Harper Regenerating Cleanser Review and Replenishing Nutrient Complex Review”
