November Empties Review

New month means a new batch of empties to share. Here’s what I finished up in November:

I love snails. I loved playing with them when I was little, now I love putting their mucin on my face. I think it’s great that so many brands have figured out how to benefit from these little critters in a cruelty-free way. These are all the snail products I have. Any others you’d recommend?Continue reading “Sucker for Snail”

October Empties Review

Out with the old! Took me a while to get around to photographing them, but here are October’s empties. For reference, my skin type is normal-dry and my concerns are primarily around skin brightening and anti-aging.

Skincare Sorrow to Bath Blessing

What’s a product that didn’t work for your face but you ended up loving for something else? For me, the Biossance Cleansing Oil and my forehead didn’t get along — I couldn’t get it to emulsify well. But put it in the bath and boom: nice fragrance and skin that didn’t feel dry when emerging.Continue reading “Skincare Sorrow to Bath Blessing”

Skincare and Chill

Settling in for some TV and skincare, and using Versed Press Restart for the first time, eeeek! Confession: tonight I’ll be double cleansing over the kitchen sink. Do you haul your skincare around your home or do you always do it in one location like a sensible person? 😅

September Empties Review

I’m a big fan of crossing things off my TODO list, and finishing a product feels much the same way. Here were my skincare empties for September — show me yours!

Being a Financially Responsible Skincare Fanatic

BUY ALL THE THINGS, BABY, IT’S A SALE. Just kidding. The temptation is real, but buying everything all the time isn’t realistic. So how do you walk the line between splurgey skincare fun times and “omg I have to make this smidge of moisturizer last two weeks”?

Seven Skins for Success

I finally did it. I did 7 skins! Been doing 4 layers for a while but decided YOLO. Two layers of everything but the wee Cosrx toner. Definitely found myself needing less by the last layer.

August Empties Review

IT’S SEPTEMBER. HOW IS THAT A THING. But that means that it’s time for August’s empties. I think August was a record for me — two sunscreens, two moisturizers, two serums (small sizes, but still!) and an essence.
