You know how I’ve been talking about how wild life’s been? Well, imagine me gesturing broadly right now. Given how truly off-the-rails things have been, I’m doing my July and August openeds in one post (it was the way to get them out before September, so it’s a win, right?). And yes, that is aContinue reading “July & August Openeds Reviews”

July Empties Reviews
July was rough. June was rough. May was rough. August is shaping up to be rough so far. Is there an end in sight in September? I sure hope so — if nothing else, there’s a trip to Japan. July involved a huge 10 mile hike, lots of mountain biking, and a trip to theContinue reading “July Empties Reviews”
June Openeds Reviews
Has my life calmed down? No. Has it stopped raining in Colorado? Also no. Am I managing to make it outside when it’s not? Yes. Am I managing to do my skincare routine more often? Also yes. Because skincare is both a self-maintenance and a self-care endeavor for me, I’ve been trying to make moreContinue reading “June Openeds Reviews”
June Empties Review
Nothing says that it’s finally summer in Colorado like suddenly emptying three sunscreens. It’s generally been pretty humid, though, due to tons of rain (and hail), which means that in some cases I’m pretty glad to have some of these heavier-feeling products out of my routine, even with my dehydrated, dry skin. Sunscreen ☀️ Dr.Continue reading “June Empties Review”
May Openeds Reviews
This past (non-calendar) month has been (quite possibly) the worst of my life, and so while the first half of May was going pretty strong, as these openeds and last week’s empties will attest, I feel like I could have been doing a lot more on the skincare front. I’ve certainly missed plenty of routines,Continue reading “May Openeds Reviews”
May Empties Reviews
I thought this month would be different: I was doing really good at writing reviews as I emptied products, at the beginning of the month. Then my life fell apart a bit, so this is coming to you a week late, after days of me trying to have the energy and focus to sit downContinue reading “May Empties Reviews”
April Openeds Reviews
It feels a bit like I wound up with a whole new routine this month, but given how I’ve renewed my skincare practice with new vigor, I suppose that makes sense. My skin has gotten even thirstier than usual with the shift towards spring in Colorado (though leaves are only hitting the trees now, inContinue reading “April Openeds Reviews”
April Empties Reviews
It feels like I was back to my old tricks in April, with over 10 empties. You would think that would mean a complete routine overhaul, but my routine is so long that you would be wrong. That said, while I spent April focusing on getting back into skincare (sometimes work wears me down, andContinue reading “April Empties Reviews”
Face Off of the Krave Beauty Sunscreens: Beet Shield vs Beet the Sun
If you’re on Skincare Internet, you’re probably at least aware of k-beauty sunscreens. They started to get particularly popular in the U.S. around three years ago. None had as much of a cult following as Krave Beauty’s Beet Shield (though Purito and Klairs sunscreens deserve an honorable mention). This sunscreen was known for its wearability,Continue reading “Face Off of the Krave Beauty Sunscreens: Beet Shield vs Beet the Sun”
March Openeds Reviews
Guess who’s back. Back again. A surprising amount of discontinued and reformulated skincare, that’s what! Great to have some old friends back in my routine, as well as try some new things. And stay tuned for next week, when Beet the Sun and Beet Shield go head-to-head (ish). Back Again 💖 Krave Beauty Beet theContinue reading “March Openeds Reviews”
