Christmas already feels like a long time ago, but last Tuesday (January 5) was technically the twelfth day of Christmas. Depending upon where you’re from, you may or may not be familiar with the Christmas carol “Twelve Days of Christmas”, where someone recounts the many, surprisingly bird-related gifts their true love gave to them overContinue reading “Twelve Days of Sheet Masks”

Skincare Aesthetics
Let’s talk skincare aesthetics! Obviously we all want skincare that works, that won’t go bad, that’s nice to use, etc. But is there anything specific to packaging that will make you more or less apt to buy something? Any style of container that really increases your joy when using a product? Or do you evenContinue reading “Skincare Aesthetics”
A Pantone Perfect Potion
It’s too soon to give my opinion on this (so far delightful) Vitamin C serum, but I just want to point out that Good (Skin) Days’ “C’s the Day Serum” is nearly a dead ringer for Pantone’s 2021 colors of the year. Probably is a dead ringer if you get the lighting and editing justContinue reading “A Pantone Perfect Potion”
Cosrx Giveaway
CALL THE NEWSPAPERS, I FINALLY WON SOMETHING. Cosrx had a giveaway for their entire Cica line, and I won! It just arrived from Korea. I’m so jazzed, though I feel a bit bad for not knowing anything about the kpop fella who they partnered with for it.
Sucker for Snail
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”
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.

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? 😅
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.
Mostly Minis
I love minis. It’s a thing. I love being able to try something before I go all-in on the full-size. In that vein, my haul of mostly minis just arrived from YesStyle! Spot any faves or products you’ve been wanting to try?
