April Empties Review

Sometimes I worry about how much skincare I buy, then I see how much skincare I go through and I think “nope, seems fine.” Here’s what I emptied in April! Cosrx Cica Serum I won this serum (and the rest of Cosrx’s cica line) back in late November/early December. This serum isn’t as immediately calmingContinue reading “April Empties Review”

March Openeds Reviews

I evidently broke all my rules about how often one should start new products this month — I usually say no more frequent than once per week. But this month saw a lot of old favorites for me (Krave Beauty, Versed, Inkey List, Good Skin Days) and my skin has been really thirsty and moreContinue reading “March Openeds Reviews”

March Empties Review

Another month down, another bin full of empties. I don’t know how I keep ending up with so many — I think this month is an official record. 17 empties in total? Granted, two are body skincare and five were minis and one was also in use by my husband but now I’m just rationalizing.Continue reading “March Empties Review”

(Though toContinue reading “Cocktailing: Guide to a Skincare Nightcap”

December Openeds Review

I’ve never done this before, but I wanted to share my initial review of the products OPENED in December. I’m trying to coin the hashtag #skincareopeneds but I doubt it will stick. (But heyyyy if you want to roll with it, please do.) Anyways, this looks like a lot but I had tried two before, and amContinue reading “December Openeds Review”

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”
