5 Korean beauty skincare products I love

March 1, 2020

In the past year, I switched over most of my skincare routine to Korean Beauty (K-beauty) products and let me tell you, my skin is glowing! I’ve always been sort of skeptical whenever I heard people rave about how life-changing K-beauty products are, especially considering many of the price-points, but I finally bit the bullet and tried some out myself and I’m never going back.

So, I thought I would take the time to share some of my favourite products in case you’re looking to try something new.

As for where I buy my K-beauty products, I’m lucky to have a couple of stores/malls nearby where I can access these products: Innisfree, Sukoshi Mart, The Face Shop and some items are even available at Sephora. You can also get a lot of these products online. For reference, I’ve included my skin type as well!

Review: Sephora avocado sheet mask

October 21, 2018

I recently picked up three sheet masks from Sephora: avocado; pearl and green tea. I’ve never tried a sheet mask before and to be honesty I’ve always been a little nervous to do so because I have very sensitive skin so I usually stick to the clay masks that I know work for me, but I’ve always been curious and have wanted to try it.

I thought the masks at Sephora was a good place to start and then if I liked them and my skin reacted okay to them I would then venture out to try some of the more popular K-beauty brands.

Review: Rocky Mountain Soap Co.

March 10, 2018

I’m sure you all know by now that I have an obsession with skincare and soap companies. So naturally, I was pretty excited when I got the opportunity to try out some products from Canadian company, Rocky Mountain Soap Co.

One of my favourite things that I learned about them, is that all of their products are toxin-free and made with 100% natural ingredients. When I found this out, I was even more excited to try their products out.

Review: TrueSkin.ca + a giveaway!

December 22, 2017

‘Tis the season for giving… and for dry skin! I don’t know about you, but winter always wrecks havoc on my temperamental skin.

I have combination skin that is sensitive and can be acne prone. A lot of skin products give me rashes or cause my breakouts to get worse. I struggle with this more in the winter because my skin gets so dry and when I use moisturizer I’ll break out.

This was why I was so excited when Trueskin.ca offered to help a girl out and send me and one of my readers a skincare kit!
