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: 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.

Photo Ready Skin with the Shiseido Ginza Tokyo VoxBox from Influenster

August 9, 2017

A few months ago, Influenster and Shiseido was kind enough to send me a box of some new products to try, the complete Ginza Tokyo line. I waited on doing this post because I wanted to make sure I gave it a fair shot and used it for a few months to really put it to the test.

The box included four different products to try: the Ibuki Smart Filtering Smoother, the Ultimune Concentrate, the Ibuki Quick Fix Spray and the Ibuki Beauty Sleeping Mask.

The 7 Products that Saved My Skin

September 11, 2016

Time for a bit of #RealTalk guys. I’ll be the first to admit that my skin is problematic. I’ve written about it before and how its pretty sensitive and acne prone. It hasn’t always been a struggle for me, as a teenage I never had problems with my skin. Aside from sensitivities (a lot of products would give me rashes but it wasn’t anything that a Benadryl couldn’t take care of) I never experienced any bad breakouts, just one odd pimple every so often. I think this is one of the reasons that I find it such a struggle now. It’s simply just not fun to have breakouts in your mid to late twenties like you’re 16.

In the past, I’ve mentioned some products here and there that I truly love and that had a drastic impact on my skin such as my favourite face masks and raving about Aide Bodycare’s facial serum (seriously, it rocks!), but I have yet to dedicate an entire post to these products so I thought that it was about time I wrote one.
