Decorté Sun Shelter Multi Protection Very Water Resistant SPF 50+ – Review
It’s been a while, but I’ve been moving around Europe and haven’t got the time and energy to blog. I hope you all understand. I ordered this product before my voyages last August. However, I hadn’t planned on getting the Very Water Resistant version, the shop must have mixed it up with my favourite Decorté…

Happy Holidays!
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah! I believe this is the first time since I’ve started blogging that these two holidays fall on the same day. I wish you all a joyful festive season and a New Year filled with happiness and prosperity.

Aupres Extra Protection Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50+ – Review
Aupres are a brand by Shiseido China, and their lineup consists of copies of the original Shiseido products, which are made and sold locally in China. This product is based on the famous Anessa Milk, and Weibo users say that the Aupres Lotion has inherited the same technologies from Anessa. It’s unsurprising because the Shiseido…

Melano CC Men Anti-Blemish Brightening Gel & Essence – Review

I’ve been using the original Melano Essence for a few years, and these Melano CC Men products are great additions. The Brightening Gel contains a vitamin C derivative, vitamin E, and dipotassium glycyrrhizinate as the active components of the formula. We can also find antioxidant-rich plant extracts and hydrating ingredients like glycerine. The product is…

Biore Athlizm Protect Essence & Stick SPF 50+ – Review
The Athlizm sunscreens aren’t new—the line was launched five years ago—but this is my first time trying them. This Athlizm range has been designed for extreme conditions such as 40℃ and 75% humidity; it’s Biore’s most tech-loaded line. The sunscreens are equipped with the Tough Boost and the Outer Skin technologies, which help create a protective layer resistant to sweat, water, and friction. The Essence contains a mix of…

Uriage BARIÉSUN 100 Extreme Protective Fluid SPF 50+ – Review

Last year, Uriage released a new line of sunscreens. Those products are nothing novel; they are just repackaged old formulas. However, in France, anything goes, so they market them as ‘new’. I bought this sunscreen last year, thinking I was purchasing a new product from Uriage. I wish I had checked the ingredient list before…

Kao Nivea Super Water Essence EX SPF 50+ – Review
This new release by Nivea Japan stands out from older formulas. I stopped using Kao’s sunscreens about five years ago when they became sticky and gloopy. It was the same issue across all brands, like the gluey Watery Gel. But, since then, Kao have learnt a lot and improved their sunscreens. Again, we are starting to…

Dear, Klaris Midnight Blue Calming Cream – Review

This is the final review of the series. I should really write more often… Many of you have probably heard about this cream, as it has been popular for years. I used it for the first time this past year. The unique feature of this cream is its main component, azulene, after which the product gets its…

Goodal Green Tangerine Vita C Dark Spot Care Serum – Review

In continuation to the previous posts, this is another product that I purchased to test out last year. The formula’s main ingredient is the green tangerine extract, as the name indicates. It also includes hyperpigmentation fighters like arbutin, niacinamide, and liquorice extract. Of course, there are hydrating and soothing ingredients like centella asiatica derivatives and…

Beauty of Joseon Red Bean Water Gel – Review

Just like with the oil, I bought this gel last year. This product has an ingredient-rich formula with red bean extract as its key element, which might help with skin hydration and sebum reduction. It’s packed with hydrating ingredients like glycerine and dimethicone, along with amino acids and peptides, which aid in reducing skin slackening.…

Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Cleansing Oil – Review

Last summer, YesStyle had an anniversary sale, and I thought it would be a good opportunity to try this popular Korean skincare brand. This cleansing oil includes a variety of fats—soyabean oil is the main ingredient, but there are also olive oil, Japanese camellia oil, and a few others. They all hydrate to varying degrees…

Decorté Sun Shelter Water Resistant Sunscreen SPF 50+ – Review
I discovered this sunscreen last year and fell in love with it. It’s one of the best sunscreens I’ve ever tried, definitely one of the most cosmetically elegant ones in Europe without breaking the bank if compared to brands like Sensai or Dior. I am not sure if this specific sunscreen is still sold in…

Hada Labo Shirojyun Premium Medicated Deep Whitening Lotion – Review
In 2022, I switched from Hada Labo Tokyo’s toner to the Hada Labo lotions because Hada Labo Tokyo’s prices had increased. In my opinion, it doesn’t make sense to overpay for the same product. I’ve been using the Shirojyun Medicated Deep Whitening Lotion (rich/moist type) for over a year. It is aimed at drier skin types, but the…

UNO Dual Effect Cream – Review

Last year, I said I would write more regularly, but it didn’t happen; let’s hope I will be more productive this year. UNO is Shiseido’s high-street skincare brand for men. A few years ago, I reviewed their sunscreen. The active component of the formula is tranexamic acid, which soothes the skin and reduces skin discolouration;…

Merry Christmas!
I wish you all a joyful Christmas and a prosperous New Year! May the coming year bring you a lot of good health, happiness, and success.

RoC Multi Correxion Revive and Glow Capsules – Review

I’ve bought this product because of the positive reviews online. An ascorbic acid serum is a superb element of any skincare routine. However, I should’ve bought something else instead. The serum consists of 20% ascorbic acid trapped in dimethicone and silicones. There’s some water in it, but only a little. There’re also plant extracts. The…

OMI Brotherhood Sun Bears Active Protect Cool SPF 50+ –Review

When I first tried this sunscreen last year, I didn’t think that I would like it. But, as the heatwave came, and I did anything to stay cool, this menthol-enriched fluid came in handy. I regretted not buying more after finishing the bottle, so I had to repurchase it this year. The formula includes mineral…

Scinic Enjoy All Round Airy Sun Stick SPF 50+ – Review

I know I have been quiet for a while. The past year or so has been hectic for me. The previous December, I unexpectedly had to move, and then last summer, I caught COVID, which left me with a lasting feeling of lethargy. And once I stop doing something regularly, it’s hard for me to…

I wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. May the new year bring you peace, joy, health and prosperity!
