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.

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…

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 Liposome Advanced Repair Face Serum – Review
This product won consumer awards in Japan and the UK in 2022, so naturally, I had to try it. If two distinct island nations agree on its effectiveness, there must be something to it. Decorté claim that this serum is the first skincare product to restore skin’s Lamellar structure, featuring liposome technology (lipid spheres that…

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…

Hakutsuru Medicated Daiginjo Moisturising Cream – Review
Hakutsuru are a well-established sake producer in Japan and overseas. However, their skincare range is not as popular as their spirits. I’ve bought this moisturiser swayed by positive reviews online, and I am not disappointed. The base of the moisturiser includes rice ferment extract known for its hydrating and anti-discolouration properties. On top of that,…

Shiseido Waso Yuzu-C Beauty Sleeping Mask – Review
When the Waso line was first launched a few years ago, it wasn’t too memorable; the neon-coloured packaging and ordinary formulas did not attract my attention. But, the recent revamp of the line has caught my eye. The new, more sustainable packaging and improved recipes have convinced me enough to give Waso a try, and…

Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum – Review
One of the beauty industry’s oldest and most iconic products, the Night Repair Serum, is known by all skincare enthusiasts. Many of EL’s competitors try to replicate it, but they simply can’t as the product is upgraded every few years with new, patented technologies. The formula of the product was curated around the idea of…

L’Oréal Paris Hydra Genius Liquid Care Moisturiser – Review
I am surprised that this line hasn’t been discontinued, considering the recent releases with hyaluronic acid by L’Oréal. Although the Hydra Genius line is nothing new, it’s still a voguish array of products with hyaluronic acid that will satisfy many. There are three versions of the fluid in the lineup, and the formulations are almost…

Cos De BAHA S4 Salicylic Acid BHA 4% Serum – Review
This product comes in a small, modest-looking ampoule, easy to miss while rummaging through web pages, but it packs a punch. The serum contains a relatively simple formula consisting of aloe vera leaf extract, which, I assume, also accounts for water in the composition as it’s not listed. The active component is salicylic acid at…
-
Dove Sensitive Mild Facial Cleansing Mousse – Review
This foam has been available on the Japanese market for years, I remember seeing it on Japanese Amazon each time I shop there, and finally, it’s available in Europe, though in select markets. The cleanser has a pretty straightforward formula – surfactants, glycerine, some niacinamide, one type of ceramide, plant extracts, and the iconic Dove…

Kate Somerville DeliKate Recovery Cream – Review
I’d wanted to try Kate Somerville’s products for a while, though they aren’t the cheapest and easiest to get in Europe. However, last year, I found a good deal on a set from KS, so I decided to give this brand a try. The moisturiser comprises a host of moisture-retaining ingredients such as fatty alcohols,…

Vichy Homme Anti-Irritation Shaving Foam – Review
Probably I should’ve included Vichy’s shaving foam in my last post about grooming products, but I didn’t it have it on hand at the time. So to rectify that, here’s a brief review of the product. I have been using it continuously for the past two years, as it’s simply brilliant. The formula is rather…

Meishoku Medicated Placenta Whitening Eye Cream – Review
I am not into eye creams; I spread near my eyes whatever I apply on the rest of my face, except for exfoliants. However, in winter, the skin around my skin is particularly needier than usual hence I reach for an eye cream from time to time. At the beginning of last winter, I bought…
