Hada Labo Tokyo Intense Hydrating Skin-Plumping Gel – Review
Some time ago, I reviewed a few of products from the Hada Labo Tokyo range. Today I am back with another product – Hada Labo Tokyo Intense Hydrating Skin-Plumping Gel. Hada Labo Tokyo describe this moisturiser as: ‘luxurious silky gel cream [which] combines the skin perfecting power of a serum with the intense hydration of…

Melano CC Intensive Anti-Spot Essence – Review
Rohto Melano CC Intensive Anti-Spot Essence is the reason why this review on Rohto Melano CC Essence Face Masks happened (if you haven’t read it yet, go ahead). I have been using this Essence for a long time now. It’s my most preferred vitamin C serum as it works, and it’s affordable. (By the way,…

Cure Natural Aqua Gel & Cure Water Treatment Skin Cream – Review
Cure’s Natural Aqua Gel is one of the most known products amongst Asian beauty lovers. I think it’s the product that initiated the cult of peeling gels. If you haven’t heard about it yet, soon you will. The other one, Cure Water Treatment Skin Cream was a complete novelty for me, I’d had no idea…

The Battle of UV Essences: Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence & Isehan Sunkiller Perfect Water Essence
I am back! It’s been a while since I wrote about sunscreens for the last time. So here it goes. I used both of these sunscreens, one till the last drop and the other not as much. I have decided to review these two sunscreens together because they are almost identical from the outside and…

Melano CC Essence Face Masks – Review
Melano CC Essence is one of my favourite vitamin C serums. However, I’d never tried anything else from the line, this why I bought the accompanying sheet masks from the line. I finished using the entire box of Rohto Melano CC Essence Face Masks on 18 August (I know this review is overdue) and the…

HA: Hyaluronic Acid aka Heatwave Aid – Review of 3 Hyaluronic Acid Products
This year’s heatwave is already here; the Scandinavia and Greece are on fire and many people have died. This week the temperatures went beyond 30 here. The entire continent needs some Siberian breeze urgently. When it’s hot, I get sweaty and grumpy. There is no way I will be doing a full routine. Maybe in…

CosRX Acne Pimple Master Patch – Review
This product may seem simple and unnecessary, that’s what I had been thinking about it before I bought it. I thought it was a gimmicky product, like many Asian products, or CosRx’s silk cocoons for exfoliating face – they do nothing by the way. But oh boy, I was wrong. These patches are a game…

SK-II Facial Treatment Clear Lotion – Review
Keeping with the theme of ferments, I will also review the SK II Facial Treatment Clear Lotion. It contains the ferment like the SK-II Essence, galactomyces ferment filtrate. However, this lotion is not all about ferments, but about skin clearing properties, aka chemical exfoliation. This toner contains four acids, AHAs: lactic, citric, and malic acids; BHA:…

My Top 3 Sunscreens: LRP Anthelios, Biore, Vichy
When it came to this post, I immediately knew about which products I would write. I use these sunscreens most frequently. Using a proper sunblock is a crucial aspect of my skincare routine, and at least one of these three sunscreens is always in my cupboard, ready to be used. Before we go to the…

YesStyle Beauty – Basics+ Beauty Sample Set || Review
I like to order beauty boxes; I love the excitement of receiving something new and unknown. I don’t prefer beauty box subscriptions as beauty boxes are usually aimed at females and include quite a lot of makeup products. I get it, girls are better shoppers, but can we have skincare only boxes? Anyway. I’ve wanted…

Hada Labo Tokyo – Review
I think everyone interested in Asian skincare has heard or come by Hada Labo (HL) at some point. They are one of the most popular brands in Japan and outside of it. However, today’s focus will be on Hada Labo Tokyo, which is technically Hada Labo’s Gokujyun line, but with a different name. I don’t…
