My Bae: Nature Republic The First Essence (Review)

I recently finished one of my favourite products ever: Nature Republic’s The First Essence. I bought this on a whim when I popped over to Korea back in November, and it had been burning a hole in my case/cupboard ever since. Y’all know how much I love Nature Republic. As far as high street brands go,…

My New Face Shop Goodies: Arsainte Eco-Therapy Tonic with Essential and Aqua Radiance Cream (Review)

  If you follow me on Instagram, you will know that recently I purchased a few lil’ goodies from The Face Shop. I detailed here why I was getting back into Korean skincare, after accidentally being on a hiatus from it for about 6 months. Oops. The good news is, this time has allowed me to reinvigorate my…

I’m Falling in Love With Korean Skincare All Over Again

Hey friends, Can you tell I’ve been missing Korea recently? First this, then this and now this. It’s all getting a bit out of hand, isn’t it?

My Korean Skincare Routine Revisited

Hi friends! The most popular post on this website by far is my post earlier this year on my Korean skincare routine. It seems that the whole world wants to know about the secrets behind Korean women’s flawless (and I mean flawless) skin – even if it means putting snail slime on your face. In my case, especially…

I Bought the IOPE Air Cushion XP and I’m Really Excited About it

Hi there! If you haven’t heard, cushions are all the rage in Korea. No, I’m not talking about those plush, comfy things you throw on your couch (although I am a huge fan of those too). Instead, I am referring to possibly the biggest Korean beauty trend since the BB cream (and subsequently the CC cream)….

Aaaaand It’s Another Nature Republic Haul From Me

Hi friends, I have now reached the point where I have a backlog of Korean cosmetic haul posts to write, and I don’t know how I feel about that. I mean, I mostly feel good, but I occasionally feel a bizarre twinge of guilt for spending so much (not that much) money on myself and…

Sample Sundays: Skinfood Black Sugar Strawberry Mask Wash Off (Review)
