A Long-Overdue Collection of Empties

I’ve previously written about my excessive and arguably unreasonable beauty stash, but I haven’t discussed my progress in a while. Well, I’m sure you’re pleased to know that I’m slowly but surely working through a number of products, and I wanted to share my thoughts on a few that I’ve finished recently. Do note: this is…

The Great Dupe: Missha’s The First Treatment Essence Intensive

A little while ago, I ordered a few things from W2Beauty that I’d had my eye on for a while. The main contender was a lil summin’ summin’ from Missha — The First Treatment Essence Intensive. I had seen this all over the blogosphere and, knowing that it was a really popular dupe for the SK-II…

Missha’s Facial Choco Cacao Scrub is a Chocolatey Dream (Review)

Hi friends, Long time no see! Recently I’ve been enjoying the shops in Korea even more than usual, hence my delayed absence. It’s a bit out of hand, and I’m having a great time. Last month I hit up Missha for a few items… and it hit my wallet back. It’s truly a wonderful thing! For…

My Recent Haul From The Face Shop

Hi everyone! As you all know, I am a through-and-through Nature Republic girl, and while I am pretty open to trying other Korean brands such as Skinfood, Missha and Holika Holika, one that has never really taken my fancy too much is The Face Shop.
