I’d had my eye on the Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Sukari Babyfacial for a while, and when Cult Beauty had an offer on I had to go for it! You may have heard of this product by now as it caused quite a stir in the skincare world, or you may have at least heard of…

I’ve been excited to review this product for a while now. I don’t know why I haven’t done it sooner but here it is now! I received this as a birthday present and I fell in love with it the moment I opened the tub, and even more in love with it the more I…

Pixi Glow Tonic – Why Is It So Popular?
I was recently talking to someone who feels nervous about using any BHAs and AHAs on their skin as they aren’t used to them and were concerned about how aggressive they might be for them. I have a higher tolerance at this point for AHAs/BHAs/PHAs etc, but it got me thinking: where did I start?…

IT Cosmetics
I have found my new holy grails in base makeup. For a long time I’d seen and heard about the It Cosmetics CC+ Cream, but as a heavy-coverage foundation lover I didn’t feel I could justify the brand’s price price for a CC cream. It was only after I received a sample of the foundation…
