Finally! I am reviewing a drugstore product. It has been a while for sure. You probably started thinking that I don’t use any, but that is definitely not the case. I love my luxury beauty and find ways to get it for less, but that does not mean I cannot appreciate a good drugstore product….

The Ugly Truth
The pressure of being perfect and of doing everything in a perfect manner is becoming more and more absurd as well as unhealthy, don’t you think?

Huxley Secret of Sahara Oil-Essence
I first tried Huxley back in September when I got the Harvey Nichols Gift with Purchase from Autumn 2018. Back then I had no idea which products to choose from the store’s Beyond Beauty lineup. The products I had in mind to purchase were not qualifying products for the promotion so I decided to venture…
Murad Age Reform Aha/Bha Exfoliating Cleanser
A few years back when I first started investing more seriously in my skincare routine so that I could finally get rid of some nasty spots, I turned to acids. At that time they were not as popular as they are now, nor were they easily available. At least, not as far as I knew…

So Cult Beauty screwed me over…

Is an original Beauty Blender worth it?

Balmi Mint Lip Balm from I Love Cosmetics
I got my hands on the tiny little lip balm from Balmi by chance, to be honest. It was part of a beauty box that I purchased during a period of irrational anxiety that I was going through for my graduation ceremony. Who does that? Anyway, the Balmi Mint lip balm was just sitting there…
Grow Gorgeous Scalp Detox Review
I honestly don’t remember how I got my hands on this scalp detox products from Grow Gorgeous, but if I were to guess, I would say that it was in the Look Fantastic Beauty Advent Calendar in 2017. The reason why I am sure it is not the Grow Gorgeous products included in the 2018…

Cold weather is simply the worst.
