Krave Beet Shield Sunscreen Review

Krave beet shield sunscreen

After seeing the Krave beet shield sunscreen sell out over the summer due to Tiktok, I knew I had to try this sunscreen out for myself! I was skeptical to see a product so hyped up.

I Dew Care Vitamin C Serum Review

I Dew Care Vitamin C Serum

Since Vitamin C serums are great for glowing skin, I was excited to try the I Dew Care Vitamin C serum. I used to use The Ordinary Vitamin C suspension 23% about a year and a half ago, but I stopped because the formula really irritated my skin. When I Dew Care gifted me the Bright Side Up serum, I was cautiously optimistic that I could reintroduce Vitamin C into my routine again. 

Glow Recipe Papaya Cleansing Balm Review

As a big fan of double cleansing, I was really excited to try the Glow Recipe papaya cleansing balm. I love using cleansing balms every night to remove my makeup and sunscreen.

I’m going to do a brief overview of double cleansing and cleansing balms for those of you who are new to K-beauty or cleansing balms.

A Complete Guide to Slugging

Guide to slugging

After slugging for the past 3 months, I had to write a complete guide to slugging after seeing amazing results in the hydration of my skin. I learned about slugging from beauty writer, Charlotte Palermino, on tiktok. The idea of applying petroleum jelly to my skin sounded a bit greasy for my taste before I tried it. However, after trying slugging on my face, I was wowed by the results it offered for my dry skin. Here’s a complete guide to slugging:

A’pieu Pure Block Sunscreen Review

A'pieu pure block sunscreen

As an avid sunscreen fan, I decided to try the A’pieu pure block sunscreen after a recommendation from my sister. Korean sunscreens have a special place in my heart because they have a lightweight consistency and are available for an extremely affordable price. Since I wear sunscreen everyday, I refuse to deal with any heavy or greasy sunscreens because they feel gross. Here’s my review of the A’pieu pure block sunscreen to find out if it lives up to the lightweight and affordable hype of K-beauty sunscreens:

I knew it was time to try the Farmacy honey halo cream after hearing great things about Farmacy Beauty. I have very dry skin and I live in a desert climate so rich, hydrating creams are a must. Since the brand described this cream as “ultra-hydrating”, I needed to test it out for myself.

Lancome renergie dark spot correcting cream

I was excited to get my hands on this fancy Lancome renergie dark spot correcting cream because I don’t have the chance to try luxury like this very often. This cream was provided to me by my work so this was not purchased with my own money, but all opinions are my own as per usual.
