I’m so excited to review the Banila Co. cleansing balm which was one of the first products I started using when I got into K-beauty five years ago. Cleansing balms are used in the double cleansing method which begins by removing makeup and sunscreen with an oil based cleanser like this one then following up with your typical foaming water based cleanser. Let’s get into today’s review!
It’s time for the Spring 2021 Sephora sale so I wanted to share my recommendations and what I’ll be purchasing from the sale! Sephora doesn’t have sales very often so now is a great time to restock on the basics as well as try out some new beauty while it’s on sale. Here are my current recommendations for the Spring 2021 Sephora sale:
I was excited to test the Pyunkang Yul intensive repair cream on my dry skin after hearing great things about it’s deeply hydrating texture. My skin type is naturally dry and I live in a dry climate. It can be tough to keep my skin hydrated in the wintertime when the air is extra dry without a good moisturizer on deck. Let’s get into today’s review to see if this cream passes the test with my dry skin!
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.
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. When I first started getting into K-beauty 5 years ago, I became infatuated with cleansing balms and they are still one of my favorite Korean products today. 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.
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:
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.
Sephora doesn’t have sales very often so I thought I’d share some products you need from the Sephora fall 2020 sale. It’s tempting to add a million products to your cart from Sephora because let’s be honest, don’t you just want everything lol! Here are the products I’ve been loving from Sephora lately to help you decide which ones are worth spending money on at the Sephora fall 2020 sale.
I found out about the Krave Beauty Kale-lalu-yAHA exfoliator on tiktok and I knew I needed it after hearing so many good things. I mentioned it in my August Favorites post so I’m happy to deliver the full review today. Between the great pun (Kale-lalu-yAHA like hallelujah) and the great testimonials, I’m excited to tell you whether this product is worth the hype!
