Eye Creams – Why They Should Be A Skincare Staple
Eye creams have become such an important part of my skincare routine over the past five years, I shudder to think that I didn’t incorporate them into my routine years ago. I thought eye creams were just an opportunity for the skincare industry to make more money from us, but I was wrong. I wouldn’t be without them now! Since using them I have really noticed a difference in the fine lines and wrinkles around my whole eye area. The skin around our eyes is the thinnest on our face – and think about all the work this skin goes through on a daily basis from smiling, laughing, squinting and…

Toner Layering – How and Why To Layer Your Toners
I have talked about Double Cleansing and Serum Layering before on the blog, but have you heard of toner layering? I discovered this method from Annie on Instagram (@the_skincaretruth) she explained how she loves to layer her “I’m From” Rice Toner two to three times during her skincare routine. Since I am a huge fan of this toner (you can read a dedicated post about the “I’m From” Rice Toner here) I tried it out for myself and I loved it! I decided to dig a little deeper on the internet to find out all about toner layering. Here is what I have found, and how I layer my toner.…

Facial Sprays – Do We Really Need Them?
Today I am talking about facial sprays – also known as facial mists – and asking the questions: Do we really need them? Are they just a marketing skincare gimmick? It took me a long time to try these sprays as I thought they were just not a necessary part of skincare. However, I finally did try them and I haven’t stopped using them since. So, as you can guess, I personally love facial sprays. The two sprays I am currently using are Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs and Rosewater, and Linden Leaves Rose & Ylang Ylang Face and Body Mist, both of which I love. So, facial…

How And Why To Layer Serums
Back in 2018, I wrote a blog post called “Why Serums Should be a Skincare Staple”. Since then, my love for serums has grown even more so, and I am still very happy with the results I achieve from them. Last month I talked about the “I’m From” Rice Serum, and I briefly touched on serum layering, which is what I want to focus on with you today. Please bear in mind that I am not a skincare expert, these routines are simply what I have found work for me, and I like to share what I am loving in case it can help you too. So let’s see what…

I’m From Rice Serum Review
Last year I reviewed the “I’m From” Rice Toner, which I still absolutely love. Today, I am reviewing the “I’m From” Rice Serum – and spoiler alert, I absolutely love this product too! Serums have become a must-have in my skincare routine over the past five years or so. I even double-layer serums, which I didn’t know was even a thing until I joined Instagram and found a beautiful skincare community there (which has just been so lovely!). This is my second product from the “I’m From” rice line and it’s definitely not going to be my last! To get a background of the brand “I’m From” read here. Let’s…

*This post contains affiliate links I was recently lucky to receive these three beautiful Jumiso skincare products sent out by Bazzaal, a Marketing agency, for me to test and review. This is my first time trying out Jumiso products so I was excited to see how they stacked up, and I was not disappointed one bit! My love for Korean skincare continues to grow – keep reading for my thoughts on these lovely products.

I’m From Rice Toner Review
Toners have certainly evolved a lot from years ago, and are no longer the old astringent formula they used to be. They are more varied now, with gentle formulations. Recently, I have branched out and started trying different toners, rather than just reaching for my usual toner that I have been using for decades now – I am looking at you Johnsons Clean and Clear! While I didn’t have a problem with my old toner, I had been using it since I was a teenager (which is a very long time ago now) and my skincare needs have changed. So, it was time to go on the hunt for a…

Ole Henriksen Let’s Get Luminous Brightening Essentials Set Review
My love for skincare sets grows! I still feel there is no better way to try new skincare products out than a mini-size. It gives you the chance to experience it before investing in a full-size product. The Ole Henriksen Let’s Get Luminous Brightening Essentials Set has got to be the best skincare set I have tried to date. Having tried the Kate Somerville Hydration Warriors Kit and the Mario Badescu Kit, the Ole Henriksen set is my clear favourite. I love each of the products in this skincare set equally, which is such a bonus. I have become obsessed with Vitamin C in my skincare routine recently, so if…

Kate Somerville Hydration Warriors Kit Review
Following on from my last post (read here) about mini-sized skincare products, I thought I would review the Kate Somerville Hydration Warriors Kit. This kit is definitely much higher priced than the Mario Badescu Kit I previously reviewed. However, I still stand by kits in general, as I do believe minis are the best way to try out new products – particularly skincare items that are at a higher price point. This enables you to try before you invest your money into a full-size product that you may not like, or your skin may not agree with. So, on to the Kate Somerville Hydration Warriors Kit review. I will say…

Mario Badescu Anti-Aging Kit Review
If there is one thing I love in skincare, it’s mini-sized products. It lets you try out the product at a smaller size without investing in the full size – this can save you a lot of money if you don’t like it, or the product doesn’t agree with your skin. So a big thank you to brands that make mini-size products available. So, on to the Mario Badescu Anti-Aging Kit Review! Spoiler alert – this anti-ageing kit is really good!
