Trader Joe’s Spray Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF50+ Review
Body sunscreen is essential for me because I walk to work everyday. Although there are many sunscreens available in the market, finding a big bottle or can of sunscreen that doesn’t remind me of the beach (if you know what I mean) can be a bit difficult. When I discovered the Trader Joe’s Spray Sunscreen…

My Thoughts on Two Cleansers That May Already Be Gone: Holika Holika Prime Youth Black Snail vs Dior Capture Totale Review
In this post, I’ll be reviewing two cleansers that are hard to find, if not quietly discontinued.

Perricone MD No Foundation Foundation swatch
I remember not being impressed with the Perricone MD No Foundation Foundation. I only picked it up because it was on sale, and I was curious after seeing a beauty vlogger I used to follow use it in her routine. Eventually, I realized it’s quite similar to a tinted moisturizer. It is lightweight, so it…

Rosy Rosa 3D Beauty Sponge
I think I have found my HG makeup sponge. The Rosy Rosa 3D Beauty Sponge can be used either wet or dry. I personally prefer using it wet as it helps prevent my foundation from caking. It also allows for larger coverage and application at a time due to the sponge’s increased size when damp.…

It is a medicinal all-purpose moisturizer, particularly for dry and rough skin, that is free of alcohol, fragrance, and silicon. It contains hyaluronic acid, which, apart from moisturizing, helps heal wounds and reduce scarring. I first discovered Yukin Cream’s…
