Empties | May

One of my skin resolutions this year was to use up my products.

Like, completely.

It's usually very hard for me.  I buy something, I fall in love, I obsess over it for a minute and then the love is gone.

Half of the product still intact. Untouched. Casually tossed over for the next new thing I've fallen in love with.

I'm over it.

So I'm really excited! This month I finished off 5 products!

Review | The Face Shop New Zealand Volcanic Clay Blackhead Clay Nose Pack

Phew. That's certainly a mouthful, isn't it?

Blackheads are annoying, aren't they? Since I was 11, I've been plagued by them. Annoying black freckles scattered all over my nose.

I've made it one of my missions to find a way to banish them for good.

Enter The Face Shop's New Zealand Volcanic Clay Blackhead Nose Pack.

Review | Nature Republic Pearl de Caviar Silky Foam Cleanser

I was really excited to receive – by way of a Nature Republic promo – a deluxe sample of this cleanser with my sun cream.

I mean, wouldn't you be with "caviar" in the description?!

A windfall for good skin

Over the weekend I did some cleaning and found some ancient gift cards from Skoah.

I took them to the store hoping that I could still use them, but not really expecting anything. (I've had these for at least two years, after all.)

But, miracles do exist! The sales associate rang them through and they work!

This must be what winning the lottery feels like.

Check back for my adventures with facials soon!

Review | Foreo Luna (Sensitive)

It's been a long time since a post, let alone a proper review. While I'd love to attribute it to making absolutely sure that this is a thorough review – which isn't exactly wrong – it's also due to general laziness.

Anyway!

I received this about six months ago.

I'm a huge sucker for anything novel, luxe and technology-based. The Foreo is a little bit of each. I wasn't sure that I should buy this, because I already have the Clarisonic Mia.

After all, on paper, they sound like the same product.

A tool for deep cleansing. Designed to give gentle exfoliation. Leaves your skin super smooth.

But it had a lot going for it that the Clarisonic Mia didn't seem to have.

Haul | Nature Republic

Let me start by saying: I'm not a huge Nature Republic fan.

(I'm more partial to Innisfree, and that's not just because Lee Min Ho is their spokesman.)

But, summer is here and I really, really love its sun products.

I stocked up!

Below is Nature Republic's aloe vera gel and the eco-mild sun liquid. Both of which I'm big fans of.

And samples! I love samples!
