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!

Haul | Fresh Faced

FYI: These haul segments are going to be few and far between. This year, I've resolved to finish off products before buying any more. So, this will be the only one of these for a very long time.

But they do make me feel special. Hauls are like massive presents.

Until you realize that they're from you and you get a massive bill a couple weeks later.

What was going to be just a small shampoo purchase ballooned into a massive purchase.

See?

I blame/thank profusely Fresh Faced: a Canadian online retailer that stocks some awesome eco-beauty products.

In the bag:

• Rahua travel pack: shampoo+conditioner combo, voluminous shampoo+conditioner combo travel pack

• Kahina Giving Beauty: argan oil

• a bag filled to the brim with samples. I feel only slightly bad/greedy that I managed to get so many of these tiny, amazing wonders!

Review | Thayers Witch Hazel with Aloe toner

I once thought that toners were one of those "extra" products. But one day, I haphazardly swiped my face with a cotton pad, and looked down.

So. I was wrong.

Review | Skinfood 40 per cent shea butter body cream

Winter really does a number on my skin. It becomes super dry, rough and flaky. A friend of mine recommended this to me. Apparently, this cream had "saved her skin". Naturally, I dragged her to the nearest Skinfood to buy some.

Quickie | FOREO Luna

Quick post: Thanks to UPS I now have a new skin care gadget!

And, yes, it is for skin.

Friends, this is the Foreo Luna. Never have I been so excited to wash my face!

It even has an anti-aging component!

Stay tuned for a review soon!

Review | Salux beauty skin cloth

Backstory: I first purchased one of these two years ago after mindlessly surfing Makeup Alley, as I am sometimes wont to do. I had it stolen from me almost a year later at a Korean bathhouse. After that, a shower or bath just didn't feel the same. It was like I could never feel clean again.

Review | Etude House Wonder Pore freshener

This was one of my first Korean purchases. Etude, is quite possibly the most girly brand in Korea. I bought this product because I wanted to buy something from a store that was repped by a. a K-pop idol and b. not decked out in pink and frills.
