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!

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.
