[Makeup] Lancôme Juicy Shaker / Canmake Lip Tint Syrup: Dupes? -- Sarah

November 05, 2017 / BY Sarah Rose
Packaging - The Juicy Shaker is a glass bottle with a shaker shape. If you shake it you can hear a ball inside. When you open it the applicator is a big cone-shaped sponge. It does not directly dip in the product, there are just three tiny holes so that each time you get the perfect amount according to the brand. Personally I don't need to shake each time. The oil and pigment separates when...

[Review] The Ordinary - Lactic Acid 5% + Hyaluronic Acid 2% -- Sarah

August 22, 2017 / BY Sarah Rose
Packaging I like the Ordinary packaging, looks very professional, and even the name of the product gives you that impression. When your friends look at that and they think it's a prescription, I think that's pretty cool. I love matte glass and the dropper is good for this type of runny gel. It doesn't look cheap, but it is, love that. When I first saw their product, I actually thought they were going to be...

[Makeup/Swatches] Etude House - Play Color Eyes Palette in #CherryBlossom -- Sarah

August 15, 2017 / BY Sarah Rose
I bought this palette in July, therefore I was very happy when I could still find it on my usual online store. It also came with a discount so it ended up being 18$ and there are now a few left at 13$ on Beautynetkorea (be careful there are shipping fees now). Pink is my favorite color, and I goes well on my eyes as well, so I was super excited to receive this. Unfortunately...

[Review] Tony Moly - Intense Care Dual Effect Sleeping Pack -- Sarah

July 10, 2017 / BY Sarah Rose
I usually don't like Tony moly's skincare products. They often contain alcohol, fragrance, dyes, and so on. This one is not an exception. But even though I am trying to avoid those kind of negative ingredients, I received a sample a long time ago, before I even knew how to read ingredient labels and I felt in love ever since. ...

[Review] Bioderma - Créaline H2O AR, Solution micellaire démaquillante anti-rougeur (Makeup removing, anti-redness micellar water) -- Sarah

June 04, 2017 / BY Sarah Rose
Yep, that's a mouthful. You may know the regular micellar water from Bioderma, which partly made micellar waters famous around the world, but there is another version made especially for redness-prone and rosacea-prone skins. ...

[Review] Schmidt's - Rose + Vanilla Deodorant -- Sarah

May 22, 2017 / BY Sarah Rose
I have tried a lot of deodorant but they never quite satisfy me. Recently I watched a video from Sharla (her Youtube Channel, I can't find the video, sorry) who recommended this particular deodorant on Iherb. Due to her video it had been out of stock for a while but I have finally been able to order it. PackagingSmaller than what I thought, it contains 57.7 grams of product. Whether this is too little or...

[Review] Nivea - Mousse nettoyante onctueuse / Soothing Face Cleansing Mouse -- Sarah

May 17, 2017 / BY Sarah Rose
I was running out of my current cleanser (the Nature Republic Green Tea Deep Cleanser) and I did not have the time to order a new one so instead I went to my local supermarket trying to find one that would not be over PH 7. Since low PH cleanser tend to foam less they often come in self foaming bottle, so when I saw this Nivea cleanser made for sensitive skin, I thought I...

[Review] Nature Republic - Fresh Green Tea Bubble Deep Cleanser -- Sarah

May 11, 2017 / BY Sarah Rose
Packaging I think it was my first self foaming cleanser. I find it quite practical and super fast. I always use my hands or a foaming net to foam my usual foaming cleanser, but this is so much faster. (But less fun?) Ingredients Water, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Water, Potassium cocoul Glycinate, Dipropylene Glycol, Disodium cocoamphodiacetate, Sea Water, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Portulaca...

[Review] Pixi - Glow tonic -- Sarah

April 26, 2017 / BY Sarah Rose
I should have taken a photo while it was still full but I received from my sister halfway through (and instead I gave her the COSRX AHA 7 which was a little too strong for me). I could have taken a half full shot but I totally forgot. But hey, it shows I've used the whole bottle and you know I've had the time to completely test it... ...

[Review/Comparison] Innisfree cleansing oil: juicy apple and green tea - Sarah

February 18, 2017 / BY Sarah Rose
Packaging The packaging is pretty basic, nothing much to say about it. However for some unknown reason, although both bottle are the exact same somehow the Apple Cleansing oil was leaking the whole time I used it at the base of the pump. Ugh, WHY. I could have transferred the remaining oil into the other bottle but I didn't, I'm just THAT lazy. ...

How I managed my first bad reaction --- Sarah

February 15, 2017 / BY Sarah Rose
As you may know by now I have rosacea. So sometimes depending on the weather, what I eat or my stress levels I get flare ups from time to time. Flare ups are a reaction that provokes a vivid red color on one or two of my cheeks and my skin becomes hot. Yesterday I so happened to have a flare up (still don't know why though). As a consequence I decided to try a...

[Review] COSRX - Advanced Snail 92 All-in-One Cream --- Sarah

February 02, 2017 / BY Sarah Rose
Before I start with the review I would like to apologize if this review ends up being a comparison between this cream and the Mizon one. The truth is : once you have found your holy grail, you just can't avoid comparing every single cream to it. Moreover the creams are very close in terms of ingredients, aims and claims so it was inevitable that I would compare them. I hope you will like my...
