Oloa Pufa Hydra Relax Cream Review

This is a sponsored post with affiliate links. Product provided by Be Mused Korea. A moisturizer can make or break a skincare routine. Too thick and it might congest the skin or make it look oily. Too light and it won’t lock in all the lovely hydrating layers that come before the cream. I like testing new formulas and hopefully helping my readers find their next perfect product. Oloa is a new to me brand that is based on years of biotech microalgae research. I had major skinc

SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Sleeping Pack Review

This is a sponsored post with affiliate links. All opinions are my own. I first got interested in SKIN1004 because of their viral centella ampoule (review here) and toner (review here). Earlier in 2022, I scored a huge haul of some of their other products (watch the unboxing reel here) and have been slowly working my way through them. It’s been a great experience getting to know more of their offerings beyond the most famous ones. SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Sleeping Pack features so

COSRX Pure Fit Cica Cleanser Review

This post contains affiliate links. Product provided by CosRx. Cleansing used to be a chore, a necessary evil that served one purpose only - to get the grime of the day off my face. But now, especially in the last two years or so, brands keep releasing wonderful, gentle cleansers, and I actually enjoy the process of face washing. It became a relaxing nightly ritual to end the work-filled part of my day. One of my favorite foaming cleansers of 2021/2022 is CosRx Pure Fit Cica

SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Air-fit Suncream Plus SPF50+ PA++++ Review

This is a sponsored post with affiliate links. All opinions are my own. I take sun protection seriously and enjoy discovering new formulas. Back in the day, using SPF was a struggle, a necessary evil typically complete with a sticky, greasy finish and a terrible smell. But the world of Korean beauty brought us wonderful products that are a pleasure to apply. I’m currently using SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Air-fit Suncream Plus SPF50+ PA++++.

Manyo Factory Our Vegan Heartleaf Cica Cleansing Foam Review

This post contains affiliate links. Product provided by Plump Shop. I love cleansing my face. In general, my morning routine is all about protecting the skin, but the evening ritual is as much about actual skin benefits as it is about enjoying the process and relaxing. Cleansing is the first step of washing away the day and preparing for a restful night (unless the toddler sleeps like crap, which is always a possibility).

AXIS-Y Artichoke Intensive Skin Barrier Ampoule Review

AXIS-Y is quickly becoming one of my favorite Korean skincare companies. What really stands out is the brand’s focus on the climate and its effects on the skin. Their 6+1+1 Advanced Formula skincare (611) was developed specifically for people with acne-prone, oily skin who live in a humid climate. 611 means 6 key / active ingredients, 1 core ingredient, and 1 patented technology. You can read my reviews for their cleanser, mugwort mask, and sunscreen by clicking on the links.

Lisse Derm AC Control Spot Review

I’ve been fairly blessed when it comes to skin, yet breakouts still happen. Pimple patches come to the rescue, but there are only so many in each package, and they aren’t the most convenient thing if a large area is affected. Lisse Derm AC Control Spot came to me in a By Sophie Beauty Box (a box sent out to selected influencers to introduce them to the latest kbeauty finds). Watch the unboxing of the latest one here.

Rovectin Conditioning Cleanser Review

One of my favorite things about Korean beauty is the constant innovation. Bored with hundreds (thousands?) of existing brands? No worries, new ones are popping up all the time. Rovectin is one of these new-to-me brands. It quickly got my attention solely based on the fact that Wishtrend carries it. So far, I haven’t met a product sold on Wishtrend that wasn’t amazing and high quality. My latest #rovectin acquisition is their Conditioning Cleanser. It’s sold on (you guessed it
