What do hobbits and skincare have in common? Nothing. Everything. In a true hobbit fashion, I hoard lots of bottles, jars, and tubes, test them, and then share honest reviews with you. Stick around and have a look. This site uses affiliate links.

I’m From Mushroom Collagen Ampoule Review

This post contains affiliate links. Product provided by Wishtrend. I’m From is one of my favorite brands, and I always keep an eye out for new launches. Not everyone is a winner, but most products work well for my combination skin. I had to try the new Mushroom Collagen Line - the ampoule and the cream. Originally, I thought about publishing just one article talking about both products. However, my experience with them is quite different, so I thought each deserves its own de

Papa Recipe Collagen Peptide Serum Review

This is a sponsored review with affiliate links. All opinions are my own. I love a good serum. It can take a skincare routine to a whole new level. Papa Recipe’s Blemish Serum was impressive, both in efficacy and size (review here), so when the brand asked if I would like to test some of their newest formulas, I happily agreed. One of the four new launches, Papa Recipe Collagen Peptide Serum, is available on the brand’s ABT global mall (ABT stands for “all beautiful things'')

Mediheal Air Packing Pink Wrap Mask Review

This post contains affiliate links. Product provided by Plump Shop. A great sheet mask is often a perfect ending to a long, stressful day. One of my favorite things is to soak in a warm bath while watching YouTube videos and sheet masking - it’s so relaxing. One of my recent mask loves is Mediheal Air Packing Pink Wrap Mask, available on Plump Shop (save 25% on everything from their September box with code lucy25) and Amazon. Mediheal Air Packing Pink Wrap Masks are made with

It’s Skin Collatoning Toner Review

This post contains affiliate links. Product provided by By Sophie beauty box. It’s Skin Collatoning Toner is made with the Collatoning Complex - a blend of hydrolyzed collagen and four flower extracts to firm and rejuvenate the skin. I know that collagen in skincare is a somewhat controversial topic since it’s not clear if it can actually penetrate the skin. I try to judge the product by what it does for my skin and not so much by the marketing claims. While I don’t expect co

AHC Youth Lasting Real Eye Cream for Face Review

This post contains affiliate links. Product provided by Oshen Skin. Eye cream is a bit of a controversial topic in the beauty community. On the one side are people who adore eye creams and see them as necessary. The other side claims over and over that eye creams are just overpriced moisturizers and any other facial cream will do. I’m somewhere in the middle of those extremes. Is eye cream strictly necessary? Maybe not. Sure, a plain facial moisturizer will work, especially i

Elensilia-CPP Collagen Eye Cream Review

This post contains affiliate links. I’m very picky about eye cream - my ideal product would be both effective and pleasant to use. I despise the feeling of heavy, greasy creams on the eyelids. Elensilia-CPP Collagen Eye Cream exploded all over social media after release. I got so many questions about it in my Facebook group. Naturally, I was ecstatic to get it in a PR box (Sophie’s box) to try. It’s sold on eBay, iHerb (save with my code CWN6107), Amazon, and YesStyle (save

Yadah All Day Collagen 3 in 1 Lotion Review

I love Yadah products so much. My first encounter with the brand was completely accidental - some products were available at a discount in my local TJ Maxx. Now I hunt for them and snatch them up at first opportunity. One of my favorite finds was Yadah All Day Collagen 3 in 1 Lotion. You can see it in use in my very first YouTube video ever (it’s a little cringey, sorry about that). The funny part is I never got to finish that bottle - my mom was visiting and tried it. She li

XYCOS Pink Collagen Toner Review

I have an unhealthy obsession with toners. I don’t know why, but it’s the easiest step of Korean beauty routine to hoard. At one time, I had 8 different ones in my rotation; I’m too afraid to count now. When XYCOS offered to send me one of theirs to try, of course I said yes. XYCOS Pink Collagen Toner promises to smooth out wrinkles and make the skin soft and radiant. The 120 ml bottle contains a clear (maybe slightly pink, but looks clear to me) gel. I enjoy the convenient p

Royal Skin PRIME EDITION Anti-Wrinkle Bio Cellulose Mask Review

Bio cellulose is the queen of sheet mask materials. It’s a completely natural substance that actually helps the serum of the mask work better and penetrate deeper. And the fit is impeccable (and very pleasant to the skin). The Royal Skin PRIME EDITION Anti-Wrinkle Bio Cellulose Mask is made with fermented coconut water and promises a plethora of benefits. It’s available on Facetory. Let’s look at some of the active ingredients: Adenosine - a yeast derived anti-aging, soothing

Beyond Intensive Ampoule Collagen Sheet Mask Review

Collagen is a very important skin building block that has anti-aging and firming effects (and who doesn’t want that?). Sadly, with time and environmental factors, collagen production slows down and we start to see sagging, first lines and other unpleasant signs of age. I bought this Beyond Intensive Ampoule Collagen Sheet Mask on Facetory, but I can’t remember now if it came in one of the subscription boxes (read about those here) or if I got it separately. I really do buy a

Elizavecca Green Piggy Collagen Jella Pack Review

One of the things that completely blew my mind when entering the world of Korean beauty is that they do not differentiate between day cream and night cream. I was so used to the Western standard of having a separate jar just for nights. Well, there’s something even better than night creams out there - sleeping packs! If you are not familiar with the category, it’s basically a special skin treatment to be used at night, but not daily. The instructions differ by product, but mo

Manyo Factory 4GF Eye Cream Review

Aging is a … witch! Thankfully, there are many tools of varying intensity, invasiveness and cost to help with all the age-related cosmetic issues. Korean beauty and skincare offers innovative technologies at fairly reasonable prices, especially when compared to Western alternatives. One of these innovative products is the Manyo Factory 4GF Eye Cream. The cream contains 4 different growth factors to care for tired, sagging skin. It’s clinically proven to reduce wrinkles and ma

Welcos Egg Tightening Cleansing Foam Review

I bought this cleansing foam mostly for my husband, but as you may remember from this review about skincare for men, he’s not necessarily the best at describing cosmetics. So I had to test it on myself as well. The Welcos Egg Tightening Cleansing Foam promises to gently wash away dirt and oil without stripping the skin, all while making the pores less noticeable. Sounds good - husband has some impressive pores, and there’s no limit to perfection when it comes to my own. This

Dr.Jart+ Dermask Wrinkless Solution Body Heat Thermosensitive Cellulose Gel Mask Review

I love love loooove a good sheet mask. If you’ve read about my typical day, you already know that I’m a pretty busy person, but I will make a special effort to squeeze in some masking time (even if it’s while I’m making dinner or writing the next review). I have resisted buying Dr.Jart+ products for months because of the higher cost compared to my usual ~$1/mask choices. But then I finally caved. And they are so worth it! The best prices are on eBay and Amazon. The cellulose

Anskin Modeling Mask Collagen Review

I have a wonderful husband. When my Korean skincare “illness” started, he quietly and without complaints observed the growing mountains of jars and tubes on the sink, next to the sink, under the sink, in the fridge, in the closet… And for my last birthday, along with other presents, he gave me an Amazon gift card, saying with a hint of doomed acceptance in his voice “I know you’ll find how to spend it”. And I did :) I have fair, combination skin with an oily t-zone and dry-to
