Dr.Ceuracle 5Α Control No-Sebum Sun Lotion Review

This post contains affiliate links. Product provided by Oshen Skin. It seems like every brand is releasing multiple SPF formulas this year, which is awesome because I see sun protection as the most important step in any skincare routine. I love testing sunscreens and telling people about them in the hopes that eventually everyone finds a formula they love.

This post contains affiliate links. Product provided by AXIS-Y. Every once in a while, there comes a brand that seems to hit the mark for my skin with every product. I’m starting to believe AXIS-Y is one of those brands. I’ve tried their sunscreen, wash off masks, sheet masks, and other products - they have all been great. Read my blog reviews by clicking #AXISY (and check their Instagram for more info about products). The latest thing I’ve been trying is AXIS-Y Dark Spot Cor

Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow PHA+BHA Pore-Tight Toner Review

This post contains affiliate links. Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow PHA+BHA Pore-Tight Toner combines active pore-tightening ingredients with hydrating components for gentle yet effective results. The main reason I bought this toner is to help with pore size (the actual size cannot be altered, but the appearance can be improved). The toner is available on the brand’s official website and on Amazon. The opaque, pinkish liquid is slightly thicker than water and very fragrant. It sm

Dixionist Cyforest™ Essence Infusion Cream Review

This post contains affiliate links. Product provided by By Sophie box. Lately, I’ve been really appreciating good moisturizers. I used to shy away from creams since my skin is combination, but now I understand that a good quality one can make everything visibly smoother, plumper, and more moisturized. One of my recent discoveries is Dixionist Cyforest™ Essence Infusion Cream, available on eBay. It’s a new to me brand (I also have their toner and like it) that’s an off-shoot o

This post contains affiliate links. Product provided by Wishtrend. My skincare routine changes based on skin needs and even the time of the year.

CosRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream SPF50 PA+++ Review

This post contains affiliate links. I’m not a very “high maintenance” person - I can live without makeup, jewelry, long baths, or any number of other things. But I cannot and will not live without sunscreen. I did my full skincare routine before heading to the birth center to have my son, and I applied sunscreen before leaving there to bring him home. I take my SPF seriously. While I usually prefer mineral-only sunscreens, lately I’ve been branching out into hybrid and chemic

Silcus Derma Healing Silk Creamer Review

I have combination skin with oily zones and dry areas. For years, I either used no moisturizers at all, or went for very light ones. Now as I get more and more knowledgeable about skincare in general and my skin in particular, I appreciate a good moisturizer in my routine. We’ve had record low temperatures and snowfall in Nebraska this year, and all of that has taken a toll on my skin. I’ve been using Silcus Derma Healing Silk Creamer as part of my evening skincare routine. I

The Orchid Skin Water Powder Cushion Review

I have combination skin with an oily t-zone and am always on the hunt for products that can make that oiliness behave. It’s a delicate balance - I want matte skin that still looks healthy and isn’t dry. Recently I got the coolest product, something unlike anything else I’ve tried before - The Orchid Skin Water Powder Cushion. It’s available on* YesStyle (get extra savings with reward code KBHOBBIT), Stylevana, and Amazon. I won mine in a review giveaway. The Orchid cushion is

By Wishtrend Acid-duo 2% Mild Gel Cleanser Review

I love cleansing my face in the evenings. There is something special, relaxing, and almost magical about washing away all the makeup, sunscreen, and responsibilities of the day and getting ready to pamper the skin with hydrating and moisturizing steps. Not to mention that by the time I get to do my skincare routine, the children are asleep and the house is pleasantly quiet. Recently, I’ve had the pleasure to test out By Wishtrend Acid-duo 2% Mild Gel Cleanser. It promises to

AXIS-Y Complete No-Stress Physical Sunscreen Review

AXIS-Y is a new to me brand of Korean skincare that uses high quality ingredients. 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. I chose a few of their products (watch the unboxing video here) to try and see if they

Etude House Face Blur Mattifying Review

I love face primers. Before I really figured out my skincare routine and made my combination skin behave more like “normal” skin, I used a primer every day (without foundation) to keep the oil at bay and have the face look even and not greasy. Now I dabble in makeup, especially when filming for YouTube, and decided to explore some more kbeauty primers. I’m currently using Etude House Face Blur (Mattifying). It was sent to me by Jolse and is available* on their website. Etude

TIA’M Vita Refre-C Toner Review

I appreciate vitamin C products, but often struggle keeping them in my routine because they oxidize quickly. That process can often start before the item even makes it to my shelf. TIA’M Vita Refre-C Toner tackles that problem head on with their innovative packaging design. The TIA’M Vita Refre-C Toner came to me in one of By Sophie kbeauty boxes.

By Wishtrend Acid-Duo Hibiscus 63 Cream Review

I used to not appreciate moisturizers much. For years, I thought I didn’t need any since my skin is combination / oily (wrong). Then I finally embraced them, but was not as excited about creams as I was about toners and other skincare routine steps. Now I can officially say that a great moisturizer can be a game changer. I chose By Wishtrend Acid-Duo Hibiscus 63 Cream to try because it seemed interesting. It’s a daily moisturizer with gentle exfoliating LHA and PHA. The cream

Rovectin Skin Essentials Double Tone-up UV Protector SPF50+ PA++++ Review

If someone forced me to choose just one skincare step (which would be cruel) to use for the rest of my life, I would choose sunscreen in a heartbeat. I have very fair skin that burns easily, plus the UVA rays are present all year and can really age the skin. And, of course, the skin cancer risk is a real concern. Because of my unhealthy (or healthy, rather), obsession with sunscreens, I’m always trying new ones and am constantly on the hunt for something great. I prefer miner

I think mugwort is the new centella asiatica - it’s an amazing ingredient, so it makes perfect sense that more and more brands are getting on board and adding it to their formulations. You can often find it in products designed for acne prone, irritated skin. AXIS-Y is a new to me brand of Korean skincare that uses high quality ingredients. 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 d
