The Body Shop Mint Mattifying face mist
This year The Body Shop renewed their face spray line. I was an avid fan of the Vitamin C Face Spritz and liked their Vitamin E one too. The new line contains 5 different face mists for different skin needs. One that intrigued me the most and which I bought first to try is the…

Simple Hydrating light moisturizer
Simple Skincare is one of those brands that I have heard many great things about. It was recommended to me by my friend Alison and I already tried a few bits in the past. However for a long time Simple was not available in The Netherlands which made it harder to really gather my thoughts.…

The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid
A skincare brand I had been wanting to try for some time is The Ordinary. A while ago, the Internet was abuzz with how well this affordable skincare brand should work. The idea is simple: simple ingredients that are stripped down to its core at an affordable price point that just does what it says…

L’Oreal Hydra Genius Aloe Water
I have never tried any skincare by L’Oreal. Make up, nail polish, sunscreen, haircare, you name it I have tried, but I never delved into their skincare range. Until now. I spotted the new Hydra Genius Aloe Water in my local drugstore and was very intrigued. Since I couldn’t really test it, I was happy…

L’Oreal Pure Clay mask
From time to time, I like doing a good face mask. Mostly I like using it to give my skin an extra cleanse or to add moisture. It all depends on what my skin needs at that moment what I like to use. When L’Oreal launched their face masks, I was instantly intrigued but wasn’t…

The Body Shop Skin Defence SPF 50
A good facial SPF is a product I have struggling to find. I last reviewed one that was recommended to me by a friend back in 2015. While that worked fine in terms of SPF, it sadly didn’t work well on my skin in combination with other skincare or under makeup. It was too rich…

Why I use a face spritz
Face sprays have been an essential part of my skincare routine for quite some time now, but I don’t think many people actually use them. At least, I never hear many people talking about them and I think that’s why I would write a blog post about why I love them and why I think…

Simple eye makeup remover
I think I found my new favorite eye makeup remover! For years, I have been using the Garnier eye makeup remover and have not been convinced to change course from it since. Not until I found this. This is the Simple eye makeup remover and it is marvelous. Simple eye makeup remover

The Body Shop Intensely Revitalising Facial Oil
After trying and loving a €2 face oil by Kruidvat, I knew it was time to try a more high end version. Since my love for TBS skincare is well known by now, it should come as no surprise that I wanted to try one by them first up. I have tried serums that represent…

The Body Shop Skin Essence
After trying the Kiehl’s Iris Extract Skin Essence, I knew I wanted to try some alternatives. It was the first skin essence I tried and it was a product I had never used before. So what is a skin essence? It is a step in your skincare routine that you apply after cleansing but before…

Kiehl’s Calendula cleanser
Ever since trying a few Kiehl’s products after receiving some in a goodie bag, I have become quite the fan of many of their products. That said, however, you can always try more and Kiehl’s is really great with trial sizes. All you have to do is ask and you can try their products for…

Lush Breath of Fresh Air
A toner is a regular part of my skincare routine. In terms of skincare products that I have used consistently for years, then toner was one of the first items that made a very regular appearance. I have tried a few over the years, with some being more successful than others. How will Lush’ Breath…

La Roche Posay Toleriane Ultra Nuit
One of my favorite skincare lines of all time is La Roche Posay. I have tried a few of their day creams, most notably their Toleriane Ultra and Hydraphase face creams. When I last spotted the brand, I saw a cream I had not yet tried: Toleriane Ultra Nuit. Since I generally like their products…

The Body Shop Aloe moisturizer
A good moisturizer is a must for me year round, but especially in the fall and winter when my skin gets drier I need something that works on my dehydrated, sensitive skin. Sadly, my favorite moisturizer of all time, the Olay Total Effects moisturizer for sensitive skin has been discontinued and so I’ve been on…

Lush Lemony Flutter
Can we talk about a cult beauty product for minute? I don’t know about you, but if it weren’t for the online beauty community, this product would have not been on my radar. A cuticle oil or culticle cream is something that I cannot miss in my beauty routine though as my cuticles are dry…
-
Clinique Pep-start Hydroblur Moisturizer
Can I rave about a product that I am loving right now? I hope you don’t mind, because I think I have found a new skincare favorite. I already love the Clinique Pep-start eyecream and now I am trying out the Hydroblur Moisturizer and so far I’m loving it. I am usually into trying my…

Skincare favorites
I am pretty loyal to my skincare items, which is why I thought it was a good time to take you through some of my long time favorites. These items never leave my shelves and even when I am not using them at the moment, I always ensure to keep a backup around just in…

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream
A good facial moisturizer is hard to find. Not because there aren’t any products on the market, on the contrary, it’s mainly the overkill of products that causes the problem. One of my affordable favorites is the Olaz Total Effects moisturizer, but I have deviated from this a few times. Because wouldn’t it be great…

Clinique Pep-Start eye cream
When I posted my updated skincare routine, some people were impressed with the amount of products in it. And it’s true: my full skincare routine is anything but simple. Today’s blog post will focus on one of those skincare items that you may very well do without. You don’t need eye cream per se as…

The Body Shop Vitamin C Energising Face Spritz
I maintain quite an elaborate skincare routine, but it is one that works quite well. One item that I cannot see quitting any time soon is a more recent discovery: The Body Shop’s Vitamin C Energising Face Spritz. This face mist is not one to set your make up with, but definitely a skincare product.…

Pixi Glow Tonic
A cult skincare favorite that I had yet to try? The Pixi Exfoliating Glow Tonic. Many fellow bloggers rave about this stuff, but with my sensitive, dehydrated skin I wasn’t sure this would be my cup of tea. But after successfully using The Balm’s Time Balm Skin Clarifier in 2016, I decided to give this…

Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cleanser
It’s no secret that I have been trying and loving Kiehl’s products lately. Another product I had yet to try and test was the Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cleanser. Another cult classic that has seen many people rave about it. I had no clue what to expect though and I received this full size tube as…

Weleda Almond face cream
Weleda is an organic skincare brand of which I had yet to try. It’s one of those brands that I’ve seen around, but was never too interested in. Then one day I decided I wanted to try some new skincare and this brand was on sale and I decided: why not. I purchased the Almond…

First impression: Kruidvat Originals
Affordable skincare difficult to find? I think so. If there is one thing I like to invest in a little bit it’s my skincare. Good skincare will do wonders and I have been getting a lot of compliments lately about the way my skin looks because I finally found a routine that works. It’s extensive…

Updated skincare routine
It’s been more than 2 years ago since I last showed you my current skincare routine. And boy has it changed since then! The products I use and even my skincare routine itself has changed quite a bit. There are about as many products in it, but the products I use and what I use…

Kiehl’s mini review
Today I have a 3-in-1 review for you of a few mini sized Kieh’l’s products. I received these minis as part of a gift set and I figured it would be best to review them all together in one blog post. There’s the Ultra Facial Cream, the Creme de Corps body lotion and finally the…

The Body Shop skincare favorites
It may not have been lost on you that the past two days, there were no blog posts going live. That’s because I spent some time traveling and once I got back, I didn’t have the energy to write some new blog posts. So apologies for that, but today I’m back with new content! To…

MayBeauty The Incredible Face Gel
This past year my skin has become so much better when it comes to being sensitive and prone to allergic reactions. I truly believe that my new and improved skincare routine is the reason why and that has made me feel more adventurous to try new skincare products. When I discovered MayBeauty, a newly launched…

Philosophy Renewed Hope in a Jar
A brand that has served the world with many of its beauty product classics is Philosphy. I had never tried anything by this brand as it is on the pricey side, but I was intrigued after reading many rave reviews left and right. Hope in a Jar was their classic cream and it was reformulate…

Nivea micellar water facial cleanser
Who could live without a good micellar water these days? I certainly can’t. Even though the Garnier one is my favorite (or the blue capped Bioderma), I do like to venture out and try new things. Earlier this year, I picked up a bottle of the Nivea micellar water. Nivea products have been a staple…
