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…

Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate serum
Kiehl’s has been a skincare brand I’ve been curious after for a long time. I’ve heard such great things about their products and thought myself lucky when I received some of their products for free last year. Some were part of a goodie bag, but this Midnight Recovery Concentrate was part of a magazine subscription.…

The Balm Time Balm Skin Clarifier
You will probably know The Balm from their make up. Some of their eyeshadow palettes and also their Mary Lou-Manizer highlighter are some cult products in the beauty community. But did you know they do skincare too? I didn’t. Until I found this Time Balm White Tea Sunflower Skin Clarifier. An interesting product that I…

Kiehl’s Iris Extract Activating Treatment Essence
Skin essences were not a regular item in my skincare routine. To be quite honest, I didn’t even know what they were. All I knew is that they are quite the rage in Asia. What an essence is supposed to do apparently, is prepare your skin for skincare, its active ingredients allowing whatever skincare you…

Hema micellar water
It is no secret I love the Garnier micellar cleansing water. But when you find an even more affordable micellar water that works as good, then of course we have to talk about it on the blog. This version by Hema may not be widely available, but it’s a product this affordable brand does very…

Garnier waterproof eye make up remover
Talking about long overdue reviews! I am almost through my second bottle of the Garnier waterproof eye make up remover and not once have I mentioned it on here. Shame on me! Because this is a great little product that is quite affordable, does a really good job at removing make up, yet is gentle…

Garnier micellar cleansing water
Very often I forget to review some of my favorite beauty products. In the past that usually happened because I forgot to take pictures. But when you repurchase a product at least 10 times and make sure you always have at least two back ups on your beauty shelves, then it is high time to…

Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré Nourishing Moisturizer
I’m the type of gal who likes to keep her skincare routine simple. And what better place to shop for simple skincare items that simply get the job done than the French pharmacy! So when I was in France for a vacation I picked up a few items. One of those items was the Embryolisse…

How to find a skincare routine that works
It took me ages to find a skincare routine that was doable as well as good for my skin. For the longest time I used absolutely nothing. The reason why? I didn’t feel my skin needed it and whenever I tried something it led to rashes, break outs and other allergic reactions which strengthened my…

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing lotion
With my sensitive skin, it’s been quite difficult to find skincare that works for me. So when I find something that works, I hang on to it for dear life. You can imagine my disappointment when I ran out of one of the first moisturizer that ever truly worked for me. I’m talking about the…

Nuxe Rêve de Miel lip balm
Winter has finally reached The Netherlands! Well, not exactly where I live, but the northern part got some snow and ice over the past week. And with that colder weather, what better essential to write about than the best lip balm I have found so far. If you are like me and your lips start…

The Body Shop Warming Mineral mask
This face mask review will be the first of its kind on the blog. Yup, that’s right, I have never reviewed a face mask before. Why, you ask? Because I never got round to it! I love the Freeman Avocado mask, but I just never took any pictures of that. So when I bought some…

The Body Shop skincare favorites
One of my favorite beauty brands is The Body Shop. And not just for their body products. Oh no, my biggest love for TBS products aren’t their body butters and shower gels (though I love those too) but their skincare. TBS skincare was the first skincare I bought that worked for me that didn’t break…

Kruidvat eye makeup remover
For years I swore by the Sephora eye make up remover. But then Sephora disappeared from The Netherlands and I had to find a replacement. I searched high and low and then found a super cheap option from the Dutch drugstore. At only €1.69, this eye make up remover works like a dream and doesn’t…

Soap & Glory Endless Glove hand cream
My favorite hand cream? Soap & Glory Hand Food. I hoard that stuff like there is no tomorrow. It is the only hand cream that truly does something for my hands while being absorbed quickly without leaving that greasy hand cream feel. The scent is also heavenly. So when I discovered the brand does another…

The Body Shop Elderflower Unperfumed eye gel
For years I used the Garnier caffeinated roller to combat undereye puffiness and dark circles. It was one of the very first reviews I ever posted on this space (***cue super old blog post with blurry pictures***), but after almost using it up and seeing it discontinued in stores, I decided it was time to…

Ren Rosa Centifolia cleansing balm
I first saw Ren on the UglyFaceofBeauty Youtube Channel and then read about the brand on a few blogs. And that information intrigued me. Enough so, that when I was in London in October and found the brand at Space NK, that I decided to take something home. After a quick browse, I decided to…

De Tuinen Aloe Vera Eye serum
De Tuinen is a health shop chain that I visit often. I buy some food there and stock up on raw protein powder when they have a good deal on. They also do homeopathic medicine as well as hair and body care. I had yet to try their skincare range and when I stumbled upon…

The Body Shop favorites
When it comes to skin- and bodycare products, my favorite brand has to be The Body Shop, or TBS for short. From shower gels to cleansing oils, to make up brushes and sumptious body butters: the brand has it all and I have tried a lot by them over the years. My first make up…

Olaz Total Effects 7-in-1 Instant Smoothing serum
I haven’t been using serum for a long time yet. In fact, till now I only used one other one that I liked and that was the second one I tried. That was the Vitamin E serum-in-oil by The Body Shop. As I knew that was running low, I went on the hunt for a…

Tried & true skin-, body- & haircare products
I try out many different beauty products. From make up to skincare and from hair products to bodycare: I love trying new things and am always in for trying out new lines. Despite all those trials and loving every minute of it, there are a few products that will always stand out for me. Those…

The Body Shop Drops of Youth Eye Concentrate
A while ago I was finally running out of eye cream and so I was looking to try something new. I went into The Body Shop, because I like plenty of their skincare products. The lady recommended I try the Drops of Youth Eye Concentrate. It should not only be cooling on the skin, but…
