Winter Skincare Routine
You may know that I am quite diligent in my skincare use. I rotate products out when I use them up as I feel that changing up my skincare too much isn’t great for my skin. So once every season I tend to update you on the products I am using and how I feel…

Peter Thomas Roth Glycolic Moisturizer
One thing I wanted to do was try more high end skincare. For most of my life I have been using affordable skincare, but I felt as if it wasn’t always super effective. That is why I wanted to try some more expensive products in the hopes that you also get more bang for your…

The Ordinary Lactic Acid
One of my wishes to try for 2019 were some good exfoliants. I had always used physical exfoliants before and they worked well enough, but I had also heard they aren’t the best for your skin or the environment. So I decided to try a chemical exfoliator instead. With my skin being quite sensitive, I…

Fall Skincare Update + New In
We’re in the midst of fall so that means it is time to review my skincare routine. For two reasons: my skin needs are different from the summer time and I have been super lazy when it comes to my skincare. So it is time to get back into the swing of things. I also…

Origins Ginzing Moisturizing Cream
The Origins Ginzing line is one of my favorite skincare lines: it’s orange packaging, zingy scent and thin formula has been one that I have been raving about for a while. I first tried their gel moisturizer, which I loved. However, that wasn’t rich enough, but now that my skin felt a bit better I…

The Ordinary Buffet Serum
One brand known for its no nonsense skincare items at an affordable price point? The Ordinary of course! And because of that I have been really curious to try more of their products. Not everything I try has been successful, but I think that in the Buffet Serum I have definitely found a gem that…

The Ordinary “B” Oil
Face oil is probably one of my favorite skincare products to use and I love trying them. One of my most recent trials is The Ordinary’s “B” Oil. This isn’t necessarily one of the most raved about products by the affordable skincare brand, but it was one that came onto my radar as it is…

What’s in my bathroom?
After doing my skincare routine video a few weeks ago, I got some requests to show what is in my bathroom. So I thought we could do that today. 2019 is the year where I want to try some different skincare. After some years of diligent skincare use, I decided it was time to try…

Kiehl’s Calendula Toner
Since I love most Kiehl’s products I try, I thought I would give one of their cult products a whirl and decided to try the infamous Calendula toner. I love a good toner, but they can be too astringent and harmful for the skin. That is why, this seemed promising as it boasts to be…

The Body Shop Drops of Youth Skin Essence
In Korean beauty routines, a skin essence is a key step that ensure that all the other skincare products work well with the skin. I discovered how much I like using a product like this as an extra layer of hydration when I tried the Kiehl’s Iris Extract Activating Essence. But that is a pricey…

Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Deep Moisture Balm
One of my favorite brands for skincare is Kiehl’s. I discovered it after trying some testers which is something the brand is good at doing. They usually have a huge case of samples so you can try something before you commit to buying the product. The same goes for the product I am reviewing today.…

Skincare Routine
I am not a skincare buff by any means, but I was determined to make 2019 the year I pay more attention to what I am using on my face. In my 20s I struggled for years trying to find products that worked on my dehydrated, sensitive skins. After some trial and error, I found…

Origins Ginzing Eye Cream
Not everyone believes in eye cream, but I am a firm believer in the stuff. The reason for that is because I have found plenty of eye creams that work for me. If I don’t use the stuff, I get bumps around my eyes and my makeup creases more. If I use it, my eye…

Best Toners for Sensitive Skin
A skincare item that I don’t hear many people talking about are toners. I have been using toners for years: they round off your cleansing routine and prepare the skin for the skincare to go on top. Toners have a bad rep as they can be stripping on the skin, but I have found a…

Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel
A skincare product that I had sitting on my shelves for some time, waiting to try out was the Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel. It is one of those products that a while ago everyone was raving about. Because Oskia is a brand that is not readily available to me (I bought this on one of…

The Body Shop Mandarin Face mist
A few months ago I reviewed The Body Shop’s Mattifying Face Mist. While I liked that product, I didn’t like the spritzer on that. When I mentioned that, many people told me that I probably just got a faulty one as they didn’t have problems with theirs. Luckily, I bought not one of these face…

Skincare haul
As you may know, I am looking to amp up my skincare routine this year. So when I bought a few bits to get started and stocked up on some of my skincare favorites, I also made a bit of a wish list of stuff I would like to try. That’s what today’s video is…

Winter Skincare Routine
What to do when winter hits you full force and leaves your skin feeling dry? Don’t worry, I got you! This weekend, we finally got some nice, cold temperatures this winter. But with that cold weather, while great for getting those ice skates out and going outside, comes many skin issues for my dehydrated, sensitive…

The Body Shop Vitamin E eye cream
And we’re back! Despite the mishap of yesterday’s post and me feeling under the weather for the umpteenth time in a few weeks time and yet I wanted to get this review out there. Mainly because I am nearly running out of this eye cream by The Body Shop and I wanted to make sure…

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…

Skincare routine | daily essentials, new in & backups
In today’s video I am taking you into my bathroom! That’s right. I thought we could talk skincare for a moment. The only time I feature skincare on my blog or my youtube channel is when I do an empty products post or when I am trying something new. But that leaves a lot of…

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…

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…

Best Moisturizers for Sensitive Skin
Because I have sensitive skin and I can’t find enough reviews or information about products that work well, I have taken it upon myself to put some more information out there. Often I have tried recommended products and have found they don’t work. Even if those products are good for sensitive skin. So if you…
