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…

Best cleansers for sensitive skin
Skincare is very much a trial and error ordeal and when you have sensitive skin it is even more so. It took me ages to develop a skincare routine that works for me as much of what I tried would make my skin feel worse rather than better after using a moisturizer or a cleanser.…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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.…

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…

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…

La Roche Posay Hydraphase UV Intense Riche
More than 2 years ago, I wrote a review about La Roche Posay’s Toleriane Ultra face cream. This cream was my favorite face cream for years, despite the fact that it caused an allergic reaction when winter struck. I have found that the Toleriane Ultra cream is a great spring/ summer cream for my skintype,…

2x The Body Shop serums
Over the past year, I’ve drastically revised my skincare routine. I tried some new products and have now found a routine that not only works, but is easy on the upkeep. One such new addition to my skincare routine is using a serum. I got sucked into trying some when I got a tester for…

Empty products #1
Last day of the month and… NO monthly favorites. Because this time I just didn’t have enough new favorites to rave to you about. So I decided to save it up and team up the months of August and September in a favorites’ post. Instead, I am bringing you a post I haven’t done before:…

Night time skincare review
For almost a year now, I’ve been very satisfied with my night time skin care routine. After searching high and low for months I finally found a cream that is nourishing enough and an eye cream which actually works too. I am currently playing around with my skincare routine again due to the colder weather,…
