Simple it might be but Dr. Sam’s Flawless Moisturiser is simply flawless!

September 18, 2020 Paris B 5 Comments

I picked up the Dr. Sam’s Flawless Moisturiser on the heels of the Flawless Cleanser a while ago. It was one of those things that I bought, kept and didn’t get around to using.

But now that I’m working my way through my stash, I took it out to use, and quickly found that I enjoyed it very much.

Now that I’m all but finished with the bottle, I figured it was as good at time as any to share some thoughts about it with you.

Suffice to say that while it is a pretty simple moisturiser by all accounts, I really enjoyed using it, and it’s one on my to-repurchase list. That’s in a nutshell 😉

Do you stick with a skincare product you love despite its rising price tag?

September 14, 2020 Paris B 6 Comments

I had a little food for thought recently, about being loyal to a product despite its increasing price. It made me think about how much I’m willing to pay for skincare, in relation to how often and how much I use of it.

I was asked if I was going to try the new iteration of the Shiseido Perfect UV sunscreen. (If you’re new here, you may not be aware of how many bottles of the original Shiseido Perfect UV sunscreen I’ve made people buy over the years! The answer is MANY! LOL!)

When I first introduced the Shiseido Perfect UV sunscren as my go-to sunscreen in the past, it was the perfect sunscreen. The consistency was just right, the formula was the perfect blend of physical and chemical blockers, and it protected my skin very well.

But 2 things made me stop using it. First, they changed the formula, and the new one (then, called Multi-Defense) sucked.

Second, the price kept going up, and my use of sunscreen increased due to my daily activities. I eventually stopped being loyal to the product, and looked for alternatives.

So, when I was asked recently if I might try and review the new Shiseido Perfect UV Protector with Wet Force x Heat Force, I knew what my answer would be.

Do you need a gadget to clean your face? I review the Foreo Luna 3 to find out

Do you need a gadget to help clean your face?

That’s a question I ask myself everytime a new face-cleaning gadget hits the stands. In recent years, Swedish brand Foreo has carved its niche and entrenched itself firmly in the beauty world as the go-to face-cleaning gadget.

But I stayed clear, because I’m notoriously lax at using beauty gadgets. Very lax.

I was however, recently offered a chance to try the Foreo Luna 3, and after a little humming and hawing, I decided to say yes. What is the point of being a beauty blogger if I wasn’t a little adventurous? In fact, what’s the point of being a beauty blogger anymore, when people prefer other mediums LOL! 😛

But I digress.

So, after a little while using the Foreo Luna 3, I think I have an opinion on it – and I have been encouraged to be honest, so I will be! (I wonder if they’ll regret that) 😉

Thoroughly enjoying the lush texture of the Chanel Sublimage L’Huile en Gel de Demaquillage for a luxurious first cleanse

The Chanel Sublimage L’Huile en Gel de Demaquillage or Gel to Oil Cleanser is one of the more interesting things I’ve tried coming out of the brand.

While I’m usually leery of an oil cleanser and gel cleanser, this one appealed to me for some reason. It might be because it felt and looked rather unique.

It might be that you often get an oil to gel formula, but rarely, one the other way around.

It might also be because I’m a sucker for interesting things 😛
