Getting your clean on with the affordable Beauty of Joseon Radiance Cleansing Balm

I seem to have been talking about cleansing balms before they became a mainstream product, which tells you how long I’ve been around, and how great it is that we now have so many options available to us! I even have a whole Cleansing Balm repository (which I haven’t kept as updated as I should!)

The Korean brands were quite quick to jump on the cleansing balm bandwagon, which underscores their focus on proper cleansing via double cleansing, and how quick they are to pivot to a new formula/trend.

When I bought the famed Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun sunscreen, I put a few things into my cart along with it, and one of it was the Radiance Cleansing Balm. I still double-cleanse daily, and I run through my balm cleansers like water!

Loving the vibrancy of the Hygr Tinted Lip Balm in Hibiscus but hoping they’ll improve on one little thing

I’m not one to wear lip balm or tinted lip balm very often. I’m a lipstick girl through and through, and am unashamed about it.

But livestyles and opinions can change, and social media ads are incredibly persuasive LOL! 😀

I came across the Hygr Natural Tinted Lip Balm on Instagram, and when I clicked through to have a look, I continued being served their products more and more, until one day, I caved and bought the Hygr Tinted Lip Balm to see what was so great about it, and why people were hyping about it.

Your skincare routine begins when you cleanse: 8 Cleansers I love that I buy over and over and why a good cleanser is important

In the past, when I first started having some interest in skincare, I came across a quote by someone that said “Spend on what you leave on and save on what you wash off” It was something of that ilk.

Essentially, the idea was that when we were balancing our budget for skincare, we should spend more on products like serums and creams, to get the best possible quality since we were leaving it on our skin; and we could save on a product like cleansers, because we’d just be washing them off.

I thought it made sense, so it was something I practised for a while. I’d buy cleansers from the pharmacy, and I’d not consider spending too much money on them. Something that was foamy and cleaned my skin was sufficient, never mind what special ingredients might be in it, because I was going to wash it off anyway.

Much later, I realised that I was wrong about this.

I needed to know if the hyped Axis-Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum is truly off-the-charts effective

I must confess that I caved in to try the Axis-Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum due to social media hype. Oh yes, it happens to the best of us! 😛

I often see some big influencers waxing lyrical about this serum, and when I found out that it was very affordable, and so effective (as they claimed), I decided to try it. How bad could it be?!

When I read up some reviews, I saw people who actually used the product proclaiming that it was one of the best dark spot correcting serums they’d ever used, and that they saw results in just 2 weeks. It sounded nothing short of a miracle, and with that budget price tag? I had to try it!
