I have a confession.
I’m not sure what to make of the Antipodes Blessing Anti-Pollution Light Face Serum.
I’d used it on and off initially, quite unsure what to make of it. Then, I started using it every morning, as directed, still unsure what to make of it.
I’m about halfway through the bottle now, and I’m still rather unsure what to make of it LOL! 😀 But there are some observations I have that might tilt me in favour of a repurchase.
Continue ReadingBeing in quarantine or lockdown has been good for skincare enthusiasts. It’s forced us to take a long hard look at what we own and use, and actually use it. That’s one positive thing to come out of this!
I’ve been quite good at using up my skincare in the past year or so, so it wasn’t too hard for me to amass a bunch of empty bottles and tubes in the time that our movement was restricted.
Usually, I’d just use them up, make a mental note whether I like them, and quickly forget about them as I move on to the next new item. But this time, I gave it a little more thought.
I had to, because it is now a little more complicated buying skincare from abroad, and I wanted to see if what I enjoyed using was available locally, or if I might have to bite the bullet and try my luck with an online purchase.

The second product I’ve tried from French pharmacy brand Novexpert is the Novexpert Booster Serum with Hyaluronic Acid.
I have tried many hydration serums that contain high concentrations of hyaluronic acid, and I am always looking out for the next big thing.
Might this one be it? 😀
Continue ReadingI cried a little inside when I scraped out the last bits of my favourite hand cream. While I’d normally just buy it, regardless of cost, I wanted to find something a little more affordable, seeing as to how I now use hand cream much more frequently.
I decided to try something that comes highly raved for very dry skin – Weleda Skin Food Original Ultra-Rich Cream.
Weleda is a pharmacy brand from Switzerland, with their products made in Germany, Switzerland and France, and is generally well regarded for their affordable, natural based skincare products. They are a very old and established brand, since 1921.
I’ve tried some of them in the past, notably their body oil, which I enjoyed using very much, and I’ve also tried some body washes, and the odd face product. They are fairly basic products, but generally effective for their purpose.
What I had not tried in all these years is the legendary Weleda Skin Food.
