I bought 2 night creams recently, and because retinol is such a hot topic these days, I saw that they both say they contain retinol. In a cream? I’d only used it in a serum, but I was intrigued.
I did not expect much from them, if I’m to be honest. I do use a retinol serum of a higher percentage, and the creams don’t contain a very high percentage of retinol, or it would come with a warning to use sparingly.
Still, I wasn’t quite prepared to not be very impressed by either 🙁

When I first came across the (then) new cleansing butter from Elemis, I was very intrigued. I am a huge fan of the Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm, and I currently have 2 in my backup stash. I love the texture of it, the scent, and how it leaves my skin feeling clean, yet moisturised and soft. There is nothing I hate about it at all!
Naturally, I had to eventually get around to trying the Elemis Superfood AHA Glow Cleansing Butter. It claims to clean and brighten skin, while nourishing the skin, and it is so highly raved about, I had to see what the fuss was about! 🙂

Ever since the beginning of the pandemic, when we were forced to stay indoors, I’d ditched any semblance of wearing makeup. Why bother, when you won’t be going out, or wearing a mask. It felt like a waste of time and effort (and in many ways, it was).
When restrictions lifted and life began going back to normal, I still balked at wearing makeup. My lifestyle had changed. I was spending more times outdoors, less time being social, and wearing masks all the time. This hasn’t changed in over 3 years, and realistically I don’t expect it to change very much going forward.
But over the last few months, I’ve had the occasion to put on some makeup for social events, and I have to say that I’ve actually found it fun! 😀

I am a fan of the South African brand Skin Creamery. Their products are simple (insofar as a product can be simple) but they work well for me if I want something uncomplicated. They’re gentle on my skin, and do an amazing job at being a simple and effective natural skincare.
When I first came across their (then) new Skin Creamery The Balm, I was intrigued.
I am a big big fan of May Lindstrom’s Blue Cocoon, and this jar of blue balm made me wonder if it was similar in some way (at a fraction of the price!) 🙂
