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 😛

The Hada Labo+ Sensitive Skin Creamy Wash lets you go easy on your wallet and your skin

I’m a little confused by the Hada Labo+ Sensitive Skin range. I cannot seem to find much, if any, information online about it. Yet, it became available only just slightly over 6 months ago.

Having been previously burnt by the launch of a new product that I found impressive enough to share my thoughts about, only to find that it was quietly discontinued just less than 6 months later, it’s natural that I’m a little wary about new products.

My principle since, is to only talk about new products at least 3-4 months after they’re launched, both to allow me to gauge availability of the product and to allow me a decent period of product testing. I think it’s only fair to you!

Long story short, I am quite impressed by the Hada Labo+ Sensitive Skin Creamy Wash, and I hope that it’s not a product nor a range that’s going anywhere any time soon.

Best of all, it’s so affordable! That’s a good thing to hear right? 😀

Skincare Empties I used up during quarantine: 7 I will repurchase and 2 I will not

June 8, 2020 Paris B 5 Comments

Being 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.

So, here are 10 items I emptied out that I felt were worth a mention. There are 8 I’d repurchase, and 2 I will not 🙂
