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 beauty service industry is a very personal one, and the order to physically distance ourselves from each other has taken its toll, both on the providers and the end-users.
I, for example, am missing my hairdresser like crazy! I’ve been overdue for a haircut, and not having the business open has taken its toll, not only on my hairdresser and his business, but the state and condition of my hair too. I’m going to come out of this with the longest my hair has ever been, for the past 5 years LOL 😛
If you are facing some issues with grooming and beauty treatments, I have some tips for you, that might help tide you over till we’re able to hit the salons again. The best part is that it involves you multi-purposing what you may already use – your facial oils 🙂
Continue ReadingIn the last 2 months I’ve found myself battling temperamental and irritated skin. It has been rather unusual, as I’d gotten my routine to a level where I was comfortable with how my skin was faring.
And it was faring very well indeed!
And yet, there I was, facing inexplicable breakouts and dry, irritated and bumpy skin on my cheeks. My skin was dull and I’d lost any healthy glow I’d worked so hard to achieve. It’s frustrating when you have your skin just where you want it, and then have it go bonkers without knowing why.
It reinforces my belief that achieving and maintaining good skin is not a goal. It is work in progress. So I went back to square one, and thought I’d share some of the products that helped my skin along the way.
