A story about herbs and flowers in The Face Shop Yehwadam Heaven Grade Ginseng Rejuvenating Range

Give an Asian a piece of ginseng, and they will likely squirrel it away to boil a bowl of nourishing herbal soup. No Asian worth their salt will turn down good ginseng, a root known to boost blood circulation and energy levels; and that is also true when that ginseng is found in skincare.

So, when THE FACE SHOP asked if I might want to try their newly updated Yehwadam Heaven Grade Ginseng Rejuvenating range of skincare, I couldn’t say no. Hello! Ginseng! 😀

I’d been using these, trying to get a feel of them, for slightly over a month, so I have formed quite a firm view on them. If you’re curious to know what I think, here we go! 🙂

Let the Oskia Renaissance Mask renew, rejuvenate and resurface your skin

January 14, 2019 Paris B 52 Comments

Oskia is a brand that was quite hot about a year ago, and has since slipped a little, in terms of popularity, if Instagram is any judge. For me however, it’s a brand that I’m a little smitten with!

Many people raved about the Oskia Renaissance Gel Cleanser (count me as a fan). But there’s another product, less talked about, that I think everyone should try – the Oskia Renaissance Mask.

Briefly, Oskia is a niche skincare brand that hails from the UK. It is quite new, but has made waves in the skincare world since its launch. Their products are designed with cellular nutrients and high-tech bio-actives, containing vitamins, omegas and minerals. It is all very fascinating to me, primarily because whatever products I’ve used thus far, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed! 🙂

Like the Renaissance Cleansing Gel, the Renaissance Mask is a pale peach-pink colour in tub. I tried a sample before this, and I loved it so much, I sprung for the full sized tub. If you know what’s good for you, you’d read on 😛

If you’ve never heard of The Inkey List, let me change that!

I find it interesting and not a little intriguing how one very affordable brand caught the world’s imagination by storm a few years ago (The Ordinary), while this other new brand – The Inkey List – has quietly crept into the beauty scene without much hullabaloo.

Aside from the few reviews I’ve done of some noteworthy items from The Inkey List, and some posts I’ve come across from some UK bloggers, there hasn’t been a lot of fuss about the brand.

I think it’s a pity, because I think it’s a great little single-ingredient, very affordable brand.

I picked up quite a few items from The Inkey List a few months ago, and I’d already told you about two of my favourites – the Turmeric Moisturiser and the Hyaluronic Acid serum.

This post will serve more as an overview of the products I’ve tried, what I think of the brand in general, and why I think you should take a look, if affordable, effective skincare is what you’re after.

Luxurious price tag aside, how does the Chanel Sublimage L’Essence Fondamentale fare?

I’d had the good fortune of trying out the Chanel Sublimage L’Essence Fondamentale Ultimate Redefining Concentrate for about a month prior to learning a little more about it in Hong Kong.

In a way, I appreciated this, because I had the opportunity to figure it out for myself first, before learning about what makes it tick.

The story behind the L’Essence Fondamentale is an involved one, that encompasses over 8 years of research, and hundreds of thousands of tons of solidago flowers, which form the heart of this serum. You can read about its story in my overview post, which is far more comprehensive.

Today, I’m going to tell you instead about my experience with one of the two new serums from Chanel – the very exclusive (and pricey) Sublimage L’Essence Fondamentale Ultimate Redefining Concentrate.
