It’s a new year, but I still got the same old face, and that face still needs to have things put on it and cleansed off of it on a regular basis, so I’ve got another batch of empties to show off! There are some classics in here, some new (to me) items, and one…

2016 was a pretty wild year in a lot of ways. Even my face got a taste of the turmoil. I tried a lot of different products from a lot of different brands this year, and while some of those products were truly great (and I appreciate the opportunity to try them all), others…weren’t. I took…

As a beauty blogger, I make a lot of skincare purchases. Many more, I imagine, than a typical non-blogger beauty consumer would.

You ever like a product so much that even though you know you shouldn’t use it all the time, you end up using it way more than you should even though that’s kind of a bad idea, but it’s just so enjoyable and the results are so nice? I’m that way about Mizon Honey Black Sugar Scrub,…

These days, it seems there are two kinds of people: those who love a good old-fashioned facial scrub, and those who either won’t, or can’t, take so much as a single exfoliating grain on their skin. (A damaged acid mantle and/or prescription retinoids can make skin extremely sensitive to abrasion, for example.) Mizon’s Seaweed Jelly…
