Documenting my Trials and Tribulations with Beauty Products
Avène Ultra Fluid Invisible SPF50 is the first new European sunscreen I am trying this summer of 2024. I was drawn to it being a fluid texture without the use of denatured alcohol, all the while including new generation filters. I am already through half the bottle, so I have a good enough impression on…
Bioderma Atoderm Intensive Gel-Crème caught my eye while perusing my local pharmacy in the late summer of 2023. The minimal ingredients, the texture, the cooling sensation… I immediately had to pick it up and give it a try before summer was out. 6 months and an almost empty tube later, I thought it was due…
Urea skincare has been rotating in and out of my skincare routine for a handful of years now. Ever since reading F.C.’s rave review on SimpleSkincareScience, I really wanted urea to work in my skincare routine. From lotions to serums, and a variety of moisturizers. Considering how often I try out a urea-containing product, I…
Last summer, I really enjoyed Avène Very High Protection Sun Cream SPF50+ (Reviewed). It served as a great moisturizing sunscreen – it helped cut down some steps in my skincare routine for the summer while providing broad spectrum protection. This year, I wanted to give Avène Intense Protect SPF50+ a go. It’s in a bigger…
One of the last sunscreens I purchased in 2022 is La Roche Posay Anthelios UVMUNE 400 Hydrating Cream SPF50+. It’s been very hyped in the skincare world, supposedly offering high UVA protection ever in the La Roche Posay Anthelios lineup in a cosmetically elegant formula. Information on La Roche Posay Anthelios UVMUNE 400 Hydrating Cream…
Niche Beauty Lab is a Spain-based skincare company that gives off similar vibes to that of Deciem – but in Europe! Niche Beauty Lab is the umbrella company of the following brands: Recall last August 2022 I hauled 4 items from Niche Beauty Lab. 8 months is plenty of time to rotate in a handful…
Long time no sunscreen review! I thought I’d start off 2023 reviewing my favourite sunscreen from 2022 – Avène Very High Protection Sun Cream SPF50+! I featured this in my GRWM Summer Skincare + Makeup video back in June 2022. That was my first impression then, and have since used it all summer and am…
I have had more than enough time to try out all the products from my Niche Beauty Lab haul back in 2022. In today’s post, I’ll be doing a dedicated review of the much anticipated THERAMID AZID 15% Azelaic Acid Treatment. It is an over-the-counter Azelaic Acid product at 15% concentration! The last time I…
I recall speaking with a sales rep at Shoppers Drugmart (Canadian drugstore) years ago (like 5+ years ago, oh my!) and he told me that he’s noticed many customers buy La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 for acne. Since that encounter, I have continuously had a tube of it in my skincare collection. The original…
8 months into the year of 2022, and I am sharing with you my second skincare haul! This time around I made a purchase from Niche Beauty Lab, a Spanish-based beauty company that reminds me a lot of Deciem. I picked up 4 products and am sharing with you what they are and my reasons…
