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…
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+.

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 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…
I am proud of myself to say that my first set of skincare purchases of 2022 was back in March. All French Pharmacy skincare that replaced an empty product. You’ll notice many of the ones I will mention are French Pharmacy, and a couple of purchases was specifically for my post – CO2 Fraxel laser…
When I was first notified of La Roche Posay’s reformulation of their Anthelios Ultra-Fluid Lotion SPF60, my first thought was, “IS IT THE SAME AS SHAKA FLUID!?!?!?” In short, LRP Canada on their Instagram informed me it was the same formula. I looked at both ingredients list, and there is a difference between the two,…
