Holika Holika Naked Face Fitting BB

The Holika Holika Naked Face Fitting BB is one of the K-beauty items I brought back from Japan. It was one of the Shin-Okubo (Koreatown in Tokyo) store clerks that brought this product to my attention. I did not need another BB cream, yet the simple matte glass bottle intrigued me and I really wanted to try a dewy formula. At the time those were pretty hard to find over here since all everyone could talk about was matte face, matte lips, matte everything. Thank god those days are behind us. Yay dewy skin! View Post

Belif The True Cream Aqua Bomb

Belif was one of the first k-beauty brands to hit Sephora (US) and make waves thanks to the Belif The True Cream Aqua Bomb. Now that the brand is available at Sephora France, I thought it was about time I shed a light on this special moisturizer. First off, this cream is just one of the 2 star moisturizers by the brand; the Aqua Bomb is for normal to oily skin and the Moisturizing Bomb is for normal to dry skin types.  View Post

Treets Traditions Pure Serenity

Treets Traditions is a relatively new Dutch beauty brand whose product ranges revolve around ancient traditions found all over the world. Sounds familiar no? An added bonus is that its products are free of SLS, SLES, parabens, silicones, colourants and mineral oils. I have been testing some products of the Tweets Traditions Pure Serenity range, which was inspired by the Japanese onsen (bathing) culture. View Post

L’Oréal Paradise Extatic Waterproof Mascara

loreal paradise extatic waterproof mascara review

After trying the original L’Oréal Paradise Extatic Mascara I was very curious about its waterproof successor, the L’Oréal Paradise Extatic Waterproof Mascara. I rarely have days where my mascara doesn’t end up under my eyes by the end of the day so waterproof mascaras are very welcome! This one looks just as pretty as the original, but with a turquoise tube which makes me think of some tropical beach.  View Post
