Slowvember is back in 2024! In November, Deciem, the parent company of The Ordinary (which all the skincare addicts know very well!), wants to encourage you to shop calmly, without rushing. No promotions just on Black Friday (or on Black Friday week). Instead, throughout the entire month of November (except on Black Friday, as a cheeky twist!), all products on the Deciem website are 23% off! This gives you plenty of time to restock your favorite products. And it's also the perfect opportunity for me to share my shopping list! 😉

I know I'm not the only one who likes them! Today, I'm pleased to share with you my thoughts on Japanese sunscreens, which are a firm favourite with anyone who likes a fresh, melting texture, but still wants a long-lasting sunscreen! It can be particularly hot and humid in Japan, and Japanese sunscreens are formulated to stay on the skin even in these extreme conditions, without compromising on the sensoriality of the textures! Sounds great, don't you think? 😉

A true revolution in anti-aging. That's how the brand Institut Esthederm introduces its Age Proteom™ Advanced Serum. And on paper, it's one of the most impressive innovations of recent years, there's no doubt about it. But how does it work in practice on my skin? Here is my review!

I've said it several times over the last two years, the ZIIP is my favourite anti-ageing toning device. A few months ago, the brand redesigned it and I have to admit I was a bit nervous... When something works well, why fix it? For a few weeks now, I've been testing the new version, the ZIIP Halo. Is the ZIIP Halo as good as the previous versions? Is it better? Is it worth changing if you already own a previous version? I'll tell you all about it!

CNP Propolis Energy Active Ampule is a hydrating, soothing, repairing and antioxidant serum that looks very promising on paper! It's a propolis-based serum that's been ultra-popular in Korea for years. According to the brand, they are selling 3 every minute. As a big fan of propolis-based products, I had to see if this best-selling product lived up to its reputation! Here's my detailed review.

Before summer really comes to an end, let me tell you about my favorite night moisturiser for the season! Your skin is sensitive and overheated, and you don't like heavy or overly rich textures? Look no further than Pure Artemisia Watery Calming Cream from the Korean skincare brand Hanyul! You're gonna love it!
