Review: Paula’s Choice CALM Nourishing Milky Toner

May 8, 2023

I'm carrying on with my review of the CALM line from Paula's Choice. The products in this range were designed specifically for sensitive skin, yet they are not overly simple or boring. Quite the opposite! I've recently talked about the Rescue & Repair Weightless Moisturizer and I'm following up today with the one that is the star of the range in my humble opinion: the Paula's Choice CALM Nourishing Milky Toner!

Review: SACHI States Of Skin Pro Resilience Serum

April 24, 2023

The brand SACHI States Of Skin has been on my mind since it launched, a couple of years ago. I was waiting impatiently for a product that would fit my needs. My wish was granted a few months ago, with their new multi-tasking Pro Resilience Serum. This product is truly a Swiss Army knife of cosmetics! If you're attracted to minimalist routines, you'll likely be intrigued…👀

I hope you're ready!😆 We're starting today with their nourishing Geumsul Jin Toner essence, which, as you'll see, is perfect for the season…

Review: Amorepacific Vintage Single Extract Essence

March 20, 2021

This review is long overdue, I know! I tried this essence for the first time almost 4 years ago, so it's not really a genuine discovery anymore. I've even repurchased it several times since then. It's quite a unique product, with its own unique story and I think I owed it a dedicated article. So here is my review of the Vintage Single Extract Essence from the Korean premium skincare brand Amorepacific!
