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: Chogongjin Geumsul Jin Toner
February 5, 2023
In 2022, the company behind the brand Missha decided to separate their hanbang line and make it a brand of its own: Chogongjin. Just a heads up, I'm so into this brand that I plan on testing half of their catalog for reviews! 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: Innisfree Black Tea Youth Enhancing Treatment Essence
September 9, 2022
I'm a big fan of tea, even (especially?) in my skincare! An antioxidant action combined with a thirst-quenching effect, what's not to love? In the last few months, I have been testing the Innisfree Black Tea Youth Enhancing Treatment Essence which, besides tea, also includes peptides for a boosted anti-aging effect! Let me introduce you to it 🙂.

Review: elmt Skin Activating Solution essence
July 25, 2021
You often blame me for making you spend too much money and for tempting you too much with my reviews! Well, for once, I'm going to tell you about a product that I found "meh-OK", meaning not bad but not incredible either. Yeah, I know, they're not the most exciting reviews to read (or to write for that matter 😅) but I guess, sometimes we need some! Today, I want to introduce you to the Skin Activating Solution essence from the new Korean skincare brand elmt!

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!

Review: IOPE Bio Essence Intensive Conditioning
November 8, 2020
The IOPE Bio Essence Intensive Conditioning is not a newcomer in the world of Korean essences. It's even an old-school "First Essence", and well, it's been a while since we've talked about one of these, right? If you talk K-Beauty fluently, you're no longer a stranger to this concept, I guess! If you don't, stay right here, I'll be your interpreter 😉
