Drunk Elephant Pekee and Juju cleansing bars are products I’ve been meaning to try out for awhile. I’m a big fan of Drunk Elephant and their brand philosophy (natural, scientifically proven ingredients, cruelty free, fragrance free etc). I’m also intrigued by the idea of cleansing bars (travel-friendly skincare for the win!). Plus, these don’t contain any harsh surfactants or irritating…

It took me a long time to get around to trying out Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid. Mostly because I wasn’t able to ship it into Canada until relatively recently. We Canadians get screwed on shipping for a lot of things (either because the shipping ends up costing an arm and a leg, or because stores won’t ship…

I have been using Boscia Tsubaki Oil Infused Exfoliating Powder a few mornings a week for a couple months now, and I quite like it. After testing out Tatcha’s Polished Classic Rice Enzyme Powder (full review HERE), I knew I wanted to try out as many other powder cleansers as I could. Powder cleansers are totally awesome, and I’m now…

When I started using Tatcha Polished Classic Rice Enzyme Powder I did not get what I had expected. I had expected a powder exfoliant (something like the Eminence Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant). But it is so much better than that. Tatcha Polished Classic Rice Enzyme Powder is actually a powder that, when water is added, becomes a lovely foam cleanser. It…

Vitamin A helps plump wrinkles, gets rid of dark spots, reduces oil production, improves collagen production, and stimulates cell turnover for a more youthful appearance. It can also be really helpful for getting rid of acne and breakouts. It’s a really excellent ingredient for anti-aging and acne. Vitamin…

I have struggled with finding a good exfoliating cleanser in the past. Either they’re too harsh, or there aren’t enough exfoliating particles, or the particles are too big, or it was loaded with perfume… I was starting to feel like goldilocks, nothing was just right. Then I received Vasanti BrightenUp! Exfoliating Cleanser in my ipsy glam bag a couple months ago.…
