The Balm I Like Better Than May Lindstrom’s Blue Cocoon

With the exception of some Glossier stuff (of which more in coming days), I have bought no skincare since I returned from Australia in the beginning of the year. This has not been too difficult, as I own enough skincare for a small Korean town. It’s also alw..

Quick Thoughts on Eye Cream

The usefulness or otherwise of eye cream is something people occasionally ask me about and I was reminded of the topic when Nadine Baggott recently uploaded this video about eye products that work (there is also part two, focusing on high street products).

This is a quick and very niche post, but in case you are travelling to Asia in the near future or are just obsessed with Korean skincare, I have to tell you this. I totally could not live with myself if you’d miss out on Su:m37 purely because I was too lazy ..

Excellent Moisturisers: Going High, Going Low

Remember when skincare used to be all about creams? These days are gone. Now, we focus on serums and oils and layering and the good old moisturising cream has been humbled. Most people still need a day cream, however (it’s easier to get by with an oil or bal..

Best Green Luxury Beauty: De Mamiel and 5 Other Options

This post has been in the making for months, if not years, but I’ve always felt that „oh, I still need to try this“ or „cannot really do it before I’ve used that“. Obviously, that’s not a very smart way to approach the topic, as I’ll never be able to test ev..
