Up until a week ago, I thought I’d found my holy grail skin brightener. I’d always used a vitamin C serum, but none quite as transformative as this one. As it turns out, there are risks that come with being transformative. When the serum oxidised, my skin started to become really rough and textured, it […]

This supplement cleared my hormonal breakouts
I’ve always struggled with my skin and hormonal acne breakouts. Being on the pill helped me for years, but when I came off birth control 4 years ago, I started to break out again. I’ve done a lot of research into what affects my skin. I’ve learned I need to be mindful of the water […]
3 beauty products I can’t quit
Since starting my corporate job in July, I’ve been thinking a lot more about makeup. I enjoy taking a slow twenty minutes in the morning to mindfully apply my skincare and beauty products. To make myself look more beautiful. I relish the way blush makes my cheeks look young and full of life, and the […]
Honey – my new favourite skincare ingredient
Masks aren’t usually a staple in my skincare routine. I used to float between one or two when I had some extra time for self care, but never used any consistently. I gravitate towards hydrating masks – Laneige’s Water Sleeping Mask is a go-to. It wasn’t until I found I’m From’s Honey Mask that I […]
The routine that saved my skin after travelling
After months of using what could only fit in a small plastic bag, nothing over 100ml, my skin was looking tired. The week before I landed back in Australia, I ordered some new skincare products online and sent them home. Let’s just say I went a little overboard with the spending. But after trialling these […]
Summer skincare favourites
Before the arrival of summer, I needed to compile a favourites list (for both you and I) of skincare for the warmer months. I have oily, acne-prone skin, so I usually always use products that are on the lighter side. But, I do change it up depending on the season. For summer, I focus on […]
Lip products you need to try
I’m not someone who is hugely into makeup, but one thing I do love are lip products. My lips are not naturally pink, so I appreciate a little tinted number. I’ve also always loved the glossy look, but despise that sticky feeling that most lip glosses give you. I’ve collected quite a lot of lip […]
How to smooth uneven skin texture
I’ve always tried to be one of those women with a minimalistic skincare routine. Tried being the key word. When I first left London to go travelling around Europe, I had to be mindful of what liquids I was packing (I only have a carry on). I left a few products behind that I am […]
The right way to layer your skincare products
When you spend as much time on your skincare routine as I do, you need to make sure you’re actually doing it right. Otherwise, you may as well put that time to other good uses. Like researching vineyards to work on in Tuscany. If you follow an extensive Korean skincare routine and have more products […]
My skincare journey – an update
Last year I made a post called my skincare journey. Since that post, my skin has improved and I wanted to share a skincare journey update. There are a few things that I have done / incorporated into my routine that (I think) have made a difference. Firstly, from August, I stopped cleansing my face […]
