Ah, vitamin C serum, the ever-present highlight of my skincare routine. To say that I could not live without vitamin C serum would be too much, but I can safely say that I would be really, really uncomfortable living without them. It used to be hard to get them; I could still remember those dark, […]

Upping The Exfoliation Game : A review of COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid
I used to be a bit squeamish about chemical exfoliation, until my last year encounter with COSRX BHA One Step Pimple Clear Pad, which is (in my humble opinion) the perfect product for acid-noobs. A few tubes of exfoliation pads later, I am ready to continue my Exciting Exfoliants Exploration™. It just seems logical to […]
Nivea White Oil Control Make Up Clear 2 in 1 Foaming Cleanser : A Short(-ish) Review
A few weeks ago, I very wisely decided to splurge my skin care budget on a year worth of hand creams. This called for drastic saving on other parts of my routine (and lunch allowance)…so I’ll be honest with you, this product I am reviewing right now was not bought using my own money. […]

Evening and Weekly Skin Care Routine (June 2017 edition)
It is too long overdue, but here I am again! I have been busy with work lately (same old, same old), and my cat Hachiko just gave birth to five kittens!

Morning Skincare Routine (June 2017 Edition)
Last week was an Eid week and I have braced myself for the standard questions from my nosy-but-lovable friends and relatives. You know, those “when will you get married”, “when will you start master study”, and all its possible variation/combination. One question I did not expect to come up at all is, “What skin care products […]
