Summer always makes my face oily and prone to acne, so was excited to try out this product.
Was excited about the benzoyl peroxide formula until I remembered (and saw) that this stuff can stain your sheets and clothing. I do love the way the acne wash feels on my skin, though, so I think I’ll incorporate into my morning routine only (and make sure to wash it off thoroughly with a second cleanser).

Summer always makes my face oily and prone to acne, so was excited to try out this product.
Was excited about the benzoyl peroxide formula until I remembered (and saw) that this stuff can stain your sheets and clothing.
I do feel this acne gel works well as a spot-targeting formula, but I have to be cautious about where I use it as I don't want my sheets and clothing permanently bleached!

tried these van houtte caramel vanilla brew-over-ice k-cups this weekend! don’t think i’ve got the hang of the iced coffee beat — maybe because my coffee maker doesn’t have an over-ice setting specifically — as it was too watery for my liking. but the k-cups smell amazing as they brew, and i’ve taken to them for regular hot coffee instead! 🤷🏻♀️ can’t really complain! ☕️💕 -

this arrived just in time for summer. i really appreciate the new watermelon scent, and the applicator tip is a massive upgrade from the last nair product i (messily) used.
that said, i still found this product a little bit harsh on my sensitive skin and not 100% effective in removing my hair.

Chapman's Super Premium Plus Chocolate Lover
This ice cream delivered exactly as promised: a rich, creamy chocolate ice cream that went down a real treat! There's no frills to this ice cream; just velvety texture and decadent chocolate flavour. Yum!

This product is definitely less messy than other similar options (like those with the strips), but it nonetheless requires patience that I don't necessarily have. The wax tends to cool down pretty quickly, which means you have to work quickly (but also carefully, as this is for facial use - and I have sensitive skin, so I'm not wanting any burns). It got a lot of hair, but not all of it. I feel like I will keep the rest of this product for my underarms as I feel it may be more effective (and that area's also a bit more forgiving). -
Clarins Double Serum
I thought the mixing of two types of serums in one is a bit of a gimmick -- I would rather it be pre-mixed for me! And as someone with a very oily type of skin, I don't think this product helped my case whatsoever. My skin did feel soft after, but... +
I thought the mixing of two types of serums in one is a bit of a gimmick -- I would rather it be pre-mixed for me! And as someone with a very oily type of skin, I don't think this product helped my case whatsoever. My skin did feel soft after, but it only exacerbated the shininess through the day. Also not a massive fan of the strong scent (would prefer unscented). -
Clean & Clear Essentials Foaming Facial Cleanser
I'm a sucker for a foaming facial cleanser, so that part had me right away. But whereas some other cleansers tend to dry my skin out (often hard to avoid when you look for cleansers that cut down on oil), this one didn't leave my skin feeling that... +
I'm a sucker for a foaming facial cleanser, so that part had me right away. But whereas some other cleansers tend to dry my skin out (often hard to avoid when you look for cleansers that cut down on oil), this one didn't leave my skin feeling that way. Also I enjoyed the fresh scent. Would definitely buy again! -
NYX Professional Makeup Jumbo Lash! Vegan False Lashes
These lashes were really cute. I used the liner glue, which unfortunately looked pretty janky as I'm not great with liquid liner application. But if it weren't for that, the lashes themselves looked super cute! They weren't too bold, but definitely... +
These lashes were really cute. I used the liner glue, which unfortunately looked pretty janky as I'm not great with liquid liner application. But if it weren't for that, the lashes themselves looked super cute! They weren't too bold, but definitely more of a statement than regular ol' mascara. And without the clumps! -
Maybelline New York Super Stay Vinyl Ink Longwear Liquid Lipcolor
I love how pigmented this liquid lipcolor is, and the colour itself is divine! However, it is way too true to its Super Stay claims -- it's sticky and literally gets over everything it comes into contact with. It's definitely not suitable for... +
I love how pigmented this liquid lipcolor is, and the colour itself is divine! However, it is way too true to its Super Stay claims -- it's sticky and literally gets over everything it comes into contact with. It's definitely not suitable for someone like me (maybe I'm a tad clumsy)!
Like I said, though, I love the pigment, the colour and also the packaging is super cute.
