Olaplex Shampoo and Conditioner Review

Olaplex Shampoo and Conditioner Review

I’m not entirely sure when and where I first heard about Olaplex. But at one point, I realized I saw their products everywhere and was curious. The reviews were terrific. People loved the results; all in all, it seemed too good to be true. I also remember looking at the numbers No. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 and wondering if I need to have the whole collection. Can I pick just No. 4 and No. 5? Can I use…

The 5 Best Epilators for Silky Smooth Skin

best epilators for silky smooth skin

I still remember when I went to look for an epilator shortly after moving to the US. I wanted to upgrade the one I had brought with me from Bulgaria, and I went to Walmart, Target, and Best Buy but couldn’t find any of the big epilator brands. Quite frankly, I don’t remember seeing any at all. Amazon back then was not a thing yet, or at least not what it is today so I couldn’t find one there too.…

Farmacy 10% Niacinamide Night Mask Review

The Farmacy 10% Niacinamide mask is one of the most popular niacinamide products right now, and for a good reason. This mask just works. I purchased it after seeing the great reviews it had online, and I’m happy I did because it’s one of the few products that deliver results after its 1st use while continuing to improve your skin over time. If you’re not familiar with niacinamide, let me share a few things that I learned about it and…

The Best Ice Rollers To Depuff & Tighten Your Skin

Ice rollers are having a moment and continue to be one of the most talked-about beauty tools on the market. The concept is not new. Before ice rollers, we had ice cubes, which work pretty similarly. They tighten the skin, depuff the face, and encourage blood circulation. The main thing I don’t particularly like when it comes to rolling an ice cube on your face is that it can turn into a big mess—melted ice going all over your forearm…

All Bright C Serum Review – Is It Worth The Hype?

January 24, 2022
Beauty Counter All Bright C Serum Review

Beauty Counter’s All Bright C serum is not a new product. It’s been on the market for a few years but I just got mine in September, and I didn’t start using it until a few months later. I wanted to finish the whole serum before I write this post because, in my opinion, if you want to see what a product can do, you have to use it consistently and for a longer period. Below is everything you need…

9 Skincare Gift Ideas for the Beauty Lover featured by top CA beauty blogger, Tea Cups and Tulips

If you’re buying gifts this year, chances are there’s at least one person on your list that is obsessed with anything beauty-related. Let’s call that person the beauty lover. That’s the same person who can’t go to bed without following a strict skincare routine, which includes taking off any makeup, applying serums, eye cream, and a moisturizer—then finishing it all of with a luxurious face oil before laying down on a silk pillowcase. Okay, in all honesty, I feel like…

Why You Should Consider Epilating

June 28, 2021
Epilating vs shaving

Hair removal is the most time-consuming beauty process. And what works best for me when it comes to hair removal is epilating. I’m not a fan of shaving because the hair grows back quickly, and it feels a bit thicker each time. To have smooth skin, you have to shave every 1-2 days, which honestly irritates my skin.  I tried epilating for the first time when I was a teenager, and I was interested in hair removal, but I wasn’t…

How to Clean Your Ice Roller

how to clean your ice roller

Ice rolling has been a part of my skincare routine for many years now. It’s one of the easiest ways to depuff the face, tighten the skin, and overall great for the lymphatic system. In addition, it helps increase the blood flow and drain the fluid in the face due to not enough sleep, too much salt or wine the night before.  While I’m not someone who cleans her ice roller after each use, I clean it often. After all,…
