Deciem The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% + HA Review

Deciem The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% HA Review

Lactic Acid from The Ordinary was one of the first products I tried.  I have used chemical peels for a few years to help with exfoliation and their 5% came with a great price point.  Lately, my skin has been rougher so I jumped up to 10% in December.  The Ordinary’s Lactic Acid 10% comes […]

Deciem The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid Review

Deciem The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid B5 Hydrator Review

Hyaluronic Acid is in so many moisturizing products now.  However, many use the wrong kind of Hyaluronic Acid and it cannot penetrate the skin to actually help.  The Ordinary’s Hyaluronic Acid uses three forms of HA of varying molecular weights with a cross polymer to offer multi-depth hydration and visible plumping without drawing water out of the […]

Deciem The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG Review

Deciem The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% EGCG Review

This is probably the product I am most religious about applying, even when I have no makeup on.  My eyes tend to look quite hollow and dark. Wearing glasses just magnifies this.  So any help I can get, I will take.  I have tried a bunch of caffeine eye creams but some irritate my eyes.  […]

Deciem The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution Review

Deciem The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Review

If you have used any acne skin care or products targeted at teens, you have probably used some Salicylic Acid.  This BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid) not only exfoliates but can penetrate deeper into the pores.  It dissolves oil buildup, helps regulate sebum production with regular use and leaves your skin clearer.  Use can also use it […]

My Skincare Routine Using Deciem The Ordinary

Deciem The Ordinary Skincare Review - Lactic Acid - Salicylic Acid - Caffeine - Hyaluronic Acid

If you have not heard of Deciem’s The Ordinary range, you are living under a rock.  But saying that, despite the very attractive price point, Deciem does not make it super easy to choose the products that are right for you.  I use a few from other Deciem lines, but since the Canadian Beauty Bloggers […]

So much went on in December and while I mentioned some of these in my previous post and social media, I thought I would share some of my favourites from The Body Shop’s 24 Days of Beauty Advent Calendar.  Some are regular buys for me so great to have a back up while others are […]

Faves From Cuter Cuticles December 2017 Gladvent

Cuter Cuticles Gladvent Christmas 2017 Faves

You will know from previous posts that I am a fan of Cuter Cuticles for their cuticle oil.  So when they offered their latest Gladvent, a mini advent box for December 13-24th, I jumped on it.  Well, I made him buy it for me!  Some of these are exclusive to the box while others are […]

Avon Skin So Soft Winter Lavender Collection

Avon Skin So Soft Winter Lavender Collection review

Winter collections for skincare are always my favourite.  So moisturizing and great scents for those who are not into fruity summery ones.  Avon released a few new sets for the holidays and I tried out their Winter Lavender set.  Rather than old lady lavender, they blended the lavender with bergamot and jasmine to make a […]
