Do you need a lightweight sunscreen? Espoir Water Splash Sun Serum SPF50+ PA+++ Review

Can sunscreen be as light as serum? Yes, it can, and Espoir Water Splash Sun Serum SPF50+ PA+++ is one of the examples. Although Espoir is mostly known for its makeup, sunscreens from this brand are also worth the attention. Is this your new sunscreen? 

Scared of microneedling? This K-beauty brand has a painless solution for you: VT Reedle Shot 100

I should add a Drake meme - microneedling with a roller at home? No, microneedling with VT Reedle Shot 100? Yes! I believe you get the concept. As an esthetician, I hate when people use rollers at home because this type of device has a lot of risk. How do I feel about the VT Reedle Shot series? I love it. 

After a long time, I'm writing you a review of VT Reedle Shot 100.

After a tiny break, I got quite a long post with new releases and great offers from Kbeauty, Cbeauty & Jbeauty stores such as YesStyle, Olive Young & StyleKorean. Many brands like Rom&nd, Hanyul, Abib and more released many new products.

03.06.- 09.06. NEW RELEASES & THE BEST K-BEAUTY & J-BEAUTY DEALS: OLIVE YOUNG, STYLEKOREAN & YESSTYLE: Clio, Beauty Of Joseon, Banila Co, I'm From & more

I started this month with two sunscreen reviews which I hadn't planned, but I also planned to be back with a series that some people loved - new releases and current promotions at stores that sell K-beauty, J-beauty & C-beauty. I do post the best deals I find almost every day on my Instagram, but here are some of the most interesting finds for this week. 

CNP After-Ray Cooling Sunscreen | What's Sunquid and is it worth a try?

2024 is rich in new sunscreen formulas, but have you ever heard about Sunquid? We will talk a bit about this new sunscreen trend from LG Household & HealthCare by testing CNP After-Ray Cooling Sunquid - probably the first sunquid available for the international community through Olive Young.

Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Airy Sun Stick SPF 50+ PA ++++ | My favourite sun stick

Sunsticks - some people love them, some people hate them. I like to use them, especially on my hands and body since it's an easier way to reapply sunscreen. Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Airy Sun Stick SPF 50+ PA ++++ is one of the super popular sunscreens on social media, just like the entire Hyaluronic Acid sunscreens. Is this one worth a try? Is it better to stick to sun cream or sunstick? 

Is this berry antioxidant line a total must-have? Dr. Ceuracle Vegan Active Berry First Essence and Dr. Ceuracle Vegan Active Berry Lifting Cream review

I bet you keep seeing retinol everywhere, but we have to remember that each of our skincare routine steps shouldn't be based on the one, same ingredient. Some people don't like retinol and usually go for bakuchiol as an alternative. What else can we use in our routine? Try antioxidants! No matter if your routine contains retinol or not, antioxidants are important for us. Dr. Ceuracle Vegan series has new products full of antioxidants. Meet Dr. Ceuracle Vegan Active Berry First Essence and Dr. Ceuracle Vegan Active Berry Lifting Cream. Are these two your next favourite skincare products? 

The best J-beauty tone-up sunscreen I've ever tried | Nivea UV Deep Protect & Care Tone-up Essence Review

I bet you know the brand Nivea, but do you know that European sunscreens from Nivea are very different from ones sold in Japan? I wanted to test it on my own, that's why last year I ordered Nivea UV Deep Protect & Care Tone-up Essence - a new tone-up sunscreen released by Nivea in 2023. Is it better than what we have in Europe and the US? 

Can anti-aging product be focused on skin microbiome too? The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate and The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate Cream

I bet you heard that once you turn 25, your skin starts to age because it's a year collagen starts to decrease. The aging process is inevitable, but we can slow it down. The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics line is supposed to help with aging and wrinkles, but at the same time, it's focused on the skin microbiome to maintain a healthy skin barrier. Thanks to Jee & Ju, I was able to try The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate and The Pure Lotus Youth Biotics Lotus Probiotic Concentrate Cream. Is this an ideal line for your skin? 

An essence with over 100 years of history? Shiseido Eudermine Activating Essence Review

Every brand with a long history has its cult product. Maybe your mother or grandma used such before and now you're using. Although Shiseido Eudermine Activating Essence has a long history, no one in my family has used it before. 

Did Laneige just upgraded its cult product? | Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide™ Refiner Review

Winter calls for rich textures, so it shouldn't surprise us that products like cream toners are popular (not only during this season!) Laneige renewed its cult Laneige Cream Skin Refiner and released a new version. Is Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide™ Refiner better than the classic Laneige Cream Skin Refiner?  

Do your skin needs a special booster? | COSRX The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum Review

The last time I tried this brand was ages ago, even though through the years, COSRX has been gaining more popularity every single year. COSRX The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum is one of the last products released by COSRX in 2023. What's so good in peptides and COSRX that makes people go for this product? Do you need a booster in your routine?  

Is Innisfree Cherry Blossom line that good? | Innisfree Love, Glow & Bloom Set Review

Do you miss spring? I do. Even if we have still some time before spring, and somehow the new Innisfree Cherry Blossom series fits winter aesthetically, I've decided to do a little throwback to the old design. I thought that I'd never review Innisfree Love, Glow & Bloom set, but this version is still available in many countries. Is the Innisfree Cherry Blossom series a hidden pearl from this brand? 

Is this a Vitamin C or Multivitamin serum? | Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum Review

There are many different skincare brands on the market right now. Many brands are trying to focus on trending ingredients, but when you learn about Korean skincare, you might find brands like Hanyul that choose traditional solutions with a modern twist over trends. Hanyul Yuja Vita-C™ Serum is not the newest product on the market, but it's a serum you should know. 

Products to boost skin's microbiome | Axis-y Biome Resetting Moringa Cleansing Oil and Axis-y Biome Double Defense Sunscreen

If you want to start the new year with some changes in your skincare routine, the easiest change to do is to add cleansing oil and sunscreen to your routine. If you're not new to skincare then I believe this duo is still gonna refresh your skincare routine. Meet the Axis-y ay&me line, this line might be not as popular as the 6+1+1 line, but it's worth a try! What's so good in Axis-y Biome Resetting Moringa Cleansing Oil and Axis-y Biome Double Defense Sunscreen? 

Brightening duo from Japan | Shiseido Waso Yuzu-C Glow-On Shot Serum and Shiseido Waso Beauty Yuzu-C Overnight Mask

One of the ingredients I adore in food and skincare is Yuja or Yuzu - depending on where you're located. I usually review K-beauty products, but today I want to focus on I guess the most popular J-beauty brand - Shiseido! Although, I believe that nowadays Waso Beauty is no longer promoted as a Shiseido line, but as a separate brand sold by Shiseido, still I want to introduce you to a juicy duo. Let's find what's so special in Yuzu from Kochi with Shiseido Waso Yuzu-C Glow-On Shot Serum and Shiseido Waso Beauty Yuzu-C Overnight Mask 

A K-beauty vegan set to start your 2024! | The onleaf review

Do you search for a vegan K-beauty skincare brand? Then you have to meet The onleaf! It's a new brand created for sensitive & acne-prone skin. I tried three products from this brand: The onleaf Blemish Vegan Low PH Cleanser, The onleaf Vegan Heartleaf PHA Toner and The onleaf Vegan Greenery Repair Cica Watery Gel Cream. In this post, I'm sharing my experience with this trio. 

Find an ideal cleanser for your routine

Double cleansing? Tripple cleansing? Which method is better? Should I use cleansing oil? Cleansing balm or maybe choose micellar water? Why do I even need to cleanse your skin? Cleansing is the first part of the skincare routine, but do you do it properly? Or maybe your cleansing routine needs a tiny booster or change? Let's talk about cleansing! 

Ideal two-toned lenses? | Olens Glow Natural Mocha Brown, Olens Glowy Brown & Olens Big Glowy Mocha Brown

Do you dream of a big, doll-like eye effect? With Olens, it's possible! This time I'm testing three different models: daily lenses Olens Glow Natural Mocha Brown, monthly lenses Olens Glowy Brown and another monthly design Olens Big Glowy Mocha Brown. Which one is my favourite?
