The daily lemming
Someone who is familiar with the Korean beauty brand Skinfood will have to tell us if the products smell as good as they sound? My skincare regimen is incredibly simple and works well for me, so I'm not really likely to adopt any new products (much less an elaborate multi-step program) but this isn't the first time I've been attracted by the packaging of something from Skinfood. Peach Sake Toner: "This lightweight, refreshing toner contains rice sake and peach extract, both rich in vitamins A and C, which work to minimize shine and the appearance of pores." $15 for 135 ml at Skinfood US.
5 Roses for June ~ body products review
Although I’ve garnered something of a reputation as a rose-lover over the past decade, I don’t review rose fragrances exclusively — in fact, my last rose perfume review was Sana Jardin Tiger by Her Side (November 2017) and my last rose body product review was even further back (September 2017). Since June is the month of roses, it seems like an appropriate time to update this situation! Here are a few rose-fragranced body products that I’ve recently tried.
I need to thank one of you (thanks, Creosote!) for recommending Andalou Naturals 1000 Roses Soothing Body Lotion to me. Its consistency is just right: almost thick enough to qualify as a cream, but lightweight enough to spread and absorb without any waiting time…
The daily lemming
The Magnolia Flower Lab Essence Sheet Mask from Mamounde: "Magnolia-infused sheet mask brightens the look of skin while improving the overall complexion. Made of Eucalyptus pulp, the translucent mask hugs facial contours to maximize absorption of the concentrated, delicately Magnolia-scented serum. Through years of loving research, Mamonde has discovered and captured the vital secrets of flowers. Suitable for all skin types." $7.
The daily lemming
It makes your face thinner! Really! Plus, coffee. "Tony Moly's Latte Art Cappuccino Cream-In Scrub is a color-changing cream that takes care of a massage and keratin removal simultaneously. This scrub, with an additional massaging effect, contains the active ingredients of coffee and milk extracts, which work to remove: flaky, dry, dead skin cells and impurities from the skin, while also providing nutrition to the skin. The warm sensation produced when rubbing the color-changing scrub on the face removes impurities deep in the pores. The grains within the scrub make the skin smooth and glossy. In addition, the ingredient of peptide supplies firmness to the skin, and the ingredient of O2 Carrier Complex makes the facial contour slimmer." $17.50 for 95g at Ulta.
