Frudia is well known for its interesting cosmetic ingredients — I used to absolutely love their blueberry line for dry skin, which worked wonderfully for me. Last summer, I decided to explore their sunscreens, and Green Grape Sebum Control Sun Gel SPF 50 turned out to be the best sunscreen I’ve ever tried.
I rarely pay special attention to citrus ingredients in skincare, but sometimes they’re simply impossible to ignore. That’s exactly what happened with Banila Co Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm Brightening Mandarin-C, enriched with mandarin extract and designed to boost skin radiance.
You’ve probably seen d’Alba everywhere — that chic, minimalist Korean brand adored by influencers. I finally decided to try it myself but went for something different — not skincare, but their Skin Fit Grinding Serum Cover Pact. And sadly, it turned out to be a total disappointment.
I haven’t used Yves Rocher skincare for quite a while, but recently I got my hands on the Anti-Age Global Day/Night Cream & Night Mask — a truly multifunctional product that can be used as a day cream, night cream, or even a night mask. I’ll say right away: I use it only as a night mask, and I really enjoy it.
I love ultra-thin brow pencils that allow me to draw hair-like strokes and create a natural, effortless look. When my previous favorite ran out, I decided to try the MAYBELLINE Brow Ultra Slim in the shade Taupe — and it turned out to be an excellent choice.
In my evening skincare routine, I prefer simple creams without active ingredients, as most of my actives come from serums. Not long ago, I finished Bioderma Atoderm Nutritive Cream, and it turned out to be a great discovery worth sharing.
Niacinamide has always felt like a rather mysterious ingredient to me. It’s heavily promoted as a skin-clearing component, yet it doesn’t enjoy the same cult status as, for example, retinol. Still, I decided to give it a try and tested The Inkey List Niacinamide Serum.
One of the most hyped-up beauty launches that refuses to leave the spotlight — the Rhode Peptide Lip Tint by Hailey Bieber. She can sell any makeup look she wears, and of course, her own products are no exception. Naturally, I couldn’t resist and picked it up in the shade Raspberry Jelly. 🍓
In a recently purchased beauty advent calendar, I came across a Foreo LUNA brush along with a cleansing balm. The balm came in a small 15 ml size and ran out in less than a week, but it was still more than enough to fully appreciate the product.
