Hi everyone! Today I have a special blog post, it's an "ingredient focus" article and it's all about propolis!

I've actually had this article as a draft on a word document since last year. I don't know why I haven't published it before....because I love propolis! I wrote it just before moving last year and then things got more complicated, I posted less often and kind of forgot about it....But I've been using a new propolis serum since a couple of months and wanted to review it. That's when I remembered I had written this informative article about propolis so here we go! :D

Hi there,

A new Ingredient Focus article! At the moment, I love camellia oil and I thought it could be interesting to write an article about this particular oil!

I'm currently using a facial oil that contains camellia oil as one of its main oils (Whamisa Organic Flowers Facial Oil), have been using a couple of sheet masks focusing on camellia oil lately (from Blossom Jeju), and am eager to discover more about it. So if you have tried or are using a camellia oil-based skincare product, please let me know!

I was about to write a review of Swanicoco First Treatment Essence (FTE), but then I decided to write an Ingredient Focus article about its main ingredient as it seems you guys enjoy this type of posts :D I also like them because I like researching and writing about ingredients and skincare! 

The topic of this blog post is all about Bifida Ferement Lysate, the star ingredient of Swanicoco FTE and Estée Lauder Advance Night Repair.

Hi there everyone,

Sorry for my absence here on the blog, I'm having a lot things going on until the end of June, which means less time for blogging but I'll be back fully very soon!

A few months ago, I got A’pieu Macasessoside Fluid and quickly fell in love with it. I think in a routine, toners are what excite me the most and this fluid is such a great one (review coming soon) that I got interested in madecassoside and Centella Asiatica. Madecassoside is a molecule issued from Centella Asiatica and that’s why they are linked. In this “ingredient focus” article, I’ll try to explain the properties of Centella Asiatica and madecassoside in a first time, based on what can be found in the scientific literature, and then I’ll show a list of products that contains them. If you see a mistake, don’t hesitate to let me know, we can all do some mistakes :D

Another skincare review on Nailderella :D and it's about a relatively new Korean brand that has just landed at Jolse.com. I received this cream from Jolse for review puroposes.

If you're into skincare, you must know about COSRX. It's a Korean brand that has a line of affordable yet super effective products. They have products with simple packaging but they take their formula and ingredient lists very seriously. They also have the most amazing customer service and really listen to their customers to either improve existing products or create new products. Oh, and yes, they have the most adorable "mascot", Mr Rx!

Clinique Mild Clarifying Lotion has been a holy grail for me for a few years now and I was worried when I saw that it was discontinued and replaced by a new product last fall. Worried is maybe not the most appropriate word here, I should rather say that I panicked because as I said, the Mild lotion was a product I love and adore and I was really worried to see it replaced by a new lotion: Clinique Clarifying Lotion Twice A Day Exfoliator 1.0.

Have you already heard about Astaxanthin?

I decided to review the 6 Evercos Hanbang Sheet Masks that I have because I love hanbang (Korean Traditional Medicine) and because I haven't seen many reviews of these masks although they seem quite popular.
