☀️ A texture I've been slowly enjoying less and less this #texturetuesday! . . 😑 Normally we share our favourites today, or textures we're excited about...and it's true I love sunscreens, but I'm starting to dislike this a little more and more as time goes by. This is the Too Cool For School Cica Sun Lotion, which is a mineral sunscreen - and there's the rub. Enter broad generalisation: I just don't like mineral sunscreens much. . . ☀️ At first, I quite enjoyed this as it absorbs pretty quickly and layers really well under makeup. It doesn't leave an awful white cast, and doesn't feel sticky. Great for mineral lovers. And it's really not bad. It's just that after going back to a chemical sunscreen which is also creamy in texture, and having it melt into my skin in seconds...then having to work harder with this one, I'm just not as sold. . . ☀️ On its own, it's a good mineral sunscreen. Big tube, no awful scent, absorbs pretty well, doesn't feel cloying and greasy. The problem for me is that it IS a mineral sunscreen. . . Well, I tried! . . How do you feel about mineral sunscreens? Are you a fan? . . #mineralsunscreen #chemicalsunscreen #sunscreen #suncream #zincoxide #texturetuesdays #textureshot #kbeauty #toocoolforschool #sunprotection

❣ October was a decent month for empties as I start to switch up my routine for colder weather, and drier skin! . . Here are my thoughts on October's #skincareempties for you: . . 👌 @olivarrier pH 5.5 Dual Moist Hyaluron Essence: I was dying to try out this brand, and I'm so glad that I did! When launched at @koss.official I snapped up this delightful essence, and I'm so glad I did. It lasts FOREVER, I've been amazed at how long it's taken me to use up, so you really get value for money (€30.95) for such a long use. It's hydrating and helps to soften skin somewhat, through hyaluronic acid and plant-derived squalene. I would 100% buy this again for lighter layers during the summer months, when heavy products aren't my friend. . . 🧐 @desserttable_official Very Moist Berry Recipe Lotion. I like what this product does for my skin, as it's nicely hydrating and smoothing, but I can't get past the scent. It's way too strong, and doesn't smell natural - I'm not anti-fragrance but this one is just too much, like sticking your face into a bowl of pot pourri. . . ☀️ @swanicoco.en Triple V Brightening Solution. This is good for the price, with mild brightening results and a fast absorbing, light finish that doesn't leave skin feeling sticky. Love the fact it's 50ml and not 30, and I'd definitely buy it again for its respectable price tag, coming in at under €20. . . 👀 @shangpree Marine Energy Eye Masks. The best hydrogels. Ultra-thin, super hydrating, brightening the under-eye area. I love them. Nuff said. . . 🌱 @thepurelotus Jeju Botanical Sunscreen. Smells like lemons, goes on like a dream, no white cast, and beautifully moisturising. The only problem with this sunscreen is that I've run out! You can read my review on this through the link in my bio - thanks to @bemusedkorea for sending it over to review! You can get 20% off this at their store using code NTSLOTUS if you're keen to try it out :) #skincareaddict #koreanskincare #cosmeticacoreana #skincareempty #skincarereview #kbeauty #koreanbeauty #shangpree #swanicoco #thepurelotus #sunscreen #hydrogelpatches

❣ Hurrah! After weeks stuck in customs and a significant amount of fees (cheers Spain) later, I have my @jumiso_official EU review package! . . 👀 Everyone else has already been posting so you probably have seen quite a bit of these products around, but I'm really happy to have been selected and to try out two products that are new to me! . . 👌 I've used the All Day Vitamin Brightening and Balancing Serum before (and have a review on the blog up, too) with good results on redness and pigmentation. So I'm pleased that this will be back in my routine, especially after a long summer where the sun's shone so much ☀️ . . 💧 I'm most excited about the Have A Good Cream moisturiser with centella and snail, two of my favourite ingredients. Judging from the texture this will be a lovely choice for winter for me, not too heavy and thick but definitely rich enough to pack a punch. . . 👏 Finally there's the Yes, I Am Toner (these names are so cute) with AHA 5%, suitable for all skin types. I'm currently using a glycolic acid toner so I'm interested to see how this compares when I finish the bottle - this will be next up in my routine for toner testing. . . 😊 Oh, and there are some hella cute stickers too - aren't they adorable? Also so happy to not have sheet masks in the package! My stash is huge and I am trying to whittle it down for a more #sustainableshelfie. . . 💁‍♀️ Have you tried any of Jumiso's products yet? What's your favourite? What are you most curious about if you haven't? . . #jumiso #kbeauty #abcommunity #makeyousmile #koreanskincare #koreanbeauty #cosmeticacoreana #discoverunder10k #cosmeticaasiatica #rskincareaddiction #rasianbeauty

A teeny tiny tower for #towerthursday today! . . These have been my night time companions for a few months now and I'm super happy with the pairing! . . I NEVER want the @laneige_kr Cica Sleeping Mask out of my life. Can you come to @sephora_spain soon please? I never expected it to be as good as it is - I didn't know it would be this rich and creamy! Despite its creaminess it still manages to be light enough to absorb quickly and act all night long - so I wake up with a lovely natural glow. It's always nice to see hydrated skin in the mirror in the mornings. There's nothing that I don't love about this mask, apart from the fact that there isn't more of it. . . Then the @innisfreeofficial Lip Sleeping Mask, which didn't impress me at first, has been an enjoyable constant in my routine. It's slightly sticky (similar to the Aritaum Ginger Sugar mask if you've tried that) and keeps lips moisturised all night, so they feel softer during the day. For the price I would likely get it again, as it was under €10 (though maybe not outside Korea, it is on @yesstyle though). Can we also get Innisfree over here Sephora, while you're at it? The US has too much, they can spare some brands... . .

❣ Happy #texturetuesday with this beautiful oil from @cocunat*! . . ❣ If you've followed my account for a while, you'll know that I don't get on well with facial oils. Nearly all the ones I've tried break me out - heavy creams and oils just aren't for me, despite dryness! So when I come across one which absorbs fast and doesn't cause eruptions, I get pretty excited. . . 👌 The Cure is Cocunat's special blend of 21 different oils, including jojoba, sweet almond, rosehip, sesame, sunflower, argan...the list really does go on, but it is an impressive one for sure. This mix provides a blend of vitamins and antioxidants, helping to brighten and protect the skin, restoring the skin's moisture barrier and boosting cell renewal. . . 💧 Three drops is enough, and you warm it in your hands before spreading it over your skin. It absorbs relatively quickly, for an oil, and doesn't feel greasy and overpowering. It's light and is easily mixed in with other products like face cream or emulsion. It also smells gorgeous, like an aromatherapy oil, so it's ideal for relaxing at night - which is when it's indicated as best to use. . . 😊 Overall I'm super pleased with this oil and would purchase it myself - it's a well-priced oil (normally €49.90) for 40ml, will last a long time, and as a lighter oil it's working really well for my skin. I'm looking forward to seeing how I get on in the colder months. . . ♻️ I also appreciate that all materials used in the packaging of the oil are recyclable - my only gripe is that the lettering comes off the bottle easier than you would expect, so you have to handle the bottle with dry hands. Still, I'm okay with it - finding a facial oil that works with my skin more than makes up for it! . . *provided for review . . #cocunat #facialoil

Scent library 📚✨ . . I've been experimenting more with perfumes through the company store, which has been fun as it's introduced me to some new brands I would never have necessarily tried! I tend to stick to similar scents and stay with fruity notes, but now it's winter I'm discovering the darker sweet notes of oud and vetiver. . . I love the warm, dry smell of vetiver - it is still fresh despite being woody and earthy, like walking in the grass on a wet morning. These two notes are comforting me greatly these days, and especially in the case of the @penhaligons_london Halfeti. I can't wait to try more from this brand now 💓 . .
