Prove It! Review of the Philips PureRadiance Facial Cleansing System

  With the increasing popularity of high-tech cleansing tools in the beauty world, I probably shouldn’t admit this, but I’d never actually tried one until two months ago.

A Glowing Review: Amore Pacific Luminous Effect Brightening Masque

After an incident this summer with a brightening mask that sucked all color from my face, I have been hesitant to try out items that advertise as ‘brightening’ when really what they mean is lightening. I decided to give brightening masks another try when I was introduced to Korean brand AmorePacific and learned that most of their products… Continue reading A Glowing Review: Amore Pacific Luminous Effect Brightening Masque
