Shop the post here . If you’ve been here a while, you know I love a good BHA. Paula’s Choice basically set the standard — smooth skin, fewer blackheads, smaller-looking pores. It still performs and is a total texture‑smoothing powerhouse. Then Walgreens dropped their own 2% BHA, and they weren’t subtle about the inspiration. Same 2% salicylic acid, similar pH, lightweight, fragrance‑free, alcohol‑free — the formulas even share several core ingredients. The overlap is real. Th

Shop the post here. One thing about me is I'll admit when I'm wrong. I decided to redo this post after 1.) the previous product I suggested started burning my face and 2.) the second I tried this product I knew it was a better fit for this. Enjoy! As we’ve established, I’m easily swayed when shopping online, especially by enticing keywords like “brightening” in skincare. When I saw an influencer promoting a big bundle for Revisions products, I couldn’t resist and ordered the

Shop the post. I’ve been getting so many requests to review the Epicutis Lipid Serum, so I finally decided to splurge and grab it—especially since I had a laser treatment coming up. It’s marketed as a holy grail for repairing damaged skin barriers, so I figured it was the perfect time to test it out. Turns out, I didn’t even need the laser to wreck my skin. I managed to burn my face using the Medicube Zero Pore Pads (yes, the ones that promise glass-like skin). So perfect opp

Shop the post here . Okay, this one’s for my normal to oily skin girls. 💧 Back when my skin wasn’t as dry as the Sahara,  Belif The True Cream Aqua Bomb  was my holy grail. I used it for years—it was lightweight, hydrating, and always gave me that fresh-faced glow. So when someone asked me for a dupe recently, I picked it up again for a little throwback test. And wow—I'd totally forgotten about the tacky finish it leaves once it dries. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it’s defini

Shop the post here. Is it okay to admit we love skincare products just because they feel good? Because honestly, that’s exactly how I felt about this one. Same way I felt about the Clarins Double Serum—I loved the texture, the glide, the ritual. Did it transform my skin? Absolutely not. Did I care? Also no. It’s kind of like those little turmeric juice shots I take. I know they’re probably not doing a damn thing, but they make me feel like I’m doing something good for myself.
