Lancome Rose Sugar Scrub Review

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Over the years, I’ve become very serious about my skin problems. One of the important things I needed to focus on is what I expose my skin to. I’ve tried many beauty products, but many of them have ingredients that irritate my skin or I am allergic to. One of the ones I am not allergic to is Lancome’s Rose Sugar Scrub.

I love to save money whenever I can, but since taking my skin problems seriously, I’ve had to stop using more cost friendly products. This includes face scrubs. Today, Lancome’s Rose Sugar Scrub is one of the ones I can still use without worrying about allergies and irritants. It is also one of the most expensive facial scrubs I’ve tried.

Recently, I decided to review some of my old favorite products that I use on a regular basis. Since the Rose Sugar Scrub is one of them, I decided to write a review about it.

Skylar Salt Air Fragrance Review (With The Summer I Turned Pretty Limited Edition Packaging)

Published on by essieofwho1 Comment

It’s July and that means it’s time to review another fragrance from Skylar. I love Skylar’s fragrances and how they are hypoallergenic. For summer 2025, I decided to review the three fragrances that were part of a collaboration for season 2 of The Summer I Turned Pretty.

Like with the previous fragrance I reviewed, Capri Summer, this fragrance is exactly the same as the non limited edition version. The packaging, on the other hand, is part of Skylar’s collaboration with The Summer I Turned Pretty. I decided to use it for reference photos. Also, just for reference, the third and final season of The Summer I Turned Pretty will premiere next week.

Laneige Sweet Candy Lip Sleeping Mask Review

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

For many years, I’ve been interested in Asian beauty brands. My love for these brands stems from health problems and allergies to many easily accessible beauty brands in the Unites States. My friends suggested I try Asian beauty brands due to their clean ingredients. I tried some of the brands, fell in love with their products and how well they works for me, and I never looked back.

Sadly, over the years many of the brands I used to love now include ingredients that irritates my skin. Because of this, I had to discontinue using their products. One of the products I haven’t needed to discontinue is Laneige’s Lip Sleeping Mask.

In more recent years, Laneige’s Lip Sleeping Mask became infamous online due to it’s popularity with children. Because of this, I debated if I should write a review post about it. I decided to go ahead with it because it has become one of the last brands and products I love and can still use from Asian skincare brands that can be purchased reasonably easily in the United States.

Bath and Body Works Fireworks Pop Shower Gel and Fine Fragrance Review

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

The 4th of July is next week. For me, this time of the year means I’m usually staying inside to escape the heat of summer! Even though I normally stay inside whenever possible, I still try to celebrate the holiday and summer in general no matter  if I’m inside or not.

One of the ways I tried to celebrate the 4th of July is by using certain beauty and self care products. I isn’t much, but it is something I notice and enjoy. One of my favorite beauty product to use for this reason is Bath and Body Works’ Fireworks Pop Shower Gel. I noticed I never publish a review post about the shower gel, so I decided to write a review post about one of my favorite beauty products for summer. I will also talk about the fine fragrance version of it.

Vaseline Lip Therapy Advanced Healing Review

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

For many years, there were certain lip balms I would turn to in order to heal my chapped lips. Vaseline’s Lip Therapy Advanced Healing was one of them.

This year I am trying old lip balms and products to see if I like them anymore. This one was one of the lip products I wanted to try the most.

Skylar Capri Summer Fragrance Review

Published on by essieofwho1 Comment

I have many beauty brands I love and highly recommend. One of them is Skylar. Skylar is a clean beauty fragrance brand. I discovered it many years ago while searching for new beauty companies to try. I was specifically searching for brands with hypoallergenic products. Skylar was one of the one I discovered.

After trying it for the first time, I quickly became a fan of the brand. I still enjoy their fragrances and enjoy the relief of using a fragrance that isn’t going to aggravate my allergies.

Summer has started and it’s time to bring out my favorite summer fragrances. Since I’m in a summer state of mind (Fragrance wise) I wanted to review one of my favorite summer fragrances from Skylar: Capri Summer.

LoveShackFancy Sugar Blush Hair and Body Mist Review

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

LoveShackFancy is a fashion and lifestyle brand I like, but don’t own many things from. Despite this, I enjoy looking at LoveShackFancy’s website and the collaboration collections. Out of all the things to buy from LoveShackFancy, the ones I’m always the most interested in are their fragrances.

Last year, LoveShackFancy released a line of hair and body mists. These mists caught my eye because they cost less than their line of perfumes and they have scent notes I like in fragrances. After thinking about them, I decided to purchase two of the mists. The first one I tried is Sugar Blush.

NEST New York Turkish Rose Perfume Oil Review

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

I’ve been a fan of rose scented products for years, but finding rose fragrance I like can be hit or miss. For the most part, I don’t like the other scent notes in them.

When I discovered NEST New York’s Turkish Rose Perfume Oil, I was interested. I smelled really good, but I was more curious about the fact it is a perfume oil. I wanted to know how well it would work on my skin. Also, the scent notes was very interesting to me.

Maybelline New York Baby Lips 05 Quenched Review

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Last month, I decided to get rid of all my old lip balms. They either no longer worked or were irritating my skin. That was when I decided to turn to an old lip balm line I used to love, Baby Lips by Maybelline.

I used to love this lip balm line, but I had to discontinue using it due to health problems that included allergies and skin problems. Although the lip balms didn’t cause the irritations I suffered from, I was advised to take no chances and to get rid of all my old favorite beauty products. Today, I am doing much better and can now use many of my old beauty products again.

When I decided to replace my old lip balms with Baby Lips balms, I decided to purchase three different balms from the line. I already wrote a blog post about the first balm I used, Dr Rescue, in a post here. After using Dr Rescue, my lips healed enough to start using other balms. The second balm I decided to use is 05 Quenched.
