Layering Oils

December 15, 2014

I'm all about layering skincare - a must in dry or cold climates - but I've suddenly discovered the magic of layering oil. I don't know about you, but I always thought one oil at a time was enough for one girl's skincare routine!

Then, as I was indecisive about what moisturizer sample I wanted to layer one night, I gave up and slathered on more oil! imagine my surprise when my skin felt hydrated and somehow not at all slippery. Seriously, why haven't I tried this before?

The Pai Rosehip Bioregenerate Oil (review) really soaks into my winter skin, while Kahina Giving Beauty Serum (review) just helps to make a barrier and lock in moisture. I've been loving the combination lately, and am thinking I should throw my much loved African Botanics Neroli Marula Oil into the mix...

Have you ever layered oils before? How did it work for you? Are there ingredient combinations that you love or would recommend? I'd love to know! :)

Kate Somerville Anti Bac review

Fight Blemishes with Kate Somerville Anti Bac

December 1, 2014

Kate Somerville is a brand I always keep my eyes on. I haven't used much from the brand, but there are always products that intrigue me. In the fall, I was starting to run low on my trusty (and discontinued!) Murad spot treatment, so I decided to try out a treatment from Kate Somerville instead. I debated between the standard spot treatment, the D-Scar, and landed on the Anti Bac Acne Clearing Lotion.

Trialing Mini Cleansers

November 10, 2014

After I finished my last cleanser, I've been going through my stash of deluxe samples to see what else I might fall in love with. There's a whole lot of cleansers on trial over here at BB HQ, and while I haven't found a new favorite, there are definitely some good ones in the bunch.

Kahina Giving Beauty Serum Review

♡ Kahina Giving Beauty Serum

October 13, 2014

I've been on a green skincare kick lately, and this serum from Kahina Giving Beauty has been such a staple these last few months. I had never tried the brand before purchasing one of the A Night for Green Beauty x Goodebox collaborations at the beginning of the summer, and all I can say is that I wished I purchased every one of their boxes!
