Product & Brand Reviews

Even thought we’ve been working remotely (most of us) for almost a year, it’s still incredibly important to wear sunscreen. If your new work-from-home station is by a window, guess what, ya need sunscreen! This Supergoop sunscreen is a pretty new product in their collection, and in Supergoop fashion, they are doing some pretty fun things with formula and texture.

I’m honestly a little mad I didn’t hear about Avya Skincare sooner. They are based in Texas, and do a fantastic job mixing innovation/technology with natural ingredients. What’s so interesting about this brand is they have a unique differentiator in the marketplace: they created a skincare line specifically for people who have higher melanin levels.

Was finally able to get my hands on the Golde Superfood Latte Sampler! Currently you can only pre-order their 4.2oz blends.

K-beauty brand CNP Laboratory, created Propolis Energy Ampule Mask, a two step sheet mask that’s supposed to provide nutrients and hydration to the skin. Both steps contain propolis (bee glue) extract from bee hives, which is supposed to have antibacterial, antiviral, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties.

Are you familiar with Cocokind? If not, let’s talk about them for a moment. They are based out of San Francisco and have created everything from masks to make up. Their products cater to all skin types, and most of their formulas contain certified organic ingredients. They not only urge you to recycle their products, a message seen throughout their site, but and go above and beyond skincare.

I’ve never used anything from The Oozoo before, they are Korean beauty company that’s trying to push the boundaries of skincare using new technology/innovation.

I have acne prone skin, and a big fan of doing overnight spot treatments. I typically use a face mask, but with the resurgence of zit stickers, I have come to love them once again. With so many to choose from, I decided to try a few brands to see which is the most effective!

Always looking for brow growth options to help undo what the over-plucking I did in the early 2000s. I was thrilled to find a natural growth serum, but incredibly skeptical of the results.

I never understood face mists — I actually perceived them as an unnecessary luxury. I have oily skin, so I felt no need to add more dew to it. While some face sprays just provide extra moisture, there’s a group of face mists on the market now that do a bit more. Osea has one of them.
