The Perfect Combination for Acne Marks and Dark Spots

For the longest time, I have battled with adult acne. I’ve tried out numerous things including actual medicine that you intake and topical treatments from dermatologists. While a bunch of them helped in controlling the breakout, none of them ever helped with the hideous aftermath of the battle.

So I was left with a lot of marks and scarring — all fucked up and ugly and really pushing my anxiety and insecurity level to the edge.

Wayne Goss wasn’t Kidding; The Ordinary Serum Foundation is Legit

Excuse me, but I think I may have found my Holy Grail foundation! And it’s been a while because the last foundation that I considered as my HG was MAC’s Studio Fix — one that has become too heavy and full for my preference these past few months.

The Ordinary Serum Foundation is probably one of the most talked-about foundations of 2017 (next to Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty), so the bandwagon-er in me could not pass up on giving it a try regardless of the fact that I stopped using foundation in the first quarter of last year.

Prime Time with The Ordinary High-Adherence Silicone Primer

I’m not sure why silicones on makeup always have this negative connotation to it. I, for one, associate silicones with boob jobs. But hey, I have sort of a perverted mind so… let’s not get off-topic and let’s keep that between us, okay?

My main issue today, though, is not with silicones or boob jobs but with face primers in general and how I think they’re nothing but a bunch of gimmicky shit that brands use to earn more money from unknowing consumers.

14 Days After: The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA

By now, I think we’ve all heard of DECIEM’s The Ordinary. It’s most likely one of the most-talked-about recently-launched beauty brands in the world today! And most of us probably have the Wayne Goss to thank for that (if you don’t know who he is, what the fuck are you doing with your life?).

So the first product from the brand that I tested out is the Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA. If you’re not familiar with Arbutin, it’s  a glycoside extracted from a bearberry plant that prevents the formation of melanin. It is, therefore, one of the most common ingredients in a lot of whitening, skin-lightening products.
