Anua Niacinimide 10% Dark Spot Correcting Serum Review
Anua Niacinimide 10% Dark Spot Correcting Serum is an unscented K Beauty brightening serum that is formulated to fade dark spots that occur from sun damage and acne scarring to the skin. It is a lightweight gel that melts into the skin and it hydrates, nourishes and pampers the skin while it works to fade the appearance of hyperpigmentation. The Hyaluronic Acid retains hydration while the oils, such as Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, moisturize the skin. I have a couple of sun spots on my face from overexposure to the sun, and after weeks of daily use, I am starting to see a tiny bit of fading. I look forward to seeing what those spots will look like by the time that I finish this bottle.
The beautiful "pink colored vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) is a fermented plant-derived ingredient, and the color may be lost if exposed to light."
- Containing 10% Niacinamide, 4% Tranexamic Acid and 2% Arbutin, a powerful trio of ingredients to target dull skin, and enlarged pores.
- Infused with Ceramides and Hyaluronic Acid to protect damaged skin barrier, soothe and hydrate the skin. Gentle enough to be used daily, morning and night.
- Non-Greasy watery lightweight texture, easy to absorb and perfect addition to your skincare regimen.
- Made for all types of skin, Fragrance Free, Cruelty-Free.

APRIL 2024 EMPTIES FOR THE FACE, BODY, HAIR & HOME
Spongellé Enchanted Night Body Wash Infused Buffer (Was $18.00, but it was a seasonal limited edition buffer for Halloween from Spongellé): The scent of this Halloween inspired buffer is a wonderfully deep and alluring aroma that is citrusy punctuated by a warm and musky base. It is utterly delectable. I wish that they still had this one available! Purchase Again? I would, but I am happy with the scent I just opened!
Stark Skincare Eclipse Enzymatic Cleanse + Mask ($35.00 for 4 oz. from Stark Skincare and Boxwalla): This lovely gel cleanser, which has a very slight foam, can be used as a traditional cleanser, or as a mask. It boasts a base of Aloe juice that is punctuated by fruit sugar-based Alpha Hydroxy Acids that gently exfoliate without ever stripping the skin. It has a delectable aroma that is informed by cardamom, but it isn't in the least bit overpowering. This antioxidant-rich cleanser leaves skin beautifully exfoliated, hydrated, renewed and glowing. Purchase Again? I would definitely entertain getting it again, but not until I use up more of my open facial cleansers.

Sephora Collection Retractable Rouge Gel Lip Liner in 01 The Nudest
Furthermore, it has a twist up applicator and a small sharpener at the bottom to sharpen the tip of the crayon itself. However, I do not bother with sharpening it since I use it all over my lips as a lipstick, and therefore like the duller tip and wider base. Not only is it the nicest, and most versatile, lip liner in my collection, but it is also by far the most affordable at $13.00.
According to Sephora,
A retractable lip liner with innovative gel-cream formula to enhance the lip contour for a long-lasting, softer appearance. Comes with a built-in sharpener for easy application.
Unique, soft texture of this creamy-gel lip liner's non-drying, innovative, formula glides on lips with ease. Creates fuller-looking lips. Provides a color-matched base for Sephora's existing top-selling #Lipstories and Cream lipsticks.
Directions:
- Apply first to the outer lines of lips to create the perfect contour.
- For added benefit, gradually fill in color all over lips to create the perfect lip base for any Sephora Collection Cream lipsticks.
- Use the included built-in sharpener at the base of each pencil before pencil use.
Precautions:
- Make sure to close the cap tightly to prevent premature drying of this creamy formula.
- The creamy texture of this formula is unlike any lip liners on the market. It is imperative that you are gentle when applying lip pencil to lips as the tips are super soft and will bend with too much force.
Overall Assessment: This has turned into my most reached-for lip product, and I love it so much that I am ordering another one.
$13.00 for 0.076 oz. from Sephora (Affiliate Links). Purchased. All views expressed are categorically my own.

milk_shake curl passion primer review
milk_shake curl passion primer is a wonderful choice for people who have naturally curly hair, like me. milk_shake really understands curly hair, and not every haircare brand does, surprisingly. This spray primer detangles, fights frizz and hydrates hair. It works well for both air and heat drying and it helps enhance curls. It has a wonderful fresh aroma, but it is neither assertive, nor long-lasting.
According to milk_shake,
milk_shake curl passion primer is a perfect curl primer. Detangles and hydrates curls while sealing the cuticles. It facilitates the styling of the curls which last longer, leaving the hair soft and shiny. It can also be used the day after styling to revive curls. Ideal for blow-drying with a brush or diffuser.
milk_shake curl passion is a product range created for impeccable results; solutions developed to reveal the natural beauty of curly hair, for perfect curls. Waves, ringlets or natural curls will always be dreamy with the right treatment and nourishment.
Shiny, well-kept curls are many women’s dream. However, natural wavy or curly hair requires more maintenance than it may seem. The first important step is correct cleansing and conditioning. Using a specific shampoo is particularly important to give the right nourishment without weighing the hair down. The conditioner is the second step towards perfect curls. It should be applied to lengths and ends to give the right hydration. Often, the common frizz effect seen in curly hair is caused by a lack of hydration. During this conditioning phase, it will be easy to comb curls with a wide tooth comb. The leave in treatment completes the haircare routine, enhancing the effect of the conditioner and preparing the hair for drying
The milk_shake® curl passion range is enriched an oil complex from plants from the Amazon rainforest, contributing to the performance of our milk_shake® curl passion products, enveloping the hair and helping to keep hair elastic as well as repairing damage.
Directions: As a primer: spray on clean, damp hair. As a retouch: product, spray on dry hair from a distance of 20 cm.
Ingredients: Aqua (Water), Alcohol Denat., Ceteareth-25, PEG/PPG-25/25 Dimethicone, Amodimethicone, Parfum (Fragrance), Polyquaternium-11, Hydrolyzed Milk Protein, Pentaclethra Macroloba Seed Oil, Orbignya Oleifera Seed Oil, Butylene Glycol, Trideceth-10, Cetrimonium Chloride, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Extract, Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene, Hydrolyzed Quinoa, Benzyl Benzoate, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract, Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract, Benzyl Salicylate, Coumarin, Amyl Cinnamal, Linalool, Citric Acid, Geraniol, Citronellol, Tocopherol.
Overall Assessment: milk_shake curl passion collection is a best friend to curly hair, and as a result their products are among my most-reached-for daily picks. A+
