Sky finds beauty

Okay so I feel like I have to go and change my “Best moisturizers for oily skin” post, because well, this Clinique gel moisturizer is definitely not the best . Anymore. For me. I absolutely love this innovative idea from Clinique. How come nobody has come out with this customization idea before and really props to Clinique for that. Clinique iD™: Active Cartridge Concentrate for Pores & Uneven Texture But the gel moisturizer just doesn’t moisturize almost at all. I have super oily skin so I loved how mattifying and lightweight this was, but after two months I felt that my skin was getting super oily already an hour after application and well enough is enough. I‘m not sure whether my skin has gotten drier and more dehydrated or unnaturally oily all of the sudden, but this product just isn’t for me anymore, which is a shame, because now officially I haven’t had any good experiences with Clinique’s products.  I always get super excited about their products and at first ev...

If you've read my blog, you should know by now that my skin tends to get pretty oily and it's been a hassle to sort it out. But very recently amongst dealing with bad acne breakouts, I learned a skincare tip that said to moisturize more and to apply moisturizer and THEN face oils. Before I had used only oil at nighttime thinking that it provided enough moisture. Turns out that NO. During the day I've always used moisturizers, but more mattifying and oil-free products, that just don't moisturize enough. And then during nighttime I also didn't moisturize enough, so maybe my skin has been just very dehydrated all this time. When skin is dehydrated the pores become larger and produce more oils for nourishment, which leads to clogged pores. But hydrated skin is more plump, glowy and healthy-looking and can deal with some skin concerns better. So this makes sense why my skin has been acting out so much. Now after cleansing and toning my face, I apply The Ordinary'...

After I found the holy grail Pixi Glow Tonic to be too intense for my skin (it is exfoliating so yeah), I was kinda afraid to try other Pixi products, although I like their style and I think they have great stuff. But since I'm currently dealing with acne scars, vitamin C is mostly suggested and this face toner seemed like a perfect addition to my current skincare routine. This tonic has Ferulic Acid (antioxidant), probiotics and willow bark - all of these are great for fighting acne, boosting collagen production and brightening the skin. I purchased the 100 ml size, because I've been disappointed by skincare products so many times that I'd rather pay and throw away less, if my skin dislikes it. I apply this in the morning and at night after cleansing. I pour some of this on my hands, rub them together and then I pat it all over my face (not the eyes of course). This way I like to think that I get more vitamin C on my face and also save some cotton pads. It works, s...

I realized how much I love to read my older posts and see what products I've used as I've forgotten most of them already. I also love to read and hear about people's favourite products, so I thought I'd recap my last years favourites. Benefit They're Real mascara When I got my hands on this, I was so excited. This mascara has so many good reviews and for a good reason. I've bought it twice now and just love it. Definitely one of the best mascaras I've ever used. Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb So in Italy I found a Sephora and obviously had to buy this amazing lip gloss. I absolutely love how moisturizing it is and the shine and the shade and of course the packaging. Only thing that I find weird is that this lip gloss really sinks into my lips. Like after an hour most of the gloss is gone (into my lips). But still would recommend. Lily Lolo mineral foundation powder Discovering mineral foundations has been one of the best things ever. Th...
