Review – Illamasqua Matt Primer
Nobody wants shiny skin and that’s probably why there are literally hundreds (if not thousands) of oil control products on the market at the moment. So where to start? Well one of my all-time favourites is Illamasqua’s Matt Primer – it’s lightweight, runny and controls oil exceptionally well. Developed by makeup artists (don’t worry, it’s [...]

Review – Tinted Daywear SPF30 by Invisible Zinc
Mineral sunscreens are fantastic. They provide sun protection for sensitive skin, you can layer them on top of chemical sunscreen for bulletproof protection, they’re matte and often times they contain enough zinc to actively help calm acne or redness prone skin. Sounds great, right? Well the one major drawback of mineral sunscreens is that in [...]
Review – La Roche Posay Anthelios Sunscreens.
Up for review today are two fantastic sunscreens (well, one fantastic and one great) from esteemed French skincare brand La Roche Posay. One’s a very high protection sunscreen and the other is a high protection sunscreen formulated especially for oily, acne-prone skin. I’m reviewing two sunscreens from their 2010 release: Anthelios XL Very High Protection [...]
Review – Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Liquid Daily Sunblock SPF 55
This is officially my favourite sunscreen American drugstores have to offer. If you’re looking for a fantastic suncreen you can grab locally for cheap, buy this! Read my thoughts after the jump! The first thing you’ll notice when using this sunscreen is how light, runny and generally liquidious it is. There isn’t even a bit [...]

I often recommend using Japanese-made sunscreens on [...]
