Today I have something quite interesting to share with you all and it is my ‘no makeup’ makeup routine. I have been trying to wear less makeup, reasons being both super lazy and better for my skin as I have oily/combo, acne prone skin. Click the little ‘read more’ button to check the products I recommend out.
At some point in life, we would all come across beauty and skincare products that just do not work for us. Due to the different skin types and conditions, not every products would be necessarily work for you. Today, I would like to share some of the products that I believe they are just a hot mess or just an fail match to me. Please note that I love these brands and own other products from the brands but the following products just were kind of like a nightmare to me. If you have sensitive, oily/combination skin, light to medium skin colour, dry hair roots or with Asian complexion (olive/yellow undertones), these might be helpful tips on not to try these products out.
It is finally getting into winter in Sydney, Australia, which means it is getting dryer. My favourite season of the year has to be summer but I don’t really mind winter except for the super cool days with sharp winds blowing onto my face. What’s good about winter? I guess the hotpot dates, hot chocolate dates and of course the lazy days. I am a hot food person, I love a good bowl of hot udon in a cold winter day, it just warms up my body instantly. What about you?
crazy thing about this beginning of winter is that I have realised I am experiencing combination skin and I have some dry patches which made my skin flaky. All the boys and girls with combination skin will totally understand the struggle of being too oily and too dry at the same time but I am here to help! Today I really wanted to recommend you all with something more affordable and product that works for me.
Read moreHello all,
this week I am here to recommend you all with my favorite facial exfoliant, which is also by one of my favourite brands – Aesop.
Today I want to share my swear-by facial cleanser that I have been using for a while. As a first official blog post, I want to share to you all something that really works for me and I hope it will help you too 🙂
My name is Charlene, 19 years old, living in Sydney Australia and I have been blogging for a long time on WordPress. A few years ago I decided to stop my blogging journey because I did not feel inspired by the things I was passionate about + I was going through changes from high school to university.
So why did I decide to create a brand new blog and ditching the one I still have – Basic Spirit Blog . because I felt like I have changed my style and how I really wanted to approach to my audience; therefore it would be beneficial for me to start from the scratch.
As a 19 years old girl living in a major city, I have noticed how skincare has really changed my outlook in life and how the products make me feel way more confident. Through this platform, I mainly want to introduce you to my swear-by products for mostly combination/oily skin friends and featuring Australia local brands as I have always loved supporting small businesses.
So what can you expect from this blog? I would give you the best insight to my skincare routine and update you all on new products that I have been trying, whether they really work or not. I will also find deal and cheaper alternatives for luxury skincare brands to cater for those who just want to try the formula out but do not wish to pay a massive amount of money on it yet.
Stay tune to this page and I hope we can get connected real soon!
Thank you!
Charlene ♡
