    Minor Figures

    Discovered this on a holiday once (tried the oat latte) and have been praying that I see this in supermarkets nearby ever since. Absolutely loved the taste, the packaging is cute and everything was well rounded and well 'blended', - maybe this part doesn't make a lot of sense, but I sometimes feel like you can taste parts coffee, parts alternative milk with pre-made alternative-milk coffees). Would 100% repurchase again.

    Oatly

    Although this oat milk is a bit more expensive, I do enjoy their barista version when making lattes and in winter enjoy their cacao-drink. In a personal opinion, i do not like their oat yoghurt. It has a bit of a distinct taste, that even though it was with a berry-flavour was noticeable.

    COSRX

    I've only used the COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patch a few times so far and I do feel like they seem to work quite well. Each time the pimple has reduced quite a bit and depending on how long i've left it on, the whitehead has 'softened' and is removed together with taking off the patch or has gone entirely. Since my acne has been getting a bit worse, i'm planning on testing the AC Collection Acne Patch and their AC Collection Lightweight Soothing Moisturizer (will be updating this review after that :) )

    Brita

    Always had a Brita at home, and definitely loved the ease of having filtered water at home. There are two reasons I stopped using it, (1) is that back the can itself is quite big and unpractical to stall somewhere in the fridge, and (2) is that the refill for the filters are relatively expensive. I see that now the collection has updated a bit, they offer smaller carafes that are less uncomfortable in sizing. :)

    Has been a staple in The Netherlands and I've been a fan ever since I've discovered it. Tried a lot of flavours but the one with salted caramel is my go to (orange packaging). If I were to say a downside (really minor) it's that the 'seal' chunk in the bar itself can be quite hard/ big to bite through.

    Pacifica

    I recently have been introduced to Pacifica when I was browsing for some more sustainable skincare 'gadets'. I've stumbled upon their re-usable under eye masks and along with this purchase I also bought their eye cream and got a smaller tester of their Vegan CollagenOvernight Recovery Cream. Honestly all the products have been so nice to use (I am pleasantly surprised by the eye masks, they fit so well, are easy to clean and keep being sticky even after plenty of uses - and they look kinda cute with the white and purple pattern on it), also the eye cream and the vegan collagen recovery cream where so nice to use. They were easy to use, not too thick and left a smooth and pleasant feeling on the skin.

    Murad Skincare

    Since getting (and removing) my IUD, i've started to struggle with hormonal acne (which has been going on for about a year now). I've tried several brands, and although no brand delivered the absolute smooth skin they promised, the test kit from Murad did do some smaller wonders. The 'acne control'-test kit contained a few travel-sized bottles and was relatively cheap. And one of the biggest perks was, that the smaller tubes went on for quite a while (especially the cleanser and day cream). I did enjoy using the projects and have purchased the full-sized SPF day cream (also from the acne-control line) since it was so nice to use and didn't feel very greasy on top of my combination skin. So I guess I would recommend this product, although consistent use did not help me get rid of my acne i did end up finding a pleasant SPF day cream that is nice to use on my skin. :)

    BAGGU

    I have recently purchased their 13”(/14”) puffy laptop sleeve for my new Macbook Pro 14”. I didn’t knew Baggu before the purchase but absolutely loved the puffy design in combination with the bright colours, although I knew it was a bit of a gamble since it was a 13” sleeve for a 14” Macbook. I was over the moon when my laptop was able to smoothly slide into the sleeve and is now pretty (well) protected by the Baggu cover.

    Feedback

    I would’ve loved a extra part for the adaptor or a trackpad - although I do understand that might be a bit more difficult to add to the padded-design without changing the overall look.

    Makes up for a fun game night. When playing it for the first time, it might take a while to get into the game vibe but once there, it’s definitely a fun game to play with your friends. Such a nice way to discover the different types of humor (dark, absurd, dry..) as well. :) Also love that the manual is written in the same absurd tone of voice as the game tries to convey.

    The Ordinary

    I do enjoy using the products but so far I haven’t discovered a product that I would repurchase. I have recently purchased the The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG 30ml (which is enjoyable to apply, but tends to get a bit more ‘sticky’ while drying), and I have had the The Ordinary AHA 30% en BHA 2% Peeling Solution and the Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution for a while now and both are kind of the same story. Enjoyable to use but not necessarily game changers for me. Although I might try to use the toning solution as a deodorant as some have suggested/tipped.

    Feedback

    Price-quality wise I think the products are definitely worth it, although for me personally I haven’t noticed much difference whilst using the products.
