Side note: I’m not sure how people go on the OMAD (one meal a day) diet. My stomach would protest too much, methinks. I’m constantly wiping it off before I start eating, then reapplying after I’m done eating, only to have to wipe it off again when I inevitably get a rumbly in my tumbly again. https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/jeju-hyaluronic-sleeping-mask-review/ Wed, 01 May 2019 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/jeju-hyaluronic-sleeping-mask-review/ At TJ Maxx, you can expect that 100% of the time, you won’t need to pay the full “list price”—unlike Sephora, where you typically expect to shell out whatever is listed as the retail price (though it admittedly has a fabulous return policy). I picked up Jeju:en Hyaluronic Acid Sleeping Mask as part of a recent TJ Maxx skin care haul. I had never heard of this brand, but the packaging looked very sleek and polished, and I thought it was worth a try. https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/pure-smile-pearl-sheet-mask-review/ Sat, 23 Mar 2019 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/pure-smile-pearl-sheet-mask-review/ My local Ricky’s NYC recently shut down (RIP), so I guess I’ll need to find another neighborhood joint to satisfy my skin care fix. Ricky’s NYC always carried a great mix of luxury and affordable skin care and hair care products there, as well as international imports, including the Japanese sheet mask I’m going to review today. I bought this Pure Smile Pearl Sheet Mask because I was intrigued by the name. https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/gatsby-cool-type-shaving-gel-review/ Tue, 22 Jan 2019 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/gatsby-cool-type-shaving-gel-review/ Gatsby is a Japanese-based brand that makes hair gels, shave gels, and other men’s grooming products. When I heard about this brand in the past, I always wondered it if was indeed an ode to F. Scott Fitzgerald’s famous novel, The Great Gatsby. It turns out that it really is: read the company’s about page to read the full story, but basically, Gatsby’s founder was inspired by the lifestyle of the novel’s title character. https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/american-crew-fiber-review/ Thu, 18 Oct 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/american-crew-fiber-review/ Today we’re diving back into the world of men’s hair grooming products: American Crew Fiber. This is a small tub of hair product that is supposed to add shape and appealing texture to your hair. American Crew did a partnership to feature Elvis on its products, which is what you see here: I wonder what kind of hair products Elvis used? His hair was always so voluminous and rich. Actually, hair fiber is supposed to help thicken short hair, by providing a high degree of hold and rich texture.
