Back in January 2021, I placed my first ever order on the Quince website, something that has now turned into a years long love affair with the brand. If you’re unfamiliar, they operate a Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) model, which allows them to offer high quality products at affordable prices (and I suspect this would make any sort of wholesale model untenable). At this point, I’ve tried my fair share of products from the brand, all of which I access using mail forwarding as Quince presently only ships within the US (I use Planet Express, if you’re curious). And I thought we…
I recently spent months coveting a pair of shoes, only to finally bite the bullet and find that they were too narrow for me. The shoes were expensive, so naturally I had been keeping an eagle eye out for a flash sale or discount (I use Carted to track price drops BTW – game changing!).

And after much trial and error, I’ve stumbled across the brands that seem to work harmoniously with my combination/oily yet dehydrated skin.
