I spent three full days in New York over the holiday weekend with Angela and Renee from Beautyandthecat and it was great; one of the best. There was nothing out of the ordinary; there was shopping, there was eating, and there was karaoke! I suppose it was more of a much-needed distraction from all the happenings in the world. I…

This moisturizer is great. Can you tell I like it? Sometimes it’s hard to rate a moisturizer, especially if it doesn’t have any multitasking properties. The Erborian Bamboo Creme Frappee ($43.00) is just a moisturizer that moisturizes your skin. Nothing more, nothing less. I like that the brand doesn’t claim that it does some out-of-this-world thing like make wrinkles disappear.…

As ludicrous as that question sounds, I often find myself with that question in the back of my head and sometimes angry and at the front of it. As a product junkie and beauty blogger, I am always trying new… well, everything. New skincare, new hair stuff, new makeup. I don’t have sensitive skin, and it hardly reacts to anything,…

The IPKN Calendula Massage Cleansing Cream is a product I wanted to love so bad, but just couldn’t. I got this in a Hautelook flash sale long ago, along with a gel eyeliner from the brand, and was attracted to the claims it made and all of the natural ingredients. Just look at that: celery, broccoli, carrot, tomato… all the…

Sometimes I feel like not venturing out and just sticking to what I know, but then that would make me the worse beauty addict… and it’s just not possible for me to do that. I thought that because I loved the Biore UV Perfect Face Milk, I would be ok with the Biore UV Perfect Bright Milk, but I was wrong.…

The Jeju Volcanic Lava Clay Mask Pack from The Face Shop is a pretty good mask. My absolute favorite part of it is the packaging; it comes in a metal pump can so that when you need product, you don’t have to dip your fingers in anything. For me, dipping my hand in jars of clay is a minor annoyance…

I haven’t had much luck with Innisfree products; none that I have used thus far have ever wowed me. I think my luck has changed, though. I received the Green Tea Seed Serum as part of a care package from my sister who lives in South Korea. My first impression of the serum was one of hesitance. It’s quite fragranced…

Kakaooooo Talk – Yes I have the app and Obama screams that at me whenever I get a message. These masks came from the same place as the app — Angela from Beautyandthecat! Oh, she spoils me 🙂

On my third try, I was able to get everything I wanted in the Soko to Tokyo 5-Peice Skincare Set at Sephora ($25.00). I chose: Amore Pacific Moisture Bound Skin Energy Hydration Delivery System (Mist) (1 oz) Boscia Exfoliating Peeling Gel (1.7 oz) Erborian Ginseng Milk (1 oz) Shiseido Perfect Cleansing Oil (1.3 oz) Skin Inc Pure Deepsea Hydrating Mask…

I did not love the My Ipkn Gelstealer Pen Liner the first time I tried it. I actually didn’t love it the second time I tried it either. This liner behaved like uncomfortable leather shoes you need to “break in” before you truly start loving them. The liner was skittish; I would need to go over the same line before…

I want to talk about the Tosowoong Aloe Sheet Mask ($2.00) because it did something really strange to me. I have had this small… er… population of lurker zits hiding under my right cheek for at least three months, likely more. You know, the kind that you can feel underneath your skin, but they just haven’t shown their ugly faces.…

My face has never felt this good from a sheet mask. I even repeated the exact process with different sheet masks and I did not get these results. I want to first talk about the Tosowoong Dr. Troubex Sparkling Mask , and then the Daiso Silicon Mask Cover. I don’t know who Dr. Troubex is, but he/she is amazing. Certainly…

Sometimes it’s exhausting writing about lackluster products but I think it’s necessary. That said, today’s review is Innisfree Sea Salt Perfect Cleanser. I didn’t find anything particularly wow-ing about this and don’t use it often for that reason. However, I did find an interesting use for it. Innisfree Sea Salt Perfect Cleanser

Beauty is pain. And as far as this post is concerned, I mean that on all levels. Confession #1: I often do not read the directions on beauty products that seem like common sense. This is bad. Well, it hasn’t proved to be regrettable (yet), but I should really do better. The Mediheal APL Film Capping Pack is one of the…

I was really excited to try the Mediheal E.G.T. Timetox Ampoule Mask because of the scientific phrase, “epidermal growth therapy.” Yes, I’m a huge nerd. This was my first Mediheal mask, and it won’t be my last.

Today, I want to talk about sheet masks, in particular, from a brand called WHEN. You might have seen them in Sephora or Ulta, and I’m going to talk about three of them today. About the brand: When has been around since July 2011 and specializes in sheet masks. They are a Korean company (which I love) and has expanded…

More! More! Mooooore! Do you see the creepy girl on the cover of the mask pack? I get why she’s into her face. I loved this mask, and the idea of it. When I first received the Yadah Anti-T Mask Pack, I gave a side-eye to the small packaging; but behold! Sometimes big things come in small packages. This mask fit…

I was a skeptic of facial mists for a long time until I became a huge fan of Missha’s First Treatment Essence Mist. The mist worked so well for me, I set out on a campaign to try other mists to see if I would see any differences in my skin, as I had with the Missha mist. One thing…

When I bought the SNP Gold Collagen Ampoule Mask (~$3.00), I wasn’t expecting it to have actual gold in it. Well, it does; little gold flecks, in fact! SNP Gold Collagen Ampoule Mask
