With so much going on in the beauty realm, it’s hard to stay focused on passion. I started this blog because long ago, I discovered I had a love for beauty; all things beautiful. Things that make me feel beautiful, make me look beautiful, and are just beautiful to the eye of the beholder, which in this case is me.…

I have been using Mizon’s Snail Recovery Gel Cream for three months now and it’s time for a report. What makes me most happy about this product is that it has been three months and I still haven’t run out ๐ I’m a little bit over halfway through with it. I use it every single morning and most times at…

Leaders Insolution… leader is a great term for this mask because it was amazing! Well, let me not overdo it. The Leaders Insolution AC Clear Treatment Mask ($1.99) could use some help in the fit area but everything else about this mask was fantastic. Btw, KJ doesn’t endorse the mask but she probably would if she used it ๐ Leaders…

This is one bad ass sheet mask… In my defense, it’s in Korean so I really had no idea it was called “Ultra Whitening” until I looked it up. Still, anyone who is familiar with sheet masks knows that their effects last a day or less. Again, I’m not trying to whiten my skin but I do like it brighter.…

To jump right in, the Skinfood Lemon Brightening Morning Cleanser has proven one valuable lesson: everything that glitters ain’t gold. When I saw “lemon” in this cleanser, I jumped on it because my skin normally responds well to skin care with lemon in it. Well, this one was curious to me. I tried and tried to convince myself that this…

I hope I’m not late to the party, but if I am, it’s totally new to me! I can’t even remember what I was trolling for — I think cucumber sheet masks — when I happened upon Forever 21’s beauty section. I raised an eyebrow when I saw Holika Holika and Peripera amongst the products! Courtesy of Forever21.com

My skin is in awful shape right now. And of course that happens just when I start to feel good about it (side eye). I had a major breakout roughly a week ago, and it wasn’t acne. I’m not sure what it was; the dermatologist says some kind of contact dermatitis which makes sense (I guess) because I have been…

Look at the kitty stretch and be merry! First off, I love the packaging of the Naruko Peptide Purrty Kitty-Eye Lifting Eye Mask! The name of the mask could be abbreviated some, but on to the review! Naruko Peptide Purrty Kitty-Eye Lifting Eye Mask

I have been holding off on reviewing the Holika Holika Soda Pore Cleansing BB Deep Cleansing Oil for some time now, really because I have been trying to find a place for it in my skincare regimen. To start, I have pretty oily skin, with my t-zone being the most oily. This subsides a bit during the winter months, but…

Now this mask was a surprise. I thought it was hydrogel, but apparently… skin gel is not hydrogel. It’s some cotton-gel hybrid alien skin. Kidding about the alien part, obviously. That said, this mask had some pros and it had some cons. And at the end of the day, the Ostia Snail Jade Pure Essence Skin Gel Mask ($4.99) was…

This morning I jolted out of bed with memories of the previous day when a colleague of mine pointed out a difference in the appearance of my skin… Not anything bad, just a difference. It instantly reminded me of how my skin hasn’t been the same since that massive forehead sunburn. I remembered how much I liked the last Lemon…

I’m not gonna lie, I bought this sheet mask for the the packaging. I’m not usually much of a sucker for marketing ploys, but I often need an “after night overtime” mask lol. I wasn’t expecting much from it but I’m actually quite pleased! After a 90’s coverband concert, champagne, and Jack Daniels, I woke up in the morning exactly…

Well, it’s actually a bee and a snail and I guess they had a baby and produced this mask… First off, I had a like-dislike relationship the Benton Snail Bee High Content Mask Pack ($3.00). I really love the construction of the mask, in particular the eye flaps that allow you to cover the area underneath your eyes. I was…

Don’t you just love when things work surprisingly well? Like better than you thought? While this is rare, it’s happened to me with this sunscreen. The only other time I can remember this happening to me is with my Mizon Multi Function Snail Repair Eye Cream. As a sunscreen noob, I did a good amount of research before I settled…

I have just recently finished my second small bottle (can?) of the Missha First Treatment Essence Mist. My first impression of the product was, this is just water. I felt like a dummy spraying my face. But alas! I am a convert! I have just noticed a difference in the overall look of my skin and I like it! I’m…

Guest post time! What’s better than experimenting and playing with makeup and beauty products? When you find someone just as into it as you! I recently had the pleasure of co-starring in a guest post over at beautyandthecat.com. This time, we reviewed Shu Uemura’s Tint in Gelato Lip and Cheek Color in Sugar Plum and Puffy Chocolate! Head on over to…

I am trying to use more sheet masks because they are uber effective and only take 20 min to pamper yourself and transform your skin. I chose the Vita C Fresh Essence Mask from Aritaum this time around. I have been consistently using Vitamin C on my skin and wanted to just supplement it a bit. Aritaum Vita C sheet…

Sheet masks are great. My only problem is I only remember to use them on a “lazy” day where I plan to be in the house all day being domestic. It was a great time for me to use a sheet mask also because of the recent sunburn I got on my forehead. I’m starting the peeling stages and I…

I have pretty big pores… almost offensive. Well, they are offensive to me because how dare they be visible! So when I came across this Daiso Japan Natural Pack Charcoal Peel Off Mask, which I am going to call the charcoal mask going forward, I was intrigued. Before I get into this I want to show you all the product,…
