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…
