This month I had the pleasure of going to New York with Angela from Beautyandthecat to catch up with her counterpart, Renee. I took this time to stock up on some beauty products as well as explore what’s new in the world of Asian beauty. Here’s my final haul.

Review: Manyo Factory Galactomyces Special Treatment Essence Niacin

I bought the Manyo Factory Galactomyces Niacin Special Treatment Essence to combat discoloration on my face due to acne scars. What initially attracted me to it was all the ferment talk in the ingredients. I was also drew to it because it’s only got seven ingredients so it seemed on the more “natural” side.

Chile Please: Erborian Black Cleansing Oil Review

I am a huge fan of Erborian, so when I saw a few reviews of their new Black Cleansing Oil giving it high marks I had to get mine out there in the world. This has been sitting in my review queue for some time because I had to be completely sure of how I felt about it.

Review: AmorePacific Treatment Toner

Review: AmorePacific Treatment Toner

The Amorepacific Treatment Toner caught my eye because of the fancy ingredients. I’m not a huge moisturizing toner person, and usually go for acid toners. However, this was my first Amorepacific purchase and it had pretty good reviews so I thought I would splurge on this $50.00 toner.

Review: Blithe Energy Yellow Citrus & Honey Splash Mask

Erborian Double Mousse Aux 7 Herbs Gentle Cleansing Foam

Erborian Double Mousse Aux 7 Herbs Gentle Cleansing Foam

Erborian. A totally underrated brand. The Erborian Double Mousse Aux 7 Herbs  Gentle Cleansing Foam ($28.00) is in the spotlight in this post and I can assure you it makes me feel as good about the brand as their BB sleeping mask.

Forbidden Fruit | COSRX Apple Zone Power Patch

Forbidden Fruit | COSRX Apple Zone Power Patch

As much as I love sheet masks, patches have never really agreed with me; it’s probably more like I never agree with them. I suppose a big reason I should probably stop buying patches is because I use them once and that’s it. But that’s just my personality; when it comes to sheet masks, even, I have to really love…
