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…

I am a fan of multitasking. Two birds, one stone. That’s all me. I recently started using a light moisturizer, Valentia Pure Glow Brightening Moisturizer ($25.00). When I received* the moisturizer I was pleasantly surprised at the size of the bottle; you get 4 oz of product for only $25. It’s well-priced, and has a lot of ingredients I venture…

My skincare routine is always changing and evolving. I’ve only recently been comfortable with making moisturizer an important step in my regimen. Why? Because my skin is oily and I am wary of putting things on it that will make it feel weighed down. But all moisturizers are not made equal! And when I got comfortable using them regularly, I…

A few words before getting into this picture preview… The Ordinary is a new skincare line from Deciem meant to shade skin care companies for price gouging. Oops, I meant to say it’s a new skincare line from The Deciem that shows skincare can be effective and affordable. Yay! I ended up choosing the Alpha Arbutin ($8.90) and the Vitamin C…

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 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.…
