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…

Since I am upping my sunscreen game and am essentially a sunscreen virgin, I wanted to find something that was easy and effective. On a sunscreen-specific trip to Sephora, I picked up the Supergoop! Defense Refresh Setting Mist ($28.00). It’s described as a broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 50 PA+++. It claims to be a matte finish three-in-one: sets makeup,…

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 spent four days in Cancun over this past weekend. All went well; I had a great time, drank a lot, ate a little, relaxed a bit, partied some and took a lot of pictures. Unfortunately, the love affair I have had with the sun for the past 30 years has finally come to an end. An unhappy end that…

The cherry blossoms near my house, gone in April A constant in makeup This shouldn’t come as a surprise, but I am loving my Giorgio Armani Maestro Fusion Foundation. I am used to full coverage foundation such as Make Up For Ever’s Mat Velvet+, but the Armani foundation has been giving me life since I bought it. 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,…

I didn’t expect to like the Aritaum Coenzyme Q10 mask as much as I did. The mask claims to improve the skin’s elasticity. The mask itself isn’t any different than any other basic sheet mask (so I didn’t take a photo of it on my face); it has eye and mouth holes, room for breathing, and fits over your entire…

I received this Karuna Renewal+ Eye Mask as a sample from a Sephora purchase. The mask is supposed to depuff the eye area, so obviously I was happy to see this as a sample. This refreshing, multifunctional eye treatment is made out of 100 percent natural wood-pulp fiber, allowing pores to fully absorb essential nutrients and nourishing ingredients for ultimate…

Yep. You saw that right. Bikini waxing. Well!! How do you remove hair??!! Just as a disclosure, I am writing this post based on my own personal experience. I am not a waxing expert or an esthetician so proceed with caution. I have been waxing for years now. After the first three years of going to the salon every month…

Yes, another eye cream review, and you know what? THIS. STUFF. IS. AWESOME! The funny thing is… I really don’t know why I like it so much. It doesn’t “fix” my eye bags, but somehow the area around my eyes just feels so much brighter and livelier. I am naturally skeptical about eye products (although that doesn’t stop me from…

Happy Sunday Funday! So we all know how much I hate my eye bags. That hate turns me into an unreasonable person sometimes, and I end up buying all these products that don’t work. Well, lucky for me, I didn’t purchase this (it was a gift) and I think it actually works! So what is it exactly?

I just want to start off by saying I went into this looking for something wrong with this foundation because I didn’t like the price tag ($64). I searched high, I searched low, and at the end of the day I could not find one thing wrong with it! Oh well the name of it is super long, but other than…

Well, well, well, what do we have here? I didn’t think I was the type to fall for things like this, but I must admit I am truly curious about this. I have never heard of such a thing and naturally, as a skincare addict, when I came across the Iluminage Beauty Skin Rejuvenating Pillowcase with Copper Oxide, I couldn’t…
