I have stood in a Black Friday line once in my life and that’s about all it took to get me to never do it again. Must have been more than ten years ago.

I am guilty of turning my nose up at non-Asian-branded sheet masks but listen, I have come around!

I mostly ignored Drunk Elephant’s Anti Pollution Sunshine Serum when it first came out because I didn’t think it was for me. Then I got to thinking: it’s bronze; I’m basically bronze. It’s only going to complement my skin, right? Right I was. Also, I have been on the search for a tinted moisturizer for my skin tone for forever…

Ulta is having a pretty fabulous sale on their website. Up to 50% off beauty goodies, and not just lame stuff they can’t sell. 40% off the already nicely priced Real Techniques brand is drool-worthy; 50% off Estee Lauder Double Wear Concealer, something I have been wanting to try for a while; 40% off L.A.Girl (I love their concealers).

Grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and relax because I have a review of a sheet mask that I fancy quite a bit. It’s from the Sasa brand and it’s called the Sasatinnie Pink Diamond Revitalizing Biocellulose Mask. My skin type Oily and imperfect.

Well, Sephora has had some goodies on sale for quite a while that may have flown under your radar, with all the new beauty eye candy we get every month.

I purchased The Ordinary Mandelic Acid 10% + HA to combat my dark acne scars. This may be the first product I have purchased with the intention of using it for one thing and it ended up being effective for something else. Have a look at some before and after photos, paying close attention the texture of the skin on…

I know I look like Hannibal Lecter but hear me out! If you’re a person that loves sheet masking you’re gonna wanna try this. And if you’re already doing this, more power to you!
