Hype: it’s what drives many purchases in the skincare world, and I’m not embarrassed to say (well, maybe a little embarrassed) that I fall for hype quite a bit. Sometimes that FOMO drive leads me to winners like the Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum Ex and the Klairs Supple Preparation Toner. Other times, the products… Read More Review: Whamisa Organic Flowers Nourishing Day & Night Cream
Sorry for the posting hiatus–I was on a trip in the British Isles for a week and a half, (which was absolutely lovely). I brought enough sheet masks to do one each night, although I wasn’t brave enough to actually use one on the plane. I didn’t want to embarrass or freak out the teenagers… Read More Review: Holika Holika Skin & Good Cera Toner
This review will be a slight departure from my normal reviews in that I’m looking at a product from a well-known luxury Korean brand. I know it’s been mostly lower to low-mid-range products around these parts. When it comes to skincare, I’ve never put too much stock in the idea that the more you pay, the better a product is.… Read More Review: Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum Ex
Yes, another Klairs product for review. I find that pretty much everything in the line works to fulfill their claims, and I’ve granted one of them status as my favorite toner (see my review of the Klairs toner). Although, they seem a bit redundant to use all at once in one routine (see my review… Read More Review: Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream
The hype leading up to the release of the Cosrx PHA cream–including the rumors swirling about the creation of the cream–was pretty intense, at least in the AB (Asian Beauty) communities online. Cosrx has a pretty big fanbase here in the US, in which I include myself. PHAs, or polyhydroxy acids, are a newish type… Read More Review: Cosrx PHA Moisture Renewal Power Cream
Oil cleansing is actually my favorite step of the skincare process. My face usually feels dry and gross after a day of wearing sunscreen and makeup, so smoothing an oil cleanser over it just feels goooood. In fact, a couple of months ago, based on the advice of other bloggers, I started letting the oil… Read More Oil Cleansers and Balms: A Comparative Review
As you may remember, I love the Klairs Supple Preparation Toner. I’ve gone through 2 bottles so far, with a third in my stash, and as a result, I was incredibly curious about the Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Serum. My skin leans towards sensitive and dry, so I’m always on the lookout for soothing, hydrating… Read More Review: Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Serum
Sorry I’ve been away for awhile. Work has been relentless, and I attended a conference about a week ago, which was wonderful, but naturally put me behind. I’m mostly caught up now and thought it was about time that I reviewed two products that I’ve been using for a couple of weeks now: the Leaders… Read More Review: Leaders Labotica Argan Oil and Green Tea Cleansing Tissues
Skincaretainment (or skintertainment) is a term you may see on Asian Beauty blogs, thanks yet again to the awesome Tracy at Fanserviced-b. According to Tracy, (click the link to read more) this was a term actually used by a panelist in Korea talking about Korean beauty products. Basically, they’re talking about skincare that is also fun and… Read More Review: Too Cool For School Egg Mousse Pack
Tracy over at Fanserviced-b reviewed the A’pieu Madecassoide Cream a few days ago, which reminded me to get my ass in gear and review my two favorite, stellar A’pieu products, their Pure Medic Provatamin-B5 Lotion and Pure Medic Provitamin B5 Intense Cream. (It also made me want to buy the A’pieu Sea Buckthorn Cream! Gah.… Read More Review: A’pieu Pure Medic Provitamin-B5 Purity Lotion and Intense Cream
