/Skin/ Pixi Vitamin Wakeup Mist


this was purchased by me

I've been into mists lately. They're a great way to hydrate and cool the skin on the go. I have been using Pixi products for a while and bought this based on Caroline Hirons' recommendations for Pixi products. At the time of my purchase there was a sale going on so I took the chance and bought it. It's been a few months since I started using it. Let's see how things turned out.

/Hair/ Garnier Nutrisse Nourishing Color Creme Hot Chocolate/Medium Nude Brown


this was purchased by me.

Even though it looks like I recently did a post about coloring my hair, that was last year. And since then I have colored a bit. This was my first time using a Garnier hair dye so I wanted to relay my experience with it.

/Fragrance/ The Body Shop Black Musk Body Mist


this was purchased by me.


The first real post of the year is featuring The Body Shop. I've been really into perfumes and fragrances this past year. I started going to Fragratica to check notes of perfumes I was considering to buy or was just interested in. The reason why I got this body mist is because I had a sample of YSL's Black Opium that I liked. However, it was kind of expensive. I checked the Fragrantica page and so many people were saying that The Body Shop's Black Musk was pretty similar. Soooo, when they were having a sale I decided to try this out.

/Fragrance/ Burberry My Burberry Blush Eau de Parfum


this was purchased by me.

I think this is a new category for my blog. I haven't reviewed a fragrance before, but I have talked about how products smell (milky, floral, sweet). I hope to review more fragrances in the future as This is something I purchased a while ago from Sephora and have recently started using. I was expecting good things from the scent description so let's see if it's as good as I hoped it would be.

/Skin/ Tony Moly Wonder Rice Smoothing Toner


this was purchased by me.

I have been suffering from so much dry skin lately. It was towards the end of winter in Korea when I purchased this from Gmarket. It promises to clarify, hydrate, brighten, and soften. Plus it was on sale so I was basically sold. After using it in my skincare routine for a few months, here's what I think.

/Skin/ Holika Holika Aloe 99% Soothing Gel


this was purchased by me

Since my skin has been super dry lately, I decided to add this to my routine. Aloe is known to have soothing and healing properties so I researched which aloe gels in Korea were formulated without alcohol (skin irritant). It was either this or the aloe gel from Etude House. I picked Holika Holika because it was cheaper and it came with a free gift ^^

/Make-Up/ Tony Moly BCDation+


this was purchased by me.

I go this foundation a few months ago because I needed a base that would be hydrating for my face. After browsing around Gmarket, I happened to find this on sale. The description was everything I was looking for.

/Lips/ Etude House Woo Baby Plumping Tint


this was purchased by me

I'd always wanted to try these lip tints and I finally bought them on sale a few months ago. 1+1 sales are always to best^^
I was intrigued by the idea of a plumping tint and I liked the idea of it being a little glossy. On to the review!

/Skin/ CosRx Low pH Good Morning Cleanser



this was purchased by me

A few months ago, my skin was seriously dry. It was irritated and flaky; not good for all. So I went on a skin saving quest at my local Olive Young trying to find items that would ail my misery. After reading the description of this cleanser, I decided to give it a go because it's slightly more acidic and won't make skin feel tight after a wash. Let's take a closer look.

/Skin/ Etude House Genie Pure Jelly Multi Balm


this was purchased as a gift for me.

This is a recently launched product from Etude House. I found it near the register as other things were being paid for and the cashier recommended I try it. The multi balm is supposed to be used "anytime, anywhere, as needed! Skin-soothing omnipotent balm provides moisture and nourishment." That's something I definitely need during these dry winter months.

/Hair/ Hey Mix See:real Savory Almond & Brown Hair Color


this was purchased by me.

It's been a while since I colored my hair. I picked this up last weekend. My regular hair dye wasn't at the store I went to, but this was on sale and it seemed similar so I decided to try it. Was it any good?

/Skin/ Innisfree The Minimum Ampoule Essence


this was purchased by me


It's interesting to see how my skin has changed throughout the years, especially since the start of this blog. From oily irritated skin to dry/dehydrated irritated skin, I've had to overhaul my skincare regimen. This is something I picked up when my skin was suuuuuupppper dry and flaky and in desperate need of help.

/Make-up/ Etude House Double Lasting Foundation


this was purchased by me

Etude House's latest foundation is long-lasting that "provides perfect cover and thin, fitting feel." I got this during the summer as it was the first time my make-up has ever melted off my face and I wanted a base that would stay put.

/Skin/ Korres Greek Yogurt 3-in-1 Cleansing, Toning and Eye Make-up Removing Emulsion

So I've been gone from review blogging and I'm trying to start off the year by getting my blog mojo back. It's taking a little longer than I expected. I knew Netflix was a time black-hole (is anyone else totally into F is for Family & Bojack Horseman?), but working and quitting and family visits and getting late night Skype interviews can also leave one physically drained to do anything. I still have to finish my final project to get my TEFL certification! Stress.
Anyway....let's get to what this post is about.


this was purchased by me

Ever since I got hooked on Caroline Hirons I've been picky with my cleansers, toners, serums moisturizers--my whole skincare routine. I decided to try this milky cream cleanser from Korres because 1) it doesn't foam, 2) it's supposed to be moisturizing, 3) and calming, and 4) it removes make-up. I finished this about a month ago and here are my thoughts.

/Hair/ Mise En Scène Hello Bubble Foam Color in Choco Brown


this was purchased by me

It's been a long time since I last blogged...So sorry. I've been busy with adjusting and other things. I wanted to at least get a post in regarding my hair as I really needed to color it. I stopped by a beauty store the other day (there are so many here) and picked out this hair dye because it on sale and I wanted to try a foaming hair dye. Let's see how my hair turned out!

/Lenses/ Neo Dali Sweet Chocolate Brown Circle Lenses


this was purchased by me.

Hello~ I'll be reviewing some circle lenses from Korea Big Eyes today. I actually bought these quite a while ago and have started using then recently (for a few months, actually). As I'm getting a little older (too true /o _ o\;;) and further establishing my career, I'm looking for lenses that are more natural to wear everyday. Are these Neo lenses good for the job? Let's check them out.

Sorry for the lack of posts. I'm still working on getting my documents ready and packing for my move abroad. It's really stressful. Anyway, I wanted to write up a review for this SKin79 product as I've been using it for a while. Is it any good? Let's find out!

/Make-up/ New York Color Sky Rise Lengthening Mascara


this was purchased by me.

Hello! I don't know if any one remembers I'm supposed to be moving soon, but I am. There's quite a bit of paperwork I need to get done before hand so it's keeping me busy. Anyway, I thought I'd put up one more post before the end of the month. This is a mascara I've been using for a while and I'd like to share my thoughts on it with you ^^
