This post will be mostly graphic because photos speak louder than words sometimes. I went looking for a concealer that would cover up the awful hyperpigmentation as a result of a face mutiny and I was really curious about Becca Ultimate Coverage Concealing Creme ($32.00). I swatched the colors Chestnut and Treacle and ended up going with Chestnut as it…

I did not love the My Ipkn Gelstealer Pen Liner the first time I tried it. I actually didn’t love it the second time I tried it either. This liner behaved like uncomfortable leather shoes you need to “break in” before you truly start loving them. The liner was skittish; I would need to go over the same line before…

Colourpop Super Shock Shadow in Birthday Boy was an anniversary release, and was provided free with a purchase. It’s a gray-silver sparkly shadow, with somewhat of a brown base. Part of my purchase was ColourPop Ultra Matte Chilly Chili ($6.00), which has become a lippie that I reach for constantly.

Highlighters seem like such an easy buy, but for me, I have a hard time with them. I never caught on to the strobing trend, but I can’t deny that I am lured by the call of the highlighter. I recently spent way too much time found myself in Sephora looking for a powder foundation (and I found one I’m…

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.…

Now here’s a highlighter I don’t use often but should. I had waited quite some time to get my hands on Charlotte Tilbury’s Bar of Gold ($42.00). It’s likely one of the best highlighters out there in my opinion, for the simple fact that when you wear it, it doesn’t look like your face fell in love with Midas. It’s super…

Summer breeze | Makes me feel fine | Blowing through the jasmine in my mind… Gotta love the Isley Brothers! It’s summer. Like officially summer. Naturally, that means less is more. Sometimes, that’s not always the case with me when it comes to makeup, but I have been wearing the Nars Satin Lip Pencil in Rikugien for some time and…

Today (June 20th) is the Summer Solstice, the day when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky. As a result, we will get 15 hours of sunlight! I can’t wait to get to yoga! That brings me to this review of the The Farmacy Skin Dew Hydrating Essence Mist ($44.00 for 3.3 fl. oz/97 ml), which will definitely come in…

My face has never felt this good from a sheet mask. I even repeated the exact process with different sheet masks and I did not get these results. I want to first talk about the Tosowoong Dr. Troubex Sparkling Mask , and then the Daiso Silicon Mask Cover. I don’t know who Dr. Troubex is, but he/she is amazing. Certainly…

Today, I have a post on my terrible eye bags! I’ve come to the conclusion that in order to get rid of my eye bags, I need to go get fillers. Fillers are expensive (about $1500 per syringe per my research), so in the mean time I was sooooo excited to try out Dynamic Sonic’s Instant Eye Lift! It’s supposed…
