I went from an easy, hurried, low-maintenance facial cleaning ritual to trying out the Asian 10 step skincare routine. Being raised in New York City has damaged and polluted my skin; I'm now repairing and focusing on anti-aging.
I want to buy and use products from a broad number of brands, I didn't just want to stick with one brand, I shopped around and compared all. I will try to write reviews each month, one which will be a list my skincare routine products, sharing my experiences on each product.

Marc Jacobs Beauty Nude Awakening Hydrating Medium Coverage Concealer

 Shade 140W - Light with Warm Undertones


Very cute packaging with the usual flower daisy decor. I dap 5-10 quick dots on my face and then used my fingers and it’s quick spreadable, but you have to work quick. Yes, to natural more matte finish and yes to medium coverage. It is buildable so it can cover pores if you apply more. I applied it over sunscreen, and it did feel quick dry. I do like this for summertime on the go. I will bring this to Taiwan with me.

Elemis Pro-Collagen Energising Marine Cleanser

 

I love this product for my morning cleanser. A nice soothing gel cleanser. 
Soft on sensitive skin and feels refreshed.

Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protector Lotion Mineral SPF 60+ Sunscreen

 I really love this for the beach days. I've used it twice for two different beach days. Both were 90+ F out there and this product protected my skin well. Applies smooth, quite runny but not sticky. Will repurchased for beach days.

Live Tinted Hueguard Skin Tint SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen Broad Spectrum


I don't like the tinted moisturizer as much as their regular mineral sunscreen. Great product for summers but I prefer others.
