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.

Beauteque August 2015 BB Monthly Bag Treasure Chest + PROMO CODE

Beauteque August BB Monthly Bag review
"Beauteque's Treasure Chest" theme

Date for "Pick me" : July 16, 2015.
Date Shipped : August 15, 2015
Date Arrived : August 19, 2015

Use promo code "ILENE" for a special something (10% OFF) at checkout at beauteque.com and/or beauteque.com/subscriptions.

Every month there could be 6-8 full-sized products in every bag which can range anything including make-up, skincare, body care, beauty tools, hair care, lifestyle products and etc. If you buy it per month or up to 3 months it is $24, $23 for 6 months or $22 for 12 months. The retail values can range between $65 to $85 in every BB bag.

I brought it for a year to try it out. 

On July 16, I was able to chose my picks for three items and then on July 29, I got a spoiler email telling me that the 4th product is the Holika holika Wonder Drawing No Smudge Liquid Eyeliner. I was excited when I got the tracking email on August 15 which means that my package will come the next couple of days. 


Cute sea green bag, something related to seaweed in the sea with the treasure chest theme. But the outside material of the green bag was a bit on the cheap side because the ink of a card that was stuck on the green bag damaged the outside of the bag. It took 4 alcohol pads to remove the ink from the bag.



  


  1. Mizon All in One Snail Repair Cream
  2. Purederm Hair Mask - first choice was Jojoba, then Chamomile and then Honey.
  3. The Saem Cover Perfection Tip Concealer - first choice of Natural Beige 1.5 was given to me.
  4. Holika holika Wonder Drawing No Smudge Liquid Eyeliner
  5. Hanaka V-line chin pack
  6. Purederm clean and fresh peeling gel
  7. O'Palis Facial Oil Blotting Paper 
  8. A sheet mask because I have the month-to-month subscription. 
I was happy about the Mizon snail repair cream because I have the regular size product in my bathroom closet and was happy that I can put this product in my bag on the go. It's a gel-like textured cream. It firms, tightens and repairs scarring on my skin. 

 

I have heard about the hair mask, but never got the guts to buy one and try. It seems like an ultra conditioner, it is very thick. It looked like glue at first, but it combs through your hair very smoothly. I won't recommend this for fragile hair or oily hair because strands of my hair kept falling off. There was a peppermint tinkling feeling on my head when applied-don't know if that is a good thing. But my hair did feel soft for a couple of days. Another reason way I subscribed to Beatueque so I can be introduced to new things like this peeling gel which is good to carry-on for traveling. I like being surprised with goodies that I never tried before.



This concealer came in time because I was thinking about getting either a highlighter or cc cream. Now I can use this for a month or two before making a decision to purchase more makeup.

  


I finished my maybelline master liquid eyeliner and my new sephora gold eyeliner wasn't doing the job for me, so this product also came just in time. The sephora eyeliner kept coming off when you rub your eyes gently and waterproof it was not. This holika holika seems to do the job, but it also keeps falling off when I used it a couple times. I gave up using it after 2 times. 

I needed something for my slowly existing and visible double chin, so the V-line came just in time. Plus I like the "Alice in Wonderful" theme for the packaging. 
  

I had purchased a set of Korean blotting papers before this month BB bag arrived on my doorstep. However, Beauetque offered a Chinese brand so let's see how this works.

This month is very travel-friendly which is good so I can stock up for my trip soon.
