The Lotus Essence Lotion with Lotus Leaf

The Lotus Essence Lotion with Lotus Leaf $64 retail 125ml - I will be using this as an emulsion

It's perfect for sensitive skin with a bit of a floral scent. I was surprised that I went through the whole bottle after a year. Yes, it takes me that long to go through an emulsion. It definitely kept my skin hydrated throughout the whole year but there's many other moisturizers to venture through.

Was excited when I got this!!



However, I was highly disappointed. Either I got a bad one or that it was dry and very clumpy.
Color was pretty but it didn't blend well and looked really messy. I had to use another lipstick above it to mix it so it looked creamy and "put together".

It is matte but not worth the price tag.

Korres Quercetin & Oak Antiaging & Antiwrinkle Night Cream

Korres Quercetin & Oak Antiaging & Antiwrinkle Night Cream

There is "pine" woody scent to the cream.
It is a thick cream best for dry nights or dry skin.

I wouldn't repurchase it though.

So the main ingredient is Quercetin and it claims that it's natural and it's an alternative to retional. It's an antioxidant that claims to help with anti-aging. This was the main reason that I brought it-ANTI-AGING haha.

Marc Jacobs Beauty Genius Gel Super–Charged Oil–Free Foundation 34 Beige

This foundation is very thin and watery liquid texture.
I apply it using a brush and it blend smoothly along with a natural finish.
Very buildable but not highly coverage.
This is best for normal skin who like light coverage.
I used this foundation without primers and it looks fine.
I prefer pump bottles so this was perfect.

I love this marc jacob foundation but I think there is a dupe out there if you don't want to pay the high price.

Club Clio foundation is thin and yet has high coverage and applies thin like second skin. But Club Clio transfers and this marc jacob foundation doesn't transfer. This marcjacob foundation also has more shades than Club Clio but it wasn't enough for me to keep it.

Sana Namerakahonpo Bright Cleanser

Overall, I have used three things from this brand and I have been disappointed with all three. If you can a newbie or beginner to Asian skincare, this will be right for you. But this cleanser is too weak for me. It's doesn't remove makeup well and the texture is so thin that I feel as if I need to wash my face again.

BoxyCharm October 2017 review

Happy Halloween!


This is my second box from boxy charm and the theme is "Spellbound" in celebration for Halloween!

1. Dr. Brandt - Poredermabrasion - I think it's great that they included a skincare product in this box and they should keep doing it!
2. Becca - Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter - love it!
3. Tarte Tareist Quick Dry Matte Lip Paint - my first tarte makeup product. Will review it in an upcoming review.
4. ncLA - "Nailed It" Tool Kit - came just in time.
5. Jonteblu - Lip Liner Pencil - a bit dry but it's ok.
