PUR Cosmetics Soiree Diaries Eyeshadow Palette

PUR Cosmetics Soiree Diaries Eyeshadow Palette

This palette has a mirror!
I love the rose gold packaging.
You can use this for everyday look for either work or going out.
It blends easily and pigmented.
My favorites were the last four metallic colors.

The Face Shop White Seed Blanclouding White Moisture Cream

The texture is nice but I don't love it.
It's too "fluffy" for me.



It claims that it brightens but I didn't see any results after using a deluxe size, so I will pass on repurchasing this product.

Tarte Tarteist Quick Dry Matte Lip Paint in Delish

I love this rosy mauve color!

This liquid liptick is a bit too dry for me.
Yes, it is full coverage and it dries quick but the aftermath of dry lips is not a great look.

Sephora Clarifying Skincare Booster - Imperfection Serum

SEPHORA COLLECTION Skincare Booster - Imperfection

Zinc
No change in my skin. My pores look the same. Felt like I was dripping alcohol onto my skin.
You are better off buying the same thing from the brand, "The Ordinary" and get it with a cheaper price. 

BECCA Après Ski Glow Face Palette

I have found my first makeup HOLY GRAIL product.
Never have I ever believed in holy grail until I brought this palette. To this day, I can't believed that I even hesitated to buy this. I wanted to buy something that included blush, highlighter, contour and maybe a dark color that I can use for an eyeshadow. Why? If I had to travel then I would just bring 1 palette.

The colors!! I loved it all. The packaging is beautiful! 
So pretty that I don't want to throw the box away!


Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter in Opal - best for the rim of the nose

Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter in Rose Quartz - best over the blush copper

Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter in  Icicle, frosted white highlighter - haven't touched it yet but i'm guessing that it's as beautiful as the rest.

 Luminous Blush in Blushed Copper - my favorite blush out of the two.

Mineral Blush in Winter Berry this is a new color.  reddish pink blush but a bit too dark for me. I just use a tap of color and blend it on my cheeks.

Sunlit Bronzer in Bronzed Bondi - I don't have much expression with bronzers but I have "tried" to use this color to contour my face and I do like that the color isn't very dark and noticable.



Why the mixed reviews? I think these colors are best for people with fair or light toned skin so you can see the color shine best!

Neogen Dermalogy Bio-Peel Gauze Peeling Green Tea

30 single-use pads of exfoliate on one side and toner on the other.
Of course I'll buy it.

I brought this in Taiwan last summer not haven't gotten a chance to use it until I moved to Philly from NYC where I feel the weather is even drier. 

The green tea version is more for combination acne prone skin. 

I got it just for the packaging and the words "green tea". I'm just a sucker.

Green tea extracts helps with anti-aging, irritation, and dullness.

And of course, I'm buying more!!

Marketing got me!!

goodal lily body wash radiance

I was expecting much from this body wash, but it's a nice spring/summer body wash.
However, I wouldn't repurchase this body wash.
It smells nice but isn't as foamy or soapy as a normal body wash would be.
