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.

Bobbi Brown Rich Lip Color Bright Poppy 44

This is my first Bobbi Brown product. I brought it from Nordstorm and didn't think much of it. 
It's a bright orange color which I was saving to use during the spring and summer.

I loved this color!! It looks nice especially with the pop of color. 

It glides on creamy, long lasting and stays matte. I usually mix it with more red color liquid lipstick if I prefer a more darker color.

April 2018 boxycharm

 
This month is the start of spring weather in my area and boxycharm theme is #EyeCandy


  • Coloupop My Little Pony Eyeshadow Palette - I'm happy that I didn't buy the Colourpop My Little Pony palette because I was debating if I will be able to use the colors, but BoxyCharm surprised me with it!!!
  • Adesse Hi definition liquid lipstick in haute cocoa - I think with this color, I will save until the coller temperatures to wear it. I prefer brighter colors in the spring and summer.
  • Dr. Brandt - Pores No More Vacuum Cleaner - Im always happy with a skincare product in every box. I prefer a skincare item verses all 5 makeup products. Look forward to future skincare items.
  • The BrowGal - Instatint - Tinted Eyebrow Gel - I started getting into doing my brows this year so I will look forward in playing around with this.
  • Tarte - Tartiest Pro Glow: Liquid Highlighter - I don't really care for liquid highlighter, I just prefer powder highlighters. But I saw our boxycharmers got the MAC lip balm as an alternative.

PUR Cosmetics – Air Perfection Cushion Compact Foundation - Light

I opened this when I was rushing for work.
I was surprised because there is far less product in this cushion foundation as compared to the Korean ones.
\
But I was in a rush, so I pressed firmly into the cushion and dabbed the product onto the cushion pad and on my face.

Looks great but needs a setting spray.



PUR Cosmetics – Air Perfection Cushion Compact Foundation - Light


Moisturizing - not enough for my combination skin
Coverage - light medium
Wear - medium matte
Dewy Glow - a little
Lasting Power - 4 hours
Oxidizing - none
Scent - slight

CosRX Centella Blemish Ampoule


CosRX Centella Blemish Ampoule

 

I brought this product because I started to see blemishes and age spots when I turned 30.
This product claims that it reduces redness and limits the growth of dark spots. I have been using this for the past two weeks but haven't seen any changes. I do like that it helps with cooling down the skin and doesn't have a scent. However, I noticed that this product works best with acne prone, oily skin-I'm thinking best around the puberty age range.

MUJI LIGHT MOISTURIZING TONING WATER/TONER

MUJI LIGHT MOISTURIZING TONING WATER/TONER (for sensitive skin)

"Simple low-stimulating hypoallergenic skin care for delicate and easily irritated skin. Uses natural hydrating ingredients that is gentle and effective for sensitive skin."

 

I didn't think that I would like anything from the MUJI skincare line but this product proved me wrong. I have combination to dry and sensitive skin. I love this light toning water because it absorbs into my sensitive skin well and doesn't irritate. All products afterwards absorbs easily. There is another toner in the MUJI line that has a light citrus scent and I'm not a fan of that one. The brown bottles are more catered to anti-aging line.

WnM 30D Maternity Pantyhose

I received this complimentary from @08l_usa to review and give my honest opinion.
To be honest, you don't have to be pregnant to wear these tights, however there is an extra room for your tummy. These are so comfy and the texture of the material is so soft and the best thing is that it doesn't tear easily. It is also sturdy along the legs so it helps with varicose. Perfect for all year round but you will need more warmth for the colder temperatures.

Hada Labo Rohto Goku-jun Hyaluronic Milky Lotion

Hada Labo Rohto Goku-jun Hyaluronic Milky Lotion

I brought this last summer when this product was featured in a Grand Opening store in NYC.
I knew this was best for combination and acne-prone skin. At that time, I had those problems so I decided to finish this bottle all through the winter. During the winter time, my skin became dry and loved this product more.

This product hydrates, moisturize and soothes. This was a favorite and it's great for sensitive skin. 
But I want to explore more moisturizers!!!
