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.

Atrue Darjeeling Black Tea First Anti-Wrinkle Essence


This product is best during the winter as an thicker essence gel texture.
I brought it from cupidrop located in NYC. It expires within 6 months so I tried to use it during the past winter months. I do like the tea scent and texture but I wouldn't repurchase.

I didn't feel firming properties as it claimed it had and it's more on the luxury side so it you feel like splurging-go ahead.

Too Cool For School Sitkoza Cleansing Gel



I don't even know where to start.
I had such high hopes for the skincare part of the Korean brand, "Too Cool For School".
Everyone loves their lip tints and bronzers, but what happened to this cleanser.
I brought it on Sephora and it was shipped to me leaving me with an expiration date of a month after purchase. This means that I have a month to use it before expiration.

I started using it as an makeup remover - didn't work so I used it as a second step cleanser- didn't work either. I used it to clean my brushes - it didn't work either.

I gave up and used it as a body soap gel.
I do like the scent and the texture on my skin. 
Will not recommend.

Too Faced COCOA POWDER golden light


It smells like cocoa and feels nice when I use a brush on top of my liquid foundation during the autumn and winter seasons but during the spring and summer I don't like it.

I have dry skin and during the warmer temps when I sweat, the powder foundation looks bad!!! I consider this as matte medium coverage, but it is buildable however I don't recommend doing it because you will look cakey.

Dr.G Essence 9 Moisturizer

Dr.G Essence 9 Moisturizer

At first, I brought this because I though it was just an essence but this is more like an emulsion.
I didn't expect to love this as much as I did during the spring and summer time. It's enough to use as an essence and an moisturizer together. There was even a time that I used an toner and then this product and then a sleeping pack and went to sleep.
