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.

CoverFX Illuminating Setting Spray


I didn't care much for setting sprays until it's the summertime.
It has a bit of shimmer and fine mist. I love hearing the sound that it makes when I shake the bottle. Vegan and alcohol-free-can't complain.
I think this is better for dry skin because I have no complains with this setting spray, love that the scent is at the minimalist.

Too Faced Born This Way Foundation in NUDE

I finally caved in and brought this holy grail foundation that most of the beauty community have been loving. I understood the love for this foundation when I applied it on my face. It is full coverage, and it doesn't move as most as almost all foundations out there. I brought it when TooFaced released 11 new shades choosing "Nude" (very light with rosy undertones) as my shade.

It has ingredients such as coconut water, alpine rose and hyaluronic acid. 




Moisturizing - light
Coverage - medium
Wear - medium
Dewy Glow - light
Lasting Power - medium
Oxidizing - none
Scent - flowery

Bang Beauty Chocolate Gel Eye Liner

  1. Bang Beauty Chocolate Gel Eye Liner - I do like gel eyeliners but I prefer the pencil form and not pot form but I can probably use this for a brow liner too.

This doesn't stay on as eyeliner so I have been using it as eye brow.
As long as it matches your brow, it stays on as a brow. Since it's a pot, doesn't look very hygienic for me.

Repurchase-nahh.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Stick Foundation in Banana

I wasn't expecting to purchase this when it launched, but ended up trying in months later.
The "regular" shades didn't match me, but the "highlight" shade Banana did. I seem to have a mixture of rosy and golden undertones.

 

At first, I tried it as a highlight, but then ended up using it all over my dry skin. It does show my pores, but once you rub it with your fingers, it starts to blend the pores out. A lot of product must be used it one usage. 



I had to apply two layers to get a light to medium coverage. It fades if you rub your face by accident but it stays in place well. I won't repurchase it but it's a nice color match and great for the transition seasons of summer to autumn.

Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture Le Orange 13

I love this lipstick.
Now I understand why YSL lipsticks are luxury and pricey.
It is so creamy and smooth.

Orange shade looked nice on fair light skin during the summertime.
