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.

MUSHIRUSHI Organic Medicinal Whitening Moisturising Essence(For sensitive) or MUJI Brightening Moisturizing Essence

MUSHIRUSHI Organic Medicinal Whitening Moisturising Essence(For sensitive) aka
 MUJI Brightening Moisturizing Essence

I use this in the summertime as a combination of cream and essence. It's good for sensitive skin and it smooths out my face skin texture, but I see alcohol as an ingredient so I think I will pass.

Biore Aqua Rich Watery Gel


I brought this on my trip to Taiwan because everyone on IG and the internet was raving about it. There isn't anything special about this except it doesn't leave a white cast. But it smells like alcohol!!! I like this for the summer because of the humidity but I suggest to use a gel cream moisturizer under it so your skin doesn't dry out.

Glamglow Galacticleanse Hydrating Jelly Balm Cleanser

Glamglow Galacticleanse Hydrating Jelly Balm Cleanser

Wow that's a mouthful of a title! I wanted to try this product when it launched but I didn't want to pay the hefty price tag so I waited until there was a promo code and I ordered it. I love the squeeze tube packaging. It's a thick jelly balm texture that smells candy-like. I don't think it removes makeup well dry or makes my face feel clean after washing it off. You have to use a lot of the product to make the milky effect with water. Very disappointed in this product. I will not repurchase.

Urban Decay Cosmetics Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer

Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer

Urban Decay Cosmetics



Light Neutral

I didn't think that I will like this concealer after finally finding my shade but I love this for the drier seasons. This concealer is full coverage and hydrating. I always use this for extra coverage when the foundation that I'm using doesn't fulfill its job. My skin was moisturized even when I used this product during the winter time. On "makeup-free" days, I like to use this to dot over the blemishes and blend with a brush lightly and the look is finished.

Drunk Elephant Beste Jelly Cleanser

Drunk Elephant Beste Jelly Cleanser



I wasn't surprised that this product allow my face to feel clean without stripping the moisture...because of the high price tag. It is a gel product when you squeeze it out of the twist tube opening. Make sure your face is damp to get the foam effect when you lather it onto your face. This is good for my sensitive skin that's going through the motions during spring. My skin feels soft after drying.  It does the job without making me feel like I have to grab another cleanser to finish. I'm not that excited about the ingredient list with glycerin and surfactants so this will not be a repurchase.

Elizavecca Belly Line K.O Double Action P.P Cream

Elizavecca Belly Line K.O Double Action P.P Cream

I didn't think too much when I got this product as complimentary from 08L for my honest review.
It's a cream that you apply before exercising and it is suppose to improve your metabolism. The cream when applied is tacky and sticky and a bit warm. During my workouts, I didn’t see any change or any sensation while the product was applied on my skin. I wouldn’t recommend this product.
