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.

Maybelline COLOR SENSATIONAL® THE CREAMS, CREAM FINISH LIPSTICK MAKEUP Pink Pose 233

I like maybelline lipsticks, but it's all about picking the right shade. 
I never get the right shade. 
This time I got Pink Pose and it's too pink for me.
Other than the shade, the lipstick is very creamy and you must not forget to reapply.

Maybelline BROW FAST SCULPT, SHAPES EYEBROWS, EYEBROW MASCARA MAKEUP

I received this as complimentary from influenster and Maybelline in exchange for my honest opinion. I was excited to have another brow product, especially drugstore. I don't own any drugstore brow products. I picked brown black because I have black hair and fair skin but the product, in my opinion, is dedicated for people with bushy eyebrows. The "wand" is wide so you have a lot to work with. With a careful light hand you can use one swipe and get a good brow gel work, but you have to go back and wipe away the excess with your fingers. Good Practice takes perfect to use this product. The color stays.

Maybelline DREAM RADIANT LIQUID MEDIUM COVERAGE HYDRATING FOUNDATION 20 classic Ivory

I received this as complimentary from influenster and Maybelline in exchange for my honest opinion. I didn't have much expectations with this drugstore product so the first time wearing it, I was in a rush and I used my fingers to apply. Surprisingly it went on so smooth and creamy and lasted out my 8 hour shift. It goes on dewy but can dry down to a slight powdery feel. Even though it claims to be medium coverage but to me I consider it light coverage. Very lightweight and natural finish; perfect for the winter time. Love the pump.

PEACH & LILY Glass Skin Refining Serum

PEACH & LILY Glass Skin Refining Serum


It doesn't give me the "glass" effect but it is hydrating.
ok for my sensitive skin and not sticky. 
Not enough for the winter time but enough for the summer.
Must try if you are a beginner or have oily skin.

Summer Fridays R + R mask

I was looking forward to this mask for the winter time, but sadly this product didn't meet my expectations. I was excited for the rose gold packaging and the rose exfoliating beads. However, the beads hurt my skin. It feels sharp and irritates my skin. My skin does feel brighten and have radiance after the first time using it but it's not worth the pain and damage.
