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.

MAC Powder Blush (Duo) / Lucky Red


I'm not going to lie and say I didn't purchase this solely for the packaging.

However this color is so beautiful on light or fair skin. So smooth and blends wonderfully.

Tatcha radiant deep brightening serum



I brought this because I wanted to start getting into Tatcha skincare. This is my 3rd product after the water cream and the wash off mask. It is milky and nice but not worth the hefty price tag in my opinion. It does feel luxurious, great for my sensitive skin and I use it as a night serum. But I wouldn't repurchase this and I think this item is discontinued because I don't see it on the website anymore.

IGK 2-in-1 shampoo and texturizer

IGK 2-in-1 shampoo and texturizer



The First time I squeezed the product out of the bottle the first time, I thought OMG charcoal as an ingredient for shampoo WTH?? This is great for someone who has ultra thin hair and oily hair. I used it up just to use it up. I hated it after 4 hours into work, my hair would start to feel thick and gross.

Belif First Aid Overnight brightening mask


This belif product has become my holy grail for night sleeping mask. It isn't heavy and the skin absorbs it and my skin does look brighten when I wake up. The little beads doesn't bother you when applied onto the skin.
