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.

fresh Youth Preserve Rescue Mask
I received this in exchange for my Sephora points and I loved this deluxe sample. I would repurchase this again if it was on sale because I am currently going through many masks. I love this spa-like feeling when applying on my face but I don't see any difference in radiance afterwards. I don't think that the brand fresh should've used the word, "rescue" in its product, more like soothing. Anyway, I used it up during the winter time and enjoyed it.

Vichy Mineral 89 Face Serum with Hyaluronic Acid
I didn't think that I would like this as much as I did. It is very hydrating and this product took me by surprise. Two pumps is enough for the face and neck. This is very soothing, and well absorbing for my sensitive skin. Surprising this serum made it to one of my favorite serums for especially for the spring and summer because it isn't tacky or sticky.

Dermatory Azulene Toner
I saw this unknown brand in a kbeauty store and purchased it because I needed a toner for my sensitive skin. It contains the 2019 korean ingredient of centella asiatic leaf extract which is good for calming and healing. I shake and use this toner when my face is starting to breakout or having a bad day.
Jeffree Star Ice Platinum Highlighter Palette
I've always curious about Jeffree Star highlighters but not the person behind the cosmetics line. I believe his single Frost highlighters are better than this palette. These were a bit grainy and not smooth on the skin. They are pretty and "blinging" but I decluttered this palette after a year and only depot and kept "pink chill". Pink Chill to me is a mix of a blush and a highlighter.

Jeffree Star Cosmetics Bronze Blood and valentine day 2020 mystery shade
Left picture is in indoor light and right picture is in natural light.
I use the bronze blood shade as an metallic eye shadow and the mystery shade is my liquid lip that I use for daily use. I love the texture as it goes on smooth and non sticky. Love the mystery shade color.

Murad Age Reform Hydro-Dynamic Quenching Essence
At first, I purchased this through Ulta 21 days of beauty because there was AHA and BHA ingredients in the product. I didn't have high expectations at all. Soon after using it two days in a roll, it became my holy grail. I have a bit of milia and uneven texture near my under eyes and temple areas and it all disappeared and my skin became smooth. I usually get white heads extractions once a month but I was able to go two months instead of monthly after using this product. This product was a great surprise and now a new addition to my skincare routine.

Marc Jacobs Youthquake Hydra-Full Retexturizing Gel Crème
Marc Jacobs Youthquake Hydra-Full Retexturizing Gel Crème
I have dry combination sensitive skin and I used this gel-creme during the winter. I did enjoy it. It did hydrate, I hated the packaging because for some odd reason, the lid doesn't screw on tight. I didn't noticed any firming or brightening properties so in my opinion I believe this product is best for people in their twenties or early thirty. No fragrance and it didn't break me out.
