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 Vitamin Nectar Face Glow Cream


 This is a nice lightweight face day cream to wake up to. Preferable for the spring, summer months with its light floral citrus scent. Kept my skin hydrated however this feels more of an emulsion than a day cream to me.

Nutrinature Ultra All-Night Moisture & Relief Mask

 Love this citrus mint tea tree oil scent, perfect for the summer or acne-prone skin. I was surprised by this product. The suction packaging is really interesting to me. At least you know you will never waste any product because the packaging is sort of see-thru. It contains niaciaminde to calm the skin, and my skin loved it. I woke up to more hydrated and clearer complexion than I went to sleep with.

Shiseido Ibuki Beauty Sleeping Mask

Shiseido Ibuki Beauty Sleeping Mask



This product has a soothing a bit of a floral scent when applied onto the skin. It is a gel like texture which dries down with the little white beads dissolving after a few seconds when used on the face. A little goes a long way, however I waited a while to open this product so I see the new WASO line under Shiseido launched so I;m not sure if this awesome product is discontinued. I hope not!

Missha Time Revolution Red Algae Essence

 

 

I was introduced by fiddysnails on IG and always loved the Time Revolution Essence so I was eager to try out the red algae. The formula feels more richer and moisturized my skin after toner application. Love it and will repurchase this in the future.

LANCÔME Galatée Confort Comforting Milky Creme Cleanser

 I really wanted to love this but this is not great advertising to the product. It isn't a creme cleanser. It is more of a makeup remover that you use with a cotton pad to wipe off. Even time I use water to wash it off, my face is so oily and grease feeling. I have to use another cleanser to feel as if the oil is wash off. I'm trying to used it all but using it as a morning cleanser and use a light toner afterwards wiping it down. Yes this is great for people with dry skin because it contains almond oil. But as for cleaning, it is NOT a repurchase.

Almay Skin Perfecting Healthy Biome Makeup

Almay Skin Perfecting Healthy Biome Makeup Broad Spectrum 25 sunscreen

  

I received these products complimentary from Influenster and Almays in exchange for my honest review and for testing purposes. I got the shade 110 Light, and at first I think it is a bit dark or orange for the color. It has buildable light coverage, but if you keep applying it looks cakey. So I prefer calling this product a tinted moisturizer if you apply light. I prefer to use a makeup brush over a makeup sponge or by hand fingers. It also rubs off when you wear a mask so...

AmorePacific RIce Enzyme Peeling Masque



I was pleasantly surprised at how soft this felt on the skin when applied.  It did not remind me of an exfoliate due to its soft texture.  I really enjoyed this during the winter time when I used it. Bit pricey for the amount but I loved it and that's all that matters to me. I'm ok paying a hefty price for an amazing wash off mask.
