AMOREPACIFIC Moisture Plumping Nectar Cream

 Love this luxurious gel cream! I've been using this as a day cream between summer and autumn which my skin drinks up. It absorbs quickly and doesn't leave any stickiness. The product gives me some radiance and keeps my skin well moisturized throughout the day.

AMOREPACIFIC Youth Revolution Vitamin C Radiance Concentrator

 Very pretty bottle and scent feel divine, but I don't see any change over using an entire product. I prefer to use this at night when I want to pamper my skin. They say shake before use and it's best to use vitamin C at night otherwise if you use in the daytime just apply SPF over it. But I have more time to do my nighttime routine, so I like to apply luxurious products and allowing time to sink into my skin. As I approach 35, I've notice that I need help with firming and radiance which this product claims to do.

AMOREPACIFIC Vintage Single Extract Essence

 Love a watery essence but this product will be better in the summer for me. I used it during the winter and prefer the thicker shiseido texture. But overall great essence but I wouldn't repurchase this for the price because I didn't see much of a difference. Just draining my funds onto my skin.

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.

AmorePacific Treatment Toner

Just regular and usual Amore Pacific goodness. If you can not a fan of fragrance, this product is not for you. ok for dry skin but I don't think this is good for sensitive skin which is why I haven't emptied this product in the past 2 months that I have been using it. I only use this product after cleansing off a full face of makeup otherwise I would skip this product. Sadly, I will not repurchase this product.

     

AMOREPACIFIC All Day Balancing Care Serum

AMOREPACIFIC All Day Balancing Care Serum

I love this serum but some people will not due to the "amorepacific" scent in this product. It's a watery serum perfect for the spring and summer weather conditions. It keeps my skin hydrated and absorbs quickly. However it doesn't help with uneven skin or smoothness with a high price tag. I recommend this item if you want to splurge but otherwise there are other serums to try.

Sephora Play January 2017

Beauty, Set, Go
Stellar Products Are Only the Beginning

tarte FRXXXTION Stick - a gel cleanser in a stick form. This is something new to me with an western brand. Usually I have seen this with Korean brands such as su:m37 and neogen.

Ouai Treatment Masque - yes! A hair product that will help me with damaged hair. I really enjoy hair products that aren't in a spray form so I was glad about this one.

Tory Burch - Love Relentlessly - I'm a fan of the Tory Burch perfume so I was excited to receive this in the bag

Farmacy - Honey Potion Renewing Antioxidant Hydration Mask - I love a honey mask given to me during the winter months.

Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey - nothing wrong with lip balm plus a little color

AmorePacific Color Control Cushion Compact Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ - finally a cushion foundation sample!!

I loved this month's Sephora Play.

Sephora Favorites - Soko to Tokyo

I have been eyeing this Sephora Favorites for a month since it came out.
Been to 5 Physical Sephora stores and not one carried it so my last resort was buying it online.

I was highly disappointed.
Half the products (Japanese ones) was reactive for my sensitive skin and the Korean brands that Sephora chose for this box was very exciting.

Blame me for using Korean products for over a year so I'm picky for the brands and products that I use. There is definitely room for improvement.

I guess for Sephora I will stick to the non-Asian brands.
However, this box is great for those that are new to Asian brands.

Happy Bath Facial Yogurt Foam - Herb Essence

Anything from Amore Pacific, I am a fan of. This Herb Essence one is best for oily skin. I am using this in the spring because it's is a season where in NYC you can get a mixture of winter temperatures one day and then high warm humidity weather conditions the next day.

There are scents of lemon, orange and lime when I squeezed it out of the tube-Very spring cleaning feel-haha. My skin does look like its sebum is regulated and my pores look clean afterwards. I didn't have high expectations on this, but I'm glad I tried it and I'm planning to use this to the very last drop. It's lightweight, yet very creamy and comforting.
