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.

Brow Microfilling Eyebrow Pen

Brow Microfilling Eyebrow Pen

I received this product complimentary from benefit and influenster for my honest opinion and I'm highly disappointment. Usually their products are hit or miss and this one is sadly a miss. I love doing my brows especially during quarantine with everyone wearing masks which allowing only the eyes and eyebrows to be visible. I loved that they sent me my color in deep brown, color range sucks by the way, currently with 4 shades. I prefer the goof proof over this pen. Yes, it's lightly pigmented so you can mess up and redraw it but I want PIGMENT, so this product isn't for me. Definitely not waterproof or smudge proof. Some days when I use it, I feel as if I have used it all up but then the next day, I see a little bit more. Not sure if I got a bad one but I prefer ABH brow wiz or benefit goof proof instead of this product.

Benefit boi-ing cakeless concealer in shade 2

Better than shape tape!!!
I didn't think that I would use this as much as I did because I wasn't a fan of their Happy foundation.
This is a concealer that I use when I'm going foundation-free and in my opinion the coverage is better than foundation. This is the first product that have held up during 95F and humidity. It brightens my skin and after a couple uses I have decluttered most of my foundations and use this instead.

Benefit Hello Happy Foundation



This is a good natural light coverage summer foundation. I do like the squeezable light weight for traveling. Setting this foundation makes the foundation last a bit longer. There's a lot a bit of sunscreen in this product.

Benefit Cosmetics Boi-ing Industrial-Strength Full Coverage Concealer-01 Light

Heavy concealer and coverage - No!
I got this in light and it might my face look so light and scary.
Its coverage ability isn't that great, it is creamy though.
But not enough for me to wow!
Plus you must use a brush to blend it out.

This pic is how the concealer works when trying to conceal the pimple and clearly it did not work.

Benefit Cosmetics Fake-Up Undereye Hydrating Concealer-02 Medium

I brought this from Sephora and was excited to use it because it has a hydrating balm surrounding the concealer and its packaged in tube form. This is great for travelling. And even better for people with dry under eyes area
I got the medium shade (even though I'm usually a light in it cosmetics CC cream) and I'm happy that I got the medium.
It blends well, but it doesn't conceal much. It's a very light coverage with concealing.
The "Before" pic is above and the "after pic is below.
You don't see much of a difference. Repurchase - No.
Moisturizing - yes!

Sephora Play July 2016

My First Sephora Play Box (July 2016) has arrived!!
The theme is "Effortless Summer"
I'm thinking natural looking makeup and skincare.
 
Some people might like these items and some may not.
On a scale of 1-5, my final is a 3.

Included in this box was:

1 - First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser - I don't like getting cleanser cause I have too many. Plus I'm not a fan of this brand because of some of the ingredients the company uses. But I will put this in my travel bag.

2 - Nest Fragrances - Citrine - It's a cute floral fruity scent up my aisle. Perfect for spring and summer.

3 - Ouai Wave Spray - If only I didn't buy the Sephora Favorites - Summer Hair Saviors (which I am enjoying). I will use this for my trip to Taiwan in October.

4 - Smashbox Photo Finish Primer - I don't use primer (gave it to my mom who loves primer)

5 - Benefit Cosmetics Dew the Hoola Soft Matte Liquid Bronzer - I have really light Asian skin so I don't even know where to begin using a bronzer. Will be giving this to a friend.

6 - BeautyBlender blotterazzi - perfect for summer when you are outside, but is it hygienic?

I do like the information pamphlet because it gives tips on how to use products if you are new to it. For improvement, I hope that they can curate samples based on your skin tone and type. Overall, if more than half of the samples are usable then it's good for me.

Maybe I should start piling up a "giveaway bag". Should I?
