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.

Marc Jacobs Beauty Nude Awakening Hydrating Medium Coverage Concealer

 Shade 140W - Light with Warm Undertones


Very cute packaging with the usual flower daisy decor. I dap 5-10 quick dots on my face and then used my fingers and it’s quick spreadable, but you have to work quick. Yes, to natural more matte finish and yes to medium coverage. It is buildable so it can cover pores if you apply more. I applied it over sunscreen, and it did feel quick dry. I do like this for summertime on the go. I will bring this to Taiwan with me.

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.

Marc Jacob Perfection Powder 200 Ivory Bisque

At first, I was trying to use the Real Techniques 300 foundation brush, but it wasn't picking up much, so I switched over to a smaller blush powder brush to see if product will be picked up. 



It very milled so it filled up the pores. Coverage is light to medium and it looks nice from far away.
But you have to have a light to medium liquid foundation underneath. I never use the sponge that was provided and to be honest, using brushes were hard to get the product. I love the sleek packaging but I have been using this as a regular powder instead of a foundation product.

Marc Jacobs Marvelous Mousse Transformative Foundation

Marc Jacobs Marvelous Mousse Transformative Foundation 26 Bisque Medium


I was so scared that I would get the wrong shade because this happened with the Marc Jacobs Gel foundation, but luckily I found the right shade in Bisque Medium. It's creamy and right for my combination dry skin. It can transfer but make sure you use a setting spray. Using this "marvelous mousse with a brush made my makeup look flawless. I loved it during the autumn and winters during the drier temperatures. I've actually may love this more than the cushion foundations but I cannot completely move away from cushion foundations yet.

 Marc Jacobs Beauty Genius Gel Super–Charged Oil–Free Foundation 34 Beige

This foundation is very thin and watery liquid texture.
I apply it using a brush and it blend smoothly along with a natural finish.
Very buildable but not highly coverage.
This is best for normal skin who like light coverage.
I used this foundation without primers and it looks fine.
I prefer pump bottles so this was perfect.

I love this marc jacob foundation but I think there is a dupe out there if you don't want to pay the high price.

Club Clio foundation is thin and yet has high coverage and applies thin like second skin. But Club Clio transfers and this marc jacob foundation doesn't transfer. This marcjacob foundation also has more shades than Club Clio but it wasn't enough for me to keep it.

Sephora February Play Box

Sephora February Play Box
The Soft Side
Make a Radiant Understatement
"Natural Beauty" theme

Liked 3 out of 5 products.

I was surprised with the pink silk bag but it was a bit light so I guessed that there will be lipsticks involved and I was right!

In the box/bag are the following:

Clinique - Pep-Start Hydroblur Moisturizer - this is a great moisturizer/primer for the summertime.
Nars - Velvet Lip Glide in Bound - this is my first Nars product and this lip color matches the bag and it is great for this upcoming spring.
Sephora Collection - Lashcraft Length and Volume Mascara - stop giving me mascara! I have enough to last me a lifetime!!
TooFaced - Lip Injection Glossy in Milkshake - I think I have "enough" lip for an Asian person. Plus I heard about the burning sensation and I'm not about to put uncomfortable stuff on my lip.
Origins - Ginzing Refreshning Eye Cream!!! I love eye cream!! I love Origins!!! that's enough said!
Marc Jacobs Divine Decadence - it's a very LIGHT scent so you can use this for brunch.
