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.

NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation

NARS Mini Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation
NARS

Vienna (light skin with peach undertones)

I'm surprised how much I love this foundation. 
I ended up using this for my wedding photos because it made my skin look flawless without looking cakey. Doesn't irritate my skin or shows my pores more. It blends easily, light weight and doesn't rub off.

Nars Summer Solstice Cheek Duo

 Nars Summer Solstice Cheek Duo

I have fair to light skin, and I'm always scared of bronzers. I never liked the popular laguna bronzer, so I was hesitated to purchase this. But when I opened this product from the box, I was blinded by how shiny the packaging was. The color of the shade of the bronzer and highlight was perfect. It doesn't look chalky or "dirty" on my face. Love it and can't wait to use it the entire summer.

Nars All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation Gobi

My first expression when I open the product and pump it out was "it's so watery" and I hated it. But I learned to work it with a beauty blender. I ended up mixing it with a thicker foundation consistent and liked it. It's full coverage or build-able if you mix this product with Too Faced Born this Way. Sometimes this work on me and sometimes it doesn't. It is definitely weightless because you don't feel as if there's foundation on your face, but it transfers so buyer beware. I wouldn't recommend it or repurchase this.

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.
