Tatcha Water cream

 Best day or night cream during the hot summer conditions. A bit watery for my taste, but a little goes a long way. Skin feels soft and smooth the morning after. Packaging looks luxe on my selfie bathroom vanity.  I love to lather this all over my face and neck before going outside.

Tatcha DEWY SKIN CREAM Replenishing & Plumping Moisturizer

 I've been using this product more at night since I found out I was pregnant. My skin is ultra soft and smooth when I wake up in the morning and wash my face. But after using half the jar and as the weather got warmer, my skin was becoming more oily as the day goes on. So I will stick to using this either at nights or winter day creams.

Tatcha SILKEN PORE PERFECTING SUNSCREEN Broad Spectrum SPF 35 PA+++

This is the perfect sunscreen for the winter time or transition from autumn to winter. This is a sunscreen in a moisturizer. It's creamy and soothing for the skin but quite thick to rub into the skin for my taste.

Tatcha AGELESS REVITALIZING NECK CREAM

Tatcha AGELESS REVITALIZING NECK CREAM

Grown to love this neck cream during quarantine when I'm wearing the masks and run around in the hospital. I would repurchase because of the high price tag, but this is very hydrating!

Tatcha skin Plumping Softener essence

  

I purchased this set box because I wanted to try this brand after hearing many great reviews. It seem like a luxurious product and it claims many benefits. I do love the packaging, and it didn't break me out. I assume if you were a novice user that this will be good for you but I would like to think of myself as more of an advantaged user because I've been using products about 5 years now. I definitely will not repurchase this hence I didn't see any change, maybe because it is rice fermented water? And if this is just an "essence" I rather use other brands. Yes, I will categorized this Tatcha skin softener with IOPE and SKII essence if it doesn't break your budget and bank account.

Tatcha VIOLET-C RADIANCE MASK

Tatcha VIOLET-C RADIANCE MASK


I had high expectations for this product, but I was let down. It is just a luxurious wash off mask for a weekend spa day. This product does claim that it has AHA which help with exfoliating and dullness. The mask is very smooth and it doesn't dry out on the face. My face didn't look radiant or any different than before a single use. I suggest using it 5 or 6 times in a row to see some result but who am I kidding, I have a full-time 12 hour shift job which allows me to do these 30 minute mask on my days off. I know one thing for sure is that I will not throw away the jar after I'm done. The packaging is so beautiful!

Tatcha radiant deep brightening serum

I brought this because I wanted to start getting into Tatcha skincare. This is my 3rd product after the water cream and the wash off mask. It is milky and nice but not worth the hefty price tag in my opinion. It does feel luxurious, great for my sensitive skin and I use it as a night serum. But I wouldn't repurchase this and I think this item is discontinued because I don't see it on the website anymore.

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.
