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.

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.

Shiseido Synchro Skin Self-Refreshing Concealer

I like this medium coverage dewy concealer because of its compact packaging and flexible application brush but it has only a 4 hour wear stay. It does crease and break apart but the pro is that its very lightweight. I've received this complimentary product from Influsenter for my honest review.

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!

Dr.Jart+ Ctrl-A Spot Cover

Dr.Jart+ Ctrl-A Spot Cover

It is more of a makeup than a skincare product

More of a concealer.
Cover skin blemish, soothes and protects.
It doesn't stay on power.
I think it wasn't worth it for $20.
At least the color matched my skin.

General Haul #35 - Club Clio Sample Sale at the Union Square NYC


Load and behold the first Korean sample sale that I brought my mom to!
She loved it!
She keep throwing stuff into my hand held shopping basket.
Club Clio is a Korean makeup cosmetics company that has really highly pigmented and quality products.
I have been using this brand for about a year and I will keep using it for a while.


Onto the sale, it was my first time visit to the union square location and it was pretty spacious if compare to the Brooklyn location.
I decided to go on the third day out of the four day sale to avoid the crowds.
But the skincare stuff were gone-it's ok, I will gladly wait for the Peach and Lily sale next week!

This current sale had a lot of makeup-mainly lipsticks and powders. Lipsticks were 3 for $10. I ended up getting three Lippies, one lip balm, 1 eye crayon and 1 eye shadow. I tried to get stuff that I don't owe as of now at home, especially the "art" line.

I think the foundations and powders were worth more because they were on sale for 3 for $20 but I have way too many foundation so my mom just picked a few. I'm surprised that they had shade 5-sand and shade 6-tan which are the darkest shade.

The goodies that I got were:
  1. Clio Kill Cover Highest Wear Foundation in shade 6-Tan
  2. Clio Kill Cover Highest Wear Foundation in shade 5- Sand
  3. Clio Kill Cover Highest Wear Pact in shade 5 - Sand
  4. Clio Virgin Kiss Tinted Lip in shade 15- Hwa
  5. Clio Virgin Kiss Tinted Lip in shade 23 Clubber
  6. Clio Gelpresso Melting Lipsticks in shade 5 - Lady Peach
  7. Clio Virgin Kiss Tinted Lip Primer
  8. Clio Concealer
  9. Clio Art Lipstick in shade M014-Rose Pink
  10. Clio Art Shadow in Shade 417- Forte Green Brown
  11. Clio Virgin Kiss Super Moisturizing Pot Lip Balm in shade 2-Miss Peach
  12. Peripera Letter Me Waterproof Eye Crayon in shade 7-So Bad
  13. Clio Diamond Lip stick in shade 13 - GlamBeige
  14. Clio Diamond Lip Stick in shade 15 - MistyBeige
  15. Goodal Energy Oil

I will do some individual reviews on the products I got for myself in the upcoming future!
