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.

Farmacy 1% Vitamin A Retinol Serum

 

I'm trying to get into using retinol, so this was a great introductory product.  I have been using this for preventive care for my smile lines and neck. I just use a pump after I apply essence on my face. It's good for my sensitive skin so no complaints.

Farmacy DEEP SWEEP 2% BHA pore cleaning toner 4.0 fl. oz / 120 ml.

I purchased this toner because I wanted a BHA to add into my skincare routine. I was tired of seeing blackheads and whiteheads on my face. Plus I needed a toner so got it during a Sephora sale or a Farmacy sale. Skin looks toned when I use this twice a week in the winter time and I don't see as many comedonic pores like I've seen before. I will upgrade into using this 3-5 times a week during the spring or warmer weather conditions.

Sephora Favorites Skin Saviors

Why did I get another one of these Sephora Favorites box?
Because I couldn't help it and the Kate Somerville product was something that I have yet to try.

Score makeup-ready skin with the latest in hydration
Good-for-you ingredients,amped way up.
Experience the skin-boosting benefits from light yet luxurious goat milk, soothing honey, rejuvenating sugar, and more with these five deliciously nourishing finds. 




Korres Pomegrante balancing cream-gel moisturizer with not much of anticipation. Soothing and best for the spring/summertime.

Farmacy sleep tight firming night balm - with echinacea green envy, It's nice as to all farmacy products are.

Olehenriksen truth sugar glow polishing mask - mediocre exfoliator, not great for dry skin. I even tried using it in the shower and it was still harsh on the skin.

Kate Somerville goat milk moisturizing cleanser - this was the product that drove me to purchase it because I haven't used an Kate Somerville product.

Origins drink up intensive overnight mask - this is my second time buying this product. I used it when I was in Taiwan during the humid weather and I loved it and I loved it while using this in the cold Philly weather. So best for all weather conditions.

Sephora Play January 2017

Beauty, Set, Go
Stellar Products Are Only the Beginning




tarte FRXXXTION Stick - a gel cleanser in a stick form. This is something new to me with an western brand. Usually I have seen this with Korean brands such as su:m37 and neogen.

Ouai Treatment Masque - yes! A hair product that will help me with damaged hair. I really enjoy hair products that aren't in a spray form so I was glad about this one.

Tory Burch - Love Relentlessly - I'm a fan of the Tory Burch perfume so I was excited to receive this in the bag

Farmacy - Honey Potion Renewing Antioxidant Hydration Mask - I love a honey mask given to me during the winter months.

Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey - nothing wrong with lip balm plus a little color

AmorePacific Color Control Cushion Compact Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ - finally a cushion foundation sample!!

I loved this month's Sephora Play.
