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.

CoverGirl Outlast All-Day Lipstick in 621 Natural Blush
I was excited to received this product complimentary in exchange for my honest opinion. I love that I received this natural blush color which was very flattery against my fair/light skin. I have been trying to use up my JS Velour nudes liquid lipstick and this product kept reminding me and is a dupe of that product. This product comes with a easy to apply liquid lipstick and dries down fast with a clear balm which is a must to add afterwards to give your lips moisture and prevents your lips from feeling like hay. This color does wear off when you eat so re-application is a must.

Jeffree Star nude liquid lip set
I recieved the Jeffree Star Nude Lip Set in my 2021 Spring Mystery Box. I decided to pick 3 colors out of the set and give away the others to share with family and friends. I chose Skin Tight, Celebrity Skin, and Rose Matter. I like Skin Tight because I look like I am not wearing any color and I add his lip gloss and it's the perfect combination. Rose Matter is a beautiful rose pink color for spring and Celebrity Skin is a bit brown for my taste.

I love this rosy nude.
Very creamy and pigmented.
This lipstick is in my purse so I can reapply on-the-go.
Totally recommend and repurchase!

Maybelline COLOR SENSATIONAL® THE CREAMS, CREAM FINISH LIPSTICK MAKEUP Pink Pose 233
I like maybelline lipsticks, but it's all about picking the right shade.
I never get the right shade.
This time I got Pink Pose and it's too pink for me.
Other than the shade, the lipstick is very creamy and you must not forget to reapply.

Givenchy Rouge Le Rouge 315 Framboise Velours - deep raspberry pink
Givenchy Rouge Le Rouge 315 Framboise Velours - deep raspberry pink
This is a creamy, very pigment mauve rose color. It is so pigmented that when I eat a meal and drink and the color was still on the lips. This product lives up to its name. It felt semi-matte with a liquid lipstick feeling.

Smashbox Be legendary Triple Tone Lipstick in shade Berry
Smashbox Be legendary Triple Tone Lipstick in shade Berry

I love to use this product when I apply purple or pink eye-shadows but not as an everyday wear. It's very creamy, matte and pigmented. It looks great when you apply it on your lips but the three colors eventually mixes and blends-what's the point for the three-tone color then??

Sephora Lipstick Hong Kong by Night
#Lipstories
I was always attracted to Asian countries and when I heard about Sephora new affordable lipstick line I wanted to get my hands on a certain color. I went to the store the week that this line was released and I swatched "Hong Kong by Night" and loved it but it was SOLD OUT!!! I had my friend from Canada (our neighboring country) to send me one because it was sold out everywhere. I love the slightly metallic with a bit of sparkle and the perfect red color when applied onto my lips.

Primera Natural Berry Lip Balm
Primera Natural Berry Lip Balm - $13

This was my life saver when it came to dry lips this winter.
The cold weather made my lips chapped to crack and bleed lips.
My lips were peeling and need something strong and healing.
I tried it all-herbivore lip balm and L'occitane PURE SHEA BUTTER didn't help either.
Not only did this lip balm feel smooth, it healed my lips and it also taste yummy-i didn't eat it lol.

Tarte Tarteist Quick Dry Matte Lip Paint in Delish

I love this rosy mauve color!
This liquid liptick is a bit too dry for me.
Yes, it is full coverage and it dries quick but the aftermath of dry lips is not a great look.

Ysl BabyDoll KISS AND BLUSH 16
Was excited when I got this!!

However, I was highly disappointed. Either I got a bad one or that it was dry and very clumpy.
Color was pretty but it didn't blend well and looked really messy. I had to use another lipstick above it to mix it so it looked creamy and "put together".
It is matte but not worth the price tag.

REDDY Lip tattoo pack
I received this product complimentary from 0.8L and Reddy in exchange for my honest opinion. I got this product for free from 0.8L and Reddy in exchange for my honest opinion.

You apply it like lip gloss and then wait about 15-20 minutes.
Then try to peel it off like guck. I have seen these before since I started Korean beauty and skincare. This is a big phenomena for people that would NOT like to re-apply lipstick.
I had never been into this liking but I was willing to try it out.

This is the BEFORE picture.

And then I apply a good amount to layer it really thick because I didn't want to fail the first time.

It tasted so weird when I was waiting for it to dry. It's a lovely color and I was surprised at the color payoff, but the stain went away after a meal. I was disappointed because I never wipe my lips with a napkin during the entire meal when the lip stain was on.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Gloss-Petal
Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Gloss-Petal
I was so surprised on how pigmented this lip gloss was.
Just calling this a lip gloss doesn't do it justice.
This should be called liquid lipstick.
It is full coverage and it doesn't feel dry.
It also lasted my entire 8 hours shift at work and I didn't need to reapply after lunch.
I'm so glad that I order 2 of these because these just became my favorite lip products!

Reddy Real Scene Matte Lipstick
This is a cushion lippie, well it has a blending sponge at the end!!
My first try at a cushion lipstick, but you really don't need to use the sponge!!!
The color is roller #4 which is a nice red shade. It's not loud or bright but it give you a bit of color to your face.
I love this. I will be using this a lot during the upcoming autumn season.
Moisturizing - very
Coverage - yes
Wear - matte
Dewy Glow - none
Lasting Power - yes, but you need to reapply a bit after you have a heavy meal
Scent - it smell really good. It makes me think of fruits.

NYX butter Lipstick - Midnight Swim
This is a very pigmented lipstick, doesn't stay on very long so re-application is a must.
Very creamy and moisturizing. glides onto the lips easily.
Not re-purchasing because there are many more lipsticks out there to try.
The name "midnight swim" has nothing to do with this pink color lipstick.

HolikaHolika Dessert Time Lip Balm - Lemon
HolikaHolika Dessert Time Lip Balm - Lemon -
At first, I didn't like the favor of Lemon so I though about giving it away, but lip balms are best to put in your handbag during the summer to avoid chapped lips.
I needed a lip balm, so I though why not open it and try it.
The snap is really easily accessible.
It's very creamy on the lips, of course the color is sheer.
Very surprising and great packaging. I will definitely buy again, in another flavor.

elf moisturizing Lipstick
I like the lipstick formula because of the creamy texture, but this nude color makes my face look dull so I passed it onto my mom and she loved it. Guess everyone likes color differently.

Clio Gelpresso Melting Lipstick 5 Lady Peach
The shade Lady Peach (5) is a light coral color with simmer and glitter.
The color pigmentation didn't last long, but it is moisturizing.
This had been a favorite of mine this past summer.
Perfect for "no-makeup" days.

VDL lip essence
To me, this feels like an Korean chap-stick or Vaseline.
Perfect for cold winters when your lips are very dry.
Clear and thick texture.
