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.

FabFitFun Welcome Box



It seems that JULY is subscription boxes to me.
I have ordered or subscription a lot of new boxes to try out - some being gems, some being disappointments.

I thought I was using the Welcome code for a regular quarter season box but instead came an "welcome Box".
I wasn't too happy so I cancelled my subscription because they are quite misleading.
For $25, I got stuff that I didn't want to use, but I will try to use because I don't like to waste products.
The only thing that interest me was the "eye serum", "hairspray" and the "jump rope".
I'm not sure when I will use either.
The eye serum is deluxe sample size that I will bring to my autumn trip to Taiwan, it will last me about a month so it's perfect for my month trip.
The Wren 14kt Gold-Dipped and Black Sapphire Necklace will be given away to someone.
The earbuds will come in handy when I'm in need for an emergency earphones.
The hair spray is self-explanation - I think I should start using hair products.
The jump rope - I have to start somewhere with that lol.
With the Zoya Nail Polish, I prefer the "avril" color because it is more of a spring/summer color as compared to the "carey" color that I got which I will use for the winter.
The Protein shake, my brother took when I opened my box, so I guess he likes that one.

It might be nice for some people but I will pass on this subscription.

General Haul #33 - MAC Cosmetics Sample Sale in NYC!


So I stood in this monstrous line at 1:30pm (doors didn't open until 2pm) first ever M.A.C cosmetics sample sale in NYC event and waited outside for 3 hours. Yes, it was hot and sunny. Not much shaded areas.



Bags were checked inside the 4th floor showroom. Walked around, looked for 5 minutes and went to stay in checkout line for 20 minutes.


So the line for the products go from lips to nail polish to eye shadow to powder, highlighter, contour and then face. I just came for the foundation (which wasn't any). I went to "face" portion first and the only thing available on the first day was the Lightful C 2-in-1 Tint and Serum Radiance Booster  (in all 5 shades) for $24-I got 2 bottles.

I was looking for the limited editions of Chris Chang or Guo Pei products - none of these!
Only one type of brush - eye shadow brush ($10).
I got two nail polishes - $4.80 each.
I got two lippies - $7 and $8 each.
I didn't get the lip crayons cause I never tried them.
For 60% off I was disappointed but I wasn't overjoyed either.
Let me know if there are other things on the other days in the comments below!

Enjoy shopping!
