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.

GlamGlow PowerCleanse

GlamGlow PowerCleanse

I picked this over the others on the line because of it's dual usage and the green color of the package. One side is the mud mask and the other side is oil cleansing. It's a pump that it's very easy to press once you continue to use it over time. The oil cleansing portion is good for my dry sensitive skin, but this product doesn't have a "WOW" factor so I wouldn't repurchase it.

Marc Jacob Perfection Powder 200 Ivory Bisque

At first, I was trying to use the Real Techniques 300 foundation brush, but it wasn't picking up much, so I switched over to a smaller blush powder brush to see if product will be picked up. 



It very milled so it filled up the pores. Coverage is light to medium and it looks nice from far away.
But you have to have a light to medium liquid foundation underneath. I never use the sponge that was provided and to be honest, using brushes were hard to get the product. I love the sleek packaging but I have been using this as a regular powder instead of a foundation product.

CoverFX Illuminating Setting Spray


I didn't care much for setting sprays until it's the summertime.
It has a bit of shimmer and fine mist. I love hearing the sound that it makes when I shake the bottle. Vegan and alcohol-free-can't complain.
I think this is better for dry skin because I have no complains with this setting spray, love that the scent is at the minimalist.

Too Faced Born This Way Foundation in NUDE

I finally caved in and brought this holy grail foundation that most of the beauty community have been loving. I understood the love for this foundation when I applied it on my face. It is full coverage, and it doesn't move as most as almost all foundations out there. I brought it when TooFaced released 11 new shades choosing "Nude" (very light with rosy undertones) as my shade.

It has ingredients such as coconut water, alpine rose and hyaluronic acid. 




Moisturizing - light
Coverage - medium
Wear - medium
Dewy Glow - light
Lasting Power - medium
Oxidizing - none
Scent - flowery

Bang Beauty Chocolate Gel Eye Liner

  1. Bang Beauty Chocolate Gel Eye Liner - I do like gel eyeliners but I prefer the pencil form and not pot form but I can probably use this for a brow liner too.

This doesn't stay on as eyeliner so I have been using it as eye brow.
As long as it matches your brow, it stays on as a brow. Since it's a pot, doesn't look very hygienic for me.

Repurchase-nahh.
