Opening new products can be exciting in a lot of different ways. With some brands (Blossom Jeju, Papa Recipe), I eagerly anticipate the delicious scents the product is sure to reveal. With cushion foundations, the joy lies in dipping a finger (or rubycell puff if you're good) into an untouched sponge. With Swanicoco products, particularly … Continue reading Swanicoco Swan Cream Review
I've been trashing a lot of toners (among other things) from my skincare stash. I hate being wasteful but I finally came to the realization that I don't have the mental energy to force myself to use up products that don't bring me joy if I want to do other unenjoyable, adult things like eating vegetables or going to … Continue reading Comparison Review of 5 Japanese Ceramide Toners
Times they are a'changing in the US for Asian Beauty fans! KBeauty is now available at CVS, Japan Post is banning sunscreen shipments, and Memebox US, the ridiculously well-funded US-based K-Beauty e-commerce site has come up with yet another way to piss off their customers. I haven't done a haul post in a long time because I'm … Continue reading Althea Haul & Unboxing

Has a beautiful rosy scent but takes a little long to dry down and the airless pump dispenses far too much product. I ended up using this up as … Continue reading January Empties
In 2016, one of my favorite product discoveries was the Swanicoco Fermentation Snail Care Emulsion. I was blown away with not only its killer ingredient list but also its luxurious, silky texture. That's why when Swanicoco reached out to me a few months ago and asked if I would be interested in testing and reviewing … Continue reading Swanicoco Fermentation Care Collection Review
Mizon is one of the first brands that completely blew my mind when I first discovered the world of Korean Beauty. I remember coming back from a desert camping trip that was a lot of fun, but left my skin feeling and looking parched and worn out. I had a sample sachet of the Mizon … Continue reading Mizon Hyaluronic Acid 100 Ampoule Review
As much as I love summer, it doesn't make for interesting skincare, at least for my dry skin yup, I'm going to go ahead and blame the neglect of this blog the past couple of months on summer and now that autumn is upon us, I'm finally getting my act together and am busily stockpiling new … Continue reading Dearpacker Moisture MasCream Review
While laying in bed the other night, unable to sleep, it occurred to me that the rise of Korean beauty might not have been possible without Kim Kardashian. Just hear me out! To the casual observer, a 10-step beauty routine may seem excessive, but it hardly compares to Kim. Kim Kardashian is the ultimate 10-step … Continue reading Aromatica Calendula Juicy Cream Review
