Here is my assortment of empties this month from left to right: Femmue Global Youth Spring Lotion Full review here. Purchased as part of Beautibi's Spring Box. 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
When Ippin reached out to me back in November, I was super stoked for a few reasons. For example, Their selection of products looked really interesting. They have FlowFushi, Kate, Acseine, which are all brands I recognize from the Cosme best-of lists but have never tried Their prices seemed very competitive for the few items I … Continue reading Ippin -New Japanese E-Commerce Site- Introduction and Window Shopping
Awhile ago, I posted about the Muji sensitive skin cleansing oil, still one of my favorites. Since then, I have gone through three different bottles of it (in various sizes) and have noticed that there are (at least) two versions. After cross-referencing the English ingredients (provided on stickers applied to the bottles), it seemed that … Continue reading PSA/Rant: Do NOT trust Muji Ingredient Stickers
For the longest time, all I wanted was a cleansing oil that worked. Something that removed all my makeup, didn't leave any residue on my face, and didn't break me out. After a comically long struggle, I found one, and I still think it's the best no-nonsense, super functional, great value, oil cleanser out there. … Continue reading Astalift Cleansing Oil Review
A few years ago, I worked in a building that had a newly open self-serve frozen yogurt shop on its ground floor. One of my coworkers and I figured out quickly that while the yogurt itself was terrible, there were other benefits to be had and so, in the afternoon, two or three times a … Continue reading Mochitto Mochi Mochi Awadate-Irazu Face Wash Without Bubbling Review

Acwell Bubble-Free pH Balanced Cleanser Previously reviewed. This cleanser doesn't play nicely with my face so I used it up as a hand … Continue reading March and April Empties
For those that don't know, Glossier is a beauty brand borne out of Emily Weiss's blog, Into the Gloss, which features close looks at the beauty routines of beautiful people. This blog frustrates me for the same reason it fascinates me - regardless of what I put on my face, I'm never going to look like … Continue reading Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser Review
I've been agonizing over this review for quite some time now because, well, do you guys remember this song? When I shop for second cleansers, I have a list of deal breakers and pitfalls, such as having a high pH, producing foam, sodium lauryl sulfate or papain, because my skin doesn't tolerate those things well. This cleanser avoids every … Continue reading Acwell Bubble-Free pH Balancing Cleanser Review
I used to live with a girl who was manically obsessed with cleansiness and organization and who, following a trip to Italy, came back with a suitcase full of not only cashmere tights and Schoko-Bons, but also pens, containers, and storage tools she had purchased from a "Japanese, brand-less store" called Muji. This was my first introduction … Continue reading Muji Sensitive Skin Cleansing Oil
This is the Ryan Reynolds of cleansing oils, ridiculously good looking but not what you would cast for a movie requiring more acting talent than the frat boy version of Freaky Friday. I wanted really, really badly to be a fan but I’m not. If you want to see some pretty(ish - my photograph skills … Continue reading Re:cipe Marine Mineral Cleansing Fluid Review
