I feel like this is THE product for people who think they’re missing out. For example, if you’ve heard about the wonders of horse oil but can’t get over the idea of dead horses, this is a decent, vegan (there's no horse, but there is snail) alternative. If you find the texture of lotion or cream to … Continue reading Neogen Dermatology Dual Layer Ceramide Oil Review

Spotlight on Ginseng!
There are a lot of "all-natural beauty" types out there who swear by the refrain if you wouldn't eat it, don't put it on your skin. I've always thought thought that guideline was silly, not only because there are a lot of chemicals that are awesome for your skin, but also because if I only … Continue reading Spotlight on Ginseng!
AVECKO Haul: Ginseng, Honey, and Masks Galore!
I've been trying my very best to practice responsible hauling, but had a moment of weakness at the beginning of this month when I went a little crazy. This is the second haul I received last week (the first from Rakuten). In addition, I placed not one but TWO orders with Avecko, two days apart. … Continue reading AVECKO Haul: Ginseng, Honey, and Masks Galore!
Guerisson 9 Complex Essence
This is one of the first things I've bought since I started marathoning watching Get it Beauty. The show is a bit ridiculous, but as a 25 year old who is urgently trying to learn how to adult makeup, it's very useful. It's also a great way to discover new products that are popular in Korea! … Continue reading Guerisson 9 Complex Essence

Alas, dragons do not actually exist and the stuff in this essence isn't blood at all, but tree sap, but it's kind of an interesting ingredient nevertheless. This essence comes in a red, glass pump bottle. I feel like an … Continue reading Secret Key Dragon Bloody Essence
Purebess Special 100% Galactomyces Extract Essence
I’ve been running low on enthusiasm for Asian skincare products as of late, due in part to the number of products everyone else seemed crazy about but didn't do much for my skin. But it seems like the tides are turning! First with Goodal’s waterest lasting water oil and now with this terrific and economical … Continue reading Purebess Special 100% Galactomyces Extract Essence
LHJ Tea Tree 90 Essence
I avoided this essence for a long time because my previous experience with tea tree oil was in the form of a cleanser that was stinky and too harsh on my already parched skin. However, three months ago the now famous Banila & Co Clean it Zero cleanser brought on an acne storm the likes … Continue reading LHJ Tea Tree 90 Essence
Benton Snail Bee High Content Essence and Steam Cream
I’ll keep this quick because there is already a lot written about these two products. I was really excited to try out this combo due to the nearly unanimously positive reviews, but sadly the products didn't live up to the hype. ESSENCE First the essence. Thin, jelly like texture. It feels really nice to apply … Continue reading Benton Snail Bee High Content Essence and Steam Cream
