Latest from my Instagram

Someone sent me a really nice DM to tell me that my posts introduced her to Biologique Recherche and now she uses BR, too and has seen improvement in her acne situation. 🥰 When I tried to reply, I somehow accidentally deleted it. If that was you, I'm so sorry! I was happy to read the message though and thrilled that your skin is in a better place. If you DM me again, I promise not to screw up again and delete it by mistake 😬 _ Speaking of BR, I'm putting in a BR order this week and I'm excited for that. Need to re-buy Masque Vivant and Placenta Serum. I'm tempted by A Glyca, but a couple reviewers have mentioned breakouts while using it, so now I'm thinking not _ I'm also considering Serum Fluide VIP O2, but after breaking out while using the Creme VIP O2 and also the VIP O2 eye cream, I'm hesitant to try anything fr the VIP line. Maybe VIP line is too rich (haha) for my acne prone skin? If you have experience with any of these, let me know your thoughts! _ #latergram of last night's #skincareroutine 1️⃣Glossier Milky Oil to remove eye makeup 2️⃣Tata Harper Nourishing Oil Cleanser* 3️⃣Lait U 4️⃣P50 1970 5️⃣Masque Vivant, rinsed off after 20 mins 6️⃣Placenta Serum 7️⃣Oligo-Protein Marines, on undereyes only for brightening 8️⃣Complex Iribiol on trouble spots 9️⃣Chanel Le Lift Eye Cream 🔟Creme Dermopurifiante 1️⃣1️⃣Glossier Balm Dotcom _ *= PR #biologiquerecherche#byredo#glossier#tataharper#chanelskincare#reveriecake#diptyque#beautygram#skincarediary#skincarelover#beautylover#skincareobsessed#beautyroutine#lelabo#welovecoco

Christmas prep makes me feel like a zombie- so tired. It’s a different kind of zombie feeling compared to the rest of the year, because this one is in the pursuit of holiday cheer lol. I’m still not ready tbh 😂😭 _ Here's my #skincareroutine from tonight, Monday 12/23/19 1️⃣Hanyul Artemisia Cleansing Oil 2️⃣Holifrog AHA Wash* 3️⃣Paulas Choice Retinol Booster* 4️⃣Dr Jart Cicapair Gel Cream* 5️⃣Amorepacific Essential Fluid* 6️⃣Balm Dotcom _ * = PR sample #hanyul#holifrog#drjart#glossier#kbeauty#koreanskincare#beautyroutine#skincarediary#skincarelover#skincareobsessed#skincarejunkie#paulaschoice

Here are some serums that I ordered recently and some initial thoughts on each… _ The Ordinary 5% Caffeine Solution EGCG- I read that this works really well for undereye darkness and puffiness, but noticed that it contains Melanin. I've never seen that in an ingredient list before. Anyone know how Melanin works as a skincare ingredient? 🤔 _ Deciem CAIS 2.1- I meant to buy the large size, but accidentally bought the small size during the 23% off Deciem sale and now it’s over, whomp-whomp. I used the original version of CAIS a couple years ago and recall liking its healing qualities on my acne flare ups. I'm going to start using this once my Biologique Recherche Placenta Serum is empty, which will be very soon! _ Skinceuticals Serum 20 AOX + - This contains Vit C and Ferulic Acid, but no Vitamin E, so is well suited for acne prone skin types like mine. I opened it up to view the color and thankfully saw that it's a pale yellow. Will start using this once my iS Clinical Super Serum Advance+ runs out. BTW, the iS Clinical Super Serum Advance+ is excellent. The iS Clinical serum has barely oxidized in the 3-ish months I've been using it and I'm happy with how brightening it's been for my skin. One thing I’ve noticed is that is that the iS Clincal serum leaves my skin tingly at times, and I haven’t experienced that with other Vit C serums. So, I wonder if the iS Clinical is more stronger/more active than others I’ve used? _ #theordinary#deciem#skinceuticals#skincarelover#skincareobsessed#skinceuticalsserum#deciemcais#beautylover#skincare

I keep saying that I'll get back to posting daily again, but then life happens and I stay away for days/weeks lol. I posted in my Stories a while back, that both my car AND my husband's car were totaled by a drunk driver in front of our house. Thankfully, no injuries since we weren't in the cars, but our daily routines were upended for a while as we sorted through the insurance claims, rental cars, researching and then purchasing new cars. Looking forward to closure on this weird and unfortunate experience, but counting our blessings too _ Thanks to everyone who is still here and hanging out with me, and also to the brands who've recently sent me new products! I hope to get back to posting regularly. BTW, I can't believe Christmas is nearly here 😱 _ Here's my #skincareroutine from last night, Monday 12/9/19 1️⃣Hanyul Artemisia Cleansing Oil 2️⃣Holifrog Superior Omega Nutritive Gel Wash* 3️⃣Oligo Proteines Marines on undereyes only, for brightening 4️⃣Sunday Riley Good Genes 5️⃣Creme Dermopurifiante on my newly sprouted jawline acne thanks to holiday stress eating 6️⃣Mango Balm Dotcom _ * = PR sample #hanyul#holifrog#biologiquerecherche#sundayriley#glossier#kbeauty#koreanskincare#beautyroutine#skincarediary#skincarelover#skincareobsessed#skincarejunkie#diptyque

I got a Jolse order yesterday and those can feel like a surprise gift to myself since it typically takes about 3-4 wks for the package to arrive from Korea. Half the time when I see the box, I'm like, oh wow, what did I order again? Then I open it up and am so pleased. Good job on this order, self from 4 wks ago LOL. I restocked some faves that I was running low on that were fortuitously on sale. Will post to my Stories later today! _ Here's my morning #skincareroutine for Thursday, 12/5/19 1️⃣Holifrog Tashmoo Water Lily Nourishing Milky Wash* 2️⃣Missha FTE mist 3️⃣iS Clinical Super Serum Advance Plus 4️⃣Oligo Proteines Marines on undereyes only, for brightening 5️⃣Skinmedica Lytera 2.0 Good Molecules 6️⃣Hyaluronic Acid Serum* 7️⃣Volition Celery Green Cream* 8️⃣Paula's Choice Anti Pollution Shield*, NP 9️⃣Chanel Le Lift Eye Cream 🔟TCFS Jean George Llong Sun Cream SPF 50 PA+++ 1️⃣1️⃣Glossier Mango Balm Dotcom _ * = PR sample #volitionbeauty#toocoolforschool#missha#holifrog#Biologiquerecherche#skinmedic#kbeauty#koreanskincare#goodmolecules#isclinical#beautylish#skincarediary#skincarelover#oilyskincare#skincarejunkie#skincareobsessed#beautyroutine
