Like many college students, stress causes me to get acne, this led me to buying many different products to get rid of those facial imperfections.
After buying way too many different products and getting mediocre results, I came across this gel which surprisingly actually works!
I was hesitant about it because it is a VERY popular product in Mexico and I have always been let down by popular acne medications like Proactive (it did not work for me.)
I got my hands on this product thanks to my mom who brought it back from Mexico several weeks ago and I am so happy with it because the results are very quick.
I also love the fact that the gel is in the color of foundation so it blends with your makeup and can be worn at any time without people noticing that you have it on.
The first time I used it at night I woke up the following day seeing results.
The smell is kind of nice and it is easy to work with because its not too runny or too thick.
Do I recommend this product? Yes, If I can get results then I'm pretty sure everyone will.
Would I buy again? Of course. If it ever runs out (it lasts a very long time.)
Recently I have suffered from dry skin and no matter how much moisturizer I used it would never go away, so I decided to head to Ulta and search for a solution.
What I found was this mask that promises to moisturize your skin and even brighten it, I was sold after reading many good reviews (because I hardly ever buy anything without reading reviews first.)
I had never heard of Mario Badescu's products but they looked promising. The mask cost $18, most of the other masks in his line are around the same price.
I was so anxious to try this mask that I used it the same day that I got it before going to bed.
The instruction on the bottle say to apply a thin layer to a clean face and let sit for 20 minutes before washing it off.
A few things I noticed: the texture, it feels like a clay mask and starts drying maybe around 8 seconds after applying to your face so it's important that you work fast.
A little bit goes a long way, the instructions say to apply a THIN layer.. I know sometimes we get desperate and we think if we apply more product our problem will be fixed faster but it really isn't true, so just stick to the instructions and don't waste product.
While reading reviews I noticed a lot of people saying it was difficult to take off but I honestly don't see how that's happening to them. I find it easy to wash off, obviously any mask that has to be washed off is already annoying to anyone so it should be expected that you will spend time washing it off. What works for me is I pat my face lightly with water and wait a few seconds, then I actually begin washing it off, this helps soften the product.
After using this mask for 2 weeks straight I noticed brighter, softer skin.
Would I buy this product again? Although I have seen many positive results, I want to keep using it and see if it gives even better results. After every use my skin feels better and better so perhaps after a month I will be able to answer this question, but for now I'm leaning more toward a yes.
Would I recommend? Yes, anyone who has stubborn dry skin will see great benefits from using this product.
Ever since I started wearing makeup I have made it my mission to find the best makeup remover out there. I have tried just about everything, but I always seem to have some residue.
I decided to try the Kale Detox Deep Cleaning And Face Wash mostly because it was only $10 at Ulta and for some reason that seemed cheap at the time.
First of all this face wash includes a toner so it already is awesome because i didn't have to buy a toner separately, it has an okay smell.. I guess it just smells like kale and herbs. The consistency is great and it foams when applying it, for the first time I could see my makeup actually dripping off my face even before I rinsed, I was a fan since my first use.
I definitely think this is one of the best facial cleansers, it leaves skin glowing and soft, and my face feels so much healthier.
Would I buy again? Absolutely, this is now my go-to makeup remover.
Do I recommend to everyone? Yes! I think even if you don't wear a lot of makeup it still helps keep your face in great condition.
I have a confession, I have recently been super obsessed with everything (South) Korean.
This began when I clicked the wrong TV Show on Netflix and ended up clicking on a K-Drama called Boys Over Flowers, at first I noticed the cheesiness.. then I noticed I couldn't stop watching it. Since the K-Dramas I've watched are only 15-23 episodes long, it seems like the perfect show to watch. K-Drama after K-Drama I slowly chose my favorites (Cunning Single Lady, Birth of a Beauty and Oh My Venus) and then I started feeling interested in K-Pop... then I started loving the makeup. And now we are here, with a new obsession with K-Beauty.
One thing I noticed that was blowing up a couple of weeks ago was Berrisom's Lip Tint, which is a lipstick that we put on very carefully, wait 15-20 minutes, we peel it off and we have lipstick for the next 12 hours without having to retouch!
The moment I read about it I knew I had to have it, so last week I ordered a pack with six different colors on www.memebox.com and waited anxiously to try them on.
I have to say I expected a Korean product to take a long time to arrive at my house, but it actually took 5 days! I also did not have to pay for shipping or taxes. I paid $32 for 6 lipsticks that sell for $9 each so it seemed like a good price.
It is important to know that the package had all the instructions in Korean so in order to know the steps, looking up the instructions online would be a good idea.
The first thing I did after getting them in the mail was try the colors on my arm..
What I noticed was that the consistency is VERY thick and can be hard to work with, the smell is not terrible and for some reason peeling it is an awesome feeling.
My model tried the color Virgin Red..
The lipsticks are awesome and we both loved it but it's very important to put them on carefully, i use a lipstick brush for applying just so I can be more precise.
Would I buy again? YES! I really fell in love with them because I don't like to put on lipstick every few hours, I would rather put it on once and not worry about it.
Is the price worth it? Definitely, obviously cheaper is always a good thing but sometimes we need to realize we get what we pay for.
Since this post is about everything Korean, I will end this by sharing with you all my current favorite K-Pop song, instead of the actual music video it is a live performance.
