My Asian Face Care

I mean for real, this shit sucks. You can’t do the things you want to do, let alone the things you need to do and every day you try to figure out how to survive.

But the worst part?

I’m almost out of toner.

And serum.

Well I’ve been off work for a while due to a back injury. Since I have two days left of my unexpected recovery time I’ve decided to go all out on being pampered today and figured it would be a good update! Now Winter, that icy hearted bitch, is doing a number to my face. 

Normally I’m slow to wake up in the morning so I usually only use three of these products on a daily basis and can get away with looking and feeling great. However the temperature outside has been so fluctuating that my skin just gave up. 

So from now on, I’m going to keep this regiment up until I can afford some lighter stuff for spring and summer.

And restock on all my favorites of course.

You just work your butt off. Quit my main job and trying to make my secondary job work for me (OMG I hate paperwork. The fucking BANE of my existence). 

Sadly this means that I will not be able to purchase any new goodies. 

So I think what I’m going to do is stop my Regiment for a bit just to show you guys what exactly I’m talking about. I want to show you guys what my problem spots are and what I do to stop them.

I want you to see my ugly side.

The only down fall I see in this is that I have to make sure my facial hair is behaving. Damn Mexican genes......

Also, feel free to ask questions or call me a dumb dumb it’s cool. At least I know people are actually reading this :)

You know, I’m poor. I can’t get new shit all the time. That’s primarily the reason why I stopped posting on here. I ran out of content. (Well sorta). I left here with two followers

I come back and I have 13.

Black Pomegranate Toner and Emulsion from Skinfood!

These are trial sizes (obviously) and I got four of these dinky things. They actually last quite a while and I love how my skin feels afterwords. There’s hardly an identifiable scent to them but I can’t exactly call them “no scent”. 

Now just in case you’re curious, an emulsion is a very light type of lotion, perfect for people with combo skin or oily skin. They still pack a punch when it comes to moisturizing but not so much to where your skin gets clogged and heavy feeling. And since I need that extra punch without my feeling like a million pounds, this is what I like best. 

My only complaint is that it is literally the most challenging part of my day to get the freaking emulsion out of the damn container. I’ve had to Hulk rage just to get the stupid stuff out numerous times.

Sorry my posts are shorter then normal, work got me doing full time hours now with little to no breaks. I mean, I just got done working seven 8 hour shift days and had one day off before I work three more days. 

Man oh man, I’ve been waiting for this haul for like two weeks now I think. I was running low on my serum from my first haul to the point that I’ve been skipping my nightly regiment until I got this one in.

First up is Skin Food Peach Sake Pore Serum! 

This baby is thick glass for the base with a plastic cap wrapped in a thick thing of paper. It’s a pump style container and I’ll be honest, I’ve already tested it. It comes out in a kind of thick white glob and the smell is very very rich and smells like sun ripened peaches, but only when I was really rubbing it in. No, not that fake peach smell, or that leathery peach smell. I’m talking like shading yourself under a peach tree on a hot day and reaching up to grab a warm plump fruit and biting into that heavenly sweet flesh and having it drip down your chin kind of peach. I love it! It also doesn’t leave any sticky feeling behind nor is it super greasy. This serum’s purpose is to eliminate shine from enlarged pores and excessive sebum production but I haven’t actually put it on my face so I’m not too sure about it’s claim. I’m going to incorporate it into tonight’s regiment and give it a go.

Second up is Benton Snail Bee High Content Lotion!

This is also a pump style container but instead of glass like the Peach Sake it’s a really heavy plastic that speaks of durability. Coming out in an thick not-quite white it goes on rather smoothly and cooly. Instead of water, this product claims to use snail secretion filtrate, bee venom and EGF to rid your skin of all dirty stuff. It’s supposed to sooth, maintain moisture supply and improve skin tone, it’s a remover of wrinkles and a whitener. I was a bit nervous about the bee venom but after testing it on the top of my hand I can already tell the difference in elasticity and texture with little to no reaction. There is a bit of a tingle but not a bad tingle. So far so good!

Second picture is the samples I received for free. The lettuce and cucumber watery toner from Skin Food and the BB cream are new to the group so now I have to try those out when I have the time. Gosh, being a grown up is hard!  

MY MINI HAUL FROM BEAUTYNETKOREA IS HERE. I’M SO EXCITED.

Pics coming soon :3

btw, beautynetkorea.com has to be one of my favorite and beginner friendly Korean beauty websites. TBH it’s my first website but I’ve branched out a bit. I always check that website first because it’s so nice! User friendly and even has mini tutorials for each product. 

This stuff...this stuff is pretty cool. It’s for blackheads (duh) and it actually does a great job at getting rid of them too. It’s a three step process so max time is ermmmmm 7 minutes? I don’t count.

Step 1 is a gritty warming gel that opens up your pores and prepares them for Step 2 and all of it’s sticky-ness. Step 1 has a strong scent of lemongrass and something else. And as stated above, the texture is kinda gritty to the feel. You just gently rub this stuff where you need it and feel the magic. I like to wipe off the gritty stuff but hey, I never said I was an expert. 

Step 2 is a ooey gooey thick black mixture that you need quite a bit of. There’s not much of a scent on this stuff but you just glomp this stuff where you need it, making sure it was even and shit, and wait for it to dry. This is where my time counting skills get fuzzy because when I wait for this to dry, I’m usually playing Civilization V or League of Legends or just browsing the webz.

Step 3 is a nice, minty cooling serum that you put on after you peel off the now dry black mess you slathered on x minutes ago. Thankfully you don’t need a whole lot of this stuff but it’s very soothing to the now irritated skin. Just pat pat pat on where it needs to be and bam! Skin is silky smooth and blackheads gone!

Innisfree Canola Honey Cream.

Well loved and well used. This stuff is buttery soft, with a rich and fragrant honey and rose scent. You just need a teeny tiny bit of this stuff and it can nearly cover your whole face. I like to use this sparingly and since I still don’t have my entire arsenal of beauty products I’ve been using this as an under eye cream and for my problem spots. I just pat pat pat this under my eyes and gently massage along the bridge of my nose, my eyebrows and my apples.

There’s no sticky residue left behind from this, which is the biggest reason why I love all of my products. It’s almost like my skin is a dehydrated sponge and everything I put on it is like a revitalizing water that makes my skin plump and firm. I just wish I had enough money to give my entire body this kind of love and attention that it so richly deserves. 

All in all I adore this stuff but it is pretty spendy. This is almost a luxury item that I wish I could always afford. But alas, I am broke.

I’m BACK~!

So check this out, this stuff right here, is my FAVORITE. That’s right, my absolutely go-to stuff. I freaking just...HNNG.

This stuff is mind blowing. I seriously dig innisfree and their stuff and I love honey anything. Honey’s my thang.

This is innisfree’s trial kit for their canola honey. It’s great for dry symptoms and a great starter pack. Despite the size of the containers, they actually hold quite a bit of product and best part, you don’t need a whole lot! Each one of these dilly dallies is super rich and absolutely silky in texture. Don’t be fooled by the cream though, it’s only 10ml of product but HOLY CRAP. It took me a week and a half to go through the product that was stuck on the cap before I touched what was in the container. 

The only downside to this is the price of getting the full size containers. I think the serum alone is like $23 for maybe 50ml? I’m going off of memory here so there’s a huge chance I’m wrong. 

So first off I just want to say, I’m sorry. I started this blog with the intentions of doing it everyday and yet I didn’t do anything for a little bit now. There has been some...personal issues here at home that have been demanding my attention (and energy) and will continue to do so for a while. I don’t know when I can start being persistently active again but I will try to keep up with everything. So if I miss a day or so, just know that the real world needed me first. Sorry for letting you down :(

However I guess this is a good time then any to see if I can get a response back on a question.

What product do you guys want me to review? Or try?
