TOCOBO Cotton Soft Sun Stick SPF50+ PA++++ Review

This post contains affiliate links. Product provided by Stylevana. Every so often, a product seems to permeate social media and show up everywhere - all over my IG feed, YouTube suggestions, and TikTok FYP. Tocobo Cotton Soft Sun Stick is one of those products. I saw it everywhere, received it as PR from Stylevana, and then won another one in a giveaway from StyleKorean / James Welsh. I couldn’t control my curiosity and started testing almost right away.

This post contains affiliate links. Product provided by Wishtrend. I’m From is one of my favorite brands, and I always keep an eye out for new launches. Not everyone is a winner, but most products work well for my combination skin. I had to try the new Mushroom Collagen Line - the ampoule and the cream. Originally, I thought about publishing just one article talking about both products. However, my experience with them is quite different, so I thought each deserves its own de

I’m From Rice Mask Review - NEW version

This post contains affiliate links. Product provided by Wishtrend. I wrote the original review for the I’m From Rice Mask almost exactly two years ago, in December of 2020. I liked the mask back then, and while the huge pieces of rice bran weren’t the most exciting feature of the product, they didn’t particularly bother me. However, many other users passionately hated that aspect of the mask, and I’m From listened to them. The I’m From Rice Mask was recently reformulated and

This post contains affiliate links. Product provided by Wishtrend. I’m From honey line has some of my all time favorite products - the honey wash off mask (review here) and the honey serum (review here). When the I’m From Honey Lip Balm came out, I resisted getting it for some time, but eventually gave in. My curiosity won. The product contains 10% honey from Mount Jiri in Korea and promises to moisturize and protect sensitive skin with a non-sticky, non-greasy finish. The ba

Sun protection is the most important part of any skincare routine - it prevents premature photo aging and cancer and can even help with the appearance of pores. I test as many sunscreens as I can in hopes of helping my readers find the perfect formula for them. For a list of the most highly recom

Haruharu WONDER Black Rice Bakuchiol Eye Cream Review

This post contains affiliate links. Product provided by YesStyle. If you are bored and want some cheap thrills, ask the skincare community if eye creams are necessary. The answers will range from “yes, absolutely” to “no, it’s a waste of money, just an overpriced face cream in a tiny jar”. For me, the subject isn’t so black and white. While basic face creams work just fine around the eyes, sometimes it’s nice to have a special formula that’s richer, thicker, or has different

I’m From Beet Refresh Pad Review

This post contains affiliate links. Product provided by Wishtrend. I usually have a tub of toner pads on my bathroom sink - I reach for them every morning to gently wipe off any skincare from the night before while hydrating the skin. It’s a very quick, easy start to my morning and takes even less effort than a water rinse (because with a water rinse, I have to make sure I don’t get my entire front wet). I’ve been using I’m From Beet Refresh Pads since before they officially

Klairs All-day Airy Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ was a much anticipated product since the previous version was pulled off the virtual shelves in 2021.

COSRX Pure Fit Cica Cleanser Review

This post contains affiliate links. Product provided by CosRx. Cleansing used to be a chore, a necessary evil that served one purpose only - to get the grime of the day off my face. But now, especially in the last two years or so, brands keep releasing wonderful, gentle cleansers, and I actually enjoy the process of face washing. It became a relaxing nightly ritual to end the work-filled part of my day. One of my favorite foaming cleansers of 2021/2022 is CosRx Pure Fit Cica

PURITO Hydrop Sweet Gel Mask Review

This is a sponsored post with affiliate links. All opinions are my own and honest. PURITO is an old favorite of mine - I still remember when they only had three serums in their lineup, with peel-off labels on the pump bottles. A lot has changed since then - the brand now has international celebrity status with a huge assortment of skincare. What hasn’t changed is my love for their effective formulas. PURITO recently released two new wash off masks. I already reviewed the clay

This is a sponsored post with affiliate links. All opinions are my own and honest. A lot has changed in my life in the last five years, but one thing hasn’t - there’s always a PURITO product (or two or three!) on my bathroom sink. I used PURITO long before I had my own blog or before they were an internationally recognized brand. I still remember when they only had three serums in their lineup.
