Getting brand starter kits in mini sizes is one of the best ways to experience a full lineup of products without spending a fortune. I’ve been getting to know Dr.Ceuracle throughout this year thanks to Oshen Skin, and when I saw their adorable starter kit I had to have it. I like taking things like this with me when I travel vs decanting my own items into travel bottles or having a million individual sample f

This is a sponsored post with affiliate links. All opinions are my own. I love a good sheet mask. It’s a wonderfully relaxing way to get extra nourishment and hydration while unwinding at the end of the day. Papa Recipe makes some of my favorite sheet masks, so I’m always happy to try more of them. Papa Recipe Bombee Honey Mask promises a youthful glow without a greasy / heavy feeling. Its hydrating formula with honey, propolis, licorice, panthenol, and other plant extracts a

Fall used to mean back to school, and then later back to university. But now that I'm an adult (at least age-wise), I realize that Fall is actually the best season. It’s finally cool enough to wear cozy long sleeves, take walks without sweating, and enjoy all things pumpkin, especially here in the

I was so used to the very short routines of the West - cleanse, then day cream or night cream. And yet there is something just for nights in Korean skincare - sleeping packs! And I really like trying new ones. One of my current sleeping packs is Papa Recipe Bombee Honey Sleeping Pack. It’s available on Oshen Ski

I get super excited about their new releases, because the chances of them working for my combination skin are pretty good. The latest addition to the Wishtrend family is By Wishtrend Pro-Biome Balance Cream. It’s available on Wishtrend and YesStyle (use reward code KBHOBBIT for extra savings). Oh, and wh

Stress, combined with all the other factors like wearing a mask, means a lot more breakouts for my combination skin. I like to keep calming products on hand at all times to quickly heal any problem areas. I have now had the pleasure of using several bottles of CosRx Full Fit Propolis Light Ampoule. It was gifted to me but is available for purchase on* Amazon, Jolse, iHer

But by now, it’s available on Wishtrend (code LUCY15), Amazon (code 20S9OV86 for 20% off until 11/23/21) , and YesStyle (reward code KBHOBBIT). In fact, I just started my second bottle of this wonderful ampoule. If you are a skincare enthusiast like myself, you know how rare it is to

I have a love-hate relationship with samples. On one hand, it’s fun to get a little free gift with purchase. On the other hand, they often tempt me into spending more money on full sized products that weren’t even on my radar before. This was exactly the case with the I’m From Honey Mask. After trying a sample, I had to have it! I’m From Honey Mask nourishes and soothes the skin and has an anti-inflammatory effect. I provide a full list of ingredients at the end of the review

I have combination skin which tends to get oily in the t-zone. For years, since I was a teenager, I fought the oiliness with everything I could - harsh facial cleansers, alcohol wipes (gasp! How do I even have skin still??), lots of powder and so on. I just didn’t know any better. Now that I’ve been out of high school for a little over a decade, I know better and do better. The best way to keep the oil under control has been to properly hydrate the skin, especially during the

My combination skin (oily t-zone, dry-to-normal cheeks) dries out like crazy during the cold seasons. And while it makes my already dry areas even more dry and flaky, the oily zones compensate but getting even oilier! I take Fall and Winter hydration very seriously. Many people with dry skin types have been raving about SCINIC Honey All In One Ampoule, available on eBay, Amazon and YesStyle, so I decided to try it.
