Sephora Chic Week Haul

Sephora recently had a Chic Week event! During these two weeks, you could enjoy 15% off! Since products at Sephora rarely goes on sale, I decided to take advantage of this event.

I purchased Nars Sheer Glow Foundation, The Body Shop Mango Body Scrub as well as some Clarisonic brush heads!

Etude House Wonder Pore Freshner

Toners are an essential part of my skin care routine. This Wonder Pore Freshner claims to have 7 benefits in one bottle! Mainly it is related to pore care and deep cleaning.

I decided to pick up the 500 ML bottle since it has a convient pump at the top! I do not regret my purchase one bit, since this toner is really amazing! Since using it, I've noticed smaller pores  because this toner keeps my pores really clean!




The liquid looks just like water. There's not strong scent; it smells a little bit like witch hazel.

Since this bottle is very big, it will most likely last me a full year!

Holika Holika Heart Ful Moisture Lipstick Candy Red

 Holika Holika is a beauty brand from South Korea. While it may not be as popular as Skin Food or The Face Shop, it is quickly becoming one of my favorite brands.

I've been on the hunt for a moisturizing red lipstick for awhile now. I was so happy when I found discovered the Holika Holika Heart Ful lipstick line.

As you can see, the lipstick bullet is carved into a heart shape! Not only is it super cute, but it's great because it makes the lipstick easy to apply.

Like the name states, it is very moisturizing  this lipstick does not emphasize my dry lips.

The color you see on the right is in the shade Candy Apple. It's the perfect pinky red, with not shimmers or frost.

Scent wise, it smells like delicious gummy candies!

MAC Lipsticks- Lovelorn & Lustering

MAC Lovelorn & Lustering

I never really had intentions to purchase MAC lipsticks ($15) but Youtube beauty gurus are pretty convincing. After much research, I setteled on the shades Lovelorn and Lustering.
Both are luster finishes, which means, according to MAC that it has a "wet-look lustre finish. Makes lips look soft, smooth, ultra-moist."

Lovelorn is a natural pink, which Lustering is a bright, but wearable hot pink. Both are nice since it brightens my complexion and does not emphasize my dry lips.

I'm very happy with my purchases! MAC's color selection can be overwhelming  so I recommend visiting a MAC store  & swatching the colors before buying any colors! Online color swatches can be deceiving, so it's best to be completely sure of the color before you spend your hard earned money!

Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel

This two step skincare product is great for those who want to pamper their skin without spending too much time! It has really transformed my skin and I see an immediate difference after one use!

The only downside is the price, but honestly it is worth it because it truly works!

Nature Republic AQUA Super Aqua Max Combination Watery Cream

I tend to change my skincare routine frequently, depending on the seasons and the condition of my skin.
Right now, I'm really enjoying Nature Republic's Watery Cream. It claims to contain natural ingredients that is beneficial for the skin.
The texture is amazing and very jelly-like. Since it is a gel, it's great for warmer weathers. It's so cooling and refreshing!
The packaging is a bit heavy, but it feels luxurious :) Not great for traveling, but it does look pretty!

I paid around $10 for this large bottle, which will last at least 3 months. Highly recommend ~

Anti-aging: Sunscreens

Every skin care company claims to have a miracle product that will let you become ageless. Honestly, it's a lie!
The best, as well as cheapest and most effective, potion to fight signs of aging: sun protection!

Here's some tips:
- Remember to apply a sufficient amount 15 minutes before going out
- Even if it's cloudy or raining, sun rays are still prevalent. Thus, always protect your skin
- Use a good amount of sunscreen; a droplet size will do no good.
- Don't forget to apply sun protection on your hands, ears and neck!

SCINIC Nutri-100 Hyaluronic Acid Solution Serum

Serums are a part of my essential skin care routine. Not only does it repair my skin from within, but it literally “feeds” my skin nutritious ingredients. 

SCINIC is a Korean brand. What I like most about this serum in particular is the fact that it is not sticky and it absorbs quickly into my skin. 

The texture is a bit thick, but watery. This one features hyaluronic acid, which is great for anti-aging and moisturizing. However, SCINIC makes other types of serums too!
