REVIEW: It's SKIN dear my MUSE Velvet Powder SPF 15

Product provided for review by Q-Depot

It's SKIN Dear My Muse Velvet Powder SPF 15 is a sheer, oil-controlling loose powder make-up product.  The colour I've had the chance to try out is 02 Pink Beige, however, I won't focus on the shades available (there are two) since there is not enough colour in the powder to make much of a difference. Instead, I will include some samples of the two shades below (courtesy of Q-Depot):

This is a fast-absorbing vitamin C face oil/serum from Klairs called the Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop which helps to brighten your skin tone, reduce the signs of ageing, and fade dark pigmentation.  I've been using it for a few months already and I'm about 75% through the bottle (it comes in a clear, dropper style glass container).

REVIEW: Kose Medicated Sekkisei Sun Protect Gel Essence SPF 50+ PA++++

Summer is well underway...which means it's time to slap on the sunscreen nice and thick and look pasty white, right?! Ok, definitely no to that, but applying sunscreen liberally and often WILL reduce your chances of UVB/UVA damage under the summer sun.  But really who can apply sunscreen often when they have make up on? Not me that's for sure, so I try to start off with a really good, really stable sunscreen underneath my make up. This is where Kose's Medicated Sekkisei Sun Protect Gel Essence with SPF 50+ and PA ++++ comes in.

REVIEW: Style Nanda 3CE Back to Baby BB Cream

The first time I purchased this product, I was shopping with a bunch of girl friends at the 3CE store in Seoul, Mapo-gu, Hong-dae.  I know what you're thinking...how big was my haul?! Quite honestly, I wish I could've walked away with half the store since 3CE has some really great make up products....but I ended up restraining myself *pats self on back*.  I really had to control myself even though I'm not a huge makeup girl....although that's not to say I don't absolutely ADORE/OBSESSIVELY buy foundations and powders because I really do....😆😆 Currently, I have five foundations I use regularly and which I keep in rotation (two of which are 3CE), while many dozens more sit in storage aka the blackhole of my makeup bag/bathroom drawers 😅😅

REVIEW: Skin Again AHA Exfoliating Cleanser

**Product Offered by Brand for Review**

When I started using this cleanser in early May, my skin was going through a rough patch – literally.  I wasn’t doing a great job of taking care of my skin as the seasons were changing from cool to warm to HOT!! On top of that, I was skipping my regular tretinoin (a class of retinoids manufactured by the Retin-A brand) so my pores were feeling…quite bumpy and my skin was feeling congested.

Just one of the many products I reviewed for this post... keep reading for the detailed breakdowns!

Hair care often gets over looked in favour of skin care, but did you know that up to 40% of hair loss sufferers are WOMEN? Gradual hair thinning/loss isn't just a problem that affects men, it affects everyone especially as we age 😫. The difference though is that women are often overlooked by hair care companies, skin specialists, and physicians alike when it comes to hair thinning.
