Too Cool for School Art Class by Rodin Shading & Highlighter Everyone seriously needs these two. And by everyone, I mean EVERYONE.

I’ve went through a several contouring products, and this is my FAVORITE by far, I’ve already went through two of them, and this was my third purchase! Because there’s three different shades in one palette, it’s nice for all four seasons! I not only use it to contour my chin and forehead, but I like to use the middle shade for contouring my nose also.

The highlighter, which is also a must have, is SO BEAUTIFULLY PIGMENTED.  It comes with a palette of three color combinations for THE PERFECT glow. The first two shades are lighter and can be used for a nose highlighter, while the darkest shade can help enhance your cheekbones!!

Skinfood Royal Honey Propolis Essence

Your skin will thank you for this product! I’ve already went through 3 bottles, and am on my 4th bottle. This boujee essence will help give an extra boost of hydration without any irritation or breakouts. Because it feels a bit sticky when it goes on, the feeling goes away after a few minutes, I normally use it before I go to sleep after I wash my face and tone it with toner. Although I like using  it year round, I definitely recommend this product to those who have really dry skin or get dry skin during the winter

Kanebo Suisai Beauty Clear Powder

Before I visited Japan, I was looking up skin products and I stumbled upon a blog post saying that this was a “must have”. I’m normally very picky when it comes to facial cleansers, especially because I have very sensitive skin, but after using one capsule, I fell in love with this powder. This clear powder is activated by water, gently exfoliates your skin, and is said to shrink the appearance of pores and removes excess sebum and dead skin cells without drying out the skin.

KAO Megurhythm Hot Steam Eye Mask – Rose Scent

I just finished using my first box, and I’m about to order my second. As someone who takes 30 mins to fall asleep and has eyes that get tired really easily, this is a must have. There are 4 options: unscented, lavender-sage aroma, chamomile – ginger aroma, and fresh rose aroma. Once you put it on like a normal sleeping mask, it starts releasing heat, and stays warm for about 20-30 minutes. The first time I used it, I was afraid that it would roast my eyes since it is named “Hot Steam Eye Mask”, but it was actually like having a warmth cloth on them. It was so relaxing for my eyes, and I felt like I was at a spa. The next morning my eyes were definitely less swollen / puffier. Such an amazing and innovative product, would definitely recommend for those who have puffy eyes or those who stare at their screens for too long.

Innisfree NO-SEBUM mineral powder

I first bought this because my friends in Korea were saying “every girl in Korea has this”. And now this has become my go to loose powder.  It’s very humid in Austin, plus I have oily skin so whenever I have makeup on, it starts melting off my face within a few hours.

However, this powder controls the secretion of sebum and keeps my skin soft (VERY SOFT) and fresh all day! Plus, it’s affordable so why not try it out?

Innisfree Super Volcanic Clay Mousse Mask

One fact about me is that I LOVE FACE MASKS. I’ve used so many different kinds of brands that I’m basically an expert by now, but this one is my favorite face mask so far. Once you spread the mousse onto your face, it immediately starts cooling your face and you can feel it tightening your skin. I’ve also noticed that after using this for a several weeks, my whiteheads and blackheads are basically gone. The fragrance of this mask is also so natural, refreshing, and purifying. However, it is hard to remove with cold water so always take it off with lukewarm water.

Lion Kyusoku Jikan Foot Patch

Do you work out a lot? Do you wear heels a lot? Are your calves constantly tired and achy? Then this product is for you!!!!!!!!!

I love sticking these patches  onto my calves after a bath, or before I go to bed when they feel heavy, swollen and tired. The patches contain a bit of menthol, so once stuck onto achy muscle groups, it feels so so nice and relaxing.

Heroine Make Eyelash Serum (left) & Heroine Make Smooth Liquid Eyeliner (right)

First of all, the packaging for the Eyelash Serum is SUPER cute. It’s simple yet elegant with the gold metallic writing on the navy blue tube. Though it’s a serum, it’s a light oil that has no weight on the lashes when applied. The serum coats the lashes, however, it doesn’t irritate the skin around the eye or the eye at all. I’ve been using it for a month now, and I can definitely notice that my lashes are longer, thicker, and stronger. A lot of people have been asking me if I have falsies on, even if I’m wearing only mascara.

The mascara, in a nutshell, applies very smoothly, dries quickly, and lasts all day on my eyelids but is very easy to remove. The tip is also so fine, it’s perfect for the perfect cat liner. Whenever I visit Korea, my sister always asks me to grab 3-4 of these for her. It’s that good.
