    d'Alba First Spray Serum review
    Hello guys! I've used this for a month now and I've been liking it! I saw it first on YouTube and it was on my feed for while haha Here is how my skin is: • Dry-combo skin and it's been drier than before (main reason why I got to try this) • Have a few pimples every other then but am not struggling with acne • Not super sensitive It doesn't show in the picture, but it has oil layer and you have to shake the bottle before you use it! I love how it gives me the instant hydration especially because I feel dry during the day! It stays longer than normal water-based mists because of the oil in it. And I LOVED how the spray is! It's totally fine to use with make up, it's super fine that it won't ruin your make up. It hasn't caused me breakouts or hasn't gave me any irritation or redness. Anyone looking for facial mists that stays longer, here's yours! :)

    Laneige lip mask : honest opinion included
    So here are my two lip balms I'm using right now and it's been about 2 months since I used Laneige Lip Mask! I used to use Vaseline lip therapy and it's still one of my favs! Going back to main point, here are some pros and cons I've got: PROS - Aesthetic package - No strong artificial scent - Thick, hydrating CONS - A bit too greasy - Doesn't stay overnight (it is thick but it wipes off pretty easily bc it's greasy) - Not really suitable to wear under make up Compared to the one that I use before, it is thick and greasy but personally it didn't stay on my lip great overnight! Plus I couldn't wear any other lip product over it bc how thick the texture is! I loved it, but honestly- I would say it is overrated because of its look. Would recommend to try but I don't know I will repurchase it after finishing that.

    [K-Beauty Hidden Gems I Wish I Knew Sooner (Patch Edition) — Part 1]
    So I somehow ended up blowing my paycheck on “barrier repair” skincare again... But honestly? No regrets. My skin is sensitive, dehydrated, and prone to randomly breaking out whenever I dare to exist. I thought I’d never escape the cycle of redness and irritation, but these products lowkey changed the game for me. ┗( T﹏T )┛ ★ Abib Collagen Eye Patch Bro, this patch feels like a glass of water for my under eyes. The hydrogel texture stays put (no awkward sliding down your face), and after 10 minutes, I legit look like I got 8 hours of sleep. My fine lines? Blurred. My dark circles? Lightened. I'm already bulk-buying this. ★ Manyo Pure Cleansing Oil I get the hype now. This stuff melts off sunscreen and makeup like butter, but somehow calms down redness at the same time?? Doesn't clog pores, doesn't sting my eyes. Just pure, effortless cleansing. Plus, my skin feels soft after rinsing, not stripped. This is now my holy grail. ★ Mediheal Madecassoside Cream Literally S-tier for sensitive skin. It’s lightweight but crazy soothing. Whenever my skin is irritated, I slap this on and the redness calms down overnight. No greasy finish, no weird film. Just pure Centella magic. My skin barrier is healing, and I’m crying. (´;ω;`) ★ Medicube Cica Pad This one actually surprised me. The pad itself is super soft (not scratchy like others), and the essence inside is so calming and hydrating. I use this in the morning to soothe redness and prep my skin for makeup. It also gently exfoliates without making me peel. ★ Torriden Solid In Ceramide Lip Mask Why did no one tell me this is a dupe for the Laneige lip mask but better?? Thick but not sticky, super nourishing, and my lips stay hydrated for HOURS. Been using this every night and my lips haven't cracked once. I'm obsessed. ★★★ Pro Tip ★★★ If your skin barrier is wrecked, try this combo: 1️⃣ Medicube Cica Pad to calm and prep 2️⃣ Mediheal Madecassoside Cream to lock in moisture Your redness will disappear within days. (¬‿¬) This is only Part 1. I’ve got more hidden gems coming in the next post... some of them are ✨ actually insane ✨

    My Honest, Self Purchased Review დ 4
    The Miracle Recovery Serum My Skin Needed After a Total Barrier Breakdown And by destroyed, I mean full-on, Sahara desert levels of dryness, irritation, and flakiness. How did I manage this? Well, I was working as a skin model for a beauty certification class, and the trainee was... a little overzealous. They had me go through four rounds of exfoliation in a single day, followed by aggressively rubbing my face dry with a rough towel. Let’s just say my skin was NOT happy. By the time I got home, my face felt like it was on fire. Every single product I owned stung like hell, even the ones that were supposedly “gentle.” My usual moisturizer? Burned. My hydrating toner? Felt like rubbing alcohol. Even splashing water on my face made it feel worse. My skin was red, irritated, and so tight that smiling actually hurt. At this point, I knew my skin barrier was absolutely wrecked. I needed something to help me recover ASAP, so I went into full damage-control mode. That’s when I remembered a product I had seen recommended before: the Damask Rose Niacinamide 20% Serum. I had heard whispers of this product in the skincare community—people swearing it was a miracle for compromised skin. And let me tell you, they were NOT lying. I slathered it on that night, praying for some relief, and the next morning, I noticed an immediate difference. First off, the texture of this serum is absolute perfection for damaged skin. It’s lightweight but nourishing, and it absorbs beautifully without leaving a sticky film. The moment I applied it, my skin finally felt soothed. No burning, no stinging—just pure, calming moisture. For the next three days, I completely simplified my routine. No actives, no fancy serums—just a gentle cleanser, thermal water mist, and this serum. That’s it. And honestly? My skin bounced back shockingly fast. By the second day, the redness had gone down significantly. By day three, the dryness and flakiness had almost disappeared. And by the end of the week? My skin felt normal again. I don’t say this lightly, but this serum is now a HOLY GRAIL for me. If you’ve ever dealt with an over-exfoliation disaster, retinol burn, or just general skin barrier damage, you NEED this in your arsenal. Key reasons why I’m obsessed: ✔️ Zero irritation—literally the only product my skin could tolerate at its worst ✔️ Instantly calms redness and irritation ✔️ Lightweight yet nourishing texture that absorbs well ✔️ Actually restores the skin barrier within days Would I recommend this? A thousand times yes. If your skin barrier is screaming for help, this might just be your skin’s new best friend. Ingredients: Damask Rose Flower Water 64.5% + Niacinamide 20% + Glycerin 8% = 92.5% (Only ingredients with 1% or more content are disclosed) If you're interested, this serum has a much higher niacinamide concentration than most on the market (other brands usually contain anywhere from 300ppm to 1,000ppm or don't list it at all). At 20%, this product is packed with the active ingredient to deliver visible results, and it’s only 6,000 KRW. Honestly, this has completely changed my approach to post-skin barrier recovery—just simple, effective ingredients that get the job done.

    Too Cool for School Dusk Eyeliner: The Holy Grail for Soft, Natural Definition
    Introduction: My Search for the Perfect Soft Eyeliner Not sure which category this fits into, but I put a lot of effort into this lol. Eyeliner can totally change your whole face, so I think it kinda makes sense to put it here? Gonna edit the pics and add them in later! Hope this helps! As someone who loves a subtle, natural eyeliner look, finding the perfect formula has been a long journey. Many eyeliners are too harsh, too smudgy, or too difficult to control. But after testing countless options, I finally found a hidden gem: Too Cool for School Dusk. This eyeliner has completely changed my makeup routine, and in this detailed review, I’ll break down why it works, how it compares to Clio’s Vanilla Beige, and why you might want to add it to your collection. Packaging & First Impressions The Too Cool for School Dusk eyeliner comes in a sleek, minimalistic retractable pencil with a fine tip. It has a lightweight feel, and the twisting mechanism is smooth, allowing you to control how much product comes out easily. ✅ No need for a sharpener, which is a plus. ✅ Sturdy enough that I haven’t had issues with it breaking. ✅ Matte finish on the body makes it easy to grip. At first glance, the liner looks like a basic, neutral brown eyeliner, but once applied, you immediately notice the difference. Formula & Application: What Makes It Special? This eyeliner is specifically designed for soft definition, particularly for the outer corner of the eye to create a subtle, natural lift. ✨ Key Features: ✔️ Glides on effortlessly – No tugging or pulling on the delicate eye area. ✔️ Soft but buildable color – Looks natural but can be layered for slightly more definition. ✔️ Not too creamy, not too dry – A perfect balance that allows for precision but doesn’t smudge easily. ✔️ Doesn’t break easily – Unlike many retractable eyeliners, this one holds its shape well. The application is quick and foolproof, even for beginners. If you love the K-beauty style of soft eyeliner or the "invisible eyeliner" trend, this pencil makes it easy to achieve that look. Color & Finish: The Perfect Muted Brown One of the biggest selling points of this eyeliner is the unique shade. Dusk is a soft, muted brown—not too warm, not too cool. It enhances your natural features without looking harsh. The finish is matte, which adds to the seamless, natural look. Unlike traditional black eyeliners, which can look too intense for daytime or no-makeup makeup looks, Dusk provides just enough definition to make your eyes stand out without looking overdone. Longevity & Smudge Test One of my biggest concerns with eyeliners is staying power. I have oily eyelids, so a lot of eyeliners tend to smudge or fade throughout the day. × How Dusk Holds Up: ✅ 8+ hours of wear with minimal fading ✅ Doesn’t transfer to my upper lid (huge win!) ✅ No raccoon eyes by the end of the day ✅ Water-resistant but not fully waterproof * Pro Tip: If you have very oily eyelids, set it with a tiny bit of translucent powder or a matte eyeshadow in a similar shade to lock it in place even longer. Comparison: Too Cool for School Dusk vs. Clio Vanilla Beige Both Dusk and Clio Vanilla Beige are great choices for soft eyeliner, but they have some key differences. ✨ My Verdict? ✅ If you want an eyeliner that gives soft definition without harshness, Dusk is the winner. ✅ If you prefer something for aegyo-sal or a super subtle effect, Vanilla Beige is better suited. Who Should Buy This? This eyeliner is perfect for you if: ✔️ You love natural, soft eye makeup looks. ✔️ You struggle with harsh black eyeliners looking too intense. ✔️ You want a foolproof, everyday eyeliner that doesn’t smudge. ✔️ You prefer a product that’s easy to control and apply. ❌ If you love thick, bold eyeliner or need something ultra-waterproof, this might not be your best choice. But for day-to-day wear, it’s a must-have. Final Thoughts: Worth the Hype? Absolutely. Too Cool for School Dusk is one of those underrated gems that deserves more attention. It’s effortless, beginner-friendly, and perfect for anyone who wants soft definition without the commitment of a heavy liner. ???? Rating: 9.5/10 ???? ✔️ Beautiful color ✔️ Great longevity ✔️ Smooth, easy application ✔️ No smudging ❌ Not waterproof (but still lasts long) Would I repurchase? Absolutely. I’ve already stocked up on a backup. If you’re looking for a soft eyeliner that enhances your eyes without overpowering your look, give this one a try!

    Numbuzin No.3 Serum Review - with my honest opinion
    I got it on Amazon and it costed abt 19 dollars! I've never tried any product from Numbuzin but it popped on my feed when I opened amazon and reading reviews made me buy this haha Honestly at first, I was VERY disappointed and thought " of course I got fooled again " BUT!! Guys this is why you gotta be patient when you try new products;) I gave this kid another chance and started to use it again and now I love it! Texture: it's not as watery as the serum that I used to use, but it makes my skin a lot like mochi Pore & smoothing effects: I didn't really see dramatic difference with my pores, but it definitely helped smoothing my skin! They say it takes average 2 weeks so I guess I gotta see longer (it's been about 3 weeks) but I don't have huge expectation with pore haha Final Thoughts I would definitely recommend for those with dry skin & combo skin but I would not recommend it for oily skin & acne skin! It doesn't really calm ur skin but it focuses on Pore & smoothing (no point for acne) Also, it might feel too heavy for oily skin!

    Skinfood Carrot Carotene Calming Water Pad, Affordable & Reliable!
    Hi everyone! My skin has been extra sensitive lately, so I was looking for a gentle, hydrating calming pad—and I finally found one! After using it for about a month, I’m super happy with how it soothes my skin while keeping it moisturized. 1. Pad Design & Texture The moment I opened the lid, I noticed a light, fresh scent kind of like real carrot juice! It’s not artificial at all, just soft and natural, which made the experience even better. The pads are thin and super soft, so they don’t feel harsh on my skin at all. Plus, they’re soaked in essence, making them extra hydrating and easy to adhere to the skin. I like using them as a quick toner after cleansing, but I also place them on my cheeks, forehead, or chin like a mini mask when I need extra soothing. The pad size is generous, making them perfect for this! 2. Ingredients & Soothing Effects I noticed right away that this really helps calm irritated skin. Whenever my face feels congested from wearing makeup all day or when I’ve been out in the sun for too long, these pads help cool everything down instantly. I tend to get redness around my cheeks and jawline, and this pad noticeably soothes it. After using it consistently, my skin feels much less sensitive, which I love! 3. Hydration & Stickiness Since the essence is lightweight and water based, my skin feels hydrated but never sticky or heavy. Some calming pads either feel too sticky or end up making my skin feel dry, but this one strikes the perfect balance. It leaves just the right amount of moisture while still feeling fresh, so I never feel like I’m overdoing it. 4. Who Should Try It & Any Downsides? I’d recommend this to anyone with sensitive or irritated skin, or if you’re looking for a lightweight, refreshing calming pad. It’s especially great for summer when you want to cool down overheated skin or quickly calm redness. The only downside? The container is a bit bulky, so it’s not the most travel-friendly option. But for everyday use at home, it’s totally fine! Final Thoughts ✔ Pros: Effectively soothes skin, hydrates without feeling heavy, generously soaked pads✔ Cons: The jar is a bit big, so it might not be ideal for travel If you’re looking for a calming pad that gently soothes and hydrates sensitive skin, I highly recommend the Skinfood Carrot Carotene Calming Water Pad! I’ll definitely keep using it. ????

    Mediheal Tea Tree Square Pad Review
    A Korean friend recommended this to me, so I decided to give it a try. After using it myself, I have to say it’s really great for calming the skin. The pads are super thin, which makes them perfect to wear while drying my hair. There’s also a lot of essence in each pad, which I love. Plus, the packaging is actually pretty convenient! The outer plastic and the inner container are separate, so you can just take the inner part out if needed. I found that really useful. Now, onto the downsides this pad isn’t made of the usual cotton material. Instead, it has a raised diagonal pattern, and sometimes, you can see these little threads sticking out, which can be a bit annoying. Also, because the pads are square, the corners tend to lift off my skin and don’t stay in place for long. I guess it depends on your face shape and size, but personally, I prefer round pads since they stay on better. Overall, it’s worth trying once, but I didn’t find it that amazing, so I don’t really see myself repurchasing it.

    HINCE Second Skin Foundation, My Honest Review!
    Hi everyone! I’ve been using this foundation for a month now, and I love it so much that I had to write a review! I prefer a natural, skin-like finish, so I’ve tried tons of different foundations. This one is super lightweight, hydrating, and blends beautifully into the skin I’m obsessed! 1. Texture & Application The first thing that surprised me was how lightweight and fluid the formula is! It melts into the skin effortlessly, making it super easy to apply with just my fingers. If you use a sponge or brush, it blends even more seamlessly for a flawless, natural look. Since it applies so thinly, you can easily layer it to build the coverage you want, which I love! 2. Coverage & Finish This foundation doesn’t have super high coverage, but it gives the skin a gorgeous, natural glow. It makes my complexion look fresh and healthy without looking heavy or cakey. It lightly covers redness, acne marks, and dark circles, but if you need extra coverage, pairing it with a concealer would be a good idea. If you’re into that effortless, glowing skin look, this foundation is perfect! 3. Longevity & DarkeningAfter using it multiple times, I found the lasting power to be quite decent! Since it’s winter, I was worried about dryness, but this foundation kept my skin feeling comfortable all day. After a few hours, I did notice a bit of shine around my nose, but a quick blot with oil-absorbing paper fixed it right away. Also, there was no oxidation, so my skin tone stayed bright and fresh all day! 4. Shade Range The shade range is pretty impressive, so I think most people will find a good match. I picked a shade that blends naturally with my skin tone, and it looks seamless! 5. Who Should Try It & Any Downsides? I highly recommend this to anyone who loves a lightweight, natural-looking base! If you prefer a no-makeup makeup look or glowy skin, you’ll love this foundation. The downside? The coverage is more on the sheer-to-medium side, so if you need full coverage, you might find it lacking. Also, since the texture is quite fluid, it can be tricky to control the amount you use. A little tip: dispense a small amount on the back of your hand first before applying! Final Thoughts ✔ Pros: Beautiful natural glow, lightweight feel, great adherence to the skin, no oxidation✔ Cons: Medium coverage (not full), may require touch-ups for oily skin After a month of using it, I’m so happy with this foundation! It’s perfect for daily wear and gives such a fresh, effortless look. If you’re looking for a foundation that enhances your skin’s natural beauty, you need to try this one!

    Sunscreen I've Been Using for 3 Years
    Skin Type: Dry Skin I’ve repurchased the Round Lab Birch Juice Moisturizing Sunscreen multiple times, but I’ve never actually written a review—so I figured it’s about time! Since I have dry skin and often struggle with dehydration, I was looking for something hydrating yet lightweight enough to wear under makeup without any issues. I don’t quite remember where I first heard about this sunscreen, but I think it was from a YouTube channel that did a UV protection test (where they applied different sunscreens on a grid pattern on someone’s back). This one was ranked #1 for sun protection, so I immediately bought it. It’s not exactly cheap by my standards, but I felt like it was worth trying. I mean, if it provides great hydration and top-tier sun protection, how could someone—especially with oily skin—not want to try it? By the way, there’s also a tone-up version of this sunscreen, but it didn’t really work for me, so I’ve always stuck with the original blue version. Of course, I didn’t exclusively use Round Lab the whole time—I did try other sunscreens here and there. But in the end, I always found myself reaching for this one. It’s lightweight, hydrating, and honestly, I just didn’t see a reason to switch.
