korean skincare – Trying to Glow

Glossier Cloud paints

Good morning bloggers! I originally posted this review on my Instagram a while ago, but now I feel I’ve had them long enough to give my full thoughts.

The Glossier Could Paints are easy to use cream blushes that blend out well with either your fingers or a beauty sponge. They deliver a very realistic flush to the cheeks, and the colours are just beautiful!

My biggest gripe with this product is the layering aspect. If you are wearing little to no base product, that’s the way to go. These will blend, and not conflict with any powders or contour colours you use afterwards. Whenever I have a full face of makeup on, which is most days, to be honest, these just don’t cut it.

Whatever contour or highlight I put on top or under these blushes become choppy and don’t blend well.

I absolutely LOVE these cloud paints on the natural days. The days where I’m brows, mascara, and balm. The days I want to look like I cared, but didn’t. I’m sure we can all agree, these are the best days. But for the average workday, or day/night out I want a little more coverage and a bit more blendability.

Foreo Luna 2

Time to get to know my love, the Foreo Luna 2.

I have had this cleansing tool for almost a year now. I did a lot of research prior to purchasing this baby, but in the end the near $200 price tag was well worth it!

It’s actually on sale right now on Amazon

I think the biggest reason I bought this particular tool was the ease of use, and low maintenance aspect. You never have to buy alternate brush heads, unlike other competitors like the Clarisonic. I have heard horror stories of consumers buying the Clarisonic, and not changing the brush heads, or worse! Not getting the right sensitivity brush for them, and breaking out like crazy.

This first time I used the Foreo Luna 2, I noticed immediate improvement in my skin texture. My skincare sank in like a dream, and the typical rough patches I was accustom to were gone. With daily use, this tool replaced any other physical exfoliator I had, and really turned my skin around. I cannot recommend it enough, and I hope you give it a try!

Do you use any type of cleansing tool?

Wash-off Mask love

This is the excerpt for your very first post.

Wash off masks are one of those things that never get old for me. I love walking around the house, scaring my husband and the cats, while fortifying my skin. Below are some of my faves!

Origins Clear Improvement Mask–This mask is an oldie, but a goodie. I am using up this sample size from Sephora right now, and im loving it. My skin doesn’t break out often, but when it does I know I can go to this mask. It’s not too drying, and washes off easily. I also use this as an overnight spot treatment for any stubborn blemishes on my face.

Skinfood Rice Mask–A great gentle exfoliator, and skin brightener. Rice is a natural ingredient that will brighten the skin, and help with texture. This mask is left on for 10 mins, and then as you wash it off, it exfoliates the skin, but leaves it feeling SO smooth to the touch.

Farmacy Honey Potion–An amazing antioxidant face mask packed with echinacea green envy. This ingredient brings impurities to the surface, and gently warms on contact. I love how this mask makes my skin feel the next day. This is a mask that doesn’t show immediate results, but with regular use, it makes your skin more hydrated, and clear.

GlamGlow Thirsty Mud–A classic hydrating mask that I use overnight to get rid of any dry patches. This mask also has natural exfoliating properties to really clear away dead skin, and hydrate the layers beneath.

What are your favorite wash off masks?
