Laneige Eye Mask & Water Bank Moisture Cream Review

*Before I begin: Laneige is NOT a cruelty free brand— I was not aware of this before I purchased these products. Laneige is a Korean brand, so the laws and standards of skincare products are different than in the United States, in which they may be required by law to test on animals. I try my best to do my research, but I failed on this account. I wanted to make this clear. I was not aware that this brand may test on animals, but I will finish the products that I have and do not plan on repurchasing.* 

Laneige has been a favorite of mine— the Korean skincare that puts moisture, moisturizing, and nourishment above all else. Their Sleeping Mask and Lip Sleeping Mask are some of the best overnight products on the market. But I wanted to try more. Here’s the review. 

Laneige Eye Mask: An Allure Best of Beauty Award Winner, the leave-on eye mask is great for moisturizing and de-puffing. Very liquidly— feels like a serum. Ever since it’s gotten colder, I like to put an emolliant of some sort on top to keep the moisture in (think Weleda Skin Food). I adore the applicator— a little ceramic ball to massage the product into the undereyes or on the brow bone. I also really like the fact that I don’t need to constantly buy eye patches so I’m using one bottle instead of countless one-use packages. My eyes are moisturized and soothed, but to be honest, I wouldn’t buy this if you’re looking for a prodcut to get rid of dark undereyes or fine lines. Find it here. 

Laneige Water Bank Moisture Cream: (NOTE: The container look has been updated so it looks different than my picture— do not be alarmed!) So good. SO GOOD!!! I feel like I use the word smooth too much when I talk about skin care but DAMN SON!!! I feel like I’m a crusty baguette and this cream is an organic french butter gliding and melting on my dough-face. Essentially for any skin type, this formula is made with extracts from brussel sprouts, artichokes, and lima beans...so get your veggies through skincare I guess? I use this at night, but it would work for day and before makeup for a clean, saturated canvas. Find it here. 

The combination of these two products leaves the entirety of my face plumped and hydrated by the morning.

Products that fulfill the Scorpio in your chart

Products that fulfill the Scorpio in your chart As the end of Scorpio season nears (along with Mercury in retrograde— hold on y’all!)I've really been feeling out my Sun sign in dark, sultry looks with a focus on dark reds and black. Since Scorpio season is a time of transformation, I’ve responded with smudged berry lips and dark liner, but still retaining a bright apricot blush. I’ve also bought my first non-nude lip liner— yay! For lips: As I mentioned before, a dark lip in Scorpio season is the move— for many reasons. You can get away with just wearing a dark lip. Clean skin and a dark lip is the ultimate french girl aesthetic, easy but still alluring, just like those Scorpios ;). It can be worn in multiple ways— old school hollywood with clean lines and precision (Think Hedy Lamarr, Grace Kelly or Vivien Leigh— Scorpio icons). A bitten look, with color concentrated on the inside of the lip— reminiscent of the Halloween just passed...and maybe the Thanksgiving ahead? (“L...

Paula's Choice Review

Paula's Choice Review I have to start this review with praise of a person, not a brand. A couple of months ago, I found Sean Garette, an esethician from NYC with vast knoweledge on skincare and an impeccable Instagram aesethic— my kind of guy. Please follow him on Instagram @seangarrette if you aren’t already— your skin will thank you. Everything he touches turns to gold, and sells out as soon as he reccomends them. I was convinced to buy Krave Beauty because of him— read the review here — and I also found out about Paula’s Choice, a brand based on science and incredible formulas, all at a good price for what you’re getting. He also has an affiliate link with a 15% discount on his favorite products, which are some of the products in this review (at the time I purchased them— they may have changed the lineup). For that reason, I’m not putting links to the products because it would be better for you (and your wallet) to use Sean’s link. A good thing to mention: Sean and I bo...

Review: Glossier Balm Dotcom (Mango)

REVIEW:GLOSSIER BALM DOTCOM (MANGO)  Pop open the tube— and smell paradise. I was super excited when Glossier announced their newest flavor of b alm dotcom. I love ANYTHING mango flavored and EVERYTHING Glossier, so what could go wrong? Nothing, obviously. According to Glossier’s website , balm dotom is “ A hydrating, long-lasting, multipurpose lip balm and skin salve that’s packed with antioxidants and natural emollients to nourish and repair dry, chafed skin.” (Glossier) They’re not joking around either. The balm glides on and makes your lips instantly smoother. When I first got it, it was still a bit cold outside, and my lips were SUPER chapped. I put Mango to the test, and let me tell you, I’m not letting this man go (bad pun, sorry). Call this product crust-be-gone. One use, pea-sized amount, no exfoliation of the lips beforehand. The balm left my lips glossy and silky to the touch. While the balm is greatly layered over another product to keep moisture in, it...
