I used to love this mask pack when I first started Asian beauty routine. This made my skin hydrated the next day but it wouldn't give me the chok chok glow I'm looking for from an overnight mask. Further on, I have tried many overnight masks from brands and I highly recommend the Laneige sleeping mask or the Sulwhasoo overnight mask if you're willing to splurge. Both deliver this glowing skin the next morning while hydrating your skin at night. Make sure you patch test before buying because everyone's skin is different. -

Beside having a cute character sheet mask, I think these masks mostly just make your skin hydrated. Nothing amazing after using them. I used a handful of them last year and I don't think their price justify their effectiveness. There are many masks out there with better pricepoint and effectiveness like from Leaders or Mediheal. I highly recommend checking them out as their ingredients lists are better than TFS masks. -

I used to use this when I first started using Asian beauty products and boy, little did I know about skincare. This cleanser is high fragrances and has a high ph level. The higher is your product's ph level, the dryer your skin becomes. When it's too alkaline, skin may even become sensitive or causes eczema. The ideal balance would be a ph level of 5.5. This cleanser made my skin so dry after each use that I thought it really cleansed my skin well. Nope it simply means it is not meant for my skin and I need to change cleanser. As a result, I used the rest of the cleanser as a travel body wash. My body seems to like it better than my face. -

Angelina Paris is known for their desserts in their cafe. It is the perfect place to have high tea with friends or your partner in Paris! One thing they are less known is their teas and I believe people should mention them more often! What is a high tea without tea and sweets right? This mint green tea reminds me very much of Moroccan mint green tea and I absolutely love the refreshing taste of it. For 12€, I think this is a steal because of its beautiful timeless packaging with quality leaves there. They definitely make great souvenir gifts for tourists as well! Highly recommending to check them out if you're in Paris! -

If you go to Paris you definitely have to go Angelina's cafe. There is ALWAYS a lineup in their locations especially the ones near the Louvre. I absolutely adore having high tea over there with friends and one thing I would buy to bring back home is their tea. I know they are more known for their sweets but I do enjoy trying new teas. They have a small selection of tea compared to TWG, Teavana or David's Tea but they have beautiful timeless tins and their tea leaves are very flavorful. They make great souvenirs for tourists as well and they are super affordable: 12€! This Earl Grey flavor is delightful with milk and sugar and I highly recommend trying that with their sweets or any sweets! -
Longchamp Le Pliage

I bought 3 of the large totes when I was working in Paris. I find them they are good size bags for work, school or even travel since you can fit a lot of things in it without losing the lust factor! I remember they were less than 100€ each before and now they sell them for 200$+ each in the Canadian market which is so crazy!! Now one of my totes have noticeable holes after 4 years (I don't baby my bags), I plan to go to the flagship store to have my bag fixed. They don't charge repair fees! I highly recommend this bag for girls on the go because they are hold up really well with time and they are waterproof! -

I know you need to drink at least 2L of water per day to stay hydrated and to have beautiful skin. However, not everyone like the plain taste of water. Some people add lemon, mint, or whatever floats your boat. I. on the other hand, LOVE this honey citron tea. They call it tea but you basically put a spoonful of the mixture in your cup and pour hot water in it. Many Koreans drink this religiously and I get why. I find it so refreshing that I brew 5-6 mason jars of it to drink during the week. There are many brands out there that sell this kind of drink and they taste all more or the less the same so do check this tea out if you're into lemon/honey flavors of drinks. -

I love this beauty store because they sell a few of my favorite cosmetic brands at affordable prices compared to its western competitors. They have stores across US and Canada. This chain store is under the parent company of Amore Pacific and they sell a wide range of skincare and makeup products. You can find brands like Laneige, IOPE, Mamonde, Sulwhasoo, etc there. I know Sephora sells Laneige and Nordstrom for Sulwhasoo but they have higher markup in their prices so I would definitely recommend checking Aritaum out if you are looking for these brands! -

I just tried this Bio Cel Cushion mask yesterday and I am in love with it. I had some unexpected skin redness so I decided to try this soothing sheet mask. Some of the key ingredients of this product would be propolis (one of my favorite ingredients and tea tree extract.
This product has so much essence in it but it's not the kind that drips down all over your face. I feel like this kind of essence sinks in your skin better. The sheet mask was a bit big for my face shape but nonetheless, the sheet quality was there because of its smoothness. I did not any reaction post sheet masking because this has a low traces of alcohol content. Aritaum's other sheet mask line, Fresh Power Essence, has a higher alcohol content. I would definitely recommend this mask to any sheet mask fans out there! Make sure you put it in the fridge prior to use for extra cooling effect!

I am definitely guilty of wasting A LOT OF HOURS in watching Asian dramas and Drama Fever definitely made it even easier to access them. You don't need to be a premium user to use this outlet but I am a premium subscriber and I don't regret it at all. I have access to my favorite dramas on the spot either on computer or on my smart TV. You don't need to understand the home languages used in these dramas because there are subtitles! English, Spanish and even Portuguese even if my memory is correct. -
