I tried this product from the Khiels' midnight recovery gift set that I bought. I just finished using the bottle yesterday and I can contest this thing makes my skin so smooth the next morning. I can honestly see myself repurchasing this but I just bought a bottle of Estee Lauder's ANR serum recently. In terms of pricing, Khiels' is definitely in the more affordable side for serums. -

With the use of charcoal powder and natural clay, Neogence's Deep Pore Cleansing Mask washes your pores in minutes. At first, you will see a dark grey color when you apply on your skin. As it dries out, the mask turns fully into a lighter color, which means you can wash it off. If you have excess sebum, or blackheads, you will notice the mask will suck up the excess sebum and reduce blackheads as well. I think this mask can be comparable to Origins' charcoal mask but for the fraction of its price. I normally use this mask in the weekend following by a moisturizer mask. -

I'm a fan of YSL lip products and this one did not disappoint. I have the Cherry my Cherie which is Number 5 from the collection. It's a very moisturizing lip tint with a hint of stain and yet, not sticky at all! I used to hate lip gloss due to the sticky aspect of them but this is the only one changed my opinion on lip gloss. I prefer stain/tint lip products over lipsticks because it's not drying and less of a hassle to apply on the lips. If you are looking for a high color pay off lip gloss, this is not for you. -
Yves Saint Laurent Volupte Sheer Candy
Another favorite line from YSL for me! I bought #6 (Luscious Cherry), #10 (Tangy Mandarine) and #12 (Tasty Raspberry) in Paris. I tend to grab them more because it's like a lip balm with a hint of subtle color. Among those three, Luscious Cherry is... +
Another favorite line from YSL for me! I bought #6 (Luscious Cherry), #10 (Tangy Mandarine) and #12 (Tasty Raspberry) in Paris. I tend to grab them more because it's like a lip balm with a hint of subtle color. Among those three, Luscious Cherry is my favorite because its a cherry red that I can apply without a mirror. Plus, it is in the moisturizing side that I don't mind reapplying when the color fades. I know it's a bit pricy for a colored lip balm but if I reach out for them on a daily basis versus a lipstick, then I believe it's worth it. Besides, you only have one pair of lips, so you technically don't need 20 lipsticks in your collection. A handful of them to match your mood and you're good to go! -
Yves Saint Laurent Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils Waterproof
I bought this for two of my girlfriends and they both liked it for the "faux cils" effect, meaning the false lashes effect in French. They said with time, it might dry out but if you add a drop or two of eye drop, the mascara will be good as new!

I have the #45 Rouge Tuxedo which is a cherry red color lipstick. Again, I normally don't go venture in lipsticks but this one is definitely a revolutionary one. It glides on your lips so smoothly due to its oil components. With one swipe, this lipstick will give you a hint of color. If you wish to have more color depth, you can add layers of it without drying or overdoing it. This lipstick gives color and moisturizing effect, what is there not to love? You definitely have to re-apply throughout the day which isn't an issue for me because it's so easy to re-apply. -

I tried so many sunscreens but they either dry me out or leave a white cast. This Dior one runs like an essence and it does not leave a white cast. I apply it before my moisturizer because I felt more comfortable with that combination than after moisturizer like your normally do with sunscreen. Sunscreen companies should definitely learn from Dior because it is the BEST of the BESTEST sunscreens I ever used. It is really expensive for such little bottle so I use it very efficiently... Hehehe -
Philosophy Purity Made Simple One-Step Facial Cleanser

Although Philosophy's Purity One Step Cleanser has a ph of 5.5, I still think the price for this product is too high for what it actually does. I only got mine from last year's Sephora Black Friday deal but honestly, it does not live up to the hype that the Internet brags about. Yes it is gentle on the skin but it does not really remove makeup as effective as you double cleanse with an oil cleanser and another cleanser of your choice. I had trouble finishing my bottle because I only use it when I am extremely tired and I need to remove sunscreen out of my face (and not makeup). I would really consider another cleanser if you are on the fence of buying this item. -

Unfortunately, this bb cream did not do justice to my skin. I at first got a reaction to it so I waited to recover before using it again to give it a second try. On my second try after 1.5 months later, my skin still doesn't like it. I try to aim for the natural glow kind of look but this bb cream gave me a matte dry finish. I do not have dry skin and yet it still made me skin very dry, which does not happen to me normally. I think this bb cream would be suitable for people with normal skin, not sensitive or dry skin. The coverage is the typical bb cream coverage, therefore not full coverage. -

As the name states, it is a deep cleansing black mask that also aims to brighten your skin. I personally don't go for gimmicky sheet masks but this was definitely a change of my routine. There is indeed a bubbling effect from the sheet mask, which is quite entertaining. As for its benefits, I only saw the moisturizing benefit. I always cleanse my face before applying any sheet masks so I guess I "double" cleansed when I used this. For the brightening effect, I believe you would need to do several times to see it from the mask. I only tried it once so I can't tell for sure. Will I purchase this myself? Probably not. There are better deep cleansing masks out there in my honest opinion. -
