Greetings, my friends! Bottom Line -  I don't think I'll buy it, but I will say that it hydrates your skin very well when you're not already wearing cream-based products. Tatcha: Tatcha is an American beauty company founded by CEO Victoria Tsai in 2009. Their skincare products are rooted in geisha beauty practices and focus on powerful natural ingredients, such as abaca leaf, green tea, seaweed, red algae, oatmeal, rice bran, and Japanese wild roses. Tatcha employs scientists in both the US and Japan to create products from scratch using these ingredients, which led to the foundation of their products - Hadasei-3™, a trinity of anti-aging superfoods born from the Japanese diet, and the basis for the original geisha beauty rituals: green tea, rice and algae. Every ingredient is carefully selected and minimally manipulated to be gentle and safe with maximum effectiveness.  In short - their principle is quality products that focus on less...

Greetings, my friends! Bottom Line - I buy these in bulk because they are amazing! I can't recommend these enough. COSRX : Per SokoGlam.com,  COSRX incorporates effective ingredients such as snail mucin, yeast ferment, and skin-renewing chemical exfoliants to transform your skin. The moment your skin meets COSRX, you can expect more tomorrow. COSRX's Acne Pimple Master Patch: These are incredible! These are my secret go-to pimple solution! Basically this is a sticker acne treatment. You put these clear stickers (which come in different sizes) directly on your pimple and leave it on overnight (or you can use them during the day if you want).  What's amazing about this is when you wake up, you can actually see a little white residue on the sticker where the sticker pulled out your pimple's infection and/or pulled the infection to the surface so that it can be dealt with and treated.  Unlike topical creams, this sticks to your skin and doesn't rub off while y...

Greetings, my friends! Bottom Line  - this worked well, but not as well as other eye creams I've used. As such, I have no purchased another one. Dermalogica : Dermalogica is an American skincare company founded by Jane and Rey Wurwand in 1986. However, before the first Dermalogica products were made - in 1983, Jane, a U.K. trained skin therapist, opened "The International Dermal Institute" for licensed skin therapists to teach hands-on postgraduate level skincare training. Realizing there weren't products on the market which matched what she was teaching, Jane and Rey established Dermalogica. They decided they wanted a p roduct line free of common irritants and ingredients which they felt led to breakouts, such as lanolin, SD alcohol, mineral oil, artificial colors, and fragrances - and that's exactly what they ended up creating. Dermalogica Stress Positive Eye Lift: Note Bene: This is one of two products that Dermalogica sent me for free to try before it ...

Greetings, my friends! Bottom Line  - I will not repurchase this exfoliant again because I found it to be too harsh on my face. Tatcha: Tatcha is an American beauty company founded by CEO Victoria Tsai in 2009. Their skincare products are rooted in geisha beauty practices and focus on powerful natural ingredients, such as abaca leaf, green tea, seaweed, red algae, oatmeal, rice bran, and Japanese wild roses. Tatcha employs scientists in both the US and Japan to create products from scratch using these ingredients, which led to the foundation of their products - Hadasei-3™, a trinity of anti-aging superfoods born from the Japanese diet, and the basis for the original geisha beauty rituals: green tea, rice and algae. Every ingredient is carefully selected and minimally manipulated to be gentle and safe with maximum effectiveness.  In short - their principle is quality products that focus on less doing more.

Greetings, my friends! Bottom Line - I tried a lot of masks over the past few months, and I'd only definitely repurchase 15 masks.  Ultimately the ones I didn't like were either A) masks that didn't work or B) consisted of a gross thick gooey essence that felt terrible on my skin. In short, I didn't like the ACWELL, Benton, Enature, Klavuu, Leaders, Tony Moly, and Ultru masks. But I did love most of Manefit's, Missha's, most of Neogen's, and Skinfood's mask. ACWELL:   Per SokoGlam.com, ACWELL is a Korean beauty company that combines traditional Korean medicine with over 400 years of history with modern-day research to give you the best results. Natural herbs calm skin and address problems at their roots to restore skin back to health. ACWELL Honey Anti-Wrinkle Daanj Mask:  I'm torn on this one. I like the results, but I don't think I'll buy this again even though it only costs $2.50. I've tried a couple of these ki...

Greetings, my friends! Bottom Line  - my husband loves this daytime moisturizer and will buy it again once he runs out. Dermalogica : Dermalogica is an American skincare company founded by Jane and Rey Wurwand in 1986.

Greetings, my friends! Bottom Line - I will happily repurchase this mask and my hubby loves it too! Skinfood: Per SokoGlam.com,  SKINFOOD's philosophy is to create beauty products formulated with the extracts of the highest quality fruits and vegetables. Healthier skin starts with food. Rice Mask Wash Off: I'm not going to lie. I didn't have high hopes for this mask because I thought it might be too harsh for my skin, but this is awesome! This is so amazing in fact that my hubby stole it from me and added it to his skincare toolkit. This makes your skin incredibly soft and smooth. It also has a lovely light scent which is not overpowering. For me, the biggest take away was that I noticed it made my skin glow afterwards, but my husband noticed that his skin "felt like a baby's butt" after he used it. My only word of caution would be that  this shouldn't be used more than once a week to avoid causing damage as it is a physical exfoliator. Stats: ...
