Today is the day I finally do an update on 'Missha's 7 Days Coloring Hair Treatment'! To recap what this product is, it's a 7 day wash out hair dye that comes in 6 colors, you leave it on for a while, wash off, and boom! Beautiful hair! But how long did it last for me?? If you haven't seen my video yet click here! Since I don't wash my hair daily (probably every 3 days) the color lasted for quite some time! I noticed after the third wash no more pink dye was being rinsed out, but my hair was still staining my towel. This isn't a big deal if you use a hair wrap towel like I do, since no one looks inside the towel. My hair started looking dull around the 4th wash, but you could still tell there was some type of reddish pink dye left in my hair, it wasn't until the 8th or 9th wash when I realized the dye was completely out of my hair and not staining my towel. But it did stain my hair to an orange red, my hair was a orange caramel (not the kpop g...

  Nothing sucks more than waking up and finding a huge blemish on your face! I always get tons of compliments on how clear my skin is, but when it does breakout I kinda feel like a completely different person. Today I'm going to share some of my tips on how I keep my skin clear, and what I do when a pesky blemish pops up!   I added a bonus tip to this list because I couldn't leave out one good tip! 1. Wash your face with warm to hot water, and when rinsing use cold water; This helps open the pores and get all of that gunk/ dirt out that causes breakouts, then the cold water closes it. 2. Using products that are formulated without Parabens, Sulfates,Phthalates, and fragrances!  These ingredients will cause breakouts and damage your skin over time, products without fragrance are sometimes hard to find but worth it! 3. FACE MASKS  😍 You can use sheet masks, peel off masks, sleeping masks, or wash off masks... there's a ton! Using these can help by provi...

I've decided to make videos that compile Korean sheets masks into one video, this way you guys can get more information in one place! Usually I buy a bunch of the same sheet mask and multiple masks from the same brand, so I have a lot of experience with masks and decided to throw in my two cents! Masks that aren't in a sheet form or sheet masks with multiple steps will not be included in this series, but have its own dedicated video/post for it. If you are interested in any brands or specific masks let me know and I will try and purchase them! Here are the masks that I reviewed today! (All links are NOT affiliated, everything was purchased by myself or my lovely boyfriend 😊 ) Etude House Collagen Eye Patch  Holika Holika Aloe Gel Gelee Mask Innisfree Cucumber Mask SHINGMULNARA Charcoal Mask

 Tonight I tried out the 'Lindsay Modeling Mask: Cool', and I have to say, I'm not impressed at all. Below I will link my YouTube video of me trying this for the first time (resulting aren't good!). In my video I briefly explain about what this product is suppose to do, but in short; This is a rubber mask that is suppose to shape to your face and provide your skin with nutrients and moisture. This is NOT my first modeling/rubber mask, I have tried several of these! Some you add water like this one, and some provide a liquid to add in. I mixed this product with the correct amount of water, and 30 seconds later I can tell it was thickening fast in it's container! So I quickly tried to apply this to my face, but as you can see in the video it was just too thick at that point! While this product isn't expensive, I would say it was a waste of money! Why buy something at any price and not be able to use all of the product, or even use it correctly? I...

Check out my Korean beauty haul! xoxo- Riah

After seeing a few videos on this product I immediately wanted to pick up this and try it for myself! Living in Korea and being around a surplus of roadside shops, and specialty beauty stores I thought this product would be easy to find! Welllll it wasn't, my boyfriend actually had to order this online for me and he gave it to me as a little surprise gift after searching more than 5 stores here! AT LAST IT IS MINE! Product Info: The Elizavecca Milky Piggy Hell Pore Clean Up Mask  (say that 3 times fast!), is a wet to dry peel off mask that de-gunks your pores, and removes pesky whiteheads, blackheads, and dead skin cells. This mask is formulated with three main ingredients,  Charcoal Powder, Camellia Japonica Flower Extract.  To use this product just spread out a thin amount all over your face and wait 15 minutes or until fully dry, and peel! My Thoughts: When I first squeezed out this mask I thought it would have a slightly thicker consistency, but it's...

Description:  A cushion concealer that provides a naturally flawless finish, in several shades & color correction. SPF 30; 6 shades (2 color correction, brighter, and 3 skin tone). How To Use:  Click the pen until product starts to appear (TONS of clicks for me), apply the skin tone concealer under eyes, and any trouble spots.  Product Photos (My Thoughts Below) My Thoughts:  The 'Etude House Big Cover Concealer Cushion' retails for around $10USD, and comes with 5grams of product. When I first used this product I thought of two things before apply, "Wow you gotta click this pen a lot!" and "THAT IS A FLORAL SCENT!", while the amount of clicks to begin the product isn't a big deal, the fragrance maybe a big deal for some! Usually I'm not scent sensitive but this product has such a strong scent, thankfully on the skin you really can't smell it after a minute or so.  Now onto the shade choices and coverage! In t...

Product: The A'Pieu Aqua Peeling Cotton Swab, is an oversized swab that gently exfoliates the skin, to remove dead skin cells, and create softer skin. How To Use:  After cleansing your skin swipe the swab going from the inner side of your face outwards (nose to cheek), avoid the eye and mouth area. Do not rinse, and in the morning apply sunscreen! My Thoughts:     This is a quick, simple, and nonabrasive way to exfoliate your skin; it's inexpensive, and travel friendly! Exfoliation is key to having smooth soft skin, and essential when wearing makeup; your makeup will go on like a dream with exfoliated and well moisturized skin.     The product does not have a strong smell, or identifiable odor when used on the skin; it dries fast without a tight- pulling feeling. The swab is user friendly, and takes less than a minute to use.    After waking up I noticed my skin felt and looked softer, no longer did i have any little tiny rough p...
