  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...

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...

Mishibox.com , is a Korean beauty site that sells Korean beauty items, and also has a monthly beauty box!  The monthly beauty box comes with 5-6 deluxe size samples, or full- size products; also the box has a handy sheet that explains how to use all of the products, what they retail for, and if they're full size or not. This is my first time trying MishiBox and I absolutely love it so far! Each box costs $19.95, which is such a steal considering all of Julys products cost $42!  Here's what was in this months box! I will be doing a first impressions on this! LOOK OUT FOR IT :)  Not only does TonyMoly have cute packaging, but they also have great products! This hand butter spells exactly like mangos, not one of those cheap artificial smelling creams? It does a great job of moisturizing the hands, without it feeling sticky or wet. This sunscreen isn't greasy feelings, and it doesn't smell like your typical sunscreen; it has...
