I’ve had a few bad reactions to products in my time as a K-beauty and skincare enthusiast, but never have I ever had a reaction as immediate and as bad […]

Debut Review: Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream

March 7, 2016by Jude Chao 13 Comments

I don’t generally participate in team kill reviews, where shops send a specific product out to a number of bloggers to deliberately generate hype. But I recently made an exception for Wishtrend, owner of the […]

Who else flings their empty skincare products into a drawer until it overflows before making a new #empties post? . #Sekkisei product provided by @k_beautywave. #Historyofwhoo product provided by @beautytapofficial. #Sooae product provided by @clubcliousa. . Empties for the past couple months: . 2 tubes of #Missha Safe Block Aqua Sun Gel (and if I'd waited another day, it would be 3 tubes). Both tubes cut open so I could get at every last drop. Already repurchased. . #Sulwhasoo Overnight Vitalizing Mask EX, also cut open so I could get at the very last of it. Definite repurchase. . #Thehistoryofwhoo In Yang Neck & Face Sleeping Repair sleeping pack. Will repurchase when the weather gets colder or my skin gets drier. . Soo Aee Freeset Donkey Milk 3D Moisture Cream. Yes of COURSE I'm going to get myself more. This stuff fixes up a damaged barrier like nothing else. I especially love it on my neck when I've forgotten that my neck hates tret. . Sekkisei Treatment Cleansing Oil. I liked this almost as much as the Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Oil and a little bit more than the Amorepacific Treatment Cleansing Oil! Medium thickness, great slip, does a good job removing makeup and sunscreen without running, emulsifies well, rinses clean. It's got a fragrance but not overwhelmingly so. . Mini of #Banilaco Miss Flower and Mr Honey Cream, OG version. Once I finish the other mini tub, I'll get the new version. . #Curology 0.07% tretinoin prescription. I have a constant supply and will be increasing the tret % soon. . #Thankyoufarmer Back to Iceland Cleansing Water. It's fine. It's cleansing water. Leaves a bit of sticky residue, but all cleansing waters do that for me. . #Muji cotton pads. These are my favorite cotton pads. @riovn knows the love of Japanese cotton pads--she's even written about them on @thestrategist! . I always feel a little lighter once I get the pile of empties photographed and then taken out to the recycling bin! . . . #skincareaddiction #beautyjunkie #skincareempties #skincarediary #koreanskincare #abskincare #jbeauty #abcommunity #rasianbeauty #beautyhoarder

Sexy Radish and I were having a blast answering your questions in my Q&A yesterday on my stories, but then PATERNALISTIC INSTAGRAM decided there is a limit to how many of my story posts you guys can stomach in one day and cut me off. So let's keep going here! Ask your questions for me (or the radish) in the comments, and if you asked something yesterday that I didn't get around to because IG cut me off, feel free to ask again here! I'll answer as many as I can in free moments today! . . . . #skinstagram #instaskincare #skincarequestions #qanda #kbeauty #abcommunity #rasianbeauty #skincarecommunity #skincareaddiction

Thinking ahead and taking advantage of daylight for once! Here's tonight's #skincareroutine. . #Holysnails products provided by my job @holysnails. #Wonjineffect product provided by @wonjineffect_global. #Goodal product provided by @clubcliousa. . Makeup/sunscreen removal: Quick swipe with #Nooni Snowflake Cleansing Water. I still have no feelings about this product whatsoever. It does the thing. The end. . Cleanser: Holy Snails Kadi Cleanser. This plus a konjac sponge gets my face clean and soft, no flakes and no dryness. I know Chel sent this for my son, but I get to use it too. . #Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum EX to maintain rosy glow. . #Naruko La Creme Face Renewal Miracle Essence for those brightening, smoothing, antioxidant rice ferments. . Goodal Waterest Lasting Water Oil to weightlessly fortify my skin barrier. . Holy Snails Great White, the Shark Sauce with 10% MAP vitamin C! I know MAP doesn't technically have a wait time like L-AA, but I still usually give it about 10 minutes to settle, just because. . #Hadalabo Gokujyun Premium Lotion for super hydration. . #Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence, because snail keeps my skin resilient and fast-healing. . Sheet mask: Wonjin Effect Medi Energy Infusion Concentrated Ampoule Mask. This is a super thin and comfortable mask that's somehow both drenched in essence yet totally non-drippy. No waterboarding. It's calming and contains ginger, licorice, sea water, peat water, and peptides. . Not pictured: The Cosrx snail cream that I use as eye cream. I forgot to bring it out. . Moisturizer: Sulwhasoo Timetreasure Renovating Emulsion EX, a most generous and undeserved gift from the lovely @fwetracy! I'm finally testing this out for real. It's rich enough for me to use as night moisturizer without feeling too heavy and smells like ginseng heaven. We'll see how much it can renovate over time. . Spring finally feels like it's here! . . . #skinstagram #instaskincare #skincarediary #skincareregime #pmskincare #antiaging #abcommunity #rasianbeauty #koreanskincare #abskincare #jbeauty #japaneseskincare #tbeauty #skincareaddict #beautyjunkie
