Papa Recipe 2 Step Skin Cleaning Solution Review, Volume 1: Surprise Obsession

February 17, 2016by Jude Chao 9 Comments

I wasn’t planning to write this review today (or anytime soon, really). For the last five nights, I’ve been sweatily grunting and straining to push out a big, difficult post that took […]

Ranty new blog post is up! Today's post explains in more detail than I could fit into an Instagram caption why the "10 Step Routine" is a marketing myth and why it's a really bad idea to throw an entire new skincare routine onto your face at once. You can read it over on my blog. . These are sea lions having a relaxing afternoon. The last time I was out on the water, one of them took a terrifyingly long poo in full view of the boat while the other ones threw their heads back and cackled loudly. I think it was trying to send us a message. . #sealions #ocean #wildlife

Empties, but first a quick moan: Why the FARK is it raining AGAIN?! . #Sum37 product provided by @beautytapofficial. #Linhart product provided by @linhart.nyc. . #Apieu Pure Block Daily Sun Cream: One of my ride or die daily use #sunscreens, this one is creamy and emollient enough for me to skip moisturizer underneath. Super smooth and moderately glowy finish with no white cast. . A'Pieu Power Block Daily Sun Cream: Slightly higher SPF and more UVA protection than the Pure Block, water resistant with no white cast, but heavier and more perfumey than the Pure Block. I wouldn't get it again. . Su:m37 Secret Repair Concentrated Eye Cream: I did really like this. It moisturized and smoothed my eye area beautifully. But this #eyecream is way more expensive than the Cosrx snail cream that I'm using and loving so much now. I won't be getting this again. . #Seantree Hyaluron Ampoule 100: I liked this. Very plain and simple hydrating product. I appreciate that it's in a bigger bottle than most serums. But the size, economy, and effects don't compare to the Hada Labo Premium Lotion! . #Holysnails Hanbang Shark and Honey Shark #saucedumois minis. Originally purchased for colleagues, but I kept forgetting to bring them and then had a #Sharksauce emergency, so I used them up. I love them and now I work for @holysnails, because dreams do come true. . #Cosrx Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser: One of my favorite cheap cleansers. I'll get more sometime. . Linhart Fluoride Toothpaste: I have actual feelings about this toothpaste. I really really liked it, especially combined with the Linhart peroxide whitening drops. If you scroll down in my feed, you'll find a review on my most recent selfie! . . . #empties #emptiesreview #kbeauty #koreanskincare #uvprotection #sunprotection #indiebeauty #budgetskincare #luxuryskincare #abcommunity #rasianbeauty #skincarecommunity #abskincare

Another new blog post! The longer I use #kbeauty and #abskincare in general, the less impressed I am by all things shiny and new. This post is a love letter to seven Korean and Japanese skincare products that have stood the test of time for me. Find the link in my bio! . . . . . #koreanbeauty #koreanskincare #jbeauty #japaneseskincare #skincareblogger #skincarecommunity #abcommunity #rasianbeauty #budgetskincare #luxuryskincare #skincarefaves #holygrails #hadalabo #cosrx #sulwhasoo #goodal
