Sulwhasoo Innerise Complete Mask: The Sad Fiddy Review

August 7, 2016by Jude Chao 2 Comments

I distinctly remember telling someone, not too long ago and somewhere public, that I hadn’t yet found a Sulwhasoo product I didn’t like. Well. Joke’s on me, because now I have. […]

Selfies because my new Urban Decay Naked 3 palette makes makeup fun again! I need a lot more practice because I'm really not used to actual high quality ~buttery and pigmented~ (@fanserviced) eyeshadow, but tbh even this first attempt is better than the best I could ever do with the Naked 3 drugstore knockoff that I was using before. . Product list! . #armanibeauty Face Fabric foundation (shade 2) down the middle of my face . #shuuemura Hard Formula brow pencil (Stone Gray) + #Glossier Boy Brow (black, I think? Can't find shade name on the tube) . #Etudehouse Proof 10 Eye Primer + Naked 3 palette (Limit, Buzz, and Mugshot) . Classic style lash extensions because I hate curling lashes and applying mascara . #Sulwhasoo Radiance Blusher (Pink Harmony; PR sample from @sulwhasoo.us) . Mamonde Creamy Tint Color Balm Light (No.7 Baby Burgundy) . Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Microfinishing Loose Powder (deluxe sample in my Sephora package) . Swipe for slightly different facial expression.

Creating a sale on @beautytapofficial can be hard work, especially when you have to change the prices on each of the 90 items you want to discount (and each option of each of the multi-option items) individually. . But I inhaled some caffeine and did it anyway. The #Beautytap Memorial Day weekend sale is now live! It's sheet masks and #hanbang because my career goal is apparently to spread the #sheetmask and hanbang love. Discounts include: . 50% off of a variety of #sheetmasks. I picked the best selling masks from #EtudeHouse, #Innisfree, #Moksha, and newer brand #DrGloderm. I also applied the 50% off to masks from our exclusive brands like Swanicoco and Eclado and to our newly uploaded brands like #KeepCool. . Cat ear headband and silicone sheet mask cover to accessorize your #masking. . BUT WAIT! There's more! . I also took 22% off of all #skincare and makeup from #Sulwhasoo, including the newest releases. . I'm going to be up late working tonight, so I'll do a double mask session to start the weekend. I'll use the Keep Cool and Ocean hydrating mask followed by the plumping and moisturizing Innisfree camellia Second Skin Oil Serum Mask. Then some of my Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Emulsion to finish it off. . Link to sale is in my bio. . I hope everyone has a relaxing long weekend! . #kbeauty #rasianbeauty #abcommunity #beautydeals #beautysale

Last night's post-cleanse #skincareroutine, in which old favorites make a return while new contenders march towards the review stage. . #Sulwhasoo eye serum provided by @sulwhasoo.us. #Sum37 product provided by my job @beautytapofficial. Dr.Frog and 23 Years Old products provided by @k_beautywave for @dr.frog_official and @23yearsold_usa. . #Cosrx BHA Blackhead Power Liquid on nose only. I find my pores need extra help as the weather warms up. . #Curology 0.07% tretinoin/5% azelaic acid/4% niacinamide #antiaging prescription . Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum EX for glow . #EarthsRecipe Energy Boosting Toner--I'm subbing this in for the Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Water that I'm testing, to compare the performance of the two hydrating toners. . Dr.Frog Aqua Ceramide Essential Ampoule. After some experimentation, I'm 99% convinced this barrier-supporting moisturizing serum does give me that amazingly buttery-feeling skin in the morning. For me, that makes it worth the somewhat strong fragrance. . Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence for smoothness and resilience. . 23 Years Old Black Cavidiol Mask. It made me look like an eldritch monstrosity when I had it on and like a very well hydrated human with calmer skin and a matte finish when I took it off. The effects of this brand's Cocoon Willow Silky Mask are more remarkable, but I was happy with the Black Cavidiol too. I did end up cutting a mouth slit into it so that I could have a beverage and use my vape. . Sulwhasoo Snowise Brightening Eye Serum to maintain firmness in the eye area, particularly on upper eyelids. . Su:m37 Secret Repair Concentrated Eye Cream to deeply moisturize and smooth out eye skin, particularly under eyes. . Cosrx Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream--I wanted something quite simple and lightweight for my final layer tonight, again for comparison purposes. . The snail brooch and little Sumikko Gurashi cat are presents from awesome friends! . I wish my #skincare were more color coordinated for prettier pictures 😐 . #kbeauty #luxurybeauty #instaskincare
