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 shape in my head months ago but refuses to pass into solid reality. But after cleansing (my face!) this morning, I found I couldn’t wait…

You ever have one of those moments where you realize you’ve neglected something that should have come naturally to you and you just feel like you’ve let yourself down in a huge and major way?

For a Taiwanese American sheet mask lover who’s been using Asian skincare almost exclusively for nearly two years now, I sure did take a long time to get into Taiwanese products.

I’ve never been particularly good at keeping up with trends. And that is not a hipster humblebrag. The truth is that I can barely dress myself, which is why I tend to stick to my basics and neutrals and classic styles. Harder to go wrong.

My days of wildly hauling huge quantities of unfamiliar products are mostly behind me, but every once in a while, the urge strikes and then things like this happen: I’m set for months for new products to test and have already tried a few of the many things I hauled. Some have been winners that I’ve already…

Post updated 9/15/16. Still in love with Mr. Rx. There is really no way to say this without sounding like a total weirdo, so I’m just going to be blunt with you guys: I’m in love with a cartoon character. Not just any cartoon character, but a cartoon character who’s not even my type. This…

9/2/16 update: In light of the sheet mask packing scandal that has been the talk of the AB community, I thought it’d be fun to feature some masks that aren’t affected. My Beauty Diary is a Taiwanese brand whose manufacturing processes are automated and controlled within the company’s factories, as you can see in this video…
