Hello there! (If anyone is actually reading this lol)
I'm going to start by giving you a quick breakdown of how I began my "Omg lets take care of my skin!" journey.
I live in the Bay Area (California) and this winter, the weather change from hot to cold dried the hell out of my skin. I noticed more and more every day how tired and dull my skin was looking. I had to take off my makeup after wearing it for an hour because it emphasized my flaky, patchy, and rough looking skin. I knew I needed to hydrate it. And I had a couple of skincare stuff from Ole Henriksen that I was currently using. Although the products were not bad, they didn't really help with my dryness. Which put me on the path to trying some more prestige skincare. I hopped on QVC. I bought Tatcha next, which.. is a brand I still really like and the camellia beauty oil helped a lot in the hydration department. It wasn't enough to have the oil though. So I bought the hydration kit along with a mask from Peter Thomas Roth, an eye cream, moisturizing cream/night cream duo, more moisturizer. I went a little crazy considering the prices. Thank you QVC for easy pay. My skin was getting slightly better. Not as flaky, but still pretty dull.
I think it might have been a sleepless night on pinterest searching skincare where I discovered a pin on the "top korean beauty products you didn't know existed" which directed me to Amazon. And low and behold, I purchased a couple of products that were reccomended in the pin. Cleansing Oil, and Essence. The first item to arrive at my doorstep was actually Missha's Time Revolution First Treatment Essense Intensive. And oh boy, after two days of using it morning and night with my already have products.. I was hooked. Since then I have bought most of my stuff from Amazon (my cleansing oil I originally purchased first is still on its way from Korea :/) along with a couple other websites which I have found through youtube. I think my new favorite thing to watch on youtube is reviews on korean products, and my favorite person to watch is definitely Morgan from thebeautybreakdown.net (p.s. check her out!! I adore her lol)
Anyway, I know for me when I first began and I was thinking of buying a product, I would google search for reviews and try to read as many as I can to decide whether or not I really wanted to buy the product. Its the reason for why I have the beginning of my skincare wardrobe if you will. (With an exception to sheet masks. I bought one and now I'll buy any sheet mask because I want to try them all lol.)
So this is why I decided to start my very own blog for my own reviews. For the person who has pretty normal to dry skin that also wants to brighten their complexion and have a youthful glow, who isn't quite sure whether or not they want the specific item that might be lingering in their cart. I'm your gal :)
