1st skincare Routine

I usually don't have a skin care routine but recently started with one. I'm becoming more aware of the fact that I'm getting older day by day. During winter last year, I was constantly battling with dry skin. Even with moisturizer on at night, it doesn't help. My face was cakey whenever I put on foundation so finally, during Mother's day, I told hubby to only get me skincare product  and nothing else. He took me to Target and I got myself the Laneige toner, emusion, bb cushion, water sleeping mask, and the Olay facial brush.


So far, I love everything that I bought. I no longer battle with a flaky face whenever I put on foundation or bb cream except by my nose area. With using the facial brush, I kid you not, you will break out during the first two weeks. It's mainly because it's cleaning those dirt that are inside which are coming out. I would say for myself, that I don't breakout as often but it vary on each individual.





After using the items above for about 2 months now, my face definitely feels much smoother and more firmer than before. I'm happy with the result but am currently trying out different cleanser until I find the one that I like best.

Here are my review on the products that I've used:

* Laneige water sleeping mask
       It has made my face feel sooooo silky smooth the morning after using it. I feel refresh in the morning and do notice a difference. It's a must try out of all the product above shown if you don't want to spend on all of them. It's around $25 and I believed it was the cheapest one out of all the others.
       The container is plastic that feels really high quality. It's easy to open and close and comes with a little stick.

* Laneige Power Essential Skin Toner
      I bought the normal to dry skin since I have dry skin. I have never used toner before so I was afraid that it would be too harsh on my face but so far, I have not break out or anything. It does help take off extra makeups that are left from cleansing my face. It doesn't burn or dried out my face.

      The container is plastic that feels really high quality. All you do is twist the top to open it.

* Laneige Perfect Renew Emulsion
        The one I got was for all skin type. I wasn't too sure what Emulsion is but after reading what's it for on the Laneige facebook page, it's a light moisturizer. I use it after cleansing my face during the morning. I used to use it during the night after using the toner but I'm now using a Roc night cream since I'm starting to be aware that I now have wrinkle (crows feet).

    The container is made out of glass. There's a cap on it that you can just pull it off and just pump out the moisturizer.

* Laneige BB Cushion
     I got myself the light. There wasn't any to test out to know what colors it look like so just to be on the safe side, I took light. I feel like it's a bit light or white for me but it works after using blush and bronzer. Next time, I will surely buy the medium just to try out. One thing I love about this is that it came with an extra refill which is a plus. I believed the price for it is around $30. I've been wearing it often and one thing that does bother me is that I have to dig on the side just to get a bit of product out since pressing on the cushion in the middle doesn't have much. It doesn't break me out and makes my face looks smooth. The coverage is light and a bit buildable. Overall, I would definitely buy this again especially with an extra refill .

     The BB Cushion feels really high quality. There's a button on the side that you press to open it. Inside, there's a mirror and the bottom is where the sponge is. Once you move the sponge, there's a plastic that you have to open on the side to use the cushion which the bb cream is there. All you do is dab the sponge once or twice to get the product and dab it onto your face. It's easy and simple.
