I’m a little peeved to see that the price went down $10 whole dollars from when I purchased it, so it’s even cheaper now at only $106! I went back and forth on whether to splurge on this expensive product and I heard so many mixed reviews on this.

So do I like it? Overall, yes…. but I don’t use it every single day. I use it about every other day instead because I feel like it can be a little too rough and harsh on my skin. I heard other people with very oily skin say that it made them break out even MORE because they felt like they were spreading the germs around.

First off, I wouldn’t recommend using their facial cream but using your own personal favorite face product. Currently I am using Shiseido’s extra rich cleansing foam.



After I use the Clarisonic my face feels squeaky clean! It almost feels buffed in the way your skin feels after a facial. But since I have very dry skin I need to put on my toner and moisturizer ASAP! I know it’s very important to get all that dirt and grime out of your pores, but I hope I’m not stripping my skin of its natural oils.

So basically that is the reason why I use it every other day and I think it works just fine! I know every person has different skin needs so I would really be careful if you have sensitive skin. I do happen to know some people who truly did NOT like the product and don’t even use it at all anymore!

One thing for sure… for you lazy people out there, it’s kind of nice to just move the brush around your face knowing that it’s efficiently doing the job without you having to do much!

After experiencing a horrible $200 microdermabrasion facial (from a 5 star reputable spa) that left a million tiny little bumps all over my face, here are some tips that I am sharing with all my brides to be.

WATER! – Drink your 8 glasses of water! I barely drink 1 glass of water a day and it’s the water that made my coffee. It makes a world of a difference to drink a bottle of water every other hour. It’s always best to let your body naturally heal itself. Being that your SKIN is the largest organ on your body, why not help heal it in it’s most natural way!

Being Korean, I was taught that this was the way of life:

Here’s a little secret that I’ve been testing out on my skin the past year. I wanted to test out this product through all the seasons and it’s finally ready for it’s reveal~

SKII Cellumination Mask-In Lotion = $75

YES! To most, spending $75 on a little bottle of skin lotion is INSANE!

Here’s my perspective:

- $75 is nothing compared to weekly facials ranging from $50 – $200.

- $75 is nothing compared to spending $10 – $20 on drugstore brand that doesn’t really do much for you skin.

- This little bottle of $75 lasts about 6+ months.

- It takes time for your skin to heal after facials. So why not just have your skin in great shape all the time without the glitch of having your skin heal in between.

Here’s why it’s so awesome:

This formula is what the leave on cloth mask is soaked in. So after application, it feels as if your skin has been hydrated with the mask.

It leaves your skin fully hydrated without that greasy feeling so if you apply primer & foundation on top, you don’t look caked on with a layer of makeup floating on the surface.

I do agree that $75 is pretty steep but why not treat the largest organ on your body the best!

And I thought yesterday was cold! Today is… absolutely frigid. Usually our apartment is a swamp and we need to crack open a window to make it breathable. I noticed how cold it was outside because our apartment was “normal” temperature.  Plus, the pads on my cat’s paws were cold, which is unusual.

When your heat is on full blast, you might not be aware of how dry the air is. My sister has super oily skin and said her skin was GREAT at my apartment because it was so dry! Meaning… the dry skinned people like me are suffering even more.  I’ve heard of people saying that leaving out a bowl of water helps keep the moisture in the air.  However, we decided to invest in a real humidifier. Well, a “real” humidifier meaning this: (don’t laugh!)

$35 at Bed Bath & Beyond

Actually, we REALLY wanted this one but it was sold out:

The elephant one is cuter because it it comes out of the nose! The frog one has steam coming out of its eyeballs, which is a little creepy.

I think these are meant for children, but they’re the cheapest ones! Or cheapest ones that are semi-good quality at least. And now you can use your 20% off BBB coupons you’re always getting in the mail!
