I’m turning 45 in December. I no longer have the time or patience for a 10-step skincare routine. I’ve found what works well for me, and I’ve stuck to it for the past year. And my skin still looks pretty good for my age — very minimal fine lines and the occasional breakout. The biggest thing […]
I wear contact lenses most of the day, but I switch to glasses at night. For the past decade or so I’ve used vision insurance for my contacts (don’t you love how most vision plans only cover glasses or contacts?) and gotten my glasses from various online retailers, mostly Warby Parker. I don’t think I […]
Carolina Herrera has released a new foundation: the Nude Couture Triple Moisture Serum Foundation, and it just might be my HG base product. In other words, if I could design my own foundation — light to medium buildable coverage, glowy finish, lightweight, no scent, long-lasting — this would be it. The Carolina Herrera foundation comes […]

In the past, I used to be more comfortable with my bare face but after I hit my late 30s (I’m currently 42), I found myself reaching for face makeup more often. As such, I have tried tons of foundations — in various finishes, coverage, and price points. And while I recommended only one in […]
I know you’re probably getting inundated with recommendations for the Sephora sale, but I thought I would throw in my two cents here because I have some stuff that I have not seen on many other people’s lists. Additionally, I am only picking one makeup item per category. (You can see my skincare recommendations here.) And […]
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve pared down my skincare routine greatly. Gone are the days of the 10-step routine. Time is too precious. Simple, effective products are key. Although I don’t use TikTok (I’m too old 😝), I do read about the big trends and I discovered skin cycling last year. Basically, the concept is: […]

Read part 1 here Sheet masks have become pretty ubiquitous by now, wouldn’t you say? I myself have been exploring new brands and types, reading up on the latest trends/gimmicks (animal or kabuki sheet masks, anyone?), and investigating the best-reviewed masks per my usual researcher self.

Harro! As you can probably tell by the dismal state of my blog this month, I’ve been pretty busy lately. (And when I manage to get a break, I have been zoning out in front of Netflix.) And since I get so much positive feedback about product reviews — especially ones regarding Korean beauty stuffs — I’ve decided […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
