Protect Your s

Sharing a beauty product that was recommended to me by a friend when I told her how my lips easily are chapped and dry no matter how often I put on chapstick and vaseline.

I didn’t know such a thing existed, but ta-da! there is a mask for your lips .

This product is the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask. I started using it about a month ago. Every night at the end of my skin care ritual after I brush my teeth, I have been putting this on lips. It’s a balm type product so it is easy to apply using your fingers and it also smells good!!

In the morning, I’ve found that my lips feel moisturized and soft. Also when I apply lipstick, I don’t see any dry chapped lines either (cause who doesn’t hate when you see a crack on your lips after you apply lipstick??).

Vaseline is a cheaper alternative, but I found this to be a bit more moisturizing than Vaseline and for $20 it’s not a bad investment. I bought mine from Sephora so if you are interested in protecting your lips with cold weather just around the corner-why don’t you take a peek IF you just happen to be near a Sephora

Favorite Jewelry Store

A way to complete the perfect outfit is the perfect accessory! I love to accessorize, pretty simply with a necklace or earrings.

Thanks to a co-worker, I’ve fallen in love with a specific brand when it comes to purchasing earrings.

I’d like to introduce *dramatic drumroll* LOVODA.

The main reason why I love LOVODA is their earrings is their product is affordable and the quality is also good. I have sensitive skin especially when it comes to earrings that I can commonly buy sterling silver or gold earrings, but those can become pricey.

At LOVODA I have managed to find 14k earrings and sterling silver earrings that are under $30. It may seem really cheap, but the quality of these earrings are EXCELLENT. So far I haven’t had any allergic reactions nor infections from their earrings.

Most of all, I love how beautiful and simple their designs are. Also one thing I love is how I can get to support a local brand. I found LOVODA is located in up in Baltimore, MD. I haven’t had a chance to visit the actual store yet, but their online experience is great.

If you are looking for some nice affordable jewelry, I suggest checking LOVODA out! Click here to visit!

FAVORITE MAKEUP BRAND

*Disclaimer: This post is not sponsored by this company. This is all personal opinion based on usage. The link provided is the company’s link.

When I first started wearing makeup and became dedicated to taking care of my skin, I was living in Korea so obviously my favorite make up brand is Korean. The brand I use mostly for skin care is Innisfree.

To be honest, I have been using their skincare products as long as I can remember and have never really tried any other skincare products so I may be pretty biased. However, with sensitive and combination/oily skin, I have found that their products best work for me. It may look like a lot, but this is how I’ve been taking care of my skin.

Here’s a list of current products I am using now:

Skin care:
- Soybean energy essence
- Soybean energy eye serum
- Youth enriched orchid eye cream
- Youth enriched orchid cream (I use this in the winter for deeper moisture)
- Green persimmon pore essence
- Lava seawater line
  - toner
  - serum
  - emulsion
  - cream (I use it in the summer so my skin doesn’t feel too heavy)
- Pore clearing volcanic cluster clay mousse mask
- It’s Real Squeeze mask sheets (tried all 16 options & favorites are: cucumber, manuka honey, aloe, acai berry, blackberry, green tea, rice, shea butter)
Make up:
- No sebum mineral powder
- No sebum mineral pact
