REVIEW: Kicho Argan Brush Cleanser + Cleanser Wipes

One of my least favorite things to do is to clean my makeup brushes, sponges, and tools, but it's undeniable how necessary it is to clean your makeup tools often. I usually have to reserve an hour or two just for cleansing my brushes because I use a lot of tools each week. It's recommended to clean your brushes after each use not just for hygienic reasons, but also because the brushes won't perform as well if they're not clean! I currently use a regular bar of soap to cleanse my brushes, but I recently switched over to the Kicho Argan Brush Cleanser and Cleanser Wipes, which I'll be reviewing today! Kicho is a very ingredient-conscientious brand that strives to avoid harsh chemicals by using natural ingredients.

These two products have seriously changed how I cleanse my brushes, so it's no longer a multi-hour long chore! So without further ado, lets get to the review! :D

REVIEW: COVERGIRL Plumpify BlastPRO Mascara + Oh Sugar! Lip Balm in Sprinkle

Hey guys! Sorry for the lack of posts~ T^T I've just been super busy, in addition to my blogging laptop still being broken, and so is my SD card so these photos probably aren't the best haha. I'm getting back into reviewing more things though so expect more reviews soon, I promise! :D Anyway, I was recently sent the brand spankin' new COVERGIRL Plumpify BlastPRO Mascara and the Oh Sugar! Lip Balm to test out and review thanks to Influenster! :)

UNBOXING: RAKUTEN RAN Q4 Bonus Box 2015

A while ago, I was lucky enough to be sent the RAN Q4 Bonus Box from Rakuten. Each quarter, Rakuten chooses 50 lucky bloggers to send them a few beauty and fashion products from several brands they partner with. I am so excited to show you guys today all the products in the RAN Bonus Box and some amazing brands it helped me discover! So lets get right to it!

e.l.f. Party Ready Eyeshadow Palette

I was ecstatic to see the e.l.f. Party Ready Eyeshadow Palette in my Bonus Box because it's been about 3 years since I've used their products. e.l.f. is known for having decent quality (usually hit-or-misses for me) and crazy affordable products. The packaging is very simple; it's an all black plastic palette. Don't be fooled though, the quality of their products sure make up for the plain packaging!

REVIEW: HASK Argan Oil Repairing Hair Care Collection

I just chopped off about 6 inches of hair the other weekend because it was so damaged and filled with split ends! :'( Ever since then, I've been cautiously taking care of my hair in order to make it healthy and last as long as possible before I get any more split ends. One of the best products I have ever used to treat my hair has been pure argan oil. Not only has argan oil helped by making my hair stronger, it's also made my hair incredibly soft and shiny!

Since pure argan oil has worked so well on my hair, I thought, why not try an argan oil shampoo? Today, I'll be reviewing the entire Argan Oil Repairing Hair Care Collection by HASK!

WHAT'S THE ARGAN OIL REPAIRING HAIR CARE COLLECTION?

Argan Oil, unique to Morocco, is known for its high absorbing, penetrating and split-end repairing qualities while leaving even the most damaged hair soft and nourished.

The Argan Oil Repairing Hair Care Collection includes an Argan Oil Repairing Shampoo, Conditioner, Deep Conditioner, and Shine Treatment.

All products in the Argan Oil Repairing Hair Care Collection are free of: sulfates, parabens, phthalates, gluten, drying alcohol and artificial colors

REVIEW: Kérastase Resistance Bain Therapiste + Soin Premier Therapiste

I've previously mentioned in some previous posts how often I like to style my hair. It's true, I'm constantly using hot tools in my hair probably every day and I know, I've put my hair through a lot! Lately, I've taken a step back and decided that if I'm going to put my hair through so much work, I figured I might as well start taking better care of my locks.

Today, I'll be reviewing the Kerastase Resistance Bain Therapiste and the Soin Premier Therapiste! I've tried many shampoos and hair care products throughout my lifetime, but this is my first time using a hair care line that focuses specifically on weak, damaged and overworked hair!

REVIEW: Irresistible Me Sapphire 8 in 1 Complete Curling Wand

Today, I'm going to be reviewing one of my favorite beauty products that I use almost every single day. No it's not makeup or skincare this time, but it's the Sapphire 8 in 1 Complete Curling Wand from Irresistible Me! You guys may not know this, but I always try to look my best when I'm leaving the house. I hate bumming around, so I rarely ever leave my house wearing just a t-shirt and sweatpants. Besides doing my makeup almost everyday, I also love doing my hair.

Though I have naturally straight-ish hair, I love curling my hair to get that messy "beachy waves" look and this is where the Sapphire 8 in 1 Complete Curling Wand comes in handy. It's one hair tool, but with 8 different switchable heads varying from so many different sizes to help you achieve any hairstyle you want!

REVIEW: Daeng Gi Meori Ja Dam Hwa The First Shampoo

By now, I'm pretty familiar with the Korean haircare brand Daeng Gi Meori! I've tried the Look at Hair Loss True Shampoo (HERE) and the Oriental Special Shampoo (HERE) which have both worked pretty well for me, so I was stoked to receive the Ja Dam Hwa The First Shampoo in my August BNT Box! 

When I first pulled this shampoo out of the box, I was amazed at how absolutely gorgeous the design on the bottle was. It's a deep scarlet red bottle with a quaint floral design. Most shampoos I've tried don't usually have pretty packaging like this one, but this was vibrant and eye-catching.

REVIEW: DAENG GI MEORI Oriental Special Shampoo

I'm such a huge fan of K-beauty (Korean beauty) products including everything from makeup to skincare, but I have yet to venture out deeply into the world of Korean haircare. I've been very low-maintenance when caring for my hair, so it always a nice surprise to be receiving a new shampoo in my BNT Box and give my hair some special treatment!

Today, I'll be reviewing the DAENG GI MEORI Oriental Special Shampoo and to my surprise, I already knew about this shampoo even before I received it! I'm a huge Korean drama addict and one of my favorite K-dramas, Fated To Love You, featured this shampoo in one of their episodes. :D

As you can see, the hilarious Jang Hyuk is seen here using the shampoo for his own commercial; anyone else obsessed with his crazy laugh?! LOL

This shampoo brought back so many fond memories of Fated To Love You, so of course I couldn't wait to jump in the shower and use it!

REVIEW: Daeng Gi Meo Ri Look At Hair Loss True Shampoo

One of the items in my BNT Box for the month of June was the Daeng Gi Meori Look at Hair Loss True Shampoo. I've tried a lot of Korean beauty products already, but have yet to try out a Korean shampoo! From what I know, this is a very popular brand of haircare products in Korea. I have yet to use anything by this brand, so I'm definitely excited to review this for you guys.

As the name of the bottle suggests, this is a shampoo geared towards combating hair loss while gently cleansing the hair and scalp. I do not have a problem with hair loss whatsoever, but I was very interested in how it would cleanse and make my hair feel after using.

REVIEW: Spongellé Infused Boxed Flowers Body Buffer & Pedi Buffer

Today, I'm reviewing the Spongellé Boxed Daisy Body Buffer and the Pedi Buffer! Before this, I've been switching between bar soaps and liquid body washes (with loofahs). I preferred using the liquid body wash with loofahs because it helped exfoliate my skin more than the bar soaps, but not by much. Using towels or brushes to exfoliate my body was also a bit too rough and I never enjoyed using them. I've also never exfoliated the skin on my feet besides getting them scrubbed and buffed during pedicures, which I didn't treat myself to often.

REVIEW: too cool for school Skinny Body Soda

Though I'm quite petite and slender, my body isn't as toned as I would like it to be. When I got the chance to try out and review the too cool for school Skinny Body Soda from my June BNT Box, I couldn't have been more eager! I don't necessarily have cellulite on my body, but hey, if this product could tone and tighten my body like it claims then why not give it a try? I mean even just looking at the photo on the bottle and packaging is motivation to get my dream body!

REVIEW: Esteé Lauder Pleasures Fragrance & BeautySpin.com!

I've been discovering so many new e-commerce websites left and right lately and I couldn't be any more excited! Today I'm coming at you with a review of BeautySpin.com and also a review on the Esteé Lauder Pleasures fragrance (which I got from Beauty Spin). I received all of the following products from BeautySpin.com and will be posting reviews on the Missha Super Aqua Mineral Cleansing Water and the Missha Super Aqua Marine Stem Cell Gel Tonic soon, so stay tuned! :)

Teen Vogue X Hask Hair Review: Monoi Oil Hair Products!

I've always had a problem with my boring dull hair that was just never soft or shiny enough, but I always accepted it because I thought, "This is just how my hair naturally is... can't change it!" But boy was I totally wrong about that.

HOWEVER, there's a new 500 Point perk available and I finally bit the bullet and redeemed some of my points for the bareMinerals Brighten, Contour, & Highlight set!
