Beauty Tools Week: Silicone Cleansing Pad

Closing out Beauty Tools Week is my new favorite!  I got this in my April 3B Box, and am really impressed with it!

Beauty Tools Week: Every Drop Spatulas

Next up on Beauty Tools Week is something that I hunted down like a madwoman.  They were kind of hard to find, and where I could find them, they were stupidly overpriced, but I had to have them.  Have you heard of these Every Drop Spatulas?  They're amazing.  Overpriced, and kind of ridiculous, but amazing.

Beauty Tools Week: Nose Pore Brush

I remember reading about this next product on /r/AsianBeauty a couple of months back, and was intrigued.  The idea of a pore brush is super soft bristles, densely packed together, to help gently lift out debris and (hopefully) sebaceous filaments stuck in pores.

Beauty Tools Week: Konjac Sponge

Konjac sponges are super popular these days.  They come from the fibers of the konjac root, and are great for mild physical exfoliation.  On some mornings, I just wash my face in the morning with a konjac sponge and some water.  Other times, I spread some cleanser onto the konjac and squish around to lather up some dense, rich foam, and massage it into my face.

Beauty Tools Week: Daiso Japan Reusable Silicone Mask Cover Review: My First HG Product!

I bought this on a whim a couple of months back.  At the time, I thought it was a little kooky, but pretty interesting.  Little did I know how big of a deal this is.

I'm going to be reviewing beauty tools this week, so I figured I'd start off with my first and (so far) only HG product.

Moksha Bidan Cream Review: How I unknowingly tried Horse Oil...and found my new favorite moisturizer

So a couple of things happened.  Back in February, I ordered my first Memebox, and got some pretty spiffy things.  And about a month back, I read a review posted on /r/AsianBeauty about Horse Oil, which I found fascinating, but had no interest in trying, because it kind of squicked me out.

Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago, when I decide to make use of my Memebox items, and try them out.  I put on the "schmancy" Bidan Cream, thinking it was just going to be some junk product.  It spreads like heaven even though I used the tiniest amount.  The smell is a soothing herbally tea scent.  The next morning?  My face is baby soft and glowy.  Fancy pants Sulwhasoo doesn't do this to me.  What. Is. In. This. Thing?  I rip open my Memebox and dig out the packaging.

Here's the product description for the Moksha Bidan Cream on the Memebox Info Card:

Haul: Beautynetkorea makeup essentials

I am doing my Mother's Day shopping early, ...because it gives me an excuse to break my no-buys (I know, I know).  But in my defense, I kind of had to try out some other stores, for the sake of the blog...yes...that sounds good.

Anyway, this isn't a very big haul.  I picked up some makeup that I've been needing, seeing how all of my makeup is like 8 years old.

Tonymoly Shiny Foot Super Peeling Liquid 1+1 (3), The Saem Concealer, and Clio Pen Liner in Kill Black

Haul: Cleansing balms and fruit from 11st!

I actually got this last weekend, but got so caught up with paperwork and some family business, that I completely forgot to post this.  I took advantage of the free shipping promotion (over now, sorry!) and picked up two cleansing balms I've been meaning to review (the battle coming posthaste!) along with some gifts for Mother's Day.  This is my first order from 11st, and I'm not sure I'll be ordering again.  Their shipping would've been astronomical had it not been for the coupon, and I'm kind of disappointed in how they packaged everything.  Also, I didn't get any samples!  What the heck is up with that?  Anyway, on with my haul.

Super speedy delivery!

Review: Skinfood Egg White Pore Foam

This was my first Asian beauty product.  I had no idea what to expect, other than it was the recommended cleanser by Charlotte Cho of Soko Glam fame, and I could not find a single review where pH was listed.  Spoiler alert:  this does not have a happy ending.
