I bought this blow dryer on a whim because I was tired of borrowing someone else's blow dryer. I regret to say that I basically chose this dryer because it was good looking (superficial, I know) but it was the first hair dyer I've ever bought and it has been one of the best dryers I've ever used. The air flow is stable and strong, which allows for a faster drying time and it came with a diffuser and flat nozzle attachment that's meant to be used with brushes so it's really versatile. The weight of the dryer is light enough so that my arms don't get too tired, but at the same time it's heavy enough to assure me that it's a quality blow dryer. I've found that my hair stays straight for longer and is softer and smoother when I use this dryer thanks to ceramic coils in the dryer. I've never had any problems with the dryer and it's been working perfectly for almost four years now.

The thick, creamy concealer gives really good coverage without caking and blends easily with a brush or finger. I got the kit in "natural" which at first seems too yellow for my skin tone but when I blended it out it was the most perfect shade. The powder also really helps to set the concealer making it last all day without needing touch ups. I also love that the packaging is practical but still has a mirror that's good for lip gloss touch ups and whatnot. This is definitely worth a try if you're tired of the liquid concealers creasing on you.

I feel like people either love this perfume or hate it. I love rose florals as well as sandalwood so this fragrance was spot on for me. I moved onto Parisienne from Vera Wang's Princess, which was a sweet floral because I wanted a more mature/sophisticated version of the tones I loved in Princess. The bottle is beautiful, and the staying power is much better with Parisienne. I could see how people would think this scent is "old", but I've found that it works well with my natural scent and is great for going out.

I really love how this scent incorporated dark chocolate, which was attractive enough for me to take a leap of faith and ask for it as a birthday gift without ever smelling it. And It did not disappoint at all. I love how it's sweet and floral without being too overpowering (ie: Love Spell) and is a youthful scent. I really like the woodsy undertones because they did not distract from the florals and gives it a nice substance. My only wish is for it to be longer lasting, but I certainly do not mind spritzing myself every so often through the day.

I love how this salve smells super feminine and has a cute pink tint, but what stopped me from buying more tins after my first one was the packaging. I HATE needing to stick my fingers into the tin for this salve. It is especially when I'm out and about because my fingers are probably disgusting, but it's too much of a production to bust out the hand sanitizer. When it came out in the tube form I snatched it off the shelves (no joke) and rejoiced. The price per gram is much more expensive yes, but it just feels so much better to be able to directly apply to my lips as opposed to smearing my finger in the salve and then not knowing where to wipe it afterwards.

I really love how smooth the texture of this cream liner is! I got this liner as a part of the Sephora 500 point perk and was pleasantly surprised by how well it applies. It came in midnight brown which is great for a summer alternative to my usual black liner. Though it goes on great, the color runs a little thin and I find myself needing to go over it again to achieve a uniform color/ line. I don't think I'm going to repurchase this further down the line.

I really love how depending on the way you apply this booster, you can achieve different looks with your lashes. If you roll on the booster, it can add amazing length while wiggling the wand at the lash base can give a huge volume boost. Since I started using this primer, my lashes have become noticeably stronger and doesn't fall out as easily when I remove mascara. Would definitely recommend.

Shu Uemura's oil cleanser is a staple for many Asian women's beauty routine. It's really a multi-tasker: it cleanses, moisturizes and removes the most stubborn makeup effortlessly. At first I wasn't really sure how to use this (oil on my face? what?), but now I use it how I would use a regular non-foaming cleanser. The leaves my face feeling hydrated without greasy, and has really improved my skin's overall texture. This cleansing oil seems expensive, but it's really a long-term investment because it will last you years.

I came across the UNT brand through a Taiwanese blogger's site. The colors from this collection looked PHENOMENAL so I had to check their site immediately. I purchased MQ050 Vicious Nicco and MQ025 Blissful Zoe, a deep berry and a milk tea shade. I am usually apprehensive about red nail polishes, because it's hard to find a shade that compliments my skin tone...HOWEVER this berry red shade managed to make my skin look brighter when on, and looks so luxurious and expensive on short nails. Blissful Zoe is soft milk tea shade that is THE perfect neutral and perfect shade for everyday wear. The nail polish is very pigmented so it's possible to only wear one coat and have the color be true to the bottle. It dries in a high gloss finish, which can be further protected by a top coat. I'm SOOOO obsessed with these nail polishes I'm so happy I decided to give them a try. UNT polishes are only available on their website, but they're definitely worth waiting for. I can't wait to get more shades to try from this amazing line.

I love how all the colors in this palette go so well with each other, making it much easier to experiment with color in the neutral range while staying work appropriate. I bought this palette only recently because I wanted the hype to die down, so it came with a brush instead of the liner. The good karma eye shadow brush is a great replacement for the liner because I find it more useful and is really well made. Overall a great palette that was worth the hype.
