Laneige Power Essential Skin Refiner (Moisture) Review

Hi everyone! It's been quite a while since our last review and we'd like to apologize for our inactivity; we've been extremely busy the past few months but we're trying to find time to write reviews. We've got a lot of new stuff to rave (and rant!) about, but first up is something from Laneige. We've previously reviewed the Water Sleeping Pack EX from the popular Korean skincare brand and will also review the entire Water Bank line in the near future, so watch out for that! But anyway, to start, here's my review of the Laneige Power Essential Skin Refiner (Moisture - for dry to normal skin types). This product is meant to be a toner, to be used after cleansing and before moisturizing. I took these photos when I just bought it, but I've been using this for about 5 months, and am halfway through with it. Without further ado, let's start!

I originally wanted to get the wildly popular Water Bank Essence (review here!) , but I couldn't justify buying another essence as I was already using two (Sana Namerakahonpo Essence and Innisfree Green Tea Serum), so I picked up this toner as I already ran out. Ugh. I blame Song Hye Kyo for my obsession with owning products from Laneige. Why must you be so perfect?! ლಠ益ಠლ

Majolica Majorca Brow and Lash Colorist Review

Hi everyone! Today I'll be reviewing Majolica Majorca Brow and Lash Colorist, which is basically an eyebrow mascara. I've been having my hair bleached and colored in much lighter shades (strawberry blonde, ash blonde etc.) for the past couple of years. I naturally have black hair and initially, I didn't really care about my eyebrows matching my hair because I had full bangs that covered them. But now that I have side bangs, I've been paying more attention to the color of my eyebrows. I've tried the following:

INNISFREE Green Tea Seed Serum Review (80ml)

Hi everyone! For my second review (this is T, by the way), I'll be talking about Innisfree's Green Tea Seed Serum. Innisfree is a Korean skincare brand known for using organic products (whether it's 100% organic or not, I don't know and don't really mind much XD) or products that are made from natural resources. Let's get started!


Looks very organic and tempting, no? Koreans always have great marketing/advertising!
SNSD's Yoona is the face of the brand

Holy Grail: Laneige Water Sleeping Pack EX Review

Today, I will be reviewing the Laneige Water Treatment Sleeping Pack EX. Laneige is a Korean skincare and makeup brand, endorsed by the beautiful Song Hye Kyo. If you're familiar with how Koreans prefer to do their makeup, you'll notice that they love the dewy, "boing-boingk" (meaning bouncy) look. When I first saw the commercial for this product, all I thought was, "I HAVE to have it." Check the video out for yourself :D






 ... See what I mean? Who wouldn't want to wake up with super moisturized, dewy skin? So this product is a sleeping mask (obviously haha!) that you put as the last step of skincare. Laneige says to use it once or twice a week, but the product is so friendly that the only thing you'll get from using it every night is hydrated skin. Anyway, on to the review!

First post

Hello everyone!
We've always wanted to start a beauty blog but we were always too shy, and we never really knew where to begin. But after benefiting from all the knowledge and reviews written by beauty bloggers from all over the world, we decided to give back a little and maybe, we might just help someone out with our reviews. If we could help anyone, in any way whatsoever, that would make us really happy :)

For starters, let us introduce ourselves first. We are A and T . Only the initials of our names, for privacy :) We are both inclined to Asian skincare and makeup, because, well, we're Asian and we just feel like Asian brands are better suited to our skin. XD A is 23 years old and has combination skin, while T is 20, and has dry skin.

Anyway, here's to the next few posts! We already have a bunch of reviews lined up and we're real excited to start :D
