Hadalabo Gokujyun Lotion

This is one of the first (if not THE first) Asian skincare product that I ever tried. It attracted me as usual with the Hyaluronic Acid in it and the no fuss, straight forward approach of the brand. They are not trying to sell you cutesy packaging and frivolus stuff, with never seen before ingredient, which I also like, but I tend to be much more attracted to ‘medical’ looking types of products, there is not necessarily more research into them but they look like they do, I also use to have a more sensitive skin and like to have a few risk-less products. The Rohto Hadalabo Gokyjyun Hyaluronic Acid line is aimed at all skin types and aims to moisturize your skin deeply. Surprisingly enough the lotion I’m going to talk about today is the only product from the range that I have ever tried, the other product from the line do attract me too but for some reason I haven’t yet.

Clarins Blue Orchid Face Treatment Oil

The Clarins Blue Orchid Face Treatment Oil is one of Clarins cult product. It is, as the name would suggest, a face oil. There are 3 different oils in this range and the Blue Orchid one is dedicated to dehydrated skins.

Sana Hadanomy Collagen Mist

The Sana Hadanomy Collagen Mist is as the name would suggest a mist and is supposed to hydrate the skin. I don’t really remember when I bought it but part of the reason why is the cute bottle and the collagen in the name (I’m weak and I know it) and I bought it thinking I would use it as a lotion back when I thought that I would use the Hadacrie EVERY DAY and thought that I needed to buy liters and liters of lotion to go with it.

Mamonde - Rose Honey sleeping mask

The Mamonde Rose Honey sleeping mask is a sleeping mask that I discovered with a sample I received along an online order. I tried it, loved the smell and the effects I saw and decided to buy it full size.

Clarins HydraQuench Intesive Serum Bi-Phase

I love Clarins. It's my favorite high-end skincare brand. I love their philosophy and most of their products. I swear by their Moisture-Rich Body Lotion, the HydraQuench cream-gel is awesome and that is just to name a few. I like that they have a line for younger skins. And most importantly I feel good buying from them. The sales lady where I shop is the sweetest ever! They always make me feel like they know what they are talking about and you can feel that their customers is important for them.

Herborist -Silky All-day Moisturizing Lazy Beauty Facial Mask


I discovered this mask when I was subscribed to Birchbox, in the French version you accumulate points each time you buy a box and then those points allow you to buy stuff from their e-shop. I bought it on a whim. And I happen to quite like it.

Original Pure Vitamin C20 Serum

I first saw this serum on Wishtrend attracted by the "Free shipping", the "40% off", the fact that it was a bestselling item and the awards it has received I thought that for the price I could try it, worst that would happen would be that I did not like it but then 14.99$ would not be that much of a loss.

I received samples when I ordered at Beautynetkorea.com. The amount of samples they send me is ridiculous, not that I mind, I LOVE samples. Keep in mind that I can only speak about the immediate effects / impressions, since real effets can only appear with time.

- Tony Moly Intense Care Dual Effect Sleeping Pack
- Skinfood Broccoli Cleasing Foam
- Tony Moly White Hand Cream
- Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Cream
- L'Occitane - Ultra Rich Body Cream 25% Shea

Caudalie SOS Thirst Quenching Serum

I’ve been using this serum for about 3 years now (and by using it I mean that I have always had a bottle of it opened ever since, either using it in the morning, in the evening or both). I first discovered it reading Lodoesmakeup’s blog (in French) I bought it a few weeks after and fell in love.

All the products I regularly use in the morning.

One thing you should know about me is that I don’t believe in using the same products every day without exception or else you’ll die. I do believe that using a product for an extended period of time is needed to see its effects, I do believe in being consistent: if you start a product you finish it and I don’t think that having a bazillion opened products is needed, but I do think you have to adapt the products to your needs and my skin does not have the same needs everyday of the week. Let me explain: most days I’ll simply apply hydrating products, but then one day for some unknown reason my skin will feel drier, well then on this one day I’ll use something a bit richer, if one day I have more pimples: then I’ll use something taking care of this need. That’s why on each category I have up to 3 opened products that I switch between depending on my needs.

Now that I’ve explained myself here is my routine:
