|BEAUTY TIPS| Bare Essentials: Simplifying Skincare With 3 Steps

althea bare essentials review

PROCRASTINATION IS BAD
I initially wanted to skip this week entirely and not post anything. I was tired and I didn't have any time to sit down and write. But I figured if I actually skipped one week, I would be tempted to skip another and another, and soon this blog would be left untouched haha! I don't want that to happen! So, instead of doing a review today, I want to share some beauty tips which are sort of a Part Two to my Beginners Guide to Korean 10-Step Skincare.

ICAEW Story: Why Did I Choose to Study CFAB ICAEW?


BRINGING BACK SOME STORIES
I've been doing so many skincare reviews lately I've totally left out on the "My Stories" side of my blog. It's been a while since I last talked about my studies / profession and I've received quite a few emails from you guys on this. So let's talk about why I went for CFAB-ICAEW instead of CAT-ACCA (from now onwards I will just use ICAEW and ACCA) because this is by far the most asked question haha. 

|REVIEW| Purito Centella Green Level Recovery Cream


HARD TO PLEASE
I don't know if you're like me, but I'm not particularly happy when my beauticians start babbling about how badly I'm taking care of my skin / when my dermatologists prescribe meds for me without asking me what my existing daily skincare routines are or further understanding the underlying issues I might have. It gives me that kind of impression where they are just trying to make more sales / to get me out of their office instead of actually wanting to help me with my skin condition. Sigh, do you feel me? ☹️

|REVIEW| Purito Centella Green Level Buffet Serum


GLAD I DID
Recently I'm very into the Purito Centella Green Level All in One Mild Pad, which I've now been using for three weeks. It's my most loved cleansing/toning pad which I cannot live without and I will not give it up easily for anything else. This is also why I'm really glad I opted for the whole Centella Line when James from Purito offered me an opportunity to try and review their products. If only they have a Centella sunblock, I wouldn't even think twice about grabbing that one HAHA!

BURRITO PURITO
I have to admit, that's the first thing I thought of when I first learnt about Purito. But let me assure you, that's definitely not how the brand name came about haha! The name came from two different words, namely, "Purify" and "Soil". It's easy to get the "Purify" to Puri- part, but "Soil" to -to? Well, it's actually taken directly from the Chinese character "土", which is pronounced as "to" and it means soil in Mandarin. Now, why soil?

|REVIEW| My Scheming Milk Extract Brightening Mask: OMG!

My Scheming Milk Extract Brightening Mask review

I'M IN THE MILKY WAY
The song "I Love It" by Icona Pop just popped up when I saw the word "Milk" on the packaging, hence the title HAHA. What does seeing the word "Milk" bring you to? It got me to think about Cleopatra, the last pharaoh of Ancient Egypt, who was renowned for her radiant skin, all thanks to the donkey milk she bathed in regularly to keep her skin young and beautiful. Today, let's see what this My Scheming Milk Extract Brightening Mask can do!

I ALMOST DIDN'T
It was a tiring week. I almost didn't wanna post because I felt so exhausted and wanted to just lay on the bed doing nothing. My brain was overworking and my head hurt a lot when I stared at the screen for too long. But I told myself, if I skip one week then I might lose the motivation to post totally. Once you slack it's hard to get back on track (OMG look at that, it rhymes! LOL). So here I am and today we are going to talk about another mask from WangSkin.
