Beauty Stuff

Asian cosmetics (esp. Korean) are my favorites. They're good quality and adorably packaged- and just seem to work a lot better for me. I love browsing online, reading reviews and scouting new releases almost as much as trying the actual products!
Here's some of my ongoing skin type info for reference:

July 2014

• A month since I started using Bragg's organic apple cider vinegar (1 part to 3 parts filtered H2O) as toner a.m. and p.m., followed by Etude House Wonder Pore Freshner
• HUGE improvement in cystic acne (I actually only have one spot at the moment)
• Blackheads and papules reduced and easier to extract- even the super stubborn ones on my chin
• A little smoother texture overall
• WOOHOO!

May 2014

• Controllable acne (red, cystic) but tons of tiny blackheads EVERYWHERE but they do diminish with oil cleansing.
• Rough, bumpy texture. Cobblestone. *waaaaaah!* Probably *sigh* aging. And maybe from not finding anything to keep my face moisturized long-term without blackheads and breakouts.

Sept. 2013

• Less acne!!! Scattered spots instead of clusters. *ewwww*
• Less dry
• Still super blackhead-y >.<

 July 2013

• MAC NC20 (neck), slightly lighter face
• Sensitive
• Severely dry
• Blackheads
• Cystic acne patches
• Redness
