[Review] Missha Time Revolution Night Repair Serum

For a while now, I've heard that I should start taking care of my skin more rigorously; & I've been doing just that. I realised that I was still missing something that many people swear by; a serum. I got really lucky finding this! (I've also got a spot correcting serum, but I didn't start using it yet.)

I got this in a missha haul a little bit ago, when they had the VIP shop open for everyone; I hope they do that again~

Apparently it's a dupe for Estee Lauder's Advanced Night Repair.  I wouldn't really know how they stand side by side, as I've not the money for the Estee Lauder serum at $82 per 50ml on Amazon (regularly $96), vs Missha's at $50 per 50ml (Bought it for $25 during the VIP sale.)

It comes in packaging that just screams ~expensive~; to me, at least. lol I quite like it. (purple!)

The serum itself is a brownish orange color, it doesn't really have a particular smell, so I'm thinking it's not fragranced.

When I started using it, I have to admit, I was slightly pissed because I got pimples for the first time in weeks. But keep to it, using it every other night & then all & your skin will love it.

When I smooth it on it takes a little while to absorb, but using piano fingers all around your face helps it.

You can also you layered cotton sheets, like selena hagaseru cotton, soaked in a tiny amount of water, just enough to get all soaked up, with a drop or two of serum to use as a mask-ish type thing when you go to sleep.

I didn't think to take before and after pictures of my skin, but I can really tell you after such a small time, even now my skin's feeling plumper(? if thats the right word lol) & softer. Next time a sale rolls around I'll stock up some more!

[weekly mani] 8.8.2013

I've really been neglecting this blog, at first for good reason, but I've had the whole summer to work on it, but the lazies caught me. xD
I've still been keeping up with my skincare & things, but I just haven't been documenting it.

I just received my nail stones from ebay & I couldn't wait to try them out! I told myself I was gonna go without polish for a week to let my nails breathe, but I barely went 3 days before I broke down & made up my nails lol

I'm not quite sure what brand the gold is, since I painted my nails while I was at my aunt's & added the rhinestones later when I got home. I quite like simple nails, but they're not plain. ^^

My current skincare routine (day)

Hi guys! This is the second part of my skincare routine. Let's jump into it, shall we?

When I wake up, i'm really just...blah. My morning routine reflects that, since it's less time-consuming than my night.

First, I use Biore combo skin balancing cleanser with a foam net. I don't use my skin brush in the morning, since there's really nothing to deep clean

this is almost done, I might repurchase.

I then use my witch hazel toner as a toner, & rite aid brand Aveeno positively radiant. ( i've had the actual aveeno brand, but I just want to finish this one. )

I then top it all off with my neutrogena healthy defense daily moisturizer in SPF 50.

If I'm wearing makeup that day, I'll put a spritz of Missha deep sea water micro mist in Rose to kinda set it. lol

Well, that's my current routine, I'll make sure to keep you posted when I update it! :D

My current skincare routine (night)

Hey, guys!

Wow, I've really been sleeping on this blog, lol.

Nothing has really changed in the few months since I've posted.

My current routine's about to change, though. I have so many new things to try out!

But before everything's done, I'd like to go over what has had my sensitive, oily & acne prone skin calm & clear. :)

When I'm back home after a long day of doing whatever I had to drag myself outside to do, I use an oil cleanser to take my makeup off, and sometimes, I use that time to kinda massage my face also..lol For the past few months (since december, actually) I've been using sephora collection supreme cleansing oil.

All I really need is a pump to take all of my makeup off. Even waterproof mascara & this MAC eyeliner I've had since last year that's virtually indestructible. All you need to do is rub gently.

I use plain water to emulsify the oil & rinse it off.  It is a bit time consuming, and i'd imagine it'd be easier if you had a washcloth just for your face lol.

Then I use my rite-aid brand acne wash with my clarisonic. I believe the store brand was an alternative to clearasil daily clear face wash.

As for toner & moisturizer, I use dickinson's witch hazel followed by clinique clarifying lotion #3 for combo skin & h2o marine daily hydrator.

Lol, that's it, really.. I try not to use too many things on my face at the same time.
