Hydraluron . . . and Off: Hydraluron Review
Hydraluron ($25 for 1 fl. oz.) by indeed Laboratories gained something of a cult following after skincare guru Caroline Hirons raved about its hydrating and plumping powers. Although it was available in the UK, Hydraluron didn’t hit the States until last year. When I saw it available on drugstore.com, I snapped it up immediately.

Magic: The Gathering (of Makeup): DIY Missha Magic Cushion Review + Tutorial
I love cushion compacts and I love customized things, so a DIY cushion compact is just up my alley. A DIY cushion is also a great solution for the dearth of cushion compacts for deeper skin tones and the general dearth of cushion versions of color makeup (highlighter, blush, bronzer).
A’Pieu and Missha actually have empty cushion compacts made for this purpose. I’ve seen some other DIY tutorials involving kitchen sponges, stamp/finger-wetting sponges, and regular makeup sponges. But the Missha Magic Cushion is so cheap ($10-13) that I figured I may as well just buy one that’s intended specifically for this purpose.

The brick-and-mortar storefront officially opened on January 31st and offers a selection of the products sold on the website.

My Milk Mask Brings All the Girls to the Yard – My Scheming Milk Extract Brightening Mask
I’m gonna milk this mask for all the puns it’s worth. You’d be udderly groaning by the time you’re done skimming through this article. Pa dum tsssh.
Anyway this is one of my favorite sheet masks from the “My Scheming” brand. My Scheming what??? I really don’t know. They really didn’t think through using an adjective as a noun I guess. This mask is from the same manufacturer as My Beauty Diary so it’s essentially the same concept: sheet masks soaked in various solutions to treat your various beauty needs:

How Pro Can You Go? – Proganix Reparative Oil
East coast snowboarding, besides leaving a dent in my ass, has been causing my otherwise-resilient hair to take some damage. So I dipped in to my normally useless Glossybox for this:
