"The cat is beauty and the beast, a baffling blend, a wicked feast.”
Greetings from my sick bed in Taiwan. But let me start from the beginning. I’m here visiting my friend who’s in one of those maternity clinics after giving birth to her first baby. Women here can stay in the hospital center for up to a month, and everything is taken care of. After visiting her, I binge shopped and went to Taroko Gorge and got severely sick. This is my first post on my Taiwanese haul:

Here’s a super seed to supersede your previous beauty cleanser: the face shop’s new seed line. I got a sample of the whitening and exfoliating chia seed cleanser and fell in love with it. So of course despite having a vanity full of scrubs I had to get this:
Now the “white seed” cleanser doesn’t specifically mention Chia seeds. But it doesn’t really matter because the graininess of the seeds are used for exfoliation and not for their moisturizing properties.

Asses aren’t just great in rap songs anymore! Leave it to the Koreans to milk the benefits of donkey lactation! Donkey milk is the new skincare rage. And why not? If it was good enough for Cleopatra it might be good enough for moi! Behold my latest acquisition thanks to Angela’s recent LA beauty hoard…er…haul:

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:
Cue Sam Sparro, I love that freaking song! Anyway I’ve had my eyes (pun intended) on these hydrogel patches since seeing them in all the Asian cosmetics stores. They’re supposed to be popular and awesome right?

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:

While I am on a roll with animal products, I picked up a nicely packaged artisanal-looking pot of expensive hand cream at a health food store. It’s $13 for a 3-4 oz jar.
I found the packaging to be irresistibly cute with the thick gift-like cardboard box, vintage font, and a bee stamp. The ingredients promised all natural beeswax and Royal Jelly (hello Burts Bees competitor) so I HAD to. My hands are so dry from constant washing and hand-sanitizer to keep nasty NYC subway germs at bay. It’s a vicious circle of dryness and washing and more dryness.

As a lover of animals (and all their parts) I had to jump on the horse fat bandwagon. Guerrison 9-Complex cream’s fifth ingredient is horse fat. Why horse fat? Supposedly it is all natural and is rich in vitamin E. It creates a protective moist barrier for your skin. One swatch at the asian cosmetics store Beauty Tips in Alhambra and I was SOLD damnit.

I have been obsessed with the PoBling Sonic Cleanser since seeing it in the Asian cosmetics stores. I paid the full price of $45 at Maneki Neko in Arcadia for the gold one. Super overpriced but I felt more assured that the exorbitant price meant that it was the true original PoBling. It’s basically a vibrating facial cleanser with a super soft tightly packed bristle head:
