Excuse Me, Are You Wearing Any Makeup? – my routine

It takes a shit load of makeup to look “naturally pretty,” as my IT cosmetics palette indicates below:

🍑Angela’s NYC hauls💸 . I only had one MUST-BUY for my trip to visit Renee: @holysnails Angel Shark, a version of the famous #SharkSauce exclusive to @oo35mm ($36 for 30ml; $13 for 7ml travel size). It boasts soothing ingredients tea tree water and madecassoside. Even better? The latest batch has been boosted to 10% NIACINAMIDE. (Oo35mm currently has both the 10% and the original 5% formula in stock, so make sure to specify which one you want if it matters to you.) . As a big fan of 10% niacinamide for skin-strengthening and overall skin health benefits, I’ve been getting my fill using the Paula’s Choice booster, the Good Molecules serum, and Holy Snails’ Double Shark. Am happy to add Angel Shark to my stash. . How to choose which of the 10% niacinamide products to choose from? I have more thoughts on that, but in short, Shark Sauce has thoughtfully chosen synergistic ingredients (n-acetyl glucosamine, licorice root extract) that boost the brightening abilities of niacinamide. That’s why Shark Sauce remains in regular rotation. . Other #beautyandthecatny hauls from: oo35mm and New Kam Man in Chinatown and the UZ (pronounced ooh-zoo) by Flowfushi @unframethebeauty pop-up. . #oo35mm #holysnails #beautyandthecat #niacinamide #paulaschoice #goodmolecules #flowfushi #unframethebeauty #kbeauty #jbeauty
🍑 🌈 I enjoy sunsets and walks along the peach... . This trio brings joy to my summer routine. 🤗 Each one is scented like soft and sweet white peaches. 🧡 . @bcl_company_official Momo Puri Lotion (hydrating toner) and Gel Cream are perfect for oilier skin and (for my balanced, sometimes dehydrated skin) sticky hot weather 🥵. Grabbed this at @kirei_station. . @tonymoly.us_official makes some of THE yummiest peach stuphs, although product quality varies. I was unimpressed with the hand cream but have no complaints about this Cleansing Sherbet balm. Removes waterproof eye makeup and rinses off easily. Grabbed this during one of @ultabeauty’s sales. . #beautyandthecat #summerskincare #peaches #tonymoly #kireistation #jbeauty #kbeauty #rasianbeauty #skincareaddiction #abcommunity #asianbeauty #asianskincare
Throw this in my face the next time I say I want to try a new sunscreen... . Total count: 14. Opened: 7. Unopened: 7. Haven’t tried these except for the Biore Watery Essence. Would repurchase: Krave, Verdio, Menturm. Like but would not repurchase: Supergoop (doesn’t smooth and unstickify my face as much as I want). Would not repurchase: Volition, Jayjun, EltaMD. . A mix of #kbeauty, #jbeauty, and Western brands. . And this is only PART of it (missing the ones at the office and at my boyfriend’s). . #beautyandthecat #abcommunity #rasianbeauty #scffinder #supergoop #volition #eltamd #jayjun #asianbeauty #asianskincare #kireistation
👁👁 EYE SPY...@supergoop Shimmershade SPF 30 ($24), one of my most anticipated purchases. Shimmery cream eyeshadow with broad-spectrum sunscreen? Count me in! (HINT TO SUPERGOOP: A colorless eyeshadow primer with SPF would be the purrrfect complement.) . ☀️ Active ingredients: zinc oxide 20%, octisalate 5%. . 💁🏻‍♀️ Review: These are creamy and firm but not dry. Blends and applies easily with fingers, and you can use a silicone applicator for more precision. Applies a bit patchily in the first layer but smooths out with more layers. I use it as a base for powder shadows, but they work alone as well (not sure about creasing though). CORRECTION: I said I use primer under this, but I actually use this INSTEAD of primer. I don’t expect full SPF 30 because (1) who applies that much eyeshadow and (2) it’s too much color and shimmer to apply beyond the socket. Nonetheless, I love having that extra boost of SPF in makeup that I’d reach for even if it *didn’t* have SPF. Simply Supergoop at its best. . 😎 The shades: . 🌟DAYDREAM: Golden peach. My pick and exclusive to @bluemercury and @supergoop’s website. 🍑 The peachiness works a lot better with my skin tone (NC15-20, very warm). The other two light shades are too gold and don’t read as natural on my skin. They’re more of a lewk. I’m wearing Daydream here with some matte neutrals from Kevyn Aucoin Nude Pop in the outer corner. . 🌟FIRST LIGHT: Pale gold. . 🌟GOLDEN HOUR: Light yellow gold. . 🌟SUNSET: Warm but slightly neutral-leaning bronze. Almost bought this in the Sephora sale before realizing that I’d only wear a dark shade like this close to my upper lashline, i.e., the part of my eyelid you can’t see cuz my hood folds over it 😑 . #beautyandthecatreview #beautyandthecat #rasianbeauty #supergoop #bluemercury #shimmershade #sephorasale #abcommunity #skincareaddiction #butfirstsunscreen #veryimportantplaces
