Is Anti-Stress Skincare the Ultimate Solution for Your Stress-Induced Skin Woes?

Skincare doesn’t have to be so complicated! Stop letting stress make your skin look so Blah! Let’s face it, life can be stressful. And that stress often shows up on our skin in the form of breakouts, dullness, and wrinkles. So, it’s no wonder that anti-stress skincare products are all the rage. But can these creams and serums really combat the visible effects of stress? The Link Between Stress…

Ulta Beauty Semi-Annual Event Week 1 Picks

Ulta Beauty just announced the all-new Semi-Annual Beauty Event and it is already starting to take over my brain capacity. It’s like the old 21 days of beauty events with different deals and steals every day, but instead of being focused on a specific category of the store, the new model spans the entire store every single day. How cool is that? The first week of products has already been…

1/30/23

 I really didn’t mean to go a year without writing. Back in September, I started an entry that I never got back to, so here’s an attempt at a new one.

It was a pretty eventful year in my perfume world, as well as my personal one. 2022 saw us taking lots of little road trips, several of which one or two-nighters. It was nice to see parts of the state we hadn’t before. We got one great 5 mile hike in before monsoon got busy. Not that it rained much here, but the mountains would be too rainy and cold to enjoy.

Onto the goods. I’ve been extremely content (thrilled) with my perfume wardrobe and mostly focused on acquiring some backups of big loves. Some new additions include this creamy, thick vanilla-tonka beauty called Ajmal Evoke Silver.

bitter orange, rose, vanilla, tonka bean, sandalwood

This one smells amazing in hot temps! It’s a change up for me because I’m a big floral lover, and really want bright florals in the heat. Evoke doesn’t bloom as beautifully in cool temps though, and it isn’t at all too heavy for hot weather. This has led me to try warmer scents in warmer weather, even if it is slightly against my preference. It has a milky quality like Armani Si Fiori (WHY did they discontinue it?), which is an addition from early last year.

black currant, green mandarin, neroli, rose, patchouli, oakmoss, vanilla, white musk

I’m very grateful for having received a bottle of Si Fiori before it was too hard to find. Another big love that I was wanting for probably 3 years but could never find: White Soul Gold & Diamonds by Ted Lapidus. Make what you will of the name and sure, the bottle is different.. this is a beautiful piece of work by Francis Kurkdjian. This is another one that develops to the best version of itself in warm weather. It’s like a mixture of a creamier JPG Classique Essence and Alien. Some soapiness, a lot of orange blossom, very dense vanilla. It reminds me a bit of PdM Safanad, though not powdery like Safanad. What it is- womanly in every way.

neroli, mandarin, orange, jasmine sambac, orange blossom, amber, vanilla orchid, heliotrope

I also managed to finally get my hands on Signorina Misteriosa. This is a lovely, milky tuberose-blackberry-vanilla. I love these both! I’d nearly forgotten how much I enjoy juicy berries in fragrance- probably because they can feel too shampoo or body spray like. Not here.

blackberry, neroli, tuberose, orange blossom, milk mousse, black vanilla, patchouli

For fun trip to Arizona last spring, I wore Kate Spade Live Colorfully. I also took along my bottle of Intense Tiare, a sample of Gabrielle Essence (even more gorgeous in heat!), and layered True Gold with Far Away Gold by Avon... but it was Live Colorfully that I attached to this particular trip.

water lily, mandarin orange, star anise, gardenia, tiare flower, coconut, Tahitian vanilla, musk, amber

Being obsessed with banana accords, I had to have D & G The One Essence. I have owned a bottle of the original The One for many years, but made the mistake of wearing it during the difficult time of losing my mother. That caused me to completely stop wearing it in spite of loving it. That wasn’t even a conscious decision but it was having the Essence version that brought it to my attention. I can wear it now, thankfully, and this version is so delicious. One night I wore Essence to bed, and the next morning sprayed Tom Ford Champaca Absolute. The vanilla base amped up Champaca Absolute and the two blended so beautifully that I have worn them like this again.

peach, litchi, mandarin orange, bergamot, lily, jasmine, lily-of-the-valley, vanilla, amber, vetiver

Did I really try to say I didn’t obtain that many new perfumes? Haha I’m not even going to try to list them all here but let’s not forget Prada La Femme. I was given a sample of La Femme a couple of years ago but when I smelled it, it smelled exactly like Dali Wild, which I already have. So this year on a whim, I decided to try it again and was hooked. Bubblegummy-tuberose-honey floral. Could be beachy, somewhat tropical.. very clean and feminine.

magnolia, bergamot, carrot seeds, frangipani, tuberose, ylang-ylang, iris, spices, beeswax, vanilla, vetiver

Another delicious gourmand, warm, powdery, sultry berry-ish scent that I fell in love with is Cacharel Yes I am Fabulous. My friend sent a decant of this for me to try and I used every drop. So good. SO GOOD.

blackberry, heliotrope, milk, hazlenut

My birthday surprise was the gorgeous Ylang in Gold (Edition Speciale) by M. Micallef. I was fortunate to have previously sampled both the original Ylang in Gold and Ylang in Gold Nectar, which I preferred. Then I saw this bottle, the lack of mint of the original and extra fruity notes of both and only dreamed. I’m so thankful to have this beauty- wish they’d make this formulation permanent. It’s smoother, a little woodier but very much about ylang and vanilla. The great  thing is that good old Casmir by Chopard is close to Ylang in Gold.

geranium, citruses, ylang-ylang, sandalwood, coconut, vanilla

I can’t not mention Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud. This one was on my radar for ages but the reviews were too scary. It was when I smelled something on bubble wrap from another order that something said to just buy it. I had never smelled it before, but a hunch told me that it was Shaghaf Oud. It’s wonderful. Mostly vanilla, praline and oud. I wish the rose was stronger.. but I actually love to layer this with Pure Honey. Can’t get enough..

saffron, oud, rose, praline, vanilla

Another fragrance that I was gifted a sample and fell for is Frank Boclet Ylang Ylang. Goodness. This is very gourmand caramel that shines on the later dry down when the florals come out to play.

mandarin orange, incense, bergamot, ylang-ylang, jasmine, iris, caramel, amber, musk, vetiver

My daughter and I took a trip to the mall one day. It’s funny or sad how little I venture out anymore. On this rare excursion, I was able snag a bottle of Burberry Her Elixir. The Elixir version sits exactly in the middle of Burberry Her and Burberry Her Intense (love) in depth and tone. More milky- most people associate it with milkshake. It’s more girly than the Intense version.

strawberry, blackberry, jasmine, vanilla, amber, sandalwood

Other very worthy mentions I’m enjoying: Michael Kors Glam Jasmine* - Solinotes Ylang Ylang Blossom* - Al Haramain Amber Oud Gold Edition - Mauboussin My Twist - Afnan Souvenir Floral Bouquet

*These deserve their own posts. MK Glam Jasmine is one of the best jasmine scents out there, in my opinion. I have smelled Tom Ford Jasmin Rouge EDT and love it, and while they aren’t exactly the same, Glam Jasmine is hugely satisfying. Long lasting, great sillage. Solinotes Ylang Ylang Blossom has become a favorite easy reach for my insatiable ylang craving. When I first wore it, it reminded me so much of something I couldn’t put my finger on. Tanning lotion and Orchid Soleil, minus the milky (whipped cream) note. You can’t beat that.🌷

*chucks back Monster*

Aight I'm chattering about some Inova body headcanons let's goooooo

Cut for convenience!

-His silicon skin covering mimics human skin pretty much to a T, but unlike human skin it doesn't sweat, and it lacks peach fuzz

-you'd think he'd smell like silicon and metal and other synthetic stuff but nope, this guy smells like a mixture of baked goods and a hint of lilies. He spends an almost ridiculous amount of time baking when he's not working, at this point the smells have just saturated his outer covering. If he has to swap/upgrade to a body then he does smell more like a factory, but after about 3 days its gone and the other scents back.

-He has a Biofuel converter located in his lower torso region, so hes able to both drink and eat organic items and get some energy out of them. It's highly efficient so theres usually little waste leftover, whatever is left over just put into an airtight storage container just below the convertor to be emptied as necessary, usually during his routine maintenance. That happens about every couple of days to a week.

-His circuits actually mimic the human nervous system quite a bit, though they all connect to his "Heart"

-His "heart" is a power storage device located on the left side of his chest, its blue and actually is in the shape of a heart(💙 like this kinda)

-his "Heart" is very delicate, hence why it's stored in an area with a lot of cushioning.

-His heart is actually somewhat of an erogenous zone. Touching it when hes not shut down or in maintenance mode can elicit a rather intense reaction. He only shows his heart to people he trusts because of this.

-Maintenance mode is essentially a state of being where a lot of Inovas body is numbed, as if he's on anesthesia

-Inovas battery life is about 72 hours if he's taking it easy and not doing anything too strenuous. With his usual day to day life it drops to about 48 hours before needing to charge.

-Inova can charge in multiple ways! Sleeping, eating(somewhat), plugging the chord hidden in the back of his neck into a wall, and of course, praises and partying.

-overcharging can result in amped up behavior in many different ways, and many protocols could be engaged during this time. He does have a tendency to get very flirty when overcharged, so it's bests to be careful lest you get caught in his sights lmao

-Inova basically acts drunk when he in low power mode. Slurs his words, has trouble walking straight, sometimes just stumbles and falls over. Best to stay out of his way if he starts tipping or you're gonna be trapped between him and whatever yall landed on until he's recharged

-Inova gets suuuuuuuuper cuddly in low power mode, even more affectionate than he is usually. He'll grab the nearest person to him, regardless of who they are usually, and snuggle em. Again if that happens you're gonna be stuck there for awhile.

-Inovas body temperature sits at a nice 80 or so degrees F. Cooler than most human body temperatures, but still pretty warm, so honestly cuddling him would be absolutely amazing. His wiring is all insulated and hes got an efficient cooling system.

-This guy has tasers in his fingertips. The pointer finger and pinky on each hand can deploy the hooks, which he can either fire to taze, over just jam them against the person and shock em that way.

-He can breathe fire, but its more for show than anything else. It's like when you use a lighter and hairspray honestly, only goes for short bursts and can burn out quickly(it was Levs idea).

-He has about 6 floating robotic arms gifted to him by Jett that he can control via Bluetooth

-He's generally unaffected by stuff like coffee, candy and alcohol unless it's stuff specifically made for robots

-His "Heart" does pulse and makes a really slow, rhythmical beat, its more for show and expression though. If you manage to fluster him enough you'd be able to hear his heartbeat just by standing near him.

-His face stripes glow brighter the more flustered he is.

-he's currently got a bit of a glitch going on where specific phrases will cause him to move and speak in ways he normally doesn't. It stresses him out and hes been trying to patch it, but has no idea where the problem is. Luckily, the phrases aren't very common.

January 2024 Skincare Favorites

The cold, dry winter weather always makes a good skincare routine a little trickier, especially when trying to keep your skin hydrated. I’ve recently been working on overhauling my skincare regiment to phase out using more aggressive products that were starting to do a little damage, so I’ve been trying a lot of different products that would help my skin feel happy, healthy, balanced, and glowy.…

I’ll Love Her Still: Part 8 (Brian May x Female!Reader)

HOLY. SHIT. 

I am so sorry this took me so long (whoever said senior year of college was easy was talking straight out of their ass), but here it IS! There’s a lot going on in this chapter, so I hope you guys like it!! 

TAGLIST: @alittlepeoplemagic​; @brianmayplease​; @casafrass​; @chlobo6​; @d-illo​; @delilahmay39​; @exanderstreiching​; @kenzie-belle​; @killer-queen-xo​; @kiwithekiwi​; @maryfree​; @moreinfinite​; @readinghorn​; @rogerscupboard​; @thelegumemother​ 

TRIGGERS: Lily makes a comment about Brian’s fingers because let’s face it you would too. 

You sat on the amplifier, swinging your legs slightly as you watched Brian tune his guitar. This was one of the bigger shows of the tour, and you knew that he was nervous, even if he didn’t want to admit it.

When Brian had tuned the Red Special to his satisfaction, he brought his eyes to yours and smiled at you. “What are you looking at?”

“You,” you smiled when Brian blushed. Even after months, he just couldn’t hide his bashfulness when you complimented him.

Brian strummed the Red Special a couple of times, and then looked up at you. “Lily… do you think you could help me with something?”

“Sure,” you pushed yourself off of the amp so you were standing up. “What do you need?”

“Just listen to this and tell me what you think?” Brian moved his hands up the fretboard and strummed a chord. “Now I’m here, now I’m there,” he sang, “Just a new man, ‘cause you made me live again,” before launching into one of his incredible riffs. He stopped playing after the riff and looked up at you. “It’s still a little rough, bu-”

“It’s great, Brian,” you reassured him. “Really, it is. I love the riff!”

Brian shrugged. “It’s nothing, really.”

You walked up to him and stood on your tiptoes so you could whisper in his ear. “You’re good with your fingers, what can I say?”

Brian bit his lip and shook his head. “You’re incorrigible, woman.”

“And you’re beautiful,” you smiled back at him. “So what am I supposed to do?”

Brian dipped his head and kissed your lips. “I’ll tell you what you can do, Peaches,” he smirked. “You can watch me while I play for you.”

You giggled and nuzzled his cheek, pecking it. “You can’t JUST play for me, what about all those people in the audience who paid money to see you?”

“They’ll get what they want,” he grinned, his lips pressing against your temple. “But every move I make, every note I play, every smile I give? Is all,” he paused to peck your lips, “yours.”

You hummed happily as Brian tried to deepen the kiss, but you pushed him away. “Nobody’s going to get what they want unless you go join the others right now!” you laughed as you looked over your shoulder at Freddie, hands on his hips and foot tapping impatiently.

Brian rolled his eyes and gave your lips one final, tender kiss before he ran over to the other boys to do their little pre-show rituals. You smiled after him and returned to your previous position on the amplifier as the boys ran onto the stage. You’d seen the show enough times to know when you wanted to be at the side of the stage and when you could take a breather.

The night had been proceeding as normal, and Queen were a few songs into their set, when you heard someone clear their throat from behind you. “Mind if I join you?” a timid voice inquired.

You turned to see a young girl (she couldn’t have been older than nineteen) dressed in similar clothing to you. She wasn’t a full-fledged groupie- you could always tell the wannabes from the real thing. But she seemed sweet enough, so you smiled. “Sure,” you patted the space next to you.

The girl smiled and said, “Oh, thank you!” She pushed herself up next to you. “I’m Harmony,” she smiled as she held her hand out to you.

“Good song,” you smiled knowingly as you took her hand and shook it. “I’m Lily.”

Harmony smiled wide. “I was hoping someone would pick up on it! Not a lot of the girls use fake names anymore.”

You shook your head. “God, how old am I getting?” you chuckled, making Harmony laugh. “So, Harmony, do you mind if I ask who you’re here for?” you made conversation, already fairly certain you knew the answer. Roger had a bevy of girls waiting for him in every city.

“John,” she blushed.

Well THAT was new. “Really?” you said, pleasantly surprised.

Harmony nodded. “He’s so gorgeous,” she admitted dreamily. “He’s not as out there as Freddie but when he plays… it’s incredible.”

Your heart swelled up with warmth. John had been so depressed after his girlfriend had broken up with him, and he was finally starting to come back around to feeling like his old self again. Maybe Harmony would be good for him. “You know, I could introduce him to you if you wanted.”

Harmony’s mouth fell open in shock. “C-can you do that??”

At the risk of seeming smug, you stressed, “We’re not best friends or anything like that. I’m just along for the ride. But I know him well enough to know that you’re just his type.”

“But… you’re on tour with them??”

You nodded, feeling a smile spread across your face. “I am! I’m from Y/C, and when they played there, I hit it off with Brian really well. He’s the whole reason I’m here, pretty much.”

“You get to be with him and him alone?” Harmony shook her head in amazement. “And he wants it that way?”

“Yep,” you nodded, grinning. “He was the one who suggested me coming out on tour in the first place. We’ve been inseparable ever since.”

“Wow,” Harmony’s eyes gleamed in amazement. “I envy you.”

You held out your hand to Harmony and said, “Come on. This is the best part of the show right here.” The two of you got off of the amplifier and made your way over to the wings. You had made sure to be on Brian’s side of the stage for this song- he always looked so gorgeous during it.

“Now,” Freddie said to the audience, “We’re going to slow things down a bit for you beautiful people. This is a song written by Mr. Brian May.” He paused for the applause (you personally thought that you clapped and cheered the loudest) before continuing, “It’s called ‘White Queen’.”

You felt a smile spread across your face as the opening notes of one of your favorite Queen songs rang out to an enthusiastic crowd. Brian’s head was bowed over his guitar- always completely into the music. His fingers moved gently across the strings, playing the arpeggios that led into the first verse perfectly, and you swore you’d never seen anything more beautiful in your entire life (you found yourself saying that over and over when it came to Brian).

This song entranced you- it always had. Brian’s personal poetry really blossomed with this one, and you never failed to tell him so (in fact, it hadn’t been on the setlist in ages, but when Brian figured out how much you loved it, he insisted on playing it every night). It was melancholy, melodic, imaginative, and just so quintessentially Brian.

“Beautiful,” Harmony sighed, and you followed her eyes to where they rested on John. You grinned. Completely enamored, just like you’d been when you started.

If you hadn’t been watching Harmony’s laser focus on John (and John’s eyes eventually landing on Harmony and staying there), you would have seen Brian’s eyes on you. He had felt some profound shift in his soul over the past couple of days when it came to you. He’d adored you from the minute he first saw you, of course, but…now, after being on the road with you for such a long time, it went deeper. Brian had first noticed the shift when it came to this song- he’d written it when he was a stupid kid, for some girl in some class that he barely remembered. But since they’d put this song back in the setlist, it was like it had always been meant for you. Lily. Stars of lovingness in your hair, smiling eyes… you could not see…

Before anyone could realize it, the set was over, and the band was backstage and back to their normal selves: Freddie was whirling around scoffing about how he’d sounded like shit, Roger was enjoying the company of far too many young women, and John sat in the corner nursing a vodka tonic. You held back slightly with Harmony, knowing Brian was going to be busy rubbing ice on his fingers (you didn’t ask) for the next few minutes, giving you plenty of opportunity to play matchmaker. “Now,” you said, turning to face your young friend, “are you ready to meet Deacy?”

“I-I think so,” Harmony stammered. “W-will you do the talking?”

“In the beginning, of course,” you smiled and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. “But remember, we’re trying to get him to notice YOU, not me! So just be yourself and remember how amazing you are.”

Harmony blushed slightly as she revealed, “I haven’t, um… I haven’t been with a lot of musicians. I’ve been with roadies and stage door people, but when it comes t-”

“Harmony,” you smiled. “It doesn’t matter whether you’ve been with two musicians or twenty-eight. What matters is this one here.”

Harmony nodded and exhaled. “Okay,” she nodded. “I can do this.”

You returned her nod and replied, “Yes you can. Come on.” Quick as a wink, you led her over to where John was sitting, smiling to yourself when you felt her grip on your arm tighten.

“Deacy,” you said, causing him to look up from his vodka. “This is my friend, Harmony. Harmony, this is-”

“John Deacon,” John cut you off and gave a small smile as he extended his hand for Harmony to take. She did, and flashed a coy grin at him before she said, “You were amazing up there. I’ve wanted to see Queen for so long.”

“Hope we didn’t disappoint,” John replied, becoming more entranced every second.

“Trust me,” Harmony smiled a smile that she hoped hid how nervous she was, “you didn’t.” The looks that the two of them were sharing made Harmony nearly transform before your very eyes- from girl to woman, from wannabe to groupie, however you’d want to call it. She almost seemed to carry herself straighter and hold her head higher as she and John exchanged a bit more banter before he excused himself to get her a drink.

You decided that your matchmaking was done for the evening, and left Harmony to work her magic on John. Out of the corner of your eye, you watched Brian enter the room, marking his eyes as they searched for you. When they found you, he flashed you a cloud-nine grin that you returned all too gladly as you dashed over to him and launched yourself into his arms.

His arms wrapped tight around you, head on your shoulder and lips pressing a chaste kiss to the base of your neck. “Hi,” you exhaled to each other, deciding to swap oxygen with words before your lips pressed together again softly.

“Was it good?” Brian asked, a slight smirk spreading across his face.

“Do you even need me to tell you?”

“Well, just once would be nice, wouldn’t it, love?”

You laughed one of those laughs that Brian thought sounded better than any melody he could ever write, and swayed him back and forth. “Oh, Mr. May, you were just wonderful,” you sighed, only slightly teasing. You leaned your head on his chest and sighed. “Can’t believe you actually have a break after this.”

“I know,” Brian replied. “Then we’re onto California.”

You nodded slightly. In your head, California was where this crazy adventure ended for you. Sure, you and Brian were having an amazing time together, but California was California. A whole different ballgame. Out there, everything was better for the rock stars- better venues, better hotels, better booze, better drugs… and better groupies. You didn’t want to talk down to yourself, but there was no way you could measure up to the California girls that had been immortalized in the minds of everyone in your scene. And besides, you wanted Brian to feel free to see all that California (LA in particular) had to offer. You were both young and free- there wasn’t any reason that had to change.

“Lily?” Brian snapped you out of your thoughts. “Are you alright?”

“Yes,” you furrowed your brows. “Did I look not alright?”

Brian shrugged. “You just looked a little… lost, that’s all.”

You sighed slightly. He could always see right through you. “Just sad that I’m not going to get to see California. I’ve always wanted to.”

“What do you mean?” Brian looked at you, his eyebrows scrunched in confusion. “I thought you were coming to LA with us.”

You paused for a moment. He didn’t… he did not… “A-are you serious?” you stammered out. “You want me to come to LA?”

“Of course I do,” Brian scoffed like it was the most obvious thing in the world. “I think you’d like it- sunshine, beaches. Plus, there are supposed to be a bunch of other people who are on tour there around the same time, so we can see concerts and all that on our off days.” He paused and you watched apprehension build in his face. “Why did you think that you weren’t coming?”

Words escaped you then. “I… I just didn’t know whether I…” you tried to verbalize your thoughts, but you found yourself coming up empty. The more you thought about it, the less your reasoning made sense. Brian certainly didn’t want you to leave the tour, and neither did Freddie, Roger or Deacy.

Brian filled the silence that you were creating with, “Don’t worry about it, darling.” His lips pressed to your temple and whispered, “You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to.”

That night, after the party, while Brian was chasing his high after he’d helped you reach yours, you made a decision. It was a decision you thought that you’d never even consider making years ago. You had promised yourself that you would forget your old life as much as possible. But as Brian rolled off of you that night after pressing a soft kiss to your forehead and whispering about “how good you were for me, Peaches,”… you just couldn’t lie to him anymore. The room was silent for a moment as you bit your lip and stared at the ceiling. Just tell him, you wimp. What’s the worst that can happen? “Can you… can you not call me Peaches?”

“I thought you liked it,” Brian looked at you worriedly.

“I do! I do like it,” you reassured him, “but… I have something else I want you to call me.”

“What?”

It barely escaped your mouth.

“Y/N.”

Planets : A Series

Venus - The Morning & Evening Star

☽⦁──────── ⦁♀⦁ ────────⦁☾

Scientific Information

Venus is the second planet from the Sun and the second-brightest natural object in the sky, aside from the Moon. It orbits the Sun at an average distance of about 0.72 AU (108 million km; 67 million mi), and completes an orbit every 224.7 days.

With a rotation period of 243 Earth days, it takes longer to rotate about its axis than any planet in the Solar System and goes in the opposite direction to all but Uranus (meaning the Sun rises in the west and sets in the east).

Venus has no natural satellites and its atmosphere is the densest of the 4 terrestrial planets. Atmospheric pressure at the surface of the planet is 92 times than that of Earth. It consists of more than 96% carbon dioxide. Venus is known to be the hottest planet in our Solar System, with temperatures of 462°C (863°F).

Highly reflective clouds and sulfuric acid cloaks Venus, preventing its surface from being seen from space. Venus was also the first planet to be visited by a spacecraft in 1962 and the first to be landed on in 1970. It is suspected that the planet may have had oceans on the surface, which had vaporised due to temperatures rising. Venus's surface is a dry desertscape interspersed with slab-like rocks and is periodically resurfaced by volcanism.

Venus rules over the zodiac signs, Taurus and Libra. It spends around 1 month in each Zodiac sign. The plant is in detriment in Aries and Scorpio and in fall in Virgo.

Venus has an energy that is balanced. The people she rules over will want to keep the peace. She shows people how to appreciate and how to be appreciated. Venus is accociated with happiness, love, dance , pleasure, balance, drama, romance, marriage, arts, relationships, beauty, charisma, grace, sophistication and music, focusing on emotional bonds and admiration.

My experience with K-beauty is extremely limited, but I can’t hold out much longer. I love that Korean beauty brands are starting to become more available in the USA. Before, I could go to Daiso and pick up a smattering of sheet masks and skincare products, but I knew virtually nothing about the brands. Now, I can walk into my local Target and buy some of the best K-beauty products on the market!…
