Setting Powder

setting powder · matte · $29.00 USD · chillab.net
I use this every single day without fail because it does such a good job of just making sure that I don't look overly greasy, shiny, or dewy throughout the day.▶ 20:15–20:18

It is now a certified staple in my routine and now takes the crown as my most repurchased product ever.▶ 21:05–21:12
The only downside I will say for this is that the shelf life is not amazing. I go through one of these in about a month and a half to two months.▶ 21:12–21:16
It's definitely not the cheapest product, but I don't care. It's worth it.▶ 21:24–21:28

I not only love this one because there's zero white cast. It still feels super lightweight that invisible effect that Korean sunscreens do so well at providing.▶ 7:02–7:09
This one adds like a little bit of a moisturizing, nourishing experience without leaving that super gross, greasy sunscreen experience.▶ 7:13–7:17
It has this velvety soft feel to it that still makes your skin look so nice, but just adds that little oomph of moisture that you want during the winter time.▶ 7:25–7:29
It has a ceramide complex, which is so important to get during the winter time because that really helps to restore your skin barrier health and with hydration and nourishment.▶ 7:27–7:37
This one does have a little bit of a heavier base, right? It's more of like a creamy consistency, but it still dries down to like a velvety, invisible appearance, which is why I feel like it's such a good option for winter time.▶ 7:50–7:56

I love gluconolylactone because it's a very gentle but super effective exfoliant and not only getting rid of like dead skin cells on your face, but there's also some research starting to show that it helps with reducing hyperpigmentation and dark spots.▶ 8:49–8:54
Chalk full of so many beneficial ingredients.▶ 9:11–9:15
The ingredients and the experience of this one is so perfect and exactly what I love about Korean skincare. Just chalk full of really beneficial ingredients that are gentle but really effective.▶ 9:26–9:30
Exfoliating your skin during the winter is really important, but you don't want to overdo it with overly powerful exfoliating formulas, which is one of the reasons I love PHA and think that it's perfect for winter time.▶ 9:34–9:40
The gluconolactone in this also helps to absorb moisture from the environment and deliver it into your skin, which is perfect for combating dryness, getting rid of that flakiness, and helping to really nourish your skin's barrier overnight.▶ 9:49–9:54
I just feel like this is really the perfect fit for winter time cuz it's still getting you those like active treating ingredients but not overdoing it.

I love this mask so much.▶ 11:26–11:30
If you struggle with a lot of dryness during the winter, I cannot recommend this mask enough. It is so good and one of maybe like four face masks that I frequently use. So, that's saying something.▶ 11:41–11:48

fragrance · $132 · CHANEL, John Lewis, Dillard's
I have repurchased their travel size set so many times.▶ 15:27–15:35
