Currently trying

Try in future
- Dior Lip Glow Oil
- Guerlain Kiss Kiss Bee Glow Lip Oil
- Clé de Peau Beauté Correcting Cream Veil Primer SPF 21
Tried & didn't work out
- Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask (not moisturizing when lips are already chapped, but otherwise nice texture & comfy on the lips)
- ILIA Skin Rewind Complexion Stick, Ash 10C (I don't like matte)
- COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream (not moisturizing enough)
- Beauty of Joseon Pine Grove Body Wash (Costco Next) (it was lovely, but we want to stick to bars)
- Kosas BB Burst, Light Cool 13 (a bit too pinky and I don't like the visible powdery texture)
- DHC Lip Cream (very moisturizing, but don’t really like how it feels on the lips…)
Notes & preferences
- No niacinamide (makes me red)
- I shouldn't have to do more things to prevent eye shadow fallout
- I like sheer coverage
- I will not maintain a skin care routine that requires more than two steps
- No exfoliating scrubs — tiny bits in the eyes is painful & difficult to remove, and I am not careful enough to avoid this periodically happening (do not forget)
