I’ve always had issues with my acne when I was younger… as an adult I thought I was done with pesky pimples until I was diagnosed last year with a condition that apparently my skin hates. I found skin care products since then and found a skin care regime that works for me! Then… something…
Silicone free Blushes, Bronzers, and Setting Powders
(Last Updated 7/30/18. Will continue to be updated!) Look at my skin. Look at the pattern of my acne. It took going on a skin diet to realize that though the acne around my jawline is hormonal (fluctuates with my medical problems) The acne in the contour of my cheek completely disappeared within a week…
Nyx Liquid Suede Swatches
The Nyx Liquid suede lipstick formula is well hyped online and in the beauty community… It’s affordable, there’s a great shade range, but is it worth it? I wanted to see if I liked the formula. Also, I’m new to lipstick so I always wanted to try different shades, so what better way than to…
Milk Makeup Blur Liquid Matte Foundation Review and Wear Test of a Silicone FREE Foundation
As you may or may not know, finding a liquid foundation that doesn’t have silicone in it is quite a feat. Some of us have a very high sensitivity to silicone products… and anything with dimethicone, cyclopentasiloxane, and a number of other ingredients that fall in the family of silicones, breaks us out terribly. Unfortunately silicone…
Subculture’s Level up?? ABH PRISM Palette. Review and wear test
I feel like Anastasia Beverly Hills dropped the Subculture palette like it was hot. And they dropped this palette…. like it was a secret. Disclaimer: I have only swatched and used the Prism palette, and none of the other ABH palette’s mentioned in this post. Also, this post is very long so if you’re more…
Is it racist to ask “What’s your ethnicity?” “Where are you from?”
Though this is blog is most often a beauty blog, today… RicaIsHungry for knowledge. I wanted to share my thoughts on why asking for someone’s ethnicity can be offensive in certain contexts, and get insight into why some people are very curious on my background… all while not sharing my ethnicity. As an Asian-American growing…
Everyday Eye Tutorial for Monolid/ Hooded Eyes
It took me a hot minute to figure out how to put make up on my eyes. It’s not like I have no idea that I am Asian… but even though I watched tutorial after tutorial, I couldn’t figure out how to make those looks translate on my face and flatter me. I used to…
Want to try expensive skincare? Sephora favorites: Skin wonderland review
When Sephora dropped this skincare favorites box… I had to get it. I saw things I already love, and things I wanted to try. I am a skincare junkie… and that’s how I fixed my acne issues! So you know I’m gonna try everything this box has to offer. For those of you who…
Body image and Hypothyroidism
When I was in Graduate school I was perpetually tired… and I thought it was normal! Constant exams, loans, and studying… who wouldn’t be stressed? I also noticed that my skin started breaking out uncontrollably. Giant cystic bumps, my skin began producing 2x the normal amount of oil… and my usual skincare couldn’t deal with…
Acne patterns and how to prevent them
Honestly… I’m a scientist at heart and I don’t believe that acne on one part of your face can tell you things about your liver, kidneys, other bodily organs…. Exhibit A! Based on the development of the human body there are some areas believed to have similar origins and connections (hence why heart attacks are…
MURAD MattEffect Blotting Perfector: Review of a silicone free primer
If there was a competition for oily skin I would probably win. After my change in medication I became an OIL SLICK… and went from a combo/oily skin type to straight up grease ball. So if there’s a new product, made with good skincare ingredients that claims to mattify… you know I’ll be on…
Hourglass Immaculate Liquid Powder Foundation VS Loreal Infallible Pro Matte
I have yet to find a holy grail foundation product for my oily AND sensitive skin. My pores are easily clogged and I product insane amounts of oil since my hormone medications have changed… I’ve been scouring the interwebs for assistance and this foundation made it on sooo many lists. I think this will be…
