Pores. Pores are a huge problem in my household, pun fully intended. My husband is a model, and he cleans up real nice I guess,
but even with the huge leaps and bounds he’s made with his skin since he’s dedicated himself to a full skincare routine (including good BHA and AHA exfoliants), his pores remain permanently dilated from years of unchecked, overly active oil glands. Because of that, his pores easily get clogged with debris, and he needs a little extra help to keep them looking nice for photoshoots. We’ve both always been big fans of the original Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Clay Mask, it always does a great job of absorbing excess sebum and giving pores a minimized look as a result. Our only complaint was that since it was in a pot and thick as balls, it was messy as hell to apply, and takes a lot of effort to rinse completely.
We ordered the Super Volcanic Clay Mousse Mask, which contains “6,020mg of Super Volcanic Clusters that increases overall efficacy of sebum absorption”. In comparison the Jeju Volcanic Clay Mousse Mask contains 3,000mgs of Jeju Volcanic Clusters. Whatever these little Super Volcanic Clusters are doing, they deserve a raise, because my god, this stuff really sucks up the oil. I’m going to show you a disgusting close up of a before and after of my husband’s nose pores. Be warned, it’s nasty, but it’s dramatic enough to show you how amazingly well this stuff works!
Whaaaaaat! Slay Super Volcanic Clusters!
In addition to it’s superior oil absorption powers, the easy to dispense fluffy mousse formula rinses off with minimal effort in contrast to all the work you have to put in with the original pot formula. I absolutely love this stuff! I typically have sensitive, dry to normal skin, but it is summertime here and I’ve used this after a hot day outside and it didn’t irritate or dry out my skin at all. It seems to me like it would be gentle enough for others with sensitive skin as well. If you’re a fan of the original Volcanic Pore Mask, I strongly recommend you try out this new version as well! Five out of five refreshed, clean pored turtles!

It’s officially official, we wrote a book! Like an actual one, that you can hold, and buy, and that would look so incredibly cute on your coffee table.
I’m going to take the words from my co-author and soul sister Kerry (Skin & Tonics), and let her give you her take on it before I put in my two cents 😀
One area where Coco and I were particularly fortunate is that we were given full control over the book’s content and design. Being given design control is not typical in the traditional publishing industry, so this was a really big deal for us! Coco art directed the photoshoots, and I handled the layout and information design. We both developed the cover design. The finished product is a beautiful, glossy, full-color, hardcover. If you don’t want to wait for November to order it, you canpre-order it on Amazon and receive it the day it’s released (November 3, 2015).”
I’m so excited to introduce you guys to this book. It’s coming out in Nov, but like Kerry said above, it’s available on Amazon right now for preorder, which you can also access via the link on the sidebar of the homepage. I’m so proud of everything and I’d like to give a special shoutout to the stellar team we put together to bring you this baby. Truly, it was a labor of love, and I think you might love it just as much as we do.And like I said, it’s going to set your coffee table off so very nice 😉
I love a good red lipstick. It’s one of those classic items that comes in so many varieties, that I have to try to separate the wheat from the chaff. From there I narrow it down even further and select my very favourite red lipsticks of the year. Last year it was a the surprising Etude House Minnie Kissing Lips. I’ve tried many contenders, some were great, some were meh, but none of them hit that “Ahhhh yisss, motherfuckin’ red lippie” status that I search for. A few months ago I viewed the Pony’s red lip HyunA tutorial:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rz3rWTQXQgU
Let me tell you, as soon as that video ended I had the Innisfree CreamMellow lipstick shade #8 in my cart and I clicked purchase embarrassingly fast. I had a strong feeling that this was going to be my pick for this year’s favourite red.
I wasn’t wrong.
Immediately out of the box I noticed this bright, clear, blue based red was looking like a glistening christmas light. The colour is intense but mellowed oh so perfectly by the slick, almost gel like hydrating formulation. It glides on slick but still creamy.
It’s a very unique texture and I dig it. It’s moisturizing and light. People battling dry lips this winter will really appreciate this formula. If matte lips are more your thing, be sure and watch the Pony tutorial posted above, she demonstrates how you can have the best of both worlds with this lipstick by adding in a light dusting of some Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Powder. I’m usually a huge matte fan but I went with the full on gloss the first time trying it just to get a feel on how it really wore in it’s natural state.
Unfortunately, with something this emollient you can’t expect a long wear time. Last week I put this to test when I went to have a super casual bowl of ramen to close out the weekend of birthday festivities leading up to my actual b-day. To test out the longevity of a lipstick, ramen is about as heavy of opponent as I can think of, aside from fried chicken (mmmmm, that reminds me, looks like my next lipstick test will be delicious fried chicken). I tried to hold out as long as I could but as soon as I hit my first blot with a napkin, I could tell my lipstick was going to be a goner by the end.
As you can see above, it was almost completely wiped out by the end of the meal. The positive there is it doesn’t leave any funky staining behind should you want to switch to a more subtle shade for some reason later in the day. So plan on sticking this one in your purse if you’re wearing it out because it is going to require touchups throughout the day. That’s no surprise though, so I don’t even really count that as a negative. All in all I absolute LOVE this lipstick and shade, and this is my absolute favourite red of the year. The formula is unique and it feels like a cushy dream on your lips.

I’m starting to lose my mind here because it’s the end of March and we’ve had snowstorm after snowstorm, with no hint of Spring. So, I’m just going to take matters into my own hands and inject some Spring into my life with these cheerful little Neon Color Pots from Innisfree. Available in four shades, I chose #2 Cherry Pink. It’s a wonderfully vibrant blue based neon pink. Really every shade option offered is bright, gorgeous, and en trend right now. They’re the perfect counter to this unseasonably dreary weather. The photo below is very true to colour.
Innisfree Neon Color Pot Rouge is a 2 in 1 product (that I would argue could conceivably be considered a 3 in 1 product if used like this) meant to be used as either a blush or a lip colour. Personally, I say it functions much better as a blush. Due to it’s powdery nature, it does cling like mad to any dry flakes or cracks in the lips. But that’s not to say this is too powdery and dry to blend well. It actually blends great! I think that’s due to the inclusion of Camellia oil, which is a great emollient high in omega-9 fatty acids. And while the colour is bright and vibrant, it does it without being too overpowering and clownish. It’s a great way to work in a pop of beautiful, eye catching, but not overboard colour into your look.
This product is great for quick looks as well. One day I was running low on time and threw this on as a blush and lipstick (it works better if you put on a lip balm base first) with some Tony Moly Backstage Gel Eyeliner and it looked great. I got compliments on it at two different locations. It’s also small so you can throw it in your makeup bag without any worry for touchups. As a blush this lasted throughout the day for me, as a lipstick it did need several touchups but it was cute enough to justify the hassle. Also, if you’re not a fan of the matte lip, just mix some clear gloss on your hand with a swipe of this rouge to get yourself a custom lipgloss. You could also mix this with a dab of your concealer to make a pretty pastel pink. It’s very versatile! It’s also about half of the cost of the more expensive 3CE’s version of this product.
I love the colour payoff, blend-ability, feel, convenience, versatility, and longevity of this little pot. I want to put in an order for every other colour they offer now!
I rate the Innisfree Neon Color Pot Rouge 4 out of 5 turtles
