Missha Not Over You is one of six fragrances in the Leau de Missha Eau de Parfum Collection. Typically Asian brands do a lot of powder-y scents with rose as a main note. I dub them eau de toilet paper because many smell like Charmin. Sorry…but it is true.

Missha is one of the few brands that actually develop complex wearable fragrances that are FAR from eau de Charmin smelling.

Let’s take a look at Not Over You!

Although I have plenty of favs I admit that Heroine Make Eye Makeup Remover tops my HG (holy grail) eye makeup remover list. So much so that I really wish it was something I could easily purchase in my local drugstore as going out of my way to stock up on it from Japan is such a chore sometimes.

Seriously, why can’t someone create a formula like this in our local drugstores?

Sephora 8 HR Mattifying Moisturizer SunScreen SPF 20 ($22) arrives at just the right time as my skin is starting to go a little combo. Although I have drier skin when the weather warms up my forehead starts to shine like a bright star and I get a fair bit of oily around my t-zone.

I decided now was a good time to try this because we’re SLOWLY seeing some good weather here in New York. Hell yesterday it was a whooping 90!

Let’s take a look!

Sephora Pro Visionary Perfecting Concealer Brush #101 ($24) is one of several new Pro Visionary Brushes that Sephora has recently added to their general catalog.

I must admit the Pro Visionary Perfecting Concealer Brush is a tempting little morsel of a brush simply because I adore the Sephora Pro Airbrush Concealer Brush #57. I assume that this new brush is just as incredible as that one so yes, I was very tempted to check it out.

Here are my thoughts.
