About

Hi Frans, I’m Amy. I’m 25 years young and I’m from Toronto, ON, Canada. I absolutely love cosmetics, exercising and eating. I use a wide range of beauty products from the drugstore, Asian cosmetic brands and also high end. I don’t judge however I am very cautious of what I use and purchase simply because my skin is very sensitive. I work in an office job but I always find time to keep myself updated with the latest beauty trends & product launches. Although I know many people would feel more comfortable with neutral tones, I always like experimenting and playing around with everything that I own.

My Skin Type:

  • Combination – Oily T Zone but extremely dehydrated
  • Acne Prone
  • Sensitive
  • Fair-Light with yellow undertone skin tone
  • Shades: NC15, Estee Lauder 1W1/Bone, YSL BD20
  • BB Cushion Shades: Shade 21

Social Media Platforms (Follow me!):
I post daily on my Instagram and also post stories on skincare/makeup reviews and food adventures!

Fun facts about me:

  • I have fantastic vocal recognition – If I hear your voice often, I am able to distinguish if whether it’s you or not
  • I work in the medical administrative field
  • Cooking is not my forte but I still try
  • I am an ambivert, which means I am a hybrid between an introvert and an extrovert
  • When I was 11 years old, I would play Neopets and that actually inspired me to be a little graphic designer

Products I've been enjoying and one nay product, that just did not work for me. 👌🏻🍯 . • youth to the people green tea spinach cleanser - this is my go-to morning and evening cleanser. Don't be fooled by how full this looks, I've went through a total of 11 deluxe sizes to make it to the big guy. I know, crazy but when sephora was offering it as their gwp and pt perk rewards, it was too hard to turn down. 💚 . • mellow naturals clarifying serum - this is a staple, I've used this on my skin as a spot treatment and it did a superb job controlling and reducing the size of my raised, inflamed skin. 💚 . • keep cool soothe serum - I really appreciate the lightweight gel texture this has and really is hydrating~ This is a staple serum, I'm going to be very sad when I'm finished with it because look at these stickers! The stickers are only given to influencers so even if I repurchase this off jolse, there won't be the stickers. NuUuUu~💚 . • keep cool soothe cream - The soothe line has been so impressive and I love their toner and serum so much! I really enjoy how mild and non irritating this is, it calms down my skin while protecting my barrier. This isn't a cream that I apply directly on my face without layering products. I find it works best when applying your skincare routine in layers and this would be somewhere near the end to seal in all the products and moisture. 💚 . • borntree lemon tea tree blackhead nose pack - I liked their bubble nose pack so I gave this one a shot. I found this did a nice job clearing out a lot of gunk off my nose without being so drying. 💚 . • The saem derma plan ultra balm cream - my skin had a few dehydrated moments and even eczema issues, this is something I would use as a fast-relief topical cream. 💚 . The saem Iceland water volume cream - was something I wanted to like because I expected it to be very much like the saem's derma plan's products were effective + mild, I was hoping for the same for this. This is a gel based cream but it has a lot of fragrance in it. I would reccomend this those who do not have sensitive skin towards fragrance and also with oily skin. It's a no for me. 💔 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
What is your currently favourite serum? 🍷 . This is the first palm collaboration I did ~ most of them are on only available for US but luckily this time around, they offered something fantastic for Canada! 🇨🇦 . . Behold... @acaderma 's invisible shield defense serum! This serum provides revolutionary long-lasting daily antioxidant protection and improves skin appearance and vitality. 👌🏻💡 . Claims: 🌸 . • This serum has a cocktail style formula delivers 12 potent antioxidants that protect your skin from free radicals and environmental stress. 🍇 • Contains sesame, peony, summer snowflake 💞 • Targets against free radicals, blue light and pollution 🍇 . . How I use this💡 . I specifically use this at night, you can use this during the morning as well. After double cleansing and toning, I apply this serum on. I like to layer my serums and go from light to thicker consistencies. This has a really lightweight, watery texture to it so I would apply this first out of my other serums. 👌🏻 . . Thoughts💡 . I found this serum really mild and did not irritate my skin. There is also no detectable scent for this. Because the texture is so lightweight, it's really comfortable to wear whether it's under makeup or layered in your evening skincare routine. I'm going to continue to use this and will update you guys with my thoughts on this. I'm very excited to see the long-term benefits this has to offer for my skin! 👌🏻💖 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #glassskingoals #joinpalm #femfeed #palmbffs #acaderma #365inskincare #igtopshelfie #naturalskincareproducts #rasianbeauty #smoothandporeless #kbeautyunicorns #glowyskin #skincaretips #abblogger #naturalproducts #skincaretreatment #nomorewrinkles #goinggreen #scientificallyproven #poweredbynature
What was your biggest beauty splurge? 💞 . Who doesn't adore beautiful packaging? Some things are worth splurging on, some are not. I finally caved and got this @ctilburymakeup lovegasm palette because look at this packaging! It's probably the most beautiful product I own as of now. 🎀 . I'm having trouble picking which fragrance to go with for today. I'm leaning more onto the D&G L'imperatrice because it's perfect for summer! If you want to smell like a basket of fruits, fresh.. you should look into getting this. I had to get several samples at sephora to justify my purchase. 💖 . I'm sure you're curious of the @smashboxcosmetics crystalized highlighter and it's the perfect pinky, lilac toner highlighter. I'm kinda over my abh moon child and Aurora palettes and have been reaching for this a ton. Plus, look at this bold and blined out packaging. 💖 . After months of contemplating, I got the @diormakeup lip glow. @myglowguide influenced me to get these and they're totally worth it! They leave the prettiest tint on the lips and is super long wearing. 💞 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #rasianbeauty #beautyflatlay #prettythings #igtopshelfie #luxuryproducts #abaesthetics #abmagic #kbeautyunicorns #abcommunity #boujeebeauty #chanelbeauty #kbeautylovers #canadianbeautyblogger #kbeautyaddict #kbeautyblogger #kbeautyblog #luxurybeauty

Who doesn't love cute products? 💖 . I am one of the newest members of the #daisygang ~ @daisyglocosmetics is a K-Beauty shop that sells a wide variety of products from skincare to makeup. If you like what you see here, please check out their website! . The products they sent to me to try out were.. 💖 . . 📌 @theskinfood peach cotton toner - this is a lightweight, watery toner. For those of you who have dehydrated or dry skin, you are likely to enjoy this because it's very moisturizing and helps control excessive sebum with it's powder. . 📌 @missha.official x line friends choco bear lip plumping balm - this is the cutest balm I own simply because of the packaging and the balm has little flexes of multi-dimensional glitters. They glitters are not chunky at all ~ I didn't notice any plumping results however, it's a really cute lip balm to have! . 📌 @banilaco_official this is probably the best sun stick I have tried simply because of it's undetectable, velvet soft finish. It feels like nothing on the skin! Super lightweight, comfortable to wear and easy to reapply. I did not break out from this and would reccomend this to those of you who are interested in a lightweight spf. . 📌 Missha x line friends choco bear blusher stick - this formula is so soft and creamy, blends seaminglessly in the skin without any patchyness. It's a very wearable, everyday shade. It pretty much lasts all day and doesn't fade away like some other cream blushers do. It's a winner! Plus, cute packaging!! 💖 . *the cushion and etude house soda lip gloss are not included, I added them to the photo to make it extra cute 🎀 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #kbeautylovers #kbeautyproducts #spffirst #prgifted #kbeautymakeup #kbeautyproduct #daisyglocosmetics #asianbeautyproducts #asianbeautyblogger #asianbeautyskincare #rasianbeauty #abcommunity #kbeautyunicorns #abblogger #skincarejunkie #365inskincare #linefriends #beautycollection

Thank you so much @bliss for sending these amazing goodies my way! I've already tried them out last night and cannot wait to follow up with you guys with a review ~ 🍉 . Bliss isn't available in Canada so you would have to purchase their products off their website or Amazon. 🍉 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #igtopshelfie #watermelonskincare #prgifted #skincarecommunity #kbeautyunicorns #skincareobsessed #365inskincare
If you could have ONE season for the rest of the year? What would that be?🍁🍂 . For me, it's all year round fall. I absolutely love fall because it's just perfect for me! I can wear cute sweaters and my combat boots! No bugs or heat. Those are the two reasons why I dislike summer btw, lol. 🍂 . Hooray! Looks like I was blessed with pretty sunlight for these shots 😏 here are some of pretty products I have in my collection~ 💖 . 🎀 P R O D U C T S 🎀 . 📌 @beccacosmetics Shimmering Skin Perfector - I got this beauty when it was on sale at sephora and it was one of the best decisions I made because it's stunning! You can use these as highlighters or even eyeshadows! . 📌 @laneigeca Delight Pop Quad Eyeshadow - one of my favourite eyeshadow quads to travel with. It's super versatile and easy to use with and without brushes! Yes, you can use your fingers applying this on and it works just as fine! . 📌 @natashadenona Mini Diamond Duo - this is beautiful, I know ND products are on the pricier side but this is worth getting and trying! It allows you to try and get a feel of her product before committing to a full size! I know I'll be getting a full size real soon! . 📌 @Cosmeist @plumppink_official Lip Gloss - this is gorgeous! It's my one favourite gloss x lip plumping serum products. It doesn't burn nor is it sticky. It's the perfect gloss and layers beautifully over pretty much every lip product underneath! . 📌 @touchinsol_official Tic Toc - not my favourite primer, I prefer the no poreblem primer however it is pretty and fun to use! . 📌 @glowrecipe Watermelon Glow Moisturizer - the perfect gel, lightweight moisturizer and ideal for summer! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #beautyflatlay #abcommunity #kbeautyunicorns #abaesthetics #abblogger #rasianbeauty #365inskincare
If you could only pack 5 things for in your travel bag, what would they be? 🥭 . Mine would be spf pressed powder, spf, eyebrow pomade, dry shampoo and facial mist! 💖 . Here are some products I have been enjoying. Some you have seen already such as the @limese_official supertasker cream, @keepcool_global soothe serum and the @cakebeauty dry shampoo. 💖 . Some new faces in my collection 🌙 . @subibeauty reached out to me and offered to send me their pimple patches. Their packaging is absolutely stunning and the packet it came in was also holographic as well. There are a total of 18 patches and are #crueltyfree . I find their really thin and hardly noticeable on the skin. They're comfortable and do not slide off. These can be worn with makeup but I like to wear my pimple patches at night. Slide to see the #textureshot for #texturetuesday ~ if you're interested on seeing the results, please check out my story! 🌙 . I just tried the @ohk_life HA with Vitamin B3 and Sea Kelp the other day and it's such a lovely mask. It's vegan, gluten and sulphate free! It gives my skin a pack of hydration and leaves it appearing more plump and soft to the touch! I would reccomend you all to try this mask! 🌟 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #kbeautyunicorns #beautyflatlay #abcommunity #abaesthetics #abblogger #beautyreview #365inskincare #skincaredaily #igtopshelfie #haircareproducts #skinthusiast #kbeautyobsessed #skincareproducts #kbeautylover #abmagic #canadianbeautyblogger #kbeautyblog #skincarelove #skincareregimen
Hello, hello dear friends! ☀️ . What do you look for in a bb cream/foundation? 💖 . I'm back with a mini review and this time it will be the peripera INK skin tint in shade number 2. I normally am shade 21 for most bb creams but shade number 1 seems far way too light for me. There is 30ml of product and has SPF50+ PA++++. It ranges between 10 ~13 dollars varying where you buy it but it's relatively affordable! ♡ @cosmetic_jolse has this on sale for only 8.93 USD right now! 🍋 . The first thing I noticed when I dispense this out was how watery the consistency was but the coverage for this is quite pigmented. I would say the coverage is between light to medium, it had a natural stain finish and last through 9 hours of wear. It did not separate or oxidize and looked pretty much the same at the end of the day. ☀️ . There is a scent to this however it does not linger and goes away after 15 minutes. It has a powdery-floral scent to it, which I find quite pleasant and smells nice! ☀️ . I'm quite picky with what I look for in a foundation/bb cream so I was quite happy to see this met my expectations and worked wonders for me! I would say this comparable to the nars sheer glow x tarte rainforest of the sea foundation but for a fraction of the cost. ☀️ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . *kindly gifted to me 💖 . #abcommunity #kbeautyblog #beautyflatlay #kbeautylover #kbeautyunicorns #abaesthetics
Do you like subscription boxes? ☀️ . Joahboxx is a KBeauty and KSkincare subscription box service that allows you to try out new products. Each month, those who are subscribed to this service will receive 5-7 full size products and they can valued up to $60-$100. 🙌🏻💖 . I was excited when @joahboxx wanted to work with me again ~ The last box I shared with you guys was the March box. The box I will be sharing with you today is their May box. ☀️ . Products 💖 . • Kicho Blending Tool ☀️ • Chica Y Chico Liquid Glitter Eyeshadow in No. 2☀️ • Thank You Farmer Light Sun Essence ☀️ • Da Mior Beauty Inside Bamboo Sheet Mask ☀️ • W. Lab 3 Step Hair Steam Mask ☀️ . . . My thoughts of this month's box: 💖 . I really liked the @thankyoufarmer light sun essence for how lightweight it was and it wore beautifully all day without pilling, leaving any white cast or residue. I also like the @kichocosmetics blending tool and it makes contour application a lot easier, this is ideal for those who are in a hurry during the morning. The RiRe liquid glitter eyeshadow was really nice, it's a fantastic eyeshadow topper. I was kind of expecting it to have multi dimensional glitters but instead it's just silver glitters. Out of the 2 sheet masks I recieved, I've only tried the hair steam mask and it was quite an experience because I personally don't use hair masks in this kind of format so it was something new to try out. As a result, my hair was soft to the touch and smelled really nice after using it. I would reccomend this box to those who are interested in trying out new K-Beauty products! 💖 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #sanrio #pompompurin #beautyflatlay
What do you look for in a sunscreen? Does white cast bother you? ☀️ . I got the sun aqua tone up sunscreen specifically for the packaging however, I found it giving me a weird lavender and white cast everytime I used it. I'm relatively fair so tone up products usually work for me but the issue I'm having with this is that it does not blend that well into the skin. I've already used this for maybe 5-6 times because I'm not crazy about the finish and how it looks on the face. 😨😱🍋 . I'll be playing around with it again today with no foundation to see how well it performs. Please look okay. 😱🙌🏻 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #beautyflatlay #abcommunity #kbeautyblog #igtopshelfie #abaesthetics #kakaofriends #abaesthetics #kbeautyunicorns #kbeautylover #canadianbeautyblogger #kbeautyblogger #dewyskin #abblogger #kawaiiaesthetics #skinthusiast #kbeauty #prettythings #glowingskin #365inskincare #cutemakeup #spffirst
Happy Friday, fridays! How do you treat your acne? 😱🌿 . Here is a pretty green spread with 2 products that I have been enjoying behind the scenes~ introducing @mellownaturals , a cruelty-free, luxury and natural skincare company based in Thailand. They believe in only using quality and water-based ingredients that are safe, non-toxic, effective and sustainable. All of their products are free of alcohol, paraben, silicone and PEGs. 🍵 . This is probably the first product I grab when I have a raised bump on my face simply because it's so lightweight in texture and absorbs easily into the skin. I really don't like to apply creams as a topical when I have a raised bump and prefer to use a serum/patch instead. The main ingredient for this are Kuansing Medicinal plant extracts that have amazing anti-bacterial properties and also reduce the appearance of inflammation. Pine bark extract is also another ingredient they have in here that protects the skin against irritants and salicylic acid that penetrates into the skin. It also does a superb job balancing out my skin! 🌿 . I've been reaching for the hydration drops a lot as my final step to my skincare routine to lock in all my skincare products. It's a lovely facial oil that gas a beautiful cocktail of antioxidants, vit A+C+E, salicylic acid and omega-3+6. The key ingredients are organic argan oil and strawberry seed oil. There is no noticeable artificial scent to this and you only need about 2 drops to cover the entire face. My skin feels refreshed and nourished! 🍓🌿 . These products were kindly gifted to me, all opinions are my own~ 🌿 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #abcommunity #kbeautyaddict #skincaregoals #cutethings #prettythings #bloggersca #skincarenatural #365inskincare #igtopshelfie #skincareregimen #kbeautyunicorns #igskincare #rasianbeauty #canadianbeautyblogger #greenaesthetic #greenbeauty #skincarejunkie #abaesthetics  #skinthusiast #glowingskin #kbeautyblogger
