Beauty of Joseon Red Bean Refreshing Pore Mask review

I have been on the hunt for a good pore cleansing mask for quite some time, but it has been hard to find one that not only works but doesn’t dry out my skin or cause other problems. Thankfully, I found Beauty of Joseon!

This is a really easy to use, traditional mask. After you wash your face, dry your face and then apply the mask. You leave it on for 10-15 minutes and then wash it off. Voila! Clean pores! Plus, my skin felt really good after using it. No dry skin or irritation. Love that!

It is really nice to have found a mask which not only leaves my skin feeling better than before using it, but also cleanses my pores as promised. My nose gets a lot of black heads, and this mask cleaned them out! Plus, my skin felt soft afterwards. Love! I am addicted to this mask! I will use it about once a week to keep my skin squeaky clean.

Want to know the best part? This Red Bean mask by Beauty of Joseon is extremely affordable! It’s way under $50. That might be the best part! It works way better on my skin than many masks priced over $100. So, I am hooked!

You can find Beauty of Joseon Red Bean Refreshing Pore Mask online here.

Sparkling pink manicure for spring 2026

Pink manicure for spring 2026: sparkling Dior nail polish / pink Hermes nail polish /

Pink is hot for spring 2026, not just as an on-trend color, but as a classic spring hue; kinda like florals. haha See what I did there? The Devil Wears Prada 2 comes out in May, and I can’t wait to see it! But. . .I digress. . .we are talking about pink nail polish for spring.

While we wait for Chanel’s spring blue hue and Hermes to release their own spring/summer beauty collection, pink is always fresh and light for the spring season; even if the weather in your part of the world isn’t spring-like yet. This sparkling pink glitter nail polish from Dior’s spring 2026 beauty collection looks fabulous on top of any spring color, but it definitely adds a little va-va-voom to regular pink nail polish. I love the pink sparkling look for spring!

If you already have a pink nail polish in your collection, you can add this spring nail polish from Dior for the full effect, if not, this beautiful Hermes pink/rose is the perfect nail polish for your collection. Love!

Note: The Hermes nail polish shown is Rose Papillon Irise which was limited edition and is now sold out. Rose Coquille is also beautiful and slightly lighter than what I am showing. It too will look fabulous under Dior’s sparkling pink. My links will take you to Hermes Rose Coquille. Of course, any pink will look amazing with Dior Fizzy.

Winter 2026 skin care routine

Winter skin care from top left: day cream / eye cream / night cream / hand cream / body cream / neck cream / face wash /

This winer season hasn’t been as dry as in the past. So, I am keeping the same skin care routine from the fall season, with the exception of moving to a fragrance-free body cream.

As you know, I have been using Revive skin care for well over twenty years. I love their products and can’t praise them enough. If you haven’t tried their skin care, what are you waiting for? I also love their face wash, which is gentle and cleansing. My teens use it too!

Since I love switching up my fragrance each day, this fragrance-free body cream is perfect. It does not compete with my perfume and keeps my skin moisturized. Love it!

Did you change your skin care this winter season? Or did you find your fall routine works perfectly this year?
