“I start the day with Fresh soy face cleanser and then I use the Philosophy SPF moisturizer so I don’t get wrinkles. But from day to night I look totally different, during the daytime I usually don’t wear much makeup if any, maybe just some mascara. Right now I have eye shadow on by Charlotte Ronson and I’m all about Fresh sugar lipsticks in plum and rosè. I’ve been really into makeup; once you start hitting twenty-four or twenty-five I think you become more interested in makeup because you start to look old.”

“At nighttime I usually go a bit goth or weird alternative depending on the mood I’m in. I use Benefit’s bad gal mascara in plum because if it smudges, like all mascara does, it kind of looks pink. I have blue eyes so it looks like I have pink eyeliner, which is better than having black all over. Of course I use Bare Minerals on my face. At nighttime I use Bare Minerals bronzer in warmth to carve out my cheekbones pretty drastically. I use this Charlotte Ronson eye shadow in gold, red and black. I smudge it all around my eyes and underneath towards my temples. I have a basic black eyeliner that I use in the corners of my eyes. For my lips I start with some plain chapstick and put some of the brown shadow on top of it so it looks matte brown.”

“I use the Philosophy exfoliating scrub at nighttime. Then I do this thing where I mix their hope in a jar cream with fish oil – the orange scented kind. I was using the unscented oil for a while and the guy I was dating was like, “what’s that smell” which was pretty funny because I said, “Oh it’s just my fish oil.” (laughs) I’m a vegetarian so that’s kind of funny.”

“I used to live in Seoul and I’m obsessed with bath house culture, I love sweating. I went to the bath house in Korea everyday, which is six floors and very intense with a gym and huts for sleeping in the basement. In New Jersey there is a place called King Sauna, which is a serious Korean bath house – it’s awesome. I also like The Face Shop in New Jersey, they have tons of whitening facemasks that I’m obsessed with. This place has hundreds of them and they’re only a dollar to three dollars. The masks make you purer or rejuvenated or hydrated with ginseng. There are so many different kinds, I like to think that they work.”
