TATCHA, as I have often recounted in these virtual pages, is an exquisitely elegant line that creates the finest quality products, and they are always far from ordinary. In fact, everything that this exemplary company conceives virtually attains cult status upon launch. 

When TATCHA sent me their most recent gem, TATCHA BALANCED Pore Perfecting Water Gel Moisturizer, which was created to serve as the perfect canvas for your favorite makeup, they likewise included a Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock print that evokes Katsushika Hokusai's The Great Wave. Its delightful inclusion, and the fact that it was inspired by their new ultra-light moisturizer, was intended as a means by which I could celebrate their newest creation by creating my own work of art! I cannot sufficiently express the extent to which I love TATCHA. They never cut corners, they always celebrate ritual, they respect history, and they create trail-blazing products that are consistently covet-worthy.  #waterlight #tatcha
