Review: Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence & All in One Cream

$
0
0
This review is long overdue but it's finally online! Today I am reviewing two products from Cosrx: Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power and the Advanced Snail 92 All in one Cream. That's right, it is all about snail products today! It took me a while to test these 2 products since it always takes a while to see or feel any results with essences and creams. I have been starting to use these two products in January 2016 and I can finally share my thoughts about it (6 months later). Keep on reading today's blogpost if you are interested.


.
WAIT? WHAT? SNAILS IN MY SKINCARE PRODUCTS?
Snail products aren't new and there used to be a big hype about snail products, and now more and more companies starting to create products that includes snail slime. There are even spas where you can get a snail facial treatment! Many people think it's weird to apply a product with snail slime onto the face, but hey if it works, why not be open and give it a try? Why is snail mucin that great? Snail slime is a nice natural moisturizer in general. Its antioxidant-rich, contains collagen, elastin, stimulates cell renewal, it is great for anti-aging, it repairs the skin more quickly since it has wound healing abilities as well. It has many more other benefits. Sounds interesting isn't it?

COSRX ADVANCED SNAIL 96 MUXIN POWER ESSENCE 
Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence is created from nutritious, low-stimulation filtered snail mucin in order to improve damaged skin. The filtered snail mucin contained in Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence penetrates under the skin into the invisible, working against damaged skin. This 96%-concentrate ingredient keeps you skin moist all day and finds your lost skin vitality. It contains 100ml of product and is suitable for all skin types.


.
INGREDIENTS 
As you an see, it contains 96% concentrate of snail mucin, which is A LOT! The other 4% contains small amounts of bland non-irritating moisturizing agents as you can see below.

source: jolse.com 

HOW TO USE
The product comes in a nice tube where you can easily get the amount out that you prefer. I usually use 1-2 pumps per usage. Apply it on the forehead and nose, lightly tap it into the skin. Spread a generous amount on the cheeks until it soaks into the skin. You can also use it under your eye area, just apply it by tapping it in lightly and that's it. This is an essence, so try to add this it into your skincare routine, I usually use this after my toner.

TEXTURE 
This clear essence is moisturizing, has a slimy texture to it and has no scent at all! It feels lightweight on the skin, sinks into it quickly. It's easy to spread and has a bit of a cooling effect after you apply it.


.
FINAL THOUGHTS 
Overall, I really like this essence. It's moist, it eases dryness, calms irritation and it makes my face feel smooth after application. At the description it says that the filtered snail mucin contained in the essence penetrates under the skin into the invisible, that works against damaged skin. And I can say THAT IS TRUE! Weird enough I can really feel and see that this helps with small pimples which are under the skin. When I feel a small pimple coming up which is still under the skin and I use this product after, the pimple just goes away after 2 days. This helped with healing of my pimple scars as well. A very good product I would say!

COSRX ADVANCED SNAIL 92 ALL IN ONE CREAM 
In the same Cosrx line they also have a snail cream. The Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream is a nourishing moisture cream with snail secretion filtrate at 92% content from living Korean snails. This cream consists of skin-activation components, preventing skin damage and available for use immediately after facial wash, without skin or lotion. It contains 100ml of product.





.
INGREDIENTS
Just like the essence, it also contain 92% of snail goo in it. It also includes many other ingredients to make the skin moist.
source: jolse.com

HOW TO USE 
After cleansing, take a very small amount and spread it all over the face. A little goes a long way. You should use this as your last step in your skincare routine. Tap with your fingertips to let it absorp into the skin. You can also let it absorb by covering your face with your palm 2-3 times.

TEXTURE
This cream is white and scentless. This has a gel-like & slimy texture to it, which is easy to spread. It sinks into the skin quickly and doesn't feel greasy on the skin.


.
FINAL THOUGHTS 
It contains 92% of snail goo, which is a large amount. It feels moist on my skin and calms irritation. However, somehow this product worked less good on me. It didn't have the same effect as the essence. I usually use this at night and it always makes my skin very oily looking in the morning. Don't get me wrong, if you want to use this as a moisturizer, it's a good product for that and this also worked on my dry skin. However, other than being moist on my skin, I couldn't feel or see any changes after using this, unlike the essence where I could really feel and see that it renewed my skin faster. (I used this product separate from the essence, but I also tried it together with the essence to test it.)

WHERE TO BUY?
I received these two products from Jolse.com for review purposes. The Cosrx power essence is sold for USD$16.15 and the Cosrx all in one cream is sold for USD$17.85. Well priced products I would say which are affordable.

WOULD YOU GIVE THESE PRODUCTS A TRY?

note: these products were sent to me for review purposes, but this didn't affect my opinion about the products, see disclaimer.

Review: The Face Shop CC Intense Cover Cushion My Other Bag

$
0
0
The Face Shop collaborated with My Other Bag and created this CC Intense Cover Cushion with an unique design. I received this CC Cushion from BBCosmetic.com for review purposes and I got the one that's called Jackie. This one comes in 3 shades: V103, V201, V203 and today I will be reviewing shade V201 Apricot Beige. This CC Cushion is great to cover blemishes with, it contains SPF and has many more benefits. Want to know more about this CC Cushion? Keep on reading today's blogpost. I will also share a coupon code of 10% OFF in this blogpost!



.
THE FACE SHOP x MY OTHER BAG - JACKIE 
According to the description on their website it has a great coverage - it covers blemishes and gives an equal tone to the skin, leaving a flawless skin. This CC Cushion contains rose oil to give vitality to dull skin and lavender oil for a bright finish. It reduces wrinkles and contains hyaluronate acid to provide plenty of moisture for your skin. It contains SPF50+ PA+++, so you can wear it to protect the skin from the sun as well. It has 15gram of product. They came up with 2 other designs, check out the promo here:
.









.
HOW TO USE 
Take the puff and tap lightly for adhering. Tap more on the area where more coverage is needed. TIP!  If you have used it for a while and you notice that there is almost no product anymore, flip the cushion and you can use it again. Otherwise, you can also purchase refills and put it in this case.



.
SWATCHES & COVERAGE 
This is shade V201 Apricot Beige. This CC Cushion has a light fresh fruity citrus scent (not overwhelming at all) and is for people with a yellow undertone. It has a medium coverage and is able to cover light spots or marks on the skin. You are able to apply more but it does look cakey if you do.


As you can see below its able to cover up my spots lightly. It's still visible but not too obvious. It covers up my redness really well, giving it an equal complexion.

.
WHERE TO BUY?
This was sent to me by BBcosmetic.com for review purposes and they are selling it for USD $18,50. If you are interested in the ingredient list of this product you can have a look on their webshop. This webshop is selling products of many brands from April Skin, HERA, Holika Holika to VDL, O Hui and many many more. Check out which brands they have more here, their assortment is really large! If you are planning to get anything from that website, you can save some money by using my coupon code LZG213U03 to get 10% OFF!

FINAL THOUGHTS 
The reason why I wanted to try this CC cushion is because of the intense coverage that it promises and also because I haven't found a cushion foundation yet that I am really happy with. I love the idea that it's a cushion, it's easy to travel with, you can easily touch up your make up and just cover any blemishes that you have. However, I found many cushion foundation way too cakey looking and too obvious that I have something on my skin.

This CC Cushion from The Face Shop has an adorable packaging and is very easy to apply. It's not patchy but just glides onto the face while applying and it sets pretty quickly as well. Once I applied it on my skin I notice how moist it feels and the medium coverage, but also the healthy glow finish that it gives. However, after half an hour I already noticed that my face was really oily on my combination dry skin. Unfortunately this CC Cushion can easily transfer on my clothing since my skin produces so much sebum after applying the CC Cushion. On the days when I apply powder on top of it, it does last longer but not for too long. Just within 2 hours I get quite oily again. I got to say that it really does do what it says but it's just not suitable for my skin type.

Therefore I recommend this more to people with a dehydrated skin/ dry skin types. It moisturizes the face well, and if you are looking for medium coverage, this would be THE CC Cushion for you!

However, if you have a combination dry/ oily skin type I would stay away from this CC Cushion, since you will be blotting your face the whole day, unless you don't mind being glowy all day.

.
YVES ROCHER CHERRY OIL LIPSTICKS
It's a moisturizing lipstick that includes 100% cherry oil. It smells lovely like cherries. The lips will get a natural gloss after application. Besides the gloss it gives your lips a very subtle shade which I love. These are really my go-to lipsticks, that I just put on quickly to keep it moist and give it a nice color. Re-application is obviously needed since the shade will fade.

Review: Cremorlab Fresh Water Gel

$
0
0
Have you heard of the Korean brand Cremorlab? Today I am going to review the Fresh Water Gel of this brand. The first time that I heard of this brand was in one of Michelle Phan's favorites video and I was interested since. I recently saw it on Honeysu's instagram, which is a brand new webstore in Belgium that sells Korean beauty and they offered it to me to give it a try. This is the first time I am trying anything from this brand, so I was curious! Check out today's review and read my thoughts about it.


yes, they also offer sheet masks from Cremorlab! 
.
CREMORLAB FRESH WATER GEL
Cremorlab’s skincare products harness the power of Thermal water therapy, Eco-energy, and Natural nourishment (T.E.N.). This thermal water is pretty rare and is a mineral-rich water from Geumjin, a region in Korea. Cremorlab's products all contains T.E.N. and it focusses on hydration of the skin. The Cremorlab Fresh Water Gel is a light moisturiser that contains, minerals, natural botanical ingredients, and seaweed extracts rich in Vitamin A, C, B1 and B2. It hydrates, soothes, and reinvigorates the skin, keeping it supple day and night. It also includes natural Bulgarian rose oil to soothe and hydrate. It's suitable for all skin types and it contains 100ml of product.

It comes in a simple clean packaging - cream colored hard plastic container that also includes a spatula to get the product out in a hygienic way.


.
INGREDIENTS 
You can also find the ingredient list at cosdna.com, so you can see which ingredient might irritate the skin. Only Algin and Alcohol Denat might irritate the skin, but Algin is at the very end of the list, which means the amount is small, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Alcohol denat is in the mid-section of the list, but usually it's put into skincare products just because that it won't dissolve into oil or water so it will keep it together (there are many other reasons). Overall, I see a product with great ingredients. It's paraben-free, artificial color-free, artificial fragrance-free and has a mineral oil-free formula.


.
TEXTURE & SCENT 
Once you apply this on your face, you can directly feel the amazing cooling effect that it gives. It's so nice for the hot days! It has a light-gel texture, which is easy to spread. It just glides over the face and you don't need much product per usage. It does feels a tiny bit sticky after you've applied it, but that feeling goes away after a few seconds luckily. It leaves a matte finish while you can really feel that it's moist, it's like the moisture is locked into the skin. Unfortunately I don't have a moisturizer meter to check how much it increased (I wish I had one), but without it I can already feel that it's high lol.

It has a very light floral scent to it, which smells surprisingly fresh as well. It's nothing overwhelming so I like it.


.
WHERE TO BUY?
I received this product from Honeysu.com, which is a brand new webshop in Belgium. I am always happy to see that there is an increase of European shops that offer Korean Beauty products. They also sell other products from Cremorlab, check out the assortment HERE. It makes it a lot easier for Europeans to purchase Korean beauty items, but shipping time would be a lot shorter as well! Honeysu sells products of Korean brands like Benton, Cremorlab obviously, Klairs, Missha and more! They provide free shipping to the EU, US and Canada if you purchase over €50.-.

FINAL THOUGHTS 
The Cremorlab Fresh Water Gel moisturizer feels lightweight and it's very moist. I have been using this product every single night for a while now. I have many night creams but I feel like grabbing this one over and over again recently just because it's moist and another thing: I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the cooling effect of this moisturizer! I even put this in the fridge for extra cooling effect which is amazing for the hot days. I love how it calms my skin, just like a fresh water gel, it's very easy to spread, has a matte finish to it and has a fresh scent to it too. The name is very suitable for this product and it just does what it says.

This product is definitely for you is you are looking for a moisturizer with a lovely cooling effect for the hot days. It includes great ingredients and suitable for all skin types.

This product won't be for you, if you are looking for other benefits other than moisture. It locks the moist into the skin but it doesn't have any other visible benefits.

I think that the Cremorlab Fresh Water Gel makes me think of the Laneige Sleeping Pack and Laneige Water Bank Eye Gel. Scent wise and finish is different but the texture is pretty similar and it  has a lovely cooling effect as well, so if you like those Laneige products, you will most likely like this too!

note: this product is send to me for review purposes, but this didn't affect my opinion about the products, see disclaimer.

This store sells products of brands like Benton, Nature Republic, Missha, Etude House, Innisfree, Tonymoly, Cosrx, It's Skin and more! Btw. Did you know I created a second instagram called SOKOBEAUTY where I share mostly Korean Beauty products, new releases and everything about Korean skincare that I love! Feel free to add me there and enjoy's todays' haul from LoveMyCosmetic.


.
LOVE MY COSMETIC HAUL 
I got 3 items: one item from Skinfood and two from Missha.

SKINFOOD - PREMIUM AVOCADO RICH CREAM 
I have been wanting to try this avocado cream from Skinfood for a while. I love to eat avocados since it contains great fats. However, I have never applied a cream that contains 30% avocado extracts before. This is interesting. It has ceramide avocado oil. Lovemycosmetic is selling is on their website for €24,95.

.
MISSHA - NEAR SKIN PH BALANCING CLEANSING OIL
To keep your pH balanced is one of the most important thing for skincare. When I saw this cleansing oil at their webshop I was dying to try it out. This balancing cleansing oil from Missha has a ph of 5. Lovemycosmetic is selling it on their website for €14,95, a very reasonable priced cleansing oil!

.
MISSHA SUPER AQUA RELIEF EYE CREAM
I have been wanting to try a new eye cream so I wanted to try this relief eye cream from Missha. It's one from their Super Aqua line which is popular because of their moist ingredients. Do you know a good eye cream? Leave a message below since I am looking for one! Lovemycosmetic is selling the eye cream for €15,95 on their website.


.
WANT ME TO REVIEW ANY OF THE ABOVE PRODUCTS?
LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENT SECTION BELOW. 

Lovemycosmetic.de doesn't have a massive collection compared to other sites that are based in South Korea, but they do have some popular products in their assortment. They sell products of well-known brands like Etude House, Missha, Innisfree and Nature Republic. It's always great to see that there is an increase of webshops that are based in Europe. That makes the shipping time way shorter, instead of waiting for 2 weeks, I can now use it within 2 days. Their products are reasonable priced too so it's not like you're paying a fortune just because they are based in Europe. They also offer free shipping when you purchase over €50.- in their shop. 

note: I didn't receive money to blog about this, these products were sent by the shop and chosen by me.

MUA LUXE HIGHLIGHT SHIMMER
This shimmer highlighter comes in a stick which makes it easy to apply. The creamy formulation is easily blendable. You can wear it alone or apply over your foundation to achieve a subtle highlight. Because of the creamy texture it won't stay long on the face but it does give a lovely subtle glow to the face making it looking healthy. Great for photoshoots I would say. The highlight shimmer is only sold for 4 pounds.



.
MUA GLITTERBALL EYESHADOW PALETTE
This gorgeous eyeshadow palette contains shimmery and glittery shades. As you can see the pigmentation is amazing for such a price (4 pounds).

I am starting the Summer with Zaful.com. Zaful is an online webshop which is selling a lot of trendy Summer clothing. I had the chance to try a few pieces of their assortment and created the following outfits. Please don't mind the quality of the pictures in this blogpost, since I took them with my iPhone 6s and they are taken from my Instagram: @Kawaiipeachies. Feel free to follow me there to stay up to date with me. I will link the items at every outfit, so you can check it out if you are interested.



A lovely Summer outfit! I am obsessed with this blue and white stripe pattern. I received a lot of compliments wearing this dress. I also bought an off shoulder top with the same pattern the other day.  Yes girls, I am obsessed!

ZAFUL.COM 
What I like about this website is the amount of dresses that they have. Their trendy dresses are gorgeous. I am amazed that the quality of these items are not bad either, the items look exactly the same as on the product pictures on their website as well. However, do take a good look on the quality of the items at their close up shots, since some items may have very thin material. They offer free standard shipping when ordering more than USD$30.-. The delivery time was around 2-3 weeks to The Netherlands.


Black dress - Black lace up pointed flats - White top from Bershka (old collection) - Michael Kors watch - Furla double zipper bag 

This black dress was a bit revealing to me when wearing it alone, so I added it with a white top to create this school girl look. Unfortunately this black dress is out of stock at their shop at the moment, but I could find a similar dress here.

Feel free to check their assortment out at Zaful.com and when you sign up for the first time, you will be getting 10% OFF

Korean Beauty Trend - Review: Elizavecca Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask

$
0
0
If you are following the Korean beauty trend you might have heard of this mask before. This is the Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask from Elizavecca. I have been seeing this a lot on Korean beauty shows, Korean blogs but also on famous US websites. The reason why this clay mask became so popular is because of the texture of this mask - it's a clay mask that bubbles within seconds on the skin! Do I have your attention now?! If you are interested, make sure to check out today's blogpost!


.
ELIZAVECCA MILKY PIGGY CARBONATED BUBBLE CLAY MASK 
This bubble clay mask is a deep cleansing makeup remover and pore cleanser in one. It contains charcoal powder, that deeply penetrates the pores to get rid of deep-seated dirt while supplying proper nutrients to keep the skin healthy and supple. It cleanses, refines and tightens the pores but it also helps with sebum control. It comes in an adorable packaging with a piggy on it. All in Korean descriptions so I couldn't read it all. It comes with 100 gr. of product. This product is for oily/ combination skin types.


At the back of the packaging you can find a sticker saying Elizavecca Original. Make sure you buy the product from a trustworthy shop, Elizavecca added a sticker on the box so you can scrap and check the number to see it it's original. You can check if it's original on their website - here.


 .
Once you twist the product open, you will see a spatula and a tight cap. It comes with a spatula that you got to use to get the product out. I wouldn't like to get my nails and fingers in it every time I use it. I do need to clean the spatula every time after usage since the product also bubbles on the spatula lol. Tip: always close the cap after using it so no air or water will go in to keep the product in the best shape and to prevent bacteria's going in.

.
TEXTURE & SCENT
Now the fun part! The texture! Once opened you can see a gray clay mask, with a jelly texture. When I poked my spatula in the product, it just stayed there, same texture when you do that with jelly. You only need to scoop a little bit for the whole face. It's a little bit hard to spread because of the texture, so some parts may have more product than other parts. That's fine, it will bubble anyway.

It has a light chemical scent that is not overwhelming at all. The scent goes away once you have applied the mask.


.
HOW TO USE
Scoop a proper amount of the clay mask and spread evenly on dry, cleansed or un-cleansed face. Just within seconds you can feel that it starts to bubble. Just leave it on for 5 minutes until a lot of bubbles can be seen then gently massage it all over the face to melt down dirt. Afterwards, rinse it off thoroughly with lukewarm water. It always takes a while for me to remove clay masks, I normally have to rinse for a few times, but now I am using a konjac sponge which makes it easier to remove everything from my face.

INGREDIENTS
If you are interested in the ingredients of the product, check out cosdna.com.

THE FUN PART 
I first tried it on my hand to see how the effect is. I just scooped a bit on my hand. If you spread it, it has a dark gray color, within a few seconds its starting to get lighter and lighter. After 5 minutes it turned into a light gray color. It's so COOL to see and feel this! It just bubbles and you can even hear the bubble sensation! The carbonated bubbles stimulates the skin to exfoliate dead surface skin cells to bring out a healthy glow while it cleanses the pores.



.
AND NOW ON THE SKIN 
The mask bubbles within seconds, so I was too slow to take a picture when it was still dark gray. However, the bubble effect is definitely visible. After 5 minutes it just created a lot of bubbles. Oh the bubble sensation is so much fun! The feeling is very funny, it's like you are having soda on the skin lol. The sizzling sound of bubbles is also very fun to hear. It just makes me want to look in the mirror non stop to see how the process of bubbling is.


.
WHERE TO BUY?
I received this product from bbcosmetic.com for review purposes. You can purchase the Elizavecca Bubble Clay Mask there for USD$11.10. A very affordable clay mask I would say.

FINAL THOUGHTS 
It's a very affordable product that contains a lot of product. A little goes a long way. It's great that the scent is very light as well. Luckily this product didn't break me out. I don't have many blackheads but I do have many whiteheads and surprisingly it did work to remove them! Since I have an oily T-zone I try to control my sebum with this product as well, but that matte effect that this product creates on my skin could only be seen after rinsing. During the day my T-zone just gets oily again, doesn't seem like my sebum reduced. I haven't tried to remove my make up with this product and I don't think I will since it's more for oily skin types. I only use this product on my T-zone since that's my oily part of my face. It made my skin tight, it firmed it up a bit and it made my skin very soft and clean.

I am in love with the texture. I love love love the bubble sensation. It's a very fun product to try out with friends, your other half or family member(s). Let other people try it and feel the funny bubble sensation together! I recommend everybody to give this fun sensation a try!

If you got a lot of whiteheads that are hard to remove, make sure to give this a try! It works! If you wanted to get this product just for sebum control, it's better to search for a different item.

WOULD YOU GIVE THIS A TRY?

Review: Teradia TD Repair Emulsion Serum

$
0
0
Nano diamond cosmetics, have you heard of that before? Today I am going to review the TD Repair Emulsion Serum of the Korean brand Teradia. It's a high-end brand and to be honest I never heard of the brand before but I did wanted to give it a try because of the ingredients that's inside! YES! NANO DIAMONDS! Keep on reading today's post if you are interested.

.
WHAT IS NANO DIAMOND?
Teradia is using Nano diamond in their skincare lines. "Nano sized diamond, which is the smallest size available on Earth, is a yellow colored spherical object that looks like a chestnut burr covered with around 30,000 bumps, and is a very small particle with 1/100,000 the size of hair thickness - this is  invisible under naked eyes. Many bumps of this chestnut burr safely hold active cosmetic ingredients and release them, which allows continuous delivery of effects within the skin, and does not get absorbed by the skin but instead stays, continuously exhibiting moisturization, antioxidant and antibiotic function." - source: teradia.co.kr. 

TERADIA TD REPAIR EMULSION SERUM 
This emulsion serum moisturizes and improves the elasticity of the skin because of Teradia's crystallized water that's included. It claims to brighten and lighten the skin because of the nano-diamond ingredient, it's a concentrated serum and a soft emulsion, so there you go, two effects in one. It contains anti-aging benefits as well. Suitable for all skintypes, 50ml of product inside.
.
PACKAGING 
The packaging is pearly pink and silver colored. It looks high end and the packaging is sturdy as well. It comes in a pump so you can easily get the product out. The packaging is all in Korean.


.
HOW TO USE 
After using an ampoule, pump the emulsion serum 1-2 times and spread it over your face and neck. Let it absorb and move on with your skincare routine afterwards. You should use it within 12 months after opening.

INGREDIENTS 
A massive ingredient list, check out the ingredient list on cosdna.com as well, here you can see if some ingredients might irritate your skin.

Rosa Damascena Flower Water, Water, Butylene Glycol, Mineral Oil, Propylene Glycol, Niacinamide, 1,2-Hexanediol, Palmitic Acid, Polysorbate 20, Stearic Acid, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetyl, Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, Dimethicone, Carbomer, Tromethamine, Ethylhexylglycerin, Adenosine, Diamond Powder, Cananga Odorata Flower Oil, Pelargonium, Graveolens Flower Oil, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Extract, Coptis Chinensis Root Extract, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Sodium Hyaluronate, Juniperus Mexicana Oil, Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil, Glycerin, Camellia Japonica Seed Oil, Sorbitol, Butyrospermum, Parkii(Shea Butter), Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Ascorbic Acid, Plukenetia Volubilis Seed Oil, Allantoin, Tocopheryl Acetate, Panthenol, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Eugenol, Calendula Officinalis, Flower Oil, Mangifera Indica(Mango) Seed Butter, Oenothera Biennis(Evening Primrose) Oil, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Leaf Water, Propanediol, Coriandrum Sativum (Coriander) Fruit Oil, Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry) Fruit Extract, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Anthemis Nobilis, Flower Extract, Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid, Madecassic Acid, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Glutathione, Hesperidin, Alcohol Denat, Linoleic Acid, Citrus Paradisi(Grapefruit) Fruit Extract, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Terminalia Ferdinandiana Fruit Extract, Caviar Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Vitis Vinifera(Grape) Seed Extract, Lilium Candidum Flower Extract, Leontopodium Alpinum Flower/Leaf Extract, Convallaria Majalis Bulb/Root Extract, Magnolia, Liliflora Flower Extract, Paeonia Lactiflora Root Extract, Copper Tripeptide-1, TBHQ.


TEXTURE & SCENT 
The texture is milky and the serum is pearly white. I got to say that it's very easy to spread. It feels lightweight on the skin and it just sinks into my skin as well without having a feeling that it just sits on my skin. This is a thick emulsion serum. The texture is thicker than the normal serums that I am used to, which normally has a more of a liquid/watery texture. This emulsion serum has a floral scent to it, it's light, not overwhelming. What I do like about this serum is that's not sticky after application and my skin feels moisturized afterwards.

.
WHERE TO BUY? 
You are able to get this serum exclusively at Jolse.com, but unfortunately it's currently out of stock.  It's sold for $63,73, which is on the pricey side but it's an high end brand after all and it got to do with the nano diamond ingredients. This was send to me by Jolse for review purposes.

PERFORMANCE 
I have been using this product for 2 weeks now, which isn't a long time to see any massive difference.  My skin does look bright and healthy after application, for about 5 minutes, afterwards it just looks normal. I like the texture of this emulsion serum, it's very easy to spread and just sinks into my skin. It feels moisturizing but I still need to layer it with other moisturizers to make it feel plump. (I have a combination dry skin btw.) It will feel moist enough for people with an oily skintype.

So far I think this product is okay, I will be using this product for a longer period to see if there are any differences. I hope this works great for anti-aging, and of course I hope that the nano diamond ingredients will work on my skin!

Would you buy it because of the nano diamonds?

Review: May Island Multi Bean Clean & Care Cleanser

$
0
0
This cleanser is so adorable and fun to try! I have never seen such a cleanser before! Not only the packaging but also the product is cute! In today's blogpost I will be reviewing the May Island Multi Bean Clean & Care Cleanser. You might have seen this on Youtube since some Youtubers have been talking about this product. I got curious since it looked so cute, and great reviews could be found so I couldn't leave this behind.


.
MAY ISLAND MULTI BEAN CLEAN & CARE CLEANSER 
These skincare beans are made of ingredients from Jeju Island. Jeju island is legendary because of its lush ecosystem, producing nourishing ingredients that have been sought after for centuries for their healing properties. The small skincare beans come in 4 pastel shades, add a bit of water with the colorful beans and it becomes a cleansing foam. Each bean is formulated with ingredients such as volcanic ash, torreya nucifera, rubus flower, and nutmeg tree extract. It targets specific concerns such as excessive dryness (yellow bean for dry skin), dull skin complexion (pink bean for brightness), clogged pores (white bean for deep pore cleansing) and sensitive skin (green bean). These beans have a 9-Free formula : perfume-free, oxybenzone, no parabens, benzophenone, mineral oil, talc, triethanolamine TEA, dimethicone, sulfate-free, formaldehyde-free.

PACKAGING 


.
HOW TO USE
Grab one bean (I took the green bean, for sensitive skin) and apply a little bit of water on it. Just crush the dampened bean a little bit and it breaks. Rub it between wet palms to create a bubbly foam, it doesn't foam loads, just a bit. Gently massage onto the skin with your fingertips in outward circular motions. After cleansing thoroughly, rinse off with lukewarm water. It can be used as a face cleanser, body wash or for the scalp. They recommended to use 1-2 beans for facial wash, 2-3 beans for body wash or scalp massaging. I normally just use 1 for my face since I think it's enough for my whole face and even neck since it foams, you can easily spread it.




.
FINAL THOUGHTS
It's such a fun product and it makes my skin feels so soft afterwards! This is definitely one of the most interesting things I have tried in skincare world. I have tried all beans multiple times and I can feel that the one for dry skin is more moist than the other ones. No massive changes could be seen when I used the one for clogged pores, but it did remove my white heads well. My favorites are definitely the yellow and green ones, since it makes my skin moist and it's very gentle. The multi beans are great for sensitive skin and I think all beans give a nice healthy glow afterwards. It doesn't feel dry or tight afterwards, it just feels just right. 

I haven't tried the beans on my scalp though, since I prefer to use it on my skin more and it seems like such a waste to me to use it on my scalp lol. I wouldn't recommend to use it on the eyes, neither for removing make up. This is a great cleanser if you want to remove any creams or sunscreen that you applied that day. It's very gentle, it has a soapy smell but not overwhelming at all. The downside of this product is that there aren't many beans inside the package. If you are using it every day, you are finished with it in no time and it's quite expensive as well, such a pity. 

If you got some money left and if you are up for something new, this is definitely a fun thing to try! It's very good for traveling, it has great ingredients inside and it makes the skin soft as baby cheeks! Just see what your skin needs on that day and grab the bean that you want to use. This is definitely a multi bean! 

WHERE TO BUY?
I purchased it from Hikoreanfashion.com, first time ordering from this shop so I didn't even know if it would arrive or not, but it did after 2 weeks, which is a normal shipping period if it comes from Asia to The Netherlands. You are also able to purchase it at Glowrecipe.com, Memebox.com and Testerkorea.com.

Review: Banila Co. - Clean it Zero Radiance

$
0
0
I have been wanting to try this product for such a long time now. In today's blogpost I will be reviewing the Clean it Zero Radiance from Banila Co. This is a very popular cleansing balm that removes all the dirt off your skin including make up! Their original version is the best sold item from Banila Co. so that got to say something right?


.
BANILA CO. CLEAN IT ZERO RADIANCE 
The Banila Co. Clean it Zero - Radiance is a solid balm that turns into a silky oil. It removes makeup and impurities from your skin while keeping your skin's essential oils in tact. Your skin will feel clean and smooth afterwards. It claims to give a brightening effect.

There are 3 other variations of the Clean it Zero product:
• Clean it zero original - suitable for normal skin. It contains acerola and herbal essences for moisturizing the skin.
• Clean it zero resveratrol - effective for reducing large pores. It contains grape seed and olive oil to tighten the skin.
• Clean it zero purity - suitable for sensitive skin, it contains no artificial pigments, fragrance, alcohol, mineral oil and with zero paraben.



Inside there is a separator between the cap and the product in which you can keep the spatula. For hygienic reasons I recommend to keep using the spatula.


.
INGREDIENTS 
Mineral Oil, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, PEG-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate, PEG-10 Isostearate, Rosa Canina Fruit Oil, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Polyethylene, Butylene Glycol, Water, vitis Vinfera (Grape) Root Extract, Glycerin, Moringa Pterygosperma Seed Extract, Collagen, Butylparaben, Fragrance.

The radiance version of the Clean it zero does contain fragrance and butylparaben. According to cosdna.com, these two ingredients might irritate the skin. If your skin is very sensitive, try the Clean it Zero sensitive version. This oil balm contains great oils. It is formulated with 15% of natural moisturizing oil that helps refine dull complexion while the skin-brightening active agent in vitisin  and moringa extract work together to create a brightening effect.

TEXTURE & SCENT
The oil balm itself is white. It is a solid balm and transforms into a silky oil on the skin while you massage the product. It turns into a milky lather once you mix it with water. It has a lovely scent which is not overwhelming at all, it smells like candy to me.


.
HOW TO USE AND LETS TEST IT OUT
Use the spatula and scoop a small amount out (almond size) and put it on the back of your hand. Then using your ring finger take the product from the back of your hand and dab onto a dry face and massage in up and outward motions. Rinse off with lukewarm water and pat dry for moisture retention. It's also possible to continue with your next cleanser, for double cleansing and that's what I do as well. I normally use my favourite cleanser afterwards: Hadalabo gokujyun face wash.

In below pictures I am testing it on my arm to see if it really removes all stubborn make up that I normally apply on my face. Left is waterproof lipstick, middle is waterproof eyeliner and the right one is CC cream. I have put the oil balm below, only a little is needed. You will need a bit more for the face though. However, a little goes a long way.
After massaging it for a few seconds (without adding water), you can see that the lipstick and cc cream can be removed easily. However the waterproof eyeliner is still there.
In below picture I have added a bit of water and tried to massage it again to see it will be clean or not.  It turns a white lather when you mix it with water and it will start to clean it even better. But the line is still visible. So as you can see, it won't remove very stubborn make up, but it will remove most of it. It really depends what kind of make up you wear and if it's waterproof or not. My eyeliner is really waterproof since I got oily lids. I think this balm works fine on its own if you don't wear waterproof make up, but if you do, double cleanse is needed!

.
WHERE TO BUY?
I got this product from a Korean cosmetics webshop called q-depot.com. If you plan to purchase there feel free to use this coupon code: GoCF7off to get 7% off or get a free coupon of USD$25 when you register an account and you can use this coupon when you purchase over USD$69.-. The Clean it Zero Radiance is currently on sale at their shop and sold for USD$21.99.- here. They also sell the other Clean it Zero versions. They ship worldwide, you can check at their shipping page how much the shipping cost will be when shipping it to your country. When you order over USD$49+ the shipping fee will be free.

FINAL THOUGHTS 
First of all, I can see why people absolutely love this. It's a great oil balm that's very easy to use. It cleanses make up well. It's possible to remove your eye make up with this and it doesn't sting in the eyes. I do have to point out that it doesn't remove stubborn waterproof make up completely, so double cleanse is always needed when you wear waterproof make up. I always double cleanse so that's fine with me. I think that most of my cleansers gives a bit of brightening effect after washing my face and this one does it too. The effect is as usual temporary and only visible after washing.

I got this product for a few weeks and I got to say that I love using it. The scent is pleasant and it gives me a happy feeling every time when I use this since it's so soothing. Also, only a little is needed so I think this tube will last me for at least 3 months if I use it every night.

WOULD YOU GIVE THIS A TRY?
