B.liv O2 Bubbly Bright Oxygenating Mask Review

Hello lovelies!

This should have been posted a week ago but I kept on forgetting to publish it.

Description:
This purifying mask claims to give skin a new breath of life which combines oxygen bubble and rice powder to brighten and enliven complexion. Experience the magic upon application as it fizzes into soft foam soaking up impurities while the red soft beads gently melt away to exfoliate skin thus leaving you with soft, smoother and glowing skin.

SIZE:
50g

HOW TO USE:
Apply a small amount onto face and gentlt massage. Bubbles will form;leave on for 5-10 minutes. Massage once more for deeper cleansing. Rinse with lukewarm water. Proceed with remaining skin care steps.

INGREDIENTS LIST:
The three main ingredients are O2 Bubble (purifying), Rice Powder (brightening) & Red Soft Beads (exfoliating)

PACKAGING:



The product comes in a metallic silver/chrome-coloured box. The product itself comes in a clean white jar with a twist off cap. When you open the cap, there's an inner lid inside to keep the product fresh. There's also a cute spatula included for hygienic purpose.

REVIEW:

The product has a lightweight gel-like texture. It has a baby powder smell and I quite like it. I first tried it on my hand and I was surprised at how soft it is. I can also see a slight difference of the skin tone with my other hand. At this point, I was so excited to try it on my face already!



Upon applying it onto my face, I can feel it slowly started to foamed up. My face felt a bit tingly due to the fizzing effect but I enjoyed it. When in contact with water, the bubbles emulsifies into milky liquid. I've been using this for almost a week and I can definitely tell that my uneven skin tone has brightened up little by little up until the point that my dark circles really stood out! 🙈

OVERALL:
This product is amazing! It's quite fun and I really enjoyed using it. The effect that it gave to my skin was almost immediate and because of this, it piqued my interest to try other products from this brand. 😍

I do recommend this product to those of you who are looking for both cleansing and brightening effect!

WHERE TO BUY:
You can purchase it at Bliv for USD29

[JOLSE] ACONCEPT Chewing Two Tone Tint Lip Balm Review

Hello beauties!


Description:
  • The Two Tone Lip Balm expresses the lips with vitality and moisture.
  • Express natural and attractive gradation lips quickly and easily.
  • The moist texture forms a moisturizing film on the dry lips.

Product description credits to Jolse

SIZE:
3g

HOW TO USE:
Spread smoothly on the lips and mix the colors naturally with the lips.

PACKAGING:






The product comes in a little bold red-coloured box with holographic wording of the brand itself, ACONCEPT. So sexy.
All was writtten in Korean, though except for the quote "It is a two tone tint lip balm, your lip will shine." Oooh, let's see how true the claim is. 😄
The expiration is printed on the bottom while the shade is printed on the top. What I've got here is shade #13 Red Flavor.
The product comes in a simple and clean white tube with a silver handle. The good thing about the cap is that it closes down with a click to ensure that the tube is secure and won't come off at any time. Just twist it up and it will reveal the two tone bullet.

REVIEW:

Two swipes

What I can say about this product is that it moisturized my lips and is not drying either. My lips tend to get chapped and dry easily so it's hard for me to find a suitable lip balm/lip tint. But this really surprised me. Even when I ate/drank, it didn't settle onto my fine lines and leaving a stain instead. I love it! It gave you that MLBB look 😍 I prefer using the balm first then putting the tint on the inner part of my lips to create the gradient lips. One swipe is enough.

PROS:
Pretty packaging
Affordable price for a two tone tint balm
Moisturizing
Doesn't dry out the lips
Leaves a stain instead of settling onto fine lines

CONS:
Has a white tube which can get dirty easily

OVERALL:
Nowadays, I always tend to grab this amongst my stash of lip products because in comparison with my other lip products, this one is the most moisturizing out of all. Thumbs up!

RATING:
8/10

WHERE TO BUY:
You can purchase it at jolse.com for USD12.44

Review: Elizavecca Gold CF-Nest B-JO Eye Want Cream

Hello lovelies!

I have a product from the brand Elizavecca to share with you guys here.

Now, how should I start? I bought this mainly because I'm in need of an eye cream at that time and I found that this was one of the best selling eye cream in Jolse, I think? I forgot. But anyway, after knowing that bird's nest extract was one of the top ingredients in this product, I quickly add this to my cart and checkout. I mean, come on, bird's nest is sooooo beneficial to the skin.



DESCRIPTION:
Use the extract 50% of the swallow abundantly the skin.
Given the moisturizing power and elasticity, improve the barrier of the skin texture and skin.
Moisturizing not sticky by fermenting oil obtained from natural.

Product description credits to Jolse

SIZE:
100ml

HOW TO USE:
Take proper amount, spread evenly across the face and absorb it.

INGREDIENTS LIST:
I would like to point out that this product contains 2 active ingredients which are niacinamide and adenosine. Both ingredients help with the skin whitening and also relieve wrinkles respectively.
As for the other ingredients list, it can be found at Cosdna

PACKAGING:

Honestly, the packaging is sooooo pretty! The product comes in plastic tub enclosed in a square box with gold linings along the edges.

There's the typical Elizavecca logo printed on top. Will you look at that proud bunny wearing sunglasses and a cute ribbon? So cute!


There's a picture of a chubby looking birdie applying the cream itself onto its face. Omg this doubles up the cuteness!
Meanwhile, Elizavecca has this sort of 16 digits thingy to verify whether the product is original or fake.
It's all written in Korean but thankfully, there's an English translation for some.






As for the tub itself, it comes with a twist off cap and you can see there's an inner lid on the inside. On top of the inner lid, there's a cute white spatula included. Both the inner lid and the spatula have the brand logo printed on each.
At the bottom of the tub, you can find the expiration date.

REVIEW:



So, I used it for 2-3 weeks and at first, I really like this product. It has a much thicker consistency and the smell is just like baby's lotion or whatever it is. All I need is a tiny than pea-sized amount and dab it on my eye areas with my ring finger in a soft motion. You know, a little goes a long way It's moisturizing, yes. But I found out that it took a longer time to sink in.

That's not the problem. After using it for 1 week, I noticed a few small white bumps forming on my under eye area. I had a suspicion that this cream was the cause of it because the only product that I add into my routine is this one. So, I decided to stop using it for a while until those bumps cleared out. Once they're cleared out, I continue back on using the cream. And guess what? A week after, the bumps came back and I was pretty sure that this cream is the culprit behind it.

I don't really know what those bumps were so I google-ed it and found out that the bumps turn out to be milia, which happens when skin-care and makeup products clog up pores. It can also occur when keratin gets trapped under the surface of the skin.

I stop using it for my under eyes immediately but I found a good use to it though. Instead of disposing it, I applied this onto neck because this cream is so moisturizing and it makes my neck feels soft. Let's hope with continuous usage, it can help to smooth out the veryyyyy fine wrinkles on my neck.

PROS:
Super cute packaging
Contains bird's nest extract
Large tub for an eye cream
Moisturizing
Affordable price
Spatula included for hygiene purposes

CONS:
Scent can be a bit overwhelming
Took longer to sink in
Thick consistency which is not suitable for an eye cream
Caused milia to formed on my under eye areas

OVERALL:
For an eye cream, this doesn't bode well on my eye area so I wouldn't recommend this to you guys. But on the other hand, I'm currently using it as a neck cream because it just makes my skin feels soft to the touch.

RATING:
4/10 (we'll see how it goes on my neck after a few more weeks)

WHERE TO BUY:
You can purchase it at Jolse
for USD11.53 + free shipping.

Have you guys try out this eye cream yet? Do share with me your experience in using this! ^^

Disclaimer: I bought this product with my own money so I am not paid to do this review.

REVIEW: LOMILOMI JASMINE 7 SKIN SCHEDULER SUNDAY HEALING MASK

Hello beauties!

So, last two weeks, I received this mask from Skin18 which is the LomiLomi Jasmine 7 Skin Scheduler Sunday Healing Mask. I've never heard of this brand before but serious guys, this mask left a huge impression on me! 😍

LOMILOMI JASMINE 7 SKIN SCHEDULER SUNDAY HEALING MASK


Description:
This is highly enriched product of Jasmine Extract and skin activators, and nutritional contents on the sheet with excellent skin adhesion and absorption. It cares oil and moisture, blocks toxic substances to skin and makes moisturizing and elastic skin.

HOW TO USE:
After washing your face, spread the sheet mask evenly over the face, leave it for 15~30 minutes and remove the mask, gently pat until fully absorb. This is a daily care product that is helpful to skin everyday.


INGREDIENTS LIST:
The ingredients list can be found here.
This mask is free from parabens , animal proteins , mineral oil , sulfate .


PACKAGING:
This mask has a white & yellow themed packaging with a picture of the flower Jasmine printed on the front. Meanwhile, most of the instructions are printed in Korean except for the description and directions of using it. As for the expiry date, it can be found at the bottom.


REVIEW:
The mask comes without any additional plastic/backing. It smells heavenly jasmine, obviously. The sheet is very hard to rip, so I really love it. The fit is okay except the edges didn't really reach the sides of my face. It has something extra which are the eye flaps but a bit too small for my eyes. The sheet mask adheres well on my face as I managed to sit up right with no worry of this sliding off. After 30 minutes of using it, what I noticed is that it gave me a glowing and healthy looking skin which I'm quite surprised of. My face also felt more moisturized after that and the effect lasted me for two days. Though it did felt tingly at first but the feeling subsides after a few minutes upon usage. The essence is a tiny bit sticky and it lingers for a while before sinking into the skin.

OVERALL:
Overall, I really love this mask because it did what it claims to do!

RATING:
10/10

You can purchase this at Skin18

[JOLSE] SAAT INSIGHT KONSTANTE ELEGANZ FIXER 100ml REVIEW

Hello lovelies!

Makeup fixer is a product that you apply to your face after make-up so that your make-up doesn't look cakey, skin stays hydrated and helps with the oil control.

Today, I'm going to review the SAAT Insight Konstante Eleganz Fixer which comes in either 50ml or 100ml.


DESCRIPTION:
The powerful fixer maintains the fresh make-up all day long.
Forms a cool and fresh moisture film that provides moisture.
Smoothly adheres and tends the skin bright with a gentle glow.

Product description credits to Jolse

SIZE:
This fixer contains 100ml of product.

HOW TO USE:
Shake thoroughly, spray evenly, and pat gently to absorb.

INGREDIENTS LIST:
The ingredients can be found at Cosdna where only 1 acne trigger has been identified.

PACKAGING:










The packaging is really beautiful and elegant with a marble cardboard box and different pastel colours. The product itself comes housted in a simple white plastic bottle with a black cap and upper top. The expiration date was printed at the bottom of the bottle. All of the wordings are written in Korean though except for the name of this product.

REVIEW:


This fixer does control the sebum production on my skin and thus leaving my skin feeling matte. The smell is not that strong to be honest. Plus, it is also very moisturizing and soothing on the skin. I love the fact that it comes with a spray nozzle, distributing the product evenly. The end result after using this is that it gives my skin that beautiful glow instead of looking cakey.
However, the only problem with this fixer is that it is a bit expensive compared with other make-up fixer.

PROS:
Beautiful packaging
Keeps the oil at bay
Make-up looks smooth
Not drying

CONS:
A bit pricier

OVERALL:
I love this make-up fixer. Enough said. The SAAT Insight Konstante Eleganz Fixer is suitable for all skin types.

RATING:
9/10

WHERE TO BUY:
You can purchase it at Jolse.com for USD21.29 + free shipping.

Have you guys try out this make-up fixer yet? Do share with me your experience in using this fixer! ^^

REVIEW: THE FACE SHOP MASCREAM INTENSE SHEET - SOOTHING

Hello lovelies!

How are you guys coping with the busy days so far? Hope it didn't affect you as much as mine did. My skin has been acting out lately due to the stressful week of having multiple assignments. Ugh. Luckily, I have my sheet masks to rely on and one of them is The Face Shop MasCream Intense Sheet - Soothing.

THE FACE SHOP MASCREAM INTENSE SHEET - SOOTHING


There are 3 types of sheet masks from the MasCream Intense line which target specific skin needs/issues:-

1) Soothing
2) Moisturizing
3) Revitalizing

The one that I tried is Soothing.

Description:
This face mask sheet coated with a soothing cream containing Panthenol to effectively calm sensitive skin.

DIRECTIONS:
Cleanse and apply toner.
Take out the mask and start peeling off the transparent film.
Put the upper and lower pieces on the skin and peel off the rest of the film.
Remove after 10 to 20 minutes and lightly pat the remaining cream into skin.
[Formulated without parabens/Gel cream formula]


INGREDIENTS LIST:
WATER/EAU, DIPROPYLENE GLYCOL, GLYCERIN, METHYL TRIMETHICONE, ALCOHOL DENAT, DIMETHICONE, CYCLOPENTASILOXANE, 1,2-HEXANEDIOL, PANTHENOL, CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE, PENTAERYTHRITYL TETRAETHYLHEXANOATE, PEG/PPG/POLYBUTYLENE GLYCOL-8/5/3 GLYCERIN, PHENYL TRIMETHICONE, PENTAERYTHRITYL TETRAISOSTEARATE, PEG-150, HYDROXYETHYL ACRYLATE/SODIUM ACRYLOYLDIMETHYL TAURATE COPOLYMER, SQUALANE, PEG-40 HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL, DIMETHICONOL, ACRYLATES/C10-30 ALKYL ACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER, C14-22 ALCOHOLS, POLYSORBATE 60, MACADAMIA TERNIFOLIA SEED OIL, TRIETHYLHEXANOIN, TRISODIUM EDTA, BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII (SHEA) BUTTER, ARACHIDYL GLUCOSIDE, HYDROGENATED LECITHIN, GLYCERYL STEARATE, STEARIC ACID, CERAMIDE NP, CHOLESTEROL, PEG-100 STEARATE, CARBOMER, TROMETHAMINE, PARFUM/FRAGRANCE


PACKAGING:
The upper part has a greyish base while the rest of the packaging has a creamy base with some different colors of the font. You can see the image of a jar spilling out the the cream to make the shape of a face or a face mask.
The back packaging has some some of its instructions printed in both Korean and also English with pictures on how to use the mask properly.
The ingredients were also stated at the back along with the expiration date.


REVIEW:
The sheet itself was protected between two layers of film and divided into two parts, the upper part and lower part which was quite convenient to use.
Instead of the clear essence/serum, it has a white gel-like cream with a thicker consistency than the typical essence in sheet masks.
This mask felt cooling on my skin and it did indeed soothe the redness and calming those zits on my face.
The after effect left my skin looking clear and moisturized. It gives me that healthy and radiant glow to my skin. I almost resisted putting on a moisturizer and night cream due to the moistness it provided to my face.
However, the effect only lasted for 2-3 days but I'm sure with constant use, my skin will continue to improve.


OVERALL:
This mask evened out my skin tone and made my face look plump. It also deeply moisturized my skin and provides a cooling sensation to it. The mask is good for pampering yourself after having a hectic day, preferably during night time. I recommend this mask to anyone with dry skin and also to those looking for a 2-in-1 mask (soothing+hydrating).

RATING:
8/10


Have you guys try this mask before? Do let me know in the comment section down below. ^^

Until my next post!
