HolikaHolika Dessert Time Lip Balm - Lemon

HolikaHolika Dessert Time Lip Balm - Lemon -

At first, I didn't like the favor of Lemon so I though about giving it away, but lip balms are best to put in your handbag during the summer to avoid chapped lips.

I needed a lip balm, so I though why not open it and try it.
The snap is really easily accessible.
It's very creamy on the lips, of course the color is sheer.
Very surprising and great packaging. I will definitely buy again, in another flavor.

Sephora Renew and peel Super Serum

Everyone including myself was scared of purchasing it, but I did.
I have sensitive skin so I was worried about the renew and peel line.
But my skin doesn't peel or burn afterwards.
I always use toner right before application.
One time, I used this serum right after cleansing my face without the toner, and my skin did sting a little, so beware!

But overall, I like this serum and nothing bad has happened because I use this for night time only because it contains AHA (alpha hydroxyl acid) which can increase the skin sensitivity to sunlight and can cause sunburn.
It even feels smooth and soft afterwards.
I already repurchased a new bottle.

DAENG GI MEO RI – Herbal Essentials Hair Therapy

I love this! It makes my dry, damaged hair smooth and soft. Plus it smells wonderful after applying to your hair!
Definitely a repurchase.

DAENG GI MEO RI – Supeon Premium Herbal Body Cleanser

DAENG GI MEO RI – Supeon Premium Herbal Body Cleanser

Smells like licorice or grass jelly and it makes me think of late summer drinks or snacks in Taiwan.

It foams after you use it with a bath sponge and it cleans well.

I will definitely repurchase.

I don't feel dry or sticky afterwards.

I'm in love with this body cleanser aka soap.

INNISFREE The minimum Sun Cream SPF25,PA++ 40ml

INNISFREE The minimum Sun Cream SPF25,PA++ 40ml

This would be a nice body sunscreen but not for my face.
The white cast is a bit hard to rub in without getting white shrieks.

It is a bit oily for my sensitive combination skin.
There is no scent so it's great for people that are sensitive to fragranced products. It was hydrating and after applying it, I didn't feel as if I had sunscreen on so it is a great product for sensitive skin.

MayCoop Raw Moisturizer

MayCoop Raw Moisturizer $40 retail - 80ml - good for all skin (perfect for spring)

This is a white cream that absorbs well. If you suffer from dry skin, this will be enough after laying my toner, essence, emulsion onto my face. This product isn't enough for the winter and too thick and oily for the summer. I like the scent, but for people with sensitive noses to fragrances will not like this.

Mizon UV Mild sun block

Mizon sun block
I didn't think much of this sunscreen when I opened it.
I was in for a surprise, the white cast goes away when you rub it on your face.
Do wish that the SPF was higher than 35, but perfect for the winter to spring time.

Sephora Collection Ultra Shine Lip Gel

Sephora Collection Ultra Shine Lip Gel

This is nice as a lip-shine topper/gloss.
Yes, it does have the same effects visually as gel nails.
If you like shiny and glossy lips, this product is for you.

The color was perfect enough for "no-makeup" days.
However, I think I have enough lipstick and lip glosses for a while.

elf moisturizing Lipstick

  
I like the lipstick formula because of the creamy texture, but this nude color makes my face look dull so I passed it onto my mom and she loved it. Guess everyone likes color differently.

Hadalabo JAPAN Skin Institute Gokujun premium hyaluronic solution

I grab this when I saw it sitting by itself on the shelf at Cosmed in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.

I heard so many things about the gold version of the Hadolabo line stating that this was the "preminum" stuff.

To be honest, there isn't much of a difference. It's just a regular thicker toner which aids in moisture.

Naruko/NRK Calendula Soothing and Calming Toner

I really wanted to love this Taiwanese brand toner, but the scent really bothered me. The strong scent of alcohol really hit my nose!
But my pores did feel firmer and better, so if you can get pass the scent, then this might work for you but sadly it didn't work for me.

Asian cushion foundation comparasion and interchangable refills Part2 2017

This is the part 2 of my cushion foundation collection.
Sadly, all the ones below did not fit with one another and the previously ones above.
  
9. Peripera Watery Face Pride Up! cushion pact in shade 2-Vanilla Beige - too small for all
10. Missha Brown M Magic - shade 23 was a bit light
11. Innisfree Ampoule Intense Cushion - too sticky for my taste
12. Missha Essence - perfect for dry skin, not a fan though.

13. VANT CC Cover - way too light
14. The Face Shop Anti-Aging
15. BANILA CO V-V Bouncing Cushion
