Sunday Riley Essence Pink Drink

 

I've been waiting to get this product for so long so my expectations were a bit high. I'm used to korean essences so I was surprised to see it as spray form. This product has a nice spray output and it keeps my skin hydrated right after I take a shower or wash my face. This mist might be a bit harsh for daily pick me ups if your skin is feeling dry throughout the day. In my opinion, I wouldn't repurchase.

 

JVN Air Dry Cream

 I never thought I would enjoy applying lightweight cream instead of oil in my fine hair. This cooler temperature seasons are the perfect time to have this product in your head. The scent smells divine and it doesn't linger. A little goes a long way. This product allows me to survive the second hair day and I never do that. Anything that protects my hair through humidity and UV damage, I'm a fan of.

Fenty Pro Filt'r Hydrating Longwear Foundation 200

 

I love to apply this product with my fingertips when I'm on the go and it gives me a great pick up. But for the summertime and the warmer temps, this product is a bit thick and heavy. As I grew to dislike heavy foundations as I reach the ripe to the age of 35, I tend to gravitate towards tinted moisturizers and BB or cc creams.  Great coverage but a pass for me.

ELEMIS Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Wash

 

Very creamy and luxurious feeling. Perfect for winter cold seasons. Love this facial wash. My face loves this milky hydrating texture as it glides onto my skin and washes all the dirt and dead cell turnover after a long work day.

JVN Complete Blowout Styling Milk

 This hair product smells divine! It is so smooth and silky and the hair absorbs the product without feeling sticky. It elevates your curly or wavy hair, but doesn't do much with humidity hair. I used it on a high humidity day and my hair looks as crazy as usual. But it kept my hair clean and I even survived second day hair feeling as fresh as the day of when I used this product. I will pass this onto my very curly hair friend and know she will love it as much as I did.

celimax Dual Barrier Mild Gel Cleanser

 

Just a pump goes a long way. It's gentle and creamy and perfect for morning wash. I love the pump and no scent plus very hydrating.

tocobo lemon toner

 

This was a great toner for the transitional seasons of summer and autumn. The jelly texture was perfect for the drier conditions. It leaves my skin subtle and able to absorb the following layers of skincare afterwards.

Drunk Elephant Shaba Complex Firming Eye Serum

 

I love this eye serum. Now if only it wasn't so pricey. I would repurchase this if it's on sale again. I prefer this packaging because it's more hygienic.

Herbivore Prism AHA + BHA Exfoliating Glow Serum

I had high expectations for this product and was waiting a while for it to go on sale to try it. Love the packaging but not a fan of the product. The scent is a been smelly for me at first, but it went away after half the bottle was done. A bit sensitive at first but overall, it keeps my skin hydrated.

Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun : Rice + Probiotics Set

 Love this sunscreen! This product has made it to my holy grails. I loved it so much that I purchased 3 more. It goes on lightweight, love the packaging and no white cast. 

 

Laneige Water Sleeping Mask EX (Cherry Blossom)

 

  

This product is great for summer nights. Great for all seasons if you have oily skin.

ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 Foundation-Balos ST3

 ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 Foundation-Balos ST3

This is a nice skincare/moisturizer tint product. This texture is a bit thick for me to use during the August hot and humid weather, but I will be using this daily during the upcoming autumn season. It does give you a natural look but it's too shiny especially if you sweat outside. The key in using this product is just a few drops to smooth onto your face. If too much, then it can look heavy.

Lancôme Skin Feels Good Hydrating Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 23

 I had to exchange for an even lighter shade from 01N to 01C in the store after I tested it. I was even debating for the 009N milky peach because the colors are very different when you pump it out but as you rub into your skin, the color mixes well into your skin. If you are very fair, then I would suggest you skip this tinted moisturizer. Great for the summer but it does sink into your fine lines so don't use too much, just a light layer is enough. I have been using this during the hot temps well into 85s and 90F and it does well.

OTZI Hydro Crystal Lightweight Gel Moisturizer

 

This is the perfect lightweight summer moisturizer. It isn't sticky and doesn't clog my pores. Absorbs quick and gives my sensitive skin the perfect amount of hydration.

Drunk Elephant F-Balm™ Electrolyte Waterfacial Mask

Love this hydrating overnight mask. It feels like an emulsion, very light and glides easily.

My sensitive skin is smooth the morning after using this overnight cream. It doesn't give me milia or is sticky. Love the pump. Will repurchase this product again if it goes on sale.

belif Peat Miracle Revital Serum Concentrate

 The best serum I would use for the winter for oily combination or all year round for dry skin. I Love the jade green color packaging. I have been using this product during the spring summer season while wearing a mask for work for 8 hours to keep my face moisturized and break out less often. The texture is similar to aloe vera and glides on smoothly onto my skin.

Youth to the People overnight superberry hydrate glow dream mask

 

Don't enjoy this overnight mask. Yes it keeps my skin hydrated but it does have a tacky feeling that I do not enjoy. My skin does feel plump, but I prefer another type of overnight mask.

THE ORDINARY Squalane Cleanser

THE ORDINARY Squalane Cleanser

At first, I liked the texture, but I don't like the after feeling. It is best to use in the shower.

Nice gel cleanser but won't repurchase it. I don't feel as if this cleanser has removed the dirt and makeup residue on my skin when washing. I always have to use another cleanser afterwards to make myself feel better.

belif Aqua Bomb Brightening Vitamin C Cream

 

 

This brand never disappoints me in texture and performance. My sensitive skin always loves the feeling of this lightweight cream when applied onto my skin. Always a win and never a reaction. It moisturizes my skin, and it looks and feels pumped with hydration.

Fresh instant perfecting mask

 I love this whipped cream texture product! Apply it onto dry face and wait 10-20 minutes and then wipe it off. I usually use it on pamper sundays before I go into the shower to wash it off. My pores and skin feel so refreshed and hydrated.

Herbivore Prism AHA + BHA Exfoliating Glow Facial

 A bit messy to work with at first because the product is very watery. 

It is tingling the first time I used it and my face was red afterwards. But I would only use this cautiously once a week. I used their bakuchiol serum afterwards and the redness calm down a bit.

Nars Summer Solstice Cheek Duo

 Nars Summer Solstice Cheek Duo

I have fair to light skin, and I'm always scared of bronzers. I never liked the popular laguna bronzer, so I was hesitated to purchase this. But when I opened this product from the box, I was blinded by how shiny the packaging was. The color of the shade of the bronzer and highlight was perfect. It doesn't look chalky or "dirty" on my face. Love it and can't wait to use it the entire summer.
