Sulwhasoo Bloomstay vitalizing eye cream

I think Sulwhasoo discontinued this product because I no longer see it on its retail website while trying to repurchase this product. I love this gel texture and it absorbs into my eye area skin quite nicely. It doesn't leave milia on my face like the other white eye creams. Love the light floral sulwhasoo scent just mad that this product is discontinued.

 

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.

Biossance Squalane and Peptide Eye Gel

 

This is one eye gel that I love because my eye area tends to develop milia if I use rich creams, but this product doesn't do that. It has enough moisture for my dry eye area during the winter months. It doesn't have a scent and it's sticky. I loved the mini size so much that I purchased the full size. 

Chanel Micro Eye Gel Yeux

 Chanel Hydra Beauty Micro Gel Yeux Intense Smoothing Hydration Eye Gel

This product got me into applying eye products into my skincare routine. My eyes easily produce milia so I'm very frightened to use creams, but this product made my eye area feel smooth and hydrated. I loved the cooling effect.

Biossance Squalane + Marine Algae Eye Cream

 Biossance Squalane + Marine Algae Eye Cream

I cannot believe that I am saying this but I have finally found my holy grail of an eye cream. The area around my eyes are prone to milia so I was always wary of using eye creams and never found a good eye gel. Until, this eye cream, it is soft enough and light enough to give moisture to my fine lines around my area without giving my skin a chance to produce milia.

Perricone MD Re:Firm Eye

PerriconeMD Nureopeptide Eye Therapy Re:Firm Eye

It claims that it can decrease eye bags, fine lines and crow feet.
I love the soft creamy texture. Over the years, my eye area produces milia frequently so I was constantly in the market to find the best eye care for my eyes. Recently I came upon this eye serum/gel for my sensitive eyes. I love this after each application. However since it is on the more pricey side, I will repurchase if there's a sale or discount code.

CosRX Honey Ceramide Eye Cream

CosRX Honey Ceramide Eye Cream

Very soothe, moisturuzing and creamy.
It's a light gel consistent and great for my sensitive skin.
But it's a bit boring for me and I gave it away after using it for a couple of weeks.
I didn't see any change or tightening in the eye area. I did get a few small milia which I didn't like. I also had to schedule a facial extraction after a couple of weeks when I stopped using the product.

whamisa Organic Flowers Eye essence

whamisa Organic Flowers Eye essence



Whamisa is known for being waterless and substitutes the base with plant extract and aloe vera instead of water. It minimizes fine lines and firms eye area. It also brighten my eye area. It's perfect for sensitive skin. The amount in the bottle is huge. I haven't gotten milia since I've used this. A little goes a long way especially since the texture is so lightweight. I am never going back to eye creams. Eye essences are my thing from now on!

Reskin Eye Gel Cream

Reskin Eye Gel Cream
 
I was honored to get chosen to review this Reskin Eye Gel Cream through 0.8L.
Reskin is an European organic cosmetic brand and this was my first product from the brand.
The "80% snail extract" ingredient reminds me of the mizon version. The anti-wrinkle part lives up to its claim. After using it for a weekend (about 6 applications), my eye area does feel tightened. The other organic ingredients include royal jelly extract, kudzu root extract, and protulaca extract.

This is a soft gel, thankfully it isn't sticky.
Definely a repurchase since I'm almost in my 30s and it's time to take care of the eye area!

Jurlique Purely Age-Defying Eye Cream

Jurlique Purely Age-Defying Eye Cream
I got it around $50 from Sephora along with all the other goodies.
This was my second product from the Jurlique brand. My first one was the Rose mist.

It is a decent eye cream and it's great for sensitive skin.

Anti-wrinkle and firming - I'm just using it for preventive care I am in my thirties and I think it's about time to focus on your eyes more.

ilike Organic Skincare – Age Defense Bioflavonoid Eye Cream

ilike Organic Skincare – Age Defense Bioflavonoid Eye Cream
This is a watery texture.
It hurt my eyes when it accidently got inside my eyes.
I tear up every time I tried to apply it under my eyes.
It even itches!
Not re-purchasing.
No change after using the a quarter of the bottle.

Macy's Estee Lauder MakeUp and Skincare Package

Macy's Estee Lauder MakeUp and Skincare Package

Recently Estee Lauder had a promotion with Macy for any $35 purchase, you get a makeup trio and skincare duo. My mom is a huge fan of Estee Lauder but I never really brought much stuff from the brand. The only thing I own from this brand is the Deluxe All-Over Face Compact, mascara and a couple of blush brushes and I loved the blush. The blush colors are so pigmented so I know that I wouldn't be worried about the color payoff on the eye shadow that I will be getting.

The primer is very creamy and your foundation looks nice on top of the primer.

I'm not a fan of the mascara because I have used that same mascara in full-sized before and it smudges. The anti-aging creams were given to my mom. Originally I wanted to pink the famous brown colored packaging night eye cream, but my mom wanted this set instead. She even took the perfume-I liked the scent also. The eye pencil was mediocre to me.

But the eye shadow palette!!!!! Gorgeous. When I opened the eye shadow compact - I gasped!!! I never have gasped when I opened makeup-there was a balance of shimmer and matte finished shadows.

And with the eye-chain? I wanted the panda instead but I wasn't given the option to choose :( 

VERITE Dual Treatment Eye Cream

VERITE Dual Treatment Eye Cream 20ml / 60,000 won


Perfect for my sensitive eye area.
No reaction and very creamy and moisturizing.
As long as my eye area doesn't hurt when applied, then I am a happy camper.
In a tube-very hygienic.
Will repurchase if see it in stores.
 

General Haul #36 - Second Annual Peach and Lily Sample Sale in NYC!

I went to this sale right after working the midnight shift at the hospital.
I arrived here at 8:45am and there were about 250 people in front of me, allowing me to get in around 10am. Not bad, but there were so many people that got off the line before me because they were going to be late for work. I feel that attending sample sales on the days that you work are such bad ideas because you have no clue when you will be in the doors. If you made it in, you really did survived lol.

I missed the first annual Peach and Lily sample sale last year so I attended this year at the much larger rented warehouse ground floor space at Stollway at 250 W 39th St. The hours were from 8 am - 10 pm or until supplies last today. I heard that the first girl was here about 6:30am - that's dedication! No point in RSVP-ing because everyone was getting on the line and going in at an ordering fashion. Once in, there was a mandatory bag check on the right. I didn't bring any bags so I just grab a Peach and Lily tote and bypassed that line and started shopping.

The staff was organized and restocking and maintaining order allowing people to shop for 20 minutes. To be honest, that was more than enough time to look at the products. The products were all priced with colored stickers so you knew the prices without having to waste time asking the staff! The prices were straight forwarded-$3, $6, $10, $15, $22, $35. I wasn't as lucky to get some of the $35 products that I was hoping for, but that's ok. There were more than plenty other options to choose from.

The goodies that I got were:

1. Lagom Cellus Deep Moisture Cream - $29 retail - perfect for winter time
2. MayCoop Mini Raw Sauce - retail $14 - wasn't happy that they didn't have the full-sized product.
3. MayCoop Raw Moisturizer $40 retail - 80ml - good for all skin (perfect for summer)
4. Be the skin - Botanical Nutrition Power Toner - $29 retail 150ml- perfect for dry skin
5. Be the Skin - Botanical Pore Toner - $25 retail 150ml- perfect for combo to oily skin
6. Be the Skin - Botanical Nutrition Serum - $35 retail 50ml - good for all skin types
7. Be the Skin - Botanical Nutrition Power Cream -$39 retail 50ml- good for dry skin
8. CremorLab Mineral Treatment Essence - $42 retail 270ml - best for combo-oil skin
9. Cremorlab Shadow-Off Eye Cream - $48 retail 15ml - best for my sensitive skin
10. Kicho Sheep Oil Cream - $58 retail 65ml - best for all
11. The Lotus Essence Lotion with Lotus Leaf $64 retail 125ml - I will be using this as an emulsion
12. The Lotus Essence with Lotus Leaf $64 retail 125ml
13. The Lotus Leaf and Aloe Calming Serum $52 retail 70ml - best for this summer's bad sun rays
14. Shangpree S-energy long lasting concentrated serum $120 retail 30ml - good for sensitive and aging skin
15. Tosowoong TimeShift First Essence AP Therapy - 150ml I didn't see this on their website, but the packaging looks like a dupe for the SK-II
16. Primera Massage Cream - I think I got the last one. I'm a fan of this brand but I was surprised to see it here. I will use this as a body cream for this upcoming winter.

I was looking for the Kicho Sleeping mask but that was nowhere to be seen, but I was happy that I saw the beautiful packaged Sheep Oil Cream product. I was also looking for the Koh Gen Do brand, but since it was new to Peach and Lily, chances are that it wasn't going to be at the sample sale today. There's only a few more hours left to attend this one-day sale today.

You get your receipt either via email or text and the receipt is based on color coding not organized by product name so count how many products you get and double check when they charge you.
I think I purchased enough skincare for this upcoming winter and summer seasons to come!
Happy Shopping!
Individual reviews coming up soon when I use these products one by one!

SULWHASOO Timetreasure Renovating Eye Cream

Wonderful cream for dry skin, just not for me.

If you can splurge, get this if you want a moisturizing cream.
For fine lines and wrinkles, this won't do.
I prefer this over the Sulwhasoo Ginseng eye cream.
This gave me milia and redness and itchness, so I am happy that I brought the 10 samples instead of the full-sized product.


    

BELIF Moisturizing and Firming Eye Cream

This my holy grail eye cream during the winter time of my mid-20s.
I went through countless numbers of eye creams and I still come back to this one.
It doesn't hurt or itch my sensitive eye area.
It's lightweight, creamy.
Very moisturizing however doesn't do much for fine lines and wrinkles.

Now that I'm almost entering my 30s, I need to find my next holy grail eye cream preferable with anti-wrinkle properties.

Next time I go visit Korea or Taiwan, I will buy their BELIF Peat Miracle Revital Eye Cream

Mizon Snail Repair Eye Cream

Mizon Snail Repair Eye Cream - I have the all-in-three snail cream from Mizon so I think that the eye cream uses similar ingredients.

This is perfect for someone who is just starting out with eye creams. Preferable someone in their early 20s. This only gives a bit of moisturizing and can tone up inflammation a bit. Other than that, nothing else. Don't buy if you need something for fine lines, puffiness, dark circles or wrinkles. I had thrown this in my drawer at work if I need a quick pick-me-up for my eyes. It's soft light and non-sticky.

Hanyul skincare mini reviews

 
Hanyul Rich Effect Gift 5 items - My mother seem to love this kit. The purple line is the anti-wrinkle line from the brand.
 
Hanyul Anti-Aging Duo (2Items) - serum and cream
The cream has a very light medicinal floral scent which I love. It's very light weight however I will not re-purchase this line.

Rice Essential Skin Softener - very silky and smooth feeling as a toner for my skin.

Rice Essential Skin Emulsion - my favorite emulsion during the winter, but might be a bit oily for combination skin during the summer!

Geuk Jin Emulsion - used this one beofre the rice one, thought it was ok. Rice is better.

Optimizing Serum

Shin-ri Tae Anti-Aging Cream - light cream almost like an emulsion. firms well.

Baek Hwa Go Wrinkle Filter Cream - this is best for dry and older skin. Very creamy.

Jak Hwa Goh Intensive Care Cream - firms really well. my favorite cream and my mom took it from me haha.

Baek Hwa Goh Silky Skin Essence - Very light, good for combination skin. Very strong medicinal scent.

Baek Hwa Goh Intensive Care Eye Cream - Very light and moisturizing eye cream. Very good for sensitive skin. Weill re-purchase this in the future.

   

History of Whoo - Jinyul Eye Cream

The History of Whoo has a higher age group of customers who needs the anti-aging ingredient in their skincare and make-up.
I got 3 samples because I am experimenting with finding the perfect eye cream.
Soft and non-sticky texture when applied. 
No mess and absorbs well.
No scent, ok for sensitive eyes and skin, easy to apply. 
I don't have dark circles now so I cannot tell you if it makes dark circles disappear.
I applied it twice a day, and it made my eye area itchy and dry.
One thing is that it didn't make my skin produce milia in the area.
It is an anti-aging product but I didn't see any change in fine lines after 3 samples (a week's use).
However, this eye cream doesn't fully make me want to purchase the full-sized product. 
Plus super expensive!

IOPE samples

IOPE Moisture Skin Soft Peeling Gel

Very nice peeling gel. I used this on a Saturday morning and was feeling lazy and didn't want to use cleanser to wash my face. I didn't have make-up on so this peeling gel could be used as a cleanser and peeling gel. Perfect for lazy people like me. 

 

IOPE Whitegen Ampoule Essence Bioluminous

Why didn't I know about this essence before the winter months started. Essence with ampoule added are the best for the winter months when your skin needs moisture. I will definitely buy his next winter if it is still in stock.

 

IOPE Bio Eye Cream Youth Complete

This eye cream is perfect for the summertime. However, I used this light eye cream on my sensitive skin during the winter is it wasn't moisture enough. 

  

UV Shield

Light and does the job of a sunscreen. Not sticky.

 

super vital cream BioIntensive

I really like this cream. It is light and has enough moisture.  My skin didn't product milia after use of this product so it is good for sensitive skin.
