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!

Beauteque February Mask Maven 2017 review

Use promo code "ILENE" for a special something (10% OFF) at checkout at beauteque.com and/or beauteque.com/subscriptions.

Every month there could be 9-11 masks in every bag which can range anything including sheet mask, hand mask, wash-off mask, eye mask, foot mask and etc. If you buy it per month or up to 3 months it is $15, $14 for 6 months or $13 for 12 months.

1- Y.E.T. Don't worry sheetmask - heart beating/nutrition - a good cheap sheet mask.

2- Annie's way French rose silk sheet mask. Rose is my new favorite ingredient so I was happy about this one.

3- purederm choco cacao collagen mask - such a mediocre sheetmask and it dried up right away.

4- Annie's way jelly mask lavender- calm and soothe

5- nature planet relaxing blending herbs green tea soothing. The nature planet brand is very new to me and I was happy that this mask was introduced into the mask maven.

6- nature planet relaxing blending herb black tea - anti-aging

7- tsaio advanced complex mask nourish brighten and repair skin

8- tsaio deep moisture mask hyaluronia acid and aloe Vera

9- tsaio firming mask anti aging Anything with firming is great!

This month mask maven was majoring Taiwanese sheet mask which was fun and nice!

Kicho Sheep Oil Cream

Kicho Sheep Oil Cream - $58 retail 65ml - best for all the stuff I purchased at the Peach and Lily sale this past summer in NYC.

I have been using this as a night cream and day cream during the autumn and winter months and it's great for sensitive skin. It's a light moisturizer and it doesn't burn the skin. It either locks moisture in or it provides the perfect amount of moisture for my skin. I have combination skin so I don't like thick creams or sleeping packs.

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.

Sephora Collection Rouge Brillance in N14

This is a light pink sheer.
Very moisturizing and creamy with limited or next to no color payoff so not repurchasing.
But my mom liked it when I gave it to her.

Bare Minerals Oil Balm

This product was my first BareMinerals "skincare" item from the brand and I was expecting high hopes because I like their powder foundation that I received at Generation Beauty NYC this past September. But I didn't really like it as much as I though I would have.

It is an oil balm for the skin around your eye area. After using it for a week, the area around me eyes were itchy and red and they get dry more often than necessary which I found odd. I thought that this product was going to give my skin a little more moisture but it didn't.

Plus it didn't do anything for "smoothing away the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles".
