Review: Bonvivant Botanical Mellow Clay Mask - Mint Tea Tree (#Green Scrub Clay)

Image
Hi Everyone! I bought this clay mask as a set, there are 2 other masks that go with it that I will review independently later on. I had bought this from Memebox.com, back when they did sell products on their website. It makes me so sad that it's actually really hard to find this mask nowadays because this is a GREAT mask! I absolutely love it and would totally re-purchase it again and again. And I have! I've bought this mask at least 4 times and I've given it away as gifts too! That's how good it is!!!! The Mint Tea Tree mask treats troubled and oily skin , removing dead skin cells and absorbing excess sebum with it's Tea Tree Oil. It also tightens enlarged pores and cools the skin's surface, leaving skin radiant in a non-greasy way. As you can see in this swatch of the mask, you can actually see some hard "flakes" inside it, this is Walnut Shell extract powder, which acts as a great exfoliator when you are washing off this mask and ge...

Review: Beauty of Joseon Dynasty Cream

Image
Hi Everyone! This cream is very reminiscent of ancient traditional Korean skincare. Infused with incredible ingredients such as Korean Ginseng and Orchid Extract, this cream brightens the complexion, firms skin, and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. This cream is inspired by the allure of Joseon royalty and carefully crafted with ancient ingredients such as Orchid, Honey, Ginseng, Pure Water, dried Radish Greens, and Flaxseed Oil . This cream can fight wrinkles, brighten skin tone and firms to deliver a natural younger looking skin. The natural herbal and plant extracts help strengthen the skin's barrier to result in overall healthier skin. Whenever I use this cream at night, I notice a big difference the next morning on my skin. Especially on nights where I put a thicker layer of this cream on, kind of like a sleeping mask/pack, my skin is plump and luminescent the next day!       Can I just say that I absolutely LOVE this packaging?! It...

Review: Botanic Farm Rice Ferment First Essence

Image
     I received this essence as a Christmas/Birthday gift from my sister. It had been on my list of skincare products that I had wanted to try and it has become one of my favorite essences that I have ever used! She bought it for me from Amazon, however, I just checked on their website and it is currently unavailable. Don't fret! You can still buy it straight from Botanic Farm website OR Sokoglam. Sokoglam has literally just curated this essence onto their website, so you can also buy it from there. What is an essence?       Essences are used to refresh your complexion, hydrating your skin while aiding in repair and cell turnover. Usually an essence is a concentrated formula that specifically targets wrinkles, fine lines, and dull and uneven skin tones.     This essence from Botanic Farm is super lightweight and is formulated with 83.95% Fermented Rice Water and naturally derived Botanical Extracts, infusing the skin with brighte...

Review: Secret Key - Skinny Real Quick Eye Liner (Renewal)

Image
This is PART 2 of my eyeliner review, continuing from last times eyeliner review. After the disaster of the MacQueen eyeliner , where I didn't even have a full eye of eyeliner, I went in and used this other eyeliner that I had bought from Yesstyle.com at the same time that I bought the MacQueen eyeliner . This eyeliner is the Secret Key - Skinny Real Quick Eye Liner (Renewal) . Tell you the truth I don't really know if  the "Renewal" makes that much of a difference, it could just be for naming purposes. I bought this eyeliner because there was some sort of make-up sale on Yesstyle.com at the time and this eyeliner was one of the "Most Popular" ones and it was REALLY CHEAP (which is always very good in my opinion). Also, since I am a gold member, there was an additional 10% off on the product, so that brought the price down little more. I am happy to say that for this eyeliner I'm 100% sure I got the correct and real product! The packing lo...

Review: MACQUEEN Waterproof Pen Eyeliner

Image
   Hello Everyone! Have you ever heard of the brand name Macqueen? I sure haven't. I was on yesstyle.com looking through the beauty sales and I saw this eyeliner as a "Most Popular" product and it had great reviews. The prices was SO CHEAP and good reviews, so I threw caution to the wind and bought myself one.    I am pretty minimum when it comes to make-up. I usually only use eyeliner and mascara. Occasionally, if the event calls for it, I'll wear some lipstick and possibly some concealer. I know I have acne/pimples on my face, but I just don't really like putting too much make-up on my face. I guess I like my natural look, even if my natural look isn't away my best look. Some info about the product. MACQUEEN - Waterproof Pen Eyeliner Yesstyle.com says: Fine-tipped eyeliner makes it easy to contour and control eye definition. The waterproof liquid formula creates thin, smooth strokes that can be layered for more emphasis. Keeps a long-las...

Review: Neogen Day-Light Protection Sunscreen SPF 50 PA+++

Image
Hi Everyone! Today we will be going over SUNSCREEN! Sunscreen is REALLY important and you should apply it everyday, even on days that look cloudy, rainy, or snowy. Sunlight consists of UV rays, such as UVA and UVB .         UVA rays are present throughout the day and are the most important cause of premature aging of the skin. UVA rays are also responsible for photo-sensitivity and contribute to skin cancer.       UVB rays are the most intense, especially from the 10AM to 4PM; it's most responsible for sunburn and skin cancer development. A general rule is that you should apply sunscreen approximately 30 minutes before going out into the sun, this way the sunscreen has had time to absorb into your skin and be less likely to wash off from sweat. You should also re-apply sunscreen throughout the day. According to the FDA: "Scientific data demonstrated that products that are "Broad Spectrum SPF 15" [of higher] have been s...

REVIEW: Neogen Dermalogy Bio-Peel Gauze Peeling Green Tea Pads

Image
Hi Everyone! Sorry it's been a while since I last posted a review. My last semester in college has started and it already seems like I've been in school for so long instead of just 3 weeks. I will try my best to be more constant in my posts. Today I will be reviewing the NEOGEN DERMALOGY BIO-PEEL GAUZE PEELING GREEN TEA PADS . I have actually used the other "flavors" that Neogen has, Wine & Lemon, however, I've already finished them a while ago and don't have any pictures to provide, but I can still give some general information about them. These gauze pads provide a gentle manual exfoliation combined with chemical peeling effects from the green tea serum which will help remove dead skin cells, cleanse, and purify your skin. After using 1 pad, your skin should feel smoother through the unique 3-layer 100% cotton gauze pad, which will exfoliate off the dead skin cells at the surface of your skin, thereby, providing clearer looking skin. If you l...
