Review: L'herboflore Lychee Translucent Hydromask

Image
I was first attracted to the beautiful package design of the L’HERBOFLORE mask sheet then I saw lots of people on Instagram having posting about how good their mask sheets are and that’s when I start searching for online stores to purchase their mask sheet to try for myself. Now I fell in Love with them and I want More.

Review: LoveMore Rosa Hybrida Whitening Mask Sheet

Image
First time trying Lovemore mask I was so excited to try this mask since it’s getting cold and coming close to Autumn season. My skin is feeling dull and rough so I had to pick a mask that is comfortable and hydrating. And I’m so glad I pick the right one because this mask is for hydrated soft skin, brighten and refine skin and moisturising skin’s fine lines. 

Thursday Plantation Mini Haul

Image
My new acne products that I’m going to try out by an Australian brand call Thursday Plantation. Initially I was running out of tea tree oil by The Body Shop so I was looking for a replacement and I ask my mum to go to our local health store to get a tea tree oil for me that I remember they have some last time I have a look. Without looking at the brand I just knew I have a backup of tea tree oil.  Then my mum’s friend visited and we were talking about mask sheets then move on to talking about tea tree mask sheets.Then she mentioned that there is a brand called Thursday Plantation, they made an acne gel that is really effective and she brought lots of it for her sister to use in China. Then I told her about my new tree oil that I have brought and coincidently it was the brand. So here I am, with three of the products from Thursday Plantation.

Review: Cosrx Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence

Image
"This Advanced Snail Gel Lotion is protects skin from moisture loss and keeps skin smooth, and healthy without the use of heavy oils" I’m in love with snail skincare product when I first tried it which was back 2 years ago in the beginning of 2015 where I went in the trend of Korean’s Skincare Routine. My first full snail skincare routine was by the brand Mizon snail repair line which includes: all in one cream, to an ampule, to a gel cream and an eye cream which all contains snail filtrates as the ingredient. The reason I love skincare product which contain snail filtrates are it helps a lots with my acne in prevention, treating, healing and acne pigmentation. Also it helps with the overall skin tone, the texture of my skin, and the water to oil balance of my skin. So it’s an ‘all in one’ ingredient for me because it has so many benefits and lets see what Cosrx snail essence would do for my skin?

MyStylingBox Haul February 2017

Image
First time ordering from this website, I mostly order mask sheets and they are mostly from Taiwanese brand Eg, Lovemore & L’HERBOFLORE. As I really wanted to try mask sheets from these two brand that’s why I pick several flavours from each brand to have a try.  I picked items that are tailor for my skin type - oily, dehydrated, pigmentation, large pores and dullness. The other reasons I went for these two brand were, I heard really good reviews on these two brands mask sheet on Instagram and their packaging looks beautiful and well design.

Review: Etude House Moistfull Collagen Facial Toner 200ml

Image
Moisture durability strengthening toner contains super Collagen water (Hydrolyzed Collagen) that gives your skin a lot of moisture. I have really enjoy using the Etude House’s Moistfull Collagen line and their first product that I have tried was the moistfull essence which I really enjoy using. Since I have dehydrated skin but oily skin type, I tend to find products that are easily absorb and non-sticky.  I was choosing a more hydrating toner for my winter skincare routine and since I enjoy the Moistfull Collagen line so much I decided to give this toner a try. The price was reasonable for the size of this toner and it claims to help with skin collagen and moisture. 

Jolse Haul February 17

Image
This is a mini haul that I have ordered on Jolse’s website, these products are mostly for helping with my acne that suddenly decided they want to come back and visit me. Which I don’t like too much of, so I have to look for a solution to keep them at bay. Well, at least minimise the amount of them even my mum notices and question why my acne came back. They were having a sale on their Cosrx products which I have to take an advantage of and my holy grail master pimple patches is running low so I have to stock up and I want to try their cleansing pad that everyone is talking about on Instagram. It got shipped out on the 20 Jan 17 and I got the parcel on the 08 Feb 17.

Sulwhasoo Essential Deluxe Set

The Sulwhasoo Essential collection is formulated with ancient Korean herbs to restore balance and skin wellness, minimising early signs of ageing. This nourishing skincare regimen balances the skin, creating hydrated, supple, firm skin. The Korean herbal recipe restores harmony and balance to the skin, minimising the signing of ageing on the skin.  I was having my eyes on the Sulwhasoo’s Essential Collection for a long time now since it’s made from Korean herbs which really interest me to try it and most importantly it corporates ingredients like Ginseng. I know that Herbal ingredients are very beneficial for internal and external health and I believe in Ying Yang and the Asian philosophy of Harmony and balance.

Sum37 Time Energy Special Set

Image
Su:m37 Time Energy is naturally fermented cosmetics which recovers the exhausted skin by normalising the disturbed rhythm of the skin by using the fermented material, which has the vitality of life from long waiting. I brought this set from a local dealer who import Korean skincare to New Zealand and sell them privately. I got a special discount for this set because I brought this during the sale period but the dealer has close down her shop sadly as she had open an another business so I have to look somewhere else to buy high end Korean products from.

I place my order on 14/12/16, parcel got sent out on 19/12/16 and I received my parcel on 24/12/16 which is pretty quick as it was sent directly from Taiwan and it’s shipped by EMS. Products that are in bottle form and fragile items were wrap in bubble wraps and also extra foam bubbles were put in the box to protect the items from moving so it wouldn’t collide with each other during shipping. Which was really good and I’m super happy with their shipping.

My Current Morning Routine

Image
My routine always change as I love to try out new products and I am at a stage where I want to try out skincare products to see which fits my skin better. This routine I have been using since changing to spring and now its summer. For spring time I usually use products that a light weight, more to a watery consistence, easily absorb and choose gel type cream. As I have oily skin, acne prone, it gets clog up easily and it's dehydrated underneath my skin, there are many other problems as well but if I target each area with a product it will take a long long time to put them....   I'm quiet new to the Korean 10 step skincare routine so I'm still experimenting with which products should go to which steps as it can get complicated with all these products from different asian countries, their consistence or their labels on the products. So this is the ways and order I use my skincare products.
