Laneige Multiberry Yogurt Peeling Gel Review

Hello hello! It’s been a while since our last post and we’re finally back with a new review! I was in Hong Kong last June and was on the lookout for a facial scrub. I was deciding between two Japanese brands when I saw this on the Laneige shelf at Sasa. I don’t know what it is about Laneige but I’m always curious about their products. Haha! Anyway, I ended up buying this one and have used it regularly since.

Better Than Shu Uemura? Kose Softymo Deep Cleansing Oil Review

We know, we know. Our title is a pretty wild claim. Better than the most (in)famous cleansing oil in the whole wide world?! Well, what you'll hear from us is one big, resounding yes. If you're looking for a Shu Uemura dupe, you should definitely check out this cleanser from Kose. Like Shu Uemura, Kose is a popular Japanese company that houses and distributes a whole range of products, from high end to super affordable drugstore products. This Deep Cleansing Oil falls under Softymo, their line of cleansers.

Cure Natural Aqua Gel Review - Is It Worth The Hype?

Let me begin this review by saying I am a firm believer in exfoliation. You can pile on all the toners, serums and moisturizers you have but if you don't exfoliate, your skin won't look as good as it could be because it won't be able to effectively absorb your skincare products.

The Ultimate Laneige Water Bank Skincare Line Review

Hi everyone! Its been a while since I last wrote a review so today, I'll be giving my thoughts on three products from a popular Korean skincare brand, Laneige. I've been using the Water Bank Essence, Water Bank Gel Cream and the Water Bank Moisture Cream from Laneige since January 2013. Does it work just as beautifully as it is packaged? Let's find out! :D

Skin Food Lettuce and Cucumber Water Drop Essence Review

Typical Skin Care Purchasing Scenario:

You spend an entire day trying to find the best product for your skin type / weather / money. You end up feeling really broke and tired and unproductive because obviously, you can't afford the 5 different creams you found online and because you have only one face. So you agonize. Which product can I get better results with for less cash out? (~But the packaging of the other one is just SO pretty!~) It's an internal battle, and after what feels like pulling teeth, you finally settle on your final list and feel excited just with the prospect of using them. Visualize them sitting oh so prettily on your dresser next to the other stuff you painstakingly shopped around for, before. So you go the store, look through the shelves, but you can't find what's on your list so you ask the lady, "Miss, is this all? Where is the <insert product name here>?" and she says, "Sorry, not available."

*cue pulling of hair and sound of my heart breaking*

No, but really, that was the scenario from the day I bought the Skin Food Lettuce & Cucumber Water Drop Essence. :( I originally planned to get the Skin Food Royal Honey Hydro Cream which has glowing reviews on their website, but woe is me, other people wanted that too and exhausted the store's stock. I couldn't go back to the hotel and repeat the entire process of research-agonize-finalize, so I had to find something else since I was already at the store and had money I was willing to burn spend. XD

Bioderma Sébium H20 Cleanser Review 250ml

Today I'll be reviewing the Bioderma Sebium H20 Cleanser for combination or oily skin. If you read a lot of beauty reviews, you've probably stumbled across a review of this product or the more popular Crealine version (sensitive skin). If you haven't, this product has a micelle solution, meaning its hardworking, cleansing particles are suspended/infused in water - thus making it very lightweight, non-greasy, and fresh! So is it worth the hype? 

Laneige Power Essential Skin Refiner (Moisture) Review

Hi everyone! It's been quite a while since our last review and we'd like to apologize for our inactivity; we've been extremely busy the past few months but we're trying to find time to write reviews. We've got a lot of new stuff to rave (and rant!) about, but first up is something from Laneige. We've previously reviewed the Water Sleeping Pack EX from the popular Korean skincare brand and will also review the entire Water Bank line in the near future, so watch out for that! But anyway, to start, here's my review of the Laneige Power Essential Skin Refiner (Moisture - for dry to normal skin types). This product is meant to be a toner, to be used after cleansing and before moisturizing. I took these photos when I just bought it, but I've been using this for about 5 months, and am halfway through with it. Without further ado, let's start!

I originally wanted to get the wildly popular Water Bank Essence (review here!) , but I couldn't justify buying another essence as I was already using two (Sana Namerakahonpo Essence and Innisfree Green Tea Serum), so I picked up this toner as I already ran out. Ugh. I blame Song Hye Kyo for my obsession with owning products from Laneige. Why must you be so perfect?! ლಠ益ಠლ

INNISFREE Green Tea Seed Serum Review (80ml)

Hi everyone! For my second review (this is T, by the way), I'll be talking about Innisfree's Green Tea Seed Serum. Innisfree is a Korean skincare brand known for using organic products (whether it's 100% organic or not, I don't know and don't really mind much XD) or products that are made from natural resources. Let's get started!

Looks very organic and tempting, no? Koreans always have great marketing/advertising!

SNSD's Yoona is the face of the brand

Holy Grail: Laneige Water Sleeping Pack EX Review

Today, I will be reviewing the Laneige Water Treatment Sleeping Pack EX. Laneige is a Korean skincare and makeup brand, endorsed by the beautiful Song Hye Kyo. If you're familiar with how Koreans prefer to do their makeup, you'll notice that they love the dewy, "boing-boingk" (meaning bouncy) look. When I first saw the commercial for this product, all I thought was, "I HAVE to have it." Check the video out for yourself :D

 ... See what I mean? Who wouldn't want to wake up with super moisturized, dewy skin? So this product is a sleeping mask (obviously haha!) that you put as the last step of skincare. Laneige says to use it once or twice a week, but the product is so friendly that the only thing you'll get from using it every night is hydrated skin. Anyway, on to the review!
