lavera all - round cream/ sensitive skin

Image
It looks like a body butter but it's not as heavy as a normal body butter. Since it's all round cream (which means you can use it all over your body) I use it mostly on my face. It's organic and all natural so it can be used on a face. It hydrates very well and is suitable for sensitive skin. I have an oily skin but I still need moisture and hydration. It has a very nice and natural scent. I apply it any time after I wash my face. It doesn't leave my skin sticky or oily or slippery. It gets absorbed by giving you a matte finish. Why do I like it? I like it because I can use it on my face after a Retin A treatment and it won't burn or sting and so on. I could use organic coconut oil and I did use to use it but then I found this one and I like it. 

A'PIEU Sweet Tea Lip Balm #3 Red Apple Tea

Image
Capacity : 6 g. It's a tinted lip balm type (it doesn't stain). The scent is very nice but not natural (obviously). It's not sticky it feels like a decent lip balm in red with a cool undertone. It blends well with my natural lip colour. I think it is suitable for every day use as for an occasion. I can make it look less visible by applying less product but I can also make it more stand out on my lips by applying more (obviously). It doesn't look like a heavy lipstick it gives more of a natural look. I've ended up buying another one!

SKINFOOD Broccoli Watery Ampoule

Image
It contains 40ml. It has no smell what is great. It is very liquidy like water. My personal experience with it is that it did nothing to my skin. Maybe I had to buy the whole range of these products , which I didn't, cause I think if the product works it should work on its own . I went through a half of the bottle. But it feels sticky on my face and maybe it does some sort of hydration but no whitening / brightening effect. So I'm not going to repurchase it.

Jason Sea Fresh mouthwash and Jason Healthy Mouth mouthwash

Image
Each contains 473 ml. I think Cinnamon clove is my favourite cause it smells and tastes so good! Both of them are very powerful and work great. The main reason I like them is that I'm not afraid to swallow it ( I'm obviously not drinking it on purpose ) but every product you use to brush your teeth stays in your mouth no matter how hard you would try to rinse it. I have read somewhere that through out the year you end up eating the whole tube of toothpaste (or maybe more than one I can't remember). But that doesn't bother me any more cause I switched to all natural and organic oral hygiene products. I have reordered the cinnamon clove but I don't think I'm going to reorder sea fresh  unless it will be on sales. Sea fresh is not as typical or traditional mint flavour. It took me several uses to get use to it but now it's okay. I use it as it is in the bottle but sometimes if I find it too strong for me I would mix it with a bit of water.  A little go

Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream Cotton Fit SPF30 PA++ N02 Light beige

Image
I was getting a lot of samples of this BB cream so I have been trying it since then. It has a nice light scent. All of the samples that I received came in N02 Light beige which is much lighter colour than my actual skin tone. But I go around with a tissue to absorb the excess shin/ oil and powder it with a powder suitable for my skin tone. So you can't actually say that it isn't my shade it blend very well with your natural skin tone. I have notices that is works really great with my oily skin. I can't say that it will give you a great oil control but it does give me a better oil control than any other BB creams that I have tried. The coverage that it provides is medium to high. I could also say that it becomes one with the skin and it doesn't exaggerate my flakiness that I tend to have from time to time. I like that it provides SPF 30! SPF is very important for me! I think I need to mention that I did buy the full size of it in a darker shade W24 Honey

Holika Holika UV Wonder shield Powdery spray SPF50+ PA+++ and Holika Holika UV Wonder shield Smart Sun Spray SPF50+ PA+++

Image
Both of them are 100ml although Holika Holika UV Wonder shield Powdery spray bottle appears to be larger. The sent is very light (What is great). The spray works great but I prefer to spray it on my palm first and then spread it on my face (I don't spray directly onto my face). Yes, it's suitable for a face as for a whole body. Holika Holika UV Wonder shield Smart Sun Spray SPF50+ PA+++ Smart Sun Spray leaves the skin slightly highlighted/ glowing. Holika Holika UV Wonder shield Powdery spray SPF50+ PA+++ And Powdery spray makes your skin velvety matte.  Both products feel very smooth and soft and lightweight on a skin. None of them ever broke me out. It doesn't make your skin pale or oily. I use it as a base under my make-up as well as on it's own. I like to spray it into my hair parting to protect the skin on my head as it gets burnt easily/ to protect skin underneath my hair . It's stay for really long on the skin and it seems to be water

ETUDE HOUSE Black Head Final Kit Double-up

Image
 This toner is more foamy than Lioele Blackhead Clear toner or Missha Super Aqua Black Head Clear Kit toner. It works just as great as the other two previously mentioned. I use it for my entire face and I keep it on my skin for 25 minutes. It is a great product. It does what it's suppose to do. It cleans pores perfectly but I'm not going to repurchase it just because I don't need an extra cream that comes with it . So I stay loyal to Lioele Blackhead Clear toner as I like it a lot.
