[REVIEW] ISFREN Rx Magic Eye Solution ( For Dark Circles & Wrinkles )

I'm checking out all the drafts I have and found out this pretty old draft that I haven't finished o.o

Seriously, this was like ages ago..even before I got a new camera. I apologized to Korea Cosmetic because they sponsored me to review this product.

 I still used this eye cream and just started to used it again because I always forgot to put on eye cream every day TT I still need to cut off my laziness of putting all these skin care steps..that's why you always saw my bad dark circles and wrinkles and that's because I always sleep so late..usually around 3am to 4am..

(I know sleeping late can cause bad skin..but I can't help it >.<)

I even looks younger in photos!lol..(and maybe the reason was my wrinkles from lack of sleep are lesser that time compared to now..)

I love the texture of the eye cream because it is really light, absorbs really fast and non-greasy. It doesn't irritates my eyes and always keep my under eyes moisturized. I never thought that I would love this eye cream so much that I even abandoned my Holika Holika Bulgarian Eye Cream for sometime..lol

Even when I woke up from my sleep, my under eyes still feel very moisturized :)

My dark circles are lessen and even my wrinkles..:D

*sigh* saying wrinkles so many times makes me looks like obaachan..lol

Other than that, I love the fact that this eye cream have no fragrance and no artificial coloring.

Since I had a sensitive skin too, I never had any complications with the use of this eye cream.

I don't know how much this cost but usually eye cream cost a lot and this even included with anti-wrinkles properties plus I'm not even sure how can you get this. Maybe asking Korea Cosmetic website should help!

Overall, I like this so much, it just perfect but to access it is a bit hard..:(

and Korea Cosmetics page is inactive since February. I'm not sure why because Minnie don't even reply me since last year.

Update (14/6/2013) I just found one that they had changed the packaging for the eye cream and you can buy it here. They sell it for a quite cheap price :)

[REVIEW] Etude House I'm Blooming Sebum Control Mist

I'm currently try to balance between my makeup and skin care because recently, I don't like to put much make-up onto my face and I think to focus on skin care more. Too bad the skin care that I aim is very expensive and not available locally plus credit card is needed to purchase them from overseas. My dad gives me permission to use his credit card but he gonna be mad if he knows I'm buying the expensive skin care..haha.. so I took another option by just trying other Korean and Japanese brands that I can access easily without credit card..lol

I saw this new I'm Blooming line by Etude House back then and one of the product is made from pure green tea which I've been looking for some time :D

I watched the JungSaemMol tips for oily skin -how to prep skin for oily skin- and they used pure green to replace the normal toner as a result of controlling the oil. Coincidentally, Etude House is releasing a product made by pure green tea so I grab it without hesitation(plus they promote it as organic too!)

The bottle is really huge for a mist which is 150ml! I thought it gonna be smaller than that :D

The packaging is all pink with cute small flowers details on the box. It is so cute <3

The previous mist I've tried, they have quite of a strong smell and some even have medicinal smell which I really hate. Mist supposed to be calming and doesn't have strong smell and this one hit that. It has no fragrance but somehow it leaves a nice fragrant while spraying ( though it's gone after seconds )

On the box, they says that this mist is produced from 95.9% of early summer green tea extract(Camelia Sinesis Leaf Extract) which balances out skin's moisture level for a moist inside with a soft, powdery outside.

Honestly, it doesn't feel powdery at all. If it does, then I'm gonna hate it. Lucky that it wasn't..lol

The rest of percent are organic ingredients too so please check in the ingredients picture I captured above! 

The past month, I said that I don't really care much of my face and it actually turns very bad as I got pretty bad acne popping up 0.0 Just after my finals, I realized that it actually turns worser. I took a lot of time 'repairing' those problems on my skin last and this week and a part of the help came from this mist! I'm running out of my toner so I used this as a substitute. I'm glad that it actually helps! I got less break out and some of bigger pimples are even healed a bit. ( I don't use any acne medicine btw )

Other than that, I can see that slow down the produce of oil on my face. I can't say that it lessen my oil, it just I saw that the oil came out a bit later than the usual.

It has no colorant too as it is exactly like water, non-greasy, absorbs easily and makes my skin smoother after use :D

Overall, I really love this mist and wanted to try the Cleansing Water next!
*praying that there would be sales for that* lol

[REVIEW] HiShop May Surprise Box - Scent Affair Fragrant Body Wash

It's HiShop Surprise Box again!

This is for May Special Edition and it just arrived to me yesterday :D

But since no one actually heard the postman came to deliver this, I ask my dad to retrieve 

this parcel at the post office today :)

As usual, with the bright pink box as the trademark ( the size of the box are quite large I must say)

It was heavy when I hold this and wondering what's inside. The HiShop owner actually asked the ambassador to fill out the form to select our preference of the types of products that we wanted but I just saw it today OTL.. so yeah, this is basically a surprise for me since I don't know which brand they'll sent me. haha

I'm a 100% dettol body wash user and I don't change to any other body wash since I was thirteen. It's because my skin is really sensitive. There is once when my body wash is running out and I used my friend's body wash..then oh no..there are rashes appearing..:( So I never really changed body wash after that.

So I'm expecting a lot of this body wash..hehe..:D

 Tadaa, the products are two full sized Scent Affair Bdy Wash in Cucumber & Aloe Vera and Pomegranate :D

Plus, a twisted band in PINK! for my hair ..~yeay! :D

I'm going to review this right away because reviewing body wash doesn't need much time anyway..lol

The first one is the Scent Affair Fragrant Body Wash in Cucumber & Aloe Vera (275ml)

Say Yes To Soothing Skin

Refresh yourself with the cool fragrance of Cucumber infused with moisturizing Aloe Vera. A calming, hydrating bodywash that gently cleanses your skin, helping you to feel pampered and instantly relaxed.

Information

Soothing Aloe Vera and calming Cucumber gives you a natural cleansing and relaxing experience whilst improving skin moisture levels.
Features

• Anti-Bacterial
• Moisturising
• Hydrating
• Repairs dry skin

The right picture is when I rubbed the soap with water. It doesn't seems to bubble up and the small foam disappear quite fast too. I love the smell, it rather on the fresh side because of the cucumber I guess and the smell reminds me of a lotion. I'm not sure which one it is but it does smells like lotion. I think I can smell the cucumber but not sure about the aloe vera.

The soap itself is light green in color and it doesn't bubble up as I said above. 

I can feel my skin smoother but the soap seems to make my skin feels tight and dry :(

So I don't really agree to their claims which is hydrating and repairs dry skin.

Priced at RM7.80 for 275ml, you can get this body wash HERE

The second one is the Scent Affair Fragrant Body Wash in Pomegranate (275ml)

True to the flawless you

Antioxidant rich pomegranate extracts help to fight free radicals that causes skin damage, leaving your skin feeling irresistibly sexy and silky smooth.

Information

It helps to improve skin moisturisation levels and provides a warm feeling.

Features

• Anti-Bacterial
• Moisturising
• Antioxidant to help fight free radicals
• Skin feels renewed, soft and healthy

As you can see, the soap bubbles up a lot. I don't know what makes the difference between these two types but this really bubbles up a lot..maybe an extra Sodium Lauryl Sulphate?lol

Compared to cucumber & aloe vera, this body wash have a floral smell to it. Not sure what pomegranate smells like..or do they have smells anyway?

It smells really soft and clean and I love it! I can feel that my skin is smoother after using this but too bad, later than, it cause my skin dryness like the cucumber & aloe vera type :(

The soap is more to peach-colorless color but that doesn't make your body turn out to be that color..lol

A free twistband!If you do purchase in Hishop.my, they will give this for free!

At first I thought the fabric is like satin and it will easily slip off my hair if it is so but it doesn't! wow..

I guess I like this twistband better the body wash..lol

You can get them at Watsons?seriously, where?lol this twistband is too small to be noticed..

[REVIEW] Aritaum Wannabe Cushion Tint #Blondie & #April

Hello guys!

I finally got the chance to post this. On my previous haul post, I received tons of e-mail asking about the shops 0.0 . I'm okay for telling you but I will not be responsible for any future problems you encounter. That's why I want to keep it hidden.

Anyway, many of you also ask me to review this so here you go!

Note that there are a lot of unsexy lips down below. I warn you not to throw up..lol

Before heading to the review, let me introduced Aritaum to any of you who are not
really familiar with this brand. :D

Aritaum is a brand under Amore Pacific Company which also produced other brands like Etude House, Laneige, Innisfree, IOPE, Hera, Sulwhasoo and etc. Basically it is the largest Korean Cosmetics Company in South Korea :D  Some of Aritaum popular products are mono eyeshadows :D

Watch the ads + tutorial for this tint [FULLVIDEO HERE]

So now, onto the review :D

The color is so beautiful! :D

Fancy caps!

I swatched this on the glossy magazine paper :D

The swatches shows the true colors very well :)

Half side blended so you may actually can imagine how it looks like when I used the sponge to blend the color.

and dun dun dun..how it looks like on my lips!

To be honest, my camera doesn't really captured the true color of #April very well. It looks like it s more to cool tone in the picture above but it is actually not. It's wasn't really Nicki Minaj if you need reference.

It's more to mature pink which I think is wearable for everyday looks!

and for #Blondie, the capture the color well but it was a bit light than the real color. The color suppose to be more fuschia look without too bright. Among these two, I love #Blondie more because I love the color so much that it makes me looks younger..lol

I tried to do a gradient lips here..do it turns well?no? I guess I'm not good enough..haha XD

The reason why I choose both of these color to buy is because I wanna do the super popular gradients lips..

but I think it turns well than I expected..lol

Another lip gradient using Candy Doll #Apricot Beige and Aritaum Wannabe Cushion Tint #Blondie

(room lighting)

This tint have 10 lip colors and 1 lip concealer (#Claire). It range from nude pink, bright pink, red, orange and nude orange..and oh, there is peach too. The packaging is very fancy which attracted the most! Besides, I watched the tuto video by Aritaum and just amazed on how the tint works! 

For the texture, I think it is a bit drying for someone who had dry lips like me. I don't use lip balm before applying this but I use an eye cream instead. Lip balm can be too glossy while eye cream makes the fine lines lesser and it gives moisture to lips without being greasy. I don't recommend to use lip balm before applying this because the color won't stick onto the your lips better. You don't want to keep reapplying right?

The color is very pigmented as a single swatch can show up the color very well. But if you actually applied a lot, it's okay because the cushion is there to help blending the color and makes it looks feathery.

Lasting hour is good..not too great but good enough. The lip tints looks like a lipstick but after I dab the cushion on the color, it makes the color stayed on the lips very long like a tint without drinking. If I eat or drink, the color would disappear bit by bit and leaving a hint of the color when the tint is nearly gone.

Lipstick would be easily transfer onto the things like glasses when we drink but this tint is not. As I said, it functions more like a lip tint as it supposed to be :)

It is non-sticky, dries matte and feathery when I used the sponge(they said cushion) provided.

The smells is very good which is candy-like smell :D . I could lick it all along..lol

Other than that, the tint feels so light on my lips like I'm not wearing anything.I could say that it feels rather smooth on lips :)

If you want to know how the cushion actually works, they help soften the edges of the tints and makes it looks feathery. It means that the cushion will create a hue of soft color from the bright colored tint. 

So that's why this tint is perfect for gradient lips!

Overall, I love everything about this tint and aiming for #Janet , #Claire and #Adela next! :D

p/s : I'm wearing #Blondie :D

the zoom in version of this is the last lip picture :D

Thank you for reading!
