Product Empties # 25 : My Lucky Seven

Welcome back to my blog friends. Let's start the month right by enumerating my product empties. It's the 25th one this time. Let's get this started. 

My Product Empties #25 : My Lucky Seven Products
1.Etude House Easy Brow Pencil

I forgot what this one is already but this one is in black. This eyebrow is very affordable. I love how creamy it applies on and also it is quite long lasting. For any makeup newbie, this eyebrow pencil will be your new bestfriend. I kid you not.

VERDICT: No doubt! It's always a winner and I won't be tired to repurchase this soon.

2. Winage Moisture Set 

This is an amazing gift set that contains the moisture toner and moisture emulsion. Both have caviar and truffle as their active main ingredients. What I love most about these two combination is they're lightweight, layer well under makeup / foundation and make the skin texture look plump, soft and nourished. I've written a short a blog about this HERE

VERDICT: A big winner in this list of empties. I'm just sad I can't easily repurchase this in the Philippines. Well, if you're looking for a good toner and emulsion, I highly recommend you these two. You'll thank me  later. :)



3. Celeteque Facial Wash with NMF ( Natural Moisturizing Factor)

It  has  mild  cleansing  agents  and  a  special  combination  of moisturizers that gently yet effectively clean without drying your skin.

VERDICT: I love this cleanser. It does the job and makes the skin moisturized after washing. I will totally repurchase this.

4. Human Nature Natural Conditioner in Cool Peppermint

This is a well loved product here. It is basically claims to strengthen the hair avoiding brittle and falling hair.  One ingredient in it is the Hydrolyzed wheat protein that helps fortify hair to dramatically reduce both breakage and hair loss.

VERDICT : Of course, I'll definitely repurchase this again. Love the cooling sensation it does to my hair. Plus, it feels good to support locally produced products.

5. Simple Micellar Cleansing Wipes

They are specially made with Micellar Water for a thorough yet gentle cleanse. It's very easy to use especially at night when you just want to remove your makeup very quickly. Why I love this? It does make my skin feeling fresh, clean and somewhat hydrated. I've created a short review about this product HERE 

VERDICT : Another product to repurchase soon. That simply means again that I completely recommend this to anyone looking for a good cleansing wipes.

6. Nyx Natural Eyeshadow Palette

This   has  7  different  colors  to  choose  from.   You can use them naturally or  go dramatic if  you  want to. These  colors  claim  to enhance your eyes instantly. You can wear them as they are and you can also use them as a neutral base for any colorful shadows.

VERDICT: I died when I had this. It's like a hit or miss with the colors. I only like the darker shades. Next, they feel very chalky. Lastly, they're not long lasting to use. Sorry but I totally disappointed having this in my stash. 

7. Skinfood Choco Eyebrow Powder Cake

This eyebrow powder claims to create beautiful and natural looking brows. Its main ingredient is cacao so it smells good and safe to use especially in the eye area. I've also reviewed this product HERE 

VERDICT: If you have light eyebrows then you'll like this. Unlike me, I have thick and black eyebrow hair, so this product doesn't work easily. I combine this powder cake and eyebrow pencil to define my brows nicely. :) 

There you have it guys. I've done mentioning them here. How about you? Do we have similar products? Let me know and let's exchange ideas. Take care and see you next time in my next blog entry.

REVIEW : Winage Moisture Set by Coreana Cosmetics

Hi friends. Let me introduce a special anti-aging skin care set that promotes elastic skin with caviar and truffle winage complex. This is by a Korean brand named Coreana. Let's continue some more.

What's it about?
The set comes in this light orange box. It has 3 products inside. First product is a Moisture Toner. The size is 150 ml. The second product is a Moisture Emulsion. The size is also 150 ml. The third product is Moisture cream with Caviar and Truffle and comes in 30 ml size.

Everything that is written on the box itself and the bottles is all written in Korean. Well, I'll just make use of these 2 main ingredients here that are caviar and truffle.

This is how the toner looks like on the skin. It's almost like a water-like consistency.

This is the emulsion. A kind of thick and concentrated white liquid but it's easily absorbed on the skin once patted.

* Here's the link of the cream. I did review this before already.

What   Caviar  does to our Skin?

Caviar has Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. These 2 nutrients promote luminous and healthy skin. In addition, it is proven to heal and prevent cellular inflammation and work alongside with our skin's natural processes, stimulate collagen production and minimize the the appearance of wrinkles.

What Truffle  does to our Skin?

Truffles are known for their musky and sensuous scent and are considered rare and luxurious ingredients. They are also great for our skin too. It's because they contain fatty acids and when they're incorporated in beauty products, they help to diminish the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Also, they provide a rich hydration to the skin and hair as well.

My Final Thoughts

Guys, you definitely have to try this set out as soon as possible. I am super blown away by this powerful duo right here. ^ ^ They really do make a big difference on my skin especially about texture and hydration.

I'll elaborate the ways why I super like this skincare set.

• It's very lightweight.
• It does the job effectively.
• It has anti-aging benefits.  Just the combination of caviar and truffle already is a big winner for me.
• It's perfect to layer under our makeup / foundation. It doesn't look heavy or something.

Shoutout to my Korean friend for gifting this set. Gamsahamnida Chinggu. Anyhow, hope you find this helpful. Let's continue to search the beauty of skincare together and be the best that we can be.

Product Empties # 16 My Lucky Seven + 3 More Items

It's the time of the month again that I get to share my product empties. This time, I don't only have seven products but I also have 3 additional items this time. That's basically a total of 10 products all in all. Let's keep this going then.

My Product Empties # 16 
1. Skin & Lab Dr. Bio Infusion Bio Activating Essence

I use this regularly as my essence to provide moisture and hydration to my skin. I like how lightweight it is so I apply this about 5- 7 times per use following the Korean skincare routine of 7 skin method.

You can check the link also if you want to more about this product.

http://luzbelleathome.blogspot.com/2017/01/skin-lab-drbio-infusion-bio-activating.html

VERDICT: It's a buy for me especially if it goes on sale.  A good essence to try actually.

2. Swanicoco Fermentation Snail Care Toner 

3. Swanicoco Fermentation Snail Care  Emulsion

I like using them both as part of my skin care routine. I like how rich and luxurious they feel on my skin. Also, I've noticed my skin becoming firmer, a bit whiter and definitely more plump. 

If you want to get more details about these combination, click the link.

http://luzbelleathome.blogspot.com/2017/02/swanicoco-fermentation-snail-care-toner.html

VERDICT: A winner for me. I highly recommend this.

4. Pond's Age Miracle Dual Eye Cream

Basically, I've loved this eye cream for over a year now. It does what is expected of it to do. It somehow helps with the lines and wrinkles around my eyes but not that completely though. More information can be found on the link provided here. I've reviewed this before.

http://luzbelleathome.blogspot.com/2016/03/review-ponds-age-miracle-dual-eye-cream.html

VERDICT: It's a buy for anyone who's on the look out for a good eye cream since it's gentle to use and quite affordable. 


5. Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Powder

This product is another winner for me. I guess this has to be my second or third repurchase already. It just does the job of making my face less oily, setting my make up too and also even men can use it around their T-zone to avoid that shine on the face. In addition, it's a staple in my hand bag and easy to use for touch-ups if I feel oily or something.

More details can viewed here in this link. I did a short review about how good this product right here is.

http://luzbelleathome.blogspot.com/2016/12/innisfree-no-sebum-mineral-powder.html

VERDICT: A must buy. It is pretty straightforward and small enough to carry everywhere I go.


6. L.A. Girl  Pro Conceal HD Concealer in Pure Beige

This concealer has been my go to for a year or so already. I like how creamy and easy it is to use. Though it isn't very high coverage, I'm pretty satisfied how natural it looks on the skin. Click this link for an in-depth review about this product.

http://luzbelleathome.blogspot.com/2016/02/review-la-girl-pro-conceal-hd-concealer.html

VERDICT: I highly recommend this if you are looking for a good concealer that isn't very expensive. :)

7. Rire Luxe Gel Eyeliner in No.2 Dark Brown

Sadly, I couldn't understand why this product is quite difficult to apply on the eyelids. The texture isn't smooth and it isn't creamy at all. Then I figured I won't use it as an eyeliner but on my eyebrows instead and it worked surprisingly. I just use this to line my brows and fill in some sparse parts for that fast application. Gladly, it's long lasting and doesn't easily smudge.

VERDICT: It's a fail as an eyeliner. :( Also, the product has a tiny product inside so it runs out pretty quickly. Sad.

8. Cell Fusion C Laser Sunscreen 100 SPF 50 PA+++

I like how light and effective this one is. It also goes well under my favorite BB cream and foundation. It is easily absorbed by the skin and it actually feels nothing. That lightweight. You can check this link for more photos and review of this good product.

http://luzbelleathome.blogspot.com/2017/03/cell-fusion-c-laser-sunscreen-100-spf_16.html

VERDICT: If it's available here in the local market, then I'll definitely repurchase this. :)

9. Pond's Perfect Care Facial Wash

This facial wash is pretty simple. It cleans my face gently and it also produces this rich lather which I like. It has vita-cleansers  and pro-moisturizers that are equally good for our skin.

VERDICT: Yes, I'll buy this one. It's cheap and a must have.

10.  Purederm Spot Reducer Gel Patches

These patches are specially formulated hydrogel treatment for reducing the appearance of pimples on your face without irritation. They have special skin ingredients that soothe the skin throughout the night. The box contains 30 patches.

VERDICT: It's a good pimple patch to use but the stickiness isn't enough as it easily slips and slides off on the skin. I won't repurchase this anymore.

There you  have it. So many empties I've accumulated . Hope you find this helpful. Let me know your empties too and share ideas with me. I'd be glad to know that as well. Till next time beautiful people. Thanks for reading this entry. Take care.

Swanicoco Fermentation Snail Care Toner and Emulsion

Hello friends! Today I am doing to talk about my recent favorite skincare combo that really does makes wonder on the skin. I just accidentally discovered this while browsing the famous Althea website. Plus, the name suggests fermentation and snail care so I jumped the buy button and then everything was history. :)  

Let's proceed and talk about these two now.

What's is about?
These photos I got from Althea website.

PACKAGING
The 2 products come in a bottle. Good thing is the bottle has a stopper that you can put every after use to avoid accidents. 

TEXTURE 
They have a silky and light texture that are easily absorbed by the skin.

INGREDIENTS

HOW TO USE

PROS

• Both of them really provide hydration.
• They are easily absorbed by the skin.
• They don't feel heavy nor sticky whatsoever.

My Personal Thoughts

Once again, a good discovery and inclusion to my Korean skincare routine. They do the job as expected. Plus, I like it that they give me this healthy and glowing look after. For now, I've been using this for about 1 month or so. So far, I am liking what I see.

That's it for now. Hope you find it helpful.

Again, let's continue discovering good skincare products that don't break the bank. Looking good always is synonymous to building our confidence to do our best everyday.
