Product Empties # 26 My Lucky Seven

It's another round of product empties for me. It's the series where I showcase the products I've used up and all that jazz. I'll collected them for quite some time now. Let's do the counting in 3, 2 and 1.

Product Empties # 26 : My Lucky Seven Products



1.) A Bonne  Milk Power Lightening Lotion with Collagen

This is a concentrated milk lotion that protects your skin from the UV rays and gives it a healthy glow. It's light, non-greasy and easily absorbed by the skin. This has yogurt and milk protein that double the effectiveness in giving you a younger look with  bright, soft and smooth skin. It also has collagen that improves skin's firmness, reduces wrinkles and enhances skin elasticity.


VERDICT: I like this lotion a lot. One because it's cheap and makes my skin soft. Two, it lasts a long time actually. When it comes to lightening, it  does the job gradually. I'll repurchase this soon.



2.) 24 Hours Urban Escape Toner by Jill2

This toner has Jill's advanced formula to protect our skin from all various kinds of pollutants that damage the skin especially the face. It's a lightweight toner that's easily absorbed by the skin. Perfect for doing the 7-skin step method.


VERDICT: Yes, it does the job very well. Makes the skin refreshed and awakened. It also gives this healthy glow. A winner absolutely.


3.) Piolang CP-1 Raspberry Treatment Vinegar

This is a hair and scalp treatment. It claims to get rid of flaky scalp and it also makes the hair shiny and healthy. It's very safe to use since this contains good nutrients. It also has this fruity raspberry scent to it. I've reviewed this before and click HERE to read more.


VERDICT: I used to like a lot before but not anymore.  Well, it does makes the hair smooth and shiny but the smell of this somehow lingers. As for the scalp area, it didn't do much and the effect is somehow temporary. I just used this up and that's about it.



4.) Whitening Milky Soft Cream by Onsaemeein

This is a soft cream that functions like a base for your makeup. It claims to give this instant whitening effect. It is designed for people who want to have an instant smooth and lighter skin complexion instantly. Well, I did review this one before and check it out HERE.

VERDICT: At first, I didn't like it because this cream is on the heavy side. Then I realized it can be a good primer during the day and night cream to boost whitening. Gladly it works.

TIP: Just start small since it takes time to be absorbed by the skin. A pea size amount will do and add more if desired. That way, you won't have any difficulty spreading it out evenly.



5.) Aloe Vera Soothing Gel by Nature Republic

Again, I've expressed my love this product. I like that it calms and moisturizes the skin leaving the skin cool and fresh. It has multiple uses and check this HERE to know more about this product.

VERDICT: Of course, I already have a back up of this. That's how much I love it. Well, there are many similar products to this but I still go back to this one. It's that good.



6.) Double Lasting Foundation by Etude House

This foundation by the name itself is meant to last long. :) Applying a thin layer of this claims to provide a perfect cover somehow making it look naturally flawless. For an in-depth review of this foundation, check HERE to read more.

VERDICT: I super like this product. One is because it lasts all day long. Two, it minimizes the shine on my face especially on the T-zone. Since it's that good, I just need a little bit of touch-ups throughout the day. I'm eyeing to have another backup of this one soon.



7.) Winage Moisture Eye Cream with Caviar and Truffle

This is a very light eye cream that feels very moisturizing and rich on the skin. It's gentle and gives this boost of hydration around the eye area. Since this has caviar and truffle, it has this good skincare vitamins that are essential for skin repair and anti-aging.


VERDICT: If this easily available in the market, then I'll highly repurchase this asap. It's pretty straightforward and does the job well. 




That's a wrap. Those were my empties recently. How about yours? Let's share our product empties and I might learn a handful of good information from you guys. Till next time. Take care.

Etude House Double Lasting Foundation in Sand

Hello guys! I have here another new discovery about a good foundation. It's been raved online and I happened to see this on Althea website on a make up bundle. Boom. You can guess what happened next, right? Anyhow, let's continue this then.


What is it about?
It's foundation that is long lasting. It also provides perfect cover and applying a thin layer of this provides flawless and clear skin.

Spreading the foundation

After blending it, my skin feels softer and brighter.

It gives this healthy glow on the skin.

How the product looks on me. ( Excuse my selfie)

I love this foundation.

SHADE: It is sand that is similar to # 22 to # 23 that creates a natural skin with a neutral base.

PACKAGING: It has this frosted glass bottle. It also comes with a lid and pump where the product comes out.

TEXTURE: It feels very light and smooth on the skin. After a few seconds, it just melts and sinks into the skin and doesn't cake or anything.

COVERAGE: It is pretty much medium to high coverage. Since, it is light enough, you can build it up if you desire to. After leaving this on the skin, it only begins to shine after about 4 hours or so. Setting this with a powder does help a lot.


PROS
  • It lasts really well on the skin.
  • It's medium to high coverage.
  • It's very easy to apply.
  • It makes the skin naturally flawless and smooth.
  • It does quite help with the oil control and shine on the face.

CONS
  • I have no complaints about it actually.

My Final Thoughts
Once again, I am head over heels in love with this foundation right here. It's because it really lasts all day long even if it's super hot and humid outside. A little bit of touch ups on the T-zone and that's basically it. Now I completely understand the hype about this foundation. 

Anyhow, hope you find it helpful. What's your favorite foundation? Let me know and let's exchange ideas friends. Till next time and always be happy.

Celebrating Althea's 2nd Birthday and My Haul

Hello guys. I am back here to showcase my haul from Althea Korea. It's not really much compared to the other ones I've done before. I just wanted to spend my points and bought the items that really were on sale and captured my attention as well. Let's dig in.


The Althea Birthday Box ^ ^


A Teapot Party with my very own Althea goodies







Why it's the best time of the year to shop?
- Sale is everywhere. I kid you not.
-Birthday giveaway everyday
-Contests and promos
-All sorts of exciting things


Here's my Althea Haul
1. Nella Multi Toning Essence Honey1 Snail



It's a toner + lotion + essence all in one product. It claims to deeply nourish the skin because it has honey, royal jelly and propolis. It's also responsible for restoring skin's elasticity and brightening the skin.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
It really improves my skin texture making it smoother and softer. Plus, it saves my money and time since it's a 3-in-1 product already.

2. Missha Under Eye Brightener - GIVEAWAY, Got this as a FREEBIE



It's a watery liquid concealer that covers blemishes and dark circles. I've reviewed this before and kindly click on the link more details about this product.

3. Etude House Double Lasting Foundation in Sand



It's a long lasting foundation that provides a perfect coverage. It feels very light and smooth on the skin when used.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
I really love this foundation. It covers skin blemishes pretty decently. It also makes my skin less oily throughout the day and most especially it gives that natural flawless look.


4. It's Skin Waterfull Highlighter Polish in 02



It has a natural shine effect that gives a natural glowing skin. Its formula that is a liquid consitency like that of a nail polish provides a radiant and dewy complexion. 

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
It's easy to use and blend on the skin. That silky and dewy finish it gives the skin is very flattering. But it isn't long lasting especially on hot and humid days.



5. Secret Key Miracle Fit Essence Concealer


It's a concealer with a creamy texture. It claims to cover skin imperfections with just one touch. It also easy to layer for that high coverage effect but still gives a natural finish.
( I didn't open this product yet since I have the Missha one. No first impressions for this one guys. Sorry. Opps.)

That's it for me today. I'd like to grab this chance to thank Althea for always giving us amazing and genuine products all the time. Thank you for my points also. Happy 2nd Birthday once again and more years to come. As always, let's all stay beautiful inside and out.
