Review : Naturie Skin Conditioner

Konnichiwa my beautiful friends! I have here a good recommendation that's good for your skin. I just discovered this when I was in Japan. The mere reason why I bought this is because it has a label that says NUMBER 1 BEST SELLER. I mean who wouldn't be tempted to try and buy something like this, right? Let's go back to business and get to know more about this item.

What's it about?

** This Hatomugi Skin Conditioner comes in 500 ml and it's suitable to use both on our face and body regularly everyday. It contains natural plant extract hatomugi (coix seed) and it is easily absorbed by the skin. In addition, it has natural plant ingredients of Job's Tear extract that are good for moisturizing and brightening. It is popularly consumed as a tea for our health and skin. Above all, it normalizes the turn-over cycle of the skin cells and it can be used as an anti-aging product and a good remedy for wart and acne.

COLOR: It has this white-ish liquid in the bottle but looks transparent when applied on the skin.
SMELL: It doesn't have any at all.
TEXTURE: It feels like water in consistency actually. 

PROS

• It's very cheap and reasonable if you buy it in Japan.
• It has a cooling and tightening effect on the skin whenever I use it.
• It has a brightening effect.
• It's a good anti-aging product.
• It makes the skin look tight and firm.
• It's also good for hydration and locks in the moisture.
• It is also good for making the pores look smaller.
• It's perfect for all kinds of skin types.
• THE BEST PART is you can use this as a facial mist, toner, lotion and a moisturizer if you desire to.

CONS

• It isn't easily available in the Philippines unfortunately. But if they are, they are so expensive also.
• The bottle and packaging  doesn't look appealing. ( I don't mind  it at all. )
• That's it. :)

My Overall Thoughts

I am over the moon that I actually purchased this product even if I wasn't sure if it works well or not. Good thing for having a woman's instinct I suppose. Anyhow, I have no words to say but only good things about this skin conditioner. It's like you're buying one bottle that has several purposes. I use this on my body especially on those parts that I feel quite dry. I love love love using this on my face and neck because it really gives me good benefits. Even my husband uses this as a skin toner and his skin loves it as well. It's for everybody I guess. 

Thanks for dropping my blog. Hope you find it helpful guys. Take care and always choose happiness.

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.
