KLAIRS Gentle Black Deep Cleansing Oil

The Klairs Gentle Black Deep Cleansing Oil is composed of various vegetable oils helpful for skin care. It’s easily washable texture allows mild yet effective cleansing of dirt and makeup without causing irritation and is the best cleanser to maintain the skin’s moisture even after cleansing. The Gentle Black Deep Cleansing Oil is formulated with natural oils extracted from black bean to control sebum production and soothe skin. Black sesame oil provides antioxidants and black currant seed oil provides minerals and vitamins. It’s the best hypo-allergenic formula for sensitive skin.

My comments: This oil is amazing! I was impatiently waiting for it! The brand “Dear, Klairs” adresses people with sensitive skin and people who want to moisturize their skin. The motto of the brand is “Simple but enough”. The brand uses as little ingredients as possible and produces products which are animal-testing-free, vegan (with exception of honey), alcohol-free, paraben-free, and artificial-color-free. The oil has a nice herbal scent but not as strong as Sulwhasoo cosmetics. This cleansing oil is just perfect for massage purposes and it is super effective in removing makeup. I highly recommend it!

Sulwhasoo everefine lifting ampoule serum

Nutrient-rich lifting line for women in their 50s and 60s. Nutrient-rich lifting serum resists signs of aging, including loss of elasticity and undernourished appearance by absorbing into even the skin and delivering an immaculate finish. Ancient herbal medicine mixed with Maeseondan™ and Shiitake extracts enhances skin lifting.

Sulwhasoo’s Maeseondan™ is made with Licorice, Ginkgo leaves and elasticity-enhancing coumestrol, which is found in Bean Leaves extract and amplified tenfold. With the Shiitake extract that intensively nourishes the skin, Maeseondan™ improves elasticity for supple skin.

My comments: The first thing I though about when I saw this serum is a moonstone. The play of colors and shades of the serum are exactly the same as of the moonstone. I was astonished by this beauty. While applying I had also unusual feelings. The texture is thick but very spreadable. The skin appears instantly deep nourished, becomes smooth and well-groomed if you wish. I think this serum is not a match for people with oily or combination skin. But for people with signs of aging, including loss of elasticity, this serum is a wonder. I recommend it to the ladies in their chic years.

The history of whoo Gongjinhyang Qi & Jin Eye Cream

Qi & Jin Eye Cream is a cream firm the skin around eyes that has thin layers of skin with more tendency to wrinkle. This solves the problem of wrinkles around eyes with excellent wrinkle free ingredients.

This energizing eye cream delivers firming benefits to sagging and thin fragile skin. The anti-aging formula helps restore elasticity as it minimizes the appearance of dark circles, puffiness, wrinkles, and fine lines.

* Entry level luxury anti-aging skincare

* Lifting

* Promotes elasticity

My recommendations: Apply the eye cream using your ring finger. Dot the eye cream around your eye. Gently tap in the cream to stimulate circulation moving from the center to outer cornet above the eye and form the outer corner to the center under the eye. Try not to pull or stretch the delicate skin around the eye.

My comments: Pros: This cream decreases rapidly the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, lifts and tightens up the area above the eye (please do not expect effect like after plastic surgery), firms the skin under the eyes. The texture is creamy but still airy and not too heavy at all. It kind of melts when you spread it over your skin. Cons: It has an “old-fashioned” soapy smell with a gentle scent of woody ginseng. It feels like a hug from grandma. The ingredients are not completely biological but it really works wonders.

Lioele Dollish Cera-V CC Cream SPF34 PA++

This CC cream has a nice creamy texture and offers a great coverage. It matches the skin tone perfectly. Cera-V CC cream moisturizes and nourishes the skin, preventing premature aging. It protects the skin with rather high SPF 34/PA++. It contains rich minerals, seaweed, vitamin E, ceramide 3, jojoba and macadamia seed oil, elderberry extract, and aloe vera. The complete list of ingredients you can find here. After applying you will immediately notice how amazingly this cream evens out the skin tone, makes the skin look natural and fresh.

My comments: Most probably I am the only person on the planet Earth who accidentally applied CC cream :). I cut the sachet while opening the parcel and my hands were covered with something white and beige (looked like cookies and cream ice-cream). But after spreading I saw a very pretty glowing effect on the skin of my hand. I learned by that time from multiple reviews that cc creams are not suited for darker skin tones, they make you look like you’re wearing a mask. But what I also learned that day is that you’ll never know for sure unless you try it. Particularly this cc cream made my face pale and it was pretty obvious that I had a layer of product all over my face. But after 5 min it faded into my natural skin tone. It spreads evenly with a matte touch but dewy porcelain look and feels very light. It adds radiance to my skin and really covers blemishes or acne scars. One sample was enough for 5!!! applications. Therefore I can say with the confidence that it does not clog the pores and does not lead to more acne.

P.S. And one more thing. I want to remind you that you should order first samples of bb or cc creams or exchange it with friends. Just to avoid situations where you write me something like: ”Oh, it is too pink for me ” or “It makes me too pale”. In this case you can avoid disappointing experience (and let’s thank manufacturers for the samples).

Goodal Green Tangerine Moist Cream

Green Tangerine Moist Cream – is a very refreshing, intense moisturizing lightweight gel-cream with tons of vitamins! The cream provides enormous hydration thanks to green tangerine extract from Jeju Island and green vitamin complex. Mineral-rich Jeju seawater provides deep nutrition to and delivers hydration deep into the skin and prevents moisture loss. The cream is rich with vitamins C and P which are known for boosting collagen production and can help reduce the appearance of spider veins. This cream will keep your skin fresh and healthy with radiant vitality.

My comments: This product can be considered as a hot topic as it is amazing! The lightweight gel-cream is ideal for combination oily or oily skin not because it dries your skin out but because it prevents new sebum formation. It has a light fruity citrus fragrance. The cream comes with a spatula that is individually packed. It’s very rich and you don’t need a big amount to get your skin hydrated. The cream absorbs quite quickly, and leaves no oily traces. This lightest moisturizer provides excellent hydration and this is precisely what the manufacturer claimed. I will keep it for warmer months as now my skin demands more dense and nourishing texture of the cream rather than gel-like (winter and heating are doing their nasty job).

My comments: I am in love with this BB cream. As for now, it’s my favorite one. I want to begin with cons: for my darker skin tone, the color of the cream is a bit light, but I use a powder on top of it, so it’s working for me. The coverage ability can be described as medium. The texture is almost watery. It blends really nicely and does not look oily or shiny. The finish is kind of satin. It makes the skin look very healthy and glowing. The oil control is very nice too. Pros: It applies very easily; no effort is needed. Snail mucin helps with the process without any doubt. It blends nicely, with a good finish, without emphasizing any flaws. In addition, it gives you a natural looking skin. One tester is enough for 3 uses. The nicest thing is that your face doesn’t look oily or shiny, even at the end of the day. The cream doesn’t clog the pores and leaves you with a good finish. I recommend.

Too cool for school After School BB Foundation Lunch Box SPF37 PA++

BB Foundation lunch box is composed of BB Cream, Concealer, and Highlighter. The brand positions itself as a brand for young folks. But we are still young, aren’t we? And we are not giving in! BB Foundation fixes skin tone very well and performs outstandingly with natural glow and livelihood to the skin. It has a pleasant scent, covers skin flaws perfectly and minimizes appearance of the pores. BB Foundation does not settle into fine lines and does not disappear after a couple of hours or break down. Here is some information I found on internet: “The cream contains moisture-packed Polymer, preventing dehydration and is imbued with diamond, pearl, ruby and corral powder to enhance blood-flow in the skin and therefore to increase its oxygenation.” I should say, though I have a normal skin type (combo during summer time) I did not notice any moisturizing effect. Therefore you can easily put this bb cream on top of your moisturizer and sunscreen. In my opinion the people with dry skin should avoid using this cream. The concealer is a light peachy beige color. It felt thick and creamy and provided semi-opaque coverage. I would not recommend to use it under your eyes as it accentuates all the fine lines and dries out tender skin under the eyes. But this concealer is not useless! It covers perfectly blemishes and pigmentation. You should just gently press concealer on desired areas for perfect coverage, don’t rub it into skin. Highlighter is very spreadable and its pearl is not excessive. It gives your contours a deem shimmering. Continue reading Too cool for school After School BB Foundation Lunch Box SPF37 PA++
