Product Empties #13

Thursday, April 9, 2020



Son & Park Beauty Water
I wanted to try this for the longest time because it was the hype.
It is a pretty good product but it did not blew me away.
It has a light refreshing scent and my skin did not reacted negatively to it.
It is definitely light on the skin. It is a very gentle way to cleanse and tone in the morning.
I finished using this but it is not a holy grail status for me.
Maybe I was expecting too much from this.
This is a good product but I think it is a little to expensive for what it does.
I don't see myself repurchasing this in the near future.



Pyungkang Yul Mist Toner

A brand that I wanted to love but sadly it did not work for my skin.
This is a decent product but I not repurchase this.
It has the typical herbal scent which does not bother me.
This mist did not do anything for my skin.
It did not hydrate my skin and feels like I was spraying water on my face.
At the very least, it did not break me out.



Pyungkang Yul Moisture Serum

I like the packaging for this serum.
It has the same herbal scent. My husband hates this.
It has a white watery gel consistency that is easy to spread.
It is sticky upon application but once it sinks in stickiness is minimal.
Despite the texture it does not feel heavy.
It provides decent hydration and did not irritate my skin.
I did not enjoy using this.



Kracie Hadabisei Intensive Wrinkle Care Eye Mask

I bought this a long time ago.
This is really affordable as there is 30 pairs of eye mask.
It is almost scentless and fits my eye area well.
It provides decent hydration but the effect is not very long.
The packaging makes it difficult to remove just one eye mask. 
I usually removed more than two so I had to use it on the smile lines or place it back into the packaging. It is troublesome.
This is worth a try but I personally will not repurchase this.



Kose Cosmeport Clear Turn Hyaluronic Acid Essence Mask

I bought this together with the eye mask.
This is affordable as well but I hate the scent.
It has a strong alcohol scent to it.
There is 30 pieces of mask in this.
I use this almost everyday.
It provides decent hydration and 5 minutes is all it takes.
Not a bad mask but I would love to try other sheet masks.


Nightingale Toning Peeling Pads Tea Tree (10 pads)
This is the first product I tried from this brand. I have never tried any toning/peeling pads before. I know a few brands came out with this idea such as Neogen, Cosrx and some other brands.
It has a typical tea tree scent (you can guess from the name) that is pretty strong.
I prefer for this to come in a tub instead of a zip lock pack.
I find the packaging inconvenient to use. The cotton pads are completely soaked.
I used this over a period of time and the cotton pads did not dried up.
It has an embossed side and a smooth side, one for exfoliating and one for toning.
I used this once or twice a day, toning and exfoliating every single time I use.
It did not irritate my skin which is great.
It makes my skin very smooth and my skin feels great.
It provides decent exfoliation and hydration which is pretty surprising to me.
It was a little pricey for me. I bought this for RM12.90 from Watsons which means each time I use this it cost me RM1.29
Overall, I think this product is amazing.
I will definitely repurchase if I can get this product in a tub.



Physiogel Daily Moisture Therapy
I used this on my face. It did not dry out my skin.
There is a light scent to it.
The texture is a like a gel but it feels oily.
I feel that I am washing my face with a gel coated with oil, if that makes sense.
My skin feels perfectly moisturized but somehow I cannot get used to the texture.
I might purchase the full size product to try.



CosRx Galactomyces 95 Whitening Power Essence
I managed to get at least 4 uses out of the sample.
It is pretty good. It has no scent to it which I like.
It sinks into my skin instantly and there is no tackiness.
It did not sting and I think my skin likes it.
I cannot see the results just with a few uses but I think I might purchase the full size product to try.




CosRx Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream
This cream has a light scent.
I was surprised that the cream is actually a light opaque gel.
It sinks into the skin instantly and leaves the skin feeling smooth and hydrated.
I think my skin enjoyed this cream.
When my skincare stash is low, I will definitely buy this!




Purito Snail Clearing BB Cream SPF38/PA+++ (#23 Natural Beige)
First of all, I love this brand.
I have tried a few products from this brand so far, and I loved most that I have tried.
This BB cream is easy to apply and makes my skin dewy. It matches my skin and coverage is good.
It does not feel dry and last a pretty long time.
I will purchase the full size product to try and maybe do a full review on it.

1. Ryo Scalp Deep Shampoo

I wanted to try this since a long time ago. I was drawn to the good reviews I saw on Hermo. I finally bought it while I was in Taiwan earlier this year. I love it! The scent was refreshing and my scalp was really clean. No more itchy scalp. It lathers up really well and cause no irritation to my scalp.



2. Liole Aroma Soft Peeling Gel

I love the scent. It is very light and sweet.
The sent reminds me of something but I just cannot describe it!
The product in the sample is too little for my whole face.
I only use it on my cheeks, nose and chin area.
It made my skin super soft and smooth.
Love it!



3. Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Eye Concentrate
I used to love this brand when I just started taking care of my skin (irregularly). That was when I was still in secondary school. Then I became lazy and did not really took care of my skin for years until I discovered K-beauty. Anyway, I received this from a giveaway. I was happy because I only had one eye cream backup. I tried this first. I like it. The scent is light and it has a gel texture, which is easy to spread. It did not cause irritation but I did not see much difference. This tube last me a very long time. I am not joking. I use it everyday without fail. I only squeeze a very small amount. I started using this in the beginning of this year. I go through eye cream so slowly.



4. Sothys Hydradvance Light Hydrating Cream
The cream milky white in color.
It spreads easily and sinks into the skin quickly.
It has a strong scent to it.
It leaves minimal stickiness.
This works amazingly during winter (my trip to Taiwan) so I love it.
I do find it to be a little rich in Malaysia's humid weather.
Overall, it was a good cream but it was too expensive.
(RM119 for 15ml)




5. Burberry Body Tender Shower Gel
This smells like heaven!
I loved the scent.
It was a decent shower gel, not too drying or hydrating.
Hubby loved how I smelled after shower.
lol
Love this but I will not repurchase it just for the scent.
I could just get the perfume.



6. Naturie Loofah Skin Conditioner
I had high expectation with this but...
Honestly I was so disappointed with it!
It smelled strongly of alcohol.
I hated the scent whenever I used it.
I would try my best to use as much of this just so that this will finish.
The effect of this toner is similar to my holy grail drugstore toner.
I do not recommend this to anyone.



7. Etude House Magic Any Cushion (Magic Pink)
I like this.
It makes my skin looks dewy and nice but the coverage was quite low.
It was not a bad product.
At least it did not make my dry skin patchy.
I think it was quite a decent product for my skin.
I  do recommend this.



8. Aiberia Samba Rose Crystal Moisturizer
I like how light this feels.
The scent is light and it sinks into the skin quickly.
It did not irritate my skin in any way.
Been using this for one month because I only use 3 drops for my whole face!




9. Sothys Vitality Cleansing Milk
This cleanser does not lather up at all.
It spreads easily and there is a mild citrus scent.
It is very gentle on the skin and does not make my skin feel tight at all.
This does not remove makeup that well, so make sure to remove your makeup beforehand.
It is expensive! RM99 for 40 ml

10. Sothys Vitality Lotion
This is a clear watery toner.
It has almost no scent to it.
When applied, it makes my skin feels refreshed.
No irritation.
It is expensive! RM 99 for 40 ml
I will not repurchase.


That is all for now. 
Thanks for reading :)

Mandom Barrier Repair Sheet Mask Motchiri
The sheet mask is quite thin and it tore when I was unfolding...
Scent is light and stickiness is minimal.
I do prefer to rinse after using sheet mask.
My face is so soft, smooth and hydrated.
Love the result but it tears too easily...



Puorella Aqua Soothing Mask Pack (Cat)
The sheet mask is so cute!
First time trying cute sheet masks.
I have a cat mask on!
The result is ok.
Nothing amazing, just cuteness overload. lol



Sexylook Intensive Hydrating Black Mask
I love black masks...
I love that it has gold flakes on the mask.
It has almost no scent at all.
I like it.
It fits my face pretty well except my chin area.
No allergic reaction at all.
My skin is super hydrated and bouncy after using it.
The best part is that it is not sticky at all.
Love it and I would definitely repurchase this!



Beauty Friends II Coenzyme Q10 Essence Mask Sheet Pack
I hate the scent of this!
A mix of alcohol and perfume?
It is quite disturbing to me...
The sheet mask was big...
Minimal stickiness
Skin feels quite good after using it.
Surprised >,<


Collagen by Watson's hydrating & refining facial essence
(I thought I had a picture of the product but too bad, it's gone!)

I think this is OK. Will not repurchase because I did not notice any difference in my skin. The good thing is it did not break me out. It is not sticky and easy to spend. It sinks into my skin pretty quickly and I like that the scent is really light.

Easy to apply and spread
Feels sticky and oily upon application
Took forever to sink in... not sure if I applied too much...
My skin feels pretty good with this but it is sticky!



Mamonde Age Control Camellia Oil
This is very oily and it took extra long to sink in
Like that it is easy to spread
Supple and more elastic skin after using
Amazing result!



SNP Bird's Nest Aqua Ampoule Mask
Strong scent that reminds me of cheap shampoo. lol

It has a light honey taste.
I like it.
It's sweet.
Hubby love this as well.
He said it helped his sensitive teeth really well.
Now he can eat ice cream without the fear of being attacked by it.
If you know what I mean. lol

Good stuff but it is quite pricey.
This is also a very small tube, 50 gram only.

Byeeee ~~~

Product Empties #9

Sunday, May 28, 2017

Who is ready for another empties post?
Well, ready or not here it goes... lol
What is the point in asking anyway...




Well, there is a mix of everything, well, almost!
Mostly skincare products...

Let's take a close look at the items!



Watsons Rose Scented Shower Gel

I like the smell and that is it~~~
I like it to be honest but when I looked at the ingredients... SLS and fragrance is there!
Well, most shower gels and shampoos have those so what's the big deal?
I used to think like that but when I started to read more on the ingredients, I changed my mind.

Repurchase: Not going to happen
Recommendation: For those with a tight budget



La Biostetique Shampooing Lipokerine B

This has a nice scent that is not too strong. It is easy to dispense and lather which I like. I like this but it does not prevent dandruff or itchiness. The price is a little steep for me.

Repurchase: No
Recommendation: For those without dandruff problems



Missha Perfect Eyebrow Styler

I like this. One of my first eyebrow pencil. The price is affordable. I did not finished using it. It fell out and I lost it. I cannot really remember how it happened but it is gone! This can be refilled but no thank you. I like you but I think I will try some other ones. Maybe one day I will come back to you. lol

Repurchase: Maybe
Recommendation: For anyone



Ludeya Pro Ex Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Serum

This is sticky upon application. Once absorbed, stickiness is minimal. It has a light scent. My skin loves this more than I had expected. I did not use any other serum when I started using this. I did see improvements in my skin. Love this!

Repurchase: Yes
Recommendation: For those with dry to extremely dry skin


Indeed Laboratories Vitamin C Cream

I wanted to love this so badly but it is not for me! I noticed that it stings my skin on several occasions. It did irritate my skin and broke me out so I knew this is not for me. I love the powdery finish this gives and how soft and smooth my skin feels. I saw great reviews on this and had high hopes for this. Maybe this will work for you.

Repurchase: No
Recommendation: Worth a try but I do not recommend this to those with sensitive skin


Sothys Instant Radiance Ampoule

I received this as part of a facial packaged I bought. It is RM 49 which is super expensive for me! Did not like the packaging. Scent is pretty strong, and it reminds me of those typical shampoos or shower gels. It is extremely watery. Sticky upon application but minimal stickiness once absorbed. My skin looks pretty good after using this. More radiant than it had been in a while. Brighter, softer and smoother skin

Repurchase: Not likely as it is expensive
Recommendation: Worth a try if you are not on a tight budget




It's Skin Power 10 VC Effector

The texture was surprisingly watery. It has a strong alcohol scent. It feels like water but it is actually oily after application. It took a while to be absorbed into the skin. My skin did feel a little itchy but there was no redness or bumps. I think this is not suitable for me.

Repurchase: No way
Recommendation: Avoid this



Sulwhasoo Snowise Ex Whitening Serum

My second sample. It has a slight herbal scent. It is a clear watery gel essence. It is easy to spread. It sinks into the skin pretty fast but it did left a sticky feel. I like it. I manage to use it twice only. I think my skin likes this.

Repurchase: I might purchase the full size if I have the extra money
Recommendation: I do not recommend this to those with oily skin as I find it a little heavy




Duplair W Ceramide Lotion

This toner provides decent hydration and has a light scent. It is sticky. Quite similar to the other Japanese Lotions I had tried.

Repurchase: No, this is more expensive than my Naturie Hatomugi Skin Conditioner
Recommendation: Worth a try but not my favorite



Combos Skin Collagen Anti-Aging Eye Mask

This is affordable and provides decent hydration. 
It is sticky after application. The scent is so strong! 

Repurchase: No, not my cup of tea
Recommendation: Worth a try for those with a tight budget



Etude House Vanilla Moist Eye's Cream

I like the packaging because you can apply the eye cream directly without using fingers. 
It did not help in any way! It actually did more harm than good... 

Repurchase: No way
Recommendation: I do not recommend this


That's all for now.
Thanks for reading, as always!

My Beauty Diary Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Mask

The sheet mask is pretty thin. It fits my face pretty well. It has a fairly light typical sheet mask scent. I find that the essence takes a longer time to sink into the skin so I washed it off.

Repurchase: Yes
Recommendation: I do recommend this to those with dry skin



***




My Beauty Diary Vanilla Moisturizing Aroma Mask



The sheet mask is pretty thin. It fits my face pretty well. It has a light sweet vanilla scent. It has become a habit to wash off any excess essence of my face. My skin feels extremely hydrated and feels super soft and smooth. This is better than the one above.

Combos Skin Moisturizing Dual Booster Mask

Step 1: The essence was sticky. It has a watery gel consistency and a light floral scent. It took a long time to sink in. I guess there is a little too much essence. 
Step 2: The sheet mask is thicker than the sheet masks above and it has a cloth kind of texture that is not easy to tear. It has a stronger floral scent that is very familiar. I think this is a typical sheet mask kind of scent. lol. It was sticky so I rinsed it off with water. It made my face super soft, smooth, plump and hydrated. Double like this!

I hate the scent. It ia not sticky but I rinsed it off anyway. My skin felt . My skin feels so soft, smooth and clean after using this. Hydration is decent but not enough for my dry skin especially forehead. It did not irritate my skin. Pretty good but the scent!


Repurchase: Not likely

Recommendation: I do not really recommend this but is worth a try



***



Combos Skin Brightening Dual Booster Mask

Step 1: The essence was sticky. It has a watery gel consistency. It almost has no scent. It took a while to sink in. The stickiness remained quite strong.
