Hanyul,

Review : Korea Herbal Serum- Hanyul Optimizing Serum + Sulwhasoo Capsulized Ginseng Fortifying serum

5:35:00 PM Unknown 3 Comments

Hello , today i want to review two products that contains oriental medicine/herbal in their SERUM .

I not sure whats the different between Korean and Chinese oriental medicine , but for me i personally enjoy to drink those herbal soup .


We eat/drink herbal anytime , not only when we get sick 
有病治病，无病防身
 sick ? cure your illness
no sick ? strength your body

Although oriental medicine takes sometime to see result , but you will notice huge difference ( in overall ) after a period ,continuous and patient needed .



So back to the products :
 
Left : Hanyul Optmizing serum 20 ml
Right : Sulwhasoo capsulized ginseng fortifying serum ( mouthful name ) 5ml
*These are sample size .


So,proceed from hanyul optimizing serum first

*This is regular size 60 ml


 I got myself  three bottle trial size , each 20 ml .
Plastic bottle with pump , come with box . I finish up two bottle , so will open the last one very soon .

 Ingredients list and instruction to use .


Contains 83% of oriental medicine concentrate and keeps skin balance and recovers skin's  healthy status.
Effective ingredient extracted from brown pine tree leaves strengthens the skin's original functions and vitalizes skin.
New optimized ingredients help absorption of the oriental functional ingredients, and maximize the anti-aging effect.

Hanyul optimizing serum use right after cleansing (yes, before lotion) Same concept with sulwhasoo first care serum .
It hydrate and helps absorption for the products uses afterward .

-Sweet herbal scent , not overly bitter
-light liquid-gel consistency .runny texture .Absorb in second .
-Feel fresh ,hydrate and comfortable to apply
-contains alcohol
-It helps absorption for others products .
-Great for people who feel dry right after cleansing . This immediately restore hydration at first step.

Conclusion : 
My skin feel soft and fresh after apply . But not obvious result after it added to my routine .
It did helps the follow up products absorb faster .

Rank :70%.
Will not repurchase but will finish the stock i have now .



Second:

Sulwhasoo capsulized ginseng fortifying serum

*This is how it look like in actual size . Good glassy ,classy bottle with kill me expensive price .

I got myself 6 mini trial size . Each 5 ml . So total 30 ml
I cut it and squeeze it because i don't wish to waste a single drops .
No ingredients list and box .

You can see the tiny little beads is actually concentrate capsulized ginseng .Each bottle of serum contains a whole ginseng .So is extra powerful .

Once apply , the capsules will melts into skin ,replenishing elasticity and hydrating your skin and leaving it soft and supple.

Their research team found that ginseng are good for anti-aging ,treats wrinkle and fortifying the elasticity of the skin .By adding this serum , it able to fights the spread of deeper wrinkles, reviving the elasticity of youthful skin.

-Use after lotion and essence
-Smell bitterly . For person who dont like the smell oriental medicine , please dont open this .
-Thicker consistency .capsulized ginseng doesn't feel scratchy , it melts very quickly .
-Feel heavy at beginning stage , takes 1-2 minutes for fully absorb ,leave matte finish .
-Youthful,bouncy and moisture after a few usage .Can definitely tell this is a strong powerful anti aging products .
-Feel tighten ( in good way) after it fully absorb .

Conclusion :
It is a multi propose ,mighty anti aging serum . It hydrate ,plump,lifting and feel youthful . If you are in/over 30s and only looking one serum ( and lazy to layer up ) , this is a great choice . It does a lots job in a few drops .
I think it still worth the money although it really killing me .
A great gift for mom , she will love it !

Rank :85%


End with my half face selfie after apply these 2 serum

Thanks for reading , bye =)

Review : Ludeya Aqua Balance Extreme Moisture Cream -Hyaluronic Acid + Squalane + Ceramide

2:40:00 PM Unknown 0 Comments

Hello =)

The product i want to review is :

 
Ludeya Aqua Balance Extreme Moisture Cream  玻尿酸丰润保湿水凝霜


So from the name 'aqua' 'extreme moisture'
i can properly feel this is SUPER HYDRATING product, so lets see !

-Oh ya in chinese they write '玻尿酸' , so its mean hyaluronic acid contains


Packaging : Light-Blue Transparent Plastic . The product it self is steady plastic tub with twist lid .A little bulky but look classy .

-High unit of hyaluronan acid , with the luxury unique refined hydrolyzed texture , immediately transform into micro hydration molecule which can penetrate deep into skin . The unique hydra system instantly increase skin moisture level & lock in moisture
-No Coloring , No Fragrance , lightly acid


-PH 5
- Soft Smooth white Gel-cream consistency
-easy spread on ,and feel 'waterin' while skim over
-leave lightly sheen film on top and disappear after 20 minutes .Not sticky
-Scent : Sour-ish ? i can't really tell how exactly the smell , but it smell sour
-50 ml . Last about 3 month for me 

-Perfect combination of big & small hyaluronic acid particle
-triple hydra system : hydrating +lock in moisture +form moisture protective layer
-hypoallergenic formula , suitable for all skin type even sensitive skin

Made in taiwan

Noteable ingredients : ( please click the picture and read full ingredients list )

-Hyaluronic acid 
-Squalane
-Jojoba seed oil
-Ceramide
-Geranium essential oil

** Contain Dimethicone  ( Some people don't like this , But I'm ... hmm okey )

-It is safe to use .
-Dimenthicone is a silicone based polymer . So when it added to skincare , you will get smooth and silky finish .But it actually wouldn't absorb by the skin( will just sit on top ),so it also may decrease the absorption of the products .
-Because it form a layer to trap/lock the moisture , So at the same time it may also include oil and sebum too. Oily& Acne skin may don't like this .
-May cause foundation/make up cant stay on well 'slippery'




*please ignore my orange grandma-style pyjamas

-I use it day and night because it light enough for daytime , and also moisture enough for the night with air conditioning
- Although the texture is light and slippery but don't apply too much because it will feel heavy afterward .

Before : Oil 15.5   Water 34.5
After 15 minute :  Oil 21.2    Water 47.3


Yes =)
1.Hydrate and lock in moisture
2.Non sticky but somehow it will feel a thin layer protection when you touch it
3.Suitable for sensitive skin
4.Affordable ( < Rm 65 )


No =(
1.No anti-aging benefit.
2.Sour-ish scent (it is not citrus y , so some may don't like it )
3.Contains Dimethicone  (I'm okey with this )



Conclusion :
I found this moisturizing cream is suitable for combination skin . Day and night
It didn't make me feel heavy or uncomfortable even i stand under hot sun , and didn't feel dry when i back to air conditioning room .
I got mine from iqueen.my
and i also found watsons selling it too .

Just grab this if you found it lower than Rm 50 , it worth your money .

Avene,

Empties - Avene,Hera,Dr.Wu, IOPE,Laneige ,Etude House

9:42:00 PM Unknown 0 Comments

Today i want to share some sample size products that i got recently .

Most of the sample that i got is from the previous purchase . It good to try samples before buy an actual item .


So today review will be short because :
-Some of them without ingredients list
-Samples only able to use few times
-Can't comment much in packaging 



So , here start with first products

1.Avene Sensitive white serum blanchissant whitening essence - 3ml

-Number of usage : 3
-Milky texture , easy spread on
-Smooth milky soft finish .
-Hydrate well , i don't have to add another hydrating serum/essence afterward
- This may not giving the best result for whitening but is gentle enough for those who super sensitive skin .



2.Hera Waterin Gel Cream - 5ml


No of usage : 6 times
-Soft gel-cream texture , leave baby-soft-non-greasy finish
-good hydration power
-take about 1 minutes to fully absorb (without massage )
-Smell amazing . Not for people who sensitive to fragrance
May purchase actual size



3.DR.WU renewal system daily renewal serum with mandelic acid 6%  - 5ml

-This mandelic acid claims to refine skin texture , diminish fine line and improve skin elasticity so i think is the same family with AHA or BHA
-Use this right after cleansing (before toner ). What i do is i leave this for 5 minute before i put on toner  
-Great packaging even though it is just a samples . Brown glass bottle with dripper
- liquidity texture . A little goes a long way
-Smell like cider vinegar , skin feel soft after apply 
-Use this at night and remember to wear sunscreen during daytime

-Normal . Not going to purchase .  Prefer AHA .



4. IOPE Super vital softener & emulsion (Extra concentrate )


-Softener : Gel liquidity . Good and easy to absorb . Feel moisture and plump after apply
-Emulsion : Milky . Leave greasy film on top , sticky

Both having strong fragrance and it last for hours .
I found this suitable for mature and dry skin . Feel too rich/heavy for me and i don't like the stickiness .



5. Etude house lip & eyes make up remover


-Blue-color oil + water mixture . Shake before use .
-Remove heavy make up easily , even waterproof
-Doesn't sting my eyes

Will purchase because it remove well and price are cheap. I don't really like etude house skincare but this is an exception .


6.Laneige water sleeping mask


-Best selling product . This products bring up the trend - Leave on overnight mask
-Light blue gel-cream texture .Absorb well. I feel a light thin film on top when i touch my face .
-i dont like the scent when i try on laneige counter , i feel it too strong for me . But this sample pack doesn't smell that intense . i-dont-know-why 乁(ツ)ㄏ
-The quality and results are above moderate .

May purchase if they having huge sales .



That's it !
Thanks for reading =)

Paradiso garden,

Review : Paradiso Garden Miracle Feather Light + Paphiopedilum Rejuvenating 天堂花园 羽透光瞬白 + 仙履蘭天堂奇蹟 安心产品

1:15:00 AM Unknown 0 Comments

Hello =)

After a few blog post about shopping in gmarket , now finally back to products review . It takes quite some time for me to try these products because the results not conspicuous .
 
so Lets begin





1.They use lots of plant extract .

-oh ya , their products are safe for mom-to-be and sensitive skin link

3.Not tested on animals .

4.30 days money back guarantee

* This is not a sponsor review , i just wanna share more background details for this brand .



 What i brought :

1. Feather light series
-Feather light miracle toner
-Feather light miracle essence

2.Paphiopedilum series
-Paphiopedilum revitalizing toner
-Paphiopedilum rejuvenatining essence

*harmless aesthetics
Products promise without parabens , TEA, sulfate,mineral oil , alcohol,ethanol, coloring .. etc



I begin off with feather light series 


You can buy their trial size essence at their website if you interest to have a try .link

Feather light miracle toner :
-Barley water-like color and texture , Absorb in second
-Smell perfumy ( but no 'fragrance' in ingredients list )
-Glassy and sleek bottle



Feather light miracle essence :
-Translucent liquidity , not sticky .
-Absorb in a minute after massage (i use 2 pumps)
-Same aromatic with the toner ( Same it doesn't contain fragrance , so the scent is from their plant extracts)
-Glassy and sleek bottle with pumps



Ingredients list, please click to read further

Feather light series contains some notable ingredients such as

-Niacinamide
-Tranexamic acid
-Calendula flower extract
-Myrciavia cauliflora pulp extract
-Job's tear seed extract
-Peppermint leaf extract



The essence claims to
-Solve dull skin 11.3%
-Fade-out spots 20.3%
-Increase hydration 15.3%
-Reduce the produce of melanin 8.9%
-Ameliorate skin yellowish 8.2%
-Improve skin transparency 10.5%


So, i use this essence for continuous 14 days ( in my ampm routine ). I notice that it doesn't really helps much in my existing sun spot and acne scarring . But It really does make my skin brighter .
My skin look rosy glow naturally. It also hydrate my skin well , this really surprise me because most of whitening product make my skin dry .



Conclusion :
This is a good brightening products but not for spots care/whitening .
You dont need to add another hydrating serum/essence in routine because it does hydrate well ( for my combination skin )
This series i recommend for all skin but not super sensitive because it contains lots of plants extract so it have more potential/chances to  make your skin react allergy .
The big downside for feather light series will be the scent , it is strong , it takes time to fade out and it smell perfum-ey  . So i highly suggest to get trial size first .



Second , Paphiopedilum Rejuvenatining line 


You can buy their trial size essence at their website if you want to have a try link

 They found Paphiopedilum ( a kind of orchid) perform 17 times anti-oxidant power than normal orchid . Great for rejuvenating, repairing , refining and firming .


 Paphiopedilum revitalizing toner

-liquid-gel texture , slide on smoothly
-tiny-mini yellowish
-Smell AMAZING-ORCHID. Not perfumy , Feels like you hugging orchid bouquet .
-Sleek glass bottle


 Paphiopedilum Rejuvenatining essence

-Milky serum-like essence
-Takes 3 minutes for fully absorb (without massaging )
- Sweet-smelling , But stronger than toner
-Baby-soft touch after apply
-Feels a thin layer film on top
-Glassy bottle with dropper



Click on if you wish to read ingredients list

Notable ingredients

-Paphiopedilum extract and oil
-Niacinamide
-Peudedanum ostruthium leaf
-tripleurospermum maritimum extract


 

This product claim to improve 

-17% reduce fine line
-36% pore tighten
-45% reduce dullness
-56% refining
-45% brightening
-80% skin hydration



 I do a small experience to test out the ' repairing' power . but actually 2 red dots look the same in the end .



I can definitely tell the different after i using the essence . My skin feel well hydrate and soooooooo soft .


Conclusion 
I can't tell the repairing power yet because i don't have somethings that need to repair on my skin at the moment ( finger cross , i don't want it !)
But this series works well on my skin , it did great hydration , firming , brightening and refining . Really enjoy the moment when i touch my skin , so young and juicy !

I highly recommend to use essence with together paphiopedilum revitalizing toner . Because this toner is amazing , the gel-like texture form wonderful moisture barrier .

And big big big additional point for paphiopedilum series is their ultra comfortable good scent . It smell natural , subtle and pleasantly .



OH YA ! If you really want to buy paradiso garden products, please grab them during sales because they will have promotion quite often .

The regular price tag are overpriced for me . I have better choice with that money.

You can follow their facebook for more update .



So, that's it.
I hope you enjoy my review .
good luck =)

Gmarket,

Gmarket haul 6,7,8- 果酱，吕 洗发素，文具，Glasslock,Lirikos ,illi，文具 超低邮费 太好买

2:55:00 PM Unknown 0 Comments

好，这一篇就打中文的


Gmarket 的超低邮费 特惠让我 买的快剁手了， 巴不得统统都把它运回家（要是自己亲身去韩国也不会这样买，东西好重怎么扛 0.0 ）

这里差不多每箱都10KG 以上，其实东西不多，只不过我专挑重的东西买（轻的下次买也行 的心态）   ---好抠门的想法

哈，开始分享我败了什么吧


Order 6 

30-4-2016 下单
11-5-2016  收货

东西一如往常 都干净 包的很好


到一些比较厨娘的 东西
3.Lock&Lock 的食物收纳盒 ,是一套的  link  
价钱是不贵可是不是韩国制造的( Lock&Lock 有工厂在越南，中国，韩国 ）个人觉得这质量好像没以前那么好了，希望是心里作用
4.Ottoggi 果酱 link
韩国的草莓又大又甜是出了名的，没办法把新鲜水果运过来就 买果酱吧。这味道挺好，就是偏甜了些。

5.Glasslock 玻璃的收纳盒 link
这里的是两套，小的我用来存放自己做的yogurt ，自制的机器 这里买 link
每次做好一大罐  ,就倒进小玻璃罐子里，一次吃一盒，方便
大的玻璃收纳是用来装鱼，肉，鸡腿等。因为这种很密封，味道不会跑出来  我很讨厌冰箱五味杂陈

glasslock的都是韩国制造的，虽然是耐摔玻璃，可是还是要小心哦


Order 7  

Order :10-5-2016
Received : 17-5-2016

1.Lirikos Hydrating pulse ampoule + Oyster spa set
2.Mamonde Rose Toner x2
3.Verite Brightening dual expert

link

这3样都是同一卖家的，有些下架了，所以我放卖家的链接。没错的话是官网
圈中是我买的，旁边都是赠品。很夸张多，所以要是喜欢赠品的，请和官网买，虽然会贵些

 Lirikos 的东西 值得推荐是 他的安瓶，加了它 就觉得它们家的安瓶是最好卖的是有原因的

verite 的精华还没用，还不能下定论，可是小样的水乳用了，难得的韩系产品 没有香料太浓

mamonde 玫瑰化妆水。味道 质地 保湿 都不错。是值得买的东东 。可是比较一些大牌就显逊色。 我把它倒入melvita 的喷雾瓶子里，hmm 还是觉得 melvita 的 味道及保湿会更胜一筹 。
我会乖乖的把它用完 。 用完了要是 没钱买贵的 也会回购

哦 ，忘了 好友吩咐订购的 innisfree 绿茶套装link
我和innisfree 没缘分，用了几样明星产品都感觉不到它的威力 ，就觉得还好而已
可是在闺蜜组里 它的欢呼声很高 所以保养品还是看肤质的

mise en scene 还没开始用，不能评论。买3瓶护发素 送小瓶的洗发.我的头发产品消耗是光速的 ，所以经常买来囤货

4. Happy bath pure cotton  flower  link

illi 的 cream . 里面 含有 ceramide 。这霜对过敏，干燥 都很好，是小孩都能用的。我买给我女儿，她遗传了我那难伺侯 纤细的皮肤，她也非常容易过敏，嘴角，颈项，大腿 经常红红一块。看了医生也只是搽药膏，想用用这个看看能不能让她好一些
买一瓶大的，送小毛巾和旅行装。
