reviewing products that I have finished, and liked/disliked.
Aēsop Parsley Seed Cleansing Masque - i have a soft spot for clay masks which require some leave-on time, it psychologically convinces me that my face is being worked on lol. this masque contains a sturdy formula which applies on neatly, tightens my skin while doing its anti-oxidising magic, and smells more lavender-ish than parsley. i would classify it as a superficial cleanser though, as it doesn’t exactly remove impurities (especially from your pores), it does leave your skin feeling fresh and soft.
Aēsop Control - my current turn-to product whenever something extra pops up on my face! the formula is transparent, gooey, kinda reminds me of diluted honey; but oh does it disappear right straight into your little bugger blemishes! a lot of other pimple products work by sitting on your blemish as a protective layer and drying up your zit, which in turn dries up the skin around it too. but this claims otherwise, and by the looks of the ingredients list, i know i’m in safe hands.
Aēsop Camelia Nut Facial Hydrating Cream - absorbs well, light finish, smells peculiarly comforting. i used this on lazy nights where i don’t want to do much for my face, but its surprisingly enough for my skin to get through 7 hours of blasting aircon. the product comes in an unexpected shade of yellow, and apparently works best with dry skin. i might consider repurchasing this.
Laneige Water Sleeping Pack - no stranger to the masses, this is probably laneige’s most famous product. i remember first buying it when i was in college and treating it like a precious piece of gold. i strictly followed the instructions and applied it carefully lest i make a mistake on any of the mentioned steps. but now ha, i couldn’t care less. overtime, i and my skin have outgrown this product; to the point that i now use it on my legs and hair lol. the last time i used it on my face, it didn’t absorb well so i ended up sleeping with a sheet of product on my face, very uncomfortable.
Caolion Blackhead Steam Pore Pack - (an improved version has been released!) to remove impurities from your pores, you’ll need them to open up. and this product wins in that aspect because it heats up your face upon application, and remains heated till you wash all the product off. it also contain micro grains for ‘exfoliation’ purposes once your pores are open. very ingenious i would say! note of caution though, do not apply too much gloop at one time, the heat burns and induces tears haha #truestory
Hera UV Mist Cushion Long Stay - the 1st cushion pact i liked, and the only one i was faithful to. i honestly cant find a bad hera product! used this pact as my daily base and i’ve gone through 2 refills. the formula is very buildable, depending on how much coverage you’re after and how much product your puff is picking up. the finish isn’t the mattest of matte (typical of a korean cushion pact since 물광 is all the rage), but its a great improvement from the original formula and i really like the balance of both worlds. regarding the ‘long stay’ promise, it lasts throughout the day for me personally since i’m usually indoors under the aircon (sun melts me sorry). i’m not a fan of bringing my base makeup out and touching up midday so although the sophisticated case is bulky, it doesn’t affect me at all. i’ve actually bought even more refills for this, but while waiting for them to arrive i got impatient and moved on to the iope pacts, so till next time hera!
Aritaum Water Sliding Tint - finished another one!
