Review: MAXCLINIC Purifying Vitamin Oil Foam & Cloud Embo Massage Brush

20. November 2016

From the moment I started using the asian double cleansing method I loved it! Double cleansing is easy and really makes a difference in your skin condition once you use it for a while. For the method you use two cleansing steps: in the first one, you remove the makeup, usually by using an oil cleanser, in the second step you clean your face by a foam cleanser for example. For many people this sounds like too much, because it takes to much time, so combination products are always popular. I reviewed the MAXCLINIX Caviar Massage Foam Oil in the past and today I will review another similar product, the MAXCLINIC Purifying Vitamin Oil Foam. Additionally, I will show you the Cloud Embo Massage Brush which completes this cleansing routine. Both products were kindly offered to me by BNTnews.

Max Clinic is a Korean brand. Unfortunately, the description is only in Korean, but this explains probably, why this brand is rather unknown to people outside of Korea and even to many lovers of asian beauty products. The packaging design of the products is simple and neat and both products came packed in cardboard boxes.

The MAXCLINIC Purifying Vitamin Oil Foam comes in a sturdy plastic container with a pump. It has a clear, plastic protective cap, too. The pump dispenser is a bit inconvenient, because it is not the long type of dispenser, where you easily can put your hand below, but you’ll always have to hold the bottle at an angle, so you dispense the product into the middle of your palms. Other than this the packaging looks elegant and the material is not appearing cheaply, but rather sturdy.

This massage and cleansing oil has a thick oil/jelly texture when pumped out. The formula contains capsules, which probably contain the vitamins. In order to use this cleanser you first dispense one pump on your palms and massage it on your dry face. After massaging, wet your hands and continue massaging. The oil becomes a bit foamy, although it doesn’t generate huge amounts of foams. The cleansing oil is a clear, oil type (of course), yellow-ish colored product and smells nicely. I didn’t find any information about the ingredients…but the packaging says “natural ingredients”, so I hope that’s true.

While cleansing your face this product doesn’t make your skin feel dry. The pH though lies at 7 and is not suited for those people in need of low pH cleansers. I experiened that the cleanser removes most makeup, but not all of it efficiently. Since it is claimed to be an all in one product this is a bit disappointing. The skin itself feels clean though, but for removing all your makeup you will need eye-and lip makeup remover.

The best way to use this product is in combination with the Cloud Embo Massage Brush. This super soft brush has two sides: a V-Padding Massage side and the Cloud Embo side. It is suggested to apply the oil cleanser first with your dry hands, then use the V-Padding Massage side of the brush to massage your face. Then, with the wet brush side brush your face in circular movements.

The oil cleanser lathers up into a much nicer foam when used together with the brush. And the bristles of the brush are so soft and nice and are perfectly suited for sensitive skintypes too.

Once the brush has been used make sure to rinse it off with clear water, then squeeze it out and leave it to dry thoroughly. The embo brush will be as soft as during the first time you used it. I love it!

I must say that for a all-in-one product I am not totally happy with the MAXCLINIC Purifying Vitamin Oil Foam. The foam it creates without using the help of a brush is really few. Also, it is not able to remove your eye makeup properly. The Cloud Embo Massage Brush on the other hand is great! I love that it has a massage side and I love how soft it is. You can buy the cleanser from ebay for around 17 US$ and the brush for 20 US$.

asian cosmetics beauty MeMeBox PR Sample review

Review: Oolu Orchid Emulsion and Toner

13. November 2016

Let’s continue with the reviews for the wonderful brand Oolu by Dr. OhKims: Today I’ll share my impressions with the Oolu Orchid Emulsion and Toner! First of all, who else loves orchids? Such a beautiful and exotic flower which is great in retaining nutrients and water and thus it is also popular in skincare. The Oolu Orchid Emulsion and Toner, which were sent to me by MeMeBox uses these flowers as key ingredients for their skincare here:

Oolu is a sister brand of Whamisa. If you know Whamisa you might already have thought about the resemblance in their packaging design and style. Both products are belonging to Dr. Ohkims Cosmetics. That is why both brands are focussing on natural cosmetic products and especially fermented plant extracts. The description for this brand stated at MeMeBox says:

“When plastic surgeons from Korea, the world’s leading nation in plastic surgery, create an organic skincare line, everyone ought to take note. The doctors behind Oolu, by Ohkims Cosmetic, believe natural beauty is the best beauty, so they curated choice floral leaves that help strengthen skin’s self-regenerating powers. A 1,656-hour fermentation process from selection to blending and steeping maximizes the natural benefits of these organic ingredients. Then the premium products, from toning mists to mask packs, are hand-made to ensure the highest quality. As they say, true beauty takes patience.”

I received a whole bunch of products from Oolu but I didn’t want to fit them all in one post, instead I divide the post into three parts starting with the Oolu Moisture Liquids, which I reviewed a couple of days ago and now continuing with the Oolu Orchid Emusion and Toner. Again, both products are beautifully packed in flowery cardboard boxes. The products themselves come in plastic bottles with metal screwing caps.

What makes Oolu cosmetics so special is that the key ingredient is preserved in the fluid products. For the Oolu Moisture Liquids there were jasmine and rose petals and blossoms inside the bottles. Here the Oolu Orchid Toner contains one single Orchid Flower. It is so pretty to look at! Also, the ingredients used in Oolu Cosmetics are Ecocert and from organic origin and they are free from animal testing!

Oolu Orchid Toner

Of course the signature color for the Oolu Orchid Emulsion and Toner is purple. The Oolu Orchid Toner is a liquid solution, almost like water with a light purple color. Toner is used after cleansing the face. You spread a bit into your palms or onto a cotton pad and pat it into your damp skin. I usually use my hands instead of a cotton pad, so I can benefit from the warms of my hands. The product tends to absorb more quickly then. The ingredients of the Oolu Orchid Toner are:

Orchid Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Glycerin, Helichrysum Italicum (Everlasting) Flower Extract, Symphytum Officinale Leaf Extract, Taraxacum Officinale (Dandelion) Leaf Extract, Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract, Pueraria Lobata Root Extract, Bellis Perennis (Daisy) Flower Extract, Lilium Tigrinum Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Paeonia Suffruticosa Root Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Orchid Flower, Adenosine, Rosewood Oil, Salvia Officinalis (Sage) Oil, Cedrus Atlantica Bark Oil, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Geranium Maculatum Oil, Brassica Oleracea Capitata (Cabbage) Leaf Extract, Beet Root Red

You can check the ingredients on COSDNA, too. According to COSDNA all the ingredients are safe to use and green-labelled. As I said before, the ability of orchids to retain moisture and nutrition makes it a great ingredient for anti-aging and strengthening the skin’s barrier. Additionally, the Oolu Orchid Toner contains Hyraluronic Acid and Glycerin for providing the skin with moisture. Moreover, the toner features a bunch of plant extracts and oils. This is why the toner doesn’t feel like water, although it is a runny liquid. The oils make it feel richer and it feels more nourishing on the skin, but doesn’t make it greasy. In contrast to the Oolu Moisture Liquids the Oolu Orchid Toner doesn’t contain alcohol. The scent of the product is mild and flowery.

Oolu Orchid Emulsion

The emulsion also features the signature color of the Oolu Orchid line, which is a purple color. The Oolu Orchid Emulsion is a lotion-type, light cream. It has a more runny texture than thick creams and is perfect for daily moisturizing. It is used after the toner. If you have serums and essences you should use them after the toner but before the emulsion. The ingredients of the emulsion are listed below:

Orchid Extract, Corylus Avellana (Hazel) Seed Oil, Rice Oil, Cetearyl Alcohol, Symphytum Officinale Leaf Extract, Taraxacum Officinale (Dandelion) Leaf Extract, Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract, Pueraria Lobata Root Extract, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil, Shea Butter, Sorbitan Olivate, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Paeonia Suffruticosa Root Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Cetearyl Olivate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Adenosine, Rosewood Oil, Salvia Officinalis (Sage) Oil, Cedrus Atlantica Bark Oil, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Geranium Maculatum Oil, Brassica Oleracea Capitata (Cabbage) Leaf Extract, Beet Root Red

You can check the ingredients via COSDNA for their properties. According to COSDNA there are three potential irritants included, which are Cetearyl Alcohol, Jojoba Oil and Apricot Oil. If you know that you react to these ingredient make sure to patch test before you use them. Apart from this all the ingredients are safe to use and green labelled. Also here, the key ingredient is orchid extract with its anti-aging and smoothing properties. Additionally you will find mostly plant extracts and oils in the ingredients list. Although the texture of the lotion is very liquid and light it needs more patience until it absorbs into the skin. It needs a couple of extra rubs and pats as I discovered. Once it absorbs it doesn’t leave the skin sticky or greasy but simply hydrated. It has a pleasant flowery scent.

For the Oolu Orchid Emulsion and Toner I can say that both products are really nice. I love the fact that Oolu cosmetics uses natural and organic ingredients and mostly plant extracts. I also love their packaging, especially their cardboard box, design and the idea of the flowers in the solutions. I especially like the toner here, because it contains the oils and feels nice and smooth on the skin. In contrast to the Oolu Moisture Liquids it doesn’t contains alcohol either, pure essences and extracts instead, which is lovely! The emulsion has the downside that it really takes a bit longer to absorb and to rub it into the skin. Once it is absorbed it feels nice though! My second downside for the emulsion is the bottle. I hate it when emulsions come in bottles like this! I always prefer pump containers here! It makes it so much easier to use…Both products are available from MeMeBox for 28 US$.

What do you think of Oolu Cosmetics so far? Would you like to try them?

beauty Garnier PR Sample review

Review: Garnier Ultimate Blends Delicate Oat Haircare

9. November 2016

Years ago I turned my back towards western haircare, because I made the experience that eastern haircare products made my hair simply more manageable. As time went by I occasionally came by the situation that some of my haircare products have been emptied before I could order any back-up. In these moments I needed to go to a local drugstore and check for their haircare products. For a while now Garnier introduced their Ultimate Blend series, where each haircare routine is dedicated to a key ingredient. I’ve been excited to try out the different versions since then(especially when the Ultimate Blends Honey were introduced). A while ago I was lucky to receive their latest addition to the Ultimate Blends series, the Garnier Ultimate Blends Delicate Oat haircare line.

The Garnier Ultimate Blends Delicate Oat line is designed for people with sensitive scalp and fragile hair. It is enriched with protein-rich ingredients, like oat and rice. Oat milk is rich in antioxidants, and rice cream, which provides moisture. The formula soothes the feel of sensitive scalps and leaves hair feeling protected and irresistibly soft to the touch according to the description.

Oat is a protein rich and low-fat cereal. Oat milk helps to soothe and nourish the hair without making it feel heavy or greasy. Rice Cream is produced by grinding of small grain rice. It is said, that is has moisturizing and protective properties for the hair and it is protein rich, too.

Garnier Ultimate Blends Delicate Oat haircare consists of four products: the shampoo, the conditioner, a treatment and a heat protection spray. The products are free of paraben and contain natural extracts. The shampoo and the conditioner come in regular plastic squeeze bottles containing 250 and 200 ml, respectively. At first I had some problems with squeezing out the products because every time I tried I squeezed out too much of it. After a while I got a feeling for how to handle it.

The treatment comes in a jar containing 300 ml. I know that most hair treatments come in jars, but actually I would prefer a pump or a tube, which is easier to handle while showering.

The Garnier Ultimate Blends Delicate Oat has been tested by me for some weeks already. Actually, I already finished one bottle of shampoo and conditioner before receiving the products to test and I didn’t have any problems with them during the time.

The shampoo of the Garnier Ultimate Blends Delicate Oat has a liquid, light cream consistency. It is a milky formula and you have to be careful while dispensing it (a pump would avoid this). You need a bit more product for it to lather up and build a nice foam, especially if you have long hair like me. The smell though is divine! It is the scent of sweet flowery milk, at least for me :D the conditioner and the treatment have the same scent. Both have thicker, creamy formulations. Still the treatment is even creamier than the conditioner. I discovered that the conditioner alone doesn’t manage my frizzy and tangled hair. I need the treatment or a good hair oil to be able to detangle properly. But the shampoo and conditioner used on their own make my hair super lightweight and soft.

The Garnier Ultimate Blends Delicate Oat does a good job in providing nutrients and moisturizing the hair. I love the packaging design and the color combination of white and light pink and I adore the scent. For me, the conditioner doesn’t provide enough for detangling my frizzy hair. I need to use the treatment together with it. Still I love the fact that the formulation is free of parabens and contains natural extracts, yet it contains silicons. I personally do not have sensitive scalp, only dry hair, so I cannot say how it will work on someone else, but I personally didn’t have problems with this haircare line. The great thing is that you can get the Garnier Ultimate Blends for a few bucks from your local drugstore. Still, although I liked and like using it, it does not compete with my favorite haircare product from Shiseido.

Did you try the Garnier Ultimate Blends Delicate Oat products? What is your favourite haircare?

asian cosmetics beauty Najoba PR Sample review

Review: Whamisa Organic Flowers Facial Oil

7. November 2016

Good news for my fellow German kbeauty lovers: Whamisa skincare is now also available in Germany through the online store for natural cosmetics Najoba. I received the Whamisa Organic Flowers Facial Oil for testing and since the temperatures are constantly dropping with the days it is always a good idea to have a facial oil at hands. Here is my impression:

The Korean brand Whamisa is relatively young and was founded in 2010 as certified natural cosmetics brand. Their key ingredients focus on plant based fermentation extracts. The brand name is written in Chinese characters which have the meaning of flowers and beauty and the use of four key components of natural materials in their products. The attractive ingredients are combined with a beautiful packaging design in light colors. Some of the products are decorated with flower illustrations, as you can see here, too.

The Whamisa Organic Flowers Facial Oil is made of 98 % of pure ingredients derived from nature. It provides deep moisture and absorbs into the skin without any stickiness according to the description. Fermented organic ingredients help the skin to protect itself from harmful environment and dryness by nourishing and creating a skin protective film. The facial oil is also supposed to improve the immunity of the skin by balancing the oil-moisture barrier. The skin is feeling more elastic, moisturized and brightened.

By the way, Whamisa products are formulated without Parabens/Synthetic/Chemical Preservatives, Artificial Dyes and fragrances, Petrochemicals, Silicon/Mineral Oils, EDTA, Animal Origin ingredients. Their products are environmental friendly and free from animal testing. The ingredients of the Whamisa Organic Flowers Facial Oil are:

*Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, *Camellia Japonica Seed Oil, *Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, *Corylus Avellana (Hazel) Seed Oil, *Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Daucus Carota Satica (Carrot) Seed Oil, Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Oil, Cucurbita Pepo (Pumpkin) Seed Oil, *Lactobacillus/Chrysanthemum Sinense Flower Ferment Filtrate, *Lactobacillus/Nelumbium Speciosum Flower Ferment Filtrate, *Lactobacillus/Taraxacum Officinale (Dandelion) Rhizome/Root Ferment Filtrate, **Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, **Paeonia Suffruitcosa Root Extract, **Glycyrrihiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Aniba Rosaeodora (Rosewood) Wood Oil, Geranium Maculatum Oil, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil

*Certified Organically Grown **Natural Perservative

You can check the ingredients also on COSDNA and you will see that the list is quite short, and that all the ingredients are green labeled. Since some of the oils can cause potential irritations or Acne please be sure to patch test before use. Apart from the plant-based oils like Argan oil, jojoba oil or Camelia oil the product contains also Lactobacillus fermented plant extracts. Ferment filtrate is nutrients-rich. It contains many vitamins, amino acids and proteins and helps to improve the moisture level of the skin.

The Whamisa Organic Flowers Facial Oil comes in a milk glass bottle with an attached pipette for dispensing the oil. you can see the yellow colored oil through the glass. In contrast to regular oils like olive oil you will see that this oil is more fluid. It has a light flowery/sweet scent which reminds me of the Whamisa sheet masks I reviewed previously. In order to use this facial oil in your skincare routine you place 1-3 drops on your palms after your regular moisturizing skincare. The you rub the palms to your face and pat until absorbed. I leaves the warming feeling of oil on the skin while applying and feels nourishing directly. It absorbs after a few rubs and leaves a very adorable glow on the skin, without being greasy. Depending on your skintype the amount of the oil varies. You can also mix one drop or two with your regular moisturizer.

I love the Whamisa Organic Flowers Facial Oil. It is not as heavy as pure argan oil, which I used last winter when my skin was too dry, but it still gives that noticeable protective film to your skin. My only downside for Whamisa products in generall is the price, especially if offered by shops outside of Korea. Of course a high price is justified by the origin of the ingredients, since it is natural and organic cosmetics, and for non-Korean sellers they also have to add the costs for export. Still 45 € for 30 ml bottle of facial oil can be considered quite expensive, but be assured that there are facial oils on the market with less effective ingredients/mineral oil and so on sold for even more.

What is your favorite facial oil?

Review: Oolu Moisture Liquid Jasmine and Rose

6. November 2016

I still cannot believe that I’m part of the MeMeBox Brand Ambassador program and that they’ve already been so kind to send me so many exciting products I cannot wait to share with you. If you are on a “no-buy” month you should definitely skip reading this review because the following products from the brand Oolu by Dr. OhKims are beyond beautiful. This review is about the Oolu Moisture Liquid.

I received a whole bunch of products from Oolu but I didn’t want to fit them all in one post, instead I divide the post into three parts starting with the Oolu Moisture Liquids. I was beyond happy to see that I received even two versions of the Oolu Moisture Liquid, the Jasmine version and the Rose version. These are also the two versions available on MeMeBox. On the official page of Ohkims cosmetics there is a third Moisture Liquid with Sunflower.

Oolu Moisture Liquid

Looking at the beautiful cardboard box packaging it is hard to imagine that the inside can even be more breathtaking, but it is! The bottles of the Oolu Moisture Liquid contain real flower petals and blossoms! It is so amazingly beautiful I cannot keep from looking at them. The description says, that to make one of those gorgeous bottles of Moisture Liquid it takes 1656 hours of preparation starting with collecting, drying, selecting and preserving process, blending, and so on. Although both Oolu Moisture Liquids are toners and are used after cleansing your face and before using other products like serums and cream both have distinct properties.

Oolu Jasmine Moisture Liquid

The description of the Oolus Jasmine Moisture Liquid says: “Jasmine Bloom with botanical natural extracts help the skin toning, moisturizing and revitalizing. It increases the skin elasticity and clearness.” This yellow colored liquid comes in a hard plastic bottle with a metal lid. Inside the bottle you will spot beautiful tiny jasmine flowers. I made a video on Instagram showing how pretty the flowers look like. The ingredients of the Jasmine Moisture Liquid are listed on MeMeBox:

Jasminum Officinale (Jasmine) Flower/Leaf Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Glycerin, Niacinamide, Caulerpa Lentillifera Extract, Artemisia Annua Extract, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Helichrysum Italicum (Everlasting) Extract, Azadirachta Indica Leaf Extract, Rhodiola Rosea Root Extract, Rosa Rugosa Flower Extract, Magnolia Kobus Flower Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Paeonia Suffruticosa Root Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Jasmine Flower, Jasminum Officinale (Jasmine) Oil, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Alcohol

You can look up the ingredients at COSDNA, too. All ingredients except of Jasmine Oil are labelled green. Jasmine Oil can be irritant to some people because it is considered a very heavy oil, so please be sure to avoid the product if you react to it. Jasmine Flower and Leaf extract is the key ingredient of course and it acts not only as fragrance but also for moisturizing and anti-inflammatory ingredient. Apart from Jasmine, which is obviously a key ingredient according to the name, you will discover our old friends Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide in the list. Also another bunch of plant extracts are listed (eg. licorice) . Lastly, the toner uses alcohol for better absorption into the skin. If you have dry skin and are worried about alcohol here: there is no need to fear that the alcohol dries out your skin. The Jasmine oil and the bergamotte oil give the Oolu Moisture Liquid a light oil consistency, not heavy but still you will feel how nicely it glides on the skin and how it feels like more than just a bit of water and alcohol, although it actually only looks like water. I find it extremely moisturizing and skin conditioning. The jasmine scent is definitely recognizable and it feels like a spa event if you like the scent and apply it. A little goes a long way here. You can decide whether to apply the moisture liquid by hands or by cotton pad. I usually use my hands for applying. It has a slightly sticky feeling to it at first, which disappears after a bit.

Oolu Rose Moisture Liquid

The description of the Oolu Rose Moisture Liquid says: “Fresh Rose Petal with botanical extracts help the skin calming, deep moisturizing and increases the skin elasticity.” This pink colored liquid comes in a hard plastic bottle with a metal lid, like the Jasmine Moisture Liquid. Inside the bottle you will spot rose petals instead of jasmine blossoms.The ingredients of the Rose Moisture Liquid are listed on MeMeBox:

Rose Damascena Flower Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Glycerin, Niacinamide, Rhodiola Rosea Root Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Taraxacum Officinale (Dandelion) Leaf Extract, Olea Europaea (Olive) Leaf Extract, Iris Versicolor Extract, Hibiscus Sabdariffa Flower Extract, Caulerpa Lentillifera Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Paeonia Suffruticosa Root Extract, Rose Damascena Flower, Adenosine, Rose Damascena Flower Oil, Geranium Maculatum Oil, Brassica Oleracea Capitata (Cabbage) Leaf Extract, Alcohol

You can look up the ingredients at COSDNA, too. All ingredients are labelled green. Rose is surely the key ingredient here. Rose extract is antibacterial in first case, but also acts as fragrant. You will discover Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide in the list here, too. Also another bunch of plant extracts are listed. Lastly, the toner uses alcohol for better absorption into the skin. If you have dry skin and are worried about alcohol here: there is no need to fear that the alcohol dries out your skin. The rose oil and the wild geranium oil give the Oolu Moisture Liquid a light oil consistency, similar to the Jasmine Moisture Liquid. The scent is not an extreme rose heavy as some other products, but you will definitely recognize the rose scent. A little goes a long way here, too. You can decide whether to apply the moisture liquid by hands or by cotton pad. I usually use my hands for applying. It has a slightly sticky feeling to it at first, which disappears after a bit.

If you are a sucker for special packaging design you will need to get the Oolu Moisture Liquid Jasmine and/or Rose. The flowers inside the bottles are super pretty. I also like the hard plastic bottles here. Furthermore, I’m quite a scent-loving person and these definitely have a scent to them. I really like both because I love rose and I love jasmine scent. Although the two toners claim to have slightly different properties I didn’t feel any difference between using these two. I really like them both. Oh, and did I say that Oolu products are free from animal testing?! Also, their pH is between 5-6. Each bottle of this precious Oolu Moisture Liquid contains 200 ml and retails for Oolus Jasmine Moisture Liquid . Also, since it is natural cosmetics it has to be used within 6 months after opening. What do you think about these two products?

Review: It’s Skin Power 10 Formula Propolis Ampoule

2. November 2016

Another propolis ampoule I’ve been trying since I finished up the COSRX Propolis Light Ampule: I received the It’s Skin Power 10 Formula Propolis Ampoule by Korean cosmetics online shop Qdepot and I’ve been testing it for quite a while now. Actually, I’ve been wanting to try something from the It’s Skin Power 10 Formula line a long time already, so I’m happy I was offered this opportunity.

It’s Skin is a Korean brand made by dermatologists at Seoul University and it was created to recover the natural power of the skin. The brand is not expansive, but on the same level like Etude House. They also have some cute designs for some of their products, so in general it is an interesting brand, especially their Power 10 Formula intrigued me for a long time. There are 12 or even 13 different kinds of ampoules reaching from Vitamins to Q10, and even yeast filtrate. I guess you will find every possible ampoule. I decided to try another Propolis Ampoule since I enjoyed the previous one already so much.

The It’s Skin Power 10 Formula Propolis Ampoule comes in a glass bottle with an attached pipette as lid. The bottle is yellow colored, but transparent enough to see how much product is left inside. Of course the key ingredient here is Propolis. Propolis is a resinous mixture collected from barks of trees by bees to seal their chambers with the larvae. Propolis has antibacterial and antifungal properties and thus protects the larva, but this also makes it useful in skincare, especially for troubled skin, but it also has skin conditioning properties and makes your skin feel smooth.

If you check COSDNA you will see that the ingredients list is not too long, which is quite positive. Apart from Propolis the ampoule contains honey, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide, which are all great and effective ingredients for anti-inflammatory effects, hydration and brightening. The majority of the ingredients is green labelled, too.

The It’s Skin Power 10 Formula Propolis Ampoule has a milky consistency, which is not totally liquid like a toner but shows some substance. It is easily blended in though and turns into a watery solution once starting to rub it in. It makes the skin feel smooth while applying and glides over the skin– not in the same way as oil, but in a silky smooth way, if you know what I mean. The scent is nice, too, and not overly strong. The ampoule absorbs quickly without a sticky or greasy feeling, but it leaves a nice glow on the skin. I use a few drops on my skin until I feel I have used enough to cover my face and neck.

It is hard to say which ampoule I would prefer, the one from COSRX or the It’s Skin Power 10 Formula Propolis Ampoule. Both are different in their consistency and in the feeling they leave on the skin. The COSRX serum has the shorter ingredients lists and doesn’t contain any potential triggers. Since it is a light ampoule it is probably suited better for sensitive skintypes. The Propolis serum from It’s Skin feels “heavier” without being heavy on the skin, but the texture feels richer. I like both ampoules but if I had both at hands I would prefer the COSRX one for summer season and the one from It’s Skin for winter. You can buy the It’s Skin Power 10 Formula Propolis Ampoule from QDepot for 18.13 US$.

Q-depot is an online retailer for Korean cosmetics. They have already quite a variety of the most popular Korean brands and they keep adding products frequently. The site is easy to navigate, too. And they offer free samples for each order and free shipping for orders above US$ 49. They are committed to contributing 3% of their group’s net profit for social causes in different countries. So you can shop for your favorite Korean products and do something good, too. Also, Q-depot is having a promotion were you can get 5 US$ off your first order by using the code SW5OFF (orders +50 US$) or 10% off your first order using SW10OFF.

Review: Heimish Dailism Serum Rouge Lipsticks

1. November 2016

I’m honestly super excited to share about this review of the Heimish Dailism Serum Rouge Lipsticks, which were sent to me by StyleKorean. Heimish is recently one of the most anticipated Korean brands and has been mentioned in many big magazines like Allure. I also read a couple of other reviews by fellow bloggers and it seems that they have quite some quality products worth a try. I’m happy to introduce three colors of the Heimish Dailism Serum Rouge Lipsticks to you today:

Heimish is a Korean cosmetics brand which just launched this year in March. It gained a lot of attention through the easy and modern style of their products and the use of every day colors in their makeup range. They have not only makeup like eyeshadow palettes, lip products and makeup, but also cleansers. The first time I heard about the brand the cleansing balm (I linked the lovely review by “the point of vu” here) got my attention.

The Heimish Dailism Serum Rouge are the moisturizing lipstick range from Heimish. There are a total of 8 shades available from which I will show you the shades “All Night”, “Morning Glow” and “Early Bright”. The creamy type lipsticks containing vegetable oils are supposed to apply smoothly and provide a high fit with a visible color pigmentation.

The lipsticks are packed in cardboard boxes with a pretty and soft design in pink and geometric pattern on the sides. Each of the sleek lipsticks has a purple metal packaging with a magnetic locking mechanism which helps to close the cap tightly and prevents from going loose in your handbag for example. Love this mechanism of closing the cap! The lipstick bullets are 3 g each.

The Heimish Dailism Serum Rouge Lipsticks contain sunflower seed oil extract, brazil nut oil extract, rosehip oil extract and chinese oil extract. These oils help to moisturize your lips while wearing lipstick and prevent them from drying. When applying the lipsticks you will see that they glide super softly over the lips. It has a perfect creamy lipstick formulation and doesn’t feel drying on the lips.

The colors look slightly different from the colors of the advertorial pictures. I chose one dark and two nude lipstick colors. “All Night” is a vibrant fuchsia pink color and the darkest red-ish shade from the Heimish Dailism Serum Rouge. “Morning Glow” and “Early Bright” appeared like nude/beige colors in the advertorial image but turns out that “Early Bright” is a pale rose color and “Morning Glow” a peachy coral shade.

The color pigmentation upon applying is good and the colors are clearly visible, even the light ones show up on my lips. Of course, the staying power is not good as it is with matte lipsticks or stains, since creamy lipsticks tend to transfer and be removed easily from the lips as soon as you drink or eat something, but still in winter and for every day use these are perfect to hydrate and care for your lips despite having some color on them at the same time. Unfortunately, due to my darker natural lip color, “Morning Glow” and “Early Bright” only show slight differences when applied. In the swatches on my hand the colors show their differences. If you want to show the differences of these two shades it is better to use a lip concealer before applying the lipstick.

I really like these lipsticks. I love the packaging and the closing mechanism of the cap and I love the creamy soft texture of the lipstick itself. Perfect lipstick for dry seasons and therefore I can recommend it. Especially if you like every day colors and more sheen lipsticks these will be totally yours. I wished they had more red shades though and that the advertorial pictures would show the right colors for the swatches. It would it make much more easy to select a color. The lipsticks are available from Stylekorean for 10.46 US$.

Did you try any products from this new Korean brand already?

Review: Pony Effect Staying Matte Fit Lip Colour

27. October 2016

// AFFILIATE LINKS / LIPS / KBEAUTY //

When MeMeBox launched their first cooperation with Pony I was so excited. I loved (and still love) watching her tutorials on YouTube. I had to order the Pony x MeMeBox Eyeshadow Palette right away and I’m still in love with it and use it super often, and more than other eyeshadow palettes I bought. When Pony launched her own makeup brand called Pony Effect, I was super excited, but the fact that they were not so easy to order (MeMeBox wasn’t shipping to Germany any longer) and also quite expensive made me stay away from buying. After a while W2Beauty started to carry the products from MeMeBox and things got more easy for me, too, but I was still not sure what to buy. Especially when you have more than enough from anything and try to reduce the amount of cosmetics by finally using it up…Nevertheless, I couldn’t resist buying the Pony Effect Staying Matte Fit Lip Colours when they released…Shame on me!

“Discover a more beautiful You, discover your beauty potential” is the leading statement and motivation by makeup artist Pony for her brand Pony Effect. The products from the brand are focusing on make-up mainly, although I spotted some sheet masks recently, too. The design of her products is modern and trendy, so also for the Pony Effect Staying Matte Fit Lip Colour. The key color I associate with Pony Effect is rosegold. You will spot that her products either have a rosegold colored cap or the logo is imprinted in rosegold color.

The Pony Effect Staying Matte Fit Lip Colour has a matte liquid lipstick formula, which promises to dry into an opaque and matte finish without drying out the lips like other matte lipsticks. There are 10 different shades available, from which I chose 2. It turned out that I selected shades “Magnificent” and “Flawless”.

Magnificent is a nude/rose-colored shade whereas Flawless is a tomato red one. Ir was really hard to decide since I have so many red lipsticks already. But nevertheless, I had simply to take one red shade because it is the color I wear most often. The lipsticks come packed in cardboard boxes in black and rosegold color, very simple and neat and yet modern. The lipsticks themselves come in typical lip gloss bottles with rosegolden caps, You can see the color of your shade through the bottle.

The directions for using these liquid lipsticks is pretty easy, but since it is a matte product I can only advise you to exfoliate your lips. It will look so much better on smooth lips than on dry and chapped lips. Then apply one thin layer of the product.

The Pony Effect Staying Matte Fit Lip Colour have an included applicator attached to the cap, like most liquid lip products. The applicator has an angled brush, which works nicely for applying the product. If you do not want an opaque layer you can also just dab a few dots on your lips and blend it in quickly.

The liquid formula dries down after a few seconds to a matte finish and leaves really a good stain. Even after showering and washing my arms I could still see the marks of the swatches on my skin. Maybe it is not advised to use your fingers for blending in the products, but use a cotton swab instead. Mostly I was worried about two things: I didn’t want the same experience as I had with the Clio Lipnicure, which started to peel of in flakes after a while. Second, I was worried that the brighter color “Magnificent” would settle into the lines of lips, making it look ugly and strange. Non of my worries happened. The lipstick doesn’t peel of but fades nicely when eating a lot of fatty food. still the stain is visible for a long time. The bright color does not settle either into the lines but looks perfectly fine. Of course due to the shades “Magnificent” doesn’t leave such a strong stain as “Flawless” does, but for a nude lipstick the stain is still pretty great. Of course, since they have a matte formulation they won’t be as moisturizing as lip balms, but they are not drying as some other matte lipsticks either. Below you can see the two shades swatched and applied.

I do not regret buying these two Pony Effect Staying Matte Fit Lip Colour shades. I love the colors, I love the finish and the texture and I love their performance. I can definitely say that these are great. Of course, since people tend to have different natural lip colors, the swatches may turn out slightly different on you, but still I heard that these shades worked great on most people who tried them before. I’m totally happy and I can give my thumbs up for these!

I bought mine from W2Beauty but you can check elsewhere to find it, too. Some stores were you can buy the Pony Effect Staying Matte Fit Lip Colours are:

W2Beauty for 24.26 US$

MeMeBox US for 18.50 US$

asian cosmetics beauty Kokofash PR Sample review

Review: Atoclassic Real Tonic Calming Smart Lotion and Intensive Cream

25. October 2016

// PR SAMPLE / KBEAUTY / SKINCARE //

Today I will continue with the review of the Atoclassic Real Tonic skincare line which the overly lovely Jieun from Kokofash send out to me for reviewing purpose. Again my thanks to hear to give me so much time for the reviews! I really tested all the products thoroughly since May and I’m so happy to be able to write the reviews now. She sent me a total of 4 products, plus four different types of sheet mask, so I will make three separate reviews. I started with the Atoclassic Real Tonic Soothing Multi Cleanser and Soothing Origin Essence last time and today I will talk about the Atoclassic Real Tonic Calming Smart Lotion and Intensive Cream.

Atoclassic is a Korean hanbang brand with more than 100 years of experience, developed by a Korean herbal medicine doctor family of three generations. They opened their clinic in 1912 and been devoted to treating skin diseases and troubles since 1997 and by now there are 15 clinics across Korea. The same ingredients for treatments used in these clinics (both internal and external) have been used to create Atoclassic skincare line. The Real Tonics skincare range thereby focuses on enhancing complexion in whole.

The design of the brands products is simple, and yet really beautiful! All the products have white containers with black/grey flower and plant illustrations. There is a rosegolden ring around the cap of the products which makes it even more elegant and beautiful! All the products are packed in separate cardboard boxes with the similar beautiful design. I was absolutely stunned when I opened the box! The Atoclassic Real Tonic skincare products consist of a cleanser, an essence, a lotion and a cream. A toner is still being developed. Furthermore, there are 4 different sheet masks available. Here are my reviews for the Atoclassic Real Tonic Calming Smart Lotion and Intensive Cream:

Atoclassic Real Tonic Calming Smart Lotion

The Atoclassic Real Tonic Calming Smart Lotion is a lightweight lotion with a calming fragance according to the description. It is safe for all skintypes and also suited for under eye area, aswell for breastfeeding women. Below you can see the beautiful bottle of the Atoclassic Real Tonic Calming Smart Lotion.

The ingredients of the lotion are listed below. I can spot a lot of plant based extracts when taking a closer look here.

Ingredients: Water, Glycerin, Dipropylene Glycol, Olivoyl Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Oleate, Glyceryl Stearate, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Hydroxide, Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil, PEG-100 Stearate, Butylene Glycol, Hydrogenated Polydecene, Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Stearic Acid, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Citrus Unshiu Peel Extract, Sophora Angustifolia Root Extract, Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract, Angelica Gigas Root Extract, Cnidium Monnieri Fruit Extract, Forsythia Suspensa Fruit Extract, Lithospermum Erythrorhizon Root Extract, Sanguisorba Officinalis Root Extract, Xanthium Strumarium Fruit Extract, Astragalus Membranaceus Root Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Coptis Chinensis Root Extract, 1,2-Hexanediol, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Disodium EDTA, Allantoin, Xanthan Gum, Tocopheryl Acetate, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Ceramide 3, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Biosaccharide gum-1

You can look up the ingredients on COSDNA >>here<<. There are some typical key ingredients for hanbang included in this lotion. Lithospermum Erythrorhizon Root heals jaundice, baby boils & ageing spots. It is also said to have antiviral properties and detoxes by promoting blood circulation. Korean Angelica helps pus/skin trouble to get easily extruded, promotes skin’s radiance, and helps to produce new blood. Elm tree / Ulmus Davidiana root helps reduce puffiness and reduces insomnia, sinus, ageing spot and freckles. All these sound kind of promising already. On top it contains also licorice, ceramide and macadamia seed oil. there are some yellow labelled ingredients though, although in the minority so please be sure to patch test before you use it.

Like the cleanser and the essence the lotion comes in a pump bottle. The bottle contains 200 ml of product, which is huge and lasts for quite a bit. The texture is quite thick for a lotion I would say. Therefore I loved using it as my main moisturizer. It makes the skin feel hydrated and glowy, but absorbs fast into the skin. Although it has a rich consistency it is not sitting heavily on the skin but fully absorbs.

Atoclassic Real Tonic Calming Intensive Cream

The Atoclassic Real Tonic Calming Intensive Cream is the last step of your skincare routine. It is suited as night cream. In the morning it can be applied in addition to your lotion in the eye area for extra hydration. It is mildly formulated to be suited for all skincare types again.

The ingredients of the Atoclassic Real Tonic Calming Intensive Cream are listed below and also here the main components of the cream are plant-based.

Ingredients: Water, Glycerin, Dipropylene Glycol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Betaine, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Hydrogenated vegetable Oil, Lecithin, Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil, Cetearyl Glucoside, Glyceride Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Vitris Vinifera Seed Oil, Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract, Citrus Unshiu Peel Extract, Sophora Angustifolia Root Extract, Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract, Angelica Gigas Root Extract, Cnidium Monnieri Fruit Extract, Forsythia suspensa Fruit extract, Lithospermum Erythrorhizon Root Extract, Sanguisorba Officinales Root Extract, Xanthium Strumarium Fruit Extract, Astragalus Membranaceus Root Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Coptis Chinensis Root Extract, Trehalose, Beeswax, Tri-C14-15 Alkyl Citrate, Hydrogenated Polydecene, Limnanthes Alba Seed Oil, Imperata Cylindrica root Extract, Viscum Album Leaf Extract, Butylene Glycol, Stearic Acid, Olyacrylate-13, Polyisobutene, Polysorbarte 20, Caprylic/capric glycerides, Citrus Paradisi Fruit Extract, Caprylyl Glycol, Panthenol, Lavendula Angustifolia Oil, Potassium Hydroxide, Disodium EDTA, Ceramide 3

You can look up the ingredients also on COSDNA >>here<<. There are similar key ingredients to the Calming Smart Lotion, but apart of these you will find more oils in this cream, like shea butter and macadamia oil and so on. These make the cream more rich than the lotion.

Other than the other products from the Atoclassic Real Tonic series, the Intensive Cream comes in a jar containing 50 ml. The jar comes with a plastic spatula for taking out the cream, which is great. Between the lid and the container is a second plastic lid. Compared to the already rich lotion this cream is even richer. It is definitely something for dry skintypes and for cold winters because it gives so much oils to your skin and protects it. It is too much for normal and oily skintypes, because the lotion fulfills already all the needs of moisture here. Since it is mildly formulated it needs a bit longer for absorption and has to be rubbed into the skin in circular motions to help the absorption.

I love the Atoclassic Real Tonic Calming Smart Lotion and Intensive Cream. They are perfectly suited for dry skintypes and formulated as rich creams. I was surprised to see that the lotion was not the usual milky thin lotion but really a rich cream already. On regular basis the lotion would have been totally sufficient for me. The cream is so much more rich that I loved using it when my skin felt tight or super dry. I guess it will be great for cold winters. Both formulations can be used under the eye, too, which is great. The Atoclassic Real Tonic Calming Smart Lotion retails for 52 Singapore Dollars which is around 38 US$ from Kokofash. The Atoclassic Real Tonic Calming Intensive Cream retails for 59 Singapore Dollars, which is around 42 US$. Kokofash ships also to US, Europe and Australia! What I really like about the store is that they offer you selected brands which are not at easily seen elsewhere in online stores. I really like how much effort is put into this online store. I hope you will stay tuned for the last reviews of the sheet masks from this skincare line, I really enjoyed using these so much, that I hope that you will share my excitement.

What is your first impression of this hanbang brand? Did you try anything from this brand already?

Top 10 Must-Try KBeauty Box | YesStyle

23. October 2016

YesStyle is probably one of the most widely known retailers for fashion and beauty online, especially when you are looking for something from asia. They have a wide selection of KBeauty products and recently they have made a list of their Top 10 Must-Try KBeauty Products 2016. I had the chance to receive one of their beauty boxes containing their Top 10 products for testing and I would love to share my opinion with you on these products.

YesStyle is the first online retailer to globally distribute a wide range of fashion, beauty and lifestyle products from Asia. Apart from their selection of Korean beauty products you will also find Japanese and Taiwanese products in their selection. Let’s take a look at the products from their Top 10 Must-Try KBeauty Products, which were by the way packed in a beautiful pastel colored box:

The Top 10 products are very versatile and reaching from skincare to makeup products reaching from brands that are well-known and brands that have a name amongst kbeauty enthusiasts. The selected products are from Etude House, Tonymoly, Berrisom, Laneige, Tosowoong, Beauty People, and MacQueen. Below is a picture of all the 10 products from the selection:

In my past years of asian beauty product addiction I already tested quite a lot of products and surely some of the ones you will spot here have been in my stash and under testing previously. Still, since I want to keep you updated as good as possible, I will update and rewrite some of my old reviews of the products I tested in the past with new images and maybe also with a new impression. Bur first I want to share with you a quick first impression of all the 10 products.

I’ll try to keep the products thematically, so I will start with the skincare products, which can be categorized in the masks type.

Tonymoly I’m Real Sheet Mask

Of course a Top 10 KBeauty selection needs a sheet mask. YesStyle selected the Tonymoly I’m Real Sheet Masks as part of their favorites. I received the Tonymoly I’m Real Makgeolli Mask Sheet for Skin Purification. I reviewed these masks in the past and I loved the packaging design so much! I think I also tried the Makgeolli Mask back then, but I only reviewed the lemon and the avocado mask. The avocado mask was a real hit for me back then because it made my skin feel so nourished even on the next day. You can check my previous reviews >>here<< (Tonymoly I’m Real Lemon Mask Sheet) and >>here<< (Tonymoly I’m Real Mask Sheets). I’m hoping for a similar experience with the Makgeolli Sheet Mask, but I will let you know about the details.

Etude House Collagen Eye Patch

Apart from your face you also need to take special care for your under eye area. Eye patches are my life savers after a short night in the next morning. I really love my SNP Bird’s Nest Aqua Hydrogel Eye Patches. Now I had the chance to try the Etude House Collagen Eye Patches and also here I must say that it is such a nice feeling to have eye patches. These eye patches are not made from hydrogel in contrasts to the ones from SNP. There will be a full review in future, too.

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask

This sleeping mask is designed for your lips to make them feel super soft and hydrated the next morning. The Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask has been on my wishlist for ages and so I’m super happy to be able to review this in more detail. I’m so curious myself, but I can already tell you that I heard so many positive things about this one.

Tosowoong Blackhead & Sebum Out Nose Pack

There are two kinds of people, those who love nose stripes and those who would never use them. I love them…at least occasionally! Also, my boyfriend always uses my nose stripes for himself. I can already say that he was impressed on how much stuff he got rid of with the Tosowoong Blackhead & Sebum Out Nose Pack. Since they are black you will see almost everything which comes off…sounds gross…and it is! But it works!

Let’s now take a look at the makeup products from the Top 10 Must-Try KBeauty selection from YesStyle.

Beauty People 10 Seconds Auto Pencil Eyeliner

I received a light color for the Beauty People 10 Seconds Auto Pencil Liner and it is really pretty and versatile to use for highlighting the eyes. If I’m not mistaken I never reviewed any products from the brand Beauty People so it is time to do this as quickly as possible. Review will be upcoming :)

Etude House Color My Brow

The Etude House Color My Brow is a eyebrow coloring mascara and it was one of the early products that I bought from this Korean brand. Since then they have changed the size of the product (it is larger now) and I think they have slightly altered the packaging design, too. You can take a look at my old review >>here<< (apologies in advance for the bad and poorly written reviews back then). I want to rewrite this review and update it with the new version I received here.

Berrisom Oops My Lip Tint Pack

I already have two of the Berrisom Oops My Lip Tint Pack and now this and I can definitely say that this is one of my favorites, too! These peel of lip tints will stain your lips like hell and the color is really long-lasting. It is a bit time-consuming compared to a regular lip tint, because you have to apply it first on your lips, leave it to dry, and peel it off before you are ready, but I love them. You can read my reviews >>here<< and >>here<< for the two shades I bought myself (shade “Virgin Red” and “Sexy Red”).

MACQUEEN Creamy Lip Tint

The MACQUEEN Creamy Lip Tint comes in a super adorable tiny matte milkglass bottle which is so adorable at first sight already. I heard some good things about it and so I cannot wait to share swatches and my full review on this. The pink color looks lovely, too. Review upcoming.

Berrisom Oops Tint Cheek Cushion

The Berrisom Oops Tint Cheek Cushion has been on my wishlist aswell, especially since I’m so in love with the Oops My Lip Tint. I have a similar cushion type cheek product from Too Cool For School which I like a lot so I hope that this will be similar.

Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream Cover & Bright Fit SPF30 PA++

The Etude House Precious Mineral BB Creams are probably one of the most known and used BB creams. My first BB cream was from Missha and I loved it so much that apart from samples I never had a full-sized tube of any Etude House Precious Mineral BB cream. The Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream Cover & Bright Fit SPF30 PA++ is my first one now and I already used it a couple of times and liked it quite a bit. It has more a matte finish on my drier skin, but still does not make it appear flaky. It was nice to use a BB cream out of the tube after so much cushion bb cream craze. I will definitely write a full review for this one.

As you can see the Top 10 Must-Try KBeauty Products selected by YesStyle are quite versatile. You will find almost everything here and I can confirm that some of these have already been within my favorites before, too. I’m curious to try the ones I didn’t now so far and show you my impression on these. You can get the products from YesStyle of course and you will find the links and prices below:

Berrisom Oops My Lip Tint for 8.46 US$

Tony Moly I’m Real Mask Sheet for 3.71 US$

Beauty People 10 Seconds Auto Pencil Eyeliner for 6.90 US$
