Review: Holika Holika Jewel-Light Waterproof Eyeliner No. 07

6. May 2014

// KBEAUTY / MAKe UP / AFFILIATe LINKS //

Today’s review is about Holika Holika Jewel-light Waterproof Eyeliner No.07. With Etude House’s Play 101 pencil liners coming up now it may be interesting to have another set of good pencil liners in the back of your head, especially if you like pencil liners with glitter particles. I received this one in the Lunar New Year Giveaway by Tiffany, Misa and Maryangela (check out their blogs by clicking on their names!:D). Thanks again to all three of them for the nice products!♥

There are 16 shades available in total and each of them does contain shimmer/glitter. The pencils have a simple design, each of them in the color of the eyeliner, so you can grab easily your desired color. The pencils are made of soft plastic, which can be sharpened easily. The eyeliners don’t contain a sharpener themselves, but any usual sharpener works.

The eyeliner I received has a white shimmering color which is nice for highlightening. It is supposed to be smudge proof, waterproof and long lasting and it fulfills all these criteria as you can see in the image below. Only with rubbing and warm water together it starts to give in.
The ingredients don’t contain anything harmful, even hydrogenated castor oil, which may cause acne, is nothing to worry about, since you don’t use this product on your whole face (hopefully :D – it won’t look pretty).

Cyclomethicone, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Mica, Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate, Polyethylene, Ceresin, Titanium Dioxide(Ci 77892), Silica, C12-15 Alkyl Ethylhexanoate, Polyglyceryl-2 Triisostearate, Hydrogenated Castor Oil
 
All in all there is nothing negative to say about this pencil eyeliner. It applies smoothly, it is pigmented and it is smudge- and waterproof. Even the price is good ;)
 
You can get these at:
Twofacemall for US$ 8.05 ( free shipping option)
 
W2Beauty from US$ 7.52 onwards (free shipping option. You’ll get a 5$ voucher upon registration with this link, which is usable for orders of minimum 30$)
 
Testerkorea from 4900 Won onwards (around 5 US$) (shipping depends on weight)

asian cosmetics beauty PR Sample review Wishtrend

Review: Klairs Illuminating Supple Blemish Cream

29. April 2014
I’m back with a BB cream review ^_^ Yeeiii! This time it is about Klairs Illuminating Supple Blemish Cream, which was kindly send to me for reviewing purpose by Wishtrend. This BB cream is a all-in-one product, combining sunscreen, primer, foundation, and finishing powder…Sounds amazing! Moreover, the Klairs Illuminating Supple Blemish Cream allows to create a very natural look, and yet gives a good coverage. Let’s see what my thought are on this product:
 
The Korean brand Klairs is an eco-friendly cosmetic brand. Their products are not tested on animals, don’t contain parabens, alcohol or artificial coloring. All their products have a simple, but vintage kind of design which I personally love. The Klairs Illuminating Supple Blemish Cream comes therefore in a sleek tube. The colors are restricted to black and cream-colored. I especially love the words written below the product’s name saying “You look so wonderful just the way you are”. Who doesn’t want to start the day reading these words in front of the mirror while still halfway asleep?!:D
It has SPF 40 PA++ by using ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, isoamyl p-methoxycinnamate, titanium dioxide, Bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine and zinc oxide within the ingredients, which makes it great for daily use. It also contains Hyaluronic Acid and Aloe extracts for providing moisture. According to COSDNA the ingredients are not harmful (click >>here<<). One preservative (Methylisothiazolinone) is mentioned to potentially cause allergic reactions, which wasn’t the case while I used the product. The ingredients list and descripton are written on the cardboardbox in Korean and English as well.
  Klairs Illuminating Supple Blemish Cream
The 40 ml soft plastic tube has a plastic cap which is easily to unlock and lock again. The application is not complicated in any ways. Although, sometimes I prefer a pump instead of a normal tube. Nevertheless, the cream is neither to fluid, nor to solid, which makes it easy to get out the perfect amount of BB cream needed for your face. I’ve been using this BB cream for a long time now and I’m pleased to say, that I didn’t react to it in any negative way.
The description says that this BB cream is suitable for all skin types, so I did the simple  “BBcream on blotting paper” test in order to see how oily the product is. I don’t think that this test is representative on how good it will work on your skin, but it could give you an idea, if you do the same test of your favourite BB cream and compare the oily circle around the BB cream droplet. As you can see, it definitively shows up some oiliness around, but I’ve seen worse BB creams after 4 hours. This one is still “okay” in my eyes, so it might also be suited for oily skintypes. According to the description the Klairs Illuminating Supple Blemish Cream contains sebum controll powder, which will help to keep the facial oil production at bay.
How does the BB cream perform on skin finally? As I said, I’ve tried this BB cream for a while now and I love the finish. Below you can see the cream on my hand. On the bottom right side of the image you see how it looks blended in. I would say that it blends in perfectly! Yet, it does give the skin some kind of illumination. The color looks very natural and the BB cream doesn’t look like being a heavy or thick layer.
 
 It looks super natural on my skin and blends in perfectly with my natural skin color. It doesn’t have high coverage, but it gives your skin an airbrushed look. It reduces the appearance of redness (take a closer look at the skin around my nose and cheek. The differences might be small/not visible when you just take a quick look from afar, but I can ensure you that my skin looks perfect to go outside while only using this. It also has a semipowdery finish, doesn’t feel sticky and leaves the skin soft and smooth. It doesn’t make my (dry) skin look greasy at all, although it has a subtle glow…also, it did not flake around my nose the whole day, which I experience very rarely.
So far the Klairs Illuminating Supple Blemish Cream is my BB cream to go! It contains sunprotection, perfect for daily wear, gives you a natural look with an airbrushed effect and simply looks very nice on the skin. I can recommend you to try this product! I think it will convince you. If you are looking for coverage as main point, I wouldn’t go for this BB cream, though! Nevertheless, when paired up with the new Klairs Creamy & Natural Fit Concealer it might be also a nice daily BB cream for people with more troubled skin, looking for a light finish. You can get Klairs Illuminating Supple Blemish Cream from Wishtrend. If you use my invitation code 17939205 upon registration or use my invitation link >>here<< you’ll receive a 5 US$ voucher immediately. It retails normally at 24.99 US$  on Wishtrend and contains 40 ml. And you’ll find a more detailed product description on their web page, too.

Review: Etude House Play Color Nails

26. April 2014

// KBEAUTY / NAILS / AFFILIATe LINKS //

It’s been a while since Etude House released their Play Nail Polishes. They introduced so many different colors and styles, that is was quite difficult to decide which ones to pick. I chose two nail polishes at that time, them I received two other ones in a giveaway, so I decided to make a collective post for all four nail polishes at once.

The shades I’ll show you today are No. 55, 118, 132 and 52 from left to right. Each of them represent a different type/style of nail polish.
On the label of the cap you’ll find the numbers and a letter code. The letter code represents the type of nail polish, meaning M for matte, P for paint, SG for Syrup and Glitter and PS for Paint and Syrup. (That’s at least what I could conclude. Feel free to comment if it is not correct :D).
The design of the tiny bottles is cute and they have a perfect shape to be stored and collected. They beautified the bottles with a lace art ribbon on the upper rim. I personally loved the old shape of the nail polish bottles from Etude House more :D They were more princess-y *_*…
All in all the quality is quite descent for the price. But you need two layers of polish to receive a nice coverage. Another downside is, that they need quite a time to dry, especially if you use two coats of polish. Other than these points, these nail polishes are really nice. Etude House offers us a huge variance of different colors and styles and probably you’ll find every thing you’ll need. Unfortunately, the matte nail polishes were limited, but I hope that they will return for autumn :D…
No. 55
No. 118
No. 131
No. 52 
Which one is your favourite? Did you try any of Etude House’s Play nail polishes?
 
You can get these nail polishes almost in every online store which is selling Etude House products, for example:
 
Twofacemall for US$ 5.13 ( free shipping option) – They are currently on sale, normally they cost 18.28 US$
 
W2Beauty from US$ 4.64 onwards (free shipping option. You’ll get a 5$ voucher upon registration with this link, which is usable for orders of minimum 30$)
 
Testerkorea from 2000 Won onwards (around 2 US$) (shipping depends on weight)

asian cosmetics beauty review Wishtrend

Review: O’SUM Aloe Vera Soothing Mist

24. April 2014
Slowly the temperatures are getting warmer here in Germany and I’m really looking forward for summer these days. I also discovered that my skin is not as super dry as it is during cold winters anymore, but it slowly regenerates to be dry to normal skin. Time to get a little change in my skincare routine. First of all, I love using products containing Aloe Vera during the warmer seasons. I was overly happy when I received my first MeMeBox (review >>here<<) which contained O’SUM’s Aloe Vera Soothing Mist and it is now part of my skincare routine.
O'SUM Aloe Vera Soothing Mist

This is the first product I tried from O’SUM, an “organic skin care line based in the Jeju Islands” as it is written on the product. This travel friendly Aloe Vera Soothing mist comes in a green colored see-through plastic bottle with a spraying nozzle. The packaging is plain and sticks to a green color scheme, which fits to the image of being a natural/organic product. Other than that the design is simply clean and doesn’t have anything special about it (I personally do not mind a simple design, as long as it does not look cheap, and this is definitively not the case).
O'SUM Aloe Vera Soothing Mist
The fact that it is a mist makes it easy to apply. Furthermore the mist is super fine (a lot finer than the mist by Recipe by Nature Spray Essence >>review here<<). It has a cooling and thus refreshing feeling while applying. And it absorbs quickly into the skin without being sticky. The scent is typical for Aloe Vera products, but not too intense either. The ingredients list is short and the only potential irritant is Benzyl alcohol. My skin didn’t get any irritated since I’m using it. Here are the ingredients:
Water, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Inositol, Propanediol, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Decyl Glucoside, Limonene, Dehydroacetic Acid, Benzyl Alcohol, Hydrolyzed Jojoba Esters, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate
O'SUM Aloe Vera Soothing Mist
The description of the packaging is mainly in Korean. The front side has a brief English description though, which is better than nothing.
I integrated it into my beauty routine as a replacement for a toner and it works out nicely. You can also use it for refreshing yourself during the day and it is also usable on makeup and works as makeup fixer, too. Honestly speaking, I have nothing negative to say, except of, that you have to order in online in most countries. But don’t fear if you missed the MeMeBox and are longing to try this: You can also get it from Wishtrend. If you use my invitation cod17939205 upon registration or use my invitation link >>here<< you’ll receive a 5 US$ voucher immediately. The O’SUM Aloe Vera Soothing Mist costs 17.50 US$ on Wishtrend and contains 80 ml, which really go a long way. And you’ll find a more detailled product description etc. on their web page.

Unboxing: Get it Beauty Box by MeMeBox No. 8

23. April 2014
Here is the second Get it Beauty Box I ordered from MeMeBox. This time it is box No. 8. :)

What is MeMeBox? It is a monthly beauty box for mostly Korean makeup and skincare products. Unlike most beauty boxes it is not a monthly subscription box, instead you can order all boxes which are available and you want to order. They sell out quite fast, especially since they gained a lot of popularity in the blogger community. They stopped shipping internationally for some weeks, but know they are shipping to a lot of countries again, including Germany, which made me really happy :)
And here you can see what I received in my MeMeBox:
Flower Men Energy Factory Moist Boosting Sheet Mask- Hyaloronic Acid (25 g / US$ 4) – box contained fullsize product
This funny sheet mask comes in a fun packaging showing PSY’s face. You can use this as a real mask, too…for example if you want to give your friend’s a heart attack jumping out of nowhere while wearing this mask. I already tried it and it is a nicely moisturizing mask. Nothing exceptional, but nice if you love using sheet masks.
Hairich Vedacell Hair Program Shampoo (340 ml / US$ 23) – box contained product with 100 ml
This shampoo is free from sulfates, silicon and synthetic dyes and made with natural preservatives. I didn’t try this one yet, but I’m looking forward to do so, because I love testing new shampoos.
Tonymoly BCDation SPF 30 PA++ – Pink Beige (50 g / US$ 27) – box contained a 7 ml tube and a 1 ml pouch sample
I was really happy about this, because I saw it the other day online and I wanted to try it. This is a BB+CC foundation and could be thus a time saver for those using both CC creams and BB creams. I tried it already and a review will follow.
Heart Face Ultra Pore Care Sleeping Pack (100 ml / US$49) – box contained 20 ml jar
this Sleeping cream is supposed to moisturize your skin, minimize pores and control sebum production. I used it once and although I thought that it might be drying because of the pore care effect my skin felt smooth the next day. I will continue using it and write a detailed review on this.
 
Secret Key Snow White Cream (50 g / US$ 21) – box contained fullsize product
I wanted to try this cream for a year now and here it is. I’m so happy about it. this is a brightening cream, which is free from mineral oils, benzophenones, phenoxyethanbol and artificial pigments. It contains Niacinamide. I used it daily since I received it and I like it. There will be a review soon, too.
MAX Clinic Caviar Massage Oil Form Cleanser (110 g / US$ 73) – box contained fullsize product
So, just by chance my foam cleanser was empty and this one arrived to replace it. It is already integrated in my nightly routine. It is made from caviar oil and is supposed to clean your face from make-up and dirt.

I’m happy with this box. I use both the fullsize product daily and I’ve used the other products as well (except of the shampoo) and I’m absolutely happy. I ordered some more boxes and I cannot wait for them to arrive.

These regular boxes cost US$ 23 and US$ 6.99 for standard shipping but they offer a lot of different other boxes recently, so I would recommend you to definitively check out their web page: www.memebox.com/

What do you think about the box? Any product you like most?

Review: Wish Formula Panda Eye Essence Mask

18. April 2014
I love using eye masks, when I feel my eyes are tired and I recognise puffiness around my eye area. The cooling sensation directly makes me feel relieved. Since there are a lot of those eye masks, I’m currently trying several different ones. That is how I stumbled upon Wish Formula Panda Eye Essence Mask from Wishtrend.

This eye mask comes in a black sachet with a cute panda bear on it smiling at you :D. The ingredients are written on the front directly, and in English, too. Each sachet contains two eye masks, one for each eye.
Here are the ingredients of the eye mask:
water, ascorbic acid, saccharomyces, Viscum Album (Mistletoe) Ferment extract, butylene glycol, saccharomyces/Imperata cylindrica Root ferment extract, sodium lactate, lactobacillus/soybean ferment extract, black strap powder, arbutin, 1,2-Hexanediol, bacillus ferment, centella asiatica extract, aspergillus/Saccharomyces/Glycyrrhiza uralensis root extract ferment filtrate, PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oil, xanthan gum, arginine, tocopherylacetate, backhousia citriodora leaf oil, adenosine, honey, phenoxyethanol
The ingredients are really nice and no harmful ingredients are contained. Yeast fermented extracts are one of the main ingredients. Also, it contains Vitamin C and vitamin E. You can check the ingredients on COSDNA >>here<<. On the back side of the sachet the instructions are written on Korean only, but the image of how to wear the eye mask are sufficient enough for using the mask.
This eye mask is supposed to hydrate the skin around your eyes and provide nourishment with different extract in order to prevent the skin from aging effects. As soon as you open the package you should use it right away, so that the vitamin C does not oxidise. The color of the essence is yellow. The eye mask sheets are not separated by an additional plastic foil but stick together. The sachet also contains a quite amount of leftover essence. I used the leftover essence by its own the days after using the mask itself.
The eye mask delivers a proper amount of moisture for the skin around the eye area. Also, it gives you a cooling sensation, especially if you keep it in the refrigerator before. After using it my eyes look less tired and puffy. Since the ingredients are really nice and the effects of both vitamin C and yeast fermented extract are known, I’m sure, that these eye masks will show some kind of longterm effect (see my review on OST Vitamin C serum if you are interested >>here<<). I really want to try more of these eye masks. You can get these masks from Wishtrend for 2.99 US$ each or in a box with 10 sachets for 18.99 US$. If you are not yet registered on Wishtrend you can use the promo code 17939205 or my invite link to receive a 5 US$ coupon before making your first purchase.

 

 
As you can see I’ve changed my rating system. I’m using a scale of 10 points for the categories design, application, ingredients, hygiene, effect and price. The average points build total rating. Hope you like this way better than it was before :)

Review: Holika Holika Love Fantasy Blush No.01

2. April 2014

// KBEAUTY / MAKE UP / AFFILIATe LINK //

I didn’t review any blushes for quite a while. Time to change this again :D Here is my review for Holika Holika Love Fantasy Blush No.01. This bush is available in 5 shades in total. By the way, I’m sorry for the lack of posts recently, but I’m working on my thesis at the moment. I’ll be done in about a week, so stay with me, I have some really nice upcoming reviews (^_^).

Somehow, I rarely buy any cosmetics from Holika Holika. Although they have quite a couple of things I would love to buy. This blush comes in a small metal jar. First of all, the packaging is beautiful and super girly. The tiny jar is so cute, you have to fall in love with it, when you are a fan of pink and ornamented items XD.

The jar is sealed with a sticker with the color of the blush written on it. This one is a pink blush.
When you open it, you’ll discover that a cute puff with an attached bow is included inside the blush.

The puff is super soft and feels smooth on the skin. The actual blush is separated by a clear plastic foil from the puff.

As you can see, the blush has a nice ornament imprinted on it. It consists of three colors. All of them are different pink shades.

Below you can see a swatch on my arm. As you can see it is not pigmented. I applied it with the included puff and with a brush, but there is not much difference. the color stays very subtle.

Apart from the lack of pigmentation (which could be a pro for those who want a soft blush effect), another downside for me is the metal jar. The lid doesn’t close properly anymore after the sealing sticker was removed. Normally I would say that it has the perfect size for travelling, but in this case, since the lid keeps opening, I wouldn’t dare to put it inside my bag…
You can get these blushes from Holika Holika here:

Review: Recipe by Nature Spray Essence Water

25. March 2014
This product was featured in my MeMeBox No. 6, which I showed previously (click >>here<<). It is a Spray Water Essence from the brand Recipe by Nature. You don’t find a lot of information about this brand on the Internet and honestly I only could find the products sold on MeMeBox shop (English) and on the brands homepage www.recipecosmetics.com, which is in Korean only. Nevertheless, this was the first product out of the box that I tried because I really love the packaging design.
Recipe by Nature Spray Essence Water
As you can see the packaging design is very clean. The card box has a sketch of the spray bottle on it and the colors are yellow and white. The box only comes with Korean description unfortunately, except on the front part (click the image below to enlarge if you can read Korean and are interested) .
Recipe by Nature Spray Essence Water
On the homepage of Recipe by Nature I gave Google translate a try in order to translate the ingredients at least:
 
Water, Macadamia Seed Oil, PEG / PEG -17 / 6 copolymer, jojoba seed oil, meadowfoam seed oil, big sassi oil, bergamot fruit oil, olive oil, lemon peel oil, wanggyul peel oil, orange peel oil, Atlas Cedar bark oil, lavender oil, Scented geranium flower oil, lavender water, rosemary ipsu, kkotsu chamomile, peppermint leaves, flower oil, evening primrose oil, lime oil, basil oil, barley jissi oil, Brazil nut seed oil, sweet almond oil, orange oil, ylang ylang flower oil, sunflower seed oil, Laban Dean oil, horse chestnut extract, fennel fruit octagonal / seed oil, jasmine oil, rose flower oil, wormwood extract, galvanic num resin oil, Western cheukbaek leaf extract, argan tree kernel oil, orange flower oil, balsam peru oil, glycerin (palm extraction), castor oil, PEG-60 Hydro Painted jeniyi, Butylene Glycol, rengeul pentyl glycol, squalane, arginine, by Osaka Ride sword -1, glyceryl rilka Frill rate, tocopheryl acetate, resins, balsams kopayi bar, Carbomer, ethanol, phenoxyethanol, benzyl alcohol, acetic acid dehydro
It is a water spray containing additionally to water a bunch of different natural oils as you can see in the ingredient list. It is 8-free, which means that it doesn’t contain 8 unwanted ingredients like mineral oil, synthetic fragrances synthetic dye, triethanolamine or parabens. The front of the packaging also says, that it has a water phase of 91.6 %, containing celtic water and glacial water and 4 % natural origin skin conditioning agents. The other percentages must be from the PEGs and alcohol derivates. It contains all in all 6 kinds of Charabot’s natural essential oils and 12 kinds of natural ingredients (Charabot is a company providing essential oils for the perfumes) . If you go to the product page >>here<< you will find some illustrations on the ingredients. Since it also contains oil you need to shake it before use, you’ll see how the two layers will separate and form tiny droplets within the bottle.
Recipe by Nature Spray Essence Water
The actual spray bottle looks like the sketch on the packaging.
Recipe by Nature Spray Essence Water
The bottle is made of sturdy see-through plastic, so you can say how much is left in the bottle. The cap is transparent and protects the spraying nozzle. When you use it it provides your face/skin with a pleasant drizzle. The spaying plus the light citrus/herbal scent  makes it feel very refreshing while using. I used this as a toner as first step of my routine and it goes well with other products. It doesn’t make the skin look greasy at all and it is nicely moisturizing.
Recipe by Nature Spray Essence Water
All in all, this is a nice toner and mist. I will surely be sad when I used this up, especially since MeMeBox stops shipping internationally at the end of this month. also, I’d love to try other products from this brand, but I couldn’t find any other shop selling these.
You can buy the 140 ml bottle at www.memebox.com for US$ 9.00 (additional shipping costs will occur).

Review: Innisfree Color Glow Lipstick Romantic Autumn Rose

19. March 2014
A couple of days ago I received a beautiful parcel from Stella from http://www.stylebystella.net/ with a huge pile of goodies I received  because of winning her Valentine’s Giveaway. I was so happy about it, and I was even happier when I saw all the nice cosmetic brands she put together for this giveaway. One of the items was Innisfree’s Color Glow Lipstick in the shade “Romantic Autumn Rose” (No.3). In case you read my blog before, you may have stumbled across my review for Innisfree’s Color Glow Lipstick before. Back then I reviewed the shade “Plum Burgundy” (Click >>here<< for the review). I really do love this lipstick, and this is why I was really happy about especially this product within my winnings.

Apart from loving this lipstick even before, I was also happy that I received a pink shade, because I rarely buy pink products and it gives some more versatility to my lipstick collection :D The packaging is typically for Innisfree very clean and unspectacular, but I like it nevertheless.

The paper card box unfortunately doesn’t contain any English translation, only the symbols on one side of the box a re explained.


The lipstick contains 3.5 g. It has some kind of metal support around the lipstick, probably in order to prevent that it breaks off easily. 

 

The color of the lipstick bar is a pretty rose-pink shade and I think that the name “Romantic Autumn Rose” is a perfect choice for describing the shade. The lipstick glides smoothly and feels very creamy. It does leave a descent amount of pigmentation on my lips, although my lips are naturally darker than the color of the lipstick. I don’t need to use concealer for seeing a visible pink shade on my lips. That’s great!
 
 
 
Nevertheless, I discovered with this shade, that it tends to accentuate dry flakes on the lips. The burgundy shade didn’t leave that impression, probably because the shade is darker, but with this pink shade I have to exfoliate my lips before. Other than this I love this lipstick as much as I loved the burgundy shade. It has a natural color and it is suited for upcoming spring as well, although this lipstick range was designed for last years autumn. The staying power is similar to most lipsticks, so you’ll have to reapply as soon as you eat or drinkHere is a comparison between the two shades:
 
 
All in all I love the Innisfree Color Glow Line and I recommend it to everybody looking for a creamy and moisturizing lipstick. Nevertheless you should keep in mind that the staying power is not comparable to the staying power of lip tints for example. And that the brighter colors may accentuate dry parts of your lips.
 
You can buy this lipstick at:
 
W2Beauty for US$ 15.92 (free shipping option. You’ll get a 5$ voucher upon registration with this link, which is usable for orders of minimum 30$)

Review: Innisfree Moisture Firming Essence

16. March 2014
I’m still trying to decrease the amount of samples I’m hoarding and I fell I’m doing some progress XD Today’s post will be about Innisfree Moisture Firming Essence, based on a couple of samples I found from it ;)

The description on Innisfree’s global webpage says:
 
“A lifting-up essence that fills the skin with moisture and firmness for supple and plump skin.”
 
“It is enriched with Cactus and Green Complex from jeju island. Moisture firming helps improve moisture balance and firmness.”
You can find the ingredients >>here<< on COSDNA. Except of Cetearyl Alcohol, the ingredient list seems to be quite fine.
The design of the sample package is simple, as you expect from Innisfree to be. The full size comes in a bottle with a similar design. The essence has a gel like consistency and smells of flowers. The scent fades away quickly. If you apply it, it feels sticky on the face, but after a while the stickiness is gone. It absorbs into the skin after some minutes and leaves the skin with a moisturized and firm feeling.
This is a nice essence, the only downside is, that the firming effect it gives to the face at the beginning, fades away after a time. But all in all it is a solid product and gives some nice temporarily effects.
You can buy Innisfree Moisture firming Essence at:
