Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse - is this the best French pharmacie dry oil?

I have been wanting to try out this  Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse for a long long time. This dry oil has such a cult following and I want to know why people raves about this.

Since there was a sale on our local online shop, plus it was free shipping  - despite it buying against my will, I decided to finally bite the bullet and and purchase it. I mean, you can't never really argue if it's on sale plus free shipping.

I was peppy and when I finally received it, I was as happy as a lark. This French  pharmacie brand is just so gorgeous and I must say that this is one of the best multi purpose dry oil out there.





So what is the Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse?

From their website:

The iconic dry oil Huile Prodigieuse®, No. 1* in the Oils category in French pharmacies, nourishes, repairs and beautifies the face, body and hair. In 2017, this multi-purpose dry oil has been enriched with highly nourishing Tsubaki oil. Now even more innovative, it is anti-oxidant, has a "shield" effect against pollution** and reduces the appearance of stretch marks. Its addictive scent and unique silicone-free dry oil texture promise a truly Prodigious experience.


-- 

So yes, this is a dry oil.  A multi - purpose dry oil used for the face body and hair, even for stretch marks! It is rich in so many great oils - macadamia seed oil, sweet almond oil, hazel seed oil, camellia seed oil and the likes. It also has tocopherol or vitamin E. I mean, me being me, a lover of anything multi - purpose, I straight away jumped into the bandwagon. Because firstly, it cannot only be use to one thing but there are other two more. With the price tag of $24.44/18.50 GBP, this is definitely a good steal. 


--

Packaging:

The Nuxe Dry oil comes in a glass packaging, it is spray type which makes it easier to take the product out and spread it over to your body. It has a gold cap that makes it more luxurious looking - I really do think packaging plays a big role to attract a customer/consumer to buy a certain product or item. It comes in a 50 ML and 100 ML. I have the latter.

--

How I use it.

Most of the time use it on my face and it really gives a nice glow after. The oil is so lightweight you won't even know it's there.. The left over oil on my hands I slather on my arms and on my hair. I mean, I want to make sure that I' am using it the best way possible without wasting any product. I sometimes use it as a perfume oil (because it has a gorgeous scent more like a perfume) or spray it at the back of my ears and spray whatever perfume I' am using that day - the oil makes the perfumes scent stay longer plus it's like I have layered two perfumes in that way. 

The best thing about this oil plus me with an oily combination skin is this makes my skin less oily. I mean talk about an oil that makes your skin less oily the day after. I usually wake up with really oily skin in the morning, but with this on the night before, I wake up with less oily skin and I' am so happy about it.




--

I' am seriously obsessed with this product and I can totally recommend this to add in your skin care stash. 

Check out this baby in Beauty Manila - or if you are like me, make sure you wait on their sales so you can snag this for less.

Quest - Journey to Glowing Skin

These days, we're always on the hunt for that glorious glowing skin.

In that aspect we tend to buy numerous skin care products that will provide that teeny sheen or glow on our skin. The glow-y skin we have, the youthful and fresh we look.

I have been on the hunt for that skin care product that will provide me the full package. The brightening, anti ageing and the repairing aspect as well.


--

Quest Glow Nectar has been a big help when it comes to the repairing and brightening aspect. But before we go to details, let me tell you a little something about Quest.

Quest is a brightening and repairing serum. This is a product made from Thailand. Thai are well known for their quest to glow-y and brighter skin.

This product is specifically made to target tired and lackluster skin which s a result from sun damage, stressful lifestyle.

Quest Glow Nectar is infused with innovative Celtosome Crithmum Maritimum ST (helps in skin lightening and wound healing properties), marine EPS white and botanical extracts to revitalise and repair and even out skin tone.

Active Ingredients:

- Celtosome Crithmum Maritimum ST
-  Marine EPS White (effectively reduce dark spots - caused by UV damages & pollution , allowing skin to radiate its glow.

Quest Glow Nectar is free from:

- Alcohol denat
- Silicones
- Synthetic colorants
- Mineral oil
- Synthetic fragrances
- cruelty free


--



So I have been using Quest Glow Nectar for almost 2 months and I tell you I' am about to actually finish the bottle. I have an eighth left on the current bottle that I have.

I use it everyday, morning and night. This serum is more like of an essence. It doesn't have the oily feel or the thick feel of a serum. It is very light and glides on the skin really well. Also goes well with other products.

I noticed visible results from using this. My pimple marks which turns dark has definitely lighten. Some dark spots and dark discoloration has eventually lighten too. My skin always seems to be so glow-y. And I just love it.

I know that if I would use this longer all the dark spots and the dark pimple marks will definitely go away. I just can't seej to fathom that I' am almost done with my bottle.


The product is 20 ml encased in a glass container with a dropper. You only need 1 to 2 drops with moisturiser on a clean face. And use this in conjunction with sunscreen.

 Given the chance to repurchase, I would definitely do for sure. And I can 100% recommend this. Suitable for any type of skin most especially for Asian skin like mine :)



This part of my face has a slight discoloration, maybe because of using make up and not much of skin care. This has definitely lightened and that pimple mark is way lighter after using Quest Glow Nectar.

Apara Thailand Essence Review




As we age, our skin age with us too.

Our skin lose hydration, we get wrinkles, dark spots, fine lines and uneven skin tone.
And because of this we tend to look for products that will help prevent our skin from all these bad things.

I, to be honest has a minimal skin care routine before. But getting more deeper into skin care last year, I started my 7 skin care routine, even more than that sometimes. And in this routine I included essence. I was totally unsure of where and when to insert essence in my routine, but I eventually figured it out.

So what is an essence?

Based on my research, essence is a concentrated formula that specifically target wrinkles, fine lines, and dull and uneven skin tones. It is lighter than serum but mostly has watery consistency with viscous consistency.

Essences are meant to hydrate and brighten the skin. And because of its watery consistency it's almost good for all skin types.


When do you insert essence in your routine?

As for me, I use it after toning and before serum. I even sometimes layer my essence on a maximum of two, putting the lightest consistency first. Essences nowadays are in all shape and kind.

The current essence that is part of my skincare routine is the Apara The First Care Para Activating essence.

This is a product of Thailand and almost all ingredients are found in Thailand too, their main ingredient is found in a Para Tree (rubber tree) which can be found in some parts of South East Asia, most speially in Thailand.

I have been using this essence for almost two months now. This is a milky type of essence. Very watery and no viscosity at all. This isn't as cooling as the other essences but is really so hydrating and moisturising. My skin always feels so nice every time I use it.

I love how my skin has that tiny hint of glow every after use. I didn't have any break out or sensitivity from using this product. This just gives that amazing rehabilitation that your skin needs after being out and about all day.

Let's talk about the packaging.

The packaging comes in a white frosted plastic bottle. There is no pump but you can still easily take the product out when needed. The design of the print was influenced when a bark of the rubber tree is being opened and the sapwood inside with its lining became part of the design of the bottle.



Notable ingredients:

1. Hamamelis virginiana extract - commonly known as witch hazel, has anti inflammatory and anti viral properties that can be used to treat varieties of conditions

2. Chamomila recutita extract - including antiseptic, antispasmodic, antipyretic, antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-allergenic activity.

3. Sodium pca - primarily functions as a humectant moisturizer in skin

4. Centella asiatic extract - anti ageing properties and improved elasticity of the skin

5. Cynara sodymus leaf extract - super rich in anti oxidant that heps improves over all skin health

6. Niacinamide - help visibly improve the appearance of enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, fine lines and wrinkles, dullness, and a weakened surface


What a great line up of ingredients, all gathered up to create a gorgeous looking skin.


Overall, this product has been well received by my skin and I feel like I can't live without this anymore.

Thank you Apara Thailand and Frank for giving me the opportunity to try out this product.

PR Gifted. All views and opinion are 100% my own.

Review of Solved Skin Care Cleansing Duo

Cleansing has always been a big part of my skin care routine.

It started when I was way way young. I was always a clean freak - most especially when it comes to my body and my face.

I have always been a fan of double cleansing. I use to have my trusty Etude House Lip and Eye Remover (way back) to start off melting my make up, then I use a foam cleanser (Ponds - an older version of this facial foam wash) to finally wash off and cleanse my face.
---

Moving forward to today - 2019, a lot of products and brands has surfaced especially now that K-beauty is in boom.

One of these brands is Solved Skin Care  who kindly sent me their cleansing duo to try out in exchange for an honest review.

The package came in with their two main products which is the Coconut Oil Cleansing Pad 
and the Coconut Water Cleansing Foam .



--

Let me talk you through each products and let me start it off with the first step which is the Coconut oil Cleansing pad. This is actually a first one for me. I know of facial wipes but I never heard of a cleansing pad that is also an exfoliating pad. I have tried an exfoliating pad before but purely used for exfoliation.

--

So what is the Solved Coconut oil cleansing pad?

- this cleansing pad is a double sided pad that is 100 %
- it is gentle on your face but tough on make up, unwanted dirt and fine dust
- one pad is enough to cleanse, exfoliate and purify your face  leaving it soft and hydrated. \
-  one pad, that's all. Problem SOLVED.

--

What are the ingredients in this cleansing pad?
- Cocos Nucifera (coconut) oil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, PEG - 20 Glyceryl Triisostearate

--

How I use it.

- On a bare or with full make up on face, I gently wipe through this cleansing pad on my face. I make sure that I don't rub hard as this is also an exfoliating pad. The more you rub the more chances that you will over exfoliate your face. Although it isn't that bad as this is filled with virgin coconut oil that just helps the pad glide through smoothly to your skin.

--

My feedback.

- I love this cleansing pad first off because it is filled with 100% virgin coconut oil that has so much benefits on the skin. It is rich in antioxidant and has moisturizing properties to help achieve a lighter and more even skin tone. It also helps the body get rid of dead skin and assists in regenerating new and healthier skin cells.

- It is so effective in removing make up, although, it didn't remove all of my water proof mascara. Because of the thickness of the Virgin Coconut Oil it also has the tendency to cloud your eyes. So I always leave the eye make up last to remove and then I can just rinse if off with the cleanser. 

- Since this is also an exfoliating pad, it does help my skin remove all the dead skin cells. 
Not entirely sure about black heads and white heads removal although they never claimed that it will remove it. 

- This cleansing pad really moisturised my skin, again because of the virgin coconut oil. I don't have much qualm about this product aside from it not entirely removing my water proof mascara and clouding my eyes which is quite common when you use any product that involves an oil ingredient.

- This cleansing pad can also be used every day if you don't have sensitive skin. I mostly use this when I have a full make up on although can be used bare faced but I find it more practical using it with too much make up. Solved cleansing pad can also be used on the neck as the neck also gets too many dirt and grime on a daily basis. The pad is quite big that one side is enough to clean the whole face and the other side for the neck.





---

After my first cleanse I head on to my second cleanse which I do mostly with a cleansing foam - and now comes in the Solved Coconut Water Cleansing Foam.

- Again this is another first for me because I never had any cleansing foam that has a coconut water ingredient in it. We all know that coconut is a tree of life and this tree starting from the roots to its fruit is just as useful. 

--  

So what is the Solved Coconut Water Cleansing Foam?

- this product is a cleansing foam used as a second cleanse or just a cleanser on its own. This is made up 75% coconut water which helps a lot in hydrating your skin and if you are a drinker of coconut water, we all know that this has such good benefits in our body too promoting not only enough hydration but also helps removes toxins out of the body. This also helps cleanse the kidneys.

--

What are the ingredientsin this cleansing foam?

-Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Water 75%, Potassium Cocoyl glycinate, Glycerin, Acrylates Copolymer, Coco Betaine, hydroxyacetophenone, 1-2 Hexanediol, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Butylene glycoil, Propanediol, Argenine, Water, Disodium Edta

--

How I use it?

- I use this cleansing oil as my second cleanse after I use the cleansing pad. This easily washes off the left over oil that is left behind by the cleansing pad. It gives you that clean feeling after using this cleansing foam.

--

My feedback.

- I love how gentle this Coconut water cleansing foam. I mean I wouldn't expect any less as it has 75% coconut water as ingredient. It's super nice on the skin not harsh at all and it has that subdued scent of coconut water on it - which keeps reminding me of how I love the coconut water juice.

- The packaging is in a clear plastic bottle and product is super visible as it's water like. It comes with a pump and when you try to get some product out it turns out into a nice white foam.

- I slather the foam cleanser to my face and it really feels so nice to the skin. After rinsing it off, my skin feels so smooth and clean but not dry. I love how great this product is and I can totally recommend this 100%. 

--
The cleansing pad and the cleansing foam duo is indeed an amazing combo for double cleansing and I couldn't recommend this more enough as I just love it so much.

--

Have you tried these duo before? If not, what are you waiting for? Check out Solved Skin Care

APARA Relaxing Cleansing Oil | REVIEW






I only discovered cleansing oil last year 2018 when I luckily won the travel size MAC Cleanse Off Oil. I even used a cotton to remove the make up only thinking that it was meant to be placed on dry hands and rub it off  on your skin/face.


When I found out about cleansing oil, my thoughts about cleansing products have changed. I always focused on foam cleansers and gel cleansers. They were my sort of cleansers. I didn't know that there were a variety. I mean I do know, it's just that I was already invested in what I was currently using compare to changing to a new one again.

Around mid year last year I discovered about Thai Skin care. That led me to stalking so many Thai brands and I was so into them. I discovered this brand so called Apara Thailand. I checked out their company, read about them and translated their story on google translate as everything was in Thai. I somehow understood their story in those translation and fell in love with the brand. I spoke to their Founder and CEO Frank and we agreed on a collaboration.

Early January I finally received the most awaited parcel. I was only expecting the cleansing oil but to my surprise they also sent me the Apara essence - I felt so jovial about it!

---

A little story about Apara.

Apara is a Thai skin care brand made and developed in Thailand. The main ingredients are sourced from rubber seeds which is commonly found in Thailand. The rubber seed oil are rich in anti oxidant and has good benefits on the skin. Apara has the philosophy of creating this product that obtains the ingredient from Thailand, using the availability found in their country instead of sourcing it from abroad and also the fact that these rubber seed oil are being sourced out from their country, created outside of their country and bring it back to Thailand to sell it for Thai people's consumption. Hence the reason why Apara created this amazing product, created in Thailand and to be sold to Thai people too.

---

Moving on to February, after more than a month of trial and testing the cleansing oil, I finally made my conclusion about  this product.

Packaging (Box):

The box is two toned. Three quarters is printed in dark green colour and a quarter of it which is below the green part is printed in white colour which includes the brand name and the relevant information about the products. The back part has the information about how the product is being used, the ingredients list, the warning sign (if product didn't work out) and the manufacturing & distribution sign. These are both written in English and Thai which is such a good thing for non Thai readers.

Product Packaging (Container):

The product is in a nice chic muted green container. It has a pump which makes it easy to get the product out.Very hygienic too.

Product Information:

Apara Cleansing Oil is a gentle oil in emulsion. It makes your skin moist, soft and deep clear. This is a mild cleansing oil that effectively removes make up leaving the skin relaxed and moisturised.

Product texture:

Apara cleansing oil is a clear type of oil and is very light weight.

Feedback:

- I have used this cleansing oil for more than a month and all I can say is it's done it's job so far.

- It removes heavy make up and is easy on bare skin face with skin care left over.

- This cleansing oil is very relaxing when I slather it on my face. The scent is close to nothing but reminds me of the oil that they use in a spa.

- The texture is very clear and is really light weight too compare to other cleansing oils that I've tried.

- The packaging is very aesthetically pleasing.

- The price point is right.

- The product emulsifys upon contact with water.

- All in all this cleansing oil is an amazing cleansing oil. Made my skin moisurised and relaxed after use. Didn't gave me any break outs nor clogged my pores. And I can safely say that I recommend this product for you to try and enjoy the experience of cleansing :)

---

Apara Cleansing Oil retails for 790 Baht/$26/20 GBP

---

Have you ever tried this cleansing oil before? What's your favourite cleansing oil so far?

COSCODI Pick Me Up Tone - Up Cushion

Hi everyone!

I" am back with another review for you guys and this time is an actual first for me and in this blog.

Well, I say first because I have never used this type of product before.  I mean I' am the kind of person that just doesn't fall with what's hyped up.

Plus the fact that I have always been a lover of liquid foundation.

The product that I am talking about is the *Coscodi Pick Me Up Tone - Up Cushion, this is my first ever cushion. I know a lot of #kbeautylovers converted to cushions a long time ago. While for me, it takes quite a while to make me love something especially if I am so not into it.




Anyway, heading on to the main topic for today, Coscodi a brand well known for its masks has come up with a new product and it's their cushion foundation. They have four cushion in their brand namely:

- Coscodi Mint Air Cushion
- Coscodi Pick Me Up Tone Up Cushion
- Illumination Shining Snow BB Cushion
- Illumination Shining Glittering Light Cool Cushion

They have kindly gifted me the Pick Me Up Tone Up Cushion which comes in a really pretty packaging. Rose gold and has a nice leaf print on top. The rest of the packaging is blush pink.

This cushion is compose of dual side. One of which is the white colour for brightening. The pink side is with calamine powder.

The concept of this product is:
- to make your skin looks brighter
-  U/V protection with SPF 50+ PA+++
- Whitening (as this product has Glutathione)
- Anti - ageing
- triple functional cosmetic

I' am already sold on the overall presentation (well done on that Coscodi) Applause... Applause..

Going on to the effectiveness of the product, I must say that it did brighten my skin. I love mixing both but I love the look of the pink side as it makes my face more pinkier (making it looking radiant and healthy).





The white side makes my skin looks really bright and definitely glowy too. I love that this cushion is almost near the look of my skin but just a little polished.

It has covered the slight redness on the crevices of my nose. Covered a few of my blemishes and little discoloration except for the pimple mark that I have (totally understandable as it's still quite too dark to be covered).

This tone up cushion did cover a few of my blemishes but this definitely is not a full coverage. I think the goal of this cushion is more like a "no make up" make up look.

This could have been amazing too if  Coscodi created a wider range of shade for this tone up cushion.

This shade is definitely for fairer skin tone. My skin tone is  fair to medium and I try making this cushion as a base and I apply a darker concealer on top of it, blending it and creating a much more near complexion to mine. So far this being light is my only qualm about this product.

Everything about this tone up cushion is so on fleek that the cons are not even that noticeable.

I have been enjoying using this cushion everyday for the last week and I am loving it.

--

If you want to know more about this cushion and the other cushions, they've all been linked up there.

This product has been gifted by brand but all opinions are 100% my own.

I hope this has been a good read for you guys and I hope you get to try this cushion too.

Serum to Serum - The Skin House & Coxir Serums

Hi everyone!

Back again with another review for you guys. Oh wait! Not just one review but two reviews to be exact.

Will be telling you about these two serums from sister company The Skinhouse and Coxir. Both are Korean brands but focuses on different type of ingredients and different targets and focus when it comes to your skin.



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Serum plays a major role in one’s skin care routine. It’s a Holy Grail. A necessity to complete your skin care routine and to achieve that glass, firm and wrinkle free skin. 

______________________________________________________

THE SKINHOUSE ROSE HEAVEN SERUM

The *Skinhouse Rose Heaven Serum is a 2 in one type of serum that helps and or act as an anti ageing product at the same time as a whitening product. It is enriched with highly concentrated rose ingredients that aids in leveling out one’s skin tone and smoothing out the rough textures on your skin. 





I was lucky to have been gifted by Skinhouse this amazing product. I am a serum girl & I believe in its powers. Serum is important for me as I may not be at that age where I totally need it but early prevention as they say is better than cure. I know when I reach 40 in years time that I will tap my back & say “Good job for using serums in your early days Kathy”.

Top 3 Ingredients from the nature 


1. Rose hip oil
2. Rose
3. Camucamu (from the Amazon)

Feedback:


I have used this serum for more than 2 weeks & I seriously have no complains. The texture is just right. It’s light weight but not watery. It is a gel type serum but not clear, it has that nice viscosity on it - just how I like w/ my serum. The product is nicely packaged in a glass container & has a pump w/c makes it easier to take the product out plus very hygienic too. 


This is in 50 ml & this will definitely go a long way. All you need is one pump & you are good to go. 


Effectivity:


- Since using this serum I felt that my skin has improved. No harsh reactions, purging or anything of that sort. It’s good on its own or under make up.


- No horrible scent but just a muted rose-y scent. I love the feel of it on my skin. It’s like silk touching my skin, making it supple and smooth. 

- For the whitening side, my skin looks brighter but I guess this requires a longer term use to see the best effect same as on the anti ageing side but over all this is such an amazing serum that is true to its claims.

____________________________________________________________


COXIR INTENSIVE EGF PEPTIDE

Along with the Rose Heaven Serum, I was also gifted the *Coxir Intensive EGF Peptide Serum






This brand was only launched last year. They are a subsidiary of  Noksibcho which was around and inbusiness for 30 years. This serum is way different to the rose serum from The Skinhouse.

This brand goes on the slogan of GOOD. SIMPLE. TRENDY. which goes along with their product.

The packaging of this serum is in a plastic with pump container. It's a transparent bottle and the product inside is easily visible. It has a pump which makes it easy to get the product out and only giving you minimal amount to use.

The serum is in gel texture, very clear and is easily absorbed by the skin. I used this for two weeks and so far no irritations or any harsh reactions. I feel that my skin has been really loving this because it's never been this cooperative when starting out a new product to try out.

The Coxir Intensive EGF Peptide Serum has three main ingredients beneficial in nourishing one's skin.

1. EGFA polypeptide (or molecular chain of amino acids) developed to speed wound recovery, EGF stimulates skin growth at the cellular level. It may also increase collagen production.

2. Peptideoften act as hormones and thus constitute biologic messengers carrying information from one tissue through the blood to another. It is known in reducing fine lines.

3. Collagen - one of the most well-known benefits of collagen is its ability to promote glowing, vibrant skin. This essential protein provides elasticity to the skin, helping it to appear more youthful and healthy.

These three ingredients are so beneficial if you want a youthful glowing skin - especially if you are on that age that you need to put into bay your fine lines and wrinkles. These three act a major role in defense against anti ageing (no wonder my skin has been loving this serum).

I can't say much but just "amazing" on this serum. I feel like this has done me good. My skin looks brighter and yes, firmer too! This product has definitely achieved it's claims for me.

Would I recommend these two serums? Definitely yes!

Votre Vu Peau Equilibree Balancing Serum | REVIEW

How are you all doing lovelies!


I hope today is an awesome one for you - well perhaps this review of the *Votre Vu Peau Equilibree Balancing Serum will brighten up your day. Also, you might want to add this on your list of serums (wink)




I’ am finally reviewing this *Votre Vu Peau Equilibree Balancing Serum today. When asked what product I would love to try out from any of their range, I thought, “I better get that serum”!.

Serum for me is so important, it is one of my HG when it comes to skin care. I can just live with it on its own if I may. It has the capacity of a moisturiser & anti ageing in one.

So what is the *Votre Vu Peau Èquilibrée Balancing Serum?


This serum is power packed, skin renewing gel serum loaded w/ a mix of gentle AHA’s & key botanical elements to help skin & improve the appearance of fine lines & uneven skin tone. It also aids in clearing up congested pores.


Feedback:


I have used this serum for two weeks and I was just so amazed of how smooth my skin turned out. 

My pores were definitely clear. Can’t say much if it helped decreased my fine lines but I know it somehow froze it. It's not as prominent as it was before so the power of this serum has done its magic.

I am not on that age were fine lines are a bit more prominent. But as we all know using anti ageing products earlier than later like using this serum will help decrease formation of fine lines in the future. 



Also, my skin was all good whilst using this. No irritation & or any inflammation. I love how light it is & is wearable under make up or on its own. I noticed less oil formation on my skin & I just love how luxury looking everything is. From the packaging to the product itself. 

I find this serum effective - making my face a little plumper. That faintest scent of luxury really makes me feel so relaxed when I apply it on my face. 


It gives my skin a dewy look. Also I can totally say that I will be able to achieve the 4 step French Facial w/ this product in hand (hopefully I’ll get to try out the cleanser and toner of this line to achieve that glorious glow-y skin).


Votre Vu Peau Èquilibrée Balancing Serum is cruelty free & doesn’t use bad ingredients. This retails for $78.00 (all worth the penny though). A little goes a long way & this is good for troubled/oily skin.

Votre Vu Peau Équilibrée Créme - Is the Hype for real?

What is your passport to an awesome skin?

Hey lovelies! 

Today, I am excited to review this awesome brand that I have been wanting to try for a long long time!

This admiration about this brand started way back early last year when a friend mentioned to me this luxury brand. That time my number of followers were so little I was so shy to approach Votre Vu.

This time around, I feel more confident and I thought I'll approach them and see if they will allow me to try out their product!

Luckily, they were very kind and was happy to collaborate with me.

So here is my honest and unbiased review of my beloved Votre Vu.

Your passport to healthy, glowing and youthful looking skin!



@votrevu is a French born product who hand picks French organically powered formula that suits every skin type.

Today, I’ll be telling you all about my feed back regarding the cream in this line w/c I have used for two weeks.


First impression:




~ Packaging - pink & gold? You can’t never go wrong with that

~ Texture - lightweight and gives you a velvet matte feel (definitely perfect for oily combination skin type w/c my skin type totally belong)
~ Price - this cream retails for $78 (via their website at votrevu.com), I know it’s quite pricey. But if you want a product that will work for you then you just sometimes need to bite the bullet.
~ Scent - it has a subdued scent. Like it’s there but it’s the faintest scent close to nothing (definitely good for people who don’t like crazy scent in their skin care product & who is sensitive to scent)




So I have used the *Peau Équilibrée crème for exactly two weeks & all I can say is my skin loves it! I really don’t have any problem when it comes to moisturiser. I never get any break outs from using one. Especially not from this brand. I noticed that my skin looks less oily every time I use this on my skin care routine or under make up. 




This feels so luxurious in your skin & I just feel so relaxed whenever this cream touches my skin. I feel being transported to the organic gardens of France. I can’t really fault this moisturiser. To be honest I am loving it that I am using it sparingly. 



What’s best about this French crème is it doesn’t only control my sebum production but also restore the skin’s natural protective barrier leaving my skin velvety matte, clearer and silky soft.


All in all this crème has been totally awesome. Didn’t get any break outs or sensitivity. Works well on me (I think the fact that I chose something that suits for my skin is the key why it works for me).

IUNIK Rose Galactomyces Essential Toner | REVIEW

Hiya Gorgeous!!


It’s another review day today lovelies! 

Iunik has kindly sent me a few products to try out and that includes the *Rose Galactomyces Essential Toner (w/c I actually chose).




I opted for this toner as it is one of best & practical essentials that you can have in your skin care routine. And if I was to choose 3 skin care products for the rest of my life it would be toner, serum moisturiser. That’s why these 3 are the most important things in my routine, the rest are just extra.

I probably have not mentioned what IUNIK means in my previous review w/ their oil cleanser so here it is:


I - Ideal
U - Unique
N - Natural
I - Ingredients
K - Knowhow


These all pertains to how they make their products, the cost performance and minimalist packaging and of course the all natural ingredients that they use.





This toner helps in water replenishment. Soothes skin. Helps in minimizing pores and sebum control & improves wrinkles.

Iunik used 70% Rosa Damascena Flower Water instead of the actual water that’s why it helps in moisturising & has calming properties.


Feedback:


I love using this toner. I have actually incorporated this straight away in my routine after getting it.

I love using this before masking too. I use this either by dropping a few bits to my hands and dab it to my face or use cotton & wipe it all over my face.

I love how soothing this toner is. I really feel that my face is supple & well moisturized after every use. I didn’t have any breakouts or sensitivity. That subdued rose scent is so therapeutic & relaxing for me plus it doesn’t linger w/c is an awesome bonus!

This toner has basically ticked all the list for me. Packaging wise, scent, ingredients another WIN - WIN again. 


Will I repurchase after running out? Of course I will!This product retails for $21.99 at unique4u.net.

Have you ever tried this toner before?
