Dermae: Refining Vitamin A and Glycolic Cleaner Review
Hellos!
I noticed that I haven’t been blogging about skincare or acne related products
recently so I decided to share one product that I have learn to love
since the start of 2013! ^_~
My
skincare products are pretty much
still the same all year round and would probably only alter a moisturizer, if
ever the temperature drops. I have no complains with regards to the products I
used, but you guys know that I am getting older day by day *sighs*; so I opted to look for products that does not only focuses
on acne but also provides renewal properties.
The
product I’ve learn to love this 2013 is none other than Dermae: Refining Vitamin A and Glycolic Cleaner.
This is actually my second bottle as I have already emptied the first one and
decided to grab another one since the results are quite nice ^_~
Dermae: Refining Vitamin A and Glycolic Cleanser Price: USD12.75 / Size: 175ml
What it claims:
- Natural and
mild exfoliating formula that rinses away dirt, oil, impurities and deep
cleanse pores
- Helps to
achieve a healthy complexion
- Contains Vitamin
A, which is known to have cellular renewal properties
- The main
ingredients is made out of Glycolic Acid, Marine Plant Extracts and papaya
which gives skin a thorough cleansing effect
- Ideal for normal to oily skin types
Here goes the real deal of
my reviews:
What
I’m Loving:
- Comes in a
transparent gel form that is quite easy to lather and rinse off
- Able to
provide skin a thorough cleansing without stripping out the needed
moisture the skin needs
- Noticed
that skin becomes soft, smooth and more radiant after every wash
- Helps to
revive skin dullness
- Did not aggregate existing acne or experience discomfort upon using
What
I Don’t like:
- Not easily reachable in some areas (I bought this at Healthy Options)
Overall
Reviews, Suggestion & Recommendation:
- Considering
the price, I think it is quite a steal as you get both Vitamin A and
Glycolic in one product already.
- I have oily
combination and sensitive skin and it works fine on me(no irritation
encountered)
- I love the
fact that it is a natural &
organic, cruelty and paraben-free and Eco-friendly product!
- For those
with oily skin, I do suggest to use a
cleansing brush or pair it
up with your clarisonic in order to
achieve a more overall cleansing (I personally use this method)
- Lastly, I don’t know if its just me as I do think it helps on lightening acne spots (not major) but just minimal effect
That’s
it for my review on Dermae: Refining Vitamin A and Glycolic Cleanser ^_~
Hope
you find it helpful =)

Mini Face Shop Hauls and Reviews
Hellos!
Noticed that I have been good this March as I did not overhaul or bought something
that I do not need or won't be using.
I hope I could continue this type of behavior and survive till the end of March (*cross fingers*)
1)
Herb Day Cleansing Cream in ALOE Size: 150ml
What it claims:
- Mild and
hydrating cleansing cream that is suitable for All Skin types
- Contains
fresh Aloe and Herb ingredients that helps replenish skin
- Able to remove makeup gently
My
Reviews:
- The
consistency is in a cream texture
with a light tint of green shade
- No definite smell
- Able to remove makeup thoroughly and is very gentle even to sensitive skin
Recommendation:
- I have
issues with makeup remover getting into my eyes (even though I swear I
have tightly closed my lids) so I am quite meticulous when trying out
makeup remover
- This
cleansing cream doesn’t blur or irritate my eyes and still works tough on
removing those makeup effectively
- I would recommend this to someone who have issues using harsh makeup remover as this is definitely a gentle cleanser that even a sensitive skin can try
2)
I WAIT
RAINBOW (Lovely me-ex) in Amazing Silver
My Reviews:
- Loved the
simple and clear packaging as you are able to see the shade clearly
- Good
pigmentation and sufficient amount of product included
- Varieties of Shade to choose from
Recommendation:
- Add that
extra spark by applying on inner tearduct
- Top it off from an eyeshadow to give the makeup look an extra pop
My Reviews:
- Loved that
it is basically a 2-in-1 function whereas one end with the eyebrow pen and
the other end is built with brush
- The
pigmentation is really light and just appropriate when shading the
eyebrows
- The triangular shaped pencil make it more easy in shaping eyebrows
Recommendation:
- Shape your
eyebrow by bordering first then shading it
- Use the brush on the last step so that it would give more opacity on the eyebrow
That’s
it for my micro-mini Face Shop hauls!
How
about you? Have you been good this March?
Thanks
for dropping by ^_~
VS Backstage BombShell Makeup Kit Review + FOTD
Hellos!
Today I am going to review about the Victoria Secret: Backstage Bombshell set I
have posted before HERE.
It is describe as a 55 must-haves for eyes, lips and
face-all in one "Hello, Bombshell" Makeup Kit.
The
makeup set contain the following:
30 eyeshadows
5 lip glosses/ 5 lipstcks
4 blushes/ 1 luminous powder/ 1 translucent
powder
1 bronzer
1 mascara / 1 lip liner/ 2 eye applicators/ 2
lip brushes/ 1 face brush/ 1 eyeliner (mini versions)
Stand-up vanity mirror at 5 1/4"L x 4 1/4"W
x 1 1/2"H
My Reviews on this Makeup Kit:
What
I Like About:
- Wide range of eyeshadows and lippies shade included
- Pretty much an all- in- 1 kit as you have everything in this kit
- Price is not bad considering the varieties of product included
What
I don’t Like:
- Fragile packaging (definitely NOT travel friendly)
- All the included mini brushes are useless (not workable and super flimsey)
- Almost all eye shadows have fall-outs
- Some eye shadow have low pigments even if I apply it with primer
Overall Reviews:
I
am quite disappointed with this kit as the eyeshadows are low in pigments and
have major fallouts >_< All the included tools are also USELESS as the
quality is cheap -__- I would probably NOT recommend this kit as I think it is not worth it at all >_<
Despite the disappointment, I manage to create a
spring look using just this kit and below are some of the photos:
Used some greens and brown that represent Spring =)

Victoria Secret: The BombShell Look Kit Review
Hellos!
Today I will review about the Victoria Secret’s The Bombshell Kit that I have
posted on my previous entry HERE. I really love the set as I
find every item really useful =)
Let’s
get to the item one by one:
·
The consistency is in gel form and it immediately
make my skin feel super soft, smooth and a ready canvass for makeup application
·
It also helps makeup to last longer
·
Didn’t encounter any irritation or aggregate
existing acne
2)
Makeup EyeShadow Trio
·
Pigmentation is good and didn’t experience any
fallouts
·
Love the combination of the three shades as it’ll be
able to create both smokey and neutral looks nicely
·
Sleek and travel friendly palette
3)
Makeup EyeLiner in Extreme Black
·
Intense crayon black that is easy to apply
·
Minimal smudge and smear encounter after 5-6 hours
of wearing
·
Able to give lashes an instance volume without
clumping
·
Wand created in a shape that makes it easy to swipe
on
·
The colour is almost nude but it gives a sheer
glossy shine
·
Doesn’t feel sticky and provides lips enough
moisture
·
I don’t like the scent as I find it too strong for
my taste >_<
·
I’m loving the pink “baked” shade as it gives a
natural rosy cheek effect
Overall Reviews:
I
would recommend this set to someone who is just starting on makeup as this set
has almost all the essentials included. The price is not bad at all, for USD30
you get to have almost everything you needed =) The item that I love the most
would probably be the mascara as it gave my “barely there” lashes more visibility
=)
I
also created a look using only the above makeup kit and here are some of the
photos:
That’s
it for my reviews ^_~
Thank
you for dropping by ^_~
