The Haruharu Wonder Black Rice 5.5 Soft Cleansing Gel is a soft and mild yet deeply cleansing and moisturizing gel textured Cleanser. It was formulated with a light acidic formula of 5.5pH that promises to maintain a healthy skin barrier and contains natural ingredients like plant-derived surfactant from Coconuts, Fermented Black Rice Extract, Rice Germ Exctract, Korean Pasque Flower Extract, Fernented Bamboo Shoot Bark Extract, Ginseng Root Exctract, Isnea Barbata Extract and Beta-Glucan. It promises a healthy pH and balanced skin, to defend the skin's barrier, to unclog and to minimize the appearance of pores, to remove impurities, make up, SPF, dead and dull skin, to provide moisture and hydration and to minimize skin irritations without drying out the skin. It's suitable for daily use and for all skintypes, but especially for sensitive skin and was also tested for irritations on sensitive skin. šš”š š¬ššš§š: This Cleansing Gel is unscented and contains no fragrance at all. Excellent for sensitive skin! ššš±šš®š«š šš§š šššš„: This Cleansing Gel has a clear and dense gel texture when squeezing it out of the tube and becomes a soft, white colored, bubbly foam when water is added. It feels really soft and silky when lathering the skin. A very pleasant feeling! šš”š š©ššš¤šš š¢š§š : This Cleansing Gel comes in a matte purple gradient colored plastic tube. It looks pretty and feels soft and velvety when holding it, a very pleasant feeling! It contains a small amount of brand info in both English and Korean in white lettering and closes with a white cap on top. The tube is easy to handle and easy to squeeze. The tube comes in a purple gradient colored carton box with one white colored side, printed with soy ink and containing all relevant info on the brand, the ingredients and instructions on how to use it in both English and Korean, in white lettering. The white colored side is written in black lettering. While the tube has a dark to light gradient, the box has a light to dark gradient, perfectly complimenting each other. The packaging is looking very aesthetic. šš”š š«šš¬š®š„š: I usually use this Cleanser as my second step in a double cleanse, after the Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Moisture Deep Cleansing Oil I reviewed before and when combining the two, my face is feeling and looking squeaky clean, soft, moisturized and hydrated. It doesn't really target redness but my skin seems to appear balanced and glowy. My skin didn't feel dry, thight or itchi at any moment and I haven't experienced any irritations or discomfort while or after using this cleanser. It's also perfectly usable for a single cleanse, with the same results. šš² šØš©š¢š§š¢šØš§: I absolutely love this Cleanser! It's so mild and gentle but makes my skin look really healthy and clean! And it feels so soft, I can't stop touching my face! š I especially love the results and the fact that it's scentless, which is excellent for sensitive skin like mine. It's definitely worth the purchase and I'm certainly buying it again when I'm out! Highly recommended and definitely worth a 5 stars rating! I would give even more if I could! š šššš¢š§š : āļøāļøāļøāļøāļø

Pacifica Glow Baby Booster Serum ā¤ļø šæššØšš”ššš¢šš§: š š§ššššš«šš š©šššØ š„š§š¤ššŖšš© šš¤š§ šš§šš šš£ šššššš£šš šš¤š§ š¢š® šš¤š£ššØš© š§šš«ššš¬. š¼š”š” š¤š„šš£šš¤š£šØ šš§š šØš©š§ššš©š”š® š¢šš£š! šš”šš š¢š¬ š¢š šš§š š°š”šš š¢š§š š«ššš¢šš§šš¬ ššØšš¬ š¢š ššØš§ššš¢š§? The Pacifica Glow Baby Booster Serum is a concentrated bioactive Serum containing stabilizised Vitamin C, an antioxidant known for it's brightening properties, Glycolic Acid, an AHA known to improve skin texture, amd Kadaku Plum Fruit Extract, claiming to brighten and relieve clogged, dull skin. It's suitable for all skintypes, vegan, cruelty free and formulated without Parabenes, Phthalates, SLS and Mineral Oils. šš”š š¬ššš§š: The first thing I noticed was the gorgeous packaging of both the box as the bottle, but the second one was that fantastic scent! It's truly is heaven in a bottle! I spy notes of something like citrus, fresh and summery, mixed with a warm and sweet Vanilla like scent. It screams summer to me and I absolutely love the scent! If you're not keen on scented skincare products, this one might not be the one for you, because it's a natural added scent and it's not overwhelmingly strong, but it certainly is noticeable though. ššš±šš®š«š šš§š šššš„: This slightly cloudy, milky white colored serum has a very lightwheighted, rather runny texture and feels really refreshing while applying it to the skin. It absorbs easily without feeling sticky or greasy and doesn't dry out the skin. It melts right in! šš”š š©ššš¤šš š¢š§š : This is what summer would look like if you made a bottle out of it! The orange to yellow gradient colored glass bottle is a real eye catcher! What a beauty! And it's good for the environment too, because it's made out of glass and easily can be recycled. The gorgeous bottle comes with a gold and white colored dropper on top for convenient use and contains gold and white lettering. The turquoise, orange and gold colored carton box the bottle comes in has a little surprise when opening it! Inside the box, there's a line telling you you're so pretty! I absolutely love little and sweet surprises like that! š The box contains all info on the brand, it's ingredients and instructions on how to use it and looks as summery and crisp as the bottle! šš”š š«šš¬š®š„š: This Serum makes my skin feel so silky soft and smooth, it's unreal! My skin is looking balanced and even, radiant and healthy and feels soft, smooth, hydrated and moisturized. I didn't experienced any dryness, tightness, greasy or oily feeling and my skin didn't break out after using this Serum. My redness and my enlarged pores were looking even, balanced and slightly smaller in appearance. šš² šØš©š¢š§š¢šØš§: I LOVE IT! I freaking love it! Absolutely! I love the fantastic scent, I love the wonderful results, I love the gorgeous appearance of the bottle, I simply adore everything about this serum! Highly recommended and definitely worth a try! I'm buying another bottle when I'm out of this one! šššš¢š§š : āļøāļøāļøāļøāļø

Wrinkle Bounce Multi Balm
Natje9999
Kahi Wrinkle Bounce Multi Balm ā¤ļø šæššØšš”ššš¢šš§: š š§ššššš«šš š©šššØ š„š§š¤ššŖšš© šš¤š§ šš§šš šš£ šššššš£šš šš¤š§ š¢š® šš¤š£ššØš© š§šš«ššš¬. š¼š”š” š¤š„šš£šš¤š£šØ šš§š šØš©š§ššš©š”š® š¢šš£š! Apparently, the Kahi Wrinkle Bounce Multi Balm is highly popular these days because it was featured in a number of Korean television dramas but since I don't watch Korean dramas myself, I wasn't really aware of it's cult status. However, when I was asked to test and review this product, I didn't have to think one second about it, I didn't know it, I haven't used it before, it's completely new to me, so hell yeah, let me test this baby! I'm all up for it! š šš”šš š¢š¬ š¢š šš§š š°š”šš š¢š§š š«ššš¢šš§šš¬ ššØšš¬ š¢š ššØš§ššš¢š§: The Kahi Wrinkle Bounce Multi Balm is a multifunctional skincare product that can be used to soothe the skin, to give your skin a nice glow and to moisturize and hydrate the skin. It has anti-aging properties, anti-inflammatory properties, skin healing properties and contains ingredients like Salmon Complex (Salmon Collagen and Salmon PDRN), Licorice Extract, multiple natural oils like Jeju's Natural Fermented Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil, Apple Seed Oil and Moringa Seed Oil, Turmeric Root Extract, Shea Butter and Beta Carotene, amongst others. With the use of Salmon Complex, this obviously isn't a vegan product but personally, I don't have a preference between vegan or non vegan products, so I don't mind. It claims to form a moisture barrier on the skin for a longlasting hydration, boosting the power of make up so your make up will last longer, and to restore the elasticity of the skin. It also claims to minimize pores and to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, redness and scars, to reduce inflammation, to stimulate collagen production, to rejuvenate the skin, to improve skin texture, to strengthen the skin barrier, to promote skin regeneration and to repair damaged skin. The Balm is useable as a wrinkle treatment, a moisturizer, a lipbalm, a highlighter and even to restore damaged splitted hair ends. It really is multi usable! šš”š š¬ššš§š: It contains fragrance but it's that light I even didn't notice any scent, to be honest. I do have to admit I have a cold, so maybe my nose isn't working as it should at the moment! š ššš±šš®š«š šš§š šššš„: This pretty, pink colored Balm has a rich feel but also feels silky soft and smooth. It glides over the skin and blends in rather easily. It doesn't feel really greasy or oily and doesn't make my skin feel thight or dry. šš”š š©ššš¤šš š¢š§š : This Balm comes in a gorgeous pink plastic tube, which you have to twist to get the stick up. It actually looks like a big lipbalm. But it isn't that big, which makes this balm really convenient to take it with you when heading out, in case you need a touch up or some extra moisture and hydration. It contains some brown / golden colored Korean text on the back, probably the ingredients or directions, but I can't read Korean, so I'm not entirely sure what it actually says. The tube has a convenient size, making it easy for us to take it with us everywhere we go. The pink lipbalm like tube comes in a pink carton box, mentioning a list of ingredients and directions on how to use the Balm, along with some info on the brand, in golden / brown lettering. The packaging of both the carton box and the tube itself looks really cute! Really girly! šš”š š«šš¬š®š„š: After using this balm on dry spots and on my lips, I can say it really gives moisture and hydration. When used on the skin, it leaves a gorgeous, radiant and dewy looking glow, which I also love! I also love the convenient pakaging. I haven't seen much improvement in my fine lines and wrinkles yet, but my pores do look less visible (not completely gone because that's not possible), my redness looked slightly less visible šš² šØš©š¢š§š¢šØš§: I love this balm! I mostly use it as a lipbalm and a highlighter myself, but there are countless of ways in which you can use this Balm. I also love the gorgeous looking pink tube and how easy and convenient it is to use this balm. I'm rating it 4 stars, because it's a rather expensive product, but I also recommend the Kahi Wrinkle Bounce Multi Balm to people with sensitive, dry, irritated and dull skin because it simply is that good! š šššš¢š§š : āļøāļøāļøāļø

Black Rice Moisture Deep Cleansing Oil

Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Moisture Deep Cleansing Oil Unscented ā¤ļø šæššØšš”ššš¢šš§: š š§ššššš«šš š©šššØ š„š§š¤ššŖšš© šš¤š§ šš§šš šš£ šššššš£šš šš¤š§ š¢š® šš¤š£ššØš© š§šš«ššš¬. š¼š”š” š¤š„šš£šš¤š£šØ šš§š šØš©š§ššš©š”š® š¢šš£š! šš”šš š¢š¬ š¢š šš§š š°š”šš š¢š§š š«ššš¢šš§šš¬ ššØšš¬ š¢š ššØš§ššš¢š§? The Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Moisture Deep Cleansing Oil is a naturally made Cleansing Oil containing oil from Black Rice (that one was pretty self explanatory! š) and other botanical oils like Olive Oil, Macadamia Seed Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil and Jojoba Seed Oil. It's made of 95% natural-derived ingredients. It's a mild and gentle Cleanser targeting make up, sebum, impurities, excessive oils, spf and clogged pores and it's vegan, cruelty free, hypoallergenic and free from parabens and harmful ingredients. Apart from cleaning your skin, it claims to provide moisture without stripping the skin and without irritations or breakouts, while soothing, nourishing and revitalizing the skin. It's should be suitable for all skintypes and mild enough for daily use, as it's also tested for skin irritations. šš”š š¬ššš§š: This Cleansing Oil is unscented, which is great for sensitive skin! I actually sniffed the bottle and there isn't any noticeable scent, as promised by Haruharu Wonder. I honestly don't mind a scent, as my skin usually can handle a bit of fragrance, but I'm not a fan of most of the fragrances frequently used in Cleansing Oils, so I'm actually really happy that this one doesn't contain any fragrances. ššš±šš®š«š šš§š šššš„: It's an oil, so obvioulsy, it feels like an oil while applying it to the skin, it feels a bit greasy while applying, but after the emulsifying and rinsing process, the greasy feeling is completely gone. It doesn't feel sticky either, nor does it makes my face feel thight or dry. Unlike the colorful bottle, the oil is clear and becomes a milky white, kinda runny substance when emulsifying it with water. šš”š š©ššš¤šš š¢š§š : The gorgeous packaging is what my caught my eye! This Oil arrives in a yellow to purple gradient colored plastic bottle with a white colored pumping system on top and looks gorgeous. The pumping system is very user friendly and makes it easy to dose the right amount of oil needed. The plastic bottle arrives in a beautiful looking purple carton box containing info on the brand, a list of ingredients and instructions on how to use it, in both English as Korean and even contains some braille, which, in my opinion, is freaking awesome! If you'd ask me, I would say more brands should use braille on their packaging! šš”š š«šš¬š®š„š: After rinsing my face with lukewarm water, my skin feels nourished, soft, moisturized and squeaky clean! My skin is looking healthy and radiant and I can't find any left over make up residue on my entire face. My skin doesn't feel tight, dry or irritated at all! šš² šØš©š¢š§š¢šØš§: Those of you that know me or read some of my previous reviews might know that I'm not a Cleasing Oil fan in particular, but I really loved this one! I especially loved the fact that it's fragrance free, that it contains 95% natural-derived ingredients and the effect it has on my skin. I also love the gorgeous looking bottle it comes in, it's a simple and plain looking bottle, but the yellow to purple gradient looks highly intriguing and beautiful! I use it together with the Black Rice Cleansing Gel when double cleansing and I absolutely love them both. I definitely recommend the Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Moisture Deep Cleansing Oil to anyone out there, regardless your skintype, and will definitely buy it again myself when I run out! Highly recommended and 5 well deserved stars! Bravo! š šššš¢š§š : āļøāļøāļøāļøāļø

Licorice pH Balancing Cleansing Toner

Acwell Licorice PH Balancing Cleansing Toner ā¤ļø šæššØšš”ššš¢šš§: š š§ššššš«šš š©šššØ š„š§š¤ššŖšš© šš¤š§ šš§šš šš£ šššššš£šš šš¤š§ š¢š® šš¤š£ššØš© š§šš«ššš¬. š¼š”š” š¤š„šš£šš¤š£šØ šš§š šØš©š§ššš©š”š® š¢šš£š! šš”šš š¢š¬ š¢š šš§š š°š”šš š¢š§š š«ššš¢šš§šš¬ ššØšš¬ š¢š ššØš§ššš¢š§? The Acwell Licorice PH Balancing Cleansing Toner is a refreshing, balancing and brightening Toner with a PH of 5,5, containing Licorice Root Extract, Green Tea, Rose Extract and Peony Extract. It promises to balance the skin, refine the skin's texture, reduce inflammation, irritations, hyperpigmentation, dark spots and acne scars and also claims to provide the skin with a radiant glow. It's suitable for sensitive skin and it's a vegan product! šš”š š¬ššš§š: It contains quite some fragrance, I noticed something kinda floral and luxurious but the scent dissapears after applying the Toner so it doesn't keep lingering. I do like the scent, but I can imagine it's not for everyone. While I do have sensitive skin, I didn't experienced any irritations regarding the fragrance myself. ššš±šš®š«š šš§š šššš„: This tonic has a very lightwheight, watery texture that doesn't feel too sticky or greasy. It comes in a brown colored bottle, so it's difficult to see what colour the Tonic exactly has, but when applying it to a cotton round, it looks slightly yellowish. It doesn't dry out my skin, doesn't make my skin feel thight and while it feels a tad sticky while applying, it melts into the skin quite easily and doesn't feel sticky or greasy after applying either. šš”š š©ššš¤šš š¢š§š : This tonic comes in a brown colored plastic bottle with a black cap and some white and blue colored text engraved in the bottle itself. I think the packaging is updated recently, when researching the product online, I noticed some of the bottles featured on older pictures still have a white sticker containing all info applied on the bottle, but the newer ones look like the bottle I have. The plastic bottle comes in a clean looking white carton box with brown and blue lettering, containing all info about the brand and the product, including a list of ingredients and instructions on how to use the product. šš”š š«šš¬š®š„š: After applying this Toner, my skin feels super soft and smooth, refreshed, calm and soothed. My face also feels hydrated and moisturized. My skin looks healthy, fresh, balanced and radiant. I'm not using it that long, so I can't say much about the hyperpigmentation or the acne scars claims yet, but I do feel like my redness and fine lines are slightly less visible. šš² šØš©š¢š§š¢šØš§: I really like this Toner! Especially it's amazing scent, the very lightweight texture and the effect of the product on my skin, both in looks as feels! I haven't experienced any irritations or break outs. šššš¢š§š : āļøāļøāļøāļø

Anua Heartleaf Silky Moisture Sun Cream ā¤ļø šæššØšš”ššš¢šš§: š š§ššššš«šš š©šššØ š„š§š¤ššŖšš© šš¤š§ šš§šš šš£ šššššš£šš šš¤š§ š¢š® šš¤š£ššØš© š§šš«ššš¬. š¼š”š” š¤š„šš£šš¤š£šØ šš§š šØš©š§ššš©š”š® š¢šš£š! After trying out the Anua Niacinamide Serum and the Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil I've won through Picky some time ago, I madly wanted to try some other Anua products, because I've heard and read so many good things about their products but I wasn't completely satisfied with the 2 products mentioned above. You can imagine the joy I felt when I received an email from YesStyle informing me that Anua chose me to test and review their Heartleaf Silky Moisture Sun Cream through the YesStyle x Anua Brand Invitation Campaign! š„° šš”šš š¢š¬ š¢š šš§š š°š”šš š¢š§š š«ššš¢šš§šš¬ ššØšš¬ š¢š ššØš§ššš¢š§? The Anua Heartleaf Silky Moisture Sun Cream is a sunscreen using chemical filters to provide a broad spectrum sun protection of SPF50. It's an organic sunscreen, containing ingredients, antioxidants, nutrients and botanical extracts like Houttuynia Cordata Exctract, Niacinamide, Kaki Leaf Exctract, Grape Fruit Extract, Safflower Extract, Coffee Seed Extract, Green Tea Leaf Extract, Chesnut Shell Extract and Panthenol, claiming to provide soothing and hydrating benefits to the skin, to boast a sebum control effect, to maintain a healthy skin barrier and to prolong make up wear. Obviously, it also protects the skin against harmful UV rays and environmental agressors. It's vegan and cruelty free and suitable for all skintypes, especially for sensitive skin. šš”š š¬ššš§š: This sunscreen doesn't have any scent, which obviously is great for people with sensitive skin. Besides that, personally, I definitely prefer no scent over the typical sunscreen scent any day! š ššš±šš®š«š šš§š šššš„: This milky white colored satin soft sunscreen has a nice creamy but yet very lightweight texture and melts right into the skin, without feeling greasy or sticky. It absorbs really quickly and doesn't dry out the skin. It feels really good on the skin, without any discomfort. šš”š š©ššš¤šš š¢š§š : This sunscreen comes in a white and green colored matte plastic tube with green and white lettering in Korean. There's a little bit of English text on the tube too, but it's almost too little to notice. The typical Keep It Simple line Anua always prints onto their products is also visible. The matte material used for making the tube feels nice when holding the tube. The tube comes in a white and green colored carton box with white and green lettering. The box is printed in soy ink and contains a list of ingredients in English and a whole bunch of info in Korean on the back of the box. Just like the tube, it also contains the typical Keep it Simple line Anua always uses on their products. The white and green colors used in the packaging emphasizes the organic and vegan nature of the sunscreen perfectly. šš”š š«šš¬š®š„š: After application, my skin feels moisturized and hydrated, nourished, smooth, supple and soft and looks fresh, healthy, firm and radiant. It spreads really easily and doesn't leave any whitecast. And, as mentioned before, it melts right into the skin. It should have a semi-dewy finish, but I feel like it's more like a matte finish. But personally, I don't mind a matte finish. šš² šØš©š¢š§š¢šØš§: This is my favorite Anua product! I wasn't really a fan of the 2 previous products I tried, but this one really changed my mind! I absolutely love this Sun Cream! I especially love that it's scentless, doesn't leave a whitecast and absorbs so quickly. My favorite sunscreen still is the Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum, because of it's serum-like texture and the dewy glow, but this one definitely earns it's spot in my list of favorite SPF's! This is the one I grab when I feel like having a matte finish instead of a dewy one! Highly recommended for everyone looking for a good and simple vegan sunscreen that does what it promises to do! šššš¢š§š : āļøāļøāļøāļøāļø
