Do you know this product?

What is the brand that you would love to get from winning giveaway prizes? Is jumiso okay? Or you would prefer something else?

Curiosity on giveaway!

I find my skin a little bit dehydrated these days, do you have any quick recommendations on sheetmask that you can think of?

What is your favorite sheet mask?

As i significantly check through what cleanser I should buy for this holiday season, this caught my eyes! 

But :') expensive! Do you think this is good? Or do you suggest alternative? 

Product : Tata Harper

the most pricey exfoliating cleaser. Is it worth it?

I find it a bit struggle to layer with SPF. I tried watery-kind of SPF, cream-type of SPF, and gel-type of SPF. Piling up a lot 😅 messy and a hustle. Despite loving the results, I hate spending 30 days having a 1 - 2 mins break before applying the next skincare. I have a lot of work to do :( Thus, I started ignoring this product and rarely use it again. What happened to my dark spots? Faded. At least, that is comforting.

It smells fruity. Maybe because it contains 700,000ppm of vitamin Nut fruit extract. It provides instant moisture to my skin that has been tired and getting dull sometimes. Honestly, it leaves my skin with a good pinkish tone that glows naturally.

Uwu 4 months, and I changed my mind. I finally accepted the need to take a break before applying SPF. Skincare is a journey! Wouldn&#39;t want to give up early. 

It has vitamin B12 for elasticity and wrinkle-care. I cannot say much about wrinkles as I have none. But it does leave my skin feeling bouncy and reduce saggy skin around my under-eye. 

Having a sensitive skin myself, I don&#39;t find it to cause any allergic reaction.

Love-hate relationship. A hustle and struggle. But no make up needed anymore ✨ if you watch my reels until the end, I have a swatch test and you can see the instant tone-up effect (glowing with pinkish vibe)

𝓕𝓲𝓷𝓪𝓵 𝓥𝓮𝓻𝓭𝓲𝓬𝓽
I would repurchase as it lives up to its name and claims. But, I will think twice because of the hustles haha. 

With A LOT of ingredients in it; I have to reconsider - 

1. I will purchase again if it is the only brightening &amp; whitening products I want to have in a single morning routine 
2. I will not repurchase if I am trying on other brightening and&#47;or whitening products as this V10 somebymi is packed with a lot of similar ingredients.

#skincarewithika | A REVIEW : The @cosrx propolis synergy toner ( i posted on my skincare instagram : @belleviewithika) 

70% emptied? Yes - This screams so much about how I love this product. Let us break down into several points ✨

My first impression&#47;why I bought it?

• As cosrx offers a wide range of toners, it was a hustle to pick one! Thus, we shall look into the ingredients and my skin need. Propolis and honey are good ingredients for anti-inflammatory effects that will fight against redness and acne. It is also known to be hydrating and in some advertisements - one step to glass skin -

My first application?
It is indeed as hydrating as it claims to be. Easy to apply and not messy. The texture is not too watery nor too solid (it is in between) and I would say a unique texture. No smells &amp; unnecessary fragrances. 

Post-application?
I did some experiments on my skin especially on parts where my acne would get worst during the period. It does help! The redness has calm down and amazingly the acne does not flares up like usual. I would say, this toner is effective to control skin issues instead of treating skin issues. 

My verdict? 

Would definitely repurchase this ✨ It is hard to find toner that walk the talk ✨ 

5&#47;5 

Have you try any propolis-based products?

Post on: #skincarewithika | A REVIEW: The @cosrx advanced snail 96 mucin power essence

Snail mucin is known to be a new cult ingredient not only in South Korea. You can find AS96MPE at almost all states in the United States of America and Southeast Asia. 

This essence has gathered the skincare community to keep on talking about the hype and effectiveness which @james_s_welsh advocates few times on his youtube channel.

So, my 2cent on this:

1. Does it suit the weather in Southeast Asia?

✨ I would say &quot;it depends&quot; but mostly YES! This essence is not as thick as we might imagine and nor a watery one (see: video in 3rd sequence). With only two pumps, it delivers ample hydrating effects (on me). I did try to apply five pumps - but, it turns out to be tacky and too much for my face - not suitable with the hot humid weather here. 

Thus, 1-3 pumps shall be enough for us in Southeast Asia. (Value purchase &amp; long term use yay) 

2. &quot;This is one of the best essences for my acne scars&quot; - said some feedbacks on Mr.Google. Is it?

✨It has been 2 months of using this essence and I purposely focus on several dark spots on my face (I avoid any other brightening, lightening or whitening products on that particular spots). YAS A HOLY GRAIL. It started working by ensuring my dark spots to stay hydrated and slowly fading out the deep brown colour. As for my acne scars - It calms the redness effectively. However, likewise - it took two months so, you know the drill! 

Verdict?
I like this essence and I agree with the hype. It can be mixed with most of the ingredients in other products so far without causing purging. 

• this essence + #axisy dark spot correcting serum = ✔
• this essence + #zarzoubeauty BHS serum = ✔
• this essence + #cerave #retinol resurfacing serum = ✔

Is there any other snail-based product I should try?

I received this product for free from Picky and OFBASE in exchange for my honest review

#skincarewithika a review on @ofbase_official Centella 101 Ampoule

The most common question we unearth online is "whether this product is the same as skin1004 Centella Ampoule?"

It is not, and these are the whys: 

1. I find this product as more potent than the skin1004 Centella Ampoule as it contains >90% of Centella Asiatica 

2. It is less sticky and runny than the skin1004 series. The application is easier in some ways

3. Skin1004 series is more hydrating with minimal drops on my face. However, with 5 drops of OFBASE Ampoule in my morning routine - I can go all day with very very plump skin

Additional personal review:

Reviewing this product alone without comparison, I could say - it is decent and delivered what a hydrating ampoule should! Hydrating and moisturizing. 

Overall: I love this for 4.9/5 ✨ 0.1 just because I am not a fan of the smell, the smell is not bad at all - maybe I was expecting a scentless ampoule. 

Would I repurchase? Yas! Holy grail from south korea ✨

CONS ✨ 
As for this toner, I couldn't find the cons except for it is not formulated to tackle multi skin concerns. It is decent for sensitive skin but not necessarily a need.

#skincarewithika a review on @ofbase_official Centella 101 Toner

✨ PROS ✨

This is one of the most decent toners for hydration purposes. Occasionally, I need extra hydration for my skin - which bring us to discuss this product in details. 

💖 subtle change in my hydration level
💖 calming my redness after a whole day of applying facemask
💖 almost scentless



However, I still like this toner and it can be a staple to my hydration routine ✨

Rating : 4/5
