This beautiful blue cream is everything I had hoped it would be! Let me just start off by saying I have a disease called lupus, which is an autoimmune disease that makes my body mistakenly attack my organs, tissues, blood cells and skin. That means that my face skin gets inflamed and irritated a lot, especially by the Sun and fluorescent lighting(even if it's only 5-10 minutes). I have become a huge fan and believer in the benefits of Azulene for skin, as it has been one of the few ingredients that really works to calm and soothe my skin. It is intended more for a spot treatment than a full on moisturizer, but I typically use it on around 1&#47;2 of my face where it flares up at. It has a rich consistency with a smooth, silky texture and absorbs beautifully into the skin. Highly, highly recommend this. It's a life(skin) saver to have in your stash when you need it.

This is I'm From's first ever cleansing balm, making it a very exciting product. The balm is formulated with 7.8% of fig oil water and effectively removes makeup, dirt, oil, &amp; any leftover residue.

Fun fact: Figs contain superior quality antioxidants(anthocyanins, polyphenols, gallic acid) that aids in evening skintone, calms redness, reducing dark spots by inhibiting the production of melanin, and enhances skin's hydration by preventing water loss from skin's upper layers.

Upon opening the container, there is a very sweet fruity scent that begins to linger and it is incredibly pleasant and relaxing. The balm itself is more firm in texture than other cleansing balms I have tried, which makes it glide across the skin with ease. 
At first scoop it has a sherbet consistency and immediately melts onto the skin upon contact, creating a silky smooth oil. It is very hydrating and feels very nice on the skin, leaving behind no residue. This cleanser is effective at removing all traces of makeup, sunscreen, and oil from the skin thanks to its thicker consistency.

The best part about this balm? It turns into this incredible creamy consistency &amp; emulsifies upon adding water! Did I mention that I have never had to double cleanse after using this? My skin is left feeling satiny smooth and incredibly moisturized-- not stripping my dry skin whatsoever.

The overall experience that this product creates feels very luxurious and quite relaxing, making this a staple in my collection!

The tube is a little finicky due to the material it&#39;s made out of, but it makes it fully recyclable and is more sustainable so I can&#39;t complain.

I&#39;m a huge fan of good molecules products so I was thrilled to try one of their newest products, the yerba mate eye gel. I had never tried anything with Yerba Mate as the main ingredient until now but I&#39;ve always heard great things about it, so I was very excited to dive in.

Key ingredients include yerba mate, peptides, caffeine, and three forms of hyaluronic acid. This ingredient combo works to depuff, brighten, hydrate, and energize tired eyes.

It has a lightweight gel consistency that I am obsessed with. Upon applying, it provides immediate cooling and soothing to my delicate eye area. It glides smoothly onto the skin and absorbs quickly, leaving my skin feeling hydrated and rejuvenated. I basically have permanent dark circles due to my health conditions and never getting restful sleep, but I&#39;ve seen such an improvement in my dark circles since I started using this so I&#39;m really impressed! 
The best part? It&#39;s only $6!

Have you ever tried a sun essence? Me either, until now. If you're unfamiliar with the term, a sun essence is a lightweight, breathable, residue-free alternative to regular SPF.

Korea is well known for their dewy, lightweight skincare products and sun essences are no exception! Essences in skincare are typically used after toners to provide added moisturization and hydration while being much more lightweight than an ordinary moisturizer or cream. Think of a sun essence in the same sense: a lightweight sunscreen without the thick, goopy texture and leftover residue of an ordinary sunscreen.

The particular product I want to talk about is the Pestlo Safe Recipe Sun Essence SPF 50+. As I've mentioned time and time again, I wear SPF indoors and outdoors due to lupus so finding a sunscreen that is lightweight and residue free has been a major challenge for me throughout the years. This is a physical sunscreen meaning the active ingredients sit on top of the skin to reflect harmful UV rays. Not only does it protect against UV rays, this baby is full of skin healthy ingredients that absorb to form a barrier of nutrients under the skin.

Key Ingredients include:
Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxide, Chia Seed Extract, Echium Plantagineum Seed Oil, Centella Asiatica, Houttuynia Cordata, Pine Bark, Rosemary Leaf, Ceramide NP, &amp; Panthenol.

It has an incredibly lightweight texture and a slightly runny consistency, which makes it very easy to rub in. This sun essence does have a naturally derived, refreshing herbal rosemary scent which I absolutely love! It does dissipate shortly after applying so I don't think it would bother you if you are sensitive to scents. 

The silky consistency allows the product to glide effortlessly along the skin and absorb almost instantly. There is no white cast left behind and my skin is left feeling surprisingly moisturized thanks to the Panthenol &amp; Ceramides! This is a high quality, unexpected treasure that I highly recommend if you're looking for a lightweight, hypoallergenic sunscreen.

This serum works to soothe and recharge dry skin with deep ocean energy.

Key ingredients: Hyaluronic acid, deep sea water, pearl extracts, sea plant extracts, honeysuckle extracts, &amp; ceramide-3.

This serum has a pump dispensor so it's much easier to apply, as well as much more hygiene-friendly compared to droppers. It has a lightweight gel consistency that transforms into a more watery substance upon contact with the skin. The gel texture makes it very easy to spread, so a little goes a long way. I typically do 2 pumps for my whole face. There is a very pleasant fresh scent that resembles flowers. It has the lightest scent of all four products I received.

Upon applying, it feels very cool to the touch and. There is a very pleasant cooling feel upon applying, and truly delivers a refreshing drink of water to thirsty skin. It absorbs quickly and seems to create a protective veil on the skin to help retain moisture even after the product has been absorbed completely. This serum makes my skin so silky smooth and gives me a natural, dewy glow! I love how easily it quenches my skin and how intensely hydrating it is without being heavy or sticky.

This is yet another product that has helped save my skin from the dreaded Summer heat and sun! I for one am all for marine extracts in my skincare, as I believe the ocean has so many mysteries and healing properties thanks to the rich minerals and nutrients deep in the sea!
