So excited that I was trying to do a running man, but failed. 😂 (dealing with Multiple Sclerosis for many years doesn't help either, but at least my left knee is mildly affected 🤣)

I can't wait to try all three of these Insntree sunscreens! I apologize for took a mental break for nearly two weeks on Instagram for those who follow me, but it doesn't stop me from doing reviews elsewhere (including here, of course ☺).

Very special thanks to Picky Team and Isntree! Congratulations to the fellow winners along with other winners from different giveaways! Can't wait from you guys to do reviews as well! 💜

P.S. I was one of the people who was recently selected by Benton due to a "Clean Beauty Concept" survey (very special thanks to lavenderduck) so I expect a delivery on the 16th. I will keep you guys updated once the products are here. Special thanks to Benton as well. Love you all! 💜

I am very excited about this!

It was earlier than I expected, but I am not complaining. Thanks, SAEM and Picky Team!

Also, I noticed several users asked about Numbuzin GA winner announcements and some of the winners including myself announced it on Instagram (August 28th). I apologize to those who are still wondering about it, but I had to get my physical and mental health in order first. From now on, I will post here as well (just please be kind to me instead of feeling some type a way by considered me as "lucky" which made me feel guilty for winning). A very special thanks to Numbuzin as well! 

Congratulations to other winners! Looking forward to the reviews! Please be kind to each other and take care! 💜

Awe, I won the eye sticks! Also, Numbuzin Giveaways fiasco.

UPDATE: The reviews of ACWELL Licorice pH Balancing Cleansing Toner, ACWELL Licorice pH Balancing Advance Serum, elmt Pure Vitamin C 20% Element, and GREENZLA Natural Bamboo Cotton Pads has been added! Thank you, Picky Team, for accepting the product request of the reusable cotton pads! I greatly appreciate it! ☺



I got a chance to received the packages before I went to the ER (physical issues that I have for nearly week, but now I am discharged). One of them is the giveaway from Picky and ACWELL. Another is the reusable cotton pads which I always wanted try and finally buy it. Made with bamboo and it's very soft. The packagings for both are very cool. Once I get myself together, I will be reviewing the toner and the sampled serum. (I will try to do a review of the reusable cotton pads either in the licorice cleansing toner review or in the discussion...or maybe I should request it.) 

Thank you, Picky Team and ACWELL! And congratulations to those who won this giveaway! 💜

It's Finally Here! Plus, A Special Surprise!

I finally received the giveaway from Numbuzin and received three winning emails. All in one day! For those who are wondering about Ownist, check your emails. Very special thanks to Picky, Numbuzin, Ownist, SKIN1004, and Glint! Congratulations to the fellow winners! 💜

Unrelated News: I am in the middle of uploading my first music video on YouTube which will premiere on October 19th. (Aquandria for those who are interested.) I apologize if I don't normally respond in a timely manner. A special thanks to fellow Picky, cozycritique, for choosing a version of Keep On Watching based on a music video from Instagram. I greatly appreciate it! ☺

Sending love and positive vibes to all of you! 💜

Edited because I almost choke on my dinner when I just received another winning email and this time it's the Glint highlighters. 😂

What An Amazing Day!

I recently received By Wishtrend Green Tea & Enzyme Powder Wash....and I am in love! 💜

A detailed review is now up on both here and Instagram (aquandria_official).

Also on the same day, I received Dr. Ceuracle Cica Regen Vegan Sun that I purchased from Picky Shop (I will do a review later on this product once I run out of my first tube of SKIN1004 Hyula-Cica Sun Serum). It was a surprise because I didn't recieve a shipping email. But the excitement was real! 😂

Special thanks to Picky Team and By Wishtrend! 💜

P.S. I remove the Picky sticker off the package and put it on my refrigerator because it's very cute. ☺

Wow! Two Products in One Day! 😯

MOOD Skincare [Code: LTB15]

STYLEVANA

YESSTYLE [Code: UKQRGH]

As you can tell by the video and pictures, it doesn't match my complexion (too light). 😂 But it was fun of trying this out. For this reason only, I will stick to their other two sunscreens. If you're darker than the peachy beige complexion color, skip this over (unless you want to use it as a concealer or even skin tones). Maybe this sunscreen can be useful for someone close to me. It won't hurt to see if she's interested. (Mom?) 🤔

Isntree Yam Root Milk Tone Up Sun Cream SPF 50 PA+++ UVA/UVB

Now, this is one of those three sunscreens from Isntree that I was nervous about because the tone up sunscreens (from my quick research) are considered as tinted. Packaged in white and peach, this contains Zinc Oxide, Niacinamide, Rice Extract, Oat Meal Extract, and more. The consistency is a little thick, but spreadable (two fingers for my face and neck). The color inside of the tube is light peach. The scent smells like fainted yams. Yummy! ☺

It is very hydrating and moisturizing like their other two sunscreens that I have tried. The glow was amazing. But that's where it ends here. 

No complaints whatsoever. I am very satisfied!

Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Daily Sun Gel SPF 30 PA+++ UVA/UVB

I got a chance to try this sunscreen out. Packaged in white and blue, this contains 10 types of Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, Centella Asiatica, and more. The consistency is lightweight, but spreadable (two fingers for my face and neck). The product inside of the tube is white. The scent is extremely mild which explains that this one is sensitive skin friendly.

And holy cow! I am in love! Even perfect for reapplications (this video proves it). Very hydrating and moisturizing! The glow! No white cast! You can't go wrong with this baby right here! 

For the reapplications, I noticed later that my eyes were a little watery (it could the onion ingredient) so I will keep in mind not to reapply around my eyes from now on. Other than that, I have no complaints!

Isntree Onion Newpair Sunscreen SPF 40 PA+++ UVA/UVB

I was very curious to try this one out because it was supposed to be great for those with acne-prone skin. Plus, a YouTuber named Cassandra Bankson (an esthetician) raved about it (of course, one of the makers as well) and she suffers from acne just like me. And of course, it's purple! 😀  Packaged in purple and white, this contains Onion Bulb Extract, Niacinamide, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, and more. The consistency is lightweight, but spreadable (two fingers for my face and neck). The color of the product inside of the tube is light purple (lavender). The scent smells like a mild baby powder so don't let that onion ingredient fool you. 😂

This was amazing for the first application! I love that it is very hydrating and moisturizing. No purple cast! The glow is A-MAZING! Just remember to don't knock it until you try it because I really enjoy this sunscreen. 💜

Squeezing the tube to get the product out was a challenge which is odd because I never have any issues with squeezing the tubes. Once the product came out, I freaked out because I thought it would be "too much". But it turns out to be the right amount on my full lips. 😂 A very great lip balm, but where it stored could've been better, especially for those who deal with hand problems. Maybe in another tube form? 🤔 

** I received free products from Benton as gifts and this is my honest.*

In this review, I will be talking about Benton Honest Lip Balm. As a person who suffers from dry chapped lips ever since I was a baby, I was very satisfied to receive it. 

Very moisturizing on my lips and it stayed on for a few hours before the reapplication which is great for me. Normally, most lip balms don't last long on my lips (every 30 minutes). It has amazing ingredients as well (Shea Butter, Olive Oil, Jojoba Oil, etc.), especially for dry chapped lips. However, there's a small con to this lip balm that made me questioning about buying it once it runs out because I really love this product.

Although this sunscreen didn't break me out or caused me any irritations, the scent smells very minty, like Icy Hot. It was strong to a point where my eyes turned a little pink and gotten a little watery along with my sniffling nose. 

I did some thorough research and found out that Rosemary (one of the ingredients) comes from a mint family (scent can be close to Eucalyptus). I am a little disappointed based on the formulation of this sunscreen because it really does have potentials.

Luckily, I have another facial sunscreen at hand just in case something went wrong with this one. If anything, I will use this as my body sunscreen until I run out of it. As of now, the search continues while I am sniffling. Still interested in their other products in the future! 💜

Dr. Ceuracle Cica Regen Vegan Sun sounds like a convincing sunscreen due to ingredients including Centella Asiatica Extract and Niacinamide. Even the name convinced me to buy it. 

As soon as I received it, the box was flattened. However, the product wasn't damaged (thank goodness). I waited until I ran out of my other sunscreen to give this a try because I was so excited.

The first time, I realized that I put a little too much because the consistency was thick, but very spreadable. The second time, I used the correct amount on my fingers (shown on picture #3). It spreads very smoothly on my face and gave it a slight glow which I really enjoy. Bonus: no white-cast! It's even baby smooth. That's where the pros ends here. I will explain the cons.
