COSRX Natural BHA Skin Returning Emulsion Review

Hi Everyone!

It has been a long time since I wanted to publish this review first because I need to start saying this is my favorite product from this brand and I wanted to use this product for a long time before publishing a review because I am always trying to be the most honest and objective respect to my reviews. By the way, this is not a sponsored review I bought this product with my own money online. I started to use this product because I tried a sample that I received with another purchase and after investigating I decided this could be a good product for me.

I have sensitive combination skin now my year was oily sensitive skin and now is combination sensitive skin so I need very careful about which product I integrate to my routine and how. I need to remark that each type of skin is different and has is own necessities, in fact, my skin changes all the time depending on the weather or my cycle.

This is my first time reviewing a product with BHA so today I need to talk a little about BHA and AHA. If you are a skincare seeker like me probably you already know about what I am talking about but this is but If you are new in all this about acids and skincare this could be useful. 

This is an emulsion and now comes the question...

What is an emulsion?

One emulsion is a type of skin care product that is designed to be less dense than a serum and more lightweight in comparison with a cream, lotion or ampoule. But I need to let you now that some essences and emulsions are very similar respect to consistency and concentration, so for me, the emulsions and essences are like very similar. The emulsions and essences are like brothers.

So, in summary, an emulsion is one skin care product that is lightweight and has in a minor concentration of active ingredients and usually is super watery with quick absorption. Respect to key ingredients that depends on the brand and the product.

The emulsions are designed for this type of skin that need lightweights products between the layers of skin care routine because otherwise could be too much. This product helps to complement and balance the skincare routine. 

The bar code~

What are AHA and BHA? 

The first you need to know is that both terms made reference to acids because AHA and BHA are acids. And probably you are asking yourself, How an acid could be something good for my skin? And the reply is simple all is about exfoliation. Both acids help to accelerate the process of exfoliation in our skin like is called like chemical exfoliation. But don´t scary about this, because this is something good. Our skin is renewing every day.

AHA = alpha hydroxy acid and yes is an Acronym.  

These acids are derived from natural sugar fruits and help to increase the process of renewing our skin through the exfoliation. You can see that in very low concentrations but when they are over %4 with a pH acid like 3-4 this product helps to break down the dead cells our skin. The AHAs are better for normal to dry skin because thanks to their chemical composition these are water-loving so despite to provide exfoliation to the surface of our skin they help too provides a moisturizing effect because they are water soluble. 

Examples of AHAs

 Glycolid acid (That is derived from sugarcane) Lactid Acid (Derived from milk), Malic acid (derived from pears and apples), Tartaric acids (derived from grapes) and citric acids.

BHA = beta hydroxy acid

To difference immediately this type of acids with the AHAs, the BHAs are oil soluble while the AHAs are no. The type of BHAs penetrates more deeply in the skin to a difference to the AHAs that are more focused on the surface.  

Examples of BHA

 The very know Salicylic Acid and the Citric Acid and I know I already mentioned that the second one was an AHA but all depends on the formulation. Right now is very known that could be depending on the formulation could be considered a BHA or AHA.

(￣▽￣)ノ And yeah this short class is almost ready

The acids are photosensitive, so is super important  (*ㅇ△ Φ☆)ノ use sunscreen. The sunscreen is not optional is an obligation If you decide use AHAs or BHAs.

Summary:

- AHA: These acids are designed for normal to dry skin or if you are interested in reduce the sun damage or want provides to your skin antiaging effects. 

- BHA: These are designed for oily, acne prone to combination skin where your focus is to reduce the excess of sebum, blackheads to line a maintain a skin more balanced.

Now back to this review and closed the class about acids... this product contains 100 ml which is great (ﾉ^ヮ^)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧

Conclusions

First I need start with the packaging, the packaging is simple and minimalist like almost all the products from this brand and I like that. When I search about this product I found mixed opinions about this one but I decided try for myself this one and see how good or bad this product was. My first impression was oh my God this is super watery and lightweight I was expecting something different but the consistency is very good is very watery and the absorption is quick. The second I noticed was that my skin felt soothed.

I work every day for many hours and after return to the house sometimes due to the stress or bad alimentation or bad sleep or all the before mentioned my skin becomes super sensitive and I can start to watch some redness around my nose and my mouth and is not cute. Using this emulsion helped me to reduce the redness especially on my cheeks.

Provides a moisturizing effect and good luminous effect after using for several days. This helped me too to help faster the pimples scars and that is super good. This product contains a key ingredient that is Centella Asiatica that is a powerful anti-inflammatory ingredient and the Betaine Salicylate that is in a minimal concentration but helps to improves the skin complexion. 

After several months using this product, I must confess that this is now a must have in my daily routine. My skin is sensitive but this doesn´t caused me an allergic reaction and I love it how my skin looks after using this product. This product is definitely something I am going to repurchase because is a great emulsion. My skin looks more healthy and cute and this is something I am not going to stop using in the near future.

[JOLSE] VUE DE PULANG Blur Stick 12g Review

Hi Everyone!

It is already December and I am happy to be here writing this new review. This is the product is from a brand that is new to me VUE DE PULANG and I had the chance to try this brand thanks to one collaboration with Jolse. This is a primer in stick format so I needed a new primer and the packaging an all that offers this brand sounds very promising.

It has been a time since I published a review about a primer but the primers are products that last a long time due I only need a small amount of quantity for my entire face. The importance of primer is because reduce the appearance of large pores and makes our skin softer before the application of foundation or BB cream. Like always all the opinions in this review are based in my own experience with this product.

This is how looks the sticks

Test on my cheek~

PROs and CONs

PROs

- Cute packaging

- Reduce the sebum

- Reduce the appearance of large pores

- Long lasting effect

- A multi-use product can be used as an eyeshadow primer

- Subtle tangerine aroma

- Good price

CONs

- In many countries can be only purchased online (like is my case)

- This product is not suitable for dry skin. 

Conclusions

I really wanted to try this product because sounded so promising but I used like two weeks after I received because I was so busy with work. I have to work for so many hours and like I am constantly busy I don´t have to be retouching my makeup but in the lunch break. I used this product around 6 Am and I was to check my makeup around 12 Pm and for my surprise, my makeup was on point, nothing of dry patches or around my nose with an excess of sebum in the corners. My cheeks are really a problem because the pores there a large and that is not cute but this helped me to reduce the appearance and my skin looks smooth and soft. My makeup was on point even when I returned home to 5Pm. So the long-lasting effect is real and I checked this by myself.

The packaging is so cute remember to me the wonder pore line of Etude House but this is so sophisticated with an empowered woman in front the and holographic material of the box is super cute. 

This primer has a soft tangerine aroma but is very subtle and I love it that because I am very susceptible to aromas because I suffer from allergies. This product contains calamine that is one of my favorites ingredients because this helps to reduce the redness. I must confess that I was a little worried because this stick contains several extracts of different plant oils and like my skin is sensitive I was worried to have a pimple to the next day but the reaction was completely positive. 

I could buy this product because is easy to use, easy to carry, easy to blend with my fingers. I have a sensitive combination skin and probably this product is not suitable for dry skin because could be too much dryness this product provides a matte and healthy effect is not too much mattifying but If you have dry skin probably I could recommend another primer but not this because like you can see in the test the skin looks very matte. By the way, If you apply a juicy cushion or BB cream after use this primer the effect is super cIte. i love it how smooth and pretty looks my skin. This is super convenient and easy for carrying in your makeup bag.

Korean Makeup Haul V

Hi Everyone!

Sincerely I´ve been working so hard but today I have the opportunity to publish a new post today and that makes me feel very happy even when I am with allergy. I am making my best effort to feel better. How I live in a country where I have to fight with the Customs or rather I have to pray for each online purchase. And the postal office is super slow, I am still waiting for around 10 packages but more.

I bought some items that I needed and I wanted so today I will share a little about this haul. This haul is completely bought for me with my own money. Usually, all my hauls are four or five products but that is good I can do this in small hauls. This will be a preview of each product.

COSRX Blackhead Silk Finger Ball

100% natural silk and natural protein sericin remove sebum and blackhead with minimized irritation.
Hard blackhead and impure sebum disappear when met with finger ball.
Convenient use.
Care with reasonable price.

The first time I saw this product was when I checked for the first time this brand and like I suffer of blackheads and whiteheads I was super curious until a few months ago that I decided to buy this item. I am a little excited about to show you the difference on my skin. 

heimish All Clean Green Foam 150ml

Skin soothing and moisturizing pH balancing cleanser.
Eliminates various skin wastes and makeup residue.
Translucent gel type forms mild and smooth bubbles.

I needed to try a new cleanser and this was in my wishlist since a time. This will be my first time trying the brand Heimish and I am excited to know which will be the reaction of my skin and will be my first impression of this brand. I like the simple but neutral packaging.

Nature Republic Shine Blossom Blusher 10g

Natural color and micro pearl create a lively face.
Lovely and gorgeous cheeks.

From time to time I need to buy a new blush. the blushers are something that for some reason last a long time even when I guess I use blush every day for work as part of my simple makeup look. I had in my wishlist this blush and other from Missha but comparing the grams this has like the double and I was like more is better. I have like more than a year without use any product from Nature Republic so I decided this was a good time for that.

the SAEM Saemmul Essential Tint Lipbalm 4g

This makes it essential ingredient moisturizes dry lips.
Aromatherapy essential oils and natural ingredients make the lips moist.
Euneunhage and naturally color.
Dry, dead skin lips make to healthy lips.

Each year I decide to try a new lip balm. This time was the turn of the Saem. I tried the last year the Peripera Milk Moist Lip Balm and was good and had a good quantity of product but the effect was good but not amazing. So I am very interested in to try this new lip balm. 

 (*＾▽＾)／And that was all for this post~ This was my Korean Makeup Haul V that always have something about skincare too. I hope you can find interesting this post. I want to know If you know or has used any of these products. （‐＾▽＾‐） let me know in the comments. Happy day~

Hi Everyone!

November is almost ending and I am not sure how this month was gone so fast but I will continue publishing my posts and this time is about a very known topic in this blog and is about hair extensions. By the way, I remember a few years ago when the hair extensions were something of use only professional but now is something that everybody has in their collection of hair accessories. If you are looking for human hair weave this website is for you. Always is good to have a large variety of options for buy hair extensions and more when we are so close to the black Friday. 

hair blundles

Now my hair has a good length but sincerely I would like to have my hair longer than now. I know that with the right hair extensions that are easy to reach for me so I am not so much worried. Are you thinking about buying hair products in this Black Friday? I don´t know yet even I don´t have a list this year because I dedicated to buying all that I needed between September and October and now I just waiting to receive my packages. But like I sold my old hair extensions I could think to buy a new one. 

Sincerely I prefer the human hair extensions because they look so much cute when you curl with the iron and  I like that I used in the past both the synthetic hair extensions and the human ones and I prefer the natural ones. I must confess that now I want to buy wigs too like a blonde wig that could be fabulous. Like always I want to know your opinions about this website and what you think about the hair extensions too I am always interested in to know what you think about what I publish. I hope this post can be useful to you.

Conclusions

it has been several weeks since I started to use this product and I love it how healthy and pretty looks my hair. The photos of after do not have any edition beyond the watermark with the name of my blog. The luminous and shining hair is completely the after effect of the use of this product. Usually, my hair tangles a lot when I wash my hair but applying this ampoule I can start to feel my hair so smooth and a little warm between my fingers. I start to feel the hair even wet so smooth and soft.

I must confess the effect is very good and I love it how healthy and good looks my hair and I guess is a good investment. I use the flat iron hair at least once per week so I really need to take care of my hair but sincerely I only use shampoo and conditioner and occasionally I use something else for my hair. This has a good lot of amino acids and sincerely I feel my hair more healthy and pretty since I use the second ampoule. The content of each ampoule is 13 ml and with one ampoule I can use twice because with the half of one ampoule is enough for one application in my case.

Recommend this product because the effect is very good and what I am looking for a product that promises a moisturizing effect on my hair? A moisturizing effect. And the luminous effect of this product is great. It is a good deal for me.
