BRTC Blemish Serum Review

Hello again lovelies, happy weekend~!! (Let's forget that tomorrow is actually Monday again) *sob sob*
today I'm gonna review one of my HG skin care which will benefit all of you with acne prone skin, and sensitive skin.

We'll cut all that talk, since I'm a very big fans of this product, called Blemish serum from BRTC.

I belive in skin care range from innisfree to treat my acne and things, but BRTC skin care range is a different matter, so to cut it short, I belive those skin care product from both BRTC and Innisfree range works the best for me. Since I always use make up range from innisfree, but I tents to use more skin care range from BRTC a lot, (even though I use Innisfree skin care range a lot too~^^).

Which one works faster? I would proudly say, BRTC. When I'm in urgent, using BRTC serum is a really great choice. *truly* like when I have some special upcoming event in a week or so, but my skin looks so damaged with pimples and acne, that's the time when I'm in the urge to use this baby. And this product works fantastically~

My skin has gone to breakout because of wrong product. I actually always review a good products, right? but actually this time, maybe I have this sickening products to review very bad in the near future. That product makes my skin broke out so badly, with very small deadly pimples around my cheeks, and even my nose area, (the one space between both my brows and the nose bridge)--> that is..nightmare..totally nightmare. I thought I was doing good handling all those pimples and break out since 2011-2012, and just really need to take more care about my acne scar, and now my skin goes rampage because of this single product..Guess how terrified my skin is? that's when I find solution, find this product, and use it right away after the package come to my home.

The intensity ot this product is just the very same with my restore serum from BRTC line, that is also my HG to take note~XD

it has the sama blue phyto coloured consistency, but more vivid on the restore serum BRTC than this product.

I love love love this product. I helps me a lot! totally a saver of my skin-life. Not only save my skin form existing pimples and acne, it also preventing upcoming acne. (it would be a double combo if used with restore serum from BRTC-trust me the result is queen-like) tee-hee~ not forget to mention that this products also provides high moisture to our skin at the very same time treat the killing acnes and pimples there~
Really recommended!

Though it's not cheap, let's put on a thought that nothing in the world worth having is cheap right?
and this product also have some minty scent, botanical scent, and If I'm not wrong, a little essence of alcohol scent~I'm not bothered by the smell of the most product actually, it has similar scent to the one's contains tea tree scent~

This product atually made for people out there with excesive sebum, (because most of the pimple and acne appear is from excesive sebum or oil from our oiwn skin), but I personally had a dry-acne prone skin, and it does not bother me, just make sure u put another thing on top of this product like, emulsion, lotion, cream, etc.( again, if you had a dry skin like me, if not, using this single serum for your night-time is enough for your life saver-since it also makes the skin do the job nicely focusing on absobing the only and one products applied on your skin) If I'm too tired, put this only product on my face is enough. No reason to be lazy. Remember, putting your whole skin care is like investing for your own self in the future ahead.

(+)
-treat acne and pimples
-didn't irritate my skin
-fast-saver
-so moisturize my skin

(-)
-might be have a too strong scent for someone who had allergic to the scented product
-for some people might be kind of expensive
-only 30ml >___< *greedy me~LOL

that's for today lads
see you next time~

Good luck and God bless

Innisfree Soybean Energy Essence Review

Hello everyone.. This is Soojung.. ^^

This seems we'll do a lot of product review for this month,since we bought a lot of innisfree product. So i hope you like it. ^^

When we talk about innisfree,what's the best product category in their brand?skincare?base make up?color make up?body?hair?tools or sun care product? 

After we tried many product from them and read other blog,i can say innisfree is the best for skincare and base make up. We never feel disappointing when we tried their skincare and base make up. <3

When i want to buy new product from them i always check the smile rating in their website.
http://innisfree.co.kr

This rating are come from innisfree's customer who write review in their website.. More happy the smile,more high their rating. With these smile,we customers feel more easily to find great/good/so-so/bad product.
Of course not every product have smile like that..few are get bad expression. Last time i read one reason why they give bad expression and it's not because their product bad on skin but because they find a dried caterpillar in innisfree cotton pad. Well..this must be because some mistake on their factory,but if you see the good side from this experience.."Oh then innisfree are true about their 100% natural cotton pad till' a caterpillar still in their cotton pad". :D
This is what we like about innisfree eco friendly campaign.

Then..what product that have a big happy smille ? 

That product is "Innisfree Soybean Energy Essence"

Innisfree Soybean Energy Essence is included in First Treatment Essence skincare category.

First treatment Essence seems really popular since SK II FTE,a lot of korean brand made their FTE ingredients according to SK II FTE. If you already watch Hover unnie video about SK II FTE dupe,you will know few product that silmilar to SK II product.Then..What's first treatmeant essence? If i see in Missha First treatmeant essence,FTE is :

- Highly concentrated essential essence for recovering rhythm of skin

- Essential essence applying at the first step of skin care for firming foundation of skin

- Booster essence to help synergy of skin care

if you see those explanation,you can say FTE is first skincare that you use after cleansing and before toner/skin and it'll help other skincare function.But if i learn from other explanation,first treatment essence is an essence that must use at first skincare step because after cleansing your pores are still "open" so the essence will absorb to your skin completely.Also because they contains highly concentrated ingredients it'll repair your skin more intense.Few brand are contains galactomyces,bifida,black sea cucumber or fermented ingredients. All almost have similar function,moisture,whitening and anti-wrinkle.

Innisfree Soybean Energy Essence is one of SK II FTE "dupe" that i choose to tried out. Let's see the description of product from innisfree global website.Sorry if you can see clearly. Click the picture for better resolution. 

Lazy to read all? this is the point :

- This product contains 91% fermented Jeju soybean concentrate to promote healthy and vibrant skin

 - The main fuction is whitening and anti wrinkle

- It also purify dull skin tone and refine unbalanced skin texture 

- Firm skin barrier to protect your skin from external aggressors

- 6 in 1 functional skincare

- Give soothing & moisturizing effect to illuminate & smooth your skin

- You can use in 2 way :

1. Use cotton pad when your skin feels rough & dull.it'll help to refine old dead skin cells for creating clear skin

2. Use your hand when you witness wrinkle & dryness. Your body temperature will helps formula to absorb into skin and make your skin feeling soft and sleek.

- The texture absolutely not sticky and very light,it looks like toner but have gluey substance.Perfect for hot days and oily skin. But it also can provide moisture to dry skin.

When it arrive,my friend stuff are leaked everywhere and destroy soybean energy essence paper box. it erase the soybean ink and made some letter disappear. T_T

I bought the mini size of this product since i'm a college student who have tight budget. The mini size is 80ml.

This is the explanation on the back + ingredients.First ingredients is bacillus soybean ferment extract for firming and on third ingredients there's arbutin for whitening.

This product have 5 free system 

Fragrance, animal ingredient, mineral oil, artificial colors, and acrylamide

The bottle are made from recycleable plastic which like glass bottle. I personally like the packaging since it really innisfree like.hwhw. 

The texture are like gluey toner,translucent and no fragrance at all. it like water if you not touch. The texture are similar to Hada Labo lotion.Very light and not sticky at all. Suitable for me who have combination oily skin. XD

Result on my face

 (i use it for 3 days,i promise to review it after 1 week but i can't wait..hehe)

- Firming my skin very well..my skin looks more healthy and young (how old i am??) since my pore get more tight. Don't be disappointing if you don't feel anything at first use.At first minute use, i also didn't feel any instant difference on my face (like more supple or something else)..but after few minute,i feel my skin more smooth..and it'll stay all day long if you use it in the morning. If you use at night,it will still smooth (even more smooth) in the morning.You can see the different before and after you use it very clearly day by day. (it always happen when i use innisfree product <3). You know many korean actress/actor/idol's skin are very tight and very smooth right? my skin texture almost like that now (still have few acne scar so not perfect). Also i think it because innisfree wine peeling jelly softener,but even i didn't do my peeling routine..soybean energy essence still smoothing my face (i already prove it). Maybe it's because soybean energy essence can use as peeling too.

- Brighten my skin tone. This effect also not instantly appear after you use it..i usually use this at night,and in the morning my face will shining XD 

- It didn't break me out. Please be careful..Some people can't use fermented extract product at all. It'll irritate your skin and make everything more worse. So if you want tp try fermented extract product like this,make sure that you have tried another fermented extract product before and you're fine with that. Luckily,it didn't irritate my skin and i really happy with the result.(even though i never tried another fermented product). Anyway since it's innisfree,you can little bit feel assured to try out.^^

- Very hydrated. My skin not a dry type,and i don't need very moisturizing product. I just need hydrated product to maintain moisture level on my skin. Many oily skin people didn't realize that their skin get dehydrated because bad excess oil which come out. They feel don't need hydrated their skin and it get more severe. Have you guys ever feel your skin feel rough but oil still come out a lot? that called dehydrated oily skin. You need some product that can hydrated your skin while also control your sebum level. And i think this product including in that category. But if you want hydrated & cool product,you can choose gel type moisturizer product.

- UPDATED : Control my excessive oil. My skin usually will produce some excess oil in the morning,but lately i can't found any excess oil on my face.
My skin seems turn into normal skin type. 

About the price,some of you maybe already know how expensive FTE product. Because i bought the mini size and when it on sale,i get this product at 15.000 won (not including other cost). Local online shop are sell the big size at 370.000 -390.000 and mini size at 240.000-280.000.

This is my first FTE and i LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Very satisfied. XD

5/5 !! (Can i give 6/5?hwhwhw)

Sorry if i talk to much.. ^^

See you in next post. <3

Black Raspberry eye cream Review

Hello again sunshine~
hope you have a wonderful day today^^

I'm gonna review one of my eyecream again. Tee-hee.
It's been almost 2 years since I first used my first eye cream. I remember my first eye cream was skinfood avocado eyecream. It's only have been alomst 2 years, yet I have spent much of my money for these eyecream a lot. LOL . Yeah, a lot.

today I got my first try on raspberry eye cream from skin food again for wrinkle care.
I don't think I have wrinkle but I guess it's like prevention, (as I always said) and like an investments on myself. Though I notice some change from my eyes since I stepping onto my ways of 20th of age. >,<
I lack of sleep because of my college task, exam, mid-exam and final exam, and some frustrating and stress things going on in my life. That's makes my eyes become tired, and all of that things reflect easily on your eyes. Since the skin around our eyes are the most sensitive one, and the most thin layer of all our part of skin.
Ages comes fast on our eyes and neck. That's where we need to take precaution firstly first. Well, it does give me some fine lines around my eyes from lack of sleep, lot of stress, lack of nutrition, lack of green vegetables as well.

We asian are well aware about eye-treatment, since we have our genetics for having eye bags naturally (not because we're lack of sleep or just have been criying all night, some of us just eventually have it.) and we have our genetics around our eye area, where we get some fine lines because of that eye bags. Some of us might get dark circle easily if we lack of sleep.

I got this new baby from Soojung, Black Raspberry eye cream 25ml.

The package was quite cute, it does have this some cap around the top tube glass, and after you put out the cap from the tube..it'll show like this..

And here is some description on the tube: (it's all in korean~>,< except the title of this product)

This eye cream have creamy and rich texture, which commonly found in every single of eye cream all across the world.

And I bought this since I tried the gift sample eye cream I had from skinfood. I tried 3 variant at the same time there, you can see the review "Premium eye Kit review from skinfood (Black Raspberry, Royal Honey, Platinum Grape Cell Eye Cream Review)"

So I actually didin't thought that this cream would have some pinkish colour, (this might not visible enough from the photo) maybe that's because it has some raspberry extracts.
At first I didn't like the smell from this product, but now I'm already used to it. might not a product for you if you didn't like any fragrance product.
This product smell like a wild-fresh-raspberry that you'd found across the mountain. Unfortunately this eye cream has no function such as for concealing or supress my dark circle. Actually since wrinkle prevention would be the first priority for me now.


I could even use this eye cream under my make up, which is awesome. Not all of eyecream would do that since they will glide and smudged your make up around eye and make your eyes like..10 times older.
Just make sure to use it a very thin layer and evenly to avoid eye crackles from foundie or your powder.

Pros:
-Hydrating
-creamy and rich consistency
-the jar is convinient (sturdy glass)

Cons:
-might need some spatula if I were to reach the end of the product-tube
-have a strong smell/fragrance of wild plant
-only 25 ml T^T (despite of all my eye creams I used were 30ml)

Rating: 4.5/5
I like this product, might not repurchase since I'd like to try all kinds of eye cream in the world. Any recommend? Pls share if you do. ^^

See you very soon~

Skinfood wildberry Milk Cleansing Foam (Moist) Review

Hello Everyone~^^
I am a big fan of milk product. Either it is milk, yoghurt, cheese, or beauty products, I'd like to try 'em.
When I was a teenager, (the times when I had no pimple or acne) I'm using milk concetrated cleanser. That product was stop producing in the midst of 2010. So that's when I got my cystic acne growing all over my cheek ( 2011). Sad memories, but that's why even when my skin gets all better now, I'd still trying to search and looking for any milk concetrated cleanser that is good for me. Using plain yoghurt as a cleanser is not a bad idea at all, since it good for my sensitive skin^^

Skinfood wildberry Milk Cleansing Foam (Moist) 150ml
is choosen. I want to try out this cleanser. =))
Honestly, I didn't use it as much as I used my other gel cleanser I used nowadays. Since I was too afraid trying new little things for my face. *duh*
But I already use it several times now, and the result is: it gives me clean and squeaky finish, make my skin feel tight. There's some berry fragrance from the product, it gives out foam formula well.

The consitency is moist and milky with white form foam, and kinda subtle.
The package are just an usual package with tube like any other cleanser too~the design in front are kinda cute for me anyway~ XD (there's an angel there~!)-->oott

Maybe I'd use this more frequently when my acne scar are all gone, and leave a clean canvas to go.

After all, I didn't use this to cleanse my face when I break out from some acne or pimples, just to be safe with my usual daily basis for my skin care routine.

rating: 4/5
repurchase: I don't think so, since I'm still looking for the right cleanser for me out there. Is there any reccomendation for me?=D

Nature Republic 92% Aloe Vera Soothing Gel Review

Nature Republic 92% Aloe Vera Soothing Gel Review

Good day everyone~^^)/

I’m just finished my final exam last Monday and now working on to review some products for us~so tired yet happy and relieved. So much stress lately because of this hectic semester. Still with me? Now let’s get into the showtime. Review time~!

I got this Nature republic 92% Aloe Vera Soothing Gel from Soojung-unnie for my birthday present..>,< so happy. Thank you so much Soojung!! Love ya~ ;*

She is so considerate about my skin condition, so she bought me this product. Yes, indeed, I’m having sensitive skin, and aloe vera was believed to soothe and calms down the skin because of stress. Talking about source of stress, it’s surely everywhere. The task, the polution, the gas emition, non-stop mobilitation, lack of sleep, too much activity, etc.

This baby could be used for many things. This is all-for-one product. I just tried 3 of it, one for the eyes, hair treatment and moisturizer. I was going to make a home-made mask with this. Maybe I should try this out with my oatmeal mask? I’ll update this review as soon as possible when I’d get to try that out~^^

I loooooove it. It really do quite a delicate job to my skin. It really makes my skin relax for its coolness. (can I put it in a refrigerator anyway? Anyone did this? I’m really curious about putting it on a refrigerator before the usage)

Stimulated by the sun, this gel relaxes your all reddish and dried face, arm, leg, and whole body, it also gives good moist. Especially it is made of 92% aloe vera which is approved.
fresh feeling and fast absorption. it gives no sticky face but relaxed feeling.

I like the gel-consistency. For us who had sensitive skin, it’s kinda difficult to pick moisturizer to be used. Too creamy could clog our pores, and too rich (more liquid) could make the skin condition gone worsened. So the gel-type one was know good for us who had sensitive skin.

I have terrible experience with cystic acne because I pick wrong cleanser and wrong moisturizer. What’s really important for sensitive skin is what kind of daily basis you put on your face (cleanser, moisturizer, toner, lotion, etc). And I think this aloe vera gel is not a bad idea to be your moisturizer.

But I want to share something, when I first used it, it wasn’t go well with my skin, so that I didn’t use it for quite some time. Using it when you had cystic acne is not a good option I guess (at least for me). If you have some deadly pimples (jerawat batu/open-scar pimple), I recommend you to not using this for awhile, in my experience, it could clog your pores. But I’m still using it when I had little pimples but not deadly (usual pimples) and it helps to calm it down. Ever heard about, “something that too much or too little, never good for you.”

But after some time, my skin healed and I’m starting to use it again as a daily basis for now. I’m using it at a moisturizer, and this product dries quickly into our skin, so it’s free to re-applied it again and again after some time. (I re-applied it 3-4 times) it doesn’t make me feeling thick or anything, but when the times comes for me to wash my face, I could feel a bulk of layer of Aloe Vera gel on my face. XDXD

When that method may be effective on one person, it may not prove effective on other people. It is better that the first thing that you should do is to know your skin type and skin condition, and know the reason for your acne condition. With this, you would find the most effective skin treatment for your acne. For me, I find it effective to cure your acne first, and then go along with the treatment for acne or scarring. I’m using BRTC Restore serum for my case. I already did some review about it~^^

This aloe vera gel also one of my daily skin care now ^^. For my case, I wouldn’t use it too much, and yeah it’s 300 ml so it would took me a lot time to finish all of this product.

PROS:

-Jelly/gel consistency which is good for sensitive skin like me

-the products is plenty

CONS:

-the package not really hygenic for me

-can clog your open pores if you used it too much at one time

rating: 4.3/5

repurchase: I want to try 100% aloe vera gel (^^)/*
