Nature Republic Soothing & Moisture Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel Review


Hello everyone! I am back again with another review :3 This time it is the infamous Nature Republic Soothing & Moisture Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel. I'm sure you all have heard about this product, right? Or was I the only one who doesn't? XD
Well, if you have never heard of this before then you really should read this blog post! I am sure you won't regret it! :)

This product is enriched with 92% aloe vera and it's a mild (perfect for sensitive skin!) formula free from paraben, mineral oil and artificial colours! And the purpose is to use to mildly moisturise various parts of the body such as face, arms, legs and even hair!

How to use: Apply an appropriate amount to dry sensitive parts of the face and body often for the best results.

First impression: It comes in a huge transparent green jar containing 300mL as stated at the package. The gel is transparent, so it is definitely free from artificial colouring like it is described. I love the fact that you get so muchhhhhh when you don't even pay much. I only got it for $10 from Absolute Beauty! 

Pros:

  • lovely subtle aloe scent - super refreshing! Perfect for my tired face, especially after a long day at uni.. (facing sexy books) ;)
  • the gel is thick (not even joking) but its texture is surprisingly really nice and feels really light and get absorbed to the skin super well - needs roughly 20 seconds to get absorbed and leaves no sticky feeling to the skin!
  • soothing to the skin = cooling sensation (from the minute % of alcohol in it) I don't store it at the fridge at all, and every time I apply it, it has that distinct cooling property
  • moisturises the skin! But I wouldn't replace my regular moisturiser with this though because I still don't think it's moisturising enough for my skin
  • ever since I started using this, I can definitely notice my skin getting better - my skin becomes a lot more smoother *I can't stop touching my cheeks* XDD hahahaha
  • ...... *drum rolls* The best part is that there are so many uses of this product! You can get super creative and invent your own method to use this! For me, I use this mainly as a quick refresher (after a long day), as an eye mask and a face mask pack. I tried to use it on my lips and it didn't fail to amaze me at all!! It hydrates really well and my lips would feel so smooth in a tick! I am definitely transferring this baby to a smaller tube for travelling purpose in the near future! *too addicted already :P*
    • Direction for eye mask: I apply a thick layer and leave it on for 20 minutes. I prefer to do this in the morning to soothe and reduce puffy eyes (if I have time of course). 
    • Direction for face mask: I apply a thick layer on and leave it on for 20-30 minutes. Or if I have time to relax, then I would mix it with oil. By mixing with oil, it is not just moisturising, but it's easier to wash it afterwards! Originally, I thought it would be tough to wash off as it's oily but I was wrong :) I myself, use moroccan argan oil. I've read other people's reviews and most recommended to mix with coconut oil as it has a high moisture retaining capacity. But really though, at the end of the day, it's all based on your preference as almost all face oil have pretty good properties
  • And... if you are situated in Perth, or Australia, like me, as we all know, SUMMER is coming and this will be brilliant especially for after sunburn from the beach *youch*! Aloe Vera is perfect for reducing redness.
Overalls: I am so in love with this soothing gel and will definitely repurchase when I am done with this jar. 
If you have not try this product, I don't see any reason not to. Go try! :) I am most definitely sure you won't regret it :D 

Hope the review was helpful! :D 


PS. I can't believe I have more than 500 page views now! It's not much, but I just never expected this blog would grow that quick (after all, it's only been a month!), and I'm actually feeling really motivated to do more reviews for you all to read. Thanks to everyone who reads, comments and emails, greatly appreciated!
Once again, thank you for reading and see you on the next post!♥

Love,
Velene xoxo

      oopsie for late reply! Umm I estimate according to how much fits my entire face, so roughly I used about a tablespoon of the aloe vera gel with 2-3 drops of moroccan argan oil :)

Takami Skin Peel Review

Image
Apparently this is ranked #1 in Japan so I thought to myself, ooh let's try this! It then prompted me to ask the owner at Perth Fabulous Beauty about it, the price ($79) I admit, initially threw me off. I felt hesitant because I asked myself, would I take this bet to try this out if in case it doesn't work out at the end? So after a night's thought, I went to the shop..... and bought it! I have been using this little magic for a week now.. and so far, here are my thoughts. You must be wondering what is this product about right? Well Takami Skin Peel proves to soften and beautify skin. It is said to be that the fluid feels exactly like water with no artificial flavour or any added fragrance. It is also said to "solve a variety of skin problems, such as pores, blackheads, acne, fat particles, etc.." "And if you persist using it everyday, you will certainly see the effects." And just from that rough translation, it felt like I need to try this prod

"Less perfection, more authenticity."

  Authenticity, living life being true to who you truly want to be. Rediscover your authentic self from within. Align yourself to your values and goals and live life authentically, and do not waiver in the face of mediocrity and conformity. May today’s quote (one of my favs) inspire you to be true to who you are. I truly believe that if you’re your authentic self, you have no competition💫 A little personal post today -  I used to own a lil blog where I just write my heart out but for now, I'll spill my thoughts here :) The purpose of our lives is to be happy right? Every time we make a decision, our most important question should be - will it make me happy? Nothing can be greater than our own happiness. It is our life and we need to choose what to do with it. Breathe and keep breathing. Keep trusting the journey you are on. It might not make sense right now. It might feel utterly chaotic and overwhelming. You might feel like sometimes you're living a life that isn't even y

Tokyo Banana Original Review

Image
It has been a while since I did a snack review.... tonight's the night I shall share my opinion of a famous Japanese treat called Tokyo Banana Original  :) Fun fact of the day... Do you know Tokyo Banana expires within 12 days? But it must be consumed within 7 days (in order to taste the original flavour) so you can't keep it too long! *sad* Japan is very well known country with their wide varieties of snacks, in which all of them are very yummy!  If you are not into Japanese snacks, haven't been to Japan at all or have no idea what this is... Tokyo Banana is just a soft plain sponge cake filled with banana custard cream. It's a famous Japanese snack and you can only purchase them in Japan or through online (for more deets, message me)!  It is seriously a MUST HAVE food souvenir when you visit Japan.  From their website, it is said that they come in boxes of 4, 8 ,12 and 16. As you can see, I got the package of 8. Besides the fact that the who
