Etude House CC Cream in #1 Silky Review

Image
BB cream, CC cream... DD cream?! The trend of BB Creams has now been exceptionally popular worldwide after its success in the asian markets for the past few years. CC Cream was developed to retain all the skincare properties of BB Cream while providing skin correcting makeup. Etude House has two options in their CC Cream line, #01 Silky and #02 Glow. I received the Silky one for free (for review purposes) before exams and now I'm here to share my opinion on my first CC cream ever. The texture is exactly that, silky, smooth, without shimmer or shiny particles. So I guess, we all heard of CC Creams right? :D Let me debrief you all quickly.... CC stands for colour corrector. And it claims to be a mix between skincare and makeup, a more better, in terms of a skincare product, than BB cream, but less coverage/sheerer than BB cream. First impression:  When it comes to Etude House’s products, the packaging is always the first one to capture our attention. And this one is no ex

Regen Cosmetics 2 Step Synergy Effect Mask [Pore] Review

Image
Hello peeps! :) How are we all? So I'm back for a review post for y'all to read :) Do youse miss me? JOKES JOKES. Thought I do a quickie one before I leave overseas (for a holiday) soon as I have already finished my exams few days ago! WOOHOO! I hope I did the papers justicee too X) Part of my skincare regime is to slap on a mask at least once or twice a week (eventhough it's very hard to maintain this routine during the semester). Now I've tried plenty of different sorts of masks especially from Korea and Taiwan, but I haven’t quite stumbled upon any mask quite like this one… TA-DA! The Regen Cosmetics 2 Step Synergy Effect Mask for Pore~ [pic: left] I received these masks for free (for review purposes) a month ago. Finally tried these out as of few days ago (after exams) to de-stress my tired face. Have you ever heard of the brand, Regen ? If you are Korean, well this should be very familiar to you. I personally have known Regen for quite a while now. It

Espoir Pro Intense Cleansing Toner Review

Image
Well hello hello hello :) Thought I do another (short) review before the agony of studying for exams 24/7! Here comes the product I want to review for you all: This product, Espoir Pro Intense Cleansing Toner  give the best care for any skin condition. It's okay if your skin is either oily, combination or sensitive because this cleansing is good for all skin types. I used this, of course, to clean my makeup. I really like this as it cleans off the makeup (really well!) without the use of water or cleansing foam. Though I only receive a small size, it has worked wonders and I am determined to get this goodie once I finish using my cleansing oil. Have you tried this? What's your thoughts? I will be back (reviewing) soon after my exams! And will do at least few more reviews before I go overseas :D Stay safe and happy everyone! Love, Velene xoxo *I received this product for free for review purposes. All opinions are honest and my own*

Etude House My Lash Serum Review

Image
Helloooo there! :) Today's review will be about this cute little thing here.. I received this a couple of months ago for free (for review purpose), but I did not use it everyday though, as I sometimes can't be bother or just don't have the time to do that extra step in caring my lashes. But, for the sake of this review, I used it for two weeks straight and hence a review now! :D The reason I was keen to try this product out was because I have really short lashes (typical asian here!).You can barely see it and I hate applying mascara (as I have to apply so many coats and sometimes it just smudges and arghh that frustration, maybe it's just me though... hmm) and in fact, I also have a fear of curling my lashes :( It's really depressing and actually already trying to accept it. And I know there are all these products out there with serum promising but because majorities are out of my budget, I just wouldn't try something if I cannot be sure of. I know that t

Tony Moly Panda's Dream "So Cool" Eye Stick Review

Image
According to Tony Moly, they states that this product is "a hard-to-find Korean skin treatment that instantly de-puffs and revitalizes tired, dry eyes with a cooling, moisturizing sensation" . Hmmmm.... First impression: I picked this up mainly because of the cute packaging and because I saw I would be able to review it as well (that is how I justify my purchases these days). The product itself is a pale blue colour. It is in a stick form and a bit sticky when touched initially. The first time I used it I thought it felt like I was using a glue stick! However once on the skin it doesn't feel sticky at all. It also doesn't drag at all on the skin, which is good for the sensitive skin in that area. The smell is quite subtle as well which I like. The product lays a cooling sensation on the eyes which I love as it feels very relaxing. My under-eye bags aren't that bad so I haven't noticed any difference in them. They also provide a nice hydr
