@torileesbeautymix | Latest Stylevana goodies!

My fave of the bunch is the WELLDERMA - G Plus Silver Peptide Ampoule!
Look at that texture
This ampoule works to regenerate our skins elasticity (which is one of the things I’m really noticing my skin is losing). It’s good for wrinkles, smoothing, and of course firming. It has a 5-peptide complex that penetrates into the dermis layer to really help to improve that lost elasticity! This one is truly an anti-aging powerhouse!!
Subsequently I’ve been kind of pouring it over my skin, hehe!
It just feels amazing to massage in and to know my skin is being treated with such goodness!
Haruharu WONDER - Black Rice Hyaluronic Anti-wrinkle Serum is super hydrating and lightweight and is good for all skin types. The Black Rice HA is a great wrinkle defense as it works to smooth out the skin. I will continue to use this as I really love how soft my skin feels after applying.
So it’s my first snail cream! Bellflower - Black Snail Cream for Vitalizing is such a nice cream to strengthen and energize the skin. I’ve used this in the am after cleansing and using the HA black rice serum. The snail filtrate works to really help remove dead skin cells and stimulate cell renewal (which of course is essential to keeping our skin looking younger!). The black snail excretion also helps to exfoliate the skin. I will also continue using this baby because my skin seems to be loving it!
I’m also loving the Farmstay Collagen Rolling Eye Serum. The roller ball application feels amazing under the eyes (and on my eyelids) particularly in the morning #yesplease
I posted a reel showcasing all of these beauties yesterday and they are all excellent skincare products. I’m super lucky to get to test them and that my skin does so well with trying so many different products!

@aj_sensitive_skincare | Rapid review of some Stylevana goodies

@farmstay_official Char-Coal Pure Cleansing Foam
This is a great for a deep clean. Definitely for resilient acne prone oily skin. Other skin types should use more sparingly I think.
@official_haruharu Honey Green Cream
I love this stuff! It’s lightweight but hydrating at the same time. Love that it contains honey. Ive been slathering it on my dry areas like around my eyes and mouth at night and using it like a hydrating spot treatment.
@g9skin_official Grapefruit Vita Peeling Gel
It’s no secret I was never sold on peeling gels before joining IG but this one is goood. Smooth like a baby’s butt I kid you not. I definitely need a bigger one.
@heimish_cosmetic All Clean Pink Clay Purifying Wash Off Mask
This is effective. But with a disclaimer. Not suitable for sensitive skin. Really jam packed with essential oils and I was a nervous wreck using it. I did get some hives (which I expected). Resilient oily skin may love it.
@isntree Micellar Washing Cleansing Water
I loveeee micellar waters! This is no exception. So good. And the bottle is huge.
@vtcosmetics_global Spot Patches
Gone are my days of being the last Instagrammer to try acne patches lol. Finally I have some. Unfortunately since I’ve received these I haven’t had a spot to test them on but I did use one just to see how it stuck on and how it looked. Very transparent and adheres well. Excited to use on a spot!! Will keep you posted on my stories.
@thankyoufarmer Sun Project Shimmer Sun Essence
What a beautiful sunscreen! No whitecast. Beautiful slight shimmer. Maybe oiliest skin won’t like it? I’m not sure. I like the glow. The finish is hydrating. Chemical filters. Perfect size for travel and the packaging is pink!
@pyunkangyul Essence Toner
I’ve reviewed this before more than once. I’ve gone through countless bottles. It’s amazing. If you haven’t tried it yet, you need to. You’re missing out so hard. It’s suitable for every skin type and perfection in a bottle.
More reviews to come stay tuned!

@thesheepylife | Reviewing Kumano Cosme Reihaku Hatomugi UV Milky Gel SPF 31 PA+++

REVIEW // Kumano Cosme Reihaku Hatomugi UV Milky Gel SPF 31 PA+++ (PR)
Swipe for the finish 15 mins after application, and a texture video!
For context, I have oily acne-prone skin (I have PCOS), and I live in a hot and humid climate.
Here are some main points:
Japanese chemical sunscreen
3 organic UV filters
Star ingredient Job’s Tears
Contains fragrance
Contains ethanol
Dewy finish
No white cast
The sunscreen agents are Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Octocrylene, Hexyl Diethylaminohydroxybenzoylbenzoate.
This also contains Hatomugi extract (Job’s Tears), mineral oil, squalane, hyaluronic acid, and tea.
This took 2 minutes to apply, and I’m sure I applied too much in this video lol. With that said, if I applied less I believe it could take only one minute and have a less dewy finish.
While it does have a dewy finish, much of the dewiness in the photo is actually from sweat lol so it’s not AS dewy as seen in the photo.
This was lightweight yet moisturising, with no pilling, no eye irritation, and no stickiness. It has a light scent that becomes unnoticeable after application.
I think this would be suitable for face and body for most people, unless you have alcohol or fragrance sensitivity (which I do not).

@pearl_and_bubbles | highly recommend this blush!

"""NEW K-BEAUTY REVIEW⁣
Romand - Better Than Cheek blush in 07 Pear Chip ⁣ ⁣ ⁣
Product Features:⁣
My Cheeks But Better - creates a healthy looking blush with ultra fine pigments⁣
Blur blusher effect - powder coated with silicone to refine the skin texture⁣
Long-lasting effect - powders absorbs sweat and sebum for a matte finish, helping makeup to last longer ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣
My Thoughts:⁣ ⁣ This is the first K-beauty blush I’ve ever tried (also the first blush ever XD) and I’m really pleased with how it turned out! ⁣ ⁣
Pear Chip is a warm, peachy nude shade which works well with my neutral slightly warm skin tone! It applies and blends easily on the skin due to the silicone formula.⁣ ⁣
This blush leaves a soft, blurring matte finish which looks very flattering on the skin (doesn’t dry out my drier areas at all )! ⁣ ⁣
It’s also long lasting as claimed - I can still see it on my cheeks at the end of a day at work
Only downside for me was the packaging - it has a very secure closure with a satisfying snap but I find it a little difficult to open (seems like its just me though XD)⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣
Overall Rating:⁣ ⁣ 4.5/5 ⁣ ⁣
Overall would highly recommend this blush! The shade range is also quite good (and inspired by fruits!)⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Visit my blog Pearl and Bubbles (link in Bio) for the full review with pics!⁣ ⁣ Have you tried any Romand products? Share your thoughts in the comments! Have an awesome day! Linn~ ⁣"""
