After a long, busy and stressful week, I must treat myself with a well-deserving relaxation. Due to COVID pandemic, I'm not yet comfortable getting spa services somewhere. Now, there's a spa-like experience that you can do at home through Yon-Ka Paris Massage Candle Taiga. This is the first massage candle I’ve tried and it provided me (and my husband) a pleasant self-care experience.
I've been eyeing on Caudalie for a while and finally the brand gifted me with their Vinopure 4-Step Collection. This line consists of cleanser, toner, serum and moisturizer. They are perfect for people who have oily to combination skin types. The products are heavily-scented but its natural fragrance so it’s still good to me. They smell like the calamansi fruit and a bit of citronella.
In line with hundreds of Korean beauty brands out there, is relatively new face called Be The Skin. It's the first time I heard of the brand and apparently, there's not much to see about it on google yet. Stylekorean sent me a skincare set from Be The Skin to try. The brand may be a newbie to my ears but I actually had a good experience using these products.
Since I've been constantly wearing masks, my skin becomes sensitive. Rashes sometimes appear on my cheeks and whenever this happens, I cut down on my skincare products. I also discovered that Propolis help with skin irritation through my use of By Wishtrend Polyphenols in Propolis 15% Ampoule. The product was gifted to me by the brand and it is really good!
A couple of months back, the brand launched another product: Pro-Biome Balance Cream which also contains Propolis Extract. Let's see how this newbie helps with my skin sensitivity.
Do you like the pear fruit? I do. Do you know that it can be an ingredient for skincare too? I'm From is known to use natural ingredients for their products and they did it again on this pair: I'm From Pear Soothing Pad and Serum. Wishtrend sent me these new goodies and it's now time for my review.
And just like that, it's May and almost the middle of the year! Two weeks ago, I received these two products: ELMT Advanced Calming Solution and Gentle Exfoliating Solution. ELMT (pronounced as Element) is the latest brand Wishtrend is offering. I use them both as my toner, one for the day and the other before bedtime. After two weeks of use, here are my thoughts:
One thing about skincare reviews, I get to understand products' ingredients and know plants that I have never heard of. Like this one from a Kbeauty brand L'Essential, please welcome Rhodiola Rosea. Apparently this plant is rich in antioxidants and flavonoids. Studies show that it provides anti-aging benefits for the skin. Since I'm already in my 30s, I'm all for products that will alleviate fine lines and mature skin.
The brand gifted me with two products from their Rhodiola line. Here are my thoughts:
I've seen L'Essential on my instagram feed since December of last year. Luckily, I was approached to try and review their products. I googled them to understand the brand more but there's not much to see yet so I assume they must a newcomer in the KBeauty industry. They sent me products twice as the first PR package got lost in the mail. It’s all good now so let's jump right in:
You may have seen Vegreen a few times on Instagram. This newcomer brand focuses on skincare that is cruelty-free and contains safe ingredients. Even their packaging is eco-friendly too. They use sugarcane residue for their boxes and soy ink for printing. Vegreen gifted me with two of their products and after 2 weeks of use, it’s time to share my thoughts about them.
