Isa Knox MX-II Platinum Eye Cream

This is my last review for the Isa Knox MX-II Platinum line, it's the eye cream. I have really enjoyed using this line, it helped keep my skin well moisturized during the winter.

Shiseido Benefiance Concentrated Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream

As we all know that the eye area is the first part of the face that begins to show the signs of aging. When it comes to skincare I believe that prevention is better than curing later on. I also believe that it is never too early to start using an eye cream, just make sure to buy one that is most suitable to your age and your concerns. I should point out that must Shiseido products are really expensive in Australia and I have not tired many products from them. I also never purchase any high end products in Australia without them being on sale. This cream retails for $55 to $77 and I couldn't justify they price, so when I saw it on sale for $35 on Sasa.com during the International Women's Day Sale. I just had to have it. 

It's Skin Prestige Serum D'escargot - REVIEW

I have been meaning to write this review for the longest time now, but I just forgot about until now when I was going through my photos. Snail creams have been/still are a big this in Korea right now. It's Skin Prestige D'escargot has been a must try, I tired and did not see what all the rave was about. Today I will be reviewing the Prestige Serum D'escargot.

Berrisom Total 8-in-1 Perfector Eye Cream - REVIEW

While reading a fellow bloggers G-market haul, I was in the process of ordering from G-market. So I read that this eye cream came with a full sized serum from the same line so I added it to the cart and checked out. I have had it in my new, unused products box for quite a while, during winter I finished my eye cream and decided to open this one.

 

SooRyeHan Hyo Biyeon Eye Cream- REVIEW

Today I will be reviewing the eye cream that came with the SooRyeHan skincare set that I brought from G-market. The set came with a toner, emulsion, ginseng essence and cream. I have used this set for the past three months and now that they are close to finishing I thought I should let you know how I felt about them.

  

If you haven't read my previous reviews on the SooRyeHan toner and emulsion I really suggest you do so, because I have the full information on the SooRyeHan line. So basically, SooRyeHan is based on Oriental medicine and based on the reigning beauty of Xishi, who is considered to be one of the most be beautiful women of ancient China. So let's dig into the review. 

Empties #1

Hi, today I have an empties post. I have been reading and loving these kind of post lately, so I decided to do that as well. I don't know if I can do a monthly empties post because I just won't have enough products to talk about. But these posts to encourage me to use up products a lot faster. So lets dig in.  

Garnier Body Intensive 7 days Hydrating Lotion- 400mL         
I have the one in Aloe Vera, its a nice body lotion great for summer. Provides moisture without leaving any stickiness on the skin. Sinks in to the skin very quickly. Does it leave the skin moisturized for 7 whole days. No, it doesn't.
Repurchase? Yes, already have.

Bath & Body Works P.S I Love You Triple Moisture Body Cream- 226g
This is a very thick cream, I really enjoyed using this during the colder months. Despite it being very thick in texture, my dry skin absorbed this very quickly. Towards the end I had to cut it open to use up and to my surprise there was quite a lot of product left. I wasn't really into the fragrance but it wasn't very strong and didn't last a long time.
Repurchase? No, we don't have Bath & Body Works in Australia :(

TonyMoly Floria Whitening Capsule Essence- 50mL
I got this a long time ago and had an on-off relationship with it. While I did love the brightening effect, I think and I'm not sure but when I used this on a daily basis I would get little bumps on my face and mostly forehead. It did not whiten my skin, but it gave a brighter look to it, however that did not last too long either.
Repurchase? No, I have way too many other serums/essences to try out.

Naruko Lupin Anti-Wrinkle Friming Serum- 30mL
I did a review on this here. I really like this serum, every thing from the texture to the smell. While I did  not notice any firming effects, I also don't have any wrinkles on my face, yet. A gel like texture that sinks into the skin very fast and evens out the skin.
Repurchase? Yes, if I make another order from Naruko. 

Mizon Snail Repair Eye Cream- 20mL
This cream promised a lot, but did not deliver anything. Promising to diminish fine lines and even improve deep wrinkles, and remove dark circles. No, it did nothing for me except provide sufficient moisture without feeling heavy.
Repurchase? No, I still have one that come part of a set, so I might do a review. 

Clinique Even Better Skin Tone Corrector- 30mL
I didn't use them up both by myself. One of them belonged to my mother who just could not stand the fragrance and gave it to me, just when I finished my one. While it does state that it's 100% fragrance free, there is a chemical smell to it. I just can't throw it out because of the smell so I forced myself to use it up. I think it did a good job of evening out the skin.
Repurchase? No, I can't stand the smell.

Isa Knox MX-II Platinum Recovery Skin- 100mL
You can read the review here. A quick review its was really nice to use and I will be using the other set next winter, because I just think its too moisturizing during summer and I have dry skin so it better for winter.
Repurchase? No, because I have another set to use.     

Isa Knox MX-II Platinum Recovery Emulsion- 100mL
Reviewed here. This is a thick, very thick cream. I'm call it a cream because it was literally a pain is the @$$ to get out of the bottle. They should have thought of adding a pump instead of having me to bang this on my palm very day. While it was so thick, it surprises me of how quick it absorbs and how soft it makes my skin.
Repurchase? No, because I have another set to use.   

Sooryehan Boyun Extra Moisturizing Cream- 25mL
I got two of these deluxe sample/travel sized as part of the Sooryehan set that I brought from G-market. A nice moisture that sink into the skin without leaving and residue or shine. It smells very floral, but this goes away very quickly. A great cream with beautiful packing details on the lid and even come with a spatula.
Repurchase? No, because I have another one to use up.

That's all for this post. I will do another empties post when I have enough products.


Love,
Sakura

Shiseido Bio-Performance Super Eye Contour Cream Review

Hi, I have a week off uni and while I cannot say that I have no essays due, but I'm not as busy so I thought I would do a review today for you. As the title suggests I will be reviewing the Bio-Performance Super Eye Contour Cream, such a long name.

Amount: 15mL

Made in: Japan

Price: $33.20 (Sale)

Purchase: Shiseido counters, Sasa.com, ebay etc.
Product Info: Super Eye Contour Cream has been developed with 

Wrinkle-Targeting Complex, to address wrinkles and fine lines

even before they form. This complex combines the unparalleled re-texturizing

capabilities of a vitamin derivative with botanical Gambir Extract to restore and

preserve skin smoothness.

 Product Instruction: Apply as the last step of your skincare routine, 

press pump once to dispense cream into fingertip.

Gently massage cream into eye area with pads of index, middle and ring 

fingers, beginning at the inner corner of the upper lid and circling the eye.

I must point out that I'm starting to notice a few fine lines under my eyes 

and I have always heard/read that its never too early to start using an eye cream.

Its a very thick cream and less than one pump is enough for both of my eyes, 

if you follow the instructions and massage the cream will into the eye area it will absorb 

perfectly without leaving and residue or a sticking feeling.

With that been said I only use this at night because I found that when I

used this during the day, My concealer/BB cream just slip and slid 

around the eye area. 

Let's move onto the packing, its housed into a very luxurious pump bottle, 

the most hygienic design for skincare. Shiseido have also added a 

flap to keep the product safe if you are traveling. The bottle is made of plastic, while is 

keeps the bottle feeling light. I do prefer companies that are quite expensive to come with

glass packing, oh well.

I have been using this for the past three weeks and I have seen an

improvement, a few lines did go away so I'm hoping that with continued use it

will just keep on getting better.

I bought this from sasa.com, while they were having a sale and it was just $33, considering 

that if you buy this at a Shieido counter in Australia it will cost you $115.

It take no math to see the price difference. Sasa have this for $47 now, just keep as eye 

on them because they are always having sales.

Repurchase: Yes, when they have a sale ;)       

Love 

Sakura
