Empties + Sorry

 Sorry, I haven't blogged in a while. It's my last year at uni and it has been hectic. But I'm back with an empties post.

I'm really happy with my efforts to scale down my used products. My dad has plans to renovate the house and so I need to get through my products, because I really don't want to have to package them as well. Anyway lets dig into the empties tray and see what I have finished. I just want to point out that when I state that a product is worth repurchasing, that does not mean I'm going to repurchase it right away.

Evening Skincare Routine

Today, I thought I should do a blog post on one of my favorite posts that I enjoy reading, which are skincare routines. I love reading about new products and how they work for other people. As you may already know, I love trying out different brands of skincare products. I have still not found my all time holy grails, the reason why is because I just tend to get wanna try something new. I have split my skincare routines into a morning and evening posts. Let's start with the evening one first.

Monthly Empties - July

I had written this post at the beginning of the month but since I was so busy I did not have time to take the photos. So finally today I did manage to quickly snap up these photos. Let's dig in shall we.

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.

Empties #5

This time I haven't gotten around to finishing as much products as last time. I have been really good in that I haven't opened any new products. I'm trying to finish everything that I have open right now. I can control myself when it comes to skin care because I like to completely finish the product and then open something new, but when it comes to body care products I just cannot do the same. I have about 5-6 bottles of body lotions open and they are all over the house, in the bathroom, bedroom, near my bed, near my desk, and on my dresser. I WILL finish them without opening another one. Anyway let's see what I finished this time.

Empties #4

There is no better way to start the new year, than to have a basket of empties to throw out. I have finished so much products that have been laying around my room and my bathroom basket. I'm trying to use up as much as I can because we will be renovating the bathroom soon and also I will be changing my bedroom also. So I want to finish any open products just to make the moving process easier.   

It's Skin Prestige Creme D'escargot Review

Would you put snail slime on you face??

Will snail creams/products have been all the rage in Korea, and I just kept on hearing great reviews about the It's Skin Prestige Creme D'escargot. This snail slime, is supposedly the creme de le mer of snail creams. So while browsing around the It's Skin Gmarket shop, I noticed that they were having, from what I remember a 30-40% off everything in the store. So without thinking twice I added this cream and the serum in the same line to my cart and about one week later they were in my hands.

Amount: 60mL

Made in: Korea

Purchase: G-market

 Price: 60 000 won ($55.45)

There wasn't any English information on the packing except for these four lines,
              -E.G.F. Lifting Care Program
              -Whitening & Reduces Wrinkle Care Program
              -Trouble & Repairs Care Program
              -Smooth & Moisturizing Care Program 
It really sucks when a product does not come with english information. Oh well. With just these four lines I'm guessing that this cream is a all in one type of thing. You know what I mean right, trying to fix everything in just one step.

When I got the cream I was in the middle of using something else so I just placed it with all of my other unused products. Will after a while I got a huge pimple on my chin and I used everything on it. But they just did not work, even my trusty Naurko Niaouli & Tea Tree T-Zone Blackhead Remover and the Oil Out Targeted Treatment did not work. I just remembered that this cream was amazing for this. So out it came and I'm the kind of person that does not open two skincare products at once because they do have an expiry date and I just hate wasting money like that. But desperate times call for desperate measures.

I applied the cream at night and just hoped that it would do something. This is the amazing part the pimple decreased in size and by a lot. So the next night I applied it again and the pimple was gone. It just disappeared. I was surprised that it worked and worked so fast too. 

The texture is very light, almost like a cream-gel hybrid. Sinks in wonderfully with no stickiness. But sadly it did nothing for me besides that pimple incident, no whitening, anti-aging or any of the other claims and promises. It was just a moisturizer, and a simple one defiantly not worth the price.

Repurchase?  No, but I might if it was on a good deal.

Love,
Sakura

G-market Haul #3

Hello, I'm so bad I haven't even got about to reviewing/using most of the items from my previous G-market hauls and I just keeping on buying more stuff. I blame G-market so been so addictive, I no longer can go to the site for "just" browsing I end up on the checkout page without even noticing my self anymore.

This what I look like when shopping online.

Now take a look at what I brought.

 Everything came in this HUGE box.

The inner boxes.

First up, MIZON, I have not heard/seen this brand before. I was mostly interested their BB cream. I did make a mistake I wand the Snail BB cream but actually order the snail eye cream. I'm not that mad because Snail cream are a huge hit in Korea right now.

MIZON

I brought the Watermax BB Cream, the snail repair eye cream and they had a special for the Sun Block SPF 50 PA+++, buy one get one free. They gave me 3 face sheet masks, a full sized eye cream and a small packet of various samples.

Holika Holika

Holika Holika had a great sale, and I managed to just settle with these items, the Daily Garden in green tea, acerora, aloe. The 3 seconds starter in the collagen and also the BB Roller cream. The rest were gifts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's Skin the Prestige line 

 

 

 

 

The above two items were the most expensive items in my order, I have heard so much good reviews about these two, so fingers crossed. They gave me the mini gift set as a gift.

More It's Skin

I also got two of they Power 10 serums and the Prestige BB cream, another BB cream and they had a two for one sale on the sun screen.

And, last but not least Daal Story. I first heard about this brand on Hope in a Blog, and they said that Daal Story is a sister brand of Skinfood, which explains why it can in a Skinfood box.

Daal Story

I only brought one item, just to try out the brand and see if I like it. The serum was quite expensive, but when I got the item I noticed that it was a huge 100mL bottle, so YAY!!.

I love how fast everything arrived and plus this order I received about 5,000 Won back from my total shipping fee. But I don't know how to use it. 

Love 

Sakura.
