SooRyeHan Boyun Extra Moisturizing Emulsion- REVIEW

SooRyeHan is modern science's reproduction of seosiogyongsan.
SooRyeHan was created by introducing ogyonseosisan (a standard of Korean medicine),a secret formula from Dongeuibogam used by Xishi,to the skin science of oriental medicine.

Xishi is considered the most beautiful among the four major of China, and the secret of her beauty was ogyongseosisan. Described in Dongeuibogam, Ogyongseosisan is a secret formula that gives the face a fair appearance. It consists of 14 oriental medicine substance and was named to convey that it "makes the face appear fair like jade". According to Dongeuibogam, ogyongseosisan helps control skin problems and is effective at preventing liver spots, blemishes and signs of aging.

SooRyeHan is aimed at younger women aged 25-35, their main focus is oriental Chinese and Korean medicine. It aims to works gently on the skin to moisturize and nourish it and to help give it a clear and healthy appearance.      

Today I will be reviewing the SooRyeHan Boyun Extra Moisturizing Emulsion, which came as part of a set with a matching emulsion, eye cream and smaller (80mL) sized toner and emulsion.

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

Isa Knox MX-II Platinum Recovery Emulsion Review

Hi

I'm back with another review YAY!. As the title suggest I will be reviewing the emulsion from the Isa Knox MX-II Platinum line. I have previously reviewed the lotion and gave detailed information on the ingredients in the line, so if you want you can check it out.  

  Amount:100mL
Made in: Korea
Purchase:G-market
Product Info:A high concentration of beneficial ingredients to supply abundant 
nutrition to the skin.
Product Instruction:After applying lotion and serum, take 2-3 pumps and 
spread evenly along the skin and patting gently to 
help with absorption.
Firstly I have to say that this emulsion was very thick, but we will get to that later. I was this product as part of my morning and night skincare routine. Its quite rear for me to do this but since I was this during  winter, when my skin was so dry it really helped keep my skin feeling very moist and super plump. 

I was so confused with the instruction, it says 2-3 pumps but the product does not come with a pump, which for me its a big NO NO. Specially since the product is so thick in texture, its more like a cream. For me to get the product out I had to remove the stopper that comes with the bottle and bang the GLASS bottle onto the palm of my hand for me to get it out.

I think its a great product for those who suffer from dry skin, even through the product was very thick it absorbed really fast into my skin without leaving and stick residue. I just have one thing to say about the bottle and just wished that they would have added a pump not only would it have been more hygienic but it would have my my life so much easier.

Would I repurchase? No, because I brought this as part of a set and I still have a lotion, emulsion and serum to use up.

Love 
Sakura.
