When I first received this in the mail and read the ingredients, my heart skipped a beat. I'm a sucker for rose-scented curios so this toner got me excited, especially with its relatively short but sweet ingredients list. Given my previous mild breakout with Unik's Black Snail Serum however, I had to err on the caution with this product. Disclaimer : I received this toner for review purposes, courtesy of Unique4u.net however this does not influence my opinion of this product. Claims 'This toner can help to make moisturising, rebalances and softens the sensitive skin with rosa damascena flower water 70% from the most famous roses and galactomyces ferment filtrate 10%.' Packaging 200 mL of toner contained in a transparent, plastic bottle. I like being able to monitor how much product I have left, so this gets a large tick from me. Ingredients Rosa damascena flower water (70%), galactomyces ferment filtrate (10%), butylene glycol...

Sometimes I worry that you'll get tired of reading about Moonshot, then I see some of my most read posts are their products and I think you guys are still hungry for more. Am I wrong? Let me know and I'll try tossing my money at other brands :P Claims Melting Balm Foundation formulated with various essential oil and shea butter compound for perfect skin complexion. It delivers soft, flawless, and glowing finish. Packaging 30g contained in a frosted glass jar. There's 2 plastic lids; an outer, glossy black screw top lid and an innerlift top lid. The second lid is virtually useless since it came off during transit and stuck itself to the underside of the black lid. I purchased this in a limited edition package that came with their S101 brush, a travel-sized buffing brush. Ingredients WATER, CYCLOPENTASILOXANE, CYCLOHEXASILOXANE, ETHYLHEXYL METHOXYCINNAMATE, GLYCERIN, SYNTHETIC WAX, BIS-STEARYL DIMETHICONE, CETYL ETHYLHEXAN...

Disclaimer: I received this product from Benton in exchange for a review however this does not affect my opinion of the product. I'm super thankful to brands and companies that hold competitions for product reviewers. It means small, shabby potatoes like me can save a few bucks and still indulge in the experience of testing out a new item whee~ Benton is one such brand to pay attention to, and not just because they hold giveaways haha. They're cruelty free and produce affordable products with great ingredients. I've used their Snailbee Essence before and loved it because it's the first product I've used that clearly reduces my redness. Needless to say, I was very excited to have the opportunity to try out their latest creation. Claims - Lightweight texture - Suitable for Summer - Moist finish - Water-oil balance - Mild formula 'Benton’s Cacao Moist and Mild Cream is a lightweight cream made of healthy ingredients. Having a light texture, e...

Disclaimer:   I received this for free from unique4u.net in exchange for a review. However this does not affect my opinion of this product.  I was researching content for uni, and the next minute I realised half my tabs were all to do with internet shopping. At some point I came across Unique4u who was doing a giveaway of the Unik Black Snail Restore serum and my lucky ass who was on a semi-strict no-buy period at the time was one of the ones to ask and receive. I've never heard of this brand before; according to the website they're a new brand and 'Unik' stands for Unique & Natural Ingredients Knowhow. Unik Black Snail Restore Serum 50 mL/1.71 fl oz. Claims 'Powerful Skin Restore Nourishing & Lifting Whitening & Wrinkle Care This serum can help to make skin restore and smooth with black snail extract water 70% and 5 black super food (black rice, black bean, black sesame, eggplant, sea tangle) extract.' Instructions Us...

What does my skincare routine have in common with uni textbooks? They're both updated frequently and are outdated by the time they're in print, and they take generous bites out of my bank account. By the time I post this at least two of these items will have become empties, so I figured they should get their time in the spotlight before they step off their pedestal. 1. Skinfood Black Sugar Cleansing Oil (Oil Cleanse) I've never met an ineffective oil cleanser, and this one by Skinfood is no exception. It has some obvious slip to it and so doesn't feel thick and viscious. It emulsifies my makeup quickly and gently, and leaves my skin feeling conditioned after rinsing. The only product that it takes longer to scrub off are lip tint products, but that's why companies invented tint remover right? Cleasning oil in action. The most stubborn of the swatches would be that massive pink stain there belonging to a Tonymoly tint. The rub and rinse. The ...

It's been over 3 weeks since my last post and when I asked myself why I hadn't blogged during that time, I told myself I had content to study for and a practical exam to pass. Now that that's over I look back and wonder what part of that period was supposed to be difficult. Is that moving on or is that putting a filter on the past? A'Pieu Sun Gel After enjoying the A'Pieu Daily Sun Cream so much I wanted to give their other products a try. The sun gel had a distinct citrus scent, was very light, cooling and for the most part, absorbed quickly. Towards the end of the bottle it became very oily and even shaking it didn't help with the greasiness. Perhaps it was separating in the bottle the whole time and I should have been mixing the contents during each use. Cosrx Galactomyces 95 Whitening Power Essence This is a slightly viscous, transparent liquid with no scent. It absorbed quickly into my dry skin but on slightly damp skin, the essence suddenly h...

Welcome to April's makeup mess! These are products that I've been using for the whole month. I swear the products started off much cleaner, until I hit pan for the Artclass by Rodin contour palette and the powders crumbled over the rest of the products. Still, the feeling of finishing a product is so satisfying <3  Face Bases Teint Infusion Foundation - 26 Peach Sephora Collection & BCDation BB Serum - 03 Warm Beige Tonymoly April was the month where I gave up on trying to foundation match my (much lighter) face to my neck, and did it the other way around instead. I went to Sephora to be colour matched and wore the foundation for the rest of the night (~6 hours). By itself, it was feather light, adhered to the skin well and set quickly. Despite its hydrating claim, it emphasised my smiles lines within the hour, and the edges of my face seemed too orange. The BCDation BB serum stopped the Sephora foundation from immediate oxidisation, an...
