Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Clay Mask First Impression

I’ve been loving trying out Korean products for quite sometime now. I love how effective their products are especially their skincare line. A lot of positive reviews are in the internet raving for korean brands.

Althea Korea is an online retail store for Korean products and there where I bought my recent favorite BB cream, the Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream.

I love using BB cream instead of foundation in my face because it’s lightweight and very easy to apply. Today, I am going to give my first impression review to this BB cream, the Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream.

Product Description:

“Originally developed as a salve for patients after laser treatment, BB Cream’s soothing and regenerative properties were adapted for cosmetics to improve skin while providing coverage. The M Perfect Cover BB Cream is Missha’s most popular product with over 30 million sold worldwide. Combining cosmetics with skin care, this product promotes natural-looking coverage while providing sun protection, treating dark spots, and preventing wrinkles. The M Perfect Cover BB Cream is suitable for all skin types and can be used as a makeup base or foundation.”

This BB cream claims that it gives excellent coverage while healing visible wrinkles and blemishes. It also claims to prevent skin aging through effective whitening and anti-wrinkle properties.

The Packaging:

The product is safely sealed when it arrived and it comes in a box. It has a very sleek design in a maroon color and has a pump which is a plus for me. Contains 50ml of product, very handy and easy to use especially if you’re in a hurry.

My Experience:

I got the shade #23. One pump is enough for me to cover my face. Very lightweight and blends easily. This BB Cream has a gray neutral tone which is okay for me. This BB cream has a glowy, semi-matte finish. The consistency is very creamy. Another plus is that it has SPF 40 which is great especially when you are always exposed with the sun. The coverage for me is from light to medium but it’s buildabke as well. Applying the bb cream on my face, I use a wet makeup sponge for the product to sink in my skin. I also set it with a powder since I have oily skin.

When swatched. As you can see it has that grayish undertone.

For the price point, the Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream is not that affordable for a BB cream. But if you want to invest for a long-lasting and effective one, this one might work for you. I bought it for P560.00 which is originally P1360. The product for me can last up to 4 hours. I use a blotting paper to get rid of the oil in my face and then set it again with a powder for a matte finish.

After blending

Overall, I can say that this BB Cream is not effective for my oily skin but I think this would work for dry to normal skin type.

But the thing that still made me love this about this BB cream even after having those cons is that even when you’re oily and you sweat, it still holds up pretty well.

PROS:

Semi-matte finish
light to medium coverage and is buildable
great for everyday use

CONS:

not compatible with oily skin
expensive for a bb cream
available online

Will I Buy It Again?

I don’t think so. Since there are more available BB creams in the market that are affordable and matches my skin type.

What do you think guys? Have you tried this product before? Let me know your thoughts about it.

The Packaging:

As always, the packaging is on flick. I really love the green and white accent of the bottle. Very simple.

My Experience:

I really love using the Simple Moisturizing Facial Wash, very gentle on the skin and has no smell at all. Been searching for a facial wash that will match my sensitive skin since I've been having breakouts lately because of my pregnancy. This product is thick and a little goes a long way with just a little amount of water added to it. I feel like it deep cleans while being gentle on my skin. The product removes make-up and dirt/oil. Within the first two uses I felt a different in my skin, it definitely moisturised my skin without leaving an oily residue.

This product is perfect for those who have acne prone/ sensitive skin. This cleanser doesn't dry and irritate the face which i find most acne facial cleansers do. I used to use acne facial washes but realized they just made my acne worse but this cleanser doesn't do that. The scent is also pretty pleasant and not over powering. For me it smells like Celeteque. Simple products do not leave my skin feeling oily or heavy. I really trust the Simple brand.

For Best Results:

Step 1: Wet face with warm water.

Step 2: Squeeze a small amount into hands and work into a lather.

Step 3: Massage gently in a circular motion onto wet skin.

Step 4: Rinse with warm water and pat dry. Avoid delicate eye area.

I bought this at Watsons for a Sale price of P399.00.

Pros:

great for sensitive skin
odorless
organic
moisturizes the face
gentle on the skin

Cons:

Sold out easily
Expensive for me (but worth it)

Will I Buy this Again? Definitely Yes!

Simple Moisturising Facial Wash First Impression

My First Althea Korea Box - Unboxing

I already heard about this brand for so long but didn't bother to try it out. A lot of positive reviews about this soap is almost everywhere.

My friend introduced this brand of soap to me a long time ago but I just had this chance now to give my opinion about it I am talking about the Royale Beauty L-Glutapower Soap that has Glutathione and Vitamin E.

Product Claims:

Royale L-Gluta Power Soap from Royale Business Club has already been proven effective and safe for whitening your skin. Frequent use of this product will reduce hyper pigmentation and prevents spots from re-occurring.

Product Information:

Removes dark spots, reduces and gets rid of freckles, age spots, pimple marks. It also whitens, revives and nourishes to make your skin look supple, radiant and flawless.

Packaging:

The packaging is legit. It comes in a thick blue plastic box, very hygienic and properly labelled. You can see the manufacturing, batch and expiration date in the box. The box also has Directions and Instructions which is very helpful.

Ingredients:

Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, Stearic Acid, Glycerin, Cocodiethanolamide, Water, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Lactate, Glutathione, Tocopheryl Acetate, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Papaya Extract, Titanium Dioxide, Perfume.

My Experience:

I used the Royale L-Gluta Power Soap for two weeks to test it. I have morena skin but I really love trying out whitening products. The white soap is covered with Royale Beauty logo and has pull to open tab for easy opening.

Just like other soaps, the bar melts quite quickly especially when placed in a soap dish and near the water faucet. After the day I used it, my skin feels tight and smooth. However, in my case, it tends to dry out my skin and there is a feeling of itchiness. But I still continue using the soap for another week. I can see that my skin is peeling a little bit so I guess it is a sign that my skin is changing but still it has that itchy feeling on me.

The scent is not so overpowering, instead it has a mild fresh scent which I really like.

We all have our different skin types so maybe you have different experience with me.When you use this soap, the results may vary however, it normally takes an average of 2-12 weeks before you see visible results. You may need to use more product to really see the effects.

Overall, it is effective in lightening the skin and helps in exfoliating. You may see visible results in just a few weeks. You may also want to use it with lotion or moisturizer so it won't dry out your skin and to prevent skin irritation.

I bought this for P190.00 which for me is okay.

Pros:

very affordable for a whitening soap
lathers very well
nice scent
whitens and exfoliates the skin
available locally

Cons:

dries out my skin
an itchy feeling on me
melts easily especially when in a soap dish

Will I Purchase It Again? Probably No.

Royale Beauty L-Glutapower Soap ( with Gluatathione and Vitamin E)

Having a treated hair is hard to manage according to my own opinion since we have different types of hair. Since I started with dyeing my hair and get some hair treatments like hair cellophane, I noticed that my hair started to dry.

Product Claims:

A once-a-week shampoo that clarifies scalp and hair.
Removes residue build-up left by everyday hair products like shampoos, conditioners, and hair styling products; thoroughly cleanses away dirt, oil, and other impurities; revives each strand for bouncy-looking hair; hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin.

My Experience:

Since I have treated hair, I tend to use different kinds of hair treatments, shampoo and conditioner to make my hair shinier and healthier. I am happy to discover the Celeteque Dermoscience Calrifying Shampoo. This product promised to clarify and remove hair residue build-up from everyday hair products like shampoos and conditioners.

What I love about Celeteque is their packaging. It is always clean and on point. I love the simplicity of it in a white and blue bottle. The shampoo itself is transparent and really smells fresh. It comes in a 250 ml bottle and you can use it for a long time. It’s dermatologist-tested to be hypoallergenic.
The Céleteque DermoScience Hair & Scalp Care Clarifying Shampoo is recommended to be used once-a-week.

I used it once a week as what the product claims. I used the clarifying shampoo for few weeks already and what I have noticed is that after applying and rinsing it, my hair doesn't feel smoother and shinier. I don't know if you have experienced it also or is it just in my hair. Maybe?

What I have noticed is that when I used my shampoo and conditioner in a daily basis, after drying out my hair it feels really smooth and easy to manage. This is what I like about the Céleteque DermoScience Hair & Scalp Care Clarifying Shampoo, you’ll notice that your regular shampoo will work even better for you and you can enjoy having hair that is healthy-looking and manageable.

I bought this product for P200.00 in Watsons.

Pros:

I love its light and fresh scent.
Love the simple packaging
It’s affordable at P200 per bottle.
It’s dermatologist-tested and hypoallergenic.
It works instantly. Your hair feels so much cleaner and lighter after a single use. You’ll find that all your other hair products work a lot better after just one shampoo.
It’s affordable at P200 per bottle. Since you need to use it just once a week, the 250ml will last for several months.
