Althea Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser comes in a clear transparent blue bottle.  It doesn't have a box 😃 cause I find it hard to throw away nice boxes.

The cleanser can be used two ways.  It doesn't foam so don't rub hard on your skin.  It does remove even the most sweatproof makeup so it is a good makeup remover.  There is no residue after cleansing so you can just use it on its own.  It doesn't dry out the skin too so that is a nice point to it I guess. I checked the pH of the cleanser and it is about 5 to 6.

Althea Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser has a watery texture with viscosity and it does feel smooth without dragging on the skin.  The scent is a subtle plastic with tire scent according to my weird sense of smell.  It is not particular bad but not the usual floral scent.

Overall, Althea Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser is a nice cleanser for any type of skin.

EXID SOLJI I LOVE YOU INSPIRED MAKEUP TUTORIAL

Hi beautiful people,
EXID I love you MV is just so catchy 😍  . Here is a Solji EXID I Love You inspired makeup tutorial.

This is my first time trying a makeup tutorial for Kpop so don't roast me since I am just going to admit that I am not good in makeup tutorials.  The reason you only seen me doing it only a few times a year.

Originally, I wanted to do Junghwa inspired look but the eye-shadows I use just don't have enough pigmentation and the end results look more like Solji.  As for the other members, you either have to use more bright pink for eye shadow or a darker lip product.

Solji EXID I Love You inspired makeup tutorial

So here is the EXID Solji I love you Inspired Makeup tutorial .

Do take consideration that lighting is slightly different than the natural lighting I use.  I don't have professional lighting but I think that is the colour if you see EXID in real life.  I try my best to get similar if not close to the actual makeup they use.

A few points to keep in mind:

1. Make sure you hydrate your face with a sheet mask or skincare before the makeup.
2. The EXID members have good flawless skin.  I don't so I am using a medium coverage cushion makeup for acne prone skin with dewy finish.
3.  The shades are Korean #21 for base makeup.  You do need to go one shade lighter on stage or in Music Videos if you do not want to look darker by 2 shades.
4.  I didn't apply on my neck because I don't want to stain my clothes.  Kpop makeup is not just on the face, normally the makeup is full body. Tone up cream for the body so that it looks lighter and they also powder it.
5.  Solji's eyeliner is not that thick. I am sorry that mine looks thick cause I accidentally over drawn. So do a thinner one than mine.
6. Use a natural individual fake eyelashes or you will have invisible eyelashes like mine. Then again you don't need fake eyelashes if you have nice natural eyelashes.  There are those individual eyelashes that is separated into a few eyelashes.  Put it on only the area where it is sparse.
7.  I am seeing a lot of the Igari makeup for blushes in many of the Kpop music videos nowadays.  Igari blush tend to be near the eyes area.


As for the makeup items, you can always use something better than what I use.  For eyeliner, you can use MAC pot eyeliner or Urban Decay. For eyebrow, any light brown will do.  As for tint, a bright red rose lipstick could replace the one I use.  Rose colour is the Korean lip colour for 2018/2019 and mostly use in Korean MV too.  For eyeshadow use something with better pigmentation that what I have.  Mine looks pigmented but the colour is pretty light actually.

Products used:

A. Collection Cosmetics Eyebrow Kit
B. E.L.F Prism eyeshadow in Naked
C.Teen Crush Problem Glow Cushion SPF 50+ PA+++
D. Physician Formula Argan Wear Mascara in Ultra Black
E. Althea Petal Velvet Powder in Pink Lavender
F. The Saem Tip Cover Perfection concealer SPF28 in #01 light
G. Teen Crush Switch on tint in #4 Goddess Beam
H. Chica Y Chico One Kill Eyeliner Liquid Brush Pen in One Kill Black
I.  Geo Medical Angel Circle Lens in Grey at at LensCircle HERE

Steps:

1. Wear a grey colour circle lens.
2. Do skincare and apply lipbalm.

Teen Crush Problem Glow Cushion SPF 50+ PA+++

3. Pat on the cushion foundation onto the skin with cushion puff.

4. Draw your eyebrow with a brown (2).  Her eyebrow is straight with slight arch and thin.

The Saem Tip Cover Perfection concealer SPF28 in #01 light

5. Cover dark circles and acne with concealer.  You can also skip this step if you don't need concealer.

Collection Eyebrow Kit

6.  I use the Collection Eyebrow Kit.

Apply light brown(1) all over the eyelids and bring it up to the crease

Apply the brown(2) over half of the eyelids.

Then, add a little grayish dark brown(3) at the corner of the eyelid. Blend the (2) and the (3) together with a brush. Three strokes will do.

Blend it.

5. Apply light brown(1) all over the eyelids and bring it up to the crease.  Apply the brown(2) over half of the eyelids.  Then,  add a little grayish dark brown(3) at the corner of the eyelid. Blend the (2) and the (3) together with a brush. Three strokes will do.

reality of hooded eyelids .That is how thick I draw.

6. Draw a thin eyeliner. Mine is a terrible mistake so don't follow it😂.
7. Apply individual fake eyelashes and put mascara on.

a dot of tint right under the pupils near your eyes.

Igari kind of blush

8. Look straight into the mirror.  Then, dot one dot of the red lip tint below your pupils at the eyes' socket area.  Then use a cushion puff or just your finger to pat the colour to even it.

If you just want the extra glitter on the lips which is actually not on Solji makeup (sorry)

9. Wipe off the lipbalm. Use a bright rose red tint or lipstick.  You don't really need to do the lip shine since Solji don't have it in the teaser image but she has it in some of the music video.  I actually use glittery eyeshadow (the 2-gold of the E.L.F Prism eyeshadow)  to apply a line on the lower lip area.

Althea Petal Velvet Powder in Pink Lavender

10. Dust some powder on the face.
11.  Spray some hydrating mist.
12. Take selfies 😄.



So that is the end of EXID Solji I Love You Inspired makeup.  I hope you that you will like it. 😃

Oxygen women and teen 2 in 1 cleanser is huge bottle of organic cleanser.  The ingredients inside are mild and contains short ingredients list.   The pH of the cleanser is 5.5 and contains mild  surfactant.  The gel cleanser smells like freshly cut grass to me.  Do rub the cleanser on the palm first before applying it on the face as the pumice can be a little harsh if you rub it straight to the skin.  I like the cleanser as it doesn't foam much and gentle on the skin.  It does control the amount of acne on the skin when I was using it.  Full detailed review HERE

Oxygen women and teen skin toner is a really nice toner which I know the importance of it once I took it out from my skincare routine ❤.  The toner smells citrusy.  The spray form of toner is easy to use.  The water droplets that came out is like any normal water which is bigger water droplets.  The toner does absorb fast into the skin.  I do see the effect after using it from 2 weeks when I notice that my skin does not break out that often and most of the breakouts clear up.  It does prevent acne and helps to speed up the healing of those acne area even when I do not use other things.  The ingredients inside this toner are mandarin oil, kiwi, seaweed, NZ hops and raspberry water that helps to cool down the temperature for the skin, controls oil on the skin while hydrate the skin at the same time.  I personally find that this toner does the work of a toner and serum to get rid of acne on the skin.

Oxygen women and teen soothing moisturiser is non greasy moisturiser.  It comes in a glass jar which is so classy.  The opaque white cream is like a light lotion which absorbs fast into the skin and does not leave any greasy feeling. It smells really nice of cucumber too.  A little moisturiser is enough to soothe the skin, hydrate the skin through the day and balance the skin between the oil and water on the skin.  The cream doesn't clogged my pores or irritate the acne prone area.  I have been using more than 3 weeks and it is a nice moisturiser for not causing more acne.
Full detailed review HERE

Before and after of using Oxygen women and teen problem skin pack

Overall, Oxygen Women and teen problem skin pack is a really great set for oily combination acne prone skin since the products are all of full size, organic and they actually works to prevent, heal and protect the acne prone skin.  I do think it is a helpful since the three products work to compliment each other.  If you ask me which of the products are my favourite, it would be the Oxygen women and teen skin toner as it is rare to find a toner that does the work of a acne spot treatment and acne serum to clear up the acne area.

Glamfox Fleurissant Lip Gloss GS03 Peach flower comes in a super pretty nice box and even prettier gloss bottle.  The flower corespondent to the variant that you get.  The differences between the 5 variants are like the amount of 'stain' on the lips upon application.

The gloss bottle is plastic so don't have to worry about dropping it to the floor and breaking it.  The gloss have doe applicator which is pretty nice for application.  The gloss is like jelly.  Just like any other gloss, it has this slight sticky feeling upon application.  I removed the gloss after few minutes once it stain my lips pink.

Glamfox Fleurissant Lip Gloss GS03 Peach flower has a very subtle pink on my lips even after three layers.  It is not that moisturising but great on top of other lipbalm or lipstick for that nice moisturise glossy look.  My lips does look more plump since it contains volufiline.

The colour doesn't fade and stay on my lips for 6 hours even after eating and drinking.  It does transfer to the cup but without reducing the colour on the lips.   The gloss has peach scent that gradually fade after 30minutes.

Overall Glamfox Fleurissant Lip Gloss GS03 Peach flower is affordable pretty gloss that provides subtle pink look for daily wear.
