Commleaf Vitarice Moisture Cream


Commleaf Vitarice Moisture Cream comes in a nice box that has all the ingredients printed in English  and Korean which is really important considering not everyone can read Hangul.  The cap is aluminum and has Commleaf logo embossed on it.  It is just a really nice beautiful pentagon jar of transparent glass.  So much details put into the packaging design and also the ingredients.  Also to note, Commleaf products is made by a Korean Top manufacturer so you can ensure the safety and quality of their products.

The ingredients inside are safe. (Ingredients list in the photo) It has a lot of moisturising ingredients such as algae, ceramide, rice bran extract, gingko extract, oat kernel extract, allantoin, adenosine, green tea, trehalose and some other plants extracts.  There is a lot of ferments down the list too which is beneficial for those skin that loves ferments. Biotin, Niacinamide (high on the list), Vitamin C and peptide can help to brighten and speed up healing of the skin.

Commleaf Vitarice Moisture Cream has a nice light scent of geranium in it.  It is not strong or overpowering and the scent doesn't stay long on the skin.  The cream is opaque white which turn transparent upon application.  The cream has a very soft smooth texture.  It moisturize the skin for more than 8 hours without feeling heavy or greasy. My skin sure feels very hydrated and don't even need to mist my face through the day when using it.  It is a bit heavy for the oily area of my face but super nice for the rest of my face.  I think it will work really nice for dry skin that needs constant moisture.  My skin sure feels the different when I don't use it for a few days.


Overall, Commleaf Vitarice Moisture Cream is great for normal to dry to normal skin type that loves hydration, ferment, ceramide, brightening and plant ingredients with EWG green rating ingredients.  The brand is cruelty free too.

REVIEW ON THE VEGAN GLOW GOOD NIGHT CREAM

Hi beautiful people,

A cruelty free, affordable, vegan Korean brand?  Here comes the latest newest 2019 skincare brands that is for vegans with cosmetic elegant texture.

Here is a review on The Vegan Glow Good Night Cream ๐ŸŒฒ๐Ÿ€which I have been loving.  It is also my first Korean affordable vegan cream.  I have combination acne prone sensitive skin and also very prone to breakouts and clogged pores too.  So if you have the same skin type as I do, please do have a look at this review.

Vegan glow Good Night Cream are made based strictly vegan plants ingredients and following the EWG green ingredients.  The Vegan glow believe in simple yet effective formula that will provide skin with gentle care.  The ingredients are printed on the box in English itself with EWG rating.


Vegan glow Good Night Cream comes in airless recyclable plastic pump bottle which is just simplistic.  The cap is green with printed moon which signified night cream.  The day cream has the picture of sun.  I think it is a really nice because of most the time, it is hard for us to know which is which when all the bottles look the same.   The box are made from recycle paper and is printed with soy ink which is really good.  Ingredients are made from cruelty free and vegan ingredients.  There is no parabens, no sulfates (SLS and SLES), no phthalates, no PEG and no Dimethicone which some people could be sensitive to it.

I do like the water based night cream which is rare in night cream especially vegan ones cosmetics.  Check out the ingredients on the photos ๐Ÿ˜ƒ .  It has arginine, adenosine, sodium hyaluronate, centella asiatica, vitamin E and shea butter that hydrate the skin during the night.  It also helps with healing since centella asiatica is known for their healing ability. Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate is a plant-based emulsifier which is an emollient for skin.

According to The Vegan Glow, the bergamot limit for IFRA is 0.4%. The amount they use in this bottle is less than 0.05% . I am still waiting for answer if the bergamot oil they use is bergapten free. Bergapten Free Bergamot has the same benefits as regular bergamot oil but it doesn’t cause the skin to become sensitive to sunlight.

Vegan glow Good Night Cream has a really nice lightweight texture with soft cream that melts into the skin with no residue.  It absorbs fast on my skin. My skin feels soft, calm the next day and not looking oily.  It doesn't cause me clogged pores or caused breakouts.  It has a very light citrus scent which is calming to me and the scent doesn't stay which is great for someone that does not like scent.  It doesn't get rid of my acne but it sure soothe my redness and does not irritate my skin.

Overall, Vegan glow Good Night Cream is very nice lightweight vegan night cream which is suitable for all skin type even for acne prone skin like mine.  If you are looking for an affordable convenient airless hygienic pump bottle be sure to just have a look at The Vegan Glow.

Althea Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser

-a cleanser serum
- makeup, dirt, and oil with mint extracts while ensuring the skin stays cool and hydrated
- dual moisture cell system that prevents the skin from drying out and minimizes enlarged pores
- balance the pH levels of the skin
-gentle and suitable for sensitive skins.


Key ingredients:
Mint leaf extract - Cools down the skin and soothes irritations
Jojoba seed oil - Deeply moisturizes any dryness without feeling heavy
Tea tree leaf extract - Has antibacterial properties that purify the skin

Usage:
To remove makeup:
Step 1: Pour an adequate amount of the product onto the palm of your hand.
Step 2: Massage the product all over your skin in circular motions to remove dirt and makeup.
Step 3: Rinse off the residue with water. You may also use a second cleanser to completely remove any residue.

To cleanse the skin:
Step 1: Dampen the skin and apply an adequate amount of the product onto the palm of your hand.
Step 2: Gently massage the product all over your skin in circular motions for 5-10 seconds before rinsing it off with water.


Ingredients:
Water, Peg-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Cyclomethicone, Isononyl Isononanoate, Dipropylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Extract, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Mentha Arvensis Leaf Extract, Glycerin, Citric Acid, Hydroxyacetophenone, Disodium Edta, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sodium Citrate, Butylene Glycol, Fragrance


Althea Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser comes in a clear transparent blue bottle.  It doesn't have a box ๐Ÿ˜ƒ 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 ๐Ÿ˜  . 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.

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.

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 Stay Fresh Body Sparkling Mist comes in plastic bottle with floral design and white background.  The bottle is easy to carry around.

The mist that came out is of medium water droplets.  It is not a cloud of smoke but it does dries fast upon contact with skin or clothes.  It is non sticky and doesn't leave any stain on my body.  The scent does smell like magnolia mixed with citrus which is pretty feminine.
