Skincare Reviews
#MEDIHEAL Madecassoside Blemish Repair Serum
Verdict: Major Disappointment ❌
On its second bottle and I can’t feel
any effect at all. Disappointed,,
This serum is recommended by YouTubers
but I wanted to shed some light on it.
Every time I use it,
I feel like I’m just applying water, like ‘what is this?’
The formula is like running water💦
I don’t know if it improves blemishes or not,
it doesn’t moisturize and has no benefits.
It’s a waste to use a 40ml serum like a water toner.
Please use a large capacity toner
with madecassoside for this one🙏
I feel like a naive consumer
who was fooled by the hype.
(Will repurchase ❌)
#Etude Genuine Moisture Barrier Cream
Verdict: Solid Basic Choice ⭕
Simple and genuine.
It’s a basic, mild moisturizing cream that has no harsh ingredients
and grabs dryness quickly.
It’s also good for mixing with high-content ampoules!!
I’ve also used Estée Lauder
WELLAGE moisturizing cream,
but there’s nothing quite like it,,
it’s equally mild but has
a better price-performance ratio🌧️
(Re-purchase ⭕)
#Skinfood Shine Muscat Exfoliating Toner Pad
Verdict: Too Thick, Not For Me ❌
Thick embossed pad that feels rough
and comes off oddly on my skin,
and I don’t even know if it exfoliates.
Old-fashioned pads?
Some other thick carrot pads
were also disliked by me
because they were thick,,
If you don’t like thick pads like me,
don’t buy it (willing to buy again ❌)
#Torriden Dive-in Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid Pads
Verdict: Better Than Skinfood But Not Enough ❌
Much thinner and more moisturizing
compared to skinfood’s thing.
It’s a decent moisturizing pad,
but it feels quick-drying after using it.
It’s good to put on for a while
when the skin feels hot, but it’s just for that….
It wasn’t enough to moisturize my skin (repurchase intention ❌)
#Stridex Sensitive Pad
Verdict: Effective But Strong + Top Pick ⭕
Exfoliating pad that’s better than others
but I don’t care about this one,
I cleanse my skin with this one about once a month,
and I can see the effect with my eyes…^^
The smell itself is also strong.
It can be irritating for face, but I see definite effect on back acne!!!
(Re-purchase ⭕)
#NOT4U Clear Body Mist
#Derma:B AC Control Body Mist
Verdict: Still Testing But Promising
For summer sleeveless wear,
you need to take care of your back.
If you have acne problems,
the combination of the above-mentioned
Stridex pads + body mist is a must…
I’ve been using it for about a month,
so I’m not sure of the big difference in effectiveness yet…
◽️NOT4U – It feels a little more moist + mild.
It seems to be good for dry skin
◽️Derma:B – The price is reasonable without any big issues,
so it’s good to use regularly
The mist spray itself seems to be made better by NOT4U,
but Derma:B sometimes doesn’t work
Sunscreen Reviews
#CellfusionC Laser Sunscreen, Toning Sunscreen 100
Verdict: Outdated Formula ❌
Ah, there are so many well-made sunscreens now!
Both of them have a typical smell of sunscreen
and an excessive sense of oiliness,
and I feel that the absorption is also inferior
compared to the products released recently
Toning seems to have been renewed,
but it seems to be similar
when I reviewed it (repurchase intention ❌)
#Anua Heartleaf Silky Moisture Sunscreen
Verdict: Boyfriend Approved ⭕
My boyfriend liked this sunscreen a lot….
It’s a moisturizing cream-like formula
and absorbs very quickly!
White cast ❌, eye irritation ❌, fine oiliness?
Creamy sunscreens are in vogue these days,
but it seems to be made well
(repurchase intention ⭕)…
But the NUNIES sunscreen I posted before is like a real lotion.
Maybe upgrade version of Anua cuz of overwhelmingly moisturizing application?
That’s honestly better,
but the price is also higher and there is a new brand barrier…
I’ll just lightly recommend NUNIES’s.
#La Roche-Posay UVIDEA Tone Up Rosy Glow
Verdict: Absolutely Amazing But Pricey 🔥🔥🔥🔥
If you usually like foundation-free/no-makeup looks,
I would recommend this sunscreen.
Honestly, I couldn’t recommend it
because it’s expensive, but I recommend it because it’s on sale
Organic+inorganic mix is the best part.
It’s definitely luxurious, it’s foundation-free,
and it’s really nice to put a cushion on top of it.
It’s my go-to sunscreen
when I need my skin to look its best.
I use it sparingly,,, (repurchase intention ⭕)
Hair Care Reviews
#HairPlus Protein Bond Ampoule Essence #BakjunBeautyLab LPP Protein No-Wash Treatment
Verdict: Perfect Combination for Extreme Damaged Hair ⭕
If you were looking for a no-wash treatment,
please use this combination…
It’s a moisture+protein filling combination
that I settled on while using it
for over 5 years (re-purchase intentions ⭕)
Makeup Reviews
#freshian Egg-like Cushion 201
Verdict: Pretty But Poor Performance ❌
It separates unconditionally next to my nose.
Oily friends separate, dry friends separate like me,
and the adhesion is not very good.
But I use it until the end
because I like the package
201 is about 19? Bright and clear ivory
Pros: Pretty color, tasteful package
Cons: Not very adhesive, no coverage
(willing to repurchase ❌)
#Laneige Neo Cushion 21
Verdict: Immediate Dislike ❌
This was the first cushion I didn’t like
from the first time I applied it…
My hands are really uncomfortable.
I’ve used it maybe 3 times since I bought it…
It’s thicker and makes my skin look cakey.
(Cushions that knit, bunch, darken, and are hard to fix.
Really… The kind of low quality that makes you wonder
how these cushions can sell so much.)
I agree with this Olive Young review…
Pros: Not found
Cons: Makes my skin look thicker
(would repurchase ❌)
#Medicube Pro Glutathione ‘Velvet’, ‘Glow’ 21
Verdict: Mediocre Performance ❌
Ambiguous. It’s very average,
I didn’t feel anything peculiar, just okay,,
‘Velvet’ has a little bit of bunching
so ‘Glow’ was better
ah cosmetic-like scent is strong (negative)
(repurchase intentions ❌)
I bought it when it was on rare discount
but now the price has dropped
even more than it was then
from about ₩30,000 to ₩10,000.
#NAMING Layered Fit Cushion 17y, 19n, 21y
Verdict: Life Cushion 🖤
I’m using it for the fifth time
and it’s another hit in this Olive Young planning set
Pros: A reliable cushion that has no major drawbacks,
which is the best advantage.
It fills in the pores, has some coverage,
and is thin enough to fit tightly,
so the texture looks good,
and the color is ivory with a clear base.
(Bright 21, but I wanted it to be brighter
after using 17, so I used 19)
Cons: Lasting power?
It doesn’t last all day.
It’s thin, so it seems to fade in the evening.
But it’s a good touch-up formula,
so it doesn’t matter if you just apply it on top,
it’s an easy cushion that’s perfect for daily use!
Honestly, if it’s not polarizing,
it’ll fit both oily and dry skin well✨
It’s similar to my past favorite, JAVIN DE Seoul,
but is is thinner and more transparent, brighter than JAVIN DE.
+ Olive Young Planning Set is including
with Naming Soft Mellow Highlighter Mini version.
But this one is not good…
The particles are rough
so the light spreads out
and it’s scarily dry.
But it’s great to give
the main product + refill + highlighter at the main product price
from the brand that doesn’t give refills,
this Olive Young set is a steal
#Ofra Highlighter
Verdict: You’ll See Why People Prefer Foreign Highlighters
Buy… it’s different…..
adhesion, luminosity, moisture feeling
overwhelmingly superior
I was using the 4-pan All of the Lights
that’s not available at Olive Young,
but I broke it all… TT
I’m going to buy it again
Among the 4 pans, I only used
‘Pillow Talk’ and ‘Star Island’,
so I’m contemplating what to buy,,
both are absolutely gorgeous
Ofra / Naming comparison on application:
beam difference is more pronounced in real life
Lip Product Reviews
#Rom&nd Juicy Lasting Tint Beargrape
Verdict: Reliable Daily Choice ⭕
Fundamental daily lip
so I rebuy it this time
When I was younger,
I was worried about buying something else
because the lips are good these days,
but I think it’s the most handy Rom&nd…
It’s fine at a price under ₩10,000
Tint + key ring, I was curious about it.
So I used it as this gift project
(re-purchase intention ⭕)
Roseglow Gel Tint + Dewy Balm
(the glow is thanks to the Dewy Balm)
Immediately after application
30 minutes later the shine disappeared… ???
#Hince Roseglow Gel Tint
Verdict: Overhyped and Disappointing ❌
The more I wear it,
the less satisfied I am.
I bought it because it’s famous for its shine,
but the shine breaks down very quickly +
if you want to know about Hince shine,
go to Dewy Balm instead <<
Gel tint Roseglow!!
It’s not very long lasting
and the amount is small,
so it’s a disappointing lip
Rosegrape doesn’t have a good color on the lips,
so it’s a surprisingly unsatisfactory color
(would buy again ❌)
When thickly layered
Final Comparison: Rom&nd vs Hince
Comparison of Rom&nd & Hince /
Hince coloring power and light sensation are similar,
but Hince is ₩14,000 more expensive
and the amount is less,
but I don’t know what’s better
Rom&nd also has a wide range of color choices,
so if you are thinking about
Hince Roseglow Gel Tint,
I hope this post was helpful
in choosing Rom&nd Juicy Lasting,
I hope you can buy it.
