[REVIEW] Innisfree Ginger Honey Ampoule Skin

May 30, 2019 by Cindyleen G

Innisfree Ginger Honey Ampoule Skin Review:

Innisfree is one of those Korean brands that everyone trusts to have amazing products. Their philosophy is to create products using naturally derived ingredients from the island of Jeju. The brand is famous for their Green Tea and Orchid lines of products (both of which I have tried and love). So when they released their Ginger Honey line, I immediately wanted to get my hands on them.

The one that caught my eye the most is the Innisfree Ginger Honey Ampoule Skin. For those who are not yet familiar with Korean skincare terminologies, an ampoule is a more concentrated version of a serum while skin is another term used for toner.

Being categorized as an ampoule skin, this product serves dual purpose. Unlike a few years ago when the 10-step Korean skincare routine was all the rage, a more simplified routine comprising of multi-purpose products is preferred nowadays. As someone who is obsessed with skincare, I was intrigued to see if this product can help me reduce the number of steps in my routine.

[REVIEW] Mediheal Masking Layering Ampoule Hydra Shot

April 29, 2019 by Cintya A

Mediheal Masking Layering Ampoule Hydra Shot Review:

I kept eyeing this new Mediheal’s ampoule since it was released few months ago. Sadly, there was no local seller having this product though I really wanted to give it a try. Its unique concept attracted me a lot. So, layering an ampoule on skin sounds very interesting to me. Besides, the commercial of this product looks so promising as well.

My wait was over when I found local seller, finally, having this ampoule on their list. Well, I know, it’s just sample size, but at least I can try it out and give you a complete review about the performance of this ampoule. Lucky me, the seller have HYDRA SHOT variant, which was on top of my wishlist.

[REVIEW] IUNIK Black Snail Restore Serum

IUNIK Black Snail Restore Serum Review:

Snail Mucin is one of the most popular ingredients in Korean cosmetics. On its basis, cosmetic brands produce gels, creams, masks, serums and etc. For myself, to get acquainted with this magical ingredient, I chose a serum from the brand iUNIK.

The brand’s philosophy is to produce products that are ideal for the skin using natural ingredients. Agree, it sounds very tempting) The brand does not have a large number of products in its lineup. That is why I want to believe that all their products will be well formulated and will help in the fight for beautiful skin.

[REVIEW] A’Pieu Madecassoside Ampoule

March 27, 2019February 27, 2019 by Ana B

A’Pieu Madecassoside Ampoule Review:

It starts with the name. It’s as simple as it is. We like cool and creative names but, let’s face it, it’s more practical to call a product by what it is! For example, you wouldn’t say “Benton Goodbye Redness Centella Mask Pack” all the time, you would just say “Benton Centella Mask” or something.

With this name there is no going wrong. I also like the design, which matches the collection completely. And the simple promise of skin protection. But does the A’Pieu Madecassoside Ampoule perform as well as it sells?

[REVIEW] 2019 NEW Missha Time Revolution Night Repair PROBIO Ampoule

March 27, 2019February 17, 2019 by Ana B

Missha Time Revolution Night Repair Probio Ampoule was purchased by Cosmeperks.

This ampoule and I have a history! I was a part of the test group for those percentages you see on advertisements, but it was a blind testing and we didn’t even know the brand. As soon as I received it, just by smelling, I knew it was a Missha ampoule. Maybe I used a lot of them already?

They didn’t tell us it was a night ampoule, so I used it during the day too. Eventually the product was released, and they revealed the name of the blind product. Of course I was so excited to be a part of it, when Nigama asked me if I wanted to review it I didn’t hesitate (I didn’t even check the price) because I was already so in love with it.

[REVIEW] It’s Skin Tiger Cica Calming Serum

March 27, 2019February 9, 2019 by Alisa N

It’s Skin Tiger Cica Calming Serum Review:

Rated quite highly on Hwahae (currently 4.43/5 stars) and not seeing it as readily available locally as the brand’s other lines at the time, I was excited to get my hands on the It’s Skin Tiger Cica Calming Serum when I traveled to Seoul early last year. And despite some initial hesitation, the sales assistant managed to convince me enough to warrant a buy (also helps that this specific line was on sale!); but, did it live up to my expectations?

[REVIEW] Some By Mi AHA BHA PHA 30 Days Miracle Serum

Some By Mi AHA BHA PHA 30 Days Miracle Serum Review:

SOME BY MI was really a hit in 2018. Their 30 Days Miracle Line was very popular due to the amazing claim of repairing skin condition in 30 days. The 30 Days Miracle Line consists of bar soap, toner, serum, and cream. I didn’t give any serious attention to the brand until I almost ran out of my The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%. I was looking for an affordable serum, with safe ingredients, which can help with the appearance of my pores. My nose and cheek pores are wide open, with some visible blackheads T_T

I did my searching online and found that one way to reduce the pores’ appearance is by using AHA or BHA to clear whiteheads and blackheads. Thus, SOME BY MI AHA BHA PHA 30 Days Miracle Serum grabbed my attention since it contains AHA, BHA, PHA as chemical exfoliator and Tea Tree & Centella Asiatica Extract to help soothing the skin and taming acne.

[REVIEW] ELIZAVECCA CF-Nest 97% B-Jo Serum

January 29, 2019 by Chrysilla H

ELIZAVECCA CF-Nest 97% B-Jo Serum Review:

Serum product from Elizavecca might be unfamiliar in most people’s ears, since their famous ones are Elizavecca Green Piggy Collagen Jella Pack or Elizavecca Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask. I personally tried the collagen pack first, around a year ago, and I quite like the effect. So when I heard Elizavecca also has a serum product, which is Elizavecca CF-Nest 97% B-jo Serum, I’m keen to give this one a try.

[REVIEW] The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5

November 30, 2018 by Chrysilla H

The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Review:

Who has never heard The Ordinary brand before? Well, I’m sure everybody ever heard at least once. The Ordinary is such a hype; there’re many reasons for it, though. Maybe because of its economical price, or its specific claim for only particular problem of your skin, or because of its after-usage effect. That’s why I decided to give it a try.
