Product Empties #1



These are the products that I have used up and I will review each with my own opinions on them!

Benefit Porefessional (22ml) - 5 out of 5 stars

I believe this product no longer needs any more explanation by now. Its just an overall great primer that blurs out all your pores, leaving very smooth skin ready for applying foundation on top of it. I didn't actually finish up this primer, but i had it for over a year now and it doesn't work as effective as before. I kinda regret why I didn't use it up before the expiry date, I was trying to save it for the best occasions but a little of it goes a long way. 

If you haven't already owned one, I suggest you should! This is the best product that I love from Benefit, other than their lovely blushers!

Collection 2000 lasting perfection concealer (Light) - 3 out of 5 stars

This concealer was very hyped last 2 years in the UK so I decided to ask my friend who is studying in the UK to get one for me. Very affordable and creamy consistency that covers blemishes on my face. But it dries out my face every time, even though I put my BB cream on top of the concealer. Throughout the day, I would see dry patches at where ever I put on the concealer. 

So I conclude this concealer does not work for my dry skin or maybe I don't know how to use it. I recently used Canmake concealer from Japan and it stills dry out my skin (worse than the collection 2000). Since then, I rather just put on my BB cream without the concealer.  :/

Jurlique Herbal Recovery Advanced Serum (Sample Size 15ml) - 3 out of 5 stars

I got this sample size from Lookfantastic September beauty box, took me 2 month to finish this small bottle because I use it once a day every night. This is my first time trying Jurlique, an Australian skincare product which claims to reduce the appearance of fine lines, help increase elasticity, restore radiance and increase hydration.

I actually don't need a collagen serum but I'd give it a go, at least to prevent my wrinkles at my young age. I love the scent of this serum, very florally and relaxing when I apply it to my face. However, no drastic changes I can see on my face after 2 months of using it. All I noticed is brighter skin every morning when I apply them at night. So far, this product never breaks me out. Wouldn't purchase them again because it is too pricey for me.

Gatineau Paris Collagene Expert Ultimate Skin Soothing Cream (Sample Size 15ml)3 out of 5 stars

Another collagen cream that I found in my Lookfantastic October beauty box and It is also a pricey item. This product is one of the leading French skincare which offers a wide range of high performance products based on proven technology.

It contains Hyaluronic Acid ingredient on it which makes my skin so moisturized and very smoothing after I apply. Couldn't give some comment about how the collagen works on me, but I hope it does prevent it when I get older.



Nature Republic Ultra Steam Cream - 5 out of 5 stars

I bought this cream from ibuybeauti store last 2 years when my skin has been really dry and flaky. Desperately needing some extreme moisturizing cream. Nature Republic is one of the Korean brands that I personally thinks it suits my skin, so I tried their steam cream for the first time.

If you're not familiar with steam cream, it is a high moisturizing cream made by high temperature steam technology. They do 3 types of steam cream, from oil and combination skin, dry skin and super dry skin which is the one I am using. It contains natural shea butter and Vitamin A & E with 6 formula free: Parabens, Talcs, Surfactant, Mineral oil, Benxen Alcohol and Artificial color. You're suppose to apply this cream as a last stage of your skin care routine.

This cream has literally changed my life. It doesn't have any unpleasant scent on it and even though it is a cream, it is not sticky at all. once you applied, the cream will set in under your skin within minutes and instantly feel moisturized the next day! I've been using this cream at least 3 times a week as a sleeping mask and it improves my skin tremendously!

I really recommend this product if you have really dry skin. Moreover, it is affordable and ibuybeauti shop offers few worldwide shipping with no minimum amount!

Thanks for reading! xx
