So enough of the chitchat, I was browsing through this new beauty stall, Beauty in Seoul and they have a lot of Korean products and a lot of discounts too. I found this new product Epona, I actually haven't heard of this product before and I got it with a 60% discount so yay for me.




The packaging is quite simple, it's not fancy or anything. To be honest, it's not that eye catching but that's not really important as long as it works.

So without further adieu, let us start the review.

Product Claims:

As you can see on the packaging it claims to have a moisturizing effect, it's hypoallergenic and it provides a silk therapy.

On the photo below, the consistency is very silky and smooth and it is transparent. It also has a florally kind of scent which I like. It lathers quickly which is what I like so it means that your scalp and hair can be thoroughly clean.



What I love about this product is that it doesn't have a strong scent to it, which means it's good for me. Although, because my hair is full of chemicals and products, after using this shampoo, it somehow dries up my hair when it's still wet. But after drying it, it feels a lot softer and feels as if I used a conditioner but I didn't.

Where Could I get this and how much?

If you're from the Philippines, you can get this at one of Beauty In Seoul's stall in different malls nationwide. You can find them on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/Beautyinseoulphil/

You can also get this on eBay and other websites. The price is ranging from $5-$10 but I got mine for around $3 only because it was on 60% sale.

Here are some of the few photos of me using this shampoo before and after:

 Look how frizzy my hair was. LOL. I have to constantly iron my hair to at least straighten it which is another reason to damage my hair.


After washing my hair, because my hair has a lot of chemicals on there, it kinda frizzed a bit while it was still wet so I couldn't comb it well. I waited for it to dry to finally comb it.

After Epona:

What are my thoughts about this product?

Would I recommend this product?

Hi, everybody! Today, I will be sharing with you my review of the RA & Gowoori Real Kill White Whitening Cream.

So I'm not a skincare expert, I used to invest more on makeup products rather than skin care products. My routine used to only include cleansing foam, toner, then moisturizer, and nothing more. Then I realized that taking care of my skin is more important because you'll see good results in the long run.

So this is the first item outside of my usual skincare routine that I've ever tried. Let's start the review.

Packaging:

It's very simple but very elegant. One thing I was a bit concerned is you have to scoop the product with your own fingers so it's probably not that hygienic. Just be sure to wash your hands thoroughly before using it, or ask your friends to wash their hands before letting them dip their hands into the product.



Of course, I couldn't understand what the label or the box says because it's in Korean but says here that it has 50g worth of products.

What it claims to do:

This product has been causing a huge rave on Facebook groups claiming that it instantly whitens your skin and helps remove pimples and acne. Who wouldn't want that, right? 

Its texture is very creamy and somehow oily but it leaves a matte finish to your skin. It also claims to provide an instant whitening effect look but also has a long-lasting effect to whiten your skin in the long run of course.

Different ways to use this product:

• Substitute for makeup/makeup base or primer: This is a great product for those who don't wanna go out with too much makeup. This can be a really good product to make you look fresh and achieve a no-makeup makeup look. I use this when I'm too lazy to put makeup on. You can also use this as a primer because of its matte effect. It gives more texture and glow onto your skin. 

Note: If you have dry skin, I definitely recommend putting on a moisturizer first and let it set. Do not make the same mistakes that I did. Because this product is very matte, it would be really patchy and would emphasize the dry areas of your face.

How much and where can I get this product?

You can get this by joining this group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1517778125191827/
Or search it through Shopee. You can get this at around 400-500 PHP or around 8-10 USD.

What are my thoughts about this product? Is it worth the hype?

I think it definitely is, I've been using this for a while and it's very effective. Although I can say that it gives an instant whitening effect,  I couldn't say if it really whitens my skin after how many uses. It also tends to be oily throughout the day but not that greasy or heavy.

Overall, I would give this product a 7/10. It's a great product but it still has areas to improve!

NOTE: This product already has an improved version which is the velvety white cream, which I am yet to try.

Would I recommend this?

Hi everyone! So my most awaited package arrived and I got so excited to try them out. I ordered this permanent hair color cream from Ms. Saeli because the colors are so hard to find in the market. I purchased Ash Grey and Ash Brown. I was planning on mixing these two but as soon as I get to the process, I thought that the colors won't really show because the mix would've been bad so I only used the Ash Grey.







You can see on the chart above on how the colors will look depending on your current hair color. Mine was the first one from the chart.

I didn't want to bleach my hair and I don't want to take that risk because I've experienced super freezy and ugly hair so I don't wanna go back to that road again. LOL.

Once you open the box, you'll have four packets, two developers and two hair changing color cream. The instructions are also printed inside the box which I don't have any pictures of anymore.


How to Use

1. Mix 1 part and 2 parts at the same ratio and apply the mixture evenly over the entire hair.
2. Leave the room at room temperature for 20 minutes.
3. Thoroughly apply the rest of the cream to the roots where it has not been applied for 10-15 minutes.
4. Rinse well and shampoo over time.

PROS:

Hello everyone! I'm sure most of you have been waiting for the review and swatches of this very pretty and cute mini luggage carrier from Peripera.































Korean Cosmetics are very popular with gimmicks and making cute packaging for their makeup and that's what I really love about them. They don't just look good but they are also of good quality.

I got really intrigued of this product because it's been causing a hype on Korean cosmetics lovers. Luckily, a friend sent this to me and made me giggle with joy so thank you very much to my friend, Christian Jay for giving me this very cute product that I couldn't afford myself. LOL.




So without further adieu, let us start the review (oohh, that rhymes)

This mini luggage consists of 5 cute products from Peripera. These products are only samples so you can buy each of these in a larger container, if you fell in love with the swatches which I did.

The luggage comes in two colors, yellow and pink. The colors are in pastel that's why I'm really in love with them. They also have these cute little wheels and a handle, just like a regular luggage and you can put the stickers as a design to your luggage.



The products inside are

• Peripera Ink Velvet #2 (2.7g)
• Peripera Ink Airy Velvet #5 (2.7g)
• Peripera Vivid Tint Water #3 (3.5g)
• Peripera Ink Concealer (4.2g)
• Peripera Ink Multi-Shafowing (2.7g)

Ink Airy Velvet #5

I'm definitely in love with this lip color, it's like a pale pink that somehow matches my real lip color. It made it look like I wasn't wearing anything. Out of all the item that I had from this luggage, this was the first one that I got emptied because I really loved it. When it comes to the texture, it's really airy and helps smoothen your lips too so it's great and it's not heavy with the lips. I would definitely purchase the original size of this.

VIVID WATER TINT #3

 This one almost had the same color as the first one, but it has a different and lighter texture than the airy velvet. What I'm not a fan of this product is that it's super watery, hence the name. It's getting all over the place unlike a regular lip tint, but it gives a very nice color and stays long I can say. It's also good for a no makeup makeup look.

INK VELVET #2

Now this lip color is the brightest tone, it has a corally-reddish color and I love it. I don't put much of this product because it's very bright so make sure you don't go overboard with this one if you have the same skintone as me. It's texture is velvety and it has a very sweet scent which I love, the only problem is that you might lick your lips because of the smell.

INK CONCEALER

First of all, I'm sorry for looking funny here, I'm just trying to show you the swatch unblended. So as you can see this is atleast 3 shades lighter than my normal skintone it's almost very white. What I love about this concealer is it doesn't crease, it doesn't move and it's very light on the face unlike other concealers. This one, I loved! And it's very easy to blend as well.

INK MULTI SHADOWING

What's that? You can't even see the shade because it's so light. I think it's because this shade is meant for Korean Skintone and as you can see I have tanned skin  so it doesn't really show. I also think that this is meant to be a not heavy shadowing or shading cream but it doesn't really do much for me so this is the product I use the least out of all the five.

PROS:

• Good for traveling
• Good addition to your collection
• You get to try the samples of each product
• Each product has a very good quality
• You can re-use the luggage as a makeup case for traveling
• It's so pretty!

CONS:

Final Rate: 4/5

I gave it a 4/5 because I didn't see any flaw to this product, I mean how could you? It's very pretty. The only product that didn't work much for me is the contouring/shadowing one but I still use it sometimes.

Overall, this is a very cute product for those who are collecting cute products from Korea. Was it worth the money? Yes and no. Yes because you get to try the products and not waste some of it if you're not a fan. No because if you actually loved it, you might buy the original size of each sample which will cost you more money like me so that's a no. LOL.


Overall, I think Peripera is a promising product and I can't wait to try the variety of their products. Kudos to the creativity of their packaging, colors and quality of each product!


Let me know what product do you want me to try next on the comments below.


Till then, byieeee!!! ;)

HI everyone, so on my previous post I talked about Yuki HD Cosmetics' Soft Matte Lippies and it definitely received a lot of love so thank you so much! For today, we'll be talking about the same brand's product, a lip & cheek tint.

This is a must have for girls like me who are inlove with natural looks. I am obsessed with tints, I order them even with the same swatches, mostly because of the packaging and all. But what I noticed with some brands, they don't usually offer a variety of colors when it comes to tints but with this type of brand, I fell in love with the swatches so let's start talking about the tints.

Here's what I found about these tints:

These Argan lip smackers are a revolutionary lip oil treatment that works to condition, hydrate, revive, and replenish lips instantly for the long term.

This product claims to be

• 100% pure argan oil infused that adds a hint of color to your lips while providing deep hydration that nourishes and soothes your lips
• Relieves dryness and protects your lips from environmental conditions
• Coconut water flavored formula melts into your lips, absorbing instantly for a lightweight, non-sticky luminous shine.
• Hypoallergenic
• Gluten Free
• Cruelty Free
• Paraben Free
• Dermatologist approved

Let's head on to the swatches

PROS:

• Very affordable

• Doesn't leave a heavy feeling
• Transfer proof

CONS:

• To be honest I couldn't find any flaw to this product, it fades after eating sometimes but a little retouch won't bother me. :)

So overall, I would give this product a 5/5. 

Hi everyone, or should I say, hi TS beauties! So if you are following my previous posts, I attended a super fabulous event last two weeks and it was the launching party of The Skin Bureau. So they gave away the Ultimate Facial Set after the party and I promised to make a review of the product.

It's been two weeks since I've been using the products and I've had a terrible skin condition for the past month and it really bothered me a lot because every time a pimple disappears, a new one comes and it's so frustrating. I stopped using the products that I thought were harming my skin but then I also thought that maybe it was because of my hormones or something (I will definitely have it checked if it still keeps coming up)


The Skin Bureau Political Ultimate Facial Set consists of the following:
1. Soap
2. Day Toner & Night Toner
3. Day Cream & Night Cream




These products are animal cruelty free, good for teens 13 years old above and guys can use this set as well. I mentioned that on my previous post. http://www.dbeautyjournal.com/2017/06/the-skin-bureau-official-launching-party.html

Here are the descriptions and photos of each product courtesy of The Skin Bureau's Official Facebook Page






So you already have an idea on how each product works but let me also give you the instructions on how to use it.

1. Wash your face with the President Pretty Soap
2. After washing your face, apply the toner using a cotton ball and clean your face thoroughly
3. Apply the creams accordingly after doing your other skin care routines. (Apply the day gel before applying your makeup)

Now let's talk about the products individually.

The President Pretty Soap

You have read the claims of this soap through the description above. The packaging is nice, it's wrapped in plastic with the description of the product. It's simple, not that fancy but not cheap looking either. I'm very intrigued with the black squares on the soap, it sort of looks like a jelly. Haha.








First of all, I don't like the scent of this product and that's my first impression with it. This soap is very stingy as well, it tightens and dries your face BUUUUT... It does fries out your pimples and leaves your face with no trace of blemishes at all! I'm sooo impressed with this soap because I've been using facial foam cleansers but I haven't came across to a product as effective as this!


To sum it all up, here are the pros and cons
