[Review] Nature Republic Hawaiian Fresh Seaweed Peel-off


Hello Cuties~ how have you guys been? today I will be reviewing Nature Republic's Hawaiian Fresh Seaweed Peel-off!!! I bought this a long time ago and have used it a while too so I decided to do a review on it. I have not tried anything mask that are peel offs, which means that when put on the face, its pasty looking and after a while it dried up into a sheet and then just peel it off. The Hawaiian Fresh line in general is very good for helping with the pores. Below are some pictures showing the product and how it looks like on the skin! I use this product whenever I felt like my skin have a lot of impurities on them.
There are no instruction to put this product on exactly, so I can give some tips for you!
  • Squeeze some of the product on to your fingers then spread it all over the forehead, then cheeks, the nose, etc.
  • Make the layer to be a little thin.
  • When you put it on, don't rub it around your skin, just slowly spread the product around enough to cover the whole face.
  • Make sure all the products connects, so when it dries, it'll be easier to take it off all in one piece. (with this method, it doesn't take time to peel all of them off and it's easy to dispose)


PROS:
  • The product is a peel off- which is fun to play with.
  • The seaweed could help with lifting the impurities in the pores and tighten them too.
  • It also makes the skin feel really soft after.

CONS:
  • It will get a little messy on the fingers.
  • There are not enough product to last more than 20 applications for the whole face. So I recommend this once a week or once a month.
  • If you put on a thick layer, it will take a longer time to dry!
COST:
~$9.90 without tax in Hawaii

[Review] Tony Moly Changing Magic Foot Peeling Shoes

Good afternoon Cuties~! It is day one of Spring break for us and I am happy that I could finally upload another post to review!! On this hot break, I decided to give my foot a chance to relax and enjoy its own beauty. How am I going to do that you say? I had decided to try Tony Moly's changing magic foot peeling shoes. I had heard so many reviews on this but I never get to try them. They are a pair of sheets looking socks that you just slip onto your feet. Their main purpose is to peel all the dead skin or calluses off of your feet in a few days.




This is how it looks like on my feet and the results of the mask.

PRO:
  • It is shaped like a sock so it is perfect to move around in.
  • The solutions are held inside so nothing spills on the outside.
  • It works well, it actually made my foot peel off a lot of skin.


CON:
  • The inside with the solution is slippery so you have to be careful when you walk around.
  • It does not have quick results, but it will take days for it to see results.


COST:
Around $4 in Hawaii

[Review] Tony Moly Prestige Carat SmartAB BB Cream

Hey Cuties! long time no post! sorry about that! However, I am back with another review, but this time it is of a foundation. I am a big fan of BB creams so far ever since I discovered it in my high school days! I love it because it doesn't harm my skin and it have all these great benefits that could help my skin, escpecially their ability of coverage! When I first used a BB cream from The Face Shop, I am in love since it covered my blemishes and nastay things. This time I am here trying Tony Moly's Prestige Carat SmartAB BB cream. This BB cream is different from all the other BB creams that I had tried before because it is not as liquidy but instead more of a balm. Below is a picture of the packaging ( I love it because it is purple and it is so shiny!) and how it looks like on the inside, also how it looks like on my skin.
SPF30 PA++

PROS:
  • It have a great coverage.
  • The colors are pigmented, so it goes on smooth.
  • It came with a vibrating brush for an even finish and application, also an extra sponge to change.
  • It have SPF30++ which is great since I live in Hawaii.
  • The balm have a lot so I think it will last me for about a year if I use it everyday.

CONS:
  • I have dry skin on some areas, so the balm made it more noticeable that my skin is flaky. 
  • Since it is a balm formula, it does not provide me enough moisture throughout the day.
  • This is my first time using a vibrating brush, so I accidently put a lot on during my first trial, so I think you need a precision of how much you would need, or else you will look pale.

COST:
I'm not sure how much this cost, since someone gave this to me as a gift. 
However, it is around $50.85 on Amazon!!

This is the result of my makeup with the balm!

PHOENIX \m/ UPDATE:

Thanks for reading Cuties! I'll post more in the future~!

[Review] Nature Republic Botanical Crystal Shadow #2 Ruby Pink

Hello Cuties~ Sorry I have not been uploading for awhile, but today I am back with a cosmetic makeup review. Today I will review Nature Republic's Botanical Crystal Shadow #2 in Ruby Pink. I am a big fan of shimmery eye shadows, since they make my eyelids pop with color. Recently I have been trying the shimmery eye shadow, which came in a cute little tube. I am glad that it came with a sponge brush as an applicator, this makes applying much easier. Below I did a swatch of the eye shadow on my hand, it looks very smooth and pigmented. 

PRO:

  • It had a brush for easy application.
  • The amount that it come with would last for months.
  • The color is pigmented, so if you apply a light layer, it would have a very natural shimmer.

CON:

  • The glittery texture does not stick to my eyelids for a very long time, I advise you guys to use a primer beforehand.
  • I would not use this daily, but occasionally when I want to put some colors on my eyelids.

COST:

  • About $5-6

[Review] The Face Shop Face It Extreme Brush Pen Eyeliner #2 Brown

Hey Cuties~! how have you been? School have started for most of you and me too. It is time to try a new eyeliner for a natural definition of the eye. Today I will be posting about The Face Shop's Face It Extreme Brush Eyeliner Pen. I have been experiencing with different types of eyeliners before, but I find eyeliners with a thin brush to be easier to use. Recently I have been using brown eyeliners instead of black because it has a natural tone to it, and find black eyeliners to be a little harsh, which is good for going out and partying. I have been using this eyeliner for a while, and I am in love! Here is a picture of the eyeliner and how thin it is on my eyelids! I think it is perfect for everyday eyeliner!


PROS;

  • It is a liquid brush eyeliner for easy application.
  • It is thin, so you can control the length of the eyeliner.
  • It is long lasting.

CONS:

  • It might smudge a little.
  • Sometimes when I apply, the ink does not come out as well, so I have to go over a few coats.
COST:
Around $10 in Hawaii



Thank you so much for reading Cuties~! Have a nice day!

[Review] Nature Republic By Flower Auto Eyebrow #2 Brown

Hey Cuties! Today I am going to review Nature Republic's By Flower Auto Eyebrow #2 in Brown. Since My eyebrows are naturally hairless, I wanted to use something to fill them in to look nice and neat. I want to give them definition without making them look fake. I like this eyebrow pencil because I do not have to sharpen it and just twist it to get more. 

Pros:

  • Very nice texture, which is very smooth.
  • It comes with a brush so you can comb through your eyebrows.
  • It is an auto-eyebrow pencil so no sharpener involved!
  • The length of the color pencil is very long, so it will last you through a long time.


Cons:

  • The tip of the pencil is sharp at the start, once you use more, it becomes less sharp.
  • Not waterproof!


COST:

  • Cost around $3.90 in Hawai'i
