* this product aims to give extra hydration to thirsty skin while improving the appearance of fine lines.
* its formula is free from artificial colourants, synthetic perfumes and ethanol.
* suitable for sensitive skin types, including skin suffering from milium.

personal thoughts:
i've never been a believer in eye creams and the ones l've tried in the past either stung my eyes or never had an actual effect on my skin. this by far is the best eye cream I have ever used! it's consistency is that of a cream-coloured, oily lotion that leaves an instant suppleness and a light unctuousness. it also includes very useful peptides in the formula which was a big win for me. this definitely offers real results!

for dry skin, i don't think the hydration and moisture this product provides is “that” adequate, however, it can be too heavy on an oily t-zone when applied under make-up

main ingredients:
~ Centella Asiatica Extract (Gotu Kola) - Soothing Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter) - Emollient
Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil (Jojoba) -
Emollient
Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil (Argan) - Emollient
Guaiazulene - Antimicrobial

personal experience:
~ i’ve been using this for a month now and it definitely did wonders for my skin, it became my go-to product every time I get breakouts! i also appreciate how i can use it for different skin troubles, personally, i love using this every time I pluck or thread my eyebrows as it really calms down skin irritation. the cream absorbs nicely but leaves a shiny finish so l mostly use this at night and sometimes during the day only if I really need to.

final verdict:
highly recommend this for those who suffer from breakouts and experience constant skin irritation. overall, it's still a great product that does exactly what it's supposed to and so it definitely deserves 5 stars!

i don’t think i had any negative experience with this product, in fact, it’s one of my holy grails!

key ingredients:
~ 70% Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate
~ 10% Propolis Extract ~ Pro-Biome Complex
price:
~ retails for $23.80 on @wishtrend's website

packaging:
~ comes in a luxurious golden glass jar with a white twist cap. the packaging itself feels very premium and is actually a bit heavy.

texture:
~ the texture of the product is a thick gel-like cream which feels really light and silky on the skin.

personal thoughts:
~ i prefer using this in the morning since i find that my skin requires a heavier source of moisture at night. the product is easy to layer with other product since it dries pretty quickly and is light on the skin. it's also free from artificial fragrance, instead, it has a sweet, honey-like natural scent. personally, it's one of the best moisturizers that i've tried!! aside from the moisture it gives, it also helped a lot in calming my inflamed skin. i highly recommend this for those who have oily & acne-prone skin.

If you’re the type who likes intense pigment on your blushes, this may not be for you

Claims:
~ Subtle color payoff blends into your own skin tone to create blushing cheeks. The color stays on throughout the day with matte finish without oxidizing or caking.

Packaging:
~ The blush comes in a clear round compact case with a minimalistic white box. Aside from its minimalistic look, 1 personally love how travel-friendly the product is because of its size.

Texture, Finish & Longevity
~ Feels smooth & rich, though it produces a lot of fall-out when used with a brush. The blush also has a matte finish with a slight glow therefore giving the face more dimension. As for the longevity, it's able to sit on the skin for a few hours without caking.

Pigment
~ The pigment is not too intense, but is buildable. Perfect for that soft, natural look!

Final thoughts:
~ As someone who is picky when it comes to blushes, ! was easily drawn by this one! I just love the finish it gives to the skin as it makes my skin look a lot healthier and glowy. It's definitely going into my list of favorite blushes!

using the product alone without any moisturizer would not be enough to lock the moisture in the skin

key ingredients:
* 70% polysaccharide extracted from aloe vera
* malachite extracts

benefits:
* replenishes moisture on the skin without any feeling of heaviness or residue
* has anti-inflammatory properties
* improves overall skin texture & promotes radiance
* cruelty-free & fragrance-free

personal thoughts:
i've been using this for 2 weeks now and it has somehow helped in providing moisture to my skin, i found it easy to incorporate the product into my routine since it works well with some of my other products that contain active ingredients. bottomline, it's a good product to try out specially if want an extra boost of hydration for your skin without breaking the bank!
