You are from Europe and love HaruHaru Wonder or want to start using Korean-Skincare? This bundle at koreanskincare.nl may be exactly what you've been waiting for! I came across this Set this morning and sharing is caring!

 💛THIS IS NOT A PAYED ADVERTIZEMENT!!💛

This set is perfect for beginners, to set up your very first K-Beauty routine! (I would reccomend to add a serum to complete the routine though!)

I can reccomend serums for sensetive skin in an additional post if you need help! 

The HaruHaru products are very gentle to the skin and products like the cream offer refills product to safe packaging waste. 

I started my KS journy with HaruHaru Products and I am super happy with them still! 
This set is great for sensetive skin as all the products come without alcohol or artifical scents! They are very gentle due to the perfect PH levels to fit the PH levels of healthy skin. 

I ordered this set right away and will give my honest review about each product and the complete set on my page. I can only tell you more about the moisturizer and cleansing gel as I didn't get to try the other two products so far. 

If you have any questions, please comment below! I will answer all of them as soon as possible!

Don't walk, RUN to get this HaruHaru Wonder set!

As I mentioned in my most recent review, I am a big fan of sheetmasks. No messy clean-up, super easy and quick to use and more gentle than peel-offs. 

But did you know you can use Toner as sheetmask too? Yes, you heard right! You could even call this a trend in the korean skincare scene!
Some brands even advertise their tonerpads with this function! Just use some of the tonerpads for forehead, chin and cheeks and let them sit there for 15-30 minutes. It works exactly like a normal sheetmask would and is a great alternative use of toner/toner pads. 

You can do this every other day instead of the usual toner use in your routine. I would reccomend doing it for the night routine. 

I recieved this advice during a conversation with a professional dermatologist and advisor for skincare products according to your personal skintype! 

I linked some toner pads for you to try this with as well 🌱 

If you don't like toner pads ypu can always use your toner with seperate toner pads and diy your own toner pads for a fave mask out of them! 💚

How a toner becomes a sheetmask

Just like drinks, food or medicine, skincare and make-up will also expire! It surprises me every time when I meet someone who doesn't know, especially because it seems to be the majority.

It is very easy to make sure used products are not expired and still safe to use. 
This blog covers how to find your products expiration date, products that usually last a little longer than the date suggests and most importantly why it is important to pay attention and rather throw expired product away than to continue its use.

How do you know the expiration date?
Foods, drinks and medicine usually states a very clear expiration date on its packaging. For most skincare this is very different. Skincare products feature the image of a capped container with one of these words written inside:

• 6M => expires after 6 months
• 8M => expires after 8 months
• 12M => expires after 12 months/1year
• (...)

The number always indicates the number of months your product is 100% safe to use. The "M" always refers to months. There is no year symbol and this way of providing the expiration date is a worldwide standart. 

Which products could last longer than statet on the label?
As an expiration date is always a suggestion - this goes for any product - the possible usage may lasts longer than labeled. 

Anyhow some products still do not expire after the stated period. 
This goes for soap bars and products with bigger armounts of alcohol, specifically perfume. 
Why is that so? Alcohol, like big armounts of sugar, oil and salt, is commonly used to pickle something. The alcohol conserves the other ingredients while also keeping a mixture more hygenic. Alcohol is a key ingredient for any kind of desinfection sprays and gels. 
Natural soap bars contain a lot of natural fats and oils. The chemical process of creating true soap is called saponification. 
As its been a long time since I last did this myself (I attended chemistry courses during highschool) I would advice you to check out the exact chemical procedure online, instead of me trying to explain it further. On an important note: This only counts for true soap bars. Many soapbars nowerdays don't actually contain any true soap anymore, because there is alternative ingredients that arent that rich in fats and oils, which is better for clothing, fabrics and more. 
As the expiration date is something founded in law, most products to be consumed have to give its consumers a suggestion about its expiration. 

Most products don't expire being unopend. Up 30 months unopend products stay safe to use. The expiration starts by using it and exposing it to excessive heat, cold or air. It also helps to make sure you use products with clean wahsed hands or clean tools. I added the general maximum-possible use in the pictures below!

Why should you follow the expiration date? 
While some products just slowly use their quality of scent, texture or color, others naturally perform chemical reactions overtime. Not all chemical reactions cause harm right away but can create irritating byproduct that may even "burn" the skin chemically. If a product you have been using safely for the longest time causes sudden irritations, fungal acne or more, it may be caused by the product simply expired. Sometimes it is safer to throw it away than forcing longer use. I know skincare and make-up can be quite expensive but the health risk simply is not worth it. Healing a damaged skin barrier is far more expensive too.

Skincare and Make-up expires - Here is what you need to know!

Is the new Some By Mi Lacto Soy Line worth a try? Please let me know! I would love to try the products of this line 🤍

Some By Mi Lacto Soy Line

I would really love to try japanese skincare! Sadly iam nowhere near funding a trip to japan (yet) but maybe any of you know a preferably EU based shop where i could order some products to try 💛 Much appreciated!

Where do you order japanese skincare?

I personally do not think this product needs the scent BUT as it does not effect my skin so I do not mind. If you know your skin cannot take scented products you should swap test it first! 

🌱HOLIKA HOLIKA 99% ALOE Soothing Gel🌱

The 99% ALOE Gel is the perfect product for dry skin, after-sun care and aloe vera lovers!

🌱Design: The moisturizing gel is shaped like an aloe vera leaf! The sticker on the back has two sides so the "glue-side" looks like an actual leaf! This design won an award too. (very deserved!) 

🌱Ingredients: As the name sais, this product is 99% aloe! Other products are various leaf and fruit extracts like centella and cucumber. The product is alcohol free BUT is scented! 

I really love the texture and color. It feels amazing on the skin and is my holy grail for hydrating my skin, especially after sun or during the night. I have sensetive-oily skin and this product, even though it is scented, works amazing for me. 

🌱Price: You can get this product for around 10€/$/£ (Iam from EU and pay 8.99€) 

I would not 99% but 100% buy this product again! But watch out! It is very popular everywhere and sold out many many times.

Hello Skincare lovers! This time I ordered this cream mask for a nice change in between my beloved sheet masks! I love to treat myself with masks after showering or after a long exhausting day and this mask really is perfect in every way! Lets get this review started 💛

🫘Packaging/Design🫘
Of course, as all other Beauty of Joseon products, this mask is packaged beautifully! What i like the most is the texture on the label and the scooping tool which is included in the box. This makes using this mask easier and more hygenic!

🫘How to use🫘
Scoop an appropriate armount of the fave mask onto your face and make sure you cover it with a gentle layer of product. For ke it was easier to apply 3 scoops to my face and massage it in after. If you do it like me, remember to wash your hands first! After the mask sat on your face for 5-10 minutes you gently massage it into the skin and rinse it off with lukewarm water right away. Pat the fave dry with a clean towel after. 

🫘My experience🫘
This mask fits my current routine beautifully as it is very gentle to the skin, containing natural/plant based ingredients. I really love the smell! It smells like a healthy vegan brownie alternative I sometimes bake (it uses beans too). Using it was very easy and I will defenitly use the scooping tool more often now. I made sure to clean it after and now i can use it for any creams and masks as well so its simply more hygenic. After I had washed the mask off, I continued my current fave routine. My skin has a beautiful glow to it and my pores feel less "dirty" too! Many seem to be empty and healhier now.

I reccomend using this product once a week.
I will defenitly reprder this product! 🫘🤎 

(Disclaimer: I do have some red/acne spots on my fave because i sadly have the habit of scratching my skin and scalp due to ADHD!)

Some people may want to be carefull using it with thier current routines as it contains salicylic acid.

 Overloading your skin with salicylic acid may cause a sunburn like chemical burn, especially to very sensetive skin. So be sure to check how you layer your products. 

Iam also very sensetive and as this is the only product in my routines that contain salicylic acid iam safe and sound and can profit from its pore cleaning effects! So just double check your routine first <3


Hello everyone! Iam a sensetive-oily skin type who was/is struggeling with acne outbreaks for many many moments in life and I got to say that I LOVE this product and here is why:

The texture and scent is very appealing to me. It smells herbal and natural, like it would be good for your body (which in my case it 100% was).

I usually apply cleansers with a special tool (in pictures) and it works amazing with this product. I used this cleanser for both day and night routine. (Routines below as well <3).

It always left my skin very soft and and well cleaned. This cleanser contains several amazing ingredience that will help you to clean your pores and benefit oily-acne prone skin. 

It leaves no resedue whatsoever and is very easy to apply and wash off (also without a tool like mines). 

I will defenitly buy this product again! I used the Haru Haru Wonder cleanser before and its a very nice cleanser but it didnt provide such huge inprovements to my skin condition as this anua one! I just feel like it is the perfect cleanser for my skin goals and my skin type. 

I use the Anua Cleansing  with Iunik Tea tree toner, Super matcha serum(some by mi), iunik centella tea tree gel (+suncare) for day and with cosrx power liquid porless toner, tea tree iunik serum and the same moisturizer for night. No issues with these combinations! 
But ofc I aim to improve my skin and skin routines further!

I would love to test the fitting Clay mask to this Anua Heartleaf Cleansing Foam in the future as well! Iam pretty sure it has amazing results too as its the same product line. 

The before and after is simply Amazing honestly!

There was nothing bad about this product and I may be using it again.🌼💛

As a big sheetmask and tea tree product lover, of course there had to be my first sheetmask review! 

This product was a free gift for a skincare order at the online-shop of my trust. (They give away one random free sheet mask for every order above 40€.)

🌱ingredient info🌱
This sheet mask has no bad ingredients for either oily, dry nor sensetive skin and is very soothing and calming. For more details check my photograph of the backing!

🌱How to use🌱
Cleanse your face, pat it dry after, and apply the sheetmask after. 
Sheetmasks can replace toner or toner and serums in your routine. They CAN they dont have to. I do not like to overload my skin with product personally. 
Sheetmasks usually stay on your face for 15-20 minutes and its very effective to use the leftover serum of the mask to pat it into your face or even neck and further areas. (I sometimes apply some to my arms as well, especially for sheetmasks with good
after-sun care effects). 

🌱design/packaging🌱
I personally really like the design of this mask. I tried other "types" of this brand too and all the packagings look very nice and go very well together. It's a typical sheetmask packaging.

🌱my experience🌱
I used this mask after showering and cleasning my face as a reward for the end of an exhausting day. I had it on my face for 20minutes and patted the rest of the masks liquid into my face after. I really liked the end result and parts of my currently minor to medi broken out face really calmed down after this. Many areas that were red/inflamed before, had calmed down very nicely. After this mask I continued my skincare routine with serum, moisturizer and a lip mask. 5/5 stars for this product! 

To me, there is nothing bad about this product!

🍯 This is my honest review about the A'pieu Honey & Milk Lip Sleeping Pack 🍯

I have been using this product for almost half a year and it is a fix part in my night routine. 
I came across this product because I have been using the corresponding Milk & Honey lip oil for daytime (its my favourite lip product). 

🍯packaging/design🍯
The product comes in a small plastic container with a twist on/off cap. It comes with an additional plastic lid you can easily put on and off. 

🍯How to use🍯
Apply the product on your lips before going to bed/as the last step of your night routine. 

🍯My experience🍯
The first thing you can notice (also for the lip oil) is the incredibly good scent. That alone makes this product amazing to me. The consistency is rich and oily. It feels very light and it lasts the whole night. This product helps me to keep my lips well hydrated during sleeping. I really love it! 

I will defenitly buy this product (and the lip oil) again! Especially because I have been getting many compliments for my lips💛🍯
