Let's play a game. I'll share two products and you'd choose 1, then once you do, you go ahead and share yours, and the next commenter will pick one, and so on.

I'll start:

Purito Centella Serum or Jumiso Super Soothing Serum?

THIS or THAT

✔️Leaves the skin feeling clean and refreshed without the squeaky clean feeling. I love how my skin always feels so soft after using this, and yet, I know it is not stripping it off its natural oils as I don&#39;t get that icky, tight feeling afterwards.
✔️Mild enough, even for morning use. I don&#39;t usually use cleansers in the morning bec they tend to make my skin dehydrated and that does not look good in photos lol. But I have been trying to use this some mornings, and it does not dry me out or irritate me.
✔️This also helps in drying out the pimples faster than normal. I also have not gotten crazy bad breakouts since I started using this, but maybe I&#39;m jinxing myself now lol.
✔️I do have lots of blackheads on the nose, and I can see how this helps in minimizing them. It also helps minimize the grit on the sides of my nose, and I appreciate that a lot.
✔️Love how this smells like fresh grapefruit! (This uses natural grapefruit peel oil for the scent--not anything artificial, but as always, YMMV)

〰️You would really feel this on your lips, which takes a bit of getting used to, especially if you&#39;re not much into balms like me. I also don&#39;t really feel the &quot;cooling effect&quot;, but that&#39;s fine. Doesn&#39;t really bother me. 
〰️With the exception of &quot;Sunkissed&quot;, the shades look a bit bright, so I do hope they could release warmer shades next time.

✔️First, I really like the idea of having a tinted lipscreen. Since the skin on our lips is very sensitive, it&#39;s good to know that we can easily protect it with the help of this product.
✔️Packaging is very cute and aesthetically-pleasing. Holds a good amount of product, too.
✔️It really does moisturize the lips, and makes sure that you are protected from having chapped lips. You can use it on its own, or under other lip products--and I actually enjoy that bec it makes playing with colors easy.

The bottle is very cute (though it's also quite popular right now, and I see some brands with almost the same aesthetic lol but it's fine). My only qualm with this is that it kinda makes it hard for the product.

This product is said to provide a radiant, dewy finish and a Korean glass skin glow. It contains 4 UV Filters (titanium dioxide, avobenzone, octinoxate, and octocrylene), as well as centella asiatica extracts to protect, moisturize, and whiten the skin.

It's only been a few days, but here's what I think:
🍀Love how this makes the skin look fresh! I don't think it's very dewy, but it has that demi matte finish (with a natural glow - - SWIPE to the 3rd pic to see how it looks on me) that is very flattering on anyone, I'd say. 
🍀Has a bit of a whitening / tone-up effect, but it still looks pretty natural so that's fine with me. As for the long term effects, I have yet to see that, but I don't really rely on sunscreens alone for whitening / brightening. 
🍀It's unscented, so perfect for scentsitive people. It also does not irritate my skin. 
🍀Super affordable! This is just 190 Php ($3.63) so it's definitely something that you can easily repurchase if you fall in love with it. 

Could be a little too matte or cakey at the sides of the nose if you use too much -- so be careful with application.

This is a talc-free powder that promises up fo 24H oil control, and is also waterproof, and sweatproof. Not only that, it also contains the 'miracle bloom'™️ complex --or a mix of skin-loving flowers such as camellia, chamomile, magnolia, hibiscus, and calendula. These are filled with antioxidants that nourish the skin! It alao has this lovely peachy, sweet florsl scent.

This gives off a delicate, soft-focus finish --which makes it really look good in photos! It's honestly perfect for those who have oily skin bec of its mattifying effect, but it also works for us who have combination, dry / dehydrated, or normal skin because you can easily build it up, esp if you use a cushion sponge or a brush. You can use it on its own, or as a setting powder for your base. 

Love that it lasts long and keeps your makeup fresh!

I don't really have anything bad to say about this. It's good, and it does the job so it's definitely worth repurchasing.

The 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗹𝘅𝗼 𝗚𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝟱𝗗 𝗛𝘆𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗔𝗰𝗶𝗱 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘂𝗺 has been my go-to AM serum for 5 or 6 weeks now. This contains 5 different types of hyaluronic acid, panthenol, and glacier water that hydrates the skin, prevents moisture evaporation, and purifies the skin. 

Love how this makes the skin look bouncy and fresh, which makes it such a great AM serum. It's viscous, but light, and isn't tacky. It's also unscented so it won't irritate you.

As someone who has combination skin, it's that time of year again when my skin gets into its more dehydrated side, so this one is a big help in making sure it does not get severely dry.
