💛 @somebymi YUJA NIACIN BRIGHTENING SLEEPING MASK

🤩 Some months ago this product was presented to me as an innocent mini-size, and at that point I just thought that was just another nice cream, one between thousands. Well, I was totally wrong. 

🔆 This became the first product I decided that will stay will me for my whole life, I know, a huge statement considering that I fell in love with it just in the first week of use. 

🍋 The scent is incredible: citric and fresh, the texture super creamy and gel like, it’s super smooth and spreads over the face very easily with a tiny cooling sensation... I know, sounds like a dream. 

✨ This overnight mask brightens and clarifies skin thanks to its amazing formula, packed with vitamins and moisturising ingredients, such as 70% Yuja, 5% Niacinamide, Glutathione and Arbutin. With those key ingredients I can even see results over night. My red marks are less apparent and less inflamed. 

🌙 I usually apply it after my moisturiser and before my face oil, so that I can keep the moisture all night long. The next morning I just wash it off with water, that’s it. 

💸 PRICE
This mask is quite affordable, since it is sold between a prize range of 14-17 € in different retailers: @yesstyle @stylevana_sv @stylekorean_global @skinthinks @koreanandbeautyzgz 

👌 I think it’s a great price, a full jar last me for 2 months or so, and you enjoy it every single night.

💭 OVERALL THOUGHTS
 After this love letter to this mask, I can assure you that my skin the next morning feels bright and hydrated, and over the time I have seen an improvement not only in my skin tone and dullness, but also my acne red scars, which are impossible to get rid of. However, I haven’t seen any changing results with my dark circles... they are indestructible. 

🏆 If your are looking to boost your antioxidants game but you don’t want to over use your actives on day, maybe you can try doing it over night. My skin loves Vitamin C, I think it’s because of genetics, but this product I would say that this product is in skincare podium so far.

🔵 @mizon_official HYALURONIC ULTRA SUBOON CREAM

💦 After finishing and trying many others gel type and hydrating creams, I asked in @koreanandbeautyzgz for a light texture cream that will provide me a high level of hydration without sensitizing my skin. This new product was very promising since the formula has a 30% of Hyaluronic Acid...

🤔 In the past I had tried many: @drjart MicroBiome Water Cream was too light for the first months of winter, @cerave Moisturizing Cream too heavy for the day time, and the @belifusa Aqua Bomb stung because of its formulation with alcohol. 

💙 This new cream was a dream. At that moment I was in my journey of rebalancing my dehydrated skin, so I was still some kind of oily and acne prone, but I needed tons of moisture without greasiness. This became the perfect transition cream if you just have started your transformation but not finished it yet. 

🌊 Its not to light but not to thick, sits well under makeup, keeps the moisture all day long, and paires really nicely with most of my sunscreens. Doesn’t have a scent and its super soft, you can feel that glycerin and hyaluronic acid are at the top of the ingredients list. 

💸 PRICE
This is cream is sold for 8,85/14€ by different retailers by @yesstyle , @koreanqueens , @koreanandbeautyzgz , @mizon_official or @lookfantastic . Its price is quite affordable and I really like that you pay what you get and even more. 

💭 OVERALL THOUGHTS
As you could guess I really love this cream, its my perfect match for transitional weather. In winter I need to pair it with other super hydrating products, since at the end of the day I feel I need a tiny bit more of hydration; but on summer may be a perfect match now that I have fully recovered and converted in dry skin. 

♻️ Also, I would love to purchase it in a bigger packaging, 45ml only last me 1 month or so. I recycled the three tubes I consumed but it would be nice to reduce some material waste. 

💧 However, this cream is one of my huge recommendations for those of you who are dehydrated, sensitive and on a budget. You will enjoy this for sure!

None at all. I dont give it five stars cause i would  like it to hydrate more.

💜 @klairs.global SUPPLE PREPARATIONUNSCENTED TONER

⚖️ Balances your skin pH level, enhance the effectiveness of other products and creates a perfect canvas for your skincare routine. This water toner offers a beautiful blend of plant based plants, hyaluronic acid and centella asiatica among others, as the original scented version. It hydrates without greasiness, allows layering and can help your skin when it’s super sensitized. 

🧪 Reformulating one of the best selling products for a brand is definitely a clever move. Now, sensitive skins, like myself, can join and get its benefits. We could say effortlessly that this toner may be an universal skin type product. 

🧖🏼‍♀️ I usually applied it as a toner in my morning and evening routine, and I love reusing it if I’m a little bit dehydrated this day. 

💸 PRICE
Its prize is amazing, lets be clear. Goes from 18€ to 24€ depending on where you decide to buy it. The thing I love the most is that is suuuper accessible, I can purchase it physically here in different shops, so its very convenient. 
@miincosmetics @yesstyle @lookfantastic @koreanandbeautyzgz @perfumeriajulia 

💭 OVERALL THOUGHTS
I really love this toner, and its perfect for a normal skin day: not too humid and hot, not to dehydrated and freezy. By this I mean that is just fine for my skin in winter, but I need a bit more. However, this is my go to when my skin is super compromised or I’m running out of toner.

🍬 @banilaco_official CLEAN IT ZERO CLEANSING BALM

🧼 After my successful introduction into the world of double cleansing, I purchased the cult favourite of many and best seller product of the brand: The Clean It Zero Balm. 

🤷 I didn’t have much to expect, since cleansing balms had just become the best step on my night time skincare routine after years using micellar water, which used to irritate my skin. 

👃 But, I didn’t want it to smell. The previous one I used, the Heimish Balm, had a strong citrus scent that I didn't enjoy.

🥭 I was very attracted by its claims: hypoallergenic formula, soft and light weigh texture, natural exfoliating and brightening factors such as papaya and acerola extracts... 

💄 It removed my waterproof mascara like wonders, although I kept seeing white for ten minutes or so; didn’t irritate my super sensitive skin or clogged my pores, and it emulsified perfectly without leaving a greasy film on my face. 

🛍 The packaging is one of my favourite parts of it. It comes in a super cute holographic box, its spatula and lid are convenient and prevent the entrance of dirt... just perfect. 

💸 PRICE
It varies from 9.99$ in @stylekorean_global till 14.35€ in @ or 16.35€ in @yesstyle , a quite reasonable price tag... But, here in Spain I really don’t know why it is sold from 24€ till 29€. They double up the price... I really can’t understand it. 

💭 OVERALL THOUGHTS
Because of its price I just decided to move on and search for more affordable options. Student budget problems. 

💖 Since that moment I have tried many different balms, and anyone of them is even close. It has become my ideal first cleanser and my basic standard now that I’m looking for other options. 

🧖 Furthermore, it was perfect to do a little face massage while removing my makeup. It was time for myself and relax after a long day. 

🤔 Also, this valentines week I was thinking about to post selflove and selfcare related content. What do you think about creating three post of the same topic but from different perspectives (the three series of my feed: All About, Skin Report and Skin Science), so that you everything about a theme. Tell me!!

🌚 Well... lets finally talk about this one, cause I already have some thoughts... Some of you may remember it because of my stories, those in which I transformed in Snow White, a Geisha or a clown, you can choose. 

🍊 I quote Frudia: “Tone-up sunscreen brightens dull skin tone with UV blocking effect as soon as you put in on”. Yes, this is true, just because the moment that you spread this sunscreen over your face your skin will decrease 100 tones. If you don’t believe you can swipe to see my first impressions. 

⏱ Some time after the application the white-cast SLIGHTLY disappears, but even your fingers are still white... it is surreal.

👍 About its texture: is thick. It’s a cream, I’m not surprised, and I'm okay with it. It leaves a hydrating feeling and doesn’t peel after. Its wearable under makeup and its very comfortable throughout the day. 

👶 However, I noticed a quite familiar smell... Baby powder. Maybe that’s the answer to the “tone-up” effect.

🍓 It also contains 6 types of fruits seed oils, so it may be sensitizing for some people. In my experience, It didn’t compromised my skin, and I’m super sensitive to everything. 

💭 OVERALL THOUGHTS
I know it is a journey finding your sunscreen match, and it gets worse if you are looking for a Mineral one, when you have to assume that a high sun protection comes with a uncomfortable white-cast. 

❌ If you have a darker skin tone than me (maybe the 95% percent of you reading this), run. Don’t look back. I can say surely that this has been the sunscreen with the heaviest white-cast that I have ever test out. 

💔 I have read really good reviews of the FRUDIA Sun Essence, however I don’t know if testing another sunscreen from this brand may worth its price... I really hate wasting products and I will try my best to finish this one. I’m sorry FRUDIA.

💸 PRICE
It cost me only 5€ here in Spain, a really good price for a Korean sunscreen. That’s what attracted me to purchase it and test it out. I don’t know why it is sold in other retailers for 9 or 10 $, but FRUDIA decided like so.
