IUNIK PROPOLIS VITAMIN EYE CREAM - REVIEW

February 18, 2023

Assalamualaikum mina-san! (eh tiber cakap Jepun kekeke)


Many people label eye cream as some unnecessary skincare but as for someone who have dry skin and eye bag that I inherited from my ancestors (genetically, lol), I need eye cream to ensure my dark circle are not getting worst. But seriously, regular moisturizers are too harsh for eye areas and kinda sting my eyes. I tried not to use eye cream and depends solely on toner and moisturizers before but my oh my... I became a total panda. Nope, I became hantu kak limah because panda is cute but me with eyebags is not TT_TT


But the thing about eye cream is, like some people say, it's just some expensive moisturizers and I can't help but agree. Why the ___ does eye cream needs to be friggin expensive? *crying in millionaire*



After hunting for several weeks for the best affordable eye cream, I finally decided to try iUNIK Propolis eye cream. Since the reviews are quite convincing and the price (of course) caught my eye. Its below RM35 and since I used Cosrx Propolis toner and it's good for my skin, why not propolis eye cream, right? 



||     iUNIK PROPOLIS VITAMIN EYE CREAM                    

So, iUNIK is a brand launced in 2016 and has been in market for quite some time. It is a Korean skincare brand that focuses on minimalism and skincare made from natural ingredients. Oh, they are also dedicated to produce products with ample sizes at fair prices!



Propolis is not a new ingredient when it comes to health, doesn't matter skin health or body health. This eye cream is formulated with propolis extract, sea buckthorn fruit extract, niacinamide and also green tea leaf extract - all known for their functions and benefits in skincare. If you're worried about fine lines and wrinkles around your eyes, this cream could be the one for you as it's great for anti-aging, especially considering the price that's way less than majority of the eye cream in the market.


Although this eye cream targets those who have dull skin, dark circles, fine lines and dry skin; oily / combination / acne-prone skin also can benefit from this eye cream as it suits all skin types. 



||     INGREDIENTS                    

Here are the list of ingredients for this eye cream:

Propolis Extract (40.5%), Water, Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract (0.2%), Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Niacinamide, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Cetearyl Olivate, Betaine, Glycosyl Trehalose, Camellia Japonica Seed Oil, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Acrylated Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Sorbitan Olivate, Beta-Glucan, Lactobacillus/Rice Ferment, Lactobacillus/Ginseng Root Ferment Filtrate, Lactobacillus/Soybean Ferment Extract, Saccharomyces/Potato Extract Ferment Filtrate, Saccharomyces/Coix Lacryma-Jobi Ma-yuen Seed Ferment Filtrate, Xanthan Gum, Centella Asiatica Extract, Pentylene Glycol, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Polygonum Cuspidatum Root Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate, 1,2-Hexanediol, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Caprylyl Glycol, Behenyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Ammonium Acryloyl/Dimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose, Distearate, Tromethamine, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Allantoin, Disodium EDTA, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Ethylhexylglycerin, Adenosine, Hydroxydecyl Ubiquinone (300 ppm), Aspalathus Linearis Extract, Caramel, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Yucca Schidigera Root Extract, Commiphora Myrrha Resin Extract,Perilla Frutescens Leaf Extract, Copper Tripeptide-1, Acetyl/Hexapeptide-8, Limonene, Linalool


Well.... that's a long ingredient list! 



||     TEXTURE AND HOW TO USE                    

When to use eye cream:

    1. After cleansing
    2. After toner
    3. Before makeup and sunscreen


It is recommended that you use eye cream every morning and night. As for me, I use it every time after I clean my face, just like toner as my skin is dry and I don't like the feeling of it without any moisturizing skincare. Here's how to use it:

    1. Apply appropriate amount of product on your eye area 

    2. Using your ring finger, tap the product at your eye area 

Done! 

The amount of the eye cream depends on your needs and as for me, I usually squeeze it on my hands first (around 1/2 finger length) and divide it between my eyes. If I feel that my eyes are moisturized enough and I still have some product left, I'll apply it at the area at the corner of my lips or smile line areas.

The texture is lightweight and slightly yellow in color which I think is due to the propolis, it absorbs really well and does not have any scent. 


The tip



||     MY REVIEW                    

Now, the part that we've all been waiting for~

Pros:

🐝   Lightweight, does not feel overwhelming 

🐝   Unscented 🤩🤩🤩

🐝   Can be used as face cream too! 

🐝   Moisturizing, and brightens a little

🐝   Absorbs really well

🐝   Minimal packaging and does not squeeze out too much product at a time

🐝   Improves skin around eye area

🐝   Price is very reasonable!

🐝   Makes makeup around eye smoother


Cons:

🍯   None so far


Where to grab?

Price : RM34.90 each (30ml)

You can get it at Wako or Shopee


🍨   This eye cream works quite well for fine lines


🍨   Use this day and night for at least a week or two to see the obvious result. No skincare can change your skin condition in just 1 day, but you can certainly see that the eye bag is not getting worst, and your skin will feel better. Be careful with product that can change your skin in just 1 use as it may contain harmful ingredients!


Till then, thank you for reading (and please come again for another post haha!)

LANEIGE RADIAN-C SUN CREAM REVIEW

February 2, 2023

 Assalamualaikum & hello again~


Sunscreen is a staple for my skincare so I am always trying out new sunscreen more often than other skincare products. This time, I got my hands on the Laneige Radian-C Sun Cream. I honestly never thought of trying this product as the price range is a bit too expensive but I got this on sale and it's almost half of the original price so... Why not?




||        LANEIGE RADIAN-C SUN CREAM        

I don't think Laneige is a brand that I need to introduce and literally everyone know about this brand. Even people who don't really pay attention to Korean skincare have heard of this brand as it is sold at Sephora. 



Radian-C is a line of skincare by Laneige that highlights Vitamin C as the main ingredients. Vitamin C  is known to work wonders in brightening up our skin, reduces dark spots and so much more benefits. This line has been introduced back in 2020 and are 3 products in this line which are Radian-C Advanced Effector, Radian-C Cream and Radian-C Sun Cream.

Here are Laneige's claim on the Sun scream:




||        INGREDIENTS        

This sunscreen is a Hybrid Sunscreen, which is a mixed of both chemical and natural component. You can check HERE on the differences between chemical sunscreen, physical sunscreen and hybrid sunscreen. Here are the list of the ingredients:

WATER / AQUA / EAU, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, DIETHYLAMINO HYDROXYBENZOYL HEXYL BENZOATE, HOMOSALATE, ETHYLHEXYL SALICYLATE, C12-15 ALKYL BENZOATE, DIISOPROPYL SEBACATE, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, SILICA, GLYCERIN, POTASSIUM CETYL PHOSPHATE, TITANIUM DIOXIDE (NANO), TEREPHTHALYLIDENE DICAMPHOR SULFONIC ACID, PHENYL TRIMETHICONE, BIS-ETHYLHEXYLOXYPHENOL METHOXYPHENYL TRIAZINE, DIBUTYL ADIPATE, 1,2-HEXANEDIOL, TROMETHAMINE, PANTHENOL, LIMONENE, POLYACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER-6, ALUMINUM STEARATE, POLYMETHYL METHACRYLATE, POLYHYDROXYSTEARIC ACID, FRAGRANCE / PARFUM, XANTHAN GUM, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, 3-O-ETHYL ASCORBIC ACID, GLYCERYL CAPRYLATE, THYMOL TRIMETHOXYCINNAMATE, GLYCERYL STEARATE, ALUMINA, HYDROGENATED LECITHIN, DISODIUM EDTA, STEARIC ACID, C12-15 ALCOHOLS, POLYGLYCERYL-3 METHYLGLUCOSE DISTEARATE, PALMITIC ACID, LINALOOL, CERAMIDE NP, CITRAL, T-BUTYL ALCOHOL, GERANIOL, MYRISTIC ACID, LAURIC ACID




||        TEXTURE AND HOW TO USE        

This sunscreen has the perfect texture - it's not too watery nor thick. It absorbs well too and does not leave white cast on your skin. For dry skin people like me, this is quite a good sunscreen as it is quite hydrating and does not leave my skin dry afterwards. I love the fact that it comes with SPF 50+ and PA++++, and I have been using this sunscreen for around 2 months and so far I like it. 



no white cast!

This sunscreen, like the other sunscreen, is easy to use. Use it at the final step of your skincare and before your makeup. Oh, don't put on sunscreen on your night-time skincare routine ya! Someone told me that they thought that you need to put on sunscreen before you sleep. NOOOO! You put on night cream before you sleep, not sunblock okayy!


The other day, I forgot to apply sunscreen before makeup and only remember it after I finish putting on my cushion. I kid you not, I really don't feel safe without sunscreen (same feeling like when I put on toner late after washing my face HAHA) and since I was already late for work, I just apply it on top of the cushion I used and thank God it doesn't rub off.



||        MY REVIEW                  

Honestly, the packaging looks chic and minimal and nothing too outstanding. But I love the fact that it comes in a pump tube as it has been so long since I last lay my hands on sunscreen in pump packaging. 



After using this sunscreen for a few months, here are my thoughts:

Pros

✨ Light texture

✨ Quite moisturizing, doesn't leave my skin dry

✨ Easy to apply due to the texture

✨ No white cast

✨ Love that it comes in pump tube

✨ Pumps the perfect amount for each use

✨ Packaging is quite sturdy. The cap does not fall off easily


Cons

🔆 Citrusy scent. It's fades once you applied but it's still quite strong. (It's not a problem for me as I love citrusy scent)


Where to grab?

Price : RM 128.00 each (50ml)

You can get it at Sephora, Shopee, Lazada and Laneige website


🍧 In short, it's a good product but I can get similar if not better ones for the fraction of the price.

🍧 In terms of brightening, I'm not really sure if it really brightens up my skin but pimple scars on my face kinda fades away a little. 


And that's my review on this sunscreen! Anyways, I'd like to keep my review simple and easier to read as I really wanna do lots and lots more reviews! (Please pray for me to be more passionate abt updating my blog hahah!)


Till then, Thanks for reading!

MY FIRST POTTERY CLASS

January 10, 2023

 Assalamualaikum and hello~

This is absolutely random but my friends and I were thinking on doing some activity together, and yup, we have mixed personalities and preference. I, for instance, don't like hiking and I don't wanna go camping while they kinda wanna do either 1. So being a genius me (perasan), I must come with a solution to take their minds off of those activities and suggest them a new one that's even more attractive. I have been wanting to do something different and attend classes, and I found pottery class nearby! I was sooooo glad that they immediately agree with my suggestion hahahaha! (that's how much i dont wanna go hiking 😭 camping okay lagi lol)



Okay before you judge me, I'm a 100% kampung girl so dirt is not the reason I dont wanna go camping. I actually camped too much during my schooldays, especially when I was in the police cadet, and we represented Johor during that time and camped for almost a week. Then PLKN also got camping, haiyaaaa 😐 So, I don't wanna do activities related to camping because I did that all growing up and I just wanna do something else. But as for hiking, I'll be honest- I'm not a fan.


Now back to the story. 



We went to the pottery class in December, and I only post it on the blog this month as the arts we made took around 1 month to be ready and of course I wanna show you what I made!



||     THE POTTERY CLASS                    

The pottery class we attended is at A Leaf Pottery. Located in Eco Botanic, Nusajaya. A Leaf Pottery actually offers 2 types of pottery classes which are hand building and wheel throwing. Hand building is like playing with Play Dough but of course with proper steps and tools to make your own art while wheel throwing is the one with the spinning wheel that often seen on the internet. Or romantic movies. Yup, definitely seen a lot in romantic movies where lovers do pottery together and then come the haram scene HAHA. 


Not sure why the sign put One Leaf Pottery but that's the one!


Not trying to be romantic but we choose the wheel throwing class. I mean, you can't get this experience elsewhere and especially at home as the only thing that spins around in my house besides the fan is the blender lol. The pottery shop closes on Thursdays so after a few discussions, we decided to go on weekdays as we are all busy during the weekends and we need to use the AL anyway.


Our class started at 10.30am (we took the morning session) and we were greeted by Mr Moo upon our arrival. This class starts with a short briefing because their aim is not just for people to enjoy making arts but understand the art and appreciate them more.


And don't worry, it's not boring at all! 


We were shown the differences between porcelain and stoneware and which one we are going to use in the class and why it took around one month before we can collect our arts. It's all because of the processes involved. The arts are going to be dried for a couple of days, then burned, glazed, and burned again, and that's a whole lot of steps just to produce small arts that we made! Imagine, the first burning takes 1 whole day and at a temperature of 900°C! The arts must be cooled down first before proceeding with the next steps. That's why it takes time.



Also, they do the burning process based on the amount of the arts made. So, one month is actually the maximum time for us to get our products. Lucky for us, A Leaf pottery made quite a lot of business nowadays (lots of people come for the art class and so many arts to bake) and we are able to get our arts faster.



||     MY EXPERIENCE                    

Therapeutic, calming and stress relieving... well, not all of it are true if you are such a short-tempered person hahah! My friend, Myra and I were having quite a hard time because both of us are quite short-tempered, unlike Dila & Linda hahah. For me personally, it's quite hard to control the shape of the clay but it's really fascinating to see the movement of clay with just a little touch. So, yes, I agree on the calming and stress relieving part but not until when you suddenly made the wall of the clay too thin and it collapsed. Now THAT makes u stress gila HAHA. Luckily, I didn't experience that but one of the art I made collapsed after I take it off of the wheel 😅



We were given 3 clays to make our arts and we can each choose one art to bring home. Well, you can choose more than 1 but extra item will cost you RM30.00 each. I choose to bring home 2 so I need to add money~ You can make anything out of the clay, and really anything! From vase to bowls to cups, whatever u wanna make, you can. But the size of the clay is not that big as it's just a beginner's class so don't plan on making huge arts. 



The next step is to pick the color of the glaze. Glaze is the color on pottery products we often see. It coats the art and makes it more durable and strong but glaze is not paint - it is actually a mineral. Each mineral produces different color when baked, and the same mineral might produce different color based on the firing temperature. We picked the color based on the art displayed and I picked dark brown for my first bowl, and white + purple for my second bowl. 


Look at how cute this baby is! I actually wanted this color but i forgot what ms Moo said about it so i took purple instead 😢


||     THE ARTS                    

During briefing, we have been told that the art will shrink during the firing process so we don't expect the art to be the same size as when we made them. I was excited to make a bowl for my ramen but since it's gonna shrink, I just do a bowl for whatever fits. 


To our suprise, it actually shrinks a lot! It can fit a normal pack of maggie before, but after the firing and glazing process, it can barely fit half of the maggie hahahah. But it's still cute! I love them!


My friend's art


Mine!


Well, I choose purple color to combine with white and I think it turned out great but other people keep telling me that it's pink, not purple. What do you think? 



||     MY REVIEW                    

Honestly, I really recommend this class! Once you get the hang of it, it's really fun and time passes by so quickly you won't even realize.

As usual, here's my review:

🍵   10 for the service (the owner & his daughter are so nice and soft spoken!)

🍵   9.8 for the ambience

🍵   9.8 for the location

🍵   10 for the art outcome!


Will I come again?

Yes! But I'd like to join other activities and classes first for now.


Will I recommend this activity to the others?

Yes, definitely go! Experience it at least once!

COSRX PROPOLIS SYNERGY TONER REVIEW

December 21, 2022

  Assalamualaikum and hello!


So a lot of you guys know that I was obsessed with Benton toner (click HERE to read). I have been using it for years and I think the time has come where the product is kinda immune to my skin, I guess? Anyways, I figure out that this thing happens and it's normal especially when u use the product for too long. 

That's when i found their COSRX official Shopee account and as if it's calling me to give it a try - it's actually on sale! And FYI, I have been using this toner for almost a year before posting this review because I am so busy. I already wrote the draft for months but I didn't upload it since I haven't shoot the photos hahaha!




COSRX PROPOLIS SYNERGY TONER                                             

What makes me pay close attention to this toner is that first of all, I tried a lot of COSRX products and trust me- they are all good. I dislike some but it was because of the scent, not formula. Second, it claims to be very hydrating but doesn't leave the sticky feeling to your skin. This toner also claims to be very effective in reducing redness and suitable for all skin types.

Propolis is known to be very good for our skin and body and this toner is formulated with 72.6% of black bee propolis and it is known to have highest content of propolis extract. Unlike normal toner, this toner is a little thick in consistency, kinda very light viscosity but not slimy. It's almost like the one I used previously.


INGREDIENTS                                             

Propolis Extract, Honey Extract, Butylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Glycerin, Betaine, Cassia Obtusifolia Seed Extract, Panthenol, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride




WHAT IT CLAIMS                                             




FIRST IMPRESSION                                             

I actually bought 2 trial sized toner- Propolis Synergy and ABC Toner (Which is AHA, BHA and Vitamin C toner). Both works great but I prefer Propolis Synergy as it'sa little bit thicker and makes my skin more moisturised (ABC toner consistency is runny and watery. If you like light toner, ABC toner might be for you!



PACKAGING                                             

The packaging design is simple and neat but it's exactly my style and every bottle is secured with a cover so you just need to twist the cap open to remove it (secure packaging). I'm kinda suprised with this because the trial size usually doesn't have that cover (or is it just been too long since I last buy trial sized products? hahah idk!). 






The bottle is matte but includes a few clear lines which i love (i'm a sucker at minimal + clean packaging). Idk how to express it but the packaging alone already make this girl happy haha!

It comes in an individual boxfor both trial and full-sized product.  

The ingredients, directions, cautions, where the product has been made and all of the info you need is written on the bottle but suprisingly it's still feels minimal and not overcrowded with writings. The flip cap makes it easier to use and it's very secure. Unlike pump or spray bottle, u don't have to worry about the missing pump / spray cover.




TEXTURE AND SCENT                                             

This toner is a little thicker than watery toner. I don't think it's the type you can use in a spray bottle but it's not too thick like essence or serum. Even though it looks yellowish it doesn't turn your skin yellow and stuffs. It also sticks to my skin and doesn't take too long to dry. 

I tried some toner that claims it absorbs really well and ended up absorbing under my skin and when it has been fully absorbed, my skin still feels dry and it kinda disappear. But i guarantee you this one is not. It moisturizes really well and doesn't leave my skin dry and flaky.

As for scent, it's super mild and I can't really smell it unless i take off the cap completely and inhale to the bottle 🤣. It's hardly there and for those who really hate skincare with strong scent- this one is for you! (same like Benton Toner, the smell is hardly noticeable)




HOW TO USE                                             

There are several ways to use this toner and I love the original way which is just to use your hands 🤣 It saves my penny as I don't use too much cotton pads and saves amount of toner i have to use too.

So here's how you can use the toner :

1. Like you normally would- with your hands!

2. Use as clearing toner - pour it on cotton pad and rub it on your skin to remove excess debris

3. Mask toner - completely wet the cotton pad and leave it on your skin like a mask. Totally recommended for reddish and dry flaky skin.




MY REVIEW                                             

Disclaimer : even though i would love it if COSRX sponsor me for this post, they didn't and this is my honest review. I bought this COSRX Propolis Synergy Toner using my own money :')

Pros:

🐝   Not too thick, not too watery

🐝   Very, very hydrating but not sticky

🐝   Packaging is minimal but very secure and neat. Love!

🐝   Extremely light scent

🐝   Really great for dull skin and redness

🐝   It improves my skin texture

🐝   Doesn't sting

🐝   Does not contain alchohol, parabens, artifial fragrances, essential oils and more things that shouldn't be in skincare products


Cons:

💸 Quite pricey, around RM69 for a 150ml bottle. But worry not, wait for sale time and you can get at least RM15 off! You can also use your coin if you buy it on their Shopee Official Store (click HERE).


Will I repurchase?

Well.... this is my 4th bottle actually hahaha! and I am going to use this until my skin becomes immune to it, just like my previous toner.


Will I recommend it to my friends?

Of course, yes!



The products from Cosrx Official Shopee will be shipped from South Korea so please be patient with the waiting time (no more than a week, It's actually quite fast considering it's from South Korea).

And, if you don't wanna buy from there or you found another seller that sells it cheaper than market price, please make sure you're purchasing from their authorised seller because you don't wanna apply some fake products to your skin, don't you?


Till then,

JUNOCO CLEAN 10 CLEANSING BALM REVIEW

May 17, 2022

 Assalamualaikum and hello again everyone~


I don't wear makeup often but a good makeup remover is a must because I honestly wear sunscreen on a daily basis and it's really important to remove them efficiently before going to bed (and before praying!). I've tried quite a few types of make up remover but I honestly like cleansing balm the best.



Okay let's be honest, have you ever heard about the brand JUNOCO? I mean, I honestly never heard of it mainly because I think I keep focusing on Korean skincare but I'm gonna let you watch this tiktok video first -



I mean, amazing right? 😱 I was contacted by their team to try this product and I was sooo excited especially after watching the tiktok video and since I am also looking for a makeup remover for Eid- why not give it a try? 


P/s : You can by the cleansing balm at only RM67 from their website HERE or browse for their other product HERE. They also sent me their cleansing cookie which is also amazing to use and so soft. The cleansing cookie is really great to use for removing product you applied to your face, for example - you want to remove the cleansing balm or clay mask you previously applied on your face, you can just wipe it off with the cleansing cookie! 



||     Cleansing balm                      

For those of you who have no idea what a cleansing balm is, it is a type of make up remover in the form of creamy thick balm and it melts then turns to silky oil. Use cleansing balm as the first step of cleansing and you must clean it afterwards with facial cleansers but it's really great for removing makeups and sunscreens so that even when you wash it off with cleansers, it will leave your skin smooth and honestly not dry at all.




It works like a cleansing oil should but it won't spill easily like cleansing oil does so it's perfect to carry to travel. I love the feeling of the balm melting on my face and dissolve all of the makeups especially if I am wearing mascara or eyeliner as these are really uncomfortable to remove if you use makeup remover with cotton pads. 



||   JUNOCO                      

JUNOCO is a brand that originates from Southern California and they focus on creating products with NO parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals, sulfates artificial fragrances, colors or preservatives, silicones mineral oil, phenoxyethanol, or EDTA.

Or to make it simple, their products doesn't include ingredients that are harmful or harsh on the skin.




||   Ingredients                      

This product is called Clean 10 cleansing balm because it only contains 10 ingredients and their star ingredient is Japanese Barley Magic :

Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Caprylic/​Capric Triglyceride, PEG-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate, Synthetic Wax, Polysorbate 85, Saccharomyces/​Coix Lacryma-Jobi Ma-Yuen Seed Ferment Filtrate, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Water, Butylene Glycol



||   What it claims                      

This product claims to remove even waterproof makeup effortlessly. The star ingredient- Japanese Barley Magic is said to be a source of vitamins and antioxidants to help regulate the skin's melanin production which includes brighten skin complexion and reducing dark spots. It also claims that it deeply cleanses the skin without stripping natural oils. 



||   First Impressions                      

It is stated on their website that this product is 85g / 3.0 oz but I am still suprised by the actual size when I open the package because it's quite huge! I mean, for the price of RM67 each I honestly don't think it's gonna be this big. 



The box design is clean but nothing special on the design but it's quite solid and not damaged at all even though the package was not packed in a special box or massive bubblewraps.



Here's in short about my first impressions:

Packaging - The cleansing balm jar, is actually made from plastic and I love, love it! It comes with a hygiene tab AND a spatula. (I was sooo excited because the hygiene tab really secures the product and I personally think that a skincare product in jar that comes with a spatula shows how the brand really cares for hygiene. Like, seriously.)

Scent - This cleansing balm has the citrusy scent of California tangerine. The scent comes from essential oil of orange peel oil but it only contains 0.99% of it.

Color - Yellowish.



||   Texture and how to use                      

As I state earlier, cleansing balm is the first step in double cleansing routine and is not a standalone cleanser. Here's how to use it:

1. Make sure your face and hand is dry. Scoop 1 spatula of the cleansing balm and warm the balm with your fingertips until it transforms into a silky oil.

2. Massage the balm gently in circular motions and close your eyes if you wanna remove those eye makeups

3. Rinse with lukewarm water or wipe off with a damp cloth or this cleansing cookie from JUNOCO

4. Follow up with your everyday cleanser



it melts easily

this is after i wipe the oil off with tissue! super clean!


||   My reviews                      

I got this product during Ramadhan and I've been using it for almost a month now. As mentioned earlier in this post, I got this from the brand but the review is solely my own opinion + experience from using the product, and I am not paid to say these:


Pros

✰  Plastic jars which i personally love- not afraid of breaking it if it falls down

✰  Comes with hygiene tab (so secure, no spill) and a spatula - super hygiene

✰  Melts immediately when applied

✰  Effectively removes eye makeups- don't need for seperate remove for eye parts!

✰  Remove even waterproof makeup easily

✰  Doesn't make my skin dry & skin feels so smooth after usage

✰  Doesn't sting my skin

✰  Can be used with gentle cleansing foam as the balm is not too heavy so rinsing it with water first really removes most of the oil

✰  Huge size- value for money

✰  Even tho i dislike skincare with scent, i suprisingly love the citrusy scent 😂


Cons

✰  Due to being really good at preventing spillage, the hygiene tab is a bit difficult to close which i understand why some people just remove it once open (but i didn't because i need it!)


Will I repurchase this?

Yes, I don't see why not!


Will I recommend this to my friend?
