L'ESSENTIAL Rhodiola Relief First Toner   One of my toners on rotation - this 500ml of milky goodness is nice to have. I use this for my face, neck, chest and shoulders. I really like how it moisturizes my skin. Made of 96% naturally-derived ingredients, this toner claims to soothe and supply rich moisture to skin. Powered by Rhodiola Extract, Witch Hazel Leaf Water, 10 types Hyaluronic Acid and 15 kinds of plant-derived ingredients. 💚 LOVES (YMMV): This milky-white toner is just a bit thicker than water (maybe 2/10 for viscosity). Still runny with a bit of slip that makes application smooth and easy. Feels a little tacky right after application, but that goes away in a minute - just give it time to fully absorb. Its like a toner essence, but it doesnt make my skin feel heavy. For me, claims justified. This #alcoholfree toner is very soothing, indeed. Feels refreshing on skin. I like that it has a light, calming scent. Could be from the Mugwort or Cica. I also enjoy the abundant m

KLAIRS Daily Skin Softening Water •• Basic Skin Care Program? Well, say hello, to this 500ml of #alcoholfree freshness. This contains 45% Cucumber Water to hydrate and and soothe the skin. It gently exfoliates with Sugarcane Extract (a natural exfoliant), and a small amount (0.15%) of Citric Acid, that causes the lowest irritation among AHAs. ••• 💚LOVES (YMMV): I like to use this after cleansing - it helps remove remaining dirt or residues (if any), and preps my skin for the next steps in my routine. Very light and soothing. It leaves my skin clean, calm and feeling fresh. - Exfoliates mildly. This helps take care of my dead skin cells, and sends them away in peace to Mordor leaving my skin clear, and ready for the next product. There is no sting, and it doesnt irritate. I find this gentle enough for me to use day and night. - This hydrates, but not too much. Thats ok for me though, because I have a separate product in the routine that specifically targets that. It doesnt reduce my he

oilyskin must-have cream

COMMONLABS  Vitamin E Calming Light Cream Some say that babes with oily skin dont need to moisturize. Nah. We know thats not true. Never believed that. Anyways. My oil-factory face loves this moisturizer. This light cream claims to strengthen the skin barrier, soothe, treat, and protect the skin while providing rich moisture. Contains 1,000ppm Vitamin E, Tea Tree Leaf Extract, and other skin-friendly ingredients to make skin happy. •• 💚 LOVES (YMMV): I love that this suits my oily skin well. This is a light and nonsticky gel cream that absorbs easily on skin when used alone. I also like the calming scent - its not too strong and it makes me feel relaxed. I sometimes use this alone during daytime, and I did notice that this helps control my excessive sebum. It doesnt make my face feel like an ol' greasy oil pan even after several hours. Yes, my face still oils because thats a natural skin process - but this doesnt make it too icky. This cream soothes my skin really well, and helps

MUST-HAVE CLEANSER

Image
ROVECTIN Skin Essentials Conditioning Cleanser Im happy using this one. Simple. No fuss. This #alcoholfree low pH 5.7 cleanser claims to be hydrating, and effective enough to safely wash away daily grime and residue without stripping the skin. This contains different kinds of HA, like Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, and Hyaluronic Acid, so its a winner for me. 💚 LOVES (YMMV): Washing my face with this cleanser just feels...so light and soothing. Its liquid gel that I can massage on my face easily and smoothly. No tugging, no drama. This doesnt foam thickly, but produces enough bubbles to add satisfaction to my cleansing experience. - This leaves my skin soft, clean and hydrated after wash. No tight, itchy and squeaky feels. No irritation exlerienced -- just fresh, calm and happy skin. - Plus points that it rinses off easily. That also saves the household some water, yah?😁 - Gentle enough for me to use daily, twice a day. One pump works for my big face, but half-a-pump

ISNTREE Hyaluronic Acid Toner

Image
 /REVIEW/ 💙ISNTREE Hyaluronic Acid Toner Hyaluronic Acid. One of my favorite ingredients. And, this toner is one of my faves. I have very oily skin and this provides the hydration that I need. Slightly viscous with some slip - this spreads smoothly, and takes a few seconds to absorb.  This fragrance-free toner leaves my face moist and feeling plump without too much tackiness. I apply 2 layers of this goodness. And, more when I have an acid toner and serum in the routine. Helps soothe my skin that way and prevents moisture loss. Happy and satisfied. I will get this again once emptied. For me, this is worth the price, worth the try. #missannbloves #gopickyreview This toner has a gentle formulation to suit all skin types. Besides Hyaluronic Acid and Sodium Hyaluronate, this also contains several other humectants - and, some soothing ingredients as well, like Panthenol and Aloe. No parabens, fragrance, synthetic colorants, alcohol, essential oils, silicones, and sls. #veganfriendly #cruel

GASTON LOVE

Ive been eyeing the lovely products from Gaston since 2019, and I felt really happy and excited (also screamed in my head) when they reached out, and sent me 3 of their beautiful products. Thank you! Happiness overload. Cheers!🥂 This is the Gaston Mallang Foundation Cover Pact that launched last May2020. Its not just simply makeup - this beauty also contains CRNS Berry Complex, and 50 kinds of seed extracts as core ingredients. Yes. 50. Plus the berries. All that goodness. The main goal of this cover pact is to give a nonsticky and nondrying, perfect matte cover - while also nourishing your skin with its core ingredients' anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidation powers. Add whitening and moisturizing, too. Its makeup with skin benefits. Sounds great to me.😗 #gaston #beyondbeauty For Gaston, skin and beauty is like the outer space.  The world of beauty is endless, like the vast outer space that extends with no end in sight. #beyondbeauty Gaston's journey is to disc

KEEP COOL & OCEAN OIL

Image
 /REVIEW/ 💙KEEP COOL & Ocean Oil This is a 100% plant-derived oil that helps moisturise and nourish your skin. Forms a moisture barrier to prevent moisture loss and maintain skin oil-water balance. •• LOVES (YMMV): - The final step to seal all the goodness in. Feels hydrating. Moisturizes for hours. Its always great to wake up with soft and glowing skin. - I also like using this alone for mid-day moisturizing. Feels very nice and comfortable on skin, even when used just on its own after cleansing. Makes my skin feel extra with that subtle radiance. - Lightweight. Absorbs nicely. Has a light, pleasant smell. - Its oil, yes but, it doesnt feel greasy. - No breakouts and irritation experienced. - Besides the 8 skin-friendly vegetable oils, I love that this also contains Turmeric Root Extract that has soothing, brightening and antioxidant properties. •• GOODTOKNOW: #crueltyfree No parabens, sulfates, silicone, artificial fragrances, alcohol and synthetic colourants. •• COULD BE BETTER

/REVIEW/ 💚SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Soothing Cream Say hello to my daytime moisturizer with 72% Centella Asiatica Extract from the untouched and clean nature of Madagascar. - I love that this is very soothing and moisturizing. Feels refreshing - this unscented cream gives a subtle, cooling effect when applied, and doesnt grease me up a lot. My skin feels calm and hydrated after use. The light, gel-like texture is easily absorbed and nonsticky. Plus, Im happy that this also contains 4 different Ceramides (Quadruple Ceramide Complex), Cholesterol and Sodium Hyaluronate.😘 #missannbloves ••••• 💚SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Cream While the soothing cream calms and balances with 72% Centella Asiatica and Ceramides - this one aims to brighten skin and help with anti-aging. Notable ingredients are 9.8% Centella Asiatica, Niacinamide, Adenosine, Squalane, Madecassoside and Asiaticoside. - Using this for my pm routine.

My Wishtrend 1st Collab

Image
Completed the first collab form end of August, and received my Wishtrend package just after a week. Thank you!😗 It was hard to choose the 2 products that I would like to review first for the initial collab. When you have a long list of promising skincare from good brands in front of you - its kinda hard to decide, so I checked my stash to see what I need right now. Ive ran out of watery toners, and I want a new cleanser, so here we are. Ta-daaa! 💚KLAIRS Daily Skin Softening Water This is a #veganfriendly and low pH, water-like, exfoliating toner with low irritation and no viscosity. Contains sugarcane extract, a small amount (0.15%) of citric acid and 45% cucumber water. 💚ROVECTIN Conditioning Cleanser This #veganfriendly cleanser is a gentle, low pH (pH 5.7) and hydrating cleanser that safely washes away daily grime and residue without stripping the skin. 💚I started using these the same day I received them. So far, so good. Im enjoying them both, and I will post my reviews soon.

Hi, Im Ann.

Hello, babes. I hope you are well. Just an introvert here trying her hands at blogging. I mostly do skincare reviews because, well, I probably love skincare a lot. Lol. Been taking care of my skin since I was 15. My main skin concerns are sebum (got an oil-factory face), big pores (gaping?lol), post-acne scars that take monthsss to fade and aging. I still breakout, too. I think thats a given hahaha Im just happy when they finally heal. Scars? Well, they eventually fade. Im a patient woman. Lol. The main goal when I was younger was to heal and prevent pimples. Thats still my goal after all these years. Lol. One of my college room mates said that pimples will stop poppin' when I reach 30. I was hopeful haha but it was a big lie. Lol. So, Im sticking to the same goal, yes. Ive also added some products that exfoliate, brighten and protect the skin barrier. Im loving skin-identical ingredients like Ceramides, Co-enzyme Q10 and Hyaluronic Acid. Need to keep my aging skin moisturized and
