Skin Care | LANEIGE Multiberry Yogurt Repairing Mask, Lip Sleep Mask, and Multi Cleanser Review

Solutions for: - Dryness- Uneven skin tone
- Dullness and uneven texture 
If you want to know more…This bestselling Multi Cleanser lathers richly for an invigorating, multiaction cleansing experience. Infused with skin-nourishing papaya, this cleanser sweeps away dead surface skin, while natural cellulose gently removes impurities and melts away sunscreen and makeup. Skin appears instantly brighter.

• Ideally, with this cleanser, I was looking for a nice gentle face wash that helped take off makeup, wasn't drying, and also a great daily exfoliator. So for what I was looking for, this definitely fits the bill!
• Texture: Feels like a very thick cream at first and then lathers to a nice foam. You can feel very, very small microbeads in it (papaya) that help very gently exfoliate your skin! It's gentle enough for everyday use. 
• Ingredients: Papayas are known to be a natural exfoliant that helps takes off the layer of dead skin that makes your skin look dull. Doing so helps reveal your more glowy skin underneath :) + in conjunction with the micro beads, this really helps leaving my skin feeling polished, cleansed and soft.
• Review: Felt like it really lived up to the claims! I can't say that my skin appears instantly brighter, but the daily exfoliation is really nice! Additionally, it's really great at removing the remainder makeup after I use an oil cleanser. 

• A little steep in price 
• Lightly floral scented... I don't mind at all but some people may not like fragrance.

Nourish the skin with antioxidants and nutrition from yogurt and various berry extracts. Formulated with extracts from raspberries, blueberries, wolfberries, cranberries, and strawberries, Multiberry Complex delivers abundant nutrients and antioxidants deep into the skin to help nourish and eliminate harmful free radicals. Sogurty™, a specialized fermented yogurt, soothes, protects and supports natural collagen production for healthier, younger-looking skin. 

• Directions: The directions for this cream says to leave it on for 10 mins and rinse off. However, I've always just leave it on and had no problems, and actually prefer it this way - you get more hydration :)
• Texture: A light whipped cream. Not thick and instantly absorbed leaving skin feeling plump. 
• Scent: Smells like Strawberry yogurt! Yum! :D 
• Ingredients: Love that there are so many berry extracts which are known to have high antioxidants that help with more youthful skin.
• Claims: I really think this product lives up to its claims! It says that its filled with antioxidants delivers nutrients deep into the skin, and helps produce collagen for healthier, younger-looking skin. I can totally agree with all these. 
• Review: My skin since using this has just been glowing, moisturized and amazing! Every night I use this, it's almost as if I had done a sheet mask the night before - that's how hydrating the cream is. Many night creams I find it may be thick and moisturizing but only at the surface level... in reality, my skin still feels dry deep within. This cream is light and I feel as if it instantly penetrates deep into my skin making it look healthier, bouncier and younger! I had to use it a few times to realize that my "good skin days" were caused by this cream...I love it so much, it's officially my HG night cream and it's found a spot in my permanent nightly routine <3  You also don't need a lot...it's so light that you think you need to layer it on, but a light layer works great. Additionally, it absorbs very quickly.

Lip Sleeping Mask has a softening balm texture that closely adheres to lips for quick absorption. Enriched with vitamin C and antioxidants, its Berry Mix Complex™ offers a nutritiously sweet and fragrant blend of raspberry, strawberry, cranberry, and blueberry extracts to indulge the senses. Its exclusive Moisture Wrap™ technology boasts hyaluronic acid and minerals to form a protective film over the lips to lock in moisture and active ingredients. A generous layer of this soothing mask at bedtime helps reduce flakiness so you can wake up to lips that feel refreshed, supple, and soft to the touch. 

• Directions: Apply a thick layer onto lips for overnight treatment. 
• Texture: Creamy but also a little sticky - a bit similar to a lip gloss consistency. However, the consistency doesn't bother me :) Lip mask is slightly pink tinted but doesn't show up on lips. 
• Scent: Smells like cherries? It's very delicious smelling. 
• Ingredients: love that it's enriched with vitamin c and antioxidants! 
• Claims: Helps reduce flakiness so that you can have supple, soft lips in the morning.

• Review: Personally I have mixed feelings about this product. This one is nice, and my lips are not chapped in the morning after using it. The product is raved by one of my favorite Youtube KBeauty Gurus - Liah Yoo, however, I'm not sure if it's just that I have really dry lips - but the hydration is only on the surface and doesn't go deep enough. This causes the outer layer to be hydrated, but once that rubs off my lips go back to being chapped.  I tend to have problematic lips as what most people think is fine, my lips will instantly peel - so I'm starting to think it may just be me problem :/ However, when my lips are not too dry, it definitely helps keep them moisturized and plump.

Makeup | Revlon Mega Multiplier Mascara and Stipple Brush Review

About: Our unique fibres are sealed in 360° tubes that plump and extend lashes for mega volume and extreme length

• Flake-free smudge-proof wear

• Removes easily with warm water

• Mega Lash Brush™ deposits formula from lash line to tip for mega volume and extreme length

• Available in 4 shades 

• Formula: The formula is very dry and thick. I often apply way too much even when I'm being very careful. Despite the thicker formula, my lashes appear very natural, almost like a "my lashes but better" look. It's hard to build it to get more volume - it's more length than anything but even then it's not "crazy." It doesn't hold a curl very well. Usually, I'll have to curl my lashes again after it dries. Because it is a fibre mascara, there isn't a lot of flakes or smudging. Additionally, it comes off quite easily with some warm water. 
• Brush: Very straight and not many plastic bristles to help separate your lashes. I have to go in and try to separate it, and really work the product. However, once I do it does give that "mega multiplier' look. My lashes are very fluffy looking. 
• Packaging: A lot nicer than it looks! Has a velvet bottle for a better grip.  

Skin Care | BeMused Korea Earth's Recipe Brightening Whitening & 107 Snow Mask Korean Skincare Review

The Gigawhite Radiance Serum features Gigawhite, a brightening complex of Alpine plants, including edelweiss, lemon balm, primrose, and other botanicals. This illuminating serum also contains proven brightening agents like niacinamide, licorice root extract, and tranexamic acid to diminish the appearance of dark spots on the skin and promote greater skin radiance.  

Ingredients:WATER, METHYLPROPANEDIOL, NIACINAMIDE, BETAINE, PROPANEDIOL, PHELLINUS LINTEUS EXTRACT, ARCTIUM LAPPA ROOT EXTRACT, DIOSCOREA JAPONICA ROOT EXTRACT, BRASSICA OLERACEA ITALICA (BROCCOLI) SPROUT EXTRACT, BRASSICA CAMPESTRIS (RAPESEED) SPROUT EXTRACT, BRASSICA OLERACEA ACEPHALA LEAF EXTRACT, HELIANTHUS ANNUUS (SUNFLOWER) SPROUT EXTRACT, PIPER METHYSTICUM LEAF/ROOT/STEM EXTRACT, PORTULACA OLERACEA EXTRACT, PUERARIA THUNBERGIANA ROOT EXTRACT, GLYCYRRHIZA GLABRA (LICORICE) ROOT EXTRACT, PAEONIA LACTIFLORA ROOT EXTRACT, CNIDIUM OFFICINALE ROOT EXTRACT, VERONICA OFFICINALIS FLOWER/LEAF/STEM EXTRACT, MELISSA OFFICINALIS LEAF EXTRACT, MALVA SYLVESTRIS (MALLOW) EXTRACT, ACHILLEA MILLEFOLIUM EXTRACT, ALCHEMILLA VULGARIS EXTRACT, PRIMULA VERIS EXTRACT, MENTHA PIPERITA (PEPPERMINT) LEAF EXTRACT, SOLUBLE COLLAGEN, ALOE BARBADENSIS LEAF JUICE, HYDROGENATED LECITHIN, CITRUS AURANTIUM BERGAMIA (BERGAMOT) FRUIT OIL, PELARGONIUM GRAVEOLENS FLOWER OIL, SALVIA OFFICINALIS (SAGE) OIL, POGOSTEMON CABLIN OIL, SODIUM HYALURONATE, BIFIDA FERMENT LYSATE, 1,2-HEXANEDIOL, ACRYLATES/C10-30 ALKYL ACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER, TRANEXAMIC ACID, PEG/PPG-17/6 COPOLYMER, PEG/PPG/POLYBUTYLENE GLYCOL-8/5/3 GLYCERIN, TROMETHAMINE, PEG-40 HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN, TRISODIUM EDTA, ADENOSINE, POLYQUATERNIUM-51, GLYCOSYL TREHALOSE, HYDROGENATED STARCH HYDROLYSATE, RAFFINOSE, BIOSACCHARIDE GUM-1, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, PANTHENOL, XANTHAN GUM, LECITHIN, FOLIC ACID, GLYCERIN, CERAMIDE NP, CHOLESTEROL, ACETIC ACID, LACTIC ACID, PALMITOYL PENTAPEPTIDE-4, PHENOXYETHANOL, POTASSIUM SORBATE

• Consistency: It's super gel-like and very very light on the skin! Prior to using this serum, I didn't like using a serum in the day because it made me feel like I had too many layers on and my makeup was going to slip off. However, Since I started using this Gigawhite Radiance Serum, I've started to also use serums during the day! 
• Ingredient: There are so many amazing plant-based ingredients very close and higher up vs just being lost near the bottom. JAPONICA ROOT EXTRACT and (BROCCOLI) SPROUT EXTRACT are a few call outs.
• Claims: However, I do find that many times with this many ingredients, results are not overnight since there tends to be a bit of everything. I can't say that I saw radical results in brightening in my skin - but I can say that my skin does like this and I have been reaching for it and still do use it on a daily morning basis! 
• Scent: There's a little bit of a herbal aromatherapy smell? But it's very faint and disappears rather quickly. 

The Moisture Brightening Cream helps to diminish the appearance of dark spots and even out skin tone, while providing hydration for radiant, clear skin. Containing Earth’s Recipe’s signature Gigawhite complex, a combination of Alpine plant extracts, this cream brightens and hydrates without irritating the skin. It provides an illuminating finish for glowing skin.

• Consistency: Similarly like the serum, the consistency is almost like a gel! I find with gels though, they tend to be light but not moisturizing enough. However, this formula is light AND moisturizing + easily absorbed into my skin. I usually use very thick creams and oils at night but I found a nice spot for this cream for my morning daily use.
• Smell: Like the serum, a light herbal, aromatherapeutic smell! Disappears once you rub the cream in. 
• Ingredients: Similar to the serum, but not as many active ingredients? I didn't find it lightened any serious hyperpigmentation - but hydration does brighten ones' skin! This is an amazing moisturizer for those hot days (Toronto suddenly reached 39 degrees the other day?!) where you want moisture...without the grease ^^"

• Light - Easily absorbed
• Smell
• Moisturizing 
• Slightly brightening 

The Snow Mask Pack is pH balanced to match the skin’s natural, slightly-acidic pH, supporting the skin’s moisture barrier. Featuring naturally skin-supporting extracts like snail mucin extract and propolis, this mask brightens and smooths the skin for a naturally glowing complexion. Hydrating without feeling sticky, the Snow Mask soothes skin that may be flushed or irritated.

Water, Glycerin, Naiacinamide, Butylene Glycol, PEG/PPG-17/6 Copolymer, Panthenol, Snail Secreation Filtrate, Propolis Extract, Morus Alba Bark Extract, Pearl Extract, Beta-Glucan, Thuja Orientalis Extract, Xanthan Gum, Carbomer, Hydroxyethylcellulose, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Caster Oil, Allantoin, Disodium EDTA, Illicium Verum (Anise) Fruit Extract, Propanediol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Caprylyl Glycol, Tromethamine, Chlorphenesin, Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance

• One feature I love was the size of these face masks! They're one size smaller than the regular ones that are always way too big... these ones fit perfectly! 
• The cotton is pretty thick and very saturated 
• Left it on for 20 minutes before it started to get dry-my skin super plump and moisturized! 
• The serum that the mask is soaked in was sticky as usual but had a bit more of a "gel" texture to it - probably from the Snail mucin extract.
• Although it claimed to be "hydrating without feeling sticky," it still did initially feel heavy and just as sticky as others - but it sunk into my skin without leaving a weird gooey film on my face. This allowed me to apply my skincare as I usually would! 
• Ingredients: Snail mucin extract and propolis are really amazing for healing the skin. I imagine I would ideally use this after spending a long day under the sun or if my skin is healing from acne!

• Size was perfect
• Very saturated 
• Sticky - but absorbed better than other masks 
• Hydrating 
• Plumping

• Not really brightening? - still made my skin glowy/plump

Repurchase? yes

Rating: 8.4/10

(You can see the size ends perfectly at the edge of my face!)

(skin looks very glowy/hydrated after!)

Makeup | COVERGIRL Vitalist Elixir Shade 610 & Melting Pout 105 Gel-Ful Review

Finally a hydrating, vitamin-infused formula for beautiful, buildable coverage that glides on smoothly for a flawless look. A special antioxidant and vitamin complex plus SPF 20 work together to make your skin look healthy all day. Give your skin a luminous glow. Available in multiple shades from light to deep.

• Packaging: Love the pump! Very easy to dispense product, but the clear cap makes everything look very dirty haha
• Finish: Semi-matte
• Formula: Felt a little thick and was a little streaky. For those who have combo-oily skin, this will not last long on you. Many foundations are okay after I blot when I get a little shiny but this completely transferred off onto the blotting sheet or wherever I accidentally rubbed lol. It did feel slightly hydrating. 
• Others said it broke them out but it didn't for me 
• Longevity: My skin isn't very oily but it broke up around my nose after 3-4 hours. 
• Perhaps just not the right formula for me. Most foundations that feel heavier tend to last long. However this one did not- probably due to the fact it isn't meant to control oil.
• Recommend: Normal to dry skin. 

If you want color so hot, it's melted, this is the lipstick for you! New Melting Pout Liquid Lipsticks give you a high-impact, super rich color with a lightweight, satin finish. Melting Pout lipsticks give you Intensely rich color in a gel-based formula for a smooth finish

• Packaging: Squeezey tube with a rounded sponge at the tip
• Finish: Semi Matte - Light/medium pink with a hint of peach
• Formula:  Interesting and odd product. It does indeed feel as if you had melted a lipstick and put it in a tube. However, for these semi-matte, mousse-y/velvety products, I'm more used to it "setting," but it doesn't really. It is indeed light weight, but this particular color is a bit light on my lips and appears patchy. Additionally, not very long lasting as it transfers easily because it never really "sets."  It wasn't as drying as other liquid lipsticks, but did make my lips peel at the end of the day. Formula wise, very similar to the Armani Lip Maestros. 

• Light 
• Slightly moisturizing/not as dry as other liquid lipsticks
• Pretty universal shade 
• The formula feels like a possible dupe for Armani Lip Maestros for a fraction of the price.

Makeup | Early Fall Copper Orange Makeup Tutorial

Hey, guys!

 It's that awkward season where you want to start wearing your sweaters but you just can't yet! This video I'm going to show you my go to "pre-fall" makeup that's centered around warmer copper, orange eyes + orange lips. Here I give you 2 options: lip tint balm for a more natural look or an opaque lip color for an evening look. As mentioned in the video, later  around October I'll be uploading a vampy, darker berry lip tutorial so keep an eye out for that!
Listed below are the products I used :)

Key Tip: Figure out what your main focus of the look is and base everything else around its undertone. Here it's the orange lipstick with a yellow undertone. Therefore, I make sure that my eyeshadow also has a yellowy base (BR403 from Etude house is a sandy beige!) This help make everything look cohesive :D

I would love to hear your feed back through comments down below or on the video!

Look 1: Every-day

Look 2: Evening

Makeup Used:

• Cezanne Make Keep Base
• Bourjois Healthy Mix in 53 + Revlon Colorstay Foundation
• Bourjois Healthy Mix Concealer 03 (darkest)
• Cover Girl Outlast Powder

• Smashbox Eyeshadow Primer
• Etude House Look at My Eyes Br401 - Caramel Latte
• Modern Renaissance - Raw Sienna, Cyprus Umber

Sun Care | COOLA Makeup Setting Spray & Body Sunscreen Spray SPF 30 Review

Hi Guys!

COOLA's a really amazing brand that recently launched in Canada! What's really interesting is that their formulas are known to be 70% organic which is an amazing feature to boast. Their products are developed using as many ingredients as possible that are natural, organic, sustainable and locally sourced. Additionally,  each of their products protects and nourish the skin with vitamins and age-defying antioxidants like strawberry, lemon oil, aloe, algae, orange fruit extract etc. It's kind of like sun care + skin care in one!

A lesson I took away from interning at the company Well.ca over the summer is that it's important to consume healthy products, but also just as important to use healthy products on the skin as well - after all, the skin is our largest organ! 

---> Although the summer is over, it doesn't mean you stop applying sunscreen. If you haven't already read about UVA/UVB rays and what type of damage the sun can do, Read it here and here!

Certified Organic Ingredients

• Alcohol
• Aloe Leaf Extract

• Glycerin
• Orange Water
• Cucumber Fruit Extract

Active Ingredients

Avobenzone (sunscreen) 2.1%, Homosalate (sunscreen) 3.5%, Octinoxate (sunscreen) 3.5%, Octisalate (sunscreen) 2.8%

Inactive Ingredients
Alcohol*, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract*, Isodecyl Neopentanoate, Silica Silylate, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Povidone, Fragrance/Parfum (Green Tea), Glycerin*, Water/Aqua/Eau, Algae Extract*, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract*, Sodium Hyaluronate, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract*

*certifed organic

• Price: $51
• The mist is really nice - doesn't give you water droplets on your face. However, there's a lot of alcohol in the product (No.1 on the ingredients list, however, it's...organic? I didn't know alcohol could be organic lol) which you can smell when you spray it. But that allows the product to evaporate very quickly once sprayed and not leave much of a residue. I recommend closing your eyes and tucking your lips in. The alcohol slightly burns my lips if I don't tuck them away and would definitely sting my eyes (this is probably why they said not to directly spray onto face). 
• It smells a bit weird, not a fan of the "green tea" scent. 
• It has a gel like texture and doesn't disturb my makeup. Once it evaporates it feels very nice on the face! It leaves a slight hydration feeling and a matte finish which is really nice for touch-ups! 
• It's a great touch up product throughout the day but doesn't seem to really prolong the wear of my makeup. 

• Really doesn't disturb your makeup underneath - great way to touch up on SPF
• Moisturizing 
• Matte finish 
• SPF 30 UVA/UVB
• Skincare like ingredients (Algae, Cucumber Fruit Extract, Orange fruit water etc) 

• Green Tea smell (personal) 
• Alcohol content
• Price ($51 CAD)

This feeling goes away progressively until the product is fully absorbed and it doesn't feel like I'm wearing anything at all!

• Moisturizing 
• Absorbed into nothingness!

• Skincare like ingredients (Algae, Aloe, Citrus Limon Peel Oil, Cucumber Fruit Extract, Strawberry Fruit Extract etc)

• Fair: NC15-20
• Light: NC20-25
• Medium: Nc 30-35

• Wide color range
• Skin care infused
• Comes with a pump
• Easy to Travel with
• Moisturizing
• Sunscreen SPF 50 + UVA/UVB
• Doesn't strip my skin
• Medium buildable coverage

• Not very good oil control
• Claims to be concealer as well - wouldn't use as one unless I have minor blemishes
• Price: $49 CAD - pretty pricy for a CC Cream. For that price you can find similar products (ex: Missha  M Perfect Cover BB Cream, much cheaper but not as many skincare benefits, colors, but better oil control)
