Hello everyone!
Since I'm writing this beforehand, I probably have already warned you that I won't be very active on my social media, since I will be home for Easter and...no laptop for me. So I hope you will spend your holiday safely.
Secondly, this post will be slightly different from my usual because I'm going to update you on the new additions on my skincare routine and makeup stash, so that you know what I'm currently testing.
There aren't many new items that you don't already know of in my routine. During my holidays I will be probably use up the last remainings of my Laneige Waterfull kit, but my current skincare routine is made (mostly) of the Klairs products of my Wishtrend's Wishbox; the last item I opened and started to test has been the Gentle Black Sugar Facial Polish. I'm seriously impressed and very pleased by this product, which reminds me a more finely trimmed version of the Skinfood Black Sugar Mask.
The products I was most excited to try were the COSRX products I recently bought. Ciracle and Cosrx (and OST/c20) are sister labels, just in case you were wondering, and they made some fantastic stuff...Their packaging isn't fancy, but it's very simple and elegant, which I really like. Even if they don't look really appealing, I swear their stuff works wonderfully.
The AHA 7 Whitehead Power liquid is a treatment to exfoliate skin and get rid of whiteheads...I'm using it since two weeks, so I can't really tell if it's working. From now, it's been really pulling all the junk out of my skin, which is leaving my skin in a bad looking condition because it's purging like crazy. I'm really satisfied to get rid of everything, to be honest.
The Other skincare item I'm happy to try is Ciracle Goodbye Blackhead Pore Control Sheets, some pads that should help unclog the pores and get rid of blackheads and sebaceous filaments. We'll see how it works! The last addition to my precious skincare stuff it's Mizon Ac Care Solution Blemish After Cream. I was unsure if I wanted the Ciracle Red Spot Cream or This, but I decided to get this to try more products from Mizon.
Since Korea seems to be the heaven of light foundations and bb creams, why not try more of them? I started from this one from Missha because everyone in Asia is raving about it, telling how it's the perfect economic dupe for the Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation. I've worn this maaaany times, and I guess I've suddenly become unable to wear foundations, because it doesn't matter how much I try, but It seems like I still haven't figured out a way to make this foundation work on my skin.
I'm always happy to try more products from 3CE, and most of all, to try out a new concealer since I'm running out of my studio sculpt in NC15 from MAC, which have been discontinued ....sadly. I'm looking for a new holy grail, but it seems like this one won't be "the one".
Remember when I said that 3CE has hits and fails here? Well, if the Waterfull Concealer isn't impressive as I hoped, these nail polishes are da bomb.com of nail polishes. I've been wearing them since the first day i received it in my mail, and yeah...I'm surviving with just these two colours.
Last but not least, I've added some new shades to my collection of Aritaum Honey melting tint...I'm planning to get the other pink shades, because I definitely bought too many oranges. I really really love them, and be prepared to have a review very soon!
Are you interested in something? Let me know in the comments or on facebook, and I'll try to make a review as soon as I can :)

IBuyBeauti mi ha inviato come campioncini ( che poi non sono
campioncini, ma veri e propri prodotti full-size) tre maschere di Malie(?).
Non avevo mai sentito questa marca, né avevo intenzione di comprarle, quindi
sarà interessante testarle. Di solito, con varie ricerche, ho notato che il brand viene individuato con "Enkel and Malie" su Ebay, o solo Malie su Gmarket... Ma non ho trovato nessuna informazione particolare! Eventualmente aggiornerò il post se trovo qualcosa.
Ho deciso che testerò queste tre maschere a 7 giorni le une
dalle altre (1 alla settimana), senza utilizzarne altre, -nemmeno la
mint julep,- immediatamente prima o immediatamente dopo, in modo da descrivere
le condizioni della pelle prima e dopo l’applicazione.
Le tre maschere che mi sono state inviate sono:
-
CUCUMBER Ultra Hydrating Essence Mask
La maschera al cetriolo ha molti componenti idratanti e
Kalium. Il cetriolo calma e rilassa la pelle soggetta per troppo tempo alla
stimolazione dei raggi ultravioletti. Inoltre il cetriolo è un buon umettante
per la pelle secca mentre il Kalium disintossica
la pelle e ristabilisce la pressione sanguigna.
-
PEARL
Ultra hydrating Essence Mask
Un elevato grado di estratto di perla
mantiene la pelle morbid ed idratata. Gli amminoacidi e i minerali nelle perle
rendono la pelle luminosa, con un effetto schiarente istantaneo.
-
ALOE Ultra Hydrating Essence Mask
ALOE Ultra Hydrating Essence Mask
Già da lungo tempo l’aloe viene utilizzato
come rimedio tradizionale. L’aloe ha proprietà antinfiammatorie, calmanti, aiuta la circolazione del sangue, aiuta il
ricambio cellulare e ha proprietà detossinanti. Il Phlegmatic
Polysaccaride nell’aloe è un umettante naturale ricco di antiossidanti.
Sono mask sheets, quindi stoffa a forma di viso impregnata
dal prodotto/siero/crema, che in questo caso ha una texture in gel.
Ecco come Malie descrive le sue maschere:
La maschera apporta la giusta idratazione e
nutrimento alla pelle esposta agli stimoli esterni e i suoi componenti attivi
formano una barriera protettiva che
aiuta a mantenere la pelle idratata senza che l’acqua evapori dalla pelle. Ha effetti idratanti e addolcenti che rendono
la pelle sana, energizzata e pulita con
il giusto apporto di nutrizione e idratazione.
Ora aspetto solo di testarle :)
Ora aspetto solo di testarle :)
ANNUNCIO:
Siccome ho una quantità immane di campioncini accumulati nel
cassetto, ho deciso che inizierò una nuova rubrica chiamata First Impressions,
dove userò per la prima volta anche io i campioncini che mi sono stati
inviati. Non penso che dare le prime impressioni di prodotti che si
possiede in full size sia utile, mentre invece nel caso dei campioncini la
prima impressione è decisiva perché è ciò che ti spinge a comprare qualcosa
che, in certi casi, nemmeno avresti considerato.
Since I
stocked a big amount of samples, i decided to use them. I thought it could have
been interesting using the samples to give you a “first impression”, because
the sample is what makes you decide to buy the full size product.
