Chapstick 100% Naturals Lip Butter

I got the purple one

Winter is the season when I get annoying chapped lips and thus it is the reason why I hunt for the best lip balm the most around this time. So far this is the BEST! It's the Chapstick 100% Naturals Lip Butter and I got it for 5000 won (which is $5 US; I bet you can get it for MUCH cheaper in the States...). Anyways, Chapstick claims it is made 100% natural ingredients and it will moisturize your lips and I have to say that it is true! The ingredients were in the package I it came with, but unfortunately I threw it away a while ago... However I remember it being very natural indeed with jojoba  oil, castor oil, shea butter, etc.

When I apply this to my lips, it goes on sooooooo smoothly! I literary glides on! When I put it on my lips, it its really "light" and I feel like I put oil on my lips. It also gives me a beautiful natural shine. The best part is, after it goes away, you lips will still be moisturized and you won't need to reapply!

This chapstick line comes with another lip balm called botanical melody, however I read many negative reviews so I would recommend to buy the lip butter instead.

Overall 5/5 I really like this product and my hunt is at rest, until I get bored with this one ^.^

Tony Moly Morning Pack

Okay, I went to Tony Moly a few days ago and found the cutest thing in the world! Its apparently like leave on mask you only put on mornings and it is suppose to prep you for makeup while adding some moisture to your skin ; so it is somewhat a primer. You are suppose to put this on after putting on your moisturizer and before putting on your sunscreen. The price for this is 10500 won which is about $10.50 US
The consistency is reaaaaaallly light! If you have ever tried out Clinique's Extended Thirst Relief, this is almost the same cosistency except more lighter. I really love how fast this penetrates into my skin and the smell is really subtle; I think the smell is like a quiet tone of vanilla.
I love the packaging for this! Its in a little cup and the "spoon" comes out and you can use it was a spatula. Its really secure and well made!
When I first tried it out two days ago, I really liked how my skin felt like it was "waking up". There was no tingly feeling, but the cream itself was really cool (the temperature cool =P). I only need a pea size amount since the cream was easily spreadable. During lunch time, when I looked at myself in the mirror, my pores looked invisible and my skin was really smooth! There are no breakouts so far, but I'll updated here in about a month to see how I like it then ^.^
With my short experience I really like this product and it is worth every penny 5/5
...Will update in about a month
Okay its been over a month and I still really like this product! I learned that it works better if I apply this AFTER putting on my sunscreen because when I put this before, I find that my sunscreen doesn't really get absorbed into my skin and just flakes off. Its fine with makeup though, sunscreen just seems to be the problem....

Kiehl's Calendula Herbal-Extract Toner

I've been looking for a toner for months, and I think I found a pretty decent one. It is called Kiehls Calendula Herbal - Extract Toner and it is alcohol free. Although it is for normal to oily skin, I think it is just fine for my normal to dry skin. I love how gentle this toner is and how natural this toner is made out of. It smells like nice tea  and although some people might not like the smell, I find it very soothing. There are petals in this toner are well; which makes it look cool, but I doubt they are necessary. Sadly other than that there is nothing really special about it. The high price tag of 58000 won which is about 58 dollars US makes me unhappy. In addition, It didn't do much for my skin, but it didn't break me out either... The SA at the Kiehls store gave me many samples of cleansers, sunscreen, moisturizer, etc. so after using some of those, I may go out and buy some more. I'll update on how those work!

Overall this toner is 3/5 because of its high price tag and it didn't do much for my skin thus I don't think I'll repurchase. If anyone has a good toner they would like to recommend please comment!

Tony Moly Lip Scrub

If you don't want to rub your lips off, I have a feeling you are going to love this! I was first attracted to this because of the cute packaging. As you can see in the picture, it is a lip that is colored hot pink. The scrub also has a cousin (which is red) and it is a lip balm. I use this product when I have chapped lips. I make my lips moist by dabbing on water, and then I just rub the product on. It has a peach like scent, and it is not abrasive like other lip scrubs I've tried (e.g. Body Shop). However, one downside to this is that since it is so "light" it may take a few more tries to get rid of your flaky lips. The consistency feels like a light moisturizer and it penetrates into your lips really fast; so if you don't have a lip balm near you after using this, you will be just fine for a while.

Overall this is a wonderful product and I'll totally repurchase since I don't like strong lip scrubs. 5/5

Skinfood rice concealer

Dark circles have always been with me since I was in elementary school and they've only gotten darker. About two months ago, I tried Skinfood's rice concealer and so far I'll say it is a okay concealer. First of all the color selection isn't too great with only two colors. I got the lightest since was specifically getting it for my under eyes and the color I'd say did fit my skin tone (being a NC20). This concealer has a smell to it so if you want an unscented concealer skip this because the scent of this is stronger most concealers I tried. I would say it gives of a light to medium coverage because for the under eye you would want to put the smallest amount possible since you don't any caking, but if you put on a bit more I would say a full coverage with this is possible. I wouldn't say this concealer is thick or thin but right in the middle, so blending it is really easy, thus it is ideal for under the eyes and the staying power is fantastic. However, this is not my holy grail concealer and it leaves me to keep looking for THE one. My dark circles are pretty dark is this only lightens them a little. It does not cover them up like I want a concealer to do. Another thing I don't like about is the stopper at the end of the tube. The stopper is suppose to sort of "wipe down" the doe tip of the concealer, but the stopper doesn't do anything along those lines; the stopper is too big to do anything. I got this concealer for 4300 won making that about $4.30 US

I would give this a 3.5/5 and I would not purchase for under eye purposes, but for anything else, it can be a possibility.

Skin Care

The weather here is driving my skin nuts! My skin has become extremely dry so my normal routine is not cutting it! So, I decided to add something called essence. I've never heard of something like it other than in Asia and what it does do you ask? It acts a an extra moisture to your skin. It is applied after your toner and before your moisturizer. Anyhows, the essence I got is from Etude House; its called collagen moistfull first essence. I used about a half of it in about a month and I actually really like it! As soon as I cleans my face, apply my toner, I apply this. After the application, my skin feels really moisturized! I think the packaging however could have been better. It is made out of glass with a screw on top, but the screw on top is too... iffy. Every time I finish using this and screw the cap back on, the cap does not screw on tight enough and it always leaves me worried. It just stands there with a really loose cap when it is the tightest it can be.

 Apparently its 90 something percent collagen but who knows right? The consistency is like a toner with a slightly sticking feeling. I got this product for 15000 won which is about 15 dollars US which is pretty worth it

I would rate this 4.5/5 just because of the weird cap, but other than that I would totally buy it again.
