Nature Republic Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel | Review

The Nature republic Aleo Vera 92% Soothing Gel, has been a cult product among the Asian beauty bloggers. So how did it work for me ?

What It Claims:

Licensed by CCOF of California.

It is completely natural, alcohol free and contains natural vitamins and enzymes that are essential to healthy, radiant skin.

Aloe Vera 80% Toneris made of 80% Aloe extracts , leaving your skin smooth and silky. The Aloe extract can deeply moisturize your skin. It also soothe and soften the skin,to stimulate the growth of healthy tissue. Removes excess surface oil without drying, leaving skin even-toned and soft.

Can be used as:

1.  Moisturizing cream or mask pack
2.  Base make up
3.  After shave cream
4.  Hair treatment
5.  Relax Swollen Eyes
6. Nail essence
7.  Body care
8.  Mask pack for relaxing sunburns

Yes I know I should probably go threw all 8 points, but I'm not going to. I'm purely going to tell how It worked for moisturizing my skin, and body. 

How did It work for me?

The harsh North American winters can be brutal on my skin, so In the winter I like to add an extra layer of moisture to my skin when I go to bed. So I can keep all my dry patches and scaly skin at bay (enter In the aloe vera gel that everyone keeps raving about). 

1. It's Improved the overall texture of my skin 
2. Not oily 
3. Cooling sensation (reduces puffiness around my eyes) 
4. Very light so It's perfect for summer, and moisturizing enough for winter time 
5. It does have a lot of different uses 
6. Great price for the amount of product you get (300ml /10.56 fl.oz.)
7. No cons In my opinion 

I think there are so many uses for this product, that you really can't go wrong. And the crazy thing Is, It truly works. So yes I'm In the cult....  

Overall 4.7/5

Tony Moly Pocket Bunny Sleek Mist | Review

What It Claims:

Tony Moly Pocket Bunny Sleek Mist contains the essence of white fruits and vegetables, 
such as radish, cabbage and lemon extract. With a fresh aroma, it will provide you with a fresh feeling. And the packing is compact and easy to carry. 


"All these ingredients effectively reduce oil secretion and provide you with moisture, leaving your skin rich in nutrients" 

- Sasa.com

What did It do for me?

PRO'S 

1. Gave my makeup a nice finish 
2. Controlled my small amount of oiliness
3. Convenient 
4. Slightly Moisturizing  

CON'S 

1. Wasn't amazing 
2. Not enough product 

This product is effective, and It gave a really nice satin finish to my makeup. So I really enjoyed It for setting my makeup, but I did not see the nutrients It claims to infuse your skin with. As for oil control I don't have oily skin, so I don't know how It would work for people with very oily skin. 

Does this product deliver on what It claims ?

Yes and No 

I think this product does a really great job at setting your makeup and giving it a nice finish, but as for the skin benefits I didn't see any. 

I highly recommend this for setting your makeup and taking away the powdery look. 

Overall 

3.9/5

Skin79 Rose Mist Toner | Review

Skin 79 Rose Mist Toner claims to 

1. Relax the body and mind with rose aroma 
2. Moisturize dehydrated skin
3. Liven skin with continual moisture 
4. Plus It's a simple portable toner 

"An Aromatic Oasis For Dry Skin"

"The Hydrating Skin Project"

-Skin79 website

What did It do for me?

PRO'S

1. Love the smell 
2. Gentle on the skin
3. Can be used over makeup, gives you a dewy glow 
4. Refreshing 
5. Hydrating/Moisturizing  

CON'S 

1. No serious cons 

Skin79 really delivered on this product, I really believe It achieves everything It claims, expect the whole calming the mind and spirit thing. Every time I use my skins look more awake (if that's possible) I don't look so tired Is what I'm trying to get at. 

Immediate Results I saw

After I washed my face I used my regular toner, then I moisturized, and then I sprayed this over my face. When I woke up in the morning my skin didn't look so dull or tired! So this was on the first night I used the mist, and I've continued using it this way. 

Results after a week of use 

I'll say this right now I haven't seen a stupendous/mind boggling improvement In my skin, but I have seen enough of an improvement to repurchase, and I think that's proof enough that a products works. My skin just looks healthier overall!

Final Thoughts

I also absolutely love putting this over my makeup, as I said it gives me a dewy glow while setting my makeup into place (and no It doesn't slide around my face). And the smell could be an issue for some people, but for me It wasn't a big deal. 

I would honestly recommend this to anyone (my mom even loves It). 

Overall 

4.5/5

Review = Mizon Snail Recovery Gel Cream

Description:
Mizon Multi Function Formula Snail Recovery Gel Cream is a lightweight gel cream that reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Its gel like consistency allows it to penetrate deeper than traditional creams and leaves a light bare feeling. Although light in texture, this cream is highly effective, containing 74% snail slime extract. Snail slime extract promotes the production of collagen, allowing it to plump existing wrinkles and prevent new ones from forming.

PRO'S

• Light weight 
• Highly moisturising
• Effective 
• Gives a bare feeling once dry 
• Perfect for under your makeup 
• Suitable for all skin types 

CON'S

• None that i can think of !

I highly recommend this product to anyone , I am indefinably in love with Mizons snail recovery gel. It has a perfect gel texture , not to light and not to heavy. It's light weight formula allows your skin to breath throughout the night , but It also penetrates deep into your skin hydrating and correcting your problem area's (i.e Redness). When I woke up in the morning my skin looked bright, and refreshed , so all In all , this has defiantly Impressed me. Now since I have dry skin I don't know how oily skin would fair with this , but I assume It would be just fine. Whatever the case may be you have to try this product, no you MUST try this product , I promise you , you won't be able to live without It ! 

Overall 

4.79/5

Review = Missha Super Aqua Cell Renew Cream

PRO'S

• Light Gel Texture 
• Notable Ingredients 
• No Scent 
• Perfect for Normal to Oily-Combination skin

CON'S

• Not that moisturising
• Doesn't make a difference in skin texture 

 

OK so I'm trying to find a snail product i actually like , but it's proving to be difficult. I'm really indifferent to this product , it wasn't bad , it just didn't do anything for me. That being said makeup and skincare is personal , so i always try and list the pro's of a product , because not everyone has the same skin as me. This product is good for someone with Normal to Oily-Combination skin. 

Overall 

3.3/5

Please let me know if you liked me leaving links for places to purchase this product.

Review = Skin79 SUE Hydrating Gel

Description:
Skin79 SUE Hydrating Gel is part of a high-moisture line with triple-moisturising effect that works to keep both the inside and surface of the skin moist. Contains HYDRA-NGC and Phyto-Marine Complex, which contain skin activating components for deep moisture. This hydrating gel forms a moisture band on the skin that helps maintain soft and sleek skin for long periods of time.

PRO'S 

• Light Weight 
• Light Texture 
• Great for Summer 
• Fairly Inexpensive 

CON'S

• Very Uneventful 
• Nothing Special

Alright i have to say i always look forward to Skin79's products , but this one was not a miss , but i wasn't a hit either. This is meant for someone with oily to combination skin , because it just wont do anything for you if you have dry skin. It basically does the job but not well enough. On the other hand if your a grease pit defiantly give this a try because like i said its not a bad moisturiser , its just not suited for me. 

Overall 

3.8/5
