Skinfood Black Rasberry Su Serum Review

Hey everyone~ ^-^

Today I have another review for you guys, Skinfood's Black Rasberry Su Serum.

I bought it in Korea, because I really wanted to buy something from Skinfood, and the Serum weighed less than toners or other things. Also, it just looks so cute..

Price: 12,76 $ on Koreadepart

Amount: 45 ml

The serum comes in this lovely glass bottle and the actual lid is covered with this paper wrapping with rasberry print. Doesn't it remind you of a marmalade jar somehow? ^^ 

The serum is mostly made for those that have dry skin, or normal skin that gets a bit dry during winter. Since my skin is very sensitive and quite dry in some areas, and winter was coming soon, I decided it would be just the right serum for me.

Like all serums, it's supposed to be applied after your toner.

Something I like about Skinfood is that  they actually put the expiration date onto their items. For someone as forgetful as I am, who can't even remember her time schedule, yet alone the day on which she opened a product, this is great because this way, i won't forget after which time i'm not supposed to use it anymoe ^^

If you take the super adorable bottle cap, made out of cork material, off, it reveals really handy pump, which is great for adjusting the amount of serum you actually need, and it's also really hygenic.

The serum's very thick, as serum's are supposed to be. It's quite sticky, and after applying it onto your face you'll definitely feel that it's there. Since the texture is that thick, it will take some time until your skin fully absorbed it.

While this serum might not be the most pleasant to have on your skin (too sticky), it does a great job in moisturizing you skin over night. When I wake up, my skin does feel less dry than usual, and not sticky at all anymore. I would not recommend applying this in the morning though, especially not during warmer seasons.

That's it for today, I hope you enjoyed this short review ^-^
Did you buy Skinfood cosmetics before? If yes, which ones are your favourites?

Skinfood Lettuce & Cucumber Toner Review

Hey everyone~Here's another review for you all ^-^I've got lots of stuff that I still have to review (especially all the things I bought in Korea last year), so since I don't want to spam you with travel posts (of which I still have many to write), I'll try to keep a balance between Skincare stuff and Travel posts. Right now i'm a tiny bit busy so I haven't had time to edit all the photos of my Asia trip yet. Which is why today you'll see a review of a Skincare product instead. Yay or Nay? :D

Price: Between 7 and 10€ on EbayAmount: 135mlSo I bought this because I couldn't buy a toner in Korea and I really needed one. Why, you might ask?Well...my luggage was over the weight limit already when I came to Korea, so I had to stick to lightweight things and Toners in glass bottles are kinda heavy. T^T So I ordered this one from Ebay.

The ingredients list is only in Korean, so if you particularly care about those you might need to use a translator.It says "A Moisture toner with lettuce and cucumber extracts that promotes clean, pure skin"Which is exactly what I need. My skin is not oily at all, but tends to get a few dry areas and is really sensitive.I'm a little bit upset though that the only item that seemed suitable was this one.Compared to all the other cool skincare lines from Skinfood, Lettuce and Cucumber just kind of sounds really...boring. T^T It doesn't look as cool as their other skincare lines either.

I still love how detailed all of Skinfood's product packaging is. Look at that lettuce and cucumber on the bottle :DBy the way, it actually smells like cucumber. If you don't like that smell, beware.I happen to really like cucumber (it's so refreshing to eat in summer), so it's alright for me.

The texture is like any other toner, very watery and not that thick.It easily soaks into your skin and feels very lightweight, not sticky at all.So far, I haven't noticed many changes in my skin condition since I've started using it (already used up half of the bottle now). I only get pimples when I'm on my period (you girls know that problem, right? ;-;) and my skin still feels dry sometimes, but I guess to actually give your skin moisture you'd need to use something stronger than just a toner. This one feels refreshing to apply in the morning, and it prepares my skin for the next steps. And it didn't break me out, even though my skin does that quickly with new products, so yay :DDo you use Skinfood products too? Which ones would you recommend, or which ones would you like to try? :D

Skinfood Real Fresh Multi Juice #4 Review

I'm back ~

I haven't uploaded anything for months, I know. And I'm terribly sorry about that ;-;

There are 2 resons why I didn't really update this blog:

1: I finally started University, yay :D My Major is East-Asia Studies, focusing on China, and my Minor is English Studies. I've spent the past year mostly with studying Chinese...which meant that I almost had zero free time. Studying Chinese iss really time consuming, we had homework every day and tests every friday. Not to mention that all homework counted into our final grade.
I barely had time for anything.

Which leads to reason number 2:

My old laptop sucked.

I got that laptop about 7 years ago for my birthday, but back then my parents didn't buy a new one, they got one that a colleague of my dad was about to throw away. So basically they got me trash for my birthday ^^'' And since that laptop was already not really good to begin with, with the years it got worse and worse. It took me at least one hour to upload maybe 5 photos, because it kept crashing or freezing the screen. And since I was so busy with university, I didn't have the patience to spend that much time waiting for my laptop to restart because it couldn't handle uploading a few photos.

But, I got a new laptop now :D

So I can blog again, yay! 

(And I can finally try editing photos, which I could never do before, so stay tuned for my super belated travel posts )

Today, as my coming back post, I'm gonna review something I got while I was in Korea last year. Back then, Skinfood's Jungle fruits line just came out and the whole store was jungle themed :D

             I went into the store mostly looking for lip products, and then I saw this gem:

Price: 4,000 Won (~3,70€)

Amount: 3,3g

Colour: #4

As you can see, you can use this product everywhere~ 

I personally only use it on my eyes and sometimes lips. I'm not using blushes very often, and this colour looks way~ too unnatural for me to use as a blush. I'm sure the other colours will work fine though.

This colour is so strong.

                                                                  I mean look at this.

You just need a tiny little bit of colour and it will still be super pigmented.

Just a tiny bit of colour on the back of my hand...

Wiped over it once...

And after completely spreading it. It's really amazing how pigmented the colour is. 

If you're not into neon colours on your face, I would recommend to just dab a little(!) bit onto the back of your hand, then tap your finger on it and only then putting the colour on your face. Otherwise it won't look very natural since the colour is so strong.

This is how much colour actually is in the bottle...they're quite the cheaters, it's less than I thought it would be, but since the colour is so pigmented it's still fine~

So here's what it looks like when applied:

on the lips~

                                          as eyeshadow~

                as blush~ ( I didn't apply much because I was afraid I'd end up looking like a clown)



                          That's it. Here's a derpy picture of me with the multi juice applied everywhere~
                                                I really need to practice taking proper Selca.
                                                          Do you have any tips for me? ^-^

Koreadepart Skincare & Cosmetics Haul

About two weeks ago, a friend and I decided to order some things from Koreadepart because we discovered so much more awesome products (judging from reviews on other blogs) that we didn't buy in Korea. The package finally arrived on Tuesday and wow~ Koreadepart really is fast.
For those of you who don't know Koreadepart, here's a short description of the online shop:
Koreadepart sells all kinds of Korean skincare, cosmetics, even some food and clothes. They have a big~ selection of various brands such as Etude House, The Face Shop and others. When ordering, you have to send two payments:  -One directly after ordering (=price of the items)
                               -Another one after they bought all items and weighed the package (=shipping price)
All in all, the process took less than two weeks for us. Including shipping. Our package was sent with EMS, so we were also able to track our package. There weren't any cheaper options for shipping to Europe, but since we ordered together the shipping came out quite cheap for us (only 15€ for each).

Now to the interesting part:

This is what I spent my money on:

All in all I ordered 10 items (one was Tony Moly's Egg Pore Tightening Egg for my sister, which is not included in the picture) and it cost me about 50€ if I remember it right.

Tony Moly:

Cat Chu Lip Tint (Red)
Egg Pore Blackhead Out Oil
Panda's Dream Good-bye Dark Eye Corrector

Etude House:

Milk Tea Cleansing Cream
Wonderpore Freshner
Oh My God It's That Time Again Heat Patch

Skinfood:

Good Afternoon Peach&Cinammon Tea BB Cream

Nature Republic :

Green Tea Sheet Mask (5 pcs)
Aloe Vera Soothing Gel

And those are the samples I got:

I will do a review of all of those when I have more time ^^ And the weather is better...right now the lightning sucks 90% of the day, that's why the pictures look kind of crappy. Sorry about that T^T
