"Gold is timeless" this saying proves true. Gold indeed is used in skincare for its ability to improve blood circulation thus acting as a potent anti-aging wonder. On top of that, gold is really moisturizing, it has an anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties and of course, it can leave your skin GLOWING LIKE GOLD!






So I bought the Elishacoy 24k Gold Luxury Ultra Moisture Mask on a promo and it came with a 24k Gold Luxury Serum.









This is mask made with pulp sheet which is very comfortable on the face. This is actually a little bit bigger than those of Etude House's which I think it's better for me having a big face. LOL!





This contains 2 of nature's most powerful skin-restoring agents:

1. Gold can activate the basal cells of the skin which reduces the elasticity of the skin. It thus reduces wrinkles, fine lines, blemishes and marks on the skin, and will make you look younger.

2. Caviar extract was found to speed up the natural production of collagen up to 67% and significantly reduces the protein cross linking (fibronectin). Caviar extract is very rich in vitamins A, D, B1, B2, B6 and micro-elements, which intensify the processes inside the skin cells and at the same time slow down the aging process by moisturizing the skin.










Verdict:

I really like that even though it say's ultra moisture mask, it's not sticky at all. In fact, it's very watery yet very hydrating and brightening. For some unknown reason, my skin looked a little "gold". Normally my skin is a little pinkish without make up but after using this mask, it somehow looks really golden! Maybe indeed there is gold particles in this sheet mask.





PROS:

-very hydrating
-very light


CONS:

-it is a little expensive
-It has a strong smell which I don't like. It's almost like soap



I can't say much about how strong it is in the anti-aging department yet because, well I don't have wrinkles yet nor have the feeling that I am really aging now. (I may be on denial considering I am already 25?) But anyway, I think I won't repurchase this again because of the price. I still love my Etude House's I Need You Mask still. Haha!

What is an essence?

An essence is a concentrated formula that specifically targets wrinkles, fine lines, and dull and uneven skin tones. Korean essences typically contain an active ingredient that optimizes your skin's natural cell turnover rate and with regular use you will notice that your skin is more smoother and brighter. 

 This is a really important skincare product as it is responsible in increasing the rate of skin regeneration and it treats your skin in a cellular level.

 It is very important that you choose the best essence for you. I have been loving fermented essences as it contains probiotics which just doesn't increase cell turnover, furthermore, itcan also help preventing acne.



Nature Republic The First Essence is very similar to SK II Essence as it is also a fermented essence which claims to brighten, moisturize, even out skin tone and maintain a clear complexion









This is the list of the main ingredients and what it does. It actually has the full list of ingredients on the packaging however, I have thrown away mine before. It is actually very wholesome and it has 90% fermented yeast which is absolutely GREAT! The ingredients are good coming from fermented yeast and some herbs which altogether helps the skin to recover and maintain health.







The Packaging:


Just like other essences, it is contained in a frosted glass. I'm not sure what the reason is but maybe it has to do in maintaining the product's effectiveness.








The Product:


It is very light and watery and not sticky at all.





Once applied, it is easily absorbed and it is actually very moisturizing. The brightening effect is also immediate, maybe because of the moisture that it gives to your skin. It is very refreshing and it doesn't sting your skin.







VERDICT:

Pros:
-brightening
-moisturizing
-very light on the skin
-mildly scented
-after a long use, skin is smoother and more even


Cons:
The packaging is a little bit heavy other than that I can't think of anything wrong with it.
Honestly, it will benefit everyone. I have oily skin but yet I still use it to manage oil-moisture balance for a healthier skin.

Nature Republic The First Essence Review

Having a massage is really relaxing. It increases blood flow to our body thus, giving more oxygen-rich red blood cells to help in the repair process of our body. When we think of it of having a massage, it's always about the body, the back and the head. 

 Did you ever think of having a facial massage? Just like our other body parts, the face is also filled with muscles. Muscles which may get tired and weak due to unhealthy lifestyle and the natural process of aging that is why facial massages are every bit as important. 

 Here are a few benefits and tips on how to massage your face as taken from The Face Shop:





In addition, facial massages have been found to help achieving a smaller face by facilitating lymphatic drainage. Experts recommend you don't exceed 20 minutes when massaging the face. Massaging the face for a long time may in fact weaken our facial muscles which may lead to skin sagging and cause premature wrinkles.

 So there you have it! Together, let's achieve a healthier body and more beautiful skin! 
Cheers to that! <3

Facial Massage: Practical Way to Keeping Youthful Skin

Tired of having dull skin and clogged pores? These are the usual concerns of men and women alike.
As a skincare junkie, I've journeyed through the highs and lows of trying out a lot of products. Cleansing has and will always be the utmost priority before starting your skincare regime.

I never had a Clarisonic because it's way too expensive for me so I tried out facial brushes. It was good. It cleaned my skin well but I noticed that my skin has gone more sensitive ad sometimes it also causes discomfort after a while of using it. I wanted something which will deeply cleanse my skin with  little stimulation and I have learned about Elishacoy's 3d Spin Cleaner. It was on sale, it was 50% off so I grabbed this chance. Yes, I was skeptical but after trying it, instantaneously, I fell inlove with it. the Results was really like using a facial brush but what's special about it is that it didn't stimulated my skin. It didn't leave it sensitive.

This is how it looks like:


I bought this whole set at 50% off. It comes with a facial brush(the white one), a pore brush( the brown one) and an Elishacoy Vita Capsule Cleanser, a complementary facial wash that goes best with the 3d Spin Cleaner. I'm sorry I no longer have its cap. I could have misplaced or I'm just too lazy to look for it since I'm using this on a daily basis as part of my nightly routine. This baby here is a real deal when it comes to cleaning your face.

After washing my face with ElishaCoy 3D Spin Cleaner


I noticed that after cleansing my face, I think my pores are even less visible compared to when I was still wearing makeup.

VERDICT:

It is pricey but it's worth the investment. I can really tell that I get less breakouts now and that my skin is smoother.

Elishacoy 3D Spin Cleaner Review

“Kiss thy lips and you will see what thou create.” 
― Santosh Kalwar

Our lips don't tan. They just burn and so special attention must be given much like our facial skin, it need to be protected from the sun and it also needs to be moisturized. Licking your lips to lubricate it will not do you any good because of evaporation which leads to further drying of the lips.

Today, I will be reviewing one of the "raved" lip balms in all of Korea, Missha's Glow Tint Lip Balm.  I got mine in Vital Pink as I would like to keep my make up clean, fresh and simple.


I'm sorry guys, I don't have the box anymore and mine doesn't look that good since I have already been using it for quite some time but anyway I'll still show you how it looks like in person.


It has a cute packaging, it's pink! ^___^

Here is its description and ingredients taken from Missha's website:



I think this lip balm is filled with a whole lot of goodness. Personally, it really moisturizes my lips well and I like its richness but it's also not too sticky. It's just right and perfect for me. It also has an SPF 18 which is really good especially in a tropical country like the Philippines.

This is is claimed to be a dupe for Dior Addict Lip Glow.

How does it looks like applied on your lips?

This is my lips without the lip balm. I put on The Saemm's Pink Water Tint here and tried to create gradient lips but it's not as good with Missha's Glow Tint Lip Balm on.


After applying Missha's Glow Tint Lip Balm on, see how everything blends in creating a moist, well-blended gradient lips.


PROS:
*really moisturizing
*has an SPF 18
*cute packaging

CONS
* a little deceiving with the "tint" on its name when it actually doesn't offer much color
* a bit pricey, I bought it at around P400-P500

FINAL VERDICT:

Eventhough it's a bit pricey but still I love how it blends everything up. It is good in moisturizing my lips and the added protection against the sun is great. I'll rate it as 3.5/5 just because of the price. :)

Missha's Glow Tint Lip Balm in Vital Pink Review

Hello there! My name is Von. I am 25 years old and I am a skincare junkie! I have been fascinated with the complexity of the beauty standards of different cultures. I am specifically drawn to East Asian beauty especially the Koreans. The Koreans are known to have flawless skin. They give great importance to their skin care. They value make up which doesn't just cover up their imperfections but ultimately, they want to FEED their skin.

Having this kind of fascination towards beauty, I have been trying and experimenting with different brands and labels. I started out with Western brands like L'oreal, Maybelline and Revlon. Yes, I was happy. I was happy with the coverage it gives. Then comes the rise of Korean skincare and cosmetics market, I tried it out again. I started to use Etude House's products and O-M-G, the coverage it gives was really comparable to Western brands but what got my attention and affection is that my skin was shouting that it was HAPPY! 

After days and months of using Etude House's products, I began to want more, more and more. I want to have that K-pop idol skin. That glow, that flawlessness that youthfulness, I wanted it so bad and thus my journey to Korean skincare and cosmetics began which was fueled by a good friend SaeSilPArk.

Right now, I am not just an enthusiast, not just a user but I am also a pusher. I push people who believe that beauty can be timeless, that beauty can be forever regardless of your age, ethnicity and skin color.
