Hi guys! Welcome back to my blog~ Today I will be sharing on a more detailed review of a package sent by Althea which consist of really adorable meringue makeup puffs, sheet masks and also an interesting blackhead removal stick.
A big thank you for kose cosmeport for sending me a big bag of goodies to try out, have fun and pamper myself with~! I received a total of 12 items and had been trying them out on and off for the past 2 weeks.
I was so glad to be able to try out Purito's Centella Green Level All In One Mild Pads. The founder contacted me first and I was kindly gifted a few products in exchange for my honest opinions.
Founded in 2014, Purito is a brand committed to using safe and honest ingredients. They do not perform animal testing, and produce eco-friendly products at reasonable prices.
Founder is very friendly and open to any forms of feedbacks, regardless positive or negative which I am very impressed.
Back with another review for acne treatments! I love acne treatments and I try lots of them, alternate about to see which heals my blemishes most effectively. Wishtrend was kind enough to send me one to try, I managed to do a first impression review within the first two weeks on my IG to hit the review deadline. Now, I am going to do a more detailed post on it.
What is it
The Teca 1% Barrier Cream creates a protective layer to keep moisture and active ingredients
within the skin while strengthening, calming, and improving the skin’s overall health.
Contains Centella asiatica to help regenerate the skin. Helps restore damaged and weakened skin barrier.
Ingredient list:
Water, Dipropylene Glycol, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Cetearyl Alcohol, Dimethicone, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Cyclopentasiloxane, Ethyl Hexanediol, Cyclohexasiloxane, Asiaticoside, Madecassic Acid, Asiatic Acid, Tromethamine, Carbomer, Xanthan Gum, Glyceryl Caprylate, Allantoin, Disodium EDTA
Notable ingredients:
Centella asiatica extract (Asiaticoside, asiactic acid, madecassic acid)
Rich in amino acids, beta carotene, fatty acids, and phytochemicals.
Improves circulation, collagen and skin tissue.
Boosts antioxidant activity, strengthens skin.
Allantoin (Good for Oily & Sensitive Skin)
Skin Conditioning, Skin Protecting, Soothing.
Comes in a tube packaging which is more hygienic.
There was a silver foil at the tip prior to opening.
It leaves a silicon residue behind. If silicon clogs your pores or break you out, this product might not be for you. However, it works great on my badly flaky, dried out pimple since moisture can be better retained.
No stain left behind. Matt, colorless.
Does it does what it claims?
Claim 1: Helps regenerate damaged skin due to collagen synthesis.
Helps to heal acne. I only used it once a day - at night so the results was not as fast.
Claim 2: Prevents acne scars, lightens pigmentation.
On this, I don't feel it helps to lighten my pigmentation. It helps to heal and soothe, but not in reducing acne scarrings.
Summary of product:
| Packaging |
~ A dark, opaque tube packaging. I prefer tube over tubs as they would not get contaminated easily.
| Smell |
| Smell |
~ Nothing too strong, a medicinal scent.
| Color? |
~ White, silicon feel.
| Pros |
~ Helps in preventing flaky pimples. Other spots treatment can be very drying since it's to dry out pimples to heal it faster. Upon using this, my make up wouldn't get stuck and flake off on the pimples.
~ Scent was not funky, smells medicinal.
~ Hygienic packaging.

~ Contains sillicon which may clog pores, so be careful. Spot treating should be relatively safe, if it's not applying over the entire face. Results may differ with different skin types.
~ Pricey.

| Thoughts |
If you face pimples that are always drying up and makeup is not applying on properly, this seems to be a good option to try out. I need to be transparent that the product has a few higher comedogenic ratings which is not so suitable for oilier skintypes. It's a perfect product for all skin types as claimed but for me, a drier and sensitive skin type would love this more.

Till the next time!
Hi there! It's a requested post so I decided to talk about my favourite skincare profucts for 2017. I have oily and sensitive skin type. So for this post it's gonna be more for people that are facing oily, sensitive, acne prone skin concerns. I only share products with I am very confident with in this post.
I totally understand online shopping can be tricky. I had included my experience of shopping with some stores below. I hope it would be helpful if you are gonna purchase from the seller/s and being afraid. I had paid (real money) when I shopped from the stores below, so no sponsored or paid ads below.
Here's another toner review which I had been using since a few months ago and I realised the contents were still in my draft. I decided to retake the photos since I was free. This was a really pretty toner which caught my eyes immediately.
Since I am done with so many bottles of the Cosrx cleanser, it's time for me to really talk about it here on my blog! I personally LOVE this cleanser to bits and that's the reason why I kept going back for it. Cosrx's packaging were constantly simple and straightfoward. The cleanser comes in a white tube with an eye catching blue and yellow label.
Hello, I am back with another product kindly provided by Wishtrend for my thoughts on it. Initially I was really excited on this because it's my first time trying out a cleanser in a powder form and also, with green tea! Green tea is one of my favourite ingredients as it helps with irritated and acne prone skin. I used to wash my face with green tea lukewarm water thrice a week in the past.
