A.H.C Hydra B5 Soother

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been posting lately. No time to photograph myself putting on skincare. I'll just tell you guys about this amazing serum that I've discovered, and have gifted to friends and family members over the 2012 holiday season. Everyone has been asking me to buy more for them since I found this in Hong Kong. It is called the Hydra B5 Soother.

Yes. That water in the background correctly depicts how amazingly moisturizing this product is. It makes your skin very smooth and doesn't have a weird sticky left over feeling that I know some gels can leave.

It comes in this little dropper bottle. You just need one or two drops for your entire face. The result is.. that it leaves your skin feeling so supple and really moist from the inside out. Not like creamy moisturized that just sits on top of your skin... but this actually gives your skin a drink.

I love this one. I also think whenever girls come back to a product, that it's a keep for sure. There are so many products out there that it's easy to be tempted to try something new.... but this one's definitely for keeps.

<3 itttt!!!

I got this from ColourMix in Hong Kong. They sometimes have periods when they do a special "Buy one get one free" promotion. It costs around $120 for 2 bottles, but online I see it costs around $90 for one bottle. So if you're ever in Hong Kong, remember to stock up on these babies! The ColourMix I always go to is the one in the MTR station walkway between Hong Kong station and Central station.


I gave my mom and some people with "mature" skin this Phyto Complex Gel to use, and they were not crazy about it.

It is supposed to tighten the skin, so I can imagine it makes the skin feels uncomfortable. I've also heard that this one leaves a sticky after feel... so I would suggest you stick with the Hydra 5 Soother.


Sit tight! I have more discoveries to share. Promise to post more often :)


Love,

Rosie

ARITAUM's Intense Hydro Gel Mask (Bamboo Moist)

     My friend brought this mask back from Korea for me. I was almost too lazy to do a review because I thought this mask would be like any other mask, but when I opened the packet, I was really amazed! 

MY REVIEW: 

     The consistency of this mask is a cool gel, unlike the usual moist cloth masks I usually use. It really conforms to your skin so you can do other things without having to worry about it peeling off.

     There's a pleasant clean smell to this mask. I'm already in love. The packet is mostly in Korean, so I did a little research on this mask. Apparently, it's formulated with bamboo extract and minerals to calm rough skin. It's supposed to create "moist and elastic skin".  It says to keep it on for 10-15 minutes, but I'm keeping this baby on for 30. It's just so fun and different! I wish my skin was as smooth as this mask! Try it and you'll see what I'm talking about. I took some photos show you can see the consistency:

     Aritaum is not a brand, but a road store that carries all of Amore Pacific's products. You can order the masks here.

Also, another plus about this mask I just realized recently is that it comes in TWO HALVES. Why should this be important you ask? Well, a few days ago I used a mask that was a one-piece of this gel substance, and it ripped! Once it rips, it just does NOT stop ripping. (The ripping mask wasn't anything great so that's why I'm not going to review it) Dividing the mask in halves makes it a lot less likely to rip apart when you are taking it off the plastic sheet backing. Very clever indeed.
