Review: Lioele All Night Moisture Lip Essence (Treatment)


I purchased this product in hopes that it would help with my lip picking issues. It didn't.

*.. DESCRIPTION ..*



*.. OVERALL IMPRESSION ..*

I don't have too much to say about this product. I used it a few times and it actually made my lips feel worse so I had to stop. It smells like Vaseline and feels just about as thick. It feels like that cheap lip gloss all of our moms bought us from the dollar store so we would have "make up." It has no discernible scent. If you want chapped lips, this products works almost instantly. It's so thick I could probably have chewed it off.

Pros

-Absolutely nothing

Cons

-Very thick
-I put a small coat on because of the thickness and it spread over my face during the night and made me break out.
-Made my lips even more chapped
-Just feels cheap and gross

*.. SCORE ..*

0/5

This and all other reviews by me are 100% my opinion. I purchased these products with my own money for the purposed of skin care and decided to review them on my own.

Picture Issues!

Review: Holika Holika Apple Shine Turn Over Essence






*.. DESCRIPTION ..*


*.. PACKAGING ..*





*.. OVERALL IMPRESSION ..*

This is one of my favorite products!! My skin is usually a bit tight after I use my toner and it typically feels a bit dry. This essence goes on and it's like a refreshing glass of water on a hot day. It smells wonderfully like a granny smith apple. It's got a gel/lotion texture that I absolutely love. I'm not sure I'd be particularly clear if I said it makes my skin feel new, but it does. I have it on at the moment and if you rub your hand on my cheek, it's completely soft and smooth. It does make my skin feel a bit dry, but after I add my emulsion, it's okay. I would suggest following up with an emulsion or moisturizer. That being said, I'm really glad it's not sticky like another essence I've tried (can't recall the name!). I was worried about the size of the product, since the bottle is quite small, but only 2 pumps are needed to cover my whole face and the bottle has lasted me a while.

Pros

-Smooths skin quite a bit
-Easy to get out of the bottle (pump)
-Not sticky
-Smells fabulous!

Cons

-Leaves skin a bit dry
-Apple scent is strong for those who don't like strong scents (I like strong scents)
-I didn't really notice any "cares of dead skin" happening, but it may be because I wash regularly and this product comes in the middle of my routine.

4/5
Just because I don't like how dry my skin feels

Review: Tony Moly Dr. Tony AC Control Acne Cleansing Foam




I purchased samples of this because if I even forget a day of my skincare routine, my skin breaks out pretty bad, particularly on my chin. 

*.. DESCRIPTION ..*



*.. OVERALL IMPRESSION ..*

I typically wait a few weeks before I'm comfortable with reviewing a new product, however I've only used this for 10 days. I saw results immediately. As someone plagued with acne growing up, I learned that acne does not clear up right away. No matter how much you want it to, it doesn't clear up within a couple of days. However, this cleansing foam cleared up my trouble area the same day. I washed my face in the morning and by the time I went to do my night routine, I had no more blemishes. It's a light foam, but not as light as Wonder Pore. It does take a bit of effort to wash off completely if you're used to foams like Wonder Pore. There's not much of a smell. It smells lightly like hand soap. It works so well, I immediately purchased a full size. 

Pros

-Definitely takes care of problem spots
-Makes skin soft
-Cleanses pretty well

Cons

-I like scented products and this has none
-Takes longer than I'd like to rinse off
