[REVIEW] MIZON - Intensive Firming Solution Collagen Power Firming Eye Cream

As someone who rubs their eyes heaps and hardly takes care of her skin around the eyes. One day, when I noticed fine lines under my eyes reality hit me. They were semi-deep and certainly visible. I panicked and came across a YouTube video about the importance of eye creams in searching of a remedy. 

The under eye wrinkles were the result of late night studying and online surfing combined with the roughness and lack of moisture I provide my eye area with.

And, yes even if you're as young as 16 it is recommended that you keep your under eyes hydrated and moisturised to prevent aging and wrinkles later. 

The packing looks really exquisite with the purple box and soft leaf prints. The 25ml container that holds the product itself, is shiny feeling almost like a heavy glass (so probably not the best for travelling or carrying around).

The colour of the product is a light milky white with a tint of yellow however when applied on, it is completely clear and translucent.  The gel-like cream has no scent and absorbs quite quickly after a few taps on the area. This cream also contains natural ingredients including; adenosine, argan oil and hyaluronic acid. It is also free of alcohol, fragrance, paraben and colours so it's suitable for all skin types and sensitive skin.  

Although it has done its job and moisturised my under eyes. My fine lines have not completely faded away as the product is not "intensive" as it says. I wouldn't advise those with already deep fine lines or of older age to use this product as it will not do the job.
 I would still buy this again, as regular use of the product does provide satisfying results of healthy,moisturised and firm skin. 


This is a good product worthy of  
Scent:No scent
Packaging:High end looking and heavy glass like material
Would buy again? Yes.
Recommended for: Those who are looking to moisturise and keep their skin around their eyes well maintained to prevent future wrinkles.

[REVIEW] Etude House - Precious Mineral Any Cushion Magic Mint


 Hi! Today I'm reviewing the Etude House's Precious Mineral Any Cushion Magic Mint. I know, what a long name but that's what Etude House is popular for. 

Just if you didn't know, Etude House is widely known as a popular cosmetic brand from Korea which is loved worldwide. It is cherished for its cute and girly designs and affordable products. Of course, I couldn't help myself but try this new product myself. I first knew about it when CutiePieMarzia mentioned that she got it on her trip to Japan. With her many praises and love for it, I decided to try it out.

This product is basically a primer for redness in the skin from either imbalance of skin tone or acne. It calms down the redness in your skin with a cool application of the creme-like liquid and masks it with a white cast. 


The white cast on your skin can seem very weird at first but it will disappear the moment you apply your daily makeup. I use bb creams and it is completely fine for me but if you want to make sure; this product would be best for those with fair or pale skin but it DOES work for all skin tones! For those with a lot of redness, you can apply extra layers and it should cover quite well. 


When I bought this on ebay, I actually accidentally bought the refill which is the just the plain white container with the pink sponge however it was cheaper. If you buy the entire package with the mint green casing like shown in the picture above, you also get an extra refill in the box. It's up to you which you buy but it's good knowing you can always buy refills when you're finished.


The scent is really pleasant and smells like freshly cut apples, true to its mint green colour. I absolutely love applying it onto my face as it smells delicious! The packaging as you see is adorable and also a reasonable size for easy carriage and transportation.    


I would definitely buy this again, as the result leaves me with soft and supple skin ready for makeup. On really good skin days, I can imagine leaving the house with only this on (but my skin is horrendous at the moment so that's the funniest idea for me, that is).




This is a wonderful product worthy of  
Scent:Freshly cut apples
Packaging:Adorable and compact
Would buy again? Yes!
Recommended for: Those with redness and uneven skin tone
