Happy July 4th everyone! MURICA MURICA MURICA! How are you guys spending your Friday? I’ll be in Philadelphia city of freedom/ brotherhood.
Today I’ll be reviewing Helen Park Jalousian Anti wrinkle cream! It comes in a cute circle container and it’s lightly fragranced inside. It has the consistency of a lighter cream so it’s more easily absorbed into the skin. Apparently it’s quite a popular Korean for older women, hence the anti wrinkle cream. But I lack wrinkles at this young age of 20 so I can’t really tell you about its effectiveness on wrinkly skin. But perhaps it can be used to prevent wrinkles too. Who knows?! Even without the anti wrinkle, I find this cream to be a nice cream. It’s really nice and light so it’s perfect for the summer when I don’t feel like putting anything heavy onto my face!
Overall I rate this product a 7/10. I wouldn’t necessarily buy it for myself but maybe give it to my mother, which I did after I trialed this product on my face. This product was given to me to review as a BNTgirl but has a 100% my thoughts in it ❤ Check out the other BNT Girls: Joanne, Kine, Carina, Bella.

My skin care routine plus some tips (◕w◕ア
Alrighty so I’m just going to do a mini post on my skin care routine/ my skin care tips because I’ve been recently doing a lot of skin care posts. I figured I might as well show my readers what I do usually on a every day basis (minus the mask, I do that once a week or before a special occasion SUCH AS A DATE IF I HAD ONE.)
- Eyes – Lancome Bi-Facial Eye Make up Remover (everyday when I wear mascara)
- Makeup – Biore daily deep pore cleansing wipes (extra bonus: FOR DEM PORES, everyday if I wear make up)
- Scrub – MBD Egg White Gommage peeling (2-3 time a week)
- Mask – Leaders Aquaringer Skin Clinic Mask (once a week)
- Serum – iSOi – Bulgarian Rose Blemish Serum (morning and night)
- Cream – BRTC Aqua Rush Cream (morning and night)
- Diet – EAT HEALTHY FOR BETTER SKIN (every moment of your life)
- SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP (try to get 8, I try for 10 hours in the summer #yolo)
I find that for the easiest removal of the toughest make up i.e eyeliner/mascara is easiest with a dual liquid type eye make up remover (meaning that when it’s undisturbed you’ll see two layers of liquids in the container) it removes eye make up gently and without any harshness. The reason why I don’t just use my make up wipe to do my entire face is because it never gets ALL of my eye make up off and the skin around the eyes are more sensitive.
For scrubs and masks, I wouldn’t say they’re absolutely vital to a skin care routine but you know they’re nice to have on the side. Sort of like fries, fries are always nice to have on the side. JK I NEED FRIES. Scrubs/masks are a added bonus, think “treat yo self” and I think it’s pretty much like a spa day in your own home.
Serums are also a treat yo self skin every day kind of thing. So also nice to have but not really a necessity unless you have a skin care problem which is treated by a serum.
Creams are vital. How vital you may ask, well they’re like how much I need ice cream in the summer. Constant cravings. Creams help me fight against my constant random dry patches and let me go through the day/night knowing my skin is kept moisturized!
Though to be real, I’d put an emphasis on the last two mostly, a healthy diet and sleep can do wonders on your skin. I know personally when I’m back in the student grind I lose my shiny egg white like skin because of a diet of apple crisps + fries and like 3-5 hours of sleep. But you know if you don’t have good skin, you can always fake it with concealer or take extra care of your skin with eye creams, and creams in general. Heavy usage on conceal if necessary.
When I’m really lazy all I need is some concealer under the egg bags and then some brows and my go to “whatever” look is complete. tl;dr eyemake up remover + cream + sleep + food = awesome skin everything to me seems like a extra bonus Thanks for reading, see you guys again soon! YSL baby doll kiss + blush first impressions soon! ❤
Review – BRTC AQUA RUSH CREAM
Bonjour, alo! I’m back!!! And today I’ll be reviewing my actual cream favorite from my BNT box of goodies; BRTC AQUA RUSH CREAM! (yayay)
Sorry for the relatively poor quality photo (I’m testing out the lumia 920 I got from windows, yay). The cream is suppose to be a part of a line of skin care products of it’s name/brand. BRTC’s more popular product from the series is it’s BB cream and understandably why (hint: it’s cream is amazing itself)!
So I was pretty excited when I first saw this, it’s a solid glass container and it feels like quality stuff, not any of that plastic bs. It has a light perfumed cream scent (akin to any face moisturizer, think olay or sauve) anddddd a incredibly soothing texture. It’s a moisture cream that works AMAZINGLY against my combination skin. I HAD some dry patches of skin and this just worked some voodoo magic on my skin because after 2 days my dry skin was no more! Unfortunately I still have to worry about my oily skin. But since it’s summer, my skin has been both oily (from the sweat and stuff) and dry because of the AC. I apply it every morning and night, in the morning I apply it before my BB cream/normal everyday make up. At night I apply it after washing my face and right before bed. MOISTURIZEEEEEE!
I’ll give this product a 9.5/10. I’ll be using this religiously till it runs out and then I’ll have to start pondering about purchasing it! But it’s quite a expensive cream you can purchase it here for $35 CAD or here for $45 USD This product was given to me to review as a BNTgirl but has a 100% my thoughts in it ❤ Check out the other BNT Girls: Joanne, Kine, Carina, Bella.
Review – My Beauty Diary Egg White Gommage Peeling Mask
Three words, MY BEAUTY DIARY! I’m pretty excited because this is my first MBD product ever! I’ve heard their masks are amazing, so I’ll be reviewing their wash/scrub mask! It was even featured on “Get it Beauty” which basically features the best of Korean (it’s Taiwanese ) products.
Since this isn’t really a mask or a peel off facial item the whole process was a bit confusing at first (especially since all the Korean sites would be in Korean), so I’m going to write a clear step by step of how to use this. It’s more of a facial scrub which you would usually use 2-3 times a week, before this I used Suki’s exfoliate foaming cleanser which is really similar to this product except suki’s base is a sugar scrub. So treat it as such. Steps:
- Wet face.
- Put a small amount onto fingers.
- Massage into skin and watch it foam. (optional: leave it on for 20 minutes for extra hydration)
- Wash face and feel fresh.
As you massage it into your skin it softens up and it becomes a nice fluffy scrub. It’ll definitely scrub away your dead skin cells and leave your skin hydrated as promised.
So as you can see, I definitely felt fresh after. Smoooooooooooooth and soft skin.
Even G.NA recommends it, for more information on that you can check BNT’s own post on it here.
It’s a nice scrub so I’m going to give it a 8/10.
You can purchase it here for $27 which is about the same price as I usually pay for my facial scrubs here in the US, so if you want to try a pretty good scrub that’s Korean I suggest you trust G.NA- wait and me too a bit. ❤

Review – LEADERS Aquaringer skin clinic mask
Bonjour! Comment ça va guyz (how are you doing?) I’m back today with another awesome mask from leaders! And after all the HQ masks I quite like this one since the smell is much lessened and this one and it immediately calmed my red zones (and my one pimple) and made my skin all beautiful and stuff in only 20 minutes!
So on the label it says the mask effect is to “intensively hydrate dry skin leaving bright and youthful skin.” And boy does it.
So so so pleased with this mask. That satisfying peeling sensation.
As you can see my skin looks pretty great, my pimple was much more red before, yes that pimple on my forehead. While it’s still there it’s not as noticeable so yay! So if you’re into the dewy fresh skin, give this a try!
I give this mask my full blessing a 10/10. I would definitely recommend this to all my friends (IF I HAD ANY NEAR ME).
Anyways you can buy this here for $5 for 2 masks or here for $23 for a box (10 masks). So it’s about $2.3/mask which is a pretty great value as I usually buy masks for around the same price without the same effects.

Review – DAYCELL Dr. Vita VITA C
Ahhh summer, nothing better than going outside and getting that vitamin D from sunlight (amiright? amiright?!).
Apparently not, next level is actually infusing vitamins into your skin for a even brighter complexion!
I’ll be reviewing DAYCELL Dr. Vita VITA C (vitamin C) cream today.
It’s suppose to;
- Melanin control,Whitening care
- Anti-Aging
- Vitamin&mineral have dark skin bright
- Pure Vitamin C 10% Cream Basis
So that’s what the cream looks like. According to the directions, I’m suppose to use it after my daily face routine (moisturizer, toner & etc). When I didn’t do those steps beforehand I’d break out a bit (near the apples of my cheek which were weird because I never break out there).
But after I did do my usual routine before the cream I noticed that my skin was more “brightened” and radiant.
Here’s my face after all my usual face routine (serum and moisturizer) and afterwards the DAYCELL Dr. Vita C.
Though it’s a minimal brightening effect it’s nice.
That’s me after all my make up, I think the cream has given my cheeks a lifting brightening effect.
So overall I think it’s a nice citrus-y scent cream, but to spend $26 on it? Mehhh.
So I’ll give this a 6.5/10 it’s a cool gimmicky product (I think for older skins probably). But if you want a Vitamin C booster cream that’s relatively cheaper than it’s competitors such as Perricone MD’s Vitamin C Ester 15 $120 I’d say to give it a shot!

Review – Sorabee Balancing Aqua Cream
Welcome back!
So today I’ll be reviewing Sorabee’s Balancing Aqua Cream, which is one of the products I received from BNTnews as a BNTgirl!
It’s one of my favorite creams out of the batch I got of them. For a special reason….and that it turns from a gel like cream into a liquid (as shown below)!
AHHHH it’s pretty much the coolest cream I have now, and I’m so in love with it. It contains collagen from sea stars apparently! I don’t really know how it would help hydrate/fade out scars but I loooooove the consistency.
Sorabee’s cream is suppose to brighten, hydrate and be a anti wrinkle product.
It’s absolutely wonderful and it smells like a lightly scented perfume, it’s not harsh on the nose at all and I can rub it all over my face without worries.
So to break it down;
Pros:
- it smells good
- it turns into magic liquid
Cons:
- I have no idea where to repurchase it, a seller doesn’t show up in the first 2 pages of a google search (basically INVISIBLEEEEE)
- doesn’t really feel like a great moisturizer as alcohol is listed as an ingredient
I’d rate this as a 6.8/10 as I love the liquid magic it does but I’m not so sure about it’s hydrating nor anti-wrinkle effects.
——————————————————————–
If you haven’t noticed I changed the blog’s theme and also added a side menu button
<-
In it I made a “About Me” page and quicker access if you want to see make up or food! I’ll further narrow it down in a bit.
Evidently I have nothing better to do since all my bffs have ditched meeeee, so I’ll be productive with my blog.
I know I’ve been lacking in the make up tutorials lately so I’ll have one coming up soonnnnn and maybe a hair tutorial along with it!

Review – iSOi Bulgarian Rose Blemish Serum
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epA_GW09vV8
Hello again guys,
Well that was quick! I’m back again— for another review! I’ll hopefully post a make up tutorial soon!
Today I’ll be reviewing iSOi’s (I’m SO intelligent) Bulgarian Rose Blemish Serum!
According to the website :
It seems like quite a luxury product at first glance, it has a study clearish pink glass container with a pump no less! And at a retail price of $50 on ebay and other Korean website sellers it seems like quite a higher end serum. But according to it’s website it’s iSOi’s best selling product with over half a million sold! I think that’s quite impressive especially since it’s a bit more costly.
Now how I feel about it, it has a nice pleasant smell (think roses and a bouquet of flowers but softer and more subtle) it has a great cooling sensation on the skin. And I think it actually may work! I’ve been applying it almost every other day for about a month, and especially on my problem areas (such as any pimples or red areas or places with pores). And I’ve been noticing my pimples disappearing more quickly and a more even skin tone (super yay!).
I just pump a little bit and spread it evenly on my face, and then a cream afterwards! And that’s basically my night skin routine. Plain and simple.
Now how I feel about it. I actually fairly like this product, but like it enough to spend $50 on it? Ehh, maybe.
I’ll give this product a solid 8/10.

Review: 3 Concept Eyes – I’m good mascara
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZtqOsYzBqU
Hello Lovelies,
So as promised here is my review for the 3CE I’m good mascara. Prepare yourselves for gifs, much gifs. I had so much fun editing the video that I took some highlighted parts and made gifs, so prepare yourselves for the future. My overall impressions of the mascara itself is LOVE LOVE LOVE. It doesn’t have a weird perfumed scent (yay!) and it does what it’s advertised to do-kind of. It’s suppose to be a “doll” like mascara but I don’t find myself looking extra dolly-ish after it. HOWEVER I do find I love it’s non smudgy-ness, oil control and waterproof-ness. It’s absolutely wonderful, I’m a pretty active girl because I’ve been trying to lose weight or I’m constantly on the go and I don’t like worrying about my mascara smudging onto the bottom of my eyes making me a panda (like my favorite Benefit I’m real! mascara). I’ve tested it out on various occasions. So here we go let’s start out with my after a 10 mile bike ride:
No smudging at all even after a light workout! That’s impressive, I usually avoid make up when I’m doing any exercise because I hate it when my eyeliner or mascara would smudge, but with this mascara I don’t even have to worry about it and continue on with my day. Even more impressive is the next photo where I went to LA Fitness and basically went in the hot tub AND sauna for 30 minutes.
No smudging. At. All. So basically if you’re a active girl or a girl on the go I would definitely recommend this to you. Sorry about my stray eyebrow hairs, trying to grow out my eye brows to reshape them. :> But yea these next photos are basically just a whole day (13 hours) progression of my lashes and how the mascara kept them curled all day long.
So to break it down. Pros:
- lasts a long time (forever)
- can exercise with it
- can withstand water
- basically a magic mascara for the summer
- doesn’t smell weird
Cons:
- doesn’t really volumize my lashes
- doesn’t make them dolly?
Overall verdict I give this mascara a 9.5/10. You can buy this mascara on stylenanda for $22. Thanks for reading! This review was part of my BNTgirls review line. Other BNT Girls: Joanne, Kine, Carina, Bella. 
BNTgirls x Leaders “AQUA DRESSING” mask Review
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSwi0YCA6Rw
Hello my beautiful readers!
*edit* OMG it’s my 100th post! ೕ(Ò⺫ Ó )೨
I’m starting a new section of my blog called Ice Cream Time reviews, all videos that show that will basically mean I got the reviewed items free from BNTnews international but like all my other blogs they will be 100% my POV (point of view).
Okay, so let’s start.
I’m going to review Leader’s AQUA DRESSING MASK.
It’s supposed to help with;
- dry skin
- deadskin cells
- rough skin
- sensitive skin
So yeah that’s just what I looked like with the mask on. Huehuehuehuehue…
So I’m just going to go ahead and say it smells weird, like really weird, not a truly bad or good weird…just weird my nose just adjusted to it’s weird scent after a while so I didn’t notice the smell as much later on. But….It was truly weird. Other than that the mask was fantastic it gave me a nice glowly-dewy skin afterwards….TADA (pics below)
And the day after I ate at a restaurant named “Corks Restaurant” at Niagara-On-The-Lake. Basically wine country and my face looked radiant all day and I only had bb cream on my face, no concealer or foundation! (✿◠‿◠)
So overall I think the weird scented mask was well worth the 20-25 minutes it was on my face because it made my skin look soooooooooooo dewyyyyyyy I should’ve taken more selfies that day. But I can’t wait to review all the masks that were given to me! I’m sure it helped with my dry skin, but since I don’t have rough skin and I’ve been using My Beauty Diary Egg White Gommage Face Mask (review soon) I don’t have much dead skin cells. So overall I’d rate this a 8/10 only because of the weird scent. But I loved the gummy texture of the face mask itself and the fact that it made my skin look oh so wonderful.
Solid 8/10 for this mask for me.
