Review: Belif Peat Miracle Revital Serum Concentrate

Alo people, I’m here today to review the second part of the set I got from Belif for being a BNTgirl.

The first part of the set was the cream, which you can read about here.

Today I’ll be reviewing the serum that came with it, Belif’s Peat Miracle Revital Serum. It contains Peat as its main ingredient as well, making it the peat set. (hehe I just think peat is such a fun word. Peat. Peat. Repeat.)

SAMSUNG CSC

The serum is suppose to help with cell turnover, dullness of the skin and is used as a preventative for wrinkles. Aka “revital”-izing your skin! What’s so amazing about peat itself you may ask? Well read below for some more information about Peat itself.

Peat Miracle Revital Serum Concentrate_3

It comes in a super cute bottle, like the cream it comes in a green-glassy container. Super cute. So visually it’s really pretty/cute off the bat.

The serum is released with a super cute dropper, it’s recommended 2-3 drops is more than enough for your face but I’ve been using 3 everyday just for good measure to get all of my face.

SAMSUNG CSC

Like the cream, it smells earthy/herbaly but still in a good way, the scent is a bit stronger in the serum than it is in the cream, probably because the serum is more concentrated. It still doesn’t smell bad, it just smells more earthy which I like more than vanillas/florals.

Overall I think this is an okay serum, I prefer to stick to my iSOi Bulgarian Rose Blemish Serum (reviewed here), because I tend to have small blemishes and I’m not truly worried about the dullness of my skin, yet.

But it’s quite pricey as serums are, you can buy it on amazon here for $53.

I’m giving this product a Doris 7.5/10.

This product was given to me to review as a BNTgirl but has a 100% my thoughts in it ❤

Review: MIGABEE Peppermint Pureberry Oil Soap

I love peppermint, it reminds me of good Canadian winters growing up. Hot chocolate? Put some peppermint in that. Mentos? Already is super pepperminty. Coca-Cola? Don’t put Mentos in that.

Peppermint is love, peppermint is life. And Christmas smells.

All that said, I was really excited to try Migabee’s Peppermint Pureberry Oil Soap. Because nothing is more refreshing and not made more awesome than peppermint.

SAMSUNG CSC

The product is a really catch all product, as it’s advertised to be a make up remover, shampoo and body wash. I’m ready to smell like peppermint head to toe. Mama needs.

So all you had to do is add some water and it immediately foams/lathers up.

It works marvelously and it smells like peppermint!

I also tried it as body wash, and now my body will smell like peppermint for weeks to come. I love this 3-in-1 product. It does everything however I won’t be giving up my shampoo for Migabee’s catch all because my hair has been colored it needs special shampoo.

SAMSUNG CSC

As a tester to see if it removes the toughest make up I put on;

  • Urban Decay’s Glide on Cheek Tint
  • Stila’s Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner
  • The Face Shop’s My lips Eat Cherry lip tint.

And to my surprise it removed it all!

SAMSUNG CSC

I find this product to be one of my favorites in the box, as it smells like peppermint and I can use it to do basically everything to do with washing.

It’s the perfect product for a 50% lazy girl like me to use sometimes on the hardest days, when I’m lazy.

You can find this Soap Oil for $29 here.

I’m giving this product a 9/10 on the Doris scale.

It’s a great peppermint product.

Review: Belif Peat Miracle Revital Cream

Bonjour toute le monde (Hello everyone!), I’m here today to review part of the set I got from Belif as a part of my BNTgirl box.

The set comes with a serum and a cream, I’ll be reviewing the cream first!

SAMSUNG CSCThe cream features two natural ingredients; Peat (for which is named after) and Rhodiola Root. Both of which help cell turnover or what I presume to be as to help my new skin cells appear on the surface of your skin. For a more youthful appearance. Wow very fresh skin!

Belif is also proud to be a more natural company as they don’t use a bunch of synthetic compounds.

Such as;

  • No mineral oil
  • no synthetic fragrances
  • no synthetic colors
  • no synthetic preservatives
  • no animal-derived ingredients

First thing you notice is the pretty green pot that holds the cream, second thing is the smell, it smells very earthy-herbal-y. It smells very earthly. Which isn’t a bad thing, it smells very natural unlike all the other floral-y/vanilla scented creams I have.

SAMSUNG CSC

Texture wise it’s a more solid cream. Meaning that if I try to push my finger down I’ll have resistance against it. Which is cool.

Since most Korean skin creams are all about the more liquidy types of creams Belif’s more solid creams are a nice change.

 

belifcream

The cream itself fairs very well against my skin. It spreads evenly and with a cool touch. It doesn’t leave the skin feeling too greasy nor too heavy, making it a great face cream in my book.

After using it I didn’t notice much a difference beside the hydration of my skin being kept up. But that’s probably because I might be younger than the demographic of the cream’s unique skin renewal.

You can find this cream here for $64.49, which makes it a more expensive cream.

I’m giving this product a 7/10 on the Doris scale, it’s a good product but I don’t know if I can justify a $65 face cream for a 20 y/o.

Review: Faith in Face Truly Waterly Cleansing Water

Hello everyone! I’m back again after my 1 month-ish hiatus, I’ve been traveling ( west coast, So Cal to be specific yayay!) Look forward to a brief video on my travels and snipbits of what my cali life was like in future posts.

But for now that I’m back and here to review one of the more awesome-er products that I got in my new BNTbeauty box!

SAMSUNG CSC

I’ll be reviewing Truly Waterly Cleansing Water by Faith in Face a Korean company that was established in 2009 and focuses on more natural beauty. A brand better known for their amazing facial masks!

Their pink and retro packaging immediately caught my eye because of their similarity to the UK brand, Soap and Glory. But what really impressed me wasn’t their cute packaging but the actual product itself.

It’s a toner AND a make up remover that claimed to even remove waterproof make up. As a lazy girl 50% of the time I love the idea of the 2-in-1 product and I was ready to put it to the test.

In the photos I’m wearing:

  • Stila’s – Stay All Day Waterproof liquid Eyeliner (personal favorite for all day stay with zero smudging)
  • The Balm’s – Nudetude palette for a soft brown smokey eye
  • Benefit’s – They’re Real! Mascara
  • Laura Mercier’s – Caviar Stick in Seashell

So for my test I’m wearing a pretty solid everyday eye look featuring one of the best if not the best waterproof, smudge-proof eyeliners I’ve ever used. Let the testing begin.

Needless to really say, I’m very VERY impressed with this product. SO PLEASED.

The 2-in-1 product removed all my eye make up without smudging, irritation, and without any effort. I’m a convert.

It has a light scent, very faint and is as the bottle says, watery. Perfect refreshing non-greasy after feel.

I used to regularly use Lancome’s Bi-Facil Eye Make Up Remover (4.2oz, $28) because I couldn’t use anything else to get rid of all my more stubborn make up but now Faith in Face’s Truly Waterly Cleansing Water has completely changed my daily cleansing routine.

It has made my routine faster (yay, 2-in-1 products!), and as a bonus, cheaper. Which is nice.

 

I’m giving this product a 10/10 on the Doris scale.

I wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone looking for a new cleanser.

You can find this magical product on Yesstyle for $17.90 (10.14oz).

YSL – baby doll KISS & BLUSH in Orange Fougueux (04)

Alo alo bonjour guys.Welcome back, I’ve been on a bit of a break, LIKE A THIRTEEN DAY BREAK SINCE MY LAST POST OMGGGG.

Yeah, I was a bit pooped out after just doing posts every other day so I decided to take a mini breather. Anywhoo I’m back now and soon, I’ll be doing another youtube tutorial, because I got a new camera to play with. GOTTA TEST THIS BABY OUT.

Anyways….

Today I’ll be excitedly reviewing YSL’s baby doll KISS&BLUSH lip/cheek stain. YAY ORANGE SUMMER COLORS and SUPER YAY TWO IN ONE MAKE UP ITEMS.
SAMSUNG CSC
side2

As you can see it’s a cute super cute orange shade perfect for summer.

P1170240

It features a doe tipped brush making it easy to apply overall, as the tip is great for outlining/fine details and the fatter part of the brush it perfect for fast applying.

Unlike some cheek and lip products which are only good for one or the other, I can proudly say I love using this on my cheeks too! Although it took 2-3 tries my first time, I got used to applying the “right” amount giving myself a great cheek glow. I’ll do a quick and easy tutorial soon (on blushes in general)!

side

Oh baby, that moment when you apply just the right amount of blush and on the right area of the cheek. MY CHEEKS LOOK SUPER CONTOURED WITHOUT CONTOURING YEAAAAA!

MY EYELINER IS SO THIN YEAAAAA! Yeah, sorry guys I’m only this excited because you’re the only ones who will see this, I didn’t go out that day when my make up was almost perfect.

PROS:

  • beautiful color
  • easy to apply
  • smells good (peachy scent)

CONS:

  • does not last all day (bummers, but I keep it in my bag!)
  • really easy to apply too much to the cheeks (I suggest using natural lighting, DONT PUT THIS ON IN A DARK ROOM)
  • it’s $40 (but if it makes you feel better it’s a LIP and CHEEK product! *chants * 2-in-1!)

Overall I’d give this product a 9.5/10. I really wanted a orange lip/cheek color this summer and this satisfies me so much. SO MUCH. I’m going to buy a few more shades.

I’ll see you guys soon, thanks for reading. ❤

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) WP_20140627_008   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)! Screenshot 2014-06-28 23.01.02 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! P1160844 P1160848 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: JoanneKineCarinaBella. bntgirls badge  

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. P1160830 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:

  1. Wet face.
  2. Put a small amount onto fingers.
  3. Massage into skin and watch it foam. (optional: leave it on for 20 minutes for extra hydration)
  4. 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.   P1160881 P1160886 P1160895 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! P1160905   So on the label it says the mask effect is to “intensively hydrate dry skin leaving bright and youthful skin.” And boy does it. maskgif So so so pleased with this mask. That satisfying peeling sensation. P1160925 P1160932   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?!).

P1160824

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

P1160826

 

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.

P1160804

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.

P1160785

 

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 – Leader’s Bio-Medi-curing Wrinkle Dressing Mask

Hello pretty gals/guys, I’m back again, and with another mask review! Last time I reviewed a mask of the same brand/line and this time I’m reviewing their “Wrinkle Dressing” version, which I assumed would help with my fine lines/future wrinkles. On the packaging it says it helps with;

  •  wrinkles
  • dry skin
  • elasticity decline
  • nutrient lack (or therefore lack of?)

DSC_01112DSC_0113So like it’s predecessor it has that same weird smell that I again adjusted to eventually as I put on the mask for 25 minutes. But other than the weird smell I have no real problems with the mask. It’s the same consistent gel like material which makes me believe it’s a higher end mask, and that’s nice. DSC_0116   Ta-da! After 25 minutes I think my face looks more radiant/dewy! So that’s nice, although I don’t see much of a visual difference with the wrinkles/nutrients I do feel that my skin was more moisturized/bouncy (elasticity?!)! Solid 2/4 effects felt.

I really like how the mask makes my skin look so fresh but compared to the one before it, the other one made my skin much more dazzling. So the “wrinkle dressing” mask I give it a 6.8/10.

You can buy it here for $4.49
