Cure Aqua Natural Aqua Gel Review

Hey guys,happy Thursday!
So today I'm going to review peeling (scrub) product from Japan! *drumrolls*
If you follow my post,you'll notice that now I have terribly dry skin on my cheeks,and between my brows.sometimes on my nose too since I used Etude House AC Clinic Trial (review
here and second thought here )
And it affects my look especially when I'm using makeup (BB Cream) because it tends to show up the dry patches. YUKK!
I'm looking for a peeling product but not doctors' peeling treatment!! No No No! It peels off all your skin with harsh chemical stuffs and makes your skin very sensitive and cooked red crab!
I've been eye-ing Dr.ChukChuk peeling since I saw lots of great reviews and I'm about to purchase it since it's on 1+1 promo! (body peeling+face peeling) . But.... why I ended up with this?
Okay,here's the story.
I'm in the middle of blog surfing and found a blog (thankful) that mention about this cheating (Dr.ChukChuk) product. She said that the body peeling is wonderful,and when she purchased the face peeling and about to try it,she noticed that there's fibers in the liquid and with just 1 swipe all the white thingy that we thought the dead skin appears but it's actually comes from the fibers! I was like WTH? On that moment I canceled my initiation to purchase it. And immediately search for Cure Natural Aqua Gel product when she said it's her favorite peeling product (but of course I blog surfing again for this product reviews)
There's a lot of seller but most of them are pricey,and cheap ones out of stock.Searching and waiting for months!And finally this baby arrived to my house!!
Excited to try it and up til now this is the product I've been using whenever my skin peels off and I need to put on makeup.


1. Cure Natural Aqua Gel!



















2. The back full of English descriptions. Hello English!
(even though I'm in Japanese literature major,but I'm quite a newbie and not pro enough to read these kind of descriptions /slap ) . Click the image to zoom! Many of goodness in the ingredients list. It really does as it promises to be very gentle and pure. No wonder this is a top hit!













3. Code bar










4. Comes in a pump,and there's this thing to prevent it from accidentally pressing the pump. Good job!



















5. Pluck out
6.It has semi liquid texture. Liquid to watery and runny! Transparent.
Sorry for the bad flash
7. So I put it on my hand and rub it but there's barely any dead skin so I re-apply on my wrist and rub it. Can you see those white thingy over there? I swatch this after I took a bath so I won't mistaken the dead skin is my skin's dirt LOL
















So this is kinda a quick savior on my dry day. Even though I'm too lazy to reapply again and again until my face's perfectly clean from dry patches and sometimes my skin's dried up but not yet ready to peel off (if you know what I mean). Stubborn skin!
I'm quite sensitive and my face's easily turns red when it's get in touch with harsh products,so this product doesn't cause any redness!The redness comes from my rubbing hand even though I rub it gently -_-

You can use this for body too! Even in the most sensitive area !



My mom was shocked and complaining when I told her about this amazing peeling product. She thought it's a kind of doctors' peeling. She's quite out to dated :/
Tried to explain to her but she won't understand until she curiously tried it.I asked her opinion and she said it was so-so (trying to keep those images) LOL

How to use:
1. Cleanse properly the area that you want to peel and towel dry
2. Pump some on your fingers and rub gently the area that you want to 'peel'
3. When the liquid starts to run out (dry),pump some more and rub again until there's no white thingy anythingy thingy left
4. Wash it off. You don't need to use any soap/cleanser to cleanse it.Just water. It's suggested that you use sanitized water like for drinking water to cleanse your face since the water is pure from harmful stuffs that can 'contaminate' our 'new' skin
5. Towel dry then you can continue with your skincare and makeup routine

So.here's my conclusion!

PROS
1.Natural almost like water! Say hello for sensitive skin savior!
2.Doesn't cause any redness (it's natural hey!) ,redness only comes from rubbing hand -_-
3.Can be use for body and sensitive areas!
4.Brightening (of course your skin gets brighter with new skin!)
5. The peeling power is awesome!Do mind you must use it more than one if you have a lot of dead skin. All peeling products are the same

CONS
1.Pricey
2.Hard to find it here (Indonesia)

RATINGS


4,5 out of 5stars (that heart means half LOL )

Will I repurchase?
Sure! If I don't find anything better than this.

So,have you ever tried this product?What is your favorite peeling product?

Etude House Happy Cleansing Foam - Vitamin C Review

Hey guys! Today I'll review about my favorite cleanser so far.


So,I've been looking for good cleanser that don't irritates,making tight sensation,drying out my skin . And interested with the name when I saw it on my pricelist (I own onlineshops) and search for reviews and man there're tons of great reviews!Immediately purchased 2 ,in Collagen and in Vitamin C.
At first I want to use both,Vitamin C at morning,Collagen at night.But as usual,got lazy before I even start it! Ended up using only one Vitamin C!
1. The bright lemon color! Sorry for the bad flashy lighting and almost used up tube LOL
Honestly it really brighten my bathroom with the color. Just make me happy to see it like the name, Happy Cleansing Foam!


2.The ingredients list

3.It comes in flip cap
4. Let's see how well it works for cleansing make up.
Sorry for the bad rotation. It should be left,middle,right, but now I'll change it into top,middle,bottom LOL
a. Top : Concealer (Forgot the brand,I don't check it /slap )
b. Middle : Artistry Foundation
c. Bottom : Etude House Dear Girls BB Cream (you can see the review here
d. Right: Happy Cleansing Foam. It's quite thick and creamy,but easy to lather. A little goes along the way

I only use BB cream for everyday makeup. I just put this on on my hand to see the cleanser effectiveness
5. Completely blended the foundation and BB cream
6. Spread and rub the cleanser across the makeup. See the color turns yellowish-brownish?
7.Washed and dried with a towel. You can see there's still some sheer foundation and BB cream, and quite visible concealer. Sorry you can see it clearly since the flash lighting
8. Tried to re-wash it with the cleanser. Less yellowish .
9.There's still concealer left even though it quite sheer now. Honestly it almost invisible for me too,and I tried to check it with toner swipe

10.TARA! You can see there's concealer's dirt on the cotton pad.
So,it's still not completely clean














So,as you can see the cleansing power is not really effective. If you want more effective cleanser you can find other cleanser,I'm sure they will cleanse better,since this cleanser doesn't contain 'harsh' ingredients. After cleansing I don't experience tight feeling so it's good. But at some point it bores me since I don't feel that fresh cool feeling. I've been using this for months after I ran out of my Etude AC Clinic Cleanser (you can see the review here and the second thought here) and after I used Garnier cleanser while I'm waiting for this baby to come (you can see the review here) and it last until now! WOW
It's really cheap if I'm not mistaken around IDR70 or so.
There's five types of the cleanser:

Lil bit short funny story: My mom tried it and love it instantly that she forgot to use her Garnier (accidentally bought)  cleanser.She even brought this cleanser when she's out and I'm so pissed (my dad often works out from Indonesia,and when get back to hometown for business,sometimes he choose to stay at hotel so my mom go there,she always ask me to join but I'm too lazy) so when she's back to take care of the house before go back to the hotel I asked her to switch the cleanser (gave her Garnier!). How bad I am LOL /slap

So,here's the conclusion!

PROS:
1. Moisturizing (not drying)
2. No tight feeling
3. A little goes along the way
4. Suitable for all skin type even for sensitive/hypoallergenic type
5. Cheap!

CONS:
1. Not cleanse really well
2. There's barely any fresh cool feeling after cleansing

RATINGS:



4 out of 5 stars!

Will I Repurchase?
Maybe, but I really want to try other cleansers! Kinda like cleanser junkie LOL .

Anyhow how great is the cleanser it's better to use cleansing butter/water/milk/oil/etc to cleanse your makeup properly before cleansing it with your cleanser , even though I don't own one LOL /slap
Oh yeah,I own 1,in sample size,from LOLA Box (you can read the review here)
It's quite difficult to look for great cleansing (makeup cleanser) that suits for sensitive skin like me *cries*

So,what about you?Any comment?Suggestion?what is your favorite cleanser?

LOLA BOX JANUARY

Ola~
Happy Sat-night!


So,now I'm gonna post about my FIRST LOLA BOX!
I've heard a lot of good reviews about how satisfying their boxes! And I'm sold and subscribe it for 6months!
Unfortunately what makes me a little bit disappointed is their system where you need to wait for your waiting number and you must pay for the box immediately when your line is up or you lost your chance and need to wait again . (I'm not everyday one way to the ATM you know -3- ))
And what disappointed me next is when I finally got the line and I when I saw my order history,I haven't subscribe any box! That's just crazy! And when I tried to re-subscribe it the option for 6months subscription is gone!!!


I mailed them and they said if they've disabled for 6months subscription,and the options left are 1month and 3months subscription. SUCK!

Anywhooo after waiting and waiting and waiting... (PHEW!) the box has arrived almost a week ago and I'm quite lazy to online and it's exam week.
Curiously tried to open and I heard from the shaken box , my guessing: IT'S TOOOO LIGHTWEIGHT! MUST BE FEW ITEMS ONLY
Not feeling so excited to open the box anymore !

 1. The outer box
 2.The box. Looks something like doughnut box LOL. Soon after I realized they put sweet fragrance on the box
 






3.Let's open the box! Found a card,an envelope,and pink ribbon wrapping the paper wrap!











4. The warm greetings (I don't read it though LOL /slap)











5. Inside the envelope. Curiously open what's inside and found out it contains brochures -_-
2 brochures of IASO BB Cream and Cleanser. So my guess is these items are inside my box.
The envelope has sweet fragrance too!




6.Inside the box.
Only few items! *cries* But hopefully each items worth it!










7.You can see there're only 6 items. And my guessing is 50% wrong about the brochures I got before. I will only get 1 of 2 options on the brochures.

8. Tarang! first item is IASO Triple Protection BB Cream! Thank goodness it's not a cleanser coz I got cleansers on my home more than enough! (Gimme a break! LOL)
It's a korean product. Never heard about this brand , and really curious to try it ! And I love it comes in sample size , not sachets!!!
Hopefully it doesn't contain ingredients that I'm aware of since it's in sample size,there's no descriptions of the ingredients,and all the main descriptions about the product is in Hangul D;
Will try it soon!

9.Laneige Be Waterful. The packing comes like a wallet , there's a slip on the side to 'lock' it . I'm excited to receive this since I heard lots of good reviews about this brand and I heard this water series is one of their best selling products!








10. I open the 'wallet' and my guessing is right it comes in sachets. Good thing is it comes in 2 different products of the same line,so I can try more different things.
Water Bank Gel Cream and Sleeping Pack. Actually I hope the bigger sachet is the cream one since it's pricier in full size LOL






11. The descriptions on the back . Thank God it's in English!!
Unfortunately there's no ingredients list on it :(
Hopefully it doesn't contain ingredients that I'm aware of since most of high end products contain those harmful stuffs! Wonder why the less cheaper and affordable products are safer than high end products :/





12. Bioderma Sensibio H2O. What a coincidence! I picked this on my Vanity Trove Box so I'll get double of this when I receive my Vanity Trove Box . If I know I'll get this on my LOLA Box , I wouldn't choose this on my Vanity Trove Box since I have one item that I want but the slots were full.
But just the next day after I received my Lola Box, I got a reply on my mail since my box hasn't come even though I have paid for a long time. They told me because the flood in Jakarta, the delivery systems are on delay. I can accept that. But what makes me upset was the information that all of my products that I chose (only one left) were sold out! And they're changing it with perfumes stuffs. You know how I hate perfumes!!! I'm so upset, and replied them (in good words) I asked them if whether I can change my order by myself but there's no reply until now! Freaking annoying! They always reply the latest 2days after the mailing time but it has been a week and more!! What a lame service! Don't take the flood as an excuse for not working/servicing customers! You can mail through your phone! ARGH!!!!



13. Okay,so back to the topic, Here's the back of the product and lucky! Ingredients list! And it's really safe! Actually I need a makeup remover too and searching for a good one for my sensitive skin. The turn down for this sample is it's hard to lock it up for another use after opening it
14. Next is local product. A body lotion from Wangsa Jelita. I'm not a fond of body lotion. I'm too lazy to use it. I got my Face Shop Whitening Lotion and only use it a couple times then I got lazy. :v









15. It's said paraben free! Thank God! But hopefully there's no mercury on it *pray"
There're their contact info, I guess they're quite new brand and still small so they're promoting their brand until giving them phone number,bb pin,etc.








16. Descriptions of the product. Sorry some got closed by the card. Tried to move it aside but that's the max side










17. Quite cute card.
Actually I'm not sure if I want to use it/not. If I don't I think I'm throwing it away for my giveaway














18. Cottage body wash.
A body wash from European brand I guess? The smell is quite good when I tried to sniff it. But I'm quite lazy too to use this kind of stuffs

19. Ingredients list etc
20. Last but not least, La Perla perfume. URGH! Such a waste if I don't use it. I talked to my mom that if she wants to try it just take it. LOL













21. Dual languages descriptions















So, what do you think? Sorry for the pictures spam!
My list that I like : Bioderma,IASO,and Laneige
My list that I dislike/so-so: Wangsa Jelita,Cottage,La Perla

So 50-50 huh?
Well, I'll post the reviews after I try them and waiting for the next box since I chose 3months subscriptions.
I think it worth the money. Hopefully the next box is better!
So,what do you think?
