My Honest Skin Mini Haul

I think everyone who knows about Memebox and does not live in the US, Korea and China got very upset when they, Memebox, announced that they will no longer cater/ship to our respective countries. It's a sad moment but life has to go on and we have to find somewhere else to get our KBeauty fix. I found the Honest Skin website mainly because I was looking for the Elizavecca Milky Piggy Carbonated Clay Mask that everyone has been talking about. I was lucky enough to have been able to buy it on a discounted price and reasonable shipping fees. Back to my mini haul...

ELIZAVECCA Milky Piggy Carbonated Clay Mask 100g

This is a creamy clay mask that bubbles up a few minutes after application. The bubbles clean and unclogs the pores while the clay clarifies, tightens and tones the skin. It also dries out blemishes and helps prevent  pore congestion. This is more suitable for someone who has combination to oily skin. 

TIP: Apply the mask fast as it will start to bubble up in a few minutes. Make sure you avoid the eye area and wait for the fun to begin. You will feel some tingly sensation whilst the mask is bubbling away. After 5 minutes, rinse the mask with lukewarm water. Make sure you massage your face while washing and just do your normal skin care routine afterwards.

TONYMOLY Aqua Aura UV Moist Cushion SPF50+ PA+++

I finally caved in and bought a cushion just to see why everyone wants a cushion. Turns out that cushions provides cleaner application to give you that smooth, dewy soft glow. This Tonymoly cushion provides long-lasting UVA and UVB protection to help fight premature aging and wrinkles. The main ingredient for this product includes Alaska glacier water, Aloe Vera, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Chamomile Extract and Elder Flower Extract. 

TIP: Apply after your normal skin care routine. Use the puff and dab on themoist pad lightly - the puff soaks up a lot, then tap away. Concentrate on one area at a time and blend away for a smooth 
silky finish. 

 

NATURE REPUBLIC Original Power Hydro Ampoule 

I wanted to add ampoule to my routine but I found that they are too expensive so when I found one at a reasonable price, I had to get one and try it. This moisturising ampoule contains hyaluronic acid that supplies moisture to the skin. 

TIP: This ampoule is quite thin so apply it after your toner. If you're like me, apply it after the essence because I use Cellbydate Essence which is a lot thinner than the ampoule. Use 2-3 drops on your fingers and apply on your face. Gently pat your skin after to enhance absorption.

FREEBIES!!

BANILA CO. Miss Flower & Mr Honey Cream

This cream is made of black yeast honey ferment 42% niacinamide adenosine. It helps provide the skin with moisture and nutrition for long hours. Apparently, black honey extract provides silky glowing skin. Use as a last step of your skin care routine. It smells so 
nice - like honey.

THE FACE SHOP Mango Seed Cleansing Butter 

SKINFOOD Broccoli Cleansing Foam 

MISSHA Signature Real Complete BB Cream

I know there were rumours about Honest Skin sending fake Elizavecca Masks, I can tell you this, not only do they sell authentic products, they also make sure that your order is well packed and they give ample amount of samples.

Memebox Boxing Day Box 2

Boxing day in the UK is a very special day for shopping. It's much like Black Friday in the US.  And for $12 + $6.99 shipping, you can't beat this box. You get 10 deluxe samples and 1 full size item - I love you memebox.

DERMA B Fresh Moisture Body Lotion 50ml

     The full size, 400ml retails for $19 online. This body lotion is so fresh when you put it on and it's especially infused with tea tree, peppermint, bergamot, ginger and amber.  It's also non sticky and gets absorbed fast.  Memebox said it's best kept refrigerated for a more minty, tingly experience. I haven't tried that because my kitchen is cold enough to keep my lotion cold.

BANILA CO.Claypatra Mineral Salt Clay Pack 12g x 2

     The full size, 100g retails for $22 online. I love Dead Sea products and this item is heaven sent. It's 100% pure mud from the Dead Sea and it effectively removes any excess sebum, dead skin cells and anything that clogs up the pores.  Gently spread the pack evenly on a clean face, leave for 10 minutes and rinse with lukewarm water. Massage gently while rinsing to exfoliate.

HANSKIN Bio Origin Royal Ampoule BB SPF30 20g

     The full size, 35ml retails for $54 online. This is probably one of the best BB cream out in the market.  If you've been reading my posts, you'll know that I love Too Cool For School's Dinoplats Cinema City CC cream. Hanskin is Better than the Dinoplats CC cream. Just a single drop can leave your skin visibly brighter and silkier. Best used with clean warm fingers.

TONYMOLY BCDation All Master SPF30 20g

     

     The full size, 50g retails for $24 online.  This is a very versatile cream that serves as a makeup base, BB cream, CC cream and a foundation all in one.  It blurs, correct and balances out skin imperfections.  It also moisturises, lifts and adds volume for a more silky effect.  Apply onto clean face and pay extra attention to the T-zone area and under eyes for a more highlighting effect then follow up with some translucent powder.

BANILA CO. Clean It Zero 7g x 4

     The full size, 100ml retails for $22 online. This has become my favourite makeup remover. It removes every trace of makeup you have on your face with little to no effort. Just gently massage the balm, which turns into oil, on your face and get ready to be amazed. It's made with papaya, acerola and herbal extracts to cleanse  thoroughly without drying the skin.

DR. YOUNG Pore Syok-Syok Cleansing Gel 15ml x 2      

     The full size, 150ml retails for $28 online.  This gel-type cleanser is made of morus bark, agrimonia eupatoria root extracts and lime extracts.  This gel is oil-free, lightweight and leaves the skin moisturised.  It's not as good as the Banila Co. Clean It Zero but it's better than most of the western Cleansers I have tried. 

TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL Dinoplatz Cinema City 10ml

     The full size, 30ml retails for $30 online.  I cannot recommend this CC cream enough. It helps brighten skin, it protects the skin from the sun and helps fight signs of ageing as well.  Use clean warm fingers and blend in.

MISE EN SCENE Perfect Repair Treatment Pack 180ml

     This item retails for $16 online.  I have very long hair and I mean really long (below my bum) and I need all the help I can get to maintain it. I wash my hair 4x a week with shampoo and conditioner and I use treatment packs 2x a week to help keep my hair healthy. I was pleasantly surprised that this treatment pack worked better than L'Oreal treatment packs. It's as good as the Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Reconstructor. Very happy that this came in full size as I have a lot of hair..

SEVEN DROPS High Protection Moringa Light Sunblock SPF50 7g

     The full size, 50ml retails for $38 online.  This item is free of paraben, mineral oil, benzophenone, silicon and talc. It's Sunblock and I'm waiting for summer to try this one out.

RYO Anti Hair Loss Treatment 50ml

     The full size, 200ml retails for $12 online.  This product is infused with biota seed, coix seed, green tea and gold extracts.  It promises to not only prevent hair loss but also re-energise and strengthen thin, damaged hair. I have not tried this one out yet purely because I wanted to try out the Mise En Scene Perfet Repair Treatment Pack first. I will let you know how it is once I actually tried it.

WITCH'S POUCH Radiant Lolli Tint 2.5g

     The full size, 4.5g retails for $14 online.  I got the 03 Funky Bloom and it's sticky. Not as sticky as the Cheek Room Lip Balm but definitely sticky enough.  The colour I must admit lasts  but hot pink is not my colour.

Memebox did very well to release a box full of deluxe samples so people can actually try loads of stuff without paying for the full price. I have tried almost all the products in this box and I love most of them.
