I'm back with a Part 2 of my samples collection that I've been trying over the last two weeks. It was supposed to go up yesterday but I've been so ill that I didn't manage to get it up on time. Truth be told, I totally skipped my skincare routine in the last 2 days because when you're sick, nothing seems appealing but a skincare chat is just what I need to cheer me up right now. So let's get into it!
#1 Lioele Triple the Solution BB
Cream :
I have to be honest this review
isn’t the best one I’ve done because I didn’t wear it outside. Only around the
house but I had it on from morning to night and here are my thoughts. The
reason why I wore it indoors only is the shade doesn’t match me. When I first
put it on it was very light but after 5-10
mins, it starts setting and does suit my skin a little better but still it’s
meant for pink undertones so it’s never going to look quite right on my olive
undertone. It’s a shame that it only comes in ONE shade because I loved the
finish, formula and coverage. It’s surprisingly good coverage for a bb cream
and can be built to a medium to full if you layer it on. It has a thick
consistency and this is the only thing that covered my dark circles without
needing concealer. It creases on the lids and undereyes, so setting those areas
is highly recommended. I’m amazed! It’s not matte but not super dewy either. A
good in between and SPF30 is always appreciated.
#2 Etude House ‘The Pink Vital Water’
range:
I got the whole set from this range to try out in minis which includes –
A serum, a toner, an emulsion and a cream. Well I wish I had opted for another
set and not this one because as is the case with all etude house skincare, it
contains alcohol denat and some other ingredients that react badly with my
skin. I tried the cream and overnight I broke out on my cheek that refused
to budge for 2 weeks at least even with me constantly trying remedies and
acne lotions that work for me normally. Also, I have to tell you that I never break out
except hormonal break outs. I do get bumps but not cystic acne which was the case with this product.
I tried the serum and emulsion too and they were bit gentler but that thick
cream destroyed my skin. Never again!

#3 Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Clay
Masks:
This is a new concept of clay masks which comes in different colours
for different concerns and you have to apply it to targeted areas for ‘multi
masking’ – the new trend that doesn’t make too much sense to me tbh, but I
thought I’d try it anyway. How cute are these samples though? They look like
little capsules. The full size products come in colourful tubes. I did try the multimasking method( kind of like contouring with masks) and also tried using each all over my face and I
definitely prefer using it as a normal mask. They’re gentle
on the skin, made my skin less oily and made it look bright. Every time I used
this, someone told me my skin is looking good, haha including my mom. That’s a
good sign right?

#4 Cosrx Overnight Spa Masks:
Last
but not the least are these very popular Cosrx sleeping masks similar to the
Laneige one. You put it on like a thick moisturizer and go to bed, wake up next
morning and wash it off. I’m glad I got to try both the varieties because they’re
quite different. The Ultimate moisturzing Honey Mask is a gel texture, sort of
like an aloe vera gel with a cooling sensation and I found it very sticky and
uncomfortable to keep on and didn’t really see a huge change in my skin.
However, the Ultimate Nourishing Rice Mask has the thick, creamy texture that I
absolutely love as I find it so moisturizing. I loved putting it on my skin and
woke up to considerably softer skin. It sat on my skin much more comfortable. I'll probably be getting the Cosrx Rice Sleeping Mask in full size but not the honey one, it’s just not for me.
