Skincare Products #1
These past few months I have been trying out some new products I purchased mostly from Ulta. Here are my thoughts on them.
The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG --- This product is supposed to help reduce puffiness and dark circles around the eye. It was pretty cheap too, only about $6, so I decided to try it out because I have pretty bad eye bags. I used this before applying my eye cream. It is alright, don't see much of a difference and sometimes it would irritate my skin by causing these slight stinging sensation and my skin would be red. Don't think I will re-purchase this.
Rice Brightening Scrub Foam --- My current facial cleanser that I use when I shower at night. I love the grainy texture of it and it smells nice. It feels pretty gentle on my skin and leaves it super soft after I shower. Would probably buy again.
Coola Mineral Sunscreen Unscented Matte Tint --- Got this a while ago, but haven't really used it till recently because I did not like the greasy texture it has when you apply it. But I learned to get over it and once it has set, the greasiness goes away. I like the matte tint of it though because it provides a slight coverage for me since I don't wear foundation or concealer. I would probably get it again if it was on sale, but do want to try out other sunscreen. This is the first face sunscreen that I have tried out.
DermalogicaClear Start Blackhead Clearing Fizz Mask --- Was browsing on Ulta and decided to give this product a chance because of the good reviews. It was pretty disappointing. I think it got rid of some of my blackhead, but not all. I feel like it didn't really work on my skin and I only saw a slight difference after using it. It was an interesting product, a few seconds after applying it you would feel and see the fizz happening. Would not purchase again.
Dead Sea Mud Mask --- I usually prefer to use face mask sheets but decided to give this a try due to the good reviews. Utilized this mask a few times already and it has left my skin feeling very soft and clean. A little product goes a long way, so I am sure this jar will last me for a while. Would buy this again.
Peach & Lily Glass Skin Refining Serum --- I got this since it was on sale for half the price for Ulta's 21 Days of Beauty sale. It is originally priced at $39.00. I didn't see too much of a difference on my skin, but it was hydrating and easily soaks into your skin. It doesn't feel oily and I love how it is a pump. Just wouldn't pay full price for it though.
These are a few of the samples I got from the Ulta gift hydration samplers that I have tried out.
Pixi Glow Tonic --- This product irritated my skin and made it red! Would definitely never buy this product and I am glad that I got to try it out as a sample size. I like the small portable bottle though, so I will probably dump out the rest of the product and pour my other toner in it.
Dr Brandt Hydro Biotic --- I did not like the smell of this product, it just smells odd to me. But the product works pretty well and my skin feels very soft and hydrated afterwards. The texture of my skin has improved as well. It is currently priced at $52 on Ulta....yeah that is too expensive for me. I would probably purchase it though if it was on sale.
It Cosmetics Confidence In A Cream Anti-Aging Moisturizer --- Yay finally using an actual face moisturizer for my skin instead of a body lotion hahaha. Don't know if it is because I am finally using a face moisturizer or if it is the product but my skin has been feeling very soft and smooth. This product does feel very moisturizing and a little goes a long way. My skin definitely looks healthier. I would purchase this again. Love the small container of it and will reuse it to store my moisturizer whenever I am traveling.
