REVIEW: LAFINE Vegetable Firming Cream

Today, I'll be reviewing the last item in LAFINE's vegetable-focused skincare line - the Vegetable Firming Cream! Like the Vegetable Foam Cleansing and the Deep Cleansing Cream which I've previously reviewed, the Vegetable Firming Cream contains five skin-friendly vegetables: Cucumber, Tomato, Parsley, Water Parsley, and Carrot. The extracts from these five main ingredients help to revitalize dry and dull skin as well as improve the skin's elasticity and moisture content.

So without further ado, lets get to the review! 

UPDATED REVIEW: Kicho Ultra Moisturizing Sun Cream

For the past few months, I've noticed that the Kicho Ultra Moisturizing Sun Cream has been super popular! This sunscreen has been popping up in a lot of my favorite online K-beauty stores and even constantly running out. But you might be wondering what makes this cream so special? I've previously reviewed this sun cream a little less than a year ago (review here), which I've used up by now. However, I was recently sent the Ultra Moisturizing Sun Cream again to test out and it's safe to say that not much has changed - it's still my favorite sunscreen to date!

I decided to do a little updated review to circle back on my thoughts on this sunscreen now that I've finished it, so lets get to the review! :D

REVIEW: Hansaeng Cosmetics Rin Bi-gyeol Yun Cream

Skincare containing fermented ingredients and deriving from traditional Korean medicine, often dubbed "hanbang", has been all the rage lately with Asian beauty enthusiasts like me. This is due to the fact that these hanbang cosmetics are chock full of skin-loving ingredients that help fight aging by making the skin more youthful, bouncy, and elastic. Recently, I've been testing out one hanbang moisturizer in particular, the Rin Bi-gyeol Yun Cream by Hansaeng Cosmetics, which boasts an anti-wrinkle and whitening formula!

REVIEW: Kicho Sheep Oil Cream

Korea, one of the most beauty-forward and innovative countries, is known for using not-so-normal ingredients in their skincare products such as bee venom, snail filtrate, and donkey milk... but SHEEP OIL?! I know, it sounds crazy at first, but upon more research I found that the sheep oil, or Lanolin, is actually made from the sheep's wool and the animal itself is NOT harmed at all, so, of course, my adventurous side got the best of me here! Surprisingly, Lanolin is actually present in many beauty products and chances are it's in your facial creams, cosmetics (like lip sticks) or your lip balms, so it's not totally out of the ordinary!

One of the newest brands I've recently been introduced to is Kicho and I have been so obsessed since! I've previously reviewed the Kicho Ultra Moisturizing Sun Cream, which not only made me want to start wearing sunscreen, but also made me fall in love with the natural and chemical-free brand, so I was super excited to give their Sheep Oil Cream a try!

REVIEW: Missha Super Aqua Ice Tear Cream || TesterKorea

One of my favorite go-to online shops to purchase K-beauty is TesterKorea.com! If you haven't heard of TesterKorea yet, they're an online store based in South Korea that offers Korean beauty products at amazing prices! By amazing, I mean there's no huge mark-up compared to a lot of stores in the USA and these prices are close to what you would find if you were in Korea. How awesome is that?! 

I have personally purchased from them numerous of times and each time my products have arrived in tip-top shape! ^ o ^ The box TesterKorea packages the products in is a hard and durable industrial plastic that's super sturdy and every item is carefully and individually bubble wrapped (numerous times too)! Shipping is based on weight and the shipping time takes about a month with registered airmail, which is normal when shopping overseas, or a week or less if ordering EMS! 

One of the other many reasons I LOVE shopping there is because they're also one of the first global websites that puts up the newest products and collections! I love being able to get my hands on the newest product releases (I'm a true beauty junkie LOL), and you can also request specific items for them to carry if you're dying to buy something! Not to mention, TesterKorea has always included numerous sample packets with every purchase I've made, big or small, and there's nothing that shows a company cares more than free samples hehe ^^. I promise, I wasn't paid to say any of this review, but I truly feel this way about them -- I literally waste my days constantly browsing their site and spend way too much of my own hard-earned money there almost weekly, so yes I've been obsessed with them ever since I've gotten into K-beauty!

Anyway, TesterKorea recently hosted their first Real Tester program and I am so happy to announce that I was lucky enough to be chosen as one of the 17 Real Testers! YAY :D I was sent a small package of three new product releases to review for you guys and today's review will be on the MISSHA Super Aqua Ice Tear Cream!

LET'S GET ON TO THE REVIEW :D

REVIEW: BRTC Aqua Rush Cream

Today, I'm going to be reviewing one of my favorite creams to use for the colder months of fall and winter! Typically, my skin gets VERY noticeably and unbearably dry during the colder and drier seasons, so I always have to switch to a more heavy-duty moisturizer. The moisturizer I'm reviewing today is the Aqua Rush Cream from BRTC that I received from BNT News!

BRTC stands for Bio Remedies Therapeutic Cosmetics which is quite a mouthful and a new brand to me. After using this cream, I instantly became hooked and craved more from this skincare brand!

REVIEW: Amaranth Messaline Ultra Hydrating Cream

Another one of my favorite items from the July BNT Box I received is the Amaranth Messaline Ultra Hydrating Cream. Don't be so quick to judge because this is no ordinary moisturizer!

The Amaranth Messaline Ultra Hydrating Cream that flaunts a water-drop texture that contains cabbage rose, red ginseng, and chamomile extracts to boost moisture and elasticity.
