REVIEW: Kicho Phyto Natural Enriched Eye Cream

Ever since I've noticed more fine lines popping up around my eyes, I've been really keen about wearing eye cream every night. One of my favorites has been the Mizon Returning Starfish Eye Cream, which has sadly been discontinued so I've been tasked with finding the perfect replacement.

I've searched high and low for an eye cream that's plumping and highly moisturizing, but couldn't find one that did it all until now. Enter the Kicho Phyto Natural Enriched Eye Cream, which BNT News sent me to test out and boy, this one was a keeper!

REVIEW: Kicho Aroha Glow CC Cushion (#21 Bright Beige)

I've been a major fan of Kicho's skincare line for quite some time now, but their makeup counterpart has always been very small with just one CC cream available and a handful of makeup brushes here and there. However, Kicho recently made a new addition to their makeup line by releasing the Aroha Glow CC Cushion, their very first cushion compact!

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! 

REVIEW: First Cosmetics Mulbit Vitamin Sparkling Mist

Skintertainment (skincare + entertainment) is one of the things that K-Beauty does best. I'm always on the hunt for skincare that's both functional and fun because it not only benefits my skin, but when I'm having fun with skincare, it makes me want to do my skincare every day. I'm sure I'm not the only one that gets a little lazy at times when taking care of my skin, right?!

Meet the Mulbit Vitamin Sparkling Mist by First Cosmetics - a do-it-yourself type of mist that not only looks beautiful, but also has a ton of sparkling and fizzy fun to it!

REVIEW: Hansaeng Cosmetics Rin Bi-gyeol Soo Cream

I often find myself reaching for 'hanbang' skincare (skincare containing fermented ingredients derived from traditional Korean medicine) during the colder seasons when my dehydrated skin needs some major nourishment. Hanbang creams usually come jam packed with skin-loving ingredients and one of my current faves I'm reviewing today is the Rin Bi-gyeol Soo Cream by Hansaeng Cosmetics!  The Rin Bi-gyeol Soo Cream contains a plethora of unique oriental ingredients including six-year-old fermented ginseng as well as an oriental herbal complex known as Danhwayeon. Moisturizer is a necessity to help keep the skin feeling hydrated, plump, and comfortable throughout the day and this one does it all without being greasy or sticky!

REVIEW: THELAVICOS Enzyme Clear Foam

As you can maybe tell... my computer has finally been fixed! I have a ton of reviews to catch up on, so lets get right in! Today's review is finally on a skincare product: THELAVICOS Enzyme Clear Foam! The Enzyme Clear Foam is a refreshing cleanser with a delicate and rich foam. Containing aloe vera leaf extract, the cleanser provides the skin with a moisturizing and gentle lather. 

REVIEW: Catalina Geo Auto Lip Liner (#7PP Plum Pink)

One Korean beauty brand I haven't heard much about is the makeup-focused Catalina Geo! I've previously tried their Lash Power Volumizing Mascara (review HERE) which admittedly, I didn't like at all. However, I didn't want to dismiss the brand too quickly since I've only tried a few things from them and I'm so glad I didn't! Today's review is on the Catalina Geo Auto Lip Liner, which was enough to change my mind about the brand!

REVIEW: MAXCLINIC Miraclinic Ampoule Dressing + Contouring Object

I'm a huge sheet mask addict and have tried many kinds of facial sheet masks before such as ones made from cotton, silk, lace, bio cellulose, as well as hydrogels! It's very rare for me to actually be wowed and surprise by sheet masks nowadays because they usually fall into into one of those categories above, but the Miraclinic Ampoule Dressing + Contouring Object from MAXCLINIC was one-of-a-kind!

REVIEW: 3 Concept Eyes 3CE White Milk Pack to Foam

The White Milk Pack to Foam from 3 Concept Eyes is a multi-functional product that can be used as a daily cleanser, a spot treatment pack, or a full-on mask. It contains both milk and clay ingredients that offer a pore refining solution as well as a your not-so-average deep double cleansing system (first it's a mask, and then it's a foam)!

3 Concept Eyes has been, and still is one of my favorite beauty brands of all time. I've been a huge fan of their makeup line for several years now and was stoked to hear that they were launching a new White Milk skincare line! I've never used their skincare products before, but their makeup products have always proven to be high quality, so I had very high hopes.

So without further ado, lets get to the review!

REVIEW: MAXCLINIC Purifying Vitamin Oil Foam + Cloud Embo Massage Brush

I'm a huge fan of double cleansing and as a matter of fact, I can't go a night with out it! My face never feels fully clean without using an oil cleanser and a foam cleanser, but truth be told, it's very time-consuming. Some of you might not like having the extra added bulk of having two cleansers, or others might just want to cut some time from their cleansing routine and resort to one cleanser. Thankfully, there are such things as all-in-one cleansers out there!

Today, I'll be reviewing the MAXCLINIC Purifying Vitamin Oil Foam and Cloud Embo Massage Brush!

REVIEW: Catalina Geo Lash Power Volumizing Mascara

Though I've tried heaps of Korean makeup products so far, I have yet to really delve into the mascara realm of the K-beauty world. I have a few trusty ones from Western brands and never felt the need to venture out, but I was excited to be sent the Catalina Geo Lash Power Volumizing Mascara to review from BNT News.

The Catalina Geo Lash Power Volumizing Mascara claims to feature a "strong and immediate automatic volumizing effect". With it's "extreme one-touch, volume-up, curling-up ability", it's smudge-proof as well as long-lasting! That's an awful lot of claims for one mascara to make so I was very eager to give it a go because even my mascaras I use now flake or end up smudging onto my lower lids.

REVIEW: BEIGE CHUU Ampoule Glotint in #132 Why Pink

BEIGE CHUU is one of the lesser known and harder to find K-beauty brands out there on the market, but they're definitely one of my favorites because of their cool-girl aesthetic, similar to Stylenanda, and their awesome makeup products! I've previously reviewed the BEIGE CHUU Lipstick in Gladiolous Pink and the Ampoule Glotint in #133 How Coral, but now I'm back again with another review. Today, I'll be reviewing the Ampoule Glotint, but in a new shade, Why Pink! :D

REVIEW: THELAVICOS Nutrition Hydro Gel Mask

Today's review is going to be on the Nutrition Hydro Gel Mask from the brand, THELAVICOS. I love experiencing new brands, so when I saw this in my BNT Box, I was super excited! There's thousands of Korean beauty brands I have yet to discover, and I'm on a quest to try them all, or at least as most as I can in this lifetime ^ o ^. Though I haven't heard much about THELAVICOS, I did get the chance to try their Enzyme Washing Powder, which I thoroughly enjoyed, so I was thrilled to see how the Nutrition Hydro Gel Mask holds up.

REVIEW: Hwajin Cosmetics Yeblang Special A Star Essence

Anti-aging skincare can not only be used to help strengthen the skin's barrier and elasticity, it can also be used as preventative measures even for those who believe they're too young to use anti-aging products. As the years pass on, I get more and more aware of how my skin ages even though I'm only 21 years-old! I used to not have a care in the world until I started noticing tiny fine lines showing up around my under-eye area. Since then, I've been been trying to incorporate as many anti-aging products as possible into my routine to try and reverse wrinkles in the early stages. Even though I don't have many noticeable ones, anti-aging products are still great for preventative measures and can improve your skin's overall texture too! So for today's review, I'm going to review the Yeblang Special A Star Essence from Hwajin Cosmetics that I received in this month's BNT Box! :)

REVIEW: VELY VELY IM Custom Coloring Browcara (Deep Brown)

I'm back again with yet another review of a Vely Vely item -- The IM Custom Coloring Browcara! :D Vely Vely is quickly becoming one of my favorite brands because of their AMAZING products. Their IM Custom Flawless Concealer was one of the best I've ever tried and my personal favorite, so I was excited to receive their brow mascara from BNT News.

Brows are one of the most important features on a face, and most of the time, a makeup look is never complete without full brows. However, filling in your brows can be pretty time consuming, especially if you don't have a steady hand like me. Luckily, that's where this brow mascara comes in, so without further ado...

Lets get to the review! ^ o ^

REVIEW: Hwajin Homme Terrior Dynamic BB Cream

Though not many men wear BB Creams in the Western part of the world, I know a lot of Korean men do. Taking care of one's appearance is the norm, so there's nothing wrong with a guy wearing a little BB Cream to achieve a better appearance! I have personally seen Men's beauty products, including BB Creams, BB Cushions, and even Men skincare lines, popping up recently in K-beauty stores, so I've been curious as to what the difference was with a man and woman's beauty products, specifically the BB Creams. Today, I'll be trying out and experimenting something new and fun! I'll be wearing and reviewing a Men's BB Cream -- The Hwajin Homme Terrior Dynamic BB Cream! ^ o ^

REVIEW: Nature Republic Ginseng Royal Silk Gold Hydrogel Mask

It has been such a long time since I've reviewed a sheet mask, and that's because I've just been so busy that I haven't had the time to sit down and relax with one. :( Well, I'm happy to finally be able to review one for you guys today, and it's definitely a luxurious one that I've been super excited about -- The Nature Republic Ginseng Royal Silk Gold Hydrogel Mask! 

REVIEW: Kicho Camelia Sleeping Pack

Today, I'll be reviewing another Kicho product that I've been loving for the past month: the Camelia Sleeping Pack! I've previously reviewed a few other Kicho products: the Sheep Oil Cream and the Ultra Moisturizing Sun Cream, which I have both LOVED, so I had very high expectations for the Camelia Sleeping Pack. Now, if you're wondering what a sleeping pack (or sleeping mask) is, look no further -- Sleeping packs are pretty similar to moisturizers, but they're usually thicker and chock full of nutrients that not only lock in all of your skincare steps, but also work to replenish your skin, moisturize it, and revive it overnight!

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: THELAVICOS Enzyme Washing Powder

One product that I've noticed gaining a lot of popularity and exposure lately is powder cleansers. Powder cleansers can have a lot of benefits for a lot of many reasons. One of the more obvious reasons is that they're super travel friendly (they aren't considered a liquid, of course), so you can bring along on the airplane or if you're just pretty accident-prone like me and want to avoid messy spills when going on weekend trips! One of the more important reasons though is that they're surprisingly more natural and skin-friendly than your typical liquid, gel, or foam cleansers! Powder cleansers don't require as many preservatives (if any at all) or alcohol as the other liquid based cleansers do, so that means less unnecessary ingredients for your skin! :)

Today, I'll be reviewing the THELAVIOS Enzyme Washing Powder, which is actually my very first powder cleanser! ^ o ^
