*Cookiie; Moisturizers Galore (reviews)

Some of these product reviews were requested a long time ago, but I decided to wait until I've used them long enough for a fair judgement. Aaand then I forgot about them, which explains why it took this long. Haha, it's better late than never, right?

The Sana Nameraka Soy Milk Cream is a thick and rich feeling moisturizer. The Good: It moisturizes well enough, making your skin feel really soft. Did not cause me to have more breakouts. The Bad: It has a very odd scent to it that I can't even describe. You'd think because it's "natural"..but it contains parabens. It's still a pretty nice and affordable moisturizer though, if you have no problems with parabens. Not sure about the other ingredients, since the full list is in Japanese. Price: US$9.30 for 50g.

The IsQueen RICE Rice High Performance Eye Gel is a clear gel that makes your eyes feel refreshed on application. The Good: Feels great when you apply it on and slightly de-puffs the eyes. Nothing extremely moisturizing, but worked for me since I have oily lids. The Bad: No matter how cute the packaging looks, it's really not convenient. I had to use a spatula to get the last bits out, but even that was tricky. Since the ingredient list was all Chinese, I don't know whether it contains parabens or not. Recommended for wrinkle-free youngins who need a little moisture around the eyes. Price: US$19.10 for 30g. Rating:

The Cyber Colors HYDRO PLUS+ Soft Hydrating Night Cream is a light but rich feeling moisturizer.
The Good: This baby took me forever to finish, since you only need a tiny bit amount to cover up your whole face. I really loved how it made my skin feel super soft when I woke up in the morning and it smells nice as well. The Bad: Just like the eye gel, it has the inconvenient square-shaped packaging. Sadly enough, it also contains parabens, so I won't be repurchasing it. Price: US$32 for 50 ml. Rating:


And now two misses! The Innisfree Olive Real Eye Cream is a very thick eye moisturizer that didn't absorb well for me. Afraid to get milia from it, I stopped using this and gave it to Milk for her dry skin to try out. It doesn't contain parabens though, so I'd recommend trying it if you don't get milia easily like me.

Both Milk and I had high hopes for the Simple Replenishing Rich Moisturiser to use under the eyes, but it really did nothing for us. Because it spreads really well, I sometimes use this as a body moisturizer or mix it with a dark foundation to match my body with my pale legs. It does contain parabens, so I'll definitely not repurchase this again.

Phew, finally done! I know it's been a long while that I've updated and I'll keep trying my best to do it more often. My student life just started a month ago and recently I also got myself a new job, so give me a bit time to find the balance again haha. Have a nice weekend~

*cookiie; mini sasa haul

Thanks to the more strict custom rules we have here in Holland, ordering things overseas has become more painful for me. I had two EMS parcels coming from Yesstyle.com and I had to pay around €60 for taxes. Apparantly, they're more strict with EMS parcels so it is still pretty easy to receive normal parcels without getting caught in customs. And so I finally gained the courage to order some stuff at Sasa.com, which arrived fast and safely!



As you can see, it's not much since I was trying to play safe for a little, hehe. ☺




New skincare products! I've said that I'll be getting some new skincare products in my skincare post as I was only using the Acne Removing Cream by Laozhongyi. That cream is really good, but also a little bit on the expensive side.

These face moisturizers are quite cheap though. The Dr.G DR. YOUNG Sprinkling Gel Cream (50 ml) cost $28.40 and the Cyber Colors HYDRO PLUS+ Soft Hydrating Night Cream (50 ml) cost $32. I use so little of the product for every application so it should at least last for 3-5 months. As for the IsQueen RICE Rice High Performance Eye Gel (30 g), it's not bad. I don't really see a lot of difference around the eye area, but I do feel like it's getting moisturized well.



A very cheap oil cleanser (KOKURYUDO HIPITCH Deep Cleansing Oil, 215 ml) that works really well, especially for my eye make up. You'd need a few more pumps for heavier make up, but it's really gentle for the skin and so far I'm loving it. ♥ I also got the Nexcare Acne Dressing (18 pcs) since Connie/Skin Deco's review impressed me a lot.



Lastly, I got a Dr.G HYDRA INTENSIVE Blemish Balm Cream SPF30 PA++ (5 ml) sample for free as they were having a special offer during the time I ordered these things and some cotton puffs. I haven't tried the BB cream yet but I think I'll be reviewing it soon.

That's it! I love Sasa.com but I'm really broke at the moment, haha.. If you got any questions about these products or anything, then don't hesitate to ask~ ^^
