Axiu B5 Moisturizing Cream with Hyaluronic Acid

Spring is right around the corner and the weather has been sooo hooot! That's why it was time to change to a much lighter hydrating cream. My mom tried this cream before and really liked it so, she gave me one to try too. It's the Genesis Cosmetics Axiu B5 Moisturizing Cream with Hyaluronic Acid which claims to effectively repair skin cells, provide nutrients and clam your skin, reducing redness and irritation. Plus having anti-aging properties.

Love the metallic blue presentation!

It is super lightweight and fresh, it absorbs super fast, leaving a nice and soft sensation on the skin. It is not sticky at all and it has a very nice and subtle citrus scent to it.

I've been using it twice a day, for a little over a month now and I'm very happy with it. It does give you a calming sensation after being out in the hot, plus it's gentle on my skin, which is super important cuz my skin tends to be very sensitive. 

Happy skin after its skincare ✧

Even tho I haven't noticed much when it comes to the anti-aging part, I do see and feel my sking super soft, bright, healthy and hydrated. I'm very happy with it! 💙 

KJ Daily Basics | Toner with hyaluronic acid

 This year I kinda want to go back to sharing some beauty / makeup products I like, I mean, I don't buy them as much as I used to but, I do find some nice things every now and then. 

Today I'm gonna share a product that I've been using for a couple of months now from a brand my mom kinda recently discovered. The brand is called KJ Beauty, it's mexican beauty and skincare brand with a big variety of products including makeup, sunscreen and other skincare products and even some stuff to clean your brushes. They don't have a physical store but you can find their products in different stores and also online.

This KJ Daily Basics toner is the first product I've tried and it's been big help when it comes to keeping my skin hydrated during in this cold weather. It claims to oxygenate, hydrate and cleanse your skin, maintaining a deep hydration thanks to the properties of hyaluronic acid, it also repairs and fights against visible signs of aging in the skin.

I don't know if I've noticed something big when it comes to the anti-aging thing but, my skin feels good and looks healthy after using it. 

It's recommended to use twice a day, which I do, in the morning and at night. I spray it a couple of times after washing my face and gently pat the skin to help it absorb. After that I just apply my cream. I'm keeping my skincare super simple lately, I just don't have time to do much in the mornings~ But yeah, even my makeup has a nicer finish since I started using this product. I doesn't set on the fine lines as much as it did before.

Fresh and happy skin after clansing, toner and hydrating cream. 

It is meant for all skin types and has a very subtle but fresh herbal scent. At least that's what I think cuz my bestie says it smells fruity...😶

I kinda want to try more of their products, especially skincare. They have very affordable prices and quality seems to be good. I'll share more as I start trying~!!

An affordable treat for dry skin

This will be a very short post but, I really wanted to share this with you cuz it has helped my skin a lot during this cold weather. 

I'm not really new to this product but, it took me a while to write about it, it's the Teatrical cream with lanolin, which is also not a new product. This brand and product have been around for a while. I actually bought it as a last minute cream when I was about to run out of the one I was using before, I bought the smallest version and it was super affordable. 

This cream contains an added formula of beeswax and mineral oil, providing the skin with the moisture. This one contains lanolin but there's a pink version with rose water. I haven't tried that one cuz the smell is not my favorite.

I do have to say, this is a thick cream and I wouldn't recommend it if you have very oily skin. It absorbs nicely and quickly leaving your skin looking and feeling healthy and hydrated. The smell of it is like... how old creams smell? Idk if that makes sense.

The smallest presentation comes with 52g but they have bigger versions too. This small pot lasted for a long time, a little goes a long way.

And well, that is it, just wanted to put this out there in case anyone is interested.

See you in the next one! 😘

POND'S Juice Collection | Fruity Hydra Fresh | 🍉

I've been wanting to try this cream for a while and now that the weather is getting warmer and my skin is less dry, it's the perfect time to try it.

The POND'S Juice Collection it's not a new one and has other products too, such as sheet masks and facial cleansing gel. The collection also comes with 3 different main ingredients: Orange, Aloe and the one I got, Watermelon. It's my favorite out of the 3.

I'm gonna start with the presentation, which is very simple and very... summer like! What caught my attention was the fact that the box and the pot are 100% recyclable. The pink por is actually plastic. 

This product claims to tone and give you a bright skin. It contains watermelon extract which means it has water, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and amino acids. It doesn't contain any alcohol.

It has a gel like texture so it is very light and not greasy at all. It absorbs quickly, leaving your skin super soft and bright. 

The smell is also very light and fresh, slighty sweet. I'm not sure it smells like watermelon tho. But, I really like it. Plus, it fades as it absorbs which is nice if you're not a big fan of strong scents in your products.

I'm only using it as a morning cream because I'm still trying to finish a thicker one I have and used during the cold winter but, I really like it so far.

I might try some of their other products. I feel like POND'S is a trustworthy drugstore brand so, yeah.

Let me know if you've tried something from this collection and, if you liked them!!

IMAGES Moisturizing Hydra Soft Smooth Eye Cream

 

Today I have another skincare product to share that is also part of my skincare routine. It is the MeiYanQiong IMAGES Moisturizing Hydra Soft Smooth Eye Cream (this names keep getting longer and longer!).

It contains snail extract that brightens, moisturizes and nourished the skin and claims to be anti-puffiness, , to help fade dark circles and tighten the eye area. 

It contains 20g of product, which is pretty good cuz you don't really need to apply a lot.

The cream is very light and a little watery, it absorbs nicely leaving the area feeling soft, hydrated and fresh(?). It has a very subtle, clean cream scent. Dunno how to explain, like those old, classic creams.

I try to use it twice a day (morning and night) but I admit sometimes I only apply it at night, depends on how much time I have in the mornings. Guess you can see better results if you apply it in the mornings constantly too.

My eye area is very delicate and have dark cicles too. I haven't really seen any big difference on the dark circles but it does help with the fine lines, and since the area feels hydrated for a long time, my makeup doesn't set into the lines. I also like the fact that it didn't irritate my skin or gave me a reaction cuz, it happens a lot.

This cream is from Yoyoso but you can find it on Amazon too.

Mask Monday: Natural Care Cosmetic Series ☾ Moon Collection

Long time no Sailor Moon post! 

Not long ago, I found these sheet masks in the most unexpected store downtown. I was surprised and excited and, of course, I had to get all of them! (At least the ones they had).

They are called "Moon Collection" and they are obviously inspired by Sailor Moon, I remember they also had a "Princess Collection" that, if I remember correctly, was inspired by Disney Princesses.

These were all the SM inspired masks they had, it was weird not to see a Sailor Moon or even Luna mask tho.

I couldn't find much about the brand online. Apparently these masks are designed in Korean and made in China. Idk. They have many more cute sheet masks tho.

The presentation is kinda cute even if the Scouts look a bitsy bit funny. The Artemis, brooch and Moon stick ones have to be my favs, they are really pretty.

All of the masks have a different purpose and ingredients so, let's check them out!

The transformation brooch mask is a hydrating mask with vitamins A (formation and regeneration of cells, repairs damaged cells and improves the condition and appearance of the skin.), B1 (provides hydration and protection against external agents. Plus, it stimulates cell renewal, improving healing capacity.) and B3 (reduces congestion, brightens skin, and gives you a more even tone. also helps repair and restore skin by minimizing water loss. It's also known for leaving skin soft and smooth). 

Sailor Mercury's is a detox mask.

Sailor Mars' is for a glowing effect with vitamins A (formation and regeneration of cells, repairs damaged cells and improves the condition and appearance of the skin.), B (Anti-aging, reduces water loss and moisturizes skin) and E (antioxidant, prevents skin damage and  controls skin aging).

Sailor Jupiter's is an anti-acne mask with antioxidants and vitamins B6 (preventive function, it is involved in the long-term regulation of oily and sensitive skin) and E (antioxidant, prevents skin damage and  controls skin aging).).

Sailor Venus' is a purifying mask with biotin and vitamins ZN (has anti-inflammatory properties) and B7 (prevents skin problems such as dermatitis, it can regenerate tissues. Promotes elasticity and hydration).

Cute Artemis' is a nutrition mask with vitamins A(formation and regeneration of cells, repairs damaged cells and improves the condition and appearance of the skin.) and B9 (essential in the process of cell renewal, reinforcing the density of the skin. Helps skin to look young and healthy).

The Moon Stick is a collagen mask

Since I bought many masks, I gave some away to my friends (I gave them their fav Scout) and my mom. 

The masks I've tried don't have a scent at all, they do come soaked in product which is very watery and non-sticky.

I was a little worried I would get a reaction after trying them (mostly because they were suuuuuuuuuuper cheap) but, I didn't! They actually worked well. Not the best masks out there but they did the job. My skin felt soft after using them but not super hydrated. 

I didn't have high expectations with them so, I'm not dissapointed. It was fun to get them and give some to other people. I might buy more in the future just because they are cute! Hehe.

BIOAQUA Blueberry Beauty Extract Serum

Let's talk about the serum I'm currently using, the BIOAQUA Blueberry Beauty Extract. Mom gave it to me a while ago and it's been part of my night routine ever since. You can use it in the mornings too tho.

It is not my first time using BIOAQUA products, my bestie gave me a rice serum before this one and I really liked it, I just forgot to blog about it for some reason. 

This serum comes with 15ml of product in a cute blue bottle and a dropper which makes it easier to control the amount of product you use and somewhat cleaner too.

It has a blueberry essence anti-wrinkle serum, which helps rejuvenate, soften and firm the skin. The blueberry nutrients help the skin to absorb moisture and nutrition. The antioxidants help fade fine lines, open pores and moisturize it.

It claims to make your skin "moist and clear" as well as "rosy, shiny, deliacte and tender"

The serum is transparent and watery with a slight oily texture. It doesn't have any scent to it and it absorbs quickly.

After applying it I do feel my skin a little more firm and tighter. And I wake up to a very soft and glowy skin the next morning. 

I guess you can get better results if you apply the product day and night, I might try to do that whenever I have enough time to have a longer skincare routine in the mornings. 

My experience with the products from this brand have been good so far, I'd defo purchase it again once I run out of product. Plus, they are very affordable.

Let me know if you've tried BIOAQUA products and what was your experience with them.

TonyMoly Clean Dew Acerola Foam Cleanser

This is what I'm currently using as my everyday facial clenaser. The TonyMoly Clean Dew Acerola Foam Cleanser. TonyMoly is one of my favorite Korean brands, specially their skincare products.

According to its description "This moist foam cleanser makes the vigorous and healthy skin with the ingredient of acerola bearing early morning dews"

It has acerola extract, which is an anti-aging agent and vitamin C. It is great for all skin types but also great for mature skin because of the antioxidants and anti-aging properties.

It comes with 180ml of product, a little goes a long way. It is more like a cream type of cleanser than a foam one. The texture is super creamy and thick but it doesn't feel thick as you massage your face. It doesn't foam.

It has a sublte but delish cherry scent. I don't know why but, it reminds me of Cherry Halls. Lol. I don't think it has any mint tho. 

 This product is very gentle with my skin and leaves it feeling clean and fresh.

TonyMoly never dissapoints.

Mask Monday: TonyMoly Nourishing I'm Honey Mask Sheet

 TonyMoly has to be one of my favorite K-beauty brands. Not only because most of their products are super cute, but also because the have great quality for a reasonable price. 

Their facemasks are just great! You can defo see a difference when you use them even on the next day. After a couple of stressfu and super busy weeks, I decided to use this Nourishing I'm Honey Mask Sheet that I received back in June as a part of my bday pressies to treat my skin.

As the name says, it contains Honey that helps nourish tired skin, leaving your skin hydrated, soft and with a healthy glow. This masks come with a lot of product, it is watery but slightly thick and it absorbs quickly.

It has a very sublte but nice honey scent, which is perfect if you're not a fan of strong scents.

I've always had a good experience with TonyMoly masks in general, they are gentle and never irritate my sensitive skin.

Tired teacher face but fresh skin after the mask.☆ LOL

I feel like this was a very short Mask Monday but still hope you find it helpful. Let me know if you've used TonyMoly masks or other products. I'd love to know!

See you next time~ ♡

Tepezcohuite Day Cream

Last year I talked about the Tepezcoute Night Cream and how much my mom and I liked it after she discovered it by "accident". After I started using it, I did some research on other products they had and months ago, I found the Day Cream and decided to get it.

Night and day cream

As the night cream, the "Del Indio Papago" Tepezcohuite Face and Body Day Cream is a repair cream that hydrates and nourished your skin, helping with blemishes, acne, wrinkles and sun spots. It can be used as a day cream or a mask.

It has, of course, tepezcohuite (which I explained a little in the night cream post), collagen, glycerin and vitamin C.

This one is, again, not too pretty to look at. The presentation is basically the same as the night cream, but the colors change to white and blue. The cream is super thick too but absorbs quickly and it also has the brown pearl thingies that are bits of the tree bark. This one is pink tho. And I'm sure it must have rose water or something because it has a strong rose scent that is not my favorite. 

Despite the smell, I really like this product, it has helped my skin a lot through this super cold winter and I think it's better if you use both, the day and the night cream. Even my makeup applies smoother after applying it. Plus, they are very, very affordable. (even tho prices can vary depending on the store and even online)

Then again, it is a good product to check out and try if you happen to find it. 

Until next time~! ♡

Mask Monday: Hayan K-Beauty Cherry Essense Mask Sheet 🍒

Two Mask Mondays in a month~ that doesn't happen too often! Hehe.

Today I wanna show you a very cute facemask from Hayan K-Beauty Skincare. Which is a mexican brand, made in Korea. It is my first time trying one of their products and it was thanks to my bestie Ceci that I knew about it cuz, she was the one who gave me this mask. We all know how much I love korean skincare.

It is the Cherry Essense Mask Sheet 🍒 with cherry essense that works as an anti-aging because of the antioxidants, it also contains vitamin A that improves the cell production for a healthy skin.

The packaging of this mask is super cute with bright colors and the smell is just delicious! It reminds me of Tutsi Pops. I could eat it! Hehe.

Honestly, the mask works really well. It comes with a lot of serum and it absorbs quickly leaving your skin super soft and bright, even on the next day. From what I read, the sheet is made of TENCEL fabric, which makes it very soft and ecofriendly. Plus, the size of the mask isn't as big as other korean mask, that's a big yay for me.

On their website you can find many more skin care products with cute packaging and they are actually pretty affordable! I'll defo buy more products in the future!
