[JOLSE] TIAM My Signature Red C Serum 30ml

[JOLSE] TIAM My Signature Red C Serum 30ml
by Violetta

Hey Loveliez!
Today I want to write about the TIAM Signature Red C Serum, which was sponsored by jolse.com.
This product contains "20% pure vitamin C, vitamin B12 and glutathione to deliver results in plumper, firmer, more radiant skin that appears naturally healthy, vibrant and younger looking."

The product is a red / orange liquid and really thick in consistence,but doesn´t feel sticky at all. The container includes a pipette to dose the product. The directions say that you need 2-3 drops for your face. You can use it once or twice a day, before applying lotion and cream. You can mix it with toner, but I discovered that it doesn´t mixes up with some moisturizers.

Since I´m a really straight person, I´ll let you know in the beginning of this blog post that I´m not really happy with this product.
I have used this product for two weeks every day now. The first time, 3 drops were not enough for my skin. So I used 5 drops the day after that, but that was to much. From then on, 3 drops were exactly the right amount for my skin. I feel like my face needen the vitamins and after getting it once, my face didn´t needed as much as for the first time. But I recognized that my face turned red after having it on my skin for about 1-2 minutes. I tryed the product on other areas of my skin, not only my face, and it did also turned a bit red, but not as bad as my face. the skin of my hand for example didn´t turned red. My sister also tryed it out and she said that she didn´t had such problems with it.

Advantages:

• easy to dose and to apply
• small container (but leaks just a bit sometimes)
• includes vitamin C, vitamin B12 and glutathiode
• you only need a small amount for your whole face

Disadvantages:

•  intense medical smell! (even after mixing with toner or moisturizer)
• red face after using it!
• a bit pricy for small amount (16$ for 30 ml)

I don´t know for sure, if it helped my skin and if it did what it promissed, but I think I saw an improvement. After using it in the evening (because I couldn´t use it in the morning because of my red face), my skin feld a bit younger and healthier. But for me, it wasn´t a good result considering my red face in the evening.


In the end, I personally wouldn´t recommend you this product. Even it I let out the fact, that I get a red face every time after using it, because my sister says she doesn´t, the smell is a really great disadvantage, believe me! It doesn´t leads you to use it at all!!! I personally am not going to use it anymore.
But thank you for reading my review. Maybe you have a different opinion? Let us know in the comments. I´m really curious about what you think about is, since I don´t like it at all.

We would be really happy if you'll follow us on facebook and twitter !

DIY Avocado Face Mask (with natural ingredients)

DIY Avocado Face Mask (with natural ingredients)

by Rosalie

Hi Lovelies,
long time no see.  I am sorry that I havent showen up so much lately but I was really busy. Maybe also the long wintertime made me be a bit lazy, too haha... who knows! ;)

But now spring is starting and I am really excited about planting and having my own growen vegetables and stuff soon. With this enthusiasm and my leftover avocado I decided to do a diy avocado face mask, also as recipe just for you! <3

I love eating avocado for breakfast but sometimes there are leftovers that couldn't be eaten. So I decided I will use it as mask instead of only throwing it away. (I guess I am not the only person with this problem, let me know if you have this problem from time to time, too.)



So for the recipe, you need ingredients that you mostly have at home anyway.
You need:

-avocado leftover
-honey
-milk
-fork or spoon
-small bowl


So at first I putted the avocado into a small bowl and tried to mash it up so that there is kind of a creamy consistency. Next I added one tablespoon of honey and also one tablespoon of milk. The honey helps to let the mask stay on your face but also addes more moisture. The milk makes the mask more creamy. You need to be carefull with the amount. If you havent so much avocado then use less milk, because the mask can become to much liquid. Give everything a good mix and the mask is done.

this is how the finnished mask looks like

Before you apply the mask you need to clean your face (as usual before you put on a mask) and your hands. After I applyed the mixture with my fingers onto my skin and massaged it into it. I have to say that the amount of mask was nearly to much for my face, so you see you don't need much avocado. After the mask is evenly applyed onto my face I left it on for 20 minutes. Just at the beginning I could feel the cooling effect of the mask. This is really great for hot springdays or summer. 

Me with the mask onto my face, after 20 min on. I kind of look like an alien to strangers. lol

Also the mask didn't dropped of from my face. After the 20 minutes the mask was kind of soaked into my skin. I massaged the leftover mask into my face and washed it of with lukewarm water. If you love the smell of avocado this is also amazing for you. All the time I made the mask and had it onto my face it smelled amazingly like fresh avocado. yummi! <3

I had no skintroubles after the mask and my skin feeled really clean and nice but not dry.
So I think this is a nice opportunity for not throwing away the leftover.


I hope you like this kind of recipe, if you want more mask recipes like this please let me know.

Etude House "Bubble Pore Cleansing Patch"

Etude House "Bubble Pore Cleansing Patch"

by Rosalie

 

Hi Lovelies,
wich season is your favourite?
I love spring and fall, but winter, especially this cold winter is driving me crazy. Ok, I know there are places in the world where it is much more cold, but I cant stand this for to long. This weekend we had -14°C!!!! We went out for a short walk and after this I was frozen. 

I need to really look out for my skincare. It is horrible!!
(Just want to update you about my everyday problems... huuu.)

To calm down I love to do face masks. Just a while ago I  ordered a bunch of different face patches from Etude House and todax I wanna show you one of them because I really liked it! <3

It is the "Bubble Pore Cleansing Patch". It is supposed to help against blackheads on your nose especially, but of course can be used on other spots on your face. In general it should clean the skin where it is used.

BRAND: ETUDE HOUSE

VOLUME: 1 PATCH

PRICE: $3

I odered the product at the Etude House Global Store but it is also available at other shop's.

The mask came out with a line of some other mask's. We wrote about them on a other blogpost:

Blogpost: masks masks masks (click for link!)

 

To use the mask you need to cleanse your face and towel dry it. After that you onl need to put the patch out of the packaging and put it onto your face. The shape of the patch is perfect for my nose, really big outlining. It catches a big spot on my face. I putted it onto my nose part and left it on for 10 minutes. 

just putted the mask out of the packaging

applied onto my nose area

In this time the liquid in the patch started to bubble like crazy. It felt like something is working on my skin, but it was nothing bad and it doesn't hurt. I removed the patch after the time and massaged the leftover bubbles into my skin. After all of the bubble/liquid was absorbed fro my skin I washed my face again with water and applyed a moisturizing mask. 

after 10 minutes, see all the bubbles! *__*

BUBBLES!!!!!

The leftover bubbles on my skin after I have removed the patch.

I really could see how clean my skin was on the part where the mask was. AMAZING! It worked so much better than other black head strips I have used since now.

Do you have some nice products against blackheads? Please show them I really want to try out some more things! <3

I hope this review was helpfull for you.

If you still have any questions feel free to ask! <33

Yves Rocher Body Oil with oat extract

Yves Rocher Body Oil with oat extract

by Rosalie

 

 

Hi Lovelies,
just in case you didn't know, Violetta and me we adopted a cat. SO in my last post I wrote that we were thinking about adopting one but now he is living with us for one week already. We adopted a cute old male cat, he is around 13 or 14 years old. He loves to cuddle and his fur is so amazingly long and fluffy. Just tell me if you want to see some pictures of him, I would love to share them with you! <33

Anyway, just today morning it started to snow again and last friday was the opening ceremony of the olympic games in South Korea in Pyeonchang. I have watched the ceremony and I loved it. But that again showed me that winter isnt gone and we will be having some cold days waiting for us. So Skincare is important but not only on faceskin, it is also really important to keep the whole body skin moisturized. To be honest most of the time I am way to lazy to really put on some bodylotion or oil but nethertheless I have some products I want to share with you that kind of help me with my dry skin.

I think Yves Rocher Products are always good to my skin, especially the ones for my skin. The best handcreams I have are from Yves Rocher and also the best bodylotions.
So I want to introduce you to a bodyoil from Yves Rocher I have used for a while now. In german it is called the "2 Phasen Pflegeöl mit Haferextrakt für sehr trockene Haut", but I cant find the exact english name. My translation would be :2 phrases moisturizing bodyoil for dry skin with oat extract.
I also searched online at the ves Rocher online shop but I couldn't find this product but I don't think that I have bought it long ago. Strange...... 

BRAND: YVES ROCHER

TYPE OF PRODUCT: BODYOIL

WHERE TO BUY: ONLINESHOP OR REGULAR YR SHOP

PRICE: $10

VOLUME: 100ml

The design of the bottle is neat but nothing special I guess. Like it is handy because you simply spray on the product onto your body and rub the product onto your skin.

The product is a two phrase product wich means you have to shake it before you can use it.

The product contains oat extract and it also has a strong smell of it. It is not like I dont like it but I like some flowery or sweet scents much more. I have bought the product mainly because my legs are super dry and with shaving it is really bad. 

On thes super dry parts the product is really good. It is a body oil no a bodylotion so at least it should be a bit more moisturizing. And I guess thats why after like 5 to 10 minutes I still can feel this oily consistency onto my skin. It is ok because it feels like my skin is protected from loosing any moisture but with my legs always beeing dry it feels kind of uncompfortable for me. But I guess it is only because it is the absolute difference from my normal feeling. I also don't use the product every day. In winter it is nice to use it but it is also good in summer time, my legs need to be shaved every day to look good and without long trousers on my legs but with a short summer dress the legs feel good, too.

shaked

So regardless to the scent I think this body oil is really nice t my skin and easy to apply. Also it is easy to transport if you tarvel and need this extra moisture because of other water quality (My skin always struggle with different water qualities and gets dry or irritadet.).

I hope this review was helpfull for you an if you still have any questions please feel free to ask me! <3

[JOLSE] HOPE GIRL HONEY BEE ALL DAY FIXING MIST

[JOLSE] HOPE GIRL HONEY BEE ALL DAY FIXING MIST

by Rosalie

 

Hi Lovelies,
I struggle these days. I am a bit (tbh more than just a bit) unhappy and feeling lonely. So Violetta and me, we are thinking about adopting a cat. We are not sure because our appartment isn't the biggest and on weekend we often visit our family, and the cat would be a problem to handle. But I love cat's. They make my heart warm and adopting might help the cute cat from always living in an animal shelter. I DONT KNOW: I really would be happy to hear you oppinion about this topic. Please, should we get a cat or not??? 


Haha, anyway, lets talk about korean beauty! ;D
Today I want to write about the Honey Bee All Day Fixing Mist from the korean brand "Hope Girl".
I wrote about the moisturizing cream from the same line earlyer, I really liked the product. So I thought this product might be really good for my skin as well.

BRAND: HOPE GIRL

PRICE: $15

WHERE TO BUY (klick for the link)

TYPE OF PRODUCT: FIXING MIST

VOLUME: 80 ml

I got this product from jolse.com.

The product design is again cute and mostly inspired by honeycomb. It feels like high quality and easy to use. 

So using it is pretty simple. Just apply your makeup and after you are done you can shake the bottle and spray some mist onto your skin. The product itself should fix the makeup you have applyed for longer lasting and all day long fresh makeup. 

As I have used it how the description said I couldn't really see a difference. Of course the product is nice smelling, but to get some mist out of the bottle I have to spray really like 10 times (wich I think is a bit much...). The mositurizing effect wasn't noticable for me.
But if at least the makeup will stay longer I thought it will be ok to use it anyway. 

unshaked the liquid looks like water

how the mist looks like when you shake it, you need to shake it before you spray it onto your skin

In the following you can see different products on mine and Violettas arms, with and without the fixing mist.
We washed the products off, first with water and secound with soap. Just to see the differences in dissapearing. But to be honest, there was no difference.
So I could't feel the difference on my face and in the exact test there was also no difference.
So if you are asking me this product really does nothing tomy face. I was feeling like I get some pimples while I was using this product, can this be??

unwashed

washed with water

washed with soap

I also used the mist without makeup, just to see if there is any moisturizing effect or anything. But really, there was nothing. Just dissapearing mist on my skin. It could be water that I spray onto my face, not a expencive product.


advantages:
-nice smell
-cute design

dissadvantages:
-no fixing effect
-no mositurizing effect
-must spray many times to get something out of the bottle


So all in all the product is useless for me. I am really sad to say this, but I also want to let you know about products I dont like to use.


I hope this review was helpfull for you.

If you still have any questions please feel free to ask me. <3
