[Review] Innisfree Green Tea Pure Body Gel Scrub.

Hi guys! Sorry that I took longer than expected to post my second review. Today's review will be on one of my favourites!!! I fell in love with it, the moment I tried using it. So did my friends and family! The product that I am sharing with you guys today is none other than... *DRUM ROLLS*

''INNISFREE GREEN TEA PURE BODY GEL SCRUB''

Lets start off by looking at the descriptions. Enriched with green tea and green tea complex from pure Jeju Island, green tea pure revives dry, stressed skin by supplying abundant moisture. Jeju eco-friendly green tea moisturizing, antioxidant ingredients and the natural scrub particles gently exfoliate dead skin cells leaving your skin smooth and clear.

Directions: Apply an appropriate amount onto bath sponge or bath towel and work into lather. Massage over entire body and thoroughly rinse off with water afterwards.

This was the first ever bath scrub that I have tried and I stuck to it with no intentions to try out other brands. Because it is THAT good. I have bought it umpteenth times and it never fails to amaze me. I guess it works like any other scrubs, the particles exfoliates well, leaving no dead skin or dirt just as it claims. I feel that the scrub is not only effective, but it is also not very rough on skin. I have really sensitive skin (I get rashes and marks on my body when my skin comes into contact with dust or when there is pressure on it eg, wearing tight clothes - I know my skin is super troublesome) but the scrub works well for me. Not to also mention that the green tea scent is super lightweight and it does leave a tint of green tea scent on your body. It is not drying at all, even though I can't tell if it does moisturize my skin or not as it claims.

I am not very satisfied with the packaging though. It comes in a tube which I really hate because when the product is finishing, even after using all my strength to squeeze out the remaining bit, most of it just sticks to the walls of the tube either near the top or the bottom. Impossible to get every single bit out unless I cut the tube open which I usually don't because I want to return the bottles nicely to Innisfree. So proud of their recycling scheme, besides I get 50 points aka $1 per bottle that I return. Do note that only bottles with ''Please return to Innisfree after use'' are accepted and if I am not wrong, they only accept a maximum of 3 bottles per time. The product is of 150ml which is also something that makes me unhappy. It lasts me for about 2 months (longest) and that is only if I use it around once a week. If I decide to use it twice a week, it lasts me around a month and a half? At SGD13 and only lasting me a month or so, I believe it isn't that cheap. Okay or maybe I have a bigger surface area to scrub, that could be one of the factors too. In any case I would still repurchase it (which I did just yesterday) until I find another decent substitute!

That is it for this product, I will try to post my next review soon! Thanks for reading guys and have a great weekend!

[Review] Innisfree Green Tea Mineral Mist.

Hi friends! So I felt that I should start up another blog to share my opinions on some of the skincare/makeup that I have tried, as you guys know that I am super in love with purchasing and testing out new stuff even though I have super duper uber sensitive skin. This space will serve as my "used products diary" as well where I keep my personal thoughts on the skincare or makeup products I've used up.

For starters, I have combination skin, my T-zone gets really oily, my cheeks and nose will have flaky skin. My skin is really sensitive, I get rashes and stingy effects when I switch skincare, and if a product is unsuitable, I will suffer from a breakout almost immediately. But I love love love to try out new products. Personally, I do not look at reviews because I felt scammed a lot of times. The actual product effects always fail to reflect what was claimed on me. Can't blame anyone since every one has different skin types and so our skin reacts differently to the same products. As such, I have wasted quite a sum of money on buying facial products that I can't even use. Then I'll just pass everything unsuitable for me to my sister. She's so lucky. Every single product works so damn well for her. Unfair!!! I'm always the one spending and she gains from it! What a bad deal for me, right!

Bobian, life is full of inequalities. I can only rely on my gut feelings and personal preferences to choose what I should buy and try. I'm sure eventually I'll be able to get the perfect combination of skincare for myself. Trial and error method.

Since this is the very first post, I should start off with a product that I love very much, something that my fussy skin can accept. And that is...

''INNISFREE GREEN TEA MINERAL MIST''

It claims to be enriched with squeezed green tea and green complex from the pure Jeju island to deliver abundant moisture and nourishment deep into your skin. This facial mist is formulated with moisture from freshly squeezed green tea to instantly deliver moisture to your thirsty skin.

Directions: Whenever your skin feels dry, spray onto your face with your eyes closed. It can be applied before and after makeup.

I'm currently using my second bottle of mist and I'm still in love with it. The scent is not so overpowering, on the other hand it's really refreshing! What's more, they have the 50ml (SGD8) bottles which make it travel friendly. But of course I got the 150ml (SGD18) since its alot cheaper.

If you've been to innisfree, you would have realised that there is another size of 120ml going at around SGD23. You might have thought that they priced it incorrectly but no! The 120ml is indeed pricier than the 150ml because of the nozzle. The 120ml bottle has a better nozzle in terms of how fine the mist would be when sprayed. The 150ml one would have bigger blobs of mist as compared to the 120ml. So which one you would want to get really depends on your preference.

For me, I'm alright with the 150ml one just because I'll end up patting all the mist with my palms for better absorption. Plus, 30ml more of product at a cheaper price... I don't see why not. I want to pay for the product, not the packaging. I don't care about how fine the mist would be, even though finer mists are supposedly better. Well, I'm those type of people who will spam spray until I feel that my face is "drenched" in mist. So bigger blobs can save a few sprays la hor. HAHA.

I would say it's pretty moisturising. I only spray it twice a day, during my morning and night skincare routine. I will always bring it with me wherever I go but only once in a while I would feel the need to replenish the moisture. But it does help in waking me up if I feel super sleepy at work and too lazy to walk to the restroom to wash my face. I have also used this on its own during my breakout periods and it kinda helped since it is lightweight but still provides sufficient moisture.
