Hello, gorgeous beauties!
Spring is just around the corner, so it's time to make some changes in our skincare drawers too!
I am always happy when a product finishes up, that means I am free to test out another skincare stuff, waiting patiently in the closet for their turn to come :)
I will highlight some key points about all bottles, with full reviews about to appear in the nearest future.
The Skin House Aloe Vera Bubble Foam Cleanser
This is a basic cleansing foam, and it lasted me for a whole year because the volume is 300 ml!
The bubble foam is creamy, doesn't need to be rubbed vigorously on the skin; it is easily washed away with a couple of water splashes. It dried me out when my skin was over-reactive during the summertime; it did a great job though in the cold season.
Will not repurchase, the ingredient list didn't make me content, and it is potentially irritable if used permanently.

Koelf Gold & Royal Jelly Hydrogel Eye Patch
I used these patches every day for 15-20 minutes. I was expecting that it's going to help me with fine lines and puffy eyes, also a boost of moisture for this time of the year. Sometimes the patches would sting and make my eye teary.
I did not see any improvement in my under eye area, better invest in a good eye cream, and 5 minutes a day for a facial massage against the morning puffiness.
Definitely will not repurchase, I would look for other brands out there.

Neulii BHA PHA 5.5 Peeling Pads
This package lasted me for three months because it is the peeling season, and I use other products, rich in acids. I wiped the skin with a pad after the cleansing, when not incorporating any acids in my routine (mostly in the mornings). I have enjoyed the sensation of hydration, soothing and cleanliness after using these pads.
I appreciate the effect; sometimes, after washing my face, the skin would be tight and dry, but these pads calmed me down and prepped the skin for the soothing essence/ampoule. The products would absorb well, and the skin is radiant. I have noticed a reduction of my whiteheads on the forehead and the blackheads on the nose, without any redness and irritation!
I would repurchase it, but I would also like to test other pads.

The Face Shop Jeju Volcanic Lava Peel-Off Clay Nose Mask
This mask pack lasted me for five procedures, been using it on my nose, forehead, and chin. It has a very thick texture, so I was using it a lot! It dries out a lot of time; it irritated and reddened my skin and didn't clean much. I have not enjoyed using this product nor the effect.
I think that using correctly all my acids gives me a much better result with less irritation.
I will not repurchase it, and people with rosacea, acne inflammation or eczema should avoid it.

Bioderma Atoderm Hands & Nails Cream
I have purchased this cream at the beginning of the winter. I 've been carrying it at work, and it is always in my purse. I chose it because I wanted some nourishing, but without a greasy/sticky feeling on my hands.
This cream has done its job. I would enjoy it more if it were with another scent (it has this "trademark" medical scent of the Bioderma products). Nothing unique or exciting about this product, I have expected more for this price.
I will not repurchase, but I would use it if gifted :)

Real Barrier Essence Mist
I have decided to give a try on this brand, and I've chosen the essence mist. I was lucky I had found this mini version, and I did not spend my money on the full size.
After using it on my clean face, it stung, reddened, and irritated me. This effect got more and more evident during the time; apparently, I have a sensitivity to plant extracts and essential oils, which are a lot in this product. I did not expect that from a brand, created for sensitive skin.
I will not purchase this product in full size, nor any products from this brand! I have analyzed the products' composition, and they all have the same mix of extracts and essential oils, so that would irritate my skin even more.

Laneige Water Sleeping Mask [Lavender]
I can't get enough of this nighttime sleeping mask. I love the gel consistency, how it goes on so smoothly, and how the lavender fragrance isn't too overpowering. Speaking of the lavender smell, it is not coming from the plant oil or extract, that's why I was able to use it without any reactions. The best part is waking up so soft and supple skin because you gave your skin an overnight treat.
I will not purchase the full-size product - it is overpriced. I could not find a place for this product in my skincare routine, so I'll pass.

Laneige Water Bank Moisture Cream
I can’t begin to tell you how disappointed I am with this cream. I’m very disappointed with it and the effects it had on my skin.
The main thing I don’t like is how sticky the cream is. It never absorbed into my skin, and my skin always felt tacky when I wore this. You definitely can’t wear it under makeup, and it’s even uncomfortable to wear at night. It also gave me acne all over my face, which looked so bad and was painful.
It has some ingredients in it that sound good, but they didn’t work out for me. Not to mention, this cream smells like heavy perfume.
So, unfortunately, I wouldn’t purchase it in full size.
