Yeah! It's Laneige!

I first heard about Laneige on Facebook from friends and when I saw the line at Target I knew I had to get at least one product from Laneige. I really couldn't decide on which one I wanted to try first, I seriously wanted all of them (I think this skin care thing has become an obsession). I don't know how many trips to Target and how many times I stopped at that aisle until I finally decided on Laneige Bright Renewal Emulsion, which was $30. So cross my finger and I hope it's worth all my trips and the money.

Here are this product's benefit as stated on the box and Target's website:

Lightweight moisturizer

Brightening Renewal Complex™
• Helps fade and prevent dark spots
• Renews skin's radiance from within

I will give this a review within a month or so, because I like to wait at least a month to see how the product works on my skin. Yay!!!
I really want to get the night cream and the sleep mask too, especially the sleeping mask. I love sleeping mask! But for now this one will do.

Milky Dress / ALL-IN-ONE

So, I just recently discovered this Korean brand called, Milky Dress and I picked up the All-In-One multi cream. On the box it says that it's a five in one multi cream, toner, lotion, essence, cream, and serum. This product is suppose to make your face “soft and shiny skin leaving skin moisturized and nourished by building skin protection layer.”

I'm always skeptical with these multi cream because I feel like, how are you suppose to have one product doing multiple jobs and have the result of one product. Not only that they probably won't work as well as having a product that's aimed for a certain thing. I guess I only grabbed this product because I've never heard of it and the little green box that it came in was pretty and shiny in a very normal way. Or maybe I just wanted to give a multi cream a chance.

The very first morning I tired it on I kind of liked it but didn't pay too much attention to the result of having it on my skin, not until the second and third morning that I actually paid attention. I loved how it smoothed out my skin and I felt that it did a great job covering my pores, though it did not state on the box that it covers pores. Maybe they should put it out there. The cream spread really well over my skin and I just love love how my skin look afterward, so smooth and flawless with this cream.

I can't say about the toning of this product because I did used another toner during the use of this cream. But I am definitely praising on the soft, shiny and smoothness of my skin after using this. Most definitely how it made my skin looked very smooth and need I say more, flawless!

There is no perfume scent it this cream, so to those that are sensitive to perfume scent this is all good. I feel like the only scent to this is... well, I can't seem to find any scent to this cream. I kind of want to say a very very very light butter scent but it could just be the plastic bottle that it came in.

So anyone looking for a multi cream, this Milky Dress All-In-One could be the one for you. I especially use this when I'm in a hurry and don't have time for all my other products then I uses this. It's not in a cute bottle like all those other products, but who cares it works great! At least I would again once I'm done with mine.

Hello ~ Holika Holika

Hello! I'm going to put this out there before I start with anything. I'm a very random person and I jump all over the place, but I am going to try to stay focus. Mostly I'll be blogging about Korean beauty and skin care products and maybe here and there about some of my hobbies – which isn't a lot.

Today, I'm going to be talking about the Holika Holika Aqua Fantasy Whitening Toner and Whitening Cream. These two comes in a very cute tear drop shape bottle (the toner remind me of those lava lights). The toner bottle is taller while the cream comes in a shorter and stubby bottle. There is a whole set of this Aqua Fantasy Whitening product. There are the toner, essentializer and the cream, well I thought there were more but I guess there are three but I decided to just go with the toner and the cream. I wanted to keep it simple.



Before I start let me just say that I don't have sensitive skin, mostly oily in the T-zone, especially my nose. I also am a major fan of perfume and don't mind too much of the flowery scent of my products. With this being said, Holika Holika Aqua Fantasy Whitening has a perfume scent to this product. Now don't get confuse with their other Aqua Fantasy set, which comes in the same bottle shape only that they're blue not this white/silvery bottle. I don't know if they regular Aqua Fantasy has a scent but I quite like the smell of this whitening one. Its light and flowy, almost like a sweet whip cream smell but at the same time baby fresh, therefore it's not a strong smell. To me it's just perfect.

I can't express how cute these two are, especially the toner. Very mystical looking. There are these light fog or what the box calls it, “special aurora” that swirls as you lightly shake the bottle and it just makes the whole facial care thing extra fun. I've been using these two for about two months now and I really like it. I've noticed that my skin is a lot lighter and a lot moist. Also my skin has not only lightened but it is doing it's job as a toner too, toning my skin wonderfully. 
The whitening cream is much thicker than I thought it would be, the texture almost look chunky but it's not. It's almost like a thick moose kind of texture and it goes on smoothly onto my skin.

This is my first time using a Korean skin care product and when I bought it I thought it was very interesting what it said on the box.

“Fantastic moisture & whitening care with aqua energy of wonderland where those one icebergs and hot bring water.”

On the side of the toner box it says,

“Special aurora whitening Toner provides 20% Iceland glacial water and hot spring water.”

While the box for the cream says,

“Snow flakes whitening cream provides 60% Iceland glacial water and hot spring water.”

I mean how interesting and cool is this. With me being a fantasy freak, these description sounds absolutely like something I would read/watch if they were a book or a movie. (I'm not kidding)

There was no irritation, redness or breakout for me after using this. This product did it's job and I think I'm going to continue using this toner and cream, maybe even add in their other family members.
