Japanese beauty enthusiast might already be familiar with Hatomugi, one of Japanese drugstore brand. This time I would love to review Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Gel.



Description & Claim

- refreshing, absorbed well through skin
- moisturizes well but not sticky
- gentle formula that can be used as often as possible
- multi function gel that have various ways to use
1. as moisturizer cream
2. as milk lotion or cream replacement
3. moisturize skin




Packaging

Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Gel packaging is white jar with blue lid. This conditioning gel is available in one size, 180 ml.


I got the sample size one for free when I purchase this Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Gel. This sample size would be easier to brought for traveling.


Ingredients



How I use this

I use this Conditioning Gel as face moisturizer after cleansing and using some hydrating toner. I also use this conditioning gel as body moisturizer after taking a bath or anytime when my skin feels dry.

Texture, Fragrance

Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Gel is white colored gel that feels light yet soothing my skin. This conditioning gel needs a minute to absorbed well through my skin. I do not sense any fragrance from this conditioning gel, which a plus point for me who didn't adore fragrance in my skincare products.


Results & My Thoughts

Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Gel helps moisturize my combination to oily skin enough. It doesn't feel sticky, and my face looks not too oily after a few hours of use. I found this conditioning gel a bit tricky for use. If I apply this conditioning gel too much on my face, it will make my face looks super oily, so just use in sufficient amount.

This conditioning gel not moisturize enough for my dry body skin area. After 3 hours of usage, my body skin feels need to apply some moisturizer again. I assume that this gel would more suitable for normal/ combination to oily / oily skin. 

Where to Buy

For Indonesian friends, this hatomugi skin conditioning gel can be purchased online in sociolla for IDR 155.000 (around 10.5 USD), and can be purchased at Aeon offline store.

Ariul is Korean Skincare Brands by C&Tech Corporation, Korea for Beauty Factory Co., Ltd. And now, Ariul mask officialy sold in Indonesia distributed by PT Social Bella Indonesia.


Packaging

Ariul Seven Days Mask Packaging have unique design for Korean sheet mask, pointing to clinical packaging design. There is some illustration that represent the main ingredients of the sheet mask. I noticed that there is illustration of animal beside the ingredients that make this sheet mask more looks made from natural ingredients.

All Variants of Ariul Seven Days Mask and their purpose

1. Bamboo Water: hydrates and increases skin elasticity 


2. Aloe: soothes irritated skin


3. Pomegranate: nourish and enhance skin elasticity


4. Tea Tree: soothes pimpled skin and tightens pore


5. Avocado: repair damaged cells and accelerate skin regeneration


6. Lemon: brightening, mild exfoliate, and control the production of sebum


7. Green Tea: repair complex face, mild exfoliate, and control the production of sebum


How I used this mask

I used this sheet mask after cleansing my face. Pull out the mask and put it on my face and leave it for 15-20 minutes. Remove the mask and gently pat the leftover ampoule for complete absorption. Eventhough this mask called "ariul seven days mask", I didn't use this mask everyday. I used this sheet mask for 2-3 times a week like another sheet mask.

Texture, Fragrance

This sheet mask is soft and have medium thickness with white creamy essence. The amount of essence just right, not too little nor too much. It has good fragrance which didn't annoy me. The size of this sheet mask is fit to my face and stay comfortably without slippage.



Result 

I just tried bamboo water and pomegranate variant when write this post. I found my skin feels supple just in one used. It sures help hydrates and increases my skin elasticity. I found the pomegranate variant leaving sticky feeling a little bit after I remove the mask, but not with bamboo water.

Update: I found tea tree variant not moisturize my skin as other variant, but it helps control my sebum for hours. For lemon I found the mask moisturize my skin but not brightening as it claims. The avocado variant helps moisturize my skin. And last, I found aloe variant makes my face a little bit itchy but it's not the mask's fault since my skin not too suitable with aloe.

Where to Buy

If you live in Indonesia,  you can purchase it online from sociolla website

Likes

+ can be used for all skin type  
+ affordable price (IDR 19,000 for Korean sheet mask)
+ the result can be felt after just one use  

Dislikes

- leaving sticky feeling a little bit for pomegranate variant

Rating: 4/5

Living in Jakarta (which the air pollution here is considered high) make me concern about cleanse my face. I heard many good reviews for Laneige Perfect Pore Cleansing Oil so I loved to try this cleansing oil although I'm not a fan of cleansing oil. I'm more into micellar water since I found micellar water is more lightweight and easier to used for me.


Description

"Deep Cleansing oil containing mugwort extract that washes off even the heaviest makeup and melts sebum and blackheads." It is what written on the packaging.


Ingredients

Isopropyl Palmitate, Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, PEG-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate, PEG-8 Isostearate, Dextrin Palmitate, Glyceryl Behenate/Eicosadioate, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Artemisia Princeps Leaf Water, Anthemis Nobilis Flower Extract, Althaea Officinalis Root Extract, Lippia Citriodora Leaf Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Butylene Glycol, Coco-Caprylate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Fragrance

 

Packaging

The box came with white blue design with Laneige logo. Inside the box, there are one tosca colored bottle contains the cleansing oil and the additional pump dispenser packaged separately. The bottle is semi transparent, so I can easily see the amount left.


It also has sealed layer inside to prevent the cleansing oil accidentally leaked or contaminated before being used.


The pump dispenser can be turned to the left or right to open or close lock which helps to ensure that no leakage will occur upon traveling purposes.

 

Texture, Fragrance

Laneige Perfect Pore Cleansing Oil texture like light oil and colorless like water. It has gentle floral and fruit scent which I like.

 

Result

I have combination to oily skin and I used this cleansing oil following the instruction that written on the bottle: 
" 1. Pump 2-3 times on dry palm and massage on dry face for 30 seconds
2. Pump once more and thoroughly massage on places with blackheads (sides of the nose, both cheecks, etc).
3. Gently wet the hand with lukewarm water and massage the face for another 30 seconds
4. Wash face throughly with lukewarm water "


The cleansing oil help remove my makeup (I do not wear heavy makeup daily, I put my pictures using my daily makeup below) and it surprisingly easy to wash off! I cannot see if this cleansing oil melts my blackhead or not, but my skin feels more clean and smooth on my blackhead area (especially my nose), so I think yes it helps clean my blackhead.



I always do double cleansing, so, after using this cleansing oil I used facial wash (I'm using Senka Perfect Whip Cleansing Foam (click to see the review) when I write this post) to continue my cleansing routine.

Where to Buy

If you lived in Indonesia, you can purchase Laneige Perfect Pore Cleansing Oil from Laneige offline store. If you like to purchase it online, you can purchase from their official store on some e commerce website like Shopee, Lazada, Bli bli or beauty online store such as sephora, sociolla.

 

Likes

Dislikes

- takes longer than remove makeup using micellar water

Buat penggemar kosmetik lokal pasti udah pernah dengar brand SASC atau Socially Aware Sexy Cosmetics ini. SASC berkolaborasi dengan beberapa influencers Indonesia, dan salah satunya adalah Malvava, seorang influencer di bidang kecantikan sekaligus makeup artist, dan hasilnya adalah lip liquid Magnificent ini

Packaging

Aku beli SASC lip liquid Magnificent secara online dari official store mereka di Tokopedia dan ternyata dikemas dengan cantik. Kemasan box SASC terlihat sangat niat menurutku, dan ini menjadi nilai plus tersendiri. Box mereka di foil emas baik bagian depan maupun bagian dalamnya.


Kemasan box SASC x Malvava Ultimate Lip Liquid ini terkesan mewah dengan adanya foil emas dan emboss berbentuk mawar.


Untuk botol kemasan lip liquid nya sendiri SASC menggunakan tube transparant yang tebal dengan logo SASC di bagian sampingnya. Pada bagian bawah ada tempelan stiker yang menunjukkan nama shade-nya "Magnificent"

Ingredients



Texture, Fragrance

Tekstur SASC Magnificent Lip Liquid ini creamy dan mudah dipoles ke bibir dengan aplikatornya. Gagang aplikatornya juga terasa pas panjangnya buat aku. Untuk wanginya, mirip wangi vanila dan karamel di hidungku, enak wanginya.


Results

Shade Magnificent ini warnanya nude dengan sedikit hint coral. Aku senang akhirnya nemuin lipstick nude yang enggak bikin aku terlihat pucat. Sepertinya shade ini akan cocok dengan semua jenis kulit. Shade ini cocok untuk dipakai sehari-hari dan lagi formulanya terasa ringan di bibir dan tidak lengket untuk lip liquid.

indoor, baru poles di bibir

Lip liquid SASC magnificent ini finish-nya terlihat matte. Sebelum menggunakan lipstick apapun aku selalu menggunakan lip balm,tapi saat menggunakan lip liquid SASC magnificent ini masih ada garis bibir yang terlihat di bibir ku setelah beberapa waktu.

cahaya outdoor, dalam mobil, setelah 1-2 jam pemakaian tanpa minum / makan
Untuk segi ketahanannya, Lip Liquid SASC ini termasuk long last selama tidak minum / makan. Ketika minum lip liquid SASC magnificent ini transfer ke gelas tapi masih menyisakan warna di bibir ku. Tapi ketika makan lip liquid nya kehapus semua hingga tidak menyisakan warna di bibirku sehingga perlu reapply ulang. Jadi kalau mau dipakai seharian lebih baik bawa lip liquid ini untuk reapply.

Where to Buy

SASC Lip Liquid shade Magnificent ini bisa dibeli secara offline di beberapa booth offline mereka ataupun secara online di SASC official di tokopedia atau website mereka, www.sascofficial.com

Likes:

+ ringan
+ tidak lengket di bibir
+ cocok dengan warna kulitku, dan sepertinya akan cocok dengan semua warna kulit Asia
+ pigmented
+ packagingnya bagus
+ teksturnya creamy
+ mudah dipoles di bibir dengan aplikatornya

Dislikes:

+ tergolong mahal untuk lipstik lokal, IDR 149,500 (tapi coba follow instagram mereka, @sascofficial, mereka suka bagi-bagi kode promo di ig storynya)
+ transfer ketika minum atau makan
+ setelah beberapa waktu garis bibir terlihat lebih jelas dari biasanya walau telah memakai lipbalm

Rating: 3.8/5

Recently Shu Uemura released their new foundation: Unlimited Foundation. I'm sold immediately when saw their breathability test in their youtube channel.


screen shoot from Shu Uemura YouTube Channel

Shu Uemura Unlimited Foundation have 24 shades options and I choosed to try shade 674

screenshoot from shuuemura.com.sg

Packaging

It is a simple white box with Shu Uemura logo and product description. Unlimited. Breathable lasting foundation and SPF 24 PA++


The bottle come with unusual cube pump bottle shape for Shu Uemura foundation (which normally cylindrical shapes). The bottle a little bit heavy and thick that convinced me this made of glass. It contained 35ml of the foundation.



Ingredients


Texture, Fragrance

Shu Uemura Unlimited Foundation have lightweight fluid texture and easily to blend. The one I have is shade 674 light shell which is a little bit too light for me, but surprisingly it blend with my skin well. It has a little foundation scent like others but it not disturbing me at all.

 

Result

The foundation really feels light on my face. I feels like I'm not wearing any foundation on my face.

It gives natural result with semi matte finish. The coverage is medium, which is fine for me. But if you need high coverage, maybe you need to add some concealer, although the foundation is buildable.


This Shu Uemura Unlimited Foundation sure longlasting on my skin. I used it around 8 hours and the foundation still stay although I used it under hot humid climates. The oil control looks good too for my combination to oily skin and no crack at all. It helps my face not look too oily than using another foundation. It is easily to remove used cleansing oil or micellar water.

Where to Buy:

For Indonesian friends, you can purchase this offline at Sephora, Sogo, Central that sell Shu Uemura products. Or you can purchase this online at sephora indonesia or sociolla for IDR 720.000 (around 48.73 USD, Oct 2020 price)

For Singaporean friends, Malaysian friends, and Philippines friends, you can purchase this at Sephora or Shu Uemura counter that available in your country. 

Likes:

+ suitable for Asian skin
+ has many option shades (24 shades)
+ lightweight
+ long lasting
+ pump bottle
+ easy to blend
+ lets your skin breath
+ natural result, semi matte
+ medium coverage, buildable
+ has SPF 24 PA ++
+ no breakout

Dislikes:

- it is a little bit pricey, but the price is worth it for the result for me
- not travel friendly, since the bottle is made from glass

Rating: 4.2/5
