Cosrx AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner 150 ml

I decided to declare war to my blackheads and so I bought this toner. It says that AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner is an effective toner for your flaky skin caused by lack of moisture and occurring dead skin cell, helping with early prevention of whiteheads and blackheads. Contained in AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner are mineral water (as opposed to purified water) for your skin health, natural AHA, natural BHA to clean away dead skin cell. Additionally, valid substances like allantoin provide moisture and nutrition for moist and smooth skin. I just started using it, so I can't tell you if it works. I bought it on JOLSE, the shipping is free and they ship worldwide. 

Ingredients: mineral water, Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Water, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Water, Butylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Sodium Lactate, Glycolic Acid, Water, Betaine Salicylate, Allantoin, Penthenol, Ethyl Hexanediol

Cosrx Aloe Vera Oil-free Moisture Cream 100 ml

Another Korean skincare product. I just adore the Korean beauty stuff. I think they are so innovative with the formulas and the prices are ok, I love spending time on Jolse and look at the products. I needed a day cream so this was my choice. Aloe Vera Oil-free Moisture Cream is a high-concentrate aloe cream that fills in the skin with thick moisture, helps calm the skin and prevent future troubles, and creates moisture barrier for sagging skin." A 80% content of aloe vera leaf juice and 200-times-concentrate of aloe vera leaf juice powder to calm quickly the skin tired from the heat and ultraviolet ray. Makes your day!" It has a texture of a gel, it's not really a cream, but I like the feeling on my face. 

Ingredients: Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Water, ButyleneGlycol, Glycerin, 1,2-Hexanediol, Betaine, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder, Allantoin, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Dimethicone, Arginine, Carbomer, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Panthenol, Chlorophyllin-Copper Complex, Ethyl Hexanediol

Cosrx Extrusion Swab 40 piece

I can stand in front of a mirror for a really long time and torture my face so I thought why not have some help. It works best around the nose, on the chin and forehead not so much. So how it works. You put the hole on the blackhead and push it into the skin, the swab should put pressure around the blackhead and push it out.

Essence Keep It Perfect Make-up Fixing Spray 50 ml

The light, transparent formula of the make-up fixing spray lies on the make-up like a protective layer and ensures a long-lasting finish. it has a refreshing effect, won’t weigh down the skin and is fragrance-free. Since it's my first such product I can't really tell you much about it and I only used it once since I got it.

Catrice Prime and Fine Contouring Duo Stick in 010 Lighter Skin

Tapered on one end and rounded on the other, this duo-stick is ideal for emphasizing the shape of the face and for effortlessly enhancing your best features. The creamy texture is enriched with vitamin E as well as argan oil, and is easy to apply thanks to the practical stick format. The dark colour creates depth while the light, slightly shimmering shade sets highlights. Once again, this is first such product for me, so I can't really compare it with anything. I can say that I find blending a little bit difficult (could be just my skulls in this area) and I think that I achieve better results with my powder product for contouring (also from Catrice). The highlighter is nice though.

Contouring Brush from limited edition Contourious

The slim, ergonomically shaped brush with thick, premium bristles can be used to set targeted highlights as well as for skilful shading that flatters the features, for example, “nose contouring”. I use this brush with powder contouring product and it works ok. But I just apply the contour, I blend it with another brush. 

Essence Longlasting Lipliner in 11 be a game changer

Longlasting lipliner allows you to accurately trace the contours of your lips. The super soft texture ensures a simple application and provides intensive, long-lasting colour that won’t streak. This is my forth longlasting lipliner and with the formula I'm fully satisfied. With this colour though, not so much. It's darker than I anticipated and I just don't feel it on my face. Maybe I should try it when I'm wearing more make up, so that the colour doesn't make the rest of my face so plain.

Catrice Matt 6hr Lip Artist in 050 Fashion REDitorial

The Matt 6hr Lip Artist covers the lips in intensively rich colour without smudging. At the same time, the non-drying formula feels pleasantly light and velvety-soft on the lips. Additionally, the handy retractable stylo pen allows an accurate application and perfect definition. It's true, the application is very easy, no tugging of the lips, doesn't feel dry. I would say that the finish is more satin matte, than true matte and I'm not sure about the longevity, I would have to taste it some more. Again I'm a little disappointed with the colour, I thought it would be brighter and on the warmer side. It turns out is almost the same as my new Rimmel lipstick in 111 Kiss of Life.

Essence Anti Split nail sealer 8ml

The fast-drying anti-split nail sealer is the first stop when you're looking for effective protection for brittle nails. it can be used on its own or as a base coat and protects your nails right to the tips. To tell you the truth I haven't find a nail polish that would prevent my nails from splitting. I just always use a base coat and since I haven't found the perfect one I'm experimenting.
