An Unexpected Haul: Haul #2 - #4

For the past 2 years, I've had this habit of buying a lot of skincare products whenever I buy makeup. I could go out to buy masks and serums without having to purchase makeup, but never the other way around. 

Majolica Majorca 

Etude House

My first Etude House Purchase. Why? The nearest store from home is 2 hours away. :P

The Face Shop

I am a regular makeup user which is why I do not take skincare lightly. Makeup at some point, will take a toll on your skin if you do not take proper skincare treatments. I currently have a 6-7 step skincare regimen before I go to bed at night, some people even have 20!But this doesn't necessarily mean you have to slather as much product on your skin, you just have to remember the holy trinity of skincare: CLEANSE, TONE/EXFOLIATE and MOISTURIZE.

Do wait for the upcoming product reviews. :3





Much love,

Holika Holika: Smooth Egg Skin Tightening Essence

As a sucker for Korean cosmetics/skincare items, cute packaging and "egg based" products , it's no wonder how Holika Holika has captured my heart. 

The Holika Holika: Smooth Egg Skin Tightening Essence, product description says:

"This innovative pore essence with micro-collagen restores pore size with suppleness. When applied, it immediately absorbs and gives a soft and smooth touch to the skin."

 

 

It comes in a 50ml bottle priced at roughly around $24-$26 (approx. ₱1000) online. It is not yet available locally. 

 

 

 

My take on this product . . . 

Pure love. I started looking for a back-up the moment I started using it. It gives my skin a soft supple feeling and makes my pores look refined for quite some time. It makes me feel fresh and relaxed. :D

 

 

 

Would I recommend it?

Yes. 

 

 

 

Would I re-purchase?

Given the opportunity, yes. But I will stop scouting for it at the moment so I could try out different essences/serums. 

 

 

 

Cost per Use:

 

I apply a liberal amount of it to my face, 2 times a day, morning and evening. So far, I've used half of the bottle in a month. I believe the rest will still be good for another month or so.

 

 

1000 (price) / 30 (days in a month) x 2 (application in a day) 

 

= ₱16.66 per use!

 

Just right for regular serum users but it is pricey for people under a tight budget. 

Overall Rating:

4.5/5

Have a wonderful week ahead,
