Yoboseo~! I have been gone for a looooong time, but I’m glad nobody unfollowed me. Or so, I think. I love you, beauty blog friends. *hugs*
Today, I will be reviewing Tony Moly’s Tomatox Brightening Eye Serum. It’s supposed to moisturize and get rid of dark circles. I have been using it for almost 3 months now, and I can say that I am ready to gauge its effectivity.
Of course, everything is written in Korean.
Made in Korea, Expires 12 months after opening.
It comes in a sleek squeeze tube packaging with a twist-off cap. This makes application hygienic, and easy since you can control the amount you need.
It’s a gel type product, and it’s easily absorbed by the skin. A little goes a long way, so this product would last you up to 5-6 months. So, is it effective? I can say that my dark circles have dramatically reduced. I wish I had taken before and after pictures. My dark circles are still there, but with a light layer of concealer, they’re gone. Lol. Also, the deep lines in my lower eye area are starting to disappear. Eep! Take note though, that I am using it in conjunction with an Avon’s Solutions Plus Refined White Eye cream which I’m going to review too.
What I liked about the Tomatox Eye Serum:
- Effective, though it may take some time. But this is skincare, we all know it’s not overnight.
- Easily absorbed by the skin.
- Didn’t irritate my sensitive skin.
- Smell is relaxing, nothing overpowering.
- Price is 700+ but I got this on sale for 300+ only. It’s worth it because it would last a long time.
- Easily available in local Tony Moly stores.
- Efficient packaging.
What I didn’t like about it:
- No English translations.
- I can’t think of anything anymore. :)
All in all, I would give this: ♥♥♥♥
Buy again? Probably. ;)
It claims that it is “a refreshing emulsion that soothes reddish trouble skin with the added ingredient of tea tree extract” but does it deliver? ;)
I was actually quite hesitant to get this because everything I got from Nature Republic just broke me out *insert sad face here*, but because of Erika’s good feedback and my need for a good moisturizer, I decided to give Nature Republic another chance. And I am so so glad that I did, this works just like magic, and a week after, I bought the toner.
This big bottle (almost as big as my hand with my fingers stretched out) costs Php 370 only. You need just a little amount everytime you use it, so this will probably last for 2-3 months with twice a day usage.
You might be wondering what an emulsion is, it’s like a moisturizer but lighter than a cream. You can actually use a cream over it if you have combination to dry skin. But I want to keep things light, so I just use this.
Things I liked about it:
- Fights troubles~ And by trouble I mean acne, this has kept me pimple free, while still giving enough moisture.
- The smell is very relaxing. A perfect *lullaby* after a long day at school.
- Can be worn under make up~ This gives me a primed, glowy skin ready for BB cream. :)
- A little amount goes a long way.
- The price is very affordable. Php 370 for a quality, effective, Korean skincare product, it’s a steal!
- The packaging is cute and very chic, very Turning Torso by Santiago Calatrava ;) Google it.
THERE IS NOTHING I DISLIKE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT. I might actually end up marrying it. Lol
Obviously, I will give this: ♥♥♥♥♥
I really commend Human Heart Nature. They have the perfect philosophy, and the best organic products at a very very affordable price. I actually enjoy and take pride in buying from this company because I feel, in my own little way, that I am helping my fellow Filipinos and the economy. :) You can visit their site or their Facebook page to know more about their company.
Today, I will be reviewing Human Heart Nature’s lip balm in Tutti Frutti and Peppermint.
Tutti Frutti:
What I like about it:
- 100% Natural! No harmful products! Yayayay! I am actually sick and tired of seeing parabens everywhere.
- It’s really moisturizing, and it’s long lasting. Unlike other lip balms I tried, I have to reapply every 1 hour or so.
- The price! It’s affordable for Php 69.75~
- The smell is addictive! It smells like a bubble gum I used to eat when I was a child. It’s a joy to apply this lip balm because of the scent.
What I don’t like about it:
- Nothing really, except, I think some people would not be fond of the smell.
All in all, I would give this: ♥♥♥♥♥ Parfait pour moi!
Peppermint:
Almost the same with Tutti Frutti, only the scent is different, and it has a cooling effect. It smells like a grass or something herbal, it can be relaxing but I don’t really like it. The cooling effect is just like on Lipice lipbalms, which I don’t like either. But some people actually like the cooling effect.
All in all, I would give this: ♥♥♥♥ The scent, and the cooling effect. :<
This works like magic. You can use it as a facial mask, a nose pack, or a spot treatment for blemishes. I personally use this as a spot treatment. This trial size lasts forever! Lol, and it’s so effective too. I will definitely buy the full version of this Innisfree Jeju volcanic pore clay mask.
