Hello everyone, Linda here. Welcome to my little blog of reviews and tutorials.

I stumbled upon 'ulzzangs, feizls and gyarus' about 3/4 years ago whilst I was on google and Instagram, I was fascinated by their style of clothes and makeup and started to research upon their unique makeup styles and it wasn't long before I started to experiment with their makeup e.t.c leading me to make this blog.

I'll be posting reviews on products, tips and tutorials

I hope you enjoy your visit

`(Tony Moly) Tomatox magic massage pack review

So recently I decided to purchase Tony Moly's Tomatox Massage Pack from eBay for around $13 nz dollars, since I received a sample of it after a purchase of another item. 
 


My first impressions
On packaging; I thought the packaging was suuuuuuper cute 😊 It comes in a red tomatoe shaped container which screws apart into two pieces. When I opened it the contents were slightly spilt out, I think this happened because the parcel may have been flipped over. 
When you open it you find a mini spatula and then a hygienic plastic cover

The container ~~ look how cute :333

The spatula it comes with 


Annnnd the product ☺️


Product texture; It has a nice thick texture which doesn't dry out until a good 2 minutes after you stop massaging it on your face 

Product smell; It has a nice subtle smell, a little floral. I really love the smell but some may find it not to their likings. 


To the reviews we go ❤️ 
I massaged the product on one side of my face and left the other side bare so you could see the difference in comparison. 

The instructions says to massage the product on the face for 2 minutes and then leave it on the face for 5-10 minutes 
And then rinse of with water 

I look like a joker with bad makeup on but here it is, I massaged half the product onto the left side of my face to show you my face before the product. 

Water got splashed everywhere onto me as I rinsed >.< . But here is the after result of my face. Look how less dull and bright my skin has become 🙆. And how my eyebags are less noticeable. 



After massaging the product for 2minutes, I left the product on for around 40 minutes as I was watching a series and I lost track of time 😑😅. 

It was a pretty clean and fast process to rinse off, no mess what so ever and for someone like me who's mess prone it's definitely a pro factor. At first I thought it was going to be chalky and leave my face ashy and dull but it brightened my face up 110% 😭😭😭😭😭. My first thought was ASDFGHJKL THIS PRODUCT IS MAGICAL AMAZING.

Results; 
My face ended up about 5shades whiter. True this product did what it claimed to do, it whitened and brightened my face, all in 30-40 minutes of having this product on me. And to most people, this product can have people fooled. But I realized what the product really did, when I took a closer look I realized that all the product did was leave a sort of thin veil onto the applied area causing temporary whitening and brightening effects. 

The results lasted me around a day and evening which was pretty great, my skin did not look dull that day, no sir. 

My face in the morning about 6-7 hours later after having this product on. See how long it lasts ☺️ It would be a great pre night out product; 



Final verdict 
Although the product was temporary for whitening and brightening, it did leave my skin moisturised and it seemed to have controlled my oily t zone as well as even out my skin tone and blemishes. 

In my opinion this is a super amazing product if you want 
❄️ Whiter face/ skin
❄️ Brighter and less dull skin
❄️ Evened out skin tone 
❄️ Oil control for T Zone 
❄️ Dark circles to be gone 

Tips: 
❤️ To really get the most out of this product I recommend you to used an exfoliating face wash to get rid of dead skin cells as no matter how much  product you put onto your skin, the product won't be able to get soaked up onto the skin while the dead skin cells are still on it acting as a barrier. I recommend using St.Ives ageless skin, apricot scrub 
❤️ I find that after having a sleep over, a late night up watching series or playing games, a night out or just having a busy sleepless life. You tend to get dark circles underneath your eyes which are not attractive 😫 and also dull skin. You just need to apply this underneath your eyes for half an hour while you make breakfast e.t.c, then wash it off and you'll be eyebag free 👍 
❤️ If you are going for a natrual ulzzang look or a no make up make up look, this product is super for making your skin bright, white and even toned. Which means you wouldn't need to apply as much makeup onto your face. 


Overall rating; 
Brightening: 80/100 
Whitening: 100/100 
Evening out skintone: 70/100 
Other benefits: 70/100 

Have a nice night cuties😘❤️

`Skin79 Super Plus Vital Orange/ Triple functions BB cream

(Yay my first review, how exciting n.n, I apologize in advance if its a poorly done review. I'll get better hopefully).

So recently after finishing my last BB cream ( Skin79 V.I.P gold bb cream) I decided to buy another one ( from eBay) from the Skin79 range of BB creams for about $14 and it being summer over here in New Zealand, I thought I'd buy a BB cream that had a high SPF protection as I tan so easily in summer 😭. 

I thought I'd show you guys what the box and bb cream looked like as there are a lot of fake skin 79 bb creams out there and skin79 recently changed their packaging and removed the skin79 authenticity labels that used to be on the old bb creams for some reason 😯.

The front of the container

This BB cream claims to have whitening and wrinkle effects as well as 50+ SPF PA+++ sun protection benefits. In the ingredients list, you can find many fruit and natural extracts as well pearl powder, caviar extract, grapefruit and lemon extract. 

Testing on my bare arm  
As you can see my scar on the right side of my arm is covered by the cream. 
It has a slight grey undertone to it as you can see and slightly too white for my skin without oxidising. 

 
What the bb cream itself looks like 

 
Mixing it into my arm with my finger

 
Around 4 hours later, as you can see it has nicely oxidised, there seems to be no flakiness or patchiness on my skin and has blended into my skin nicely. The only thing that seems to be slightly bad is that it leaves a white cast. Some people may like this while some May not. 


Comparing it on my face. 
I put the bb cream on one side and left the other side without. I do not have any other products on my face and I hadn't washed my face before hand for a better comparison. 


Side with the bb cream, my blemishes are nicely covered and it has evened out my skintone. My skin looks super bright because this bb cream has a super high SPF index and therefore will reflect a white cast when you take photos. Which may be a good thing for some people.






Without bb cream in different lighting, as you can see I have blemishes on my cheeks and around my nose area. Also uneven skintone. 



Overall review of the Skin79 Vital Orange BB cream; 

Pros; 
❤️Stays on throughout the day without signs of flakiness, wear, patchiness or drying of the skin. 
❤️Very high SPF protection of 50+ PA+++ meaning it's great for summer or those who want to protect their skin from tanning, uv rays e.t.c 
❤️Ingredients of product seem to be all quality ingredients such as Caviar and pearl extracts. 
❤️Has whitening effects 
❤️Is great for those who want brighter skin with a matte finish
❤️Good for people who have light/ fair skin, I'd say around NC20 
❤️Good coverage 
❤️Good for people who have combination skin/ oily 
❤️Haven't experienced any breakouts or pimples, doesn't clog pores 
❤️Great price for a quality product 

Cons; 
💔Smells a bit odd, a little like floral scented sunscreen. Some may not like it although the scent is not very strong. 
💔 Bad for people who have tanned or slightly tanned skin as it is very light in colour 
💔May be hard to blend into the skin for some 
💔Takes a while to oxidise
💔Leaves a white cast on skin 
💔The 40g bottle may be hard to travel around with when you're on the go as it is bulky and space consuming. 
💔May be confusing to some to find the real skin79 bb creams as there are many fake ones that look similar. 

Personal Overall ratings; 
Packaging; 7/10
Smell; 7/10
Consistency/ coverage; 7.5/10
SPF protection; 8.5/10
Price/ availability; 8/10
Other benefits; 8/10
