Tsaio White Moisturizer & Toning Lotion (Samples)

Blue: Tranexamic Acid White Moisturizer
Pink: Hyalo-Oligo Toning Lotion

False Illustration

At first, I thought that these 2 samples were in liquid form because the packaging of samples is inflated. While I opened the sample, found out that those were in lotion form and the air had made the packaging inflated. (Usually the lotion form sample’s packaging that I received is flat….)

Tranexamic Acid White Moisturizer (Light white)

The function of Tranexamic Acid White Moisturizer is moisturizing and makes the skin become fair.

Hyalo-Oligo Toning Lotion (Colorless)

The function of Hyalo-Oligo Toning Lotion is moisturizing, soothing and maintain the skin soft.

When I use both of the samples, my face look more moisturize than before and I like the smell too. When using them, I need to pat my face so that the lotion will absorb faster.

For more information, go to website of Tsaio.

Gwiyomi Dance Guide

Recently it was a huge wave of “Gwiyomi”.

What is “Gwiyomi”?

“Gwiyomi” means “cutie” in Korea which is a song about the love girl has for her boyfriend and how she wants him to never leave her. The song is then accompanied by cute numbered hand signs and repetitive lyrics.

Below is the “Gwiyomi” dance guide:-

ROC Wrinkle Correxion Daily Moisturiser (Sample)

I had received Wrinkle Correxion Daily Moisturizer from OnlyBeauty. It contains pure Retinol, Hyaluronic Acid, Biopeptide, antioxidants (protect skin from free radicals), shea butter and glycerin (moisture).

The function of this moisturizer is to fight wrinkle where they forms, reducing the appearance of even deep wrinkles. 

This moisturizer has thick cream which leaves a nice smell and smoothing effect after applies it.  

I did not see the moisturizer had visibly reduced the appearance of my expression lines because this sample just manages for me to apply 3-4 times only. I think the effect will be clear if apply for many times.

Apply Blush According to Your Face Shape

Before apply the blush, you should know which types of blush colours that suitable for you.

Fair skin

If you have yellow undertones, peachy blushes look amazing since it is in “warm” colour family.

Complexions with cool, bluish undertones look best in soft pinks.

Medium skin

Use a deep golden pink shade for a subtle day look and pump it with a vibrant rose gold or apricot blush for night.

Dark skin

Need colour that will pop against your skin by use for plum colour and if you dare, bright fuchsia would be great.

To know the correct way to apply blush to make the face become more attractive, I had found out some information at the blog of Beauty Fool as a reference or guideline.

Blush for oval face shapes

Sweep color towards your temples. Think of it like the Nike “Swoosh” logo.

Blush for round face shapes

Add definition by applying your blush at 45 degree angle- basically follow the outline of your cheekbones.

Blush for square face shapes

The goal is soften your jawline. To do this, you should put on blush in small circles, focusing more on the apples of your cheeks.

*Apple of your cheeks are the freshly bits that stick out when you smile.

Blush for long face shapes

Balance out the length in your face by applying your blush across your cheeks in a horizontal direction.

Eau Thermale Avene Clearance Soapless Gel Cleaner (Sample)

I had received Clearance Soapless Gel Cleanser from Only Beauty. This cleaner is an ultra-mild cleansing gel for blemish prone skin which contains Avene Thermal Spring Water to help reduce irritation and soothe skin.

At first, I saw this product has a word of “Soapless” which I think it will not produce any foam when wash the face. When I used it, the gel had produced much foam so I think my concept about soapless is wrong so I online search for more information about it.

According to Discover Fit & Health, soap and soapless cleansers has same function which will get you clean. But, Soapless soap has their advantages over soap which as below:-

1. Soapless cleaner did not leave soap scum in hard water. Water is considered to be hard when it has minerals such as calcium and magnesium in it. The ingredients in soap react to those calcium and magnesium ions which can leave a film on skin.

2. The ingredients in Soapless cleaner are milder and generally don’t strip away any excess oil so you shouldn’t have to worry as much about dry or irritated skin.

I like the smell of this cleaner, it was refreshing. After using this cleaner, I found out that it did not irritate and dry up my skin. My skin feels soft after using it.
