Preloved skincare bought based on Tiktoks

1. Dorskin Matcha Glow Dream Mask

Shared on the family whatsapp group last year. Tried the shared (tester) version bought off of Tokopedia while im having breakouts. After a few usage some of my zits dried and disappeared but new ones still popped out, and some still persisted after a few days so maybe this tiktok review isnt all that truthful. Or maybe I needed to buy the full jar instead of the shared portion. But hey I love matcha.

 

EDIT: Bought an actual jar (preloved, of course) and put it on whenever I had breakouts. My zits went away normally but not in an instant, unlike advertised in the Tiktok. Read More »

Alright time to try out more Scarlett stuff

Since I follow Scarlett's Instagram account I got notified on their new releases, and just a few days later Cipadu cosmetic shop had these in stock. For now I only need the toner, and it's gotta be the acne series y'all.

Holy H U A H broskis, this toner has BALLS. yeah, these balls that give them cooling sensation on your face. It's really soothing, and idk if the brightening toner has it too but it probably is the same.

Next up is ths coffee body scrub

Oh man I am IN LOVE with how delicious this smells. This is now my fav body scrub out of the 4 that I've tried. Im a regular coffee enjoyer, I have to drink coffee everyday and though this might not accurately smell like the coffee I drink everyday it still smells sweet, like chocolatey coffee, on your skin.

Jiera lip serum review

9

Bought this cuz i have unsaturated lips, and this tiktok vid claimed that it can bring back the natural pink within weeks.

Here's a month after using the serum, my lips have definitely gotten pinker but not that much

Here are my lips after im more than halfway through the bottle (so i'd say 2 & a half months of usage). It's still the same amount  of pink cuz I havent been using it as regularly as before. I've also noticed only the bottom lip gets pinker as the top lip is still kinda dark.

Joylab Moisture Bomb toner + pudding gel cream review

Bought these at Watsons cuz I have a membership card, and cuz I was interested on the moisturizer, i mean, "pudding gel creme"? Sounds delicious (DISCLAIMER: pls dont eat your skincare products, kids). Since this line from Joylab heavily moisturizes your skin this might be perfect for people with dry skin. However, aint nothing wrong for someone with oily n acne-prone skin to try them out, right?

Btw there's two more products in the Moisture Bomb line, they've also got a serum & essence, but it seems like theyre sold out everywhere n i only could grab these two for now.

The toner smells like roses, like one of those cheaper drugstore toners (e.g. Viva) but if we're talking suppleness here, Viva is no match. Read More »

Scarlett skincare review

First I tried the acne series cuz duh, my skin is oily & acne-prone, and it contains salicylic acid & centella asiatica, the usual go-to ingredients whenever I look for skincare products. The tea tree water's a plus though, it's also good for the skin. Right off the bat the smell is soothing. Now y'all know Scarlett body lotions are known for their powerful smells but their skincare series smell really mild, just like it should.

After a few weeks of using this my skin got visibly clearer (not my own observation. My friend's friend mentioned it) and my breakouts got even less and less. Tbh i started having less breakouts after using NaturaWorld's beauty spray & aloe vera gel, and Somebymi's AHA-BHA-PHA series, and since Scarlett's acne series also has tea tree & BHA as well it kinda picked up from where I left off with Somebymi & ran along smoothly.

Scarlett haul!

So im aboard the Scarlett train now. Theyre actually pretty good, although the body scrubs might do with replacing what looks like plastic microbeads with a more natural ingredient.

But holy scrinch, do the lotions smell amazing. So far i'm loving the purple n green ones i bought, im not sure what Fantasia smells like but Charming, as everyone claims, smells like the Baccarat perfume that's known to be quite pricey. So smelling like you own the perfume but at an affordable price is a good deal. 

Moving on to the body scrubs. The pomegranate one smells fruity just as expected, but the cucumber one smells a bit uh... Plasticy. I sorta expected a refreshing smell but they still gotta work on that I guess. Also it'll be better if they replace the microbeads with a more organic material. Like the ones Original Source used.
