Laneige Eye Sleeping Mask

I don't know whether it's because October is "my month" or maybe because of other reasons, but I feel be more productive start this month. I've finished every job that has been postponed for weeks, and also I started to write my blog again. Actually still there are so many topics to be written on my blog, but I still want to continue write about the eye treatment. If you have read the previous post, you'll see some "recommended products" for eyes. I won't write about another product at this post. Instead, I'll write specifically about one of those product - Laneige Eye Sleeping Mask.

With no doubt, I would say that Laneige is my favorite brand for skincare. The formula on their products really hydrating my dry skin, and its brightening products also really show an improvement. For this good quality products, the price is very reasonable. That's the reason why I always repurchased their products. Lately, I just add their new product into my skincare routine. Yup, as written above it's the eye sleeping mask. 

At the first time I didn't believe with this product. However, since I've tried the lip sleeping mask (which is amazing) and I also have the travel size, I decided to bring it when I was traveling to Canada. As you know, the time difference between Canada and Indonesia is very long and it made my sleeptime really a mess. By that time I used this mask every night, and surprisingly my eyes wasn't look too tired - unlike when I was not sleeping because of Korean drama. Looking at its great result, I decided to add this product into my skincare routine and by the full size.

First impression when I see this product, it looks elegant. The bottle made from glass - not a plastic. When I openned it, I found out the applicator was made from ceramic ball and it has a cooling effect while you use it around your eyes. It's a huge plus point from me because at the travel size, it only use a plastic bottle with pump. While applying the mask around my eyes, I like to give a "little massage" by doing a circle motion with the ceramic ball.

When you use this Laneige Eye Sleeping Mask, do not think it will be show an instant result. Every skincare need a process and you need to use it routinely to see the result. Will I repurchase this product? OF COURSE!! As long as there's no other product with this function, I'll stay with it and put it in my night skincare routine.

The Best Eye Treatment for Tired Eyes

The best eye treatment

Hi beauties, how you've been lately?

Did quarantine make you have enough time to sleep and take a rest at home? Or instead, it made your sleep time being disorganized? For me, this quarantine life really "destroyed" my daily routines especially my bedtime. At the beginning, I slept late because of watching Korean drama. I had no idea what should I do at that time so I just keep watching TV series (especially Korean drama) on Netflix day and night. After couple months, I have a new desire to build a new business. So I was working on it until midnight, and even sometimes I didn't sleep because I had a lot of things to do. At the end, I realized that my eyes looks very tired. I could see my dark circle was getting worse and I hate to see it.

Well, I realized it's not only because of my new "job". As I was saying at the previous post, I didn't take care of my skin at all during quarantine. I was too lazy to do it. But looking at how bad my skin was, I tried to fix it and started to do a complete skincare routine again. But this time, I’m not gonna write about my full skincare routine. Instead, I will write about treatment that I do for my eyes. I have 3 favorite products for tired eyes, and I will write about it completely below.

Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Eye Creme

Eye cream is the most basic treatment for eyes, and it's something that you must use everyday. Eyes is the part of your face that get aging rapidly. Some peoples -including me- got aging signs such as dark circle and fine lines around eyes at the young ages. Therefore, eye cream is as important as other skincare. I’ve tried many eye cream before, and currently I fell for Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Eye Creme. With Vitamin C and collagen as its ingredients, this eye cream can solve any problems around your eyes such as dark circle, wrinkles, and puffiness. It’s really good especially if you don’t have enough time to sleep which cause your eyes looks tired. 

Laneige Eye Sleeping Mask

Have you ever use sleeping mask on your night skincare routine? If you have, you must be know how it is work during your bedtime. I never forget to use sleeping mask twice a week, and I love the result which make my skin very hydrated. Sleeping mask works really well while you sleep and give extra hydration. That's what I got by using Laneige Sleeping Mask at night. Being success with sleeping mask product, Laneige has launched another great products which are Lip Sleeping Mask and Eye Sleeping Mask. I've write the review about how lip sleeping mask solved the problem at my lips, and now I gonna write about eye sleeping mask.

Like other "sleeping mask" products, I use eye sleeping mask while I was sleeping during night time. This product used as a replacement of eye cream. While in the morning I use eye cream, at night I use eye sleeping mask. The thing that makes me love this product is the applicator which is a ceramic ball. It has a cooling sensation, and it's good for tired eyes. When I use it, I put the ceramic ball onto the area around my eyes, and do some circular motion. After that, I also give a little massage with my finger around to help the dark circle disappear. 

Besides the applicator, I'd said that Laneige Eye Sleeping Mask has a good formula in it. I've bought the travel size before and used it while traveling. As you know, while traveling we'd have a less bedtime and it made our eyes looks tired. However, since I used Laneige Eye Sleeping Mask, I didn't have that tired looking eyes during the trip. And that's the reason why I bought the full size and use it every night.

Heimish Hydrogel Eye Patch Bulgarian Rose Water

The last product that I use for my eyes is an eye patch. It comes from Heimish which is a Korean brand for skincare. I never used eye patch before and I didn't even know it was exist. Until I watched a beauty blogger introduced this product at social media and it looks promising. I bought it immediately and tried to use it. Since the first usage, I felt this eye patch was really refreshing my tired eyes. It has a cooling sensation and a rose scent which are relaxing. The formula also really helps to hydrate the skin area around my eyes. Every time my eyes looks very tired, I always use this eye patch and after that it looks much better. Besides, Heimish Hydrogel Eye Patch also contains Niacinamide which usually can be found at brightening skincare. So hopefully, with regular use it can get rid of my dark circles.

Well, that's all the eye treatment that I use lately to help me with the tired eyes problem. But using all those treatment doesn't mean you can sleep late anytime you want. You still need enough time to sleep because when you sleep, your skin also "take a rest" and it will looks fresh -naturally- after you wake up.

I got new skin problems when I'm going 30, and this is how I treat it (Part 3 : Dry Skin)

Skincare for dry skin

Hi beautiess,,
It took a quite long time to continue write about this topic, but finally I gonna share with you about how I treat the third skin problem that I had (which also the last one) - dry skin. But before that, make sure you also read the first part (wrinkles) and the second part (pimples and freckles).

Dry skin - like freckles, I had this problem since I was a kid, and it really hard to get rid of it. I've used some skin care that really works to moisturized my skin such as Laneige Water Sleeping Mask, but somehow lately I could see some flaky skin on my face. It's really annoying for me. Dry lips, dry skin, I always have these problems and they always ruin my make up look. No matter how great and expensive make up that I used, it always ended cracked - not smooth at all.

Looking at this situation, I decided to change my skin care and also added some new skincare as recommended by some beauty expert. Here's the list of the new skin care that I use to treat dry skin problem :

• Senka Perfect Whip Collagen in

It was the first time I changed my facial wash after years. I had doubt at first about change this product, because I have a very sensitive skin. I can't use a facial wash with a lot of foam, because it cause my skin get drier and feels very tight. Even sometimes, a facial wash with a very "strong" ingredients can irritate my skin and it's uncomfortable. Therefore, when I found a facial wash that didn't make my skin dry, I'll keep using it and never thought to change it with other cleansing product.

However, lately I decided to change my facial wash because the sign of aging on my skin is getting worse. I need a "boost" of collagen to keep my skin stay young. Collagen has a lot of benefit for skin - hydrating, firming, anti aging, and many more. When I found Senka Perfect Whip Collagen in Japan, I was really excited and gave a big expectation to this facial wash. Looking at its function, I realized this facial wash is not only clean my face, but it also give collagen which is good to get rid the sign of aging. Well, this facial wash works as I was expecting. Even though it has a lot of foam, but it doesn't make my skin feels tight and get drier after the usage. It's been 2 months after use this facial wash. Even though I still haven't feel the benefit of collagen, but I wish it will show a good changes soon.

• Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum ex

Sulwhasoo is a famous luxury skincare brand from Korea. They use natural ingredients as their main ingredients, and the benefit has been proven by many people. Among their products, there's one product which become their bestseller and always recommended to keep your skin hydrated. It's Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum Ex. When I heard about it at the first time, I thought it works as other serum. But it's not. It works as a booster for the next skin care that you use. So after use this, you still need to use other serum on your skincare routine.

Basically, it has the same function with SK II Facial Treatment Essence and Laneige Clear-C Advanced Effector EX , which is for boost the next skincare so it can work optimally. Besides as a booster, this serum also can be used to hydrated your skin. I just knew about it after read this article by Chriselle Lim.

Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum ex has a "thick" texture - not watery like at essence. But it's not as thick as cream, so it can absorbed easily after we use it on our skin. This texture makes it more hydrating than using other essence.

• Nature Republic Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel

It's a new product that I use to treat a dry skin problem, and I'm pretty sure you already know about it. This gel is very popular because it can be used for everything. Not just for hydrates your skin (face and body), but it also magically can be used to make your eyelashes grow longer. At first I didn't interested with this product because it's a Korean medium - low brand which sometimes didn't show any changes on me. But I was desperately to find a good skincare to hydrates my skin, and I decided to give it a try. Well, I didn't dissapointed at all. I used it every night after serum as a night cream, and it really hydrates my skin without make it feel greasy. I like its cooling sensation, which can makes me feel relax at the night time.

Looking at the list above, you'll realize that all of them are Asian beauty products. After a long research, I just knew that Asian people love to make their skin extra hydrated. Especially for Japanese and Korean people, which have an extremely cold weather during winter. It's the reason why their products are perfect to treat dry skin problem.

Well, those are products that I used to hydrates my skin. Beside that, I also use some extra skincare such as Laneige Water Sleeping Mask Lavender, Saborino sheet mask, Fresh Rose Face Mask, and also Fresh Sugar Face Polish. Using mask at least twice a week really helps to hydrate your skin. When I feel my skin is very dry and need a special treatment, I used one of them to restore the hydration on my skin.

I got new skin problems when I'm going 30, and this is how I treat it (Part 1 : Wrinkles)

My new skincare products

Have you read my previous blogpost?? Well, at that post I wrote that I have a lot of beauty content that I'd write on my blog. I had this because of one reason : Lately I got so much problem on my skin, and I need to change (almost all) my skincare. It's been few months for me to try those new skincare, and I'm ready to review all of them. For the next few days, I'll write some posts about reviews of those products, based on the problems that I had. This topic will be divided into 3 parts, where each parts will discuss about 1 problem. First, I'll write about the main problems that I really worry about, and I didn't expect to get it when I'm going 30.

Fine lines, smile lines, wrinkles
OK, I start with the worst skin problem, which I shouldn't get on my age (I just 27). But these things are real!! I had fine lines before (precisely few years ago), and I could get rid of them by using SK II Facial Treatment Essence. Ever since then, I never forget to put this product into my skincare routine.

A few months ago, I started to see a smile line appearance on my face, and it's really disturbing. It always make a crack after few hours I wear make up and its horrible. Not just that, I also spot some fine lines under my eyes, which also disturbing as well. Since I saw these lines, I changed my skincare from brightening products into anti aging products. At this point I realized one thing,

"Step into 30 years old, you need skincare with anti aging effects more than brightening effects. Because you can use make up to make your face looks brighten instantly, but it's really hard to cover wrinkle and any fine lines on your face."

Therefore, I changed my serum and also my eye cream. For the serum, I use Kate Somerville Wrinkle Warrior 2-in-1 Plumping Moisturizer + Serum in the morning and Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair for at night. These products known as the best anti aging skincare with medium range price (not cheap but also not too expensive), compared to other brand such as SK II. These serums work really well, and they reduce the appearance of smile lines. I love Kate Somerville Wrinkle Warrior - because as you can read on its name, it contains moisturizer and serum in 1 bottle. So it's perfect to be used at the morning rush. However, this product is not really hydrating. Therefore, I use other product for at night, which more hydrating - Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair.

Best serum for at night : Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair

To be honest, I've been eyeing on this product for a long time. Almost everyone put this serum on their night skincare routine. Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair promising to treat any skin problems, while you're sleeping at night. Smoother, more radiant, and younger look, those sounds amazing and I really need it. As people said, this serum is really works. I wake up every morning with smooth and bright skin, and it also helps to reduce the fine lines. However, there's one thing that I don't like from this serum, it's the smell. There's no any fragrance added on this serum, so the smell comes from the main ingredients and it's not good. It smells like rubber or plastic, and sometimes it makes me almost throw up. But since this product really works to treat my skin problems, I'll keep using it and put it on my night skincare routine.

The jar size of Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Eye Cream is so "mini". Easy to bring for traveling.

Besides serum, I also change my eye cream. As you know, my very first eye cream was SK II Stempower Eye Cream - which really can be used to reduce wrinkle around my eyes, and then I changed into Caudalie Premier Cru The Eye Cream - which known as an eyecream that helps to loose dark circle. Well, this time I try new eye cream which promising could get rid of any problems around your eyes such as dark circle, wrinkle, and even puffy eyes. It's Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Eye Creme. At the first time I was really surprised to see the "Before - After" picture of this eye cream. I have these problems for years and I still couldn't find any eye cream that could fix it. Therefore, when I found out about this eye cream, I have feelings it can help me out. And it's true! Even though still there's some fine lines, but the dark circle under my eyes start to disappeared. I've use this eye cream for a month, and it shows a good progress. So far this is the best eye cream I ever tried, and I think it's gonna be my favorite eye cream.

My skincare to get rid of wrinkles and any fine lines on my face

Well, that's all the new products that I use to treat the appearance of wrinkles on my face. I really satisfied with the result and would recommend this anti aging products for all of you who's just going to 30 years old.

... to be continued  to the next part...

Laneige Water Sleeping Mask [Lavender]

Hi all.. Still talking about beauty, this time I gonna write about the new version of Laneige Water Sleeping Pack which comes in lavender. Before I continue, I think all of you must be already know about the benefit of this bestseller product from Laneige. However if you don't know, you can read my blog post about the original version of Laneige Water Sleeping pack in here. FYI, I've used this sleeping pack for years, and it still be one of my favorite skincare.

Since I've written the detail about this product, this time I just want to compare the difference between the original version with the new variant - lavender. All of us must be think the difference only at the fragrance. And that's not wrong. They both have the same function. However, beside the fragrance, they also have a little bit difference in phisically.

1. The jar's color
Since the new variant comes in lavender, Laneige produce this new variant in jar with purple color. It looks different with other Laneige product which usually dominant with blue color. Yet it looks beautiful and makes me want to buy it and put on my skincare shelf.

2. The cream's color
Well, this point was little bit surprising me. Since the original version comes in blue jar and it has a light blue color for the cream, I was expecting the lavender variant also comes in purple color. But it's not. Unpredictably, the cream comes in transparant - white color. However, it has the same texture with the original version, which is very good to hydrate your skin.

3. The spatula / spoon
This different might be not so important. But I just love the way Laneige change their product. When the "old" products just use a simple flat white spatula, the new one use a very small and cute transparant plastic spoon.

The new small spoon as an applicator. Can you spot the "Laneige" emboss on it?

4. The fragrance
Just like I wrote above, they have different fragrance. I knew it gonna comes in lavender smell. But at the first time, I thought they'd come in a very strong smell of lavender, like a smell that usually found at natural lavender products. Well, I was wrong. It has a very soft lavender smell, which is very good for relaxing your mind during sleep time. The smell is very different like I thought, and I love it so much.

Laneige Special Set at Kingpower - Suvarnabhumi Airport

About the price, I'm not sure whether it's more expensive than the original version. Because I got this sleeping pack in a special set that I bought at Suvarnabhumi Airport. If you asked me which one do I like more, I think I prefer the lavender. It's not because I don't like the smell of the original version. But it's because I felt a little bit bored with that fragrance after use it for years. Curious with this lovely lavender smell?? Just try it by yourself and tell me whether you like it or not.

Cleansing, The Most Important Step on Your Skin Care Routine

It's really important to take care of your skin since from young ages. Full skin care routine is very needed to get a healthy and beautiful skin. Many people has different skin care routine to take care of their skin, depend on their skin problems. However, from many steps of skin care, there's one most important step that can't be missed. It's cleansing.

Cleansing more often considered as a not really important step in skin care routines. Usually people will be more focus on serum or cream usage. They think that applying skin care is the key to get a beautiful skin, but it's not. Cleansing is the most important step, that's why it always be the first step on skin care routine. Applying skin care on a dirty skin, only make your skin worse. No matter what, make sure you have a very clean skin before start to use your skin care.

To get a clean skin, you can't just wash it with a facial foam. Especially after using make up. You need to clean it with a few steps of cleanser (known as double cleansing) before start applying skin care. This is an example of double cleansing that I do everyday, with my favorite cleansing products.

1. Remove all makeup on your face
You can skip this step of you don't use any makeup on that day. However, if you wear a makeup, this step is really important to do. A simple cleanser will not clean your makeup properly. You need to use a makeup remover which contains a special ingredients to clean your makeup, even if it's waterproof type. I like to use Sephora Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover for this step, because unlike another makeup remover, the formula is very gently and clean my eye makeup perfectly.

2. Clean the whole face with your favorite cleanser
Before wash your face, you need to clean the whole face with a "special" cleanser. No matter you're wearing makeup or not, this step is a must things to do. Nowadays, there are several type of cleanser such as cleansing oil, cleansing water, or cleansing balm. You can use any type of cleanser based on what you need. If you have a dry skin type, you might want to use cleansing oil. However if you have an oily skin type, you might want to use cleansing water which contains no oil. Personally, I choose to use cleansing water instead if cleansing oil, even though I have a dry skin type. Because if I use cleansing oil as a cleanser, I feel my face is very greasy, and I didn't think it's a good idea to have an oily face after cleansing. For this step, I choose to use cleansing water from Laneige. I love this cleansing water because it really clean my face very well. And like other Laniege's products, this cleanser has a gently formula with a soft smell which makes me feel relax after using it.

3. Wash you face with a facial wash
Well, I think everyone will do this step because generally this step known as the only way to clean your face. I really understand it because it's really simple and even you can do it at the time when you're taking a shower. But sometimes people also skip this step because they thought after using cleanser, their skin is already clean. But it's not. Though you didn't see any makeup or dirt left after using cleanser, you still need to wash it with a facial wash and water, to make it really clean and feel fresh.

Hada Labo Shirojyun Ultimate Whitening Face Wash

For this cleansing step, I choose Hada Labo Shirojyun Ultimate Whitening Face Wash. Hada Labo is a skin care brand from Japan. But this facial wash, is a product that produced by Hada Labo Indonesia. To be honest, it's really hard for me to get a perfect facial wash. I have a dry and very sensitive skin. Every time I washed my face, it felt very tight, even sometimes I felt hurt especially on cheek area. But, I don't feel any same effects with this facial wash. It cleans my face without make it dehydrated. It also doesn't contain any fragrance which is really good for a sensitive skin like I have.

4. Last step, facial toner!
When you're done with washing your face, it doesn't mean you face is totally clean. You need to do the last step of cleansing by using facial toner. There are 2 types of facial toner, for exfoliating and hydrating. Exfoliating toner is perfect for oily and acne prone skin type. Meanwhile, if you have a dry or dehydrated skin type, hydrating toner is a good option for you.

Some By Mi 30 Days Miracle Toner

Honestly, I started to put facial toner into my skin care routine for these past few months. I just realized about how important facial toner is. The first toner that I used was Some By Mi 30 Days Miracle Toner , which works as an exfoliating toner. However, since using that facial toner made my skin getting dry, I decided to use a hydrating toner - Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Facial Toner (will write a review about it soon).

Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Facial Toner

That's all the double cleansing routine that I do everyday. Cleansing is very important for help you to get a healthy skin. By using this double cleansing routine, it will reduce appearance of blackhead, whitehead, and pimple. So, don't forget to double cleanse your face before get started with your skin care routine.

Laneige White Dew Tone-up Cream VS Sherbet Cream

Before we ended this September, let me write 1 more post about Laneige products. But this time I will not just write a simple review as usual. Instead, I will compare 2 products from Laniege White Dew series, Tone-up Cream and Sherbet Cream. Keep reading girls ^^

Laneige White Dew Tone-up Cream and Sherbet Cream

If this is your first time with Laneige White Dew series, it'll be better if you read my review about Laneige White Dew Tone-up Cream, the first cream that launched together with White Dew series. I've written about this cream completely, so you'll understand about the function of Tone-up Cream. As the time goes by, lately Laneige just launched a new cream from that series, named Laneige White Dew Sherbet Cream. Some of you might be confused about these products. Well, let me help you to answer all of your questions.

What's the difference between Tone-up Cream and Sherbet Cream?
In simple words, Tone-up Cream, works as an instant whitening cream. After using this cream, you'll see the result just in seconds. The texture also very light, make it easy to blend. Even though it's claimed can hydrates your skin, I don't feel that way. Perhaps it's because I have a very dry skin and Tone-up cream is not designed to "fix" a dry skin problem. It's just work as a brightening cream - that's all.

Laneige White Dew Sherbet Cream

Meanwhile, Sherbet Cream has a very different texture with Tone-up Cream. It's very thick, and doesn't have any "color" - so it won't make your skin get brighter instantly. As you can see at the picture above, Sherbet Cream has a very rich texture, and yessss..... it's really hydrating. It's gonna be helpful to fix a dry skin problem as well. However, I won't recommend to use it in the morning, because the texture is too greasy. It will makes your face looks oily, even if you have a dry skin. That's why I use this as a night cream, to keep my skin hydrated during sleep at the Air Conditioned room.

Sherbet Cream vs Tone-up Cream

Are they really work as a whitening cream?
If you read my previous post about Laneige White Dew VIP Trial Kit, you'll know that the product from White Dew series that really gives a good result is the Original Ampoule Essence. I could see the brightening effect by using this essence only in 3 weeks. However, I won't say Tone-up Cream & Sherbet Cream are not showing a good result. I just finished my first jar for each cream, so I couldn't judge them. But, I just repurchased for them both, and I'll update it on my new instagram account @talkinboutbeauty for the result after finish the second jar. And a little tips from me, if you want to get a brighter skin tone faster, you might want to use the essence as well to boost up the whitening effect from the cream.

Which one is better? Tone-up Cream or Sherbet Cream?
You can't ask like that because they are completely different types of cream. But if you really want to try, I suggest you to try them both. Use Tone-up Cream in the morning to increase your skin tone instantly, and use Sherbet Cream at night to keep your skin moisturized.

After apply them on my hand. Can you spot the different?? The right side with Tone-up Cream looks brighter than the left side with Sherbet Cream.

(Note : I just made @talkinboutbeauty on Instagram, special for talking about beauty. Make sure you follow that account to keep update with the newest skin care review, make up, and other things about beauty)

Laneige White Dew VIP Trial Kit

Laneige White Dew VIP Trial Kit

Before I start to write a review, let me tell you a short story about my activities at this week :

Lately, my children and I were sick. We got cold and a very bad wet cough. This condition made us only stay at home, and took a lot of rest. I didn't went out, only took care of my children, cooked healthy food, prepared a lot of medicines, and not forgetting to check their body temperature every 15 minutes because sometimes fever also came. Honestly, those days made me feel bored and it was very hard for me. All those "activities" was driving me crazy until I had no enough - good quality bedtime. However, when the kids were sleeping, I have a little bit time for take a rest. At that time, I opened my photos on the camera, and upload it into my instagram's feed. This time I still work on my pictures from the last summer trip to Canada. Well, you might think it's too late and weird because I've back to my home 2 months ago, and it's still unfinished. Well, I'm a perfectionist person, and I want my post looks perfect (not just the picture, but the caption too). And if you see my itinerary, you'll know that I didn't have time to do that during the trip. That's why I always post about my trip after back home.

Now you might be confused and wondering, "What's the connection between that story and the title of this blog post?". So, when I was looking at the gallery on my camera, I just found some photos about Laneige White Dew VIP Trial Kit, which I brought on my Bali trip. It was around 7 months ago and I just realized that I haven't write a review on my blog about these products. Now, let's start to read about this travel set.

If you ever read my older blog posts, you'll know that I always use Laneige White Dew Tone Up Cream everyday. Beside that, you also will know that I wanted to try another products from this series as well, to fasten the result and brighten my skin tone, permanently. When I was seeing a trial kit from this series, I thought it's the right time to try it. This trial kit consists of 2 products from White Dew series : Tone Up Cream and Original Ampoule Essence. Since I've written about Tone Up Cream, this time I only gonna write about the essence.

Laneige White Dew Original Ampoule Essence is one of a must product from White Dew series. This essence used after toner, and before day cream (or Tone Up Cream). Like other essence products, it has a transparant color. However, it has a gel texture, which made me think it's gonna hard to absorb. Because all I know, essence always comes in water (such as SK II Facial Treatment Essence). In fact, even though it has a gel texture, but it's very light, and easy to absorb. I really love it because I realized this texture can hydrate my skin.

Laneige White Dew Original Ampoule Essence has a gel texture

First time I used it was in Bali, and I didn't see any result. Maybe because it's just 4 days, so I didn't feel any difference on my face. Next, I used it again for around 3 weeks on my summer trip to Canada, and I started to see the result. It hydrated my skin, and also make it looks brighter. The other things that I like from this essence is, it balanced my skin tone before using tone up cream, so my skin didn't looks pale. And the last, the brightening effect didn't disappear, even after I washed my face. I still could see my bare face  looks brighter and I satisfied with it.

Tone-up Cream vs Original Ampoule Essence

The result if I blend it together. It stilll unfinished, but as you can see, it doesn't have much difference with my skin tone.

Why I only use this essence while traveling, and not use it as my everyday skin care??
First, I still use other essence product at home, and I want to use it until finish to see the result. Second, I only have this essence on travel size which is very small, and it's perfect for traveling. FYI, I always bring a very light skin care products while traveling, and mostly on travel size. I hate to bring a full size skin care while traveling, because I know I'll buy more beauty products at that time, and I need a lot of space for that :P

My only skin care during holiday in Bali

However, after finish my current essence, I'll buy the full size of Laneige White Dew Original Ampoule Essence, because it had shown a good result and it's perfectly match with the Tone Up Cream.

Laneige Special Set - Exclusive at King Power Duty Free Suvarnabhumi Airport

Behind the box

Well, it's not a secret if duty free shop has the cheapest price. So everytime at the airport, I always spend more time to shopping a beauty products, both for skincare and make up. It also happened while I was having a layover on my last winter trip to Japan. I took flights using Thai Airways, which requires me to layover at Suvarnabhumi Airport. The layover time itself was quite long, so I used this time to explore more at duty free shop.

By that time I was looking at Laneige section, and found this package. At the first time I couldn't believe with what I saw. The price is very cheap for these whole products. Not just me who thought it's very cheap, but also other peoples next to me and they bought 3 boxes immediately. Actually I wanted to buy some boxes too because I always use Laneige products, and it's a good investment. However I have a limited space so 1 box was enough. Want to know what's included in the box?? Check them out!!

• Laneige Water Sleeping Pack ---> My very first Laneige product, and I am so deeply in love with it. You can read more about it here.
• Laneige Water Sleeping Pack ---> The new version if the originial water sleeping pack, with lavender fragrance. Just want to try it next week, stay tune for the review.
• Laneige BB Cushion Whitening SPF 50++ No. 21 Beige (2pcs) ---> Also one of my holy grail product from Laneige, and I have wrote a review about it here. Despite the different packaging, they are the same products with the same function. Since I use this cushion everyday, I feel so glad to get 2 boxes of this BB Cushion, with a refill in each box.
• Eye Sleeping Mask ---> Not the cream one which is the newest product from Laneige. It's an eye cover that people usually use while traveling. But I don't like to use it, so I just gonna keep it.
• BB Cushion Pad (3 pcs) ---> It's a WOW, isn't it?? Don't you see the packaging, it was so cute.. And I really need all of them because Winston likes to play with my stuff and breaks everything..

So, that's all I got from this package.. What do you think girls?? Is it good enough?? Anyway, if you have any experience while shopping at duty free shop, such as found an exclusive yet affordable package, you can share it on the comment below.. See ya ~
