Innisfree Eyebrow Pencil

Similar to Etude House, Holika Holika, and Lioele, Innisfree is a Korean brand that makes its own skin care, body care, as well as make up products. I want to talk about Innisfree’s eyebrow pencil. Innisfree also have an eyebrow powder kit, but I wanted to try something I haven’t tried before. The packaging of the eyebrow pencil is lightweight and has two ends. One side has the product, and the other has a spooly, which makes perfecting the brows very convenient and not to mention, travel friendly. The shape of the product is slanted and rectangular, which makes “feathering” or filling in the brows more precise and controllable. The product itself glides on very nicely; I think it also contains some wax as it enables the hairs to stay in place.

Innisfree Eyebrow Pencil comes in 4 different shades (as shown below). The one I use is 04 (chocolate brown) and I it suits me perfectly with my natural hair colour, which is dark chocolate. The spooley on the other end is really soft, which for some is great. For me personally, it was slightly too soft, which made spreading out product somewhat difficult. I usually end up having to use my other spooley from Watsons to comb my eyebrows at the end. But overall, the product itself is fantastic and before I left China from Christmas break, I've already gotten my backups ;). If you're interested, you can purchase Innisfree through imomoko, YesStyle, Amazon, and other various websites.

shu uemura Cleansing Oils

My mommy is a skincare addict; and growing up with her, naturally I became one too. I was exposed to shu uemura skin care, especially their cleansing oils, way back in middle school, yes middle school. (And I'm now in college.) So after 7 years of using this product, I think it's safe to say that I have a pretty good grip of what I'm doing here. Here's a little background information. shu uemura is a Japanese brand, and unfortunately it could be hard to get you hands on it in the western hemisphere. In Asia, shu uemura is like America's Chanel, Estee Lauder, and Lancome. So yeah, it's pretty huge!

shu uemura is most famous for their cleansing oils; and I believe it is among the first, if not the first, to develop an oil that cleanses. How it works: first you take a pump or two of the product, massage it into your skin, take a little bit of warm water and massage a bit more. The oil will emulsify into a milky color and then you would rinse off. This cleansing oil effectively removes all the makeup on your skin, including waterproof eyeliners and mascaras. I also love how it works so well while being so gentle to the skin. I have oily/acne prone skin and I've always been aware of products that could break me out, especially oils that could potentially clog pores. However, this product does not do so. In fact, not only does it remove the makeup on the surface of my face, but it also clean my pores. I really like how my skin feels after using this product. Like I've said, I've used it for 7 years now and I will continue using it. 

In the same line of cleansing oils, there are actually 6 different types. Each of them have a specific function, in addition to what it's supposed to do. For example, the purple one below, its the "whitefficient clear bright," which lightens up dark spots and brightens your complexion. I have also used the pink one and the green one. All the ones I've tried works wonderfully. There are others and you can see them in the second picture below. I won't go into further detail but you can check them out at shuuemura-usa.com. The price  depends on the size and the specific type you choose. For the pink 450mL bottle it is $67; for the purple 450mL bottle it is $81. So it really depends on the one you choose. Since I only use this product when I need to remove my makeup, a 450mL bottle can last me a whole year. For how well it works, it is totally worth it for me. I will forever be loyal to this product because I love it so much!
