K-Beauty Products from YesStyle: Skincare Edition

February 1, 2023 / lolitaland / Leave a comment

In today’s post, I’m going to go over my favorite K-Beauty skincare products from YesStyle. These are all products I’ve used and absolutely love! If you shop at YesStyle, be sure to use my code 3PEARLS for an additional 5% off your order — yes, you can layer this on top of any ongoing sales and discounts!

FRUDIA – Pomegranate Nutri-Moisturizing Serum – This is the most recent addition to my skincare routine. It’s a great serum to add additional moisture to your skin! This is great for the winter months. You can read my full review of this product in my Instagram post here.

NEOGEN – Dermalogy Bio-Peel Gauze Peeling Wine – I’ve been using this product for about 2 years now, and I love it! It’s a gentle gauze that you can use for a gentle at-home peel. I’ve never tried a peeling facial at a professional salon, so I’m not sure how this compares to a professional facial, but it works great for my sensitive combination skin. I’ve never found any irritation. The gauze also is 2-sided so you can choose which side you want to use (or you can use both!). So easy to use and it’s super fast so you can do it even when you’re short on time.

BANILA CO – Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm Original – This is my favorite cleansing balm product! It’s creamy and gentle, and it even removes stubborn waterproof eye makeup. It hasn’t irritated my eyes like some other makeup removing products. Highly recommend using this as a first step of cleansing, and then using your face wash or cleanser of choice as a second step at night.

LANEIGE – Water Sleeping Mask – This is my favorite sleeping mask and I use it every winter! I’m currently using their lavender version, which one of my friends gave me as a birthday present. This is the original version, which I used last winter. You apply this mask as the last step of skincare at night, and it doesn’t feel like a mask — it feels more like a moisturizer. It absorbs quickly into the skin and it doesn’t get messy; you don’t have to worry about the mask getting on your pillow when you sleep. In the morning, you wash your face with water and you’re done!

MAY COOP – Raw Sauce – I sometimes try other toners, but this is one of my all-time favorites! I love that it’s a combo toner, emulsion, and essence. It’s literally 3 steps of the Korean skincare routine combined into 1 step! Perfect for busy days where you just want to use this and your moisturizer and you’re done.

COSRX – Acne Pimple Master Patch Set – Whenever I see acne popping up, I stick one of these patches on and it’s gone the next day or within two days (I use the patches at night). So convenient! It’s also great for travel since you can bring one of these with you without any issue in your carry-on bag. The patches are basically round stickers and you stick one on top of the acne.

NEOGEN – Dermalogy Real Fresh Foam Green Tea – This is my favorite cleanser! I’ve been trying lots of different cleansers, but I want to go back to this one. It’s a gentle foaming cleanser that makes your skin feel fresh! I love that there’s real green tea leaves in the bottle. Such a cool touch! The foaming dispenser works fantastic as well and always gives you the perfect amount to cleanse your whole face with just one pump.

THE FACE SHOP – Real Nature Face Mask – One of my favorite sheet masks! The Face Shop Real Nature series has so many options. My personal favorites are the aloe, green tea, honey, lotus, rice, and tea tree masks. They’re so easy to use — just open them up, put one on your face after your toner, leave on for 10-15 minutes, and then remove and pat the remaining essence into your skin. Be sure to save the packets too — there’s always extra essence in there which I use on my neck and arms.

COSRX – Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence – This essence is an affordable product featuring luxury ingredients. It absorbs quickly into the skin, and is safe for sensitive skin (it’s fragrance-free and doesn’t contain any paraben, artificial color, and other unsafe ingredients. There’s 96%. concentration of snail mucus extract in it.

Igloo Spa: Volume Gel Nail Strips Review

September 7, 2022 / lolitaland / Leave a comment

Have you ever tried volume gel nail strips? I honestly don’t pay muc I recently tried Igloo Spa for the first time and was surprised by how easy these nail strips are! If you’d like to try this product too, use the discount code “WELCOME” to get 10% OFF.

When you open up the box, you’ll find 2 sheets with nail strips of different sizes. This way, you can match up the nail strips to your own nails for a personalized fit. Your Igloo Spa box will also have an alcohol pad and a nail file included.

Here are the steps I took for applying these nail strips:

I washed my hands and then used the alcohol prep pad to clean the surface of all my fingernails.
I peeled the Igloo Spa nail strips, one at a time, off from the clear film to apply directly on my clean fingernails. When applying the nail strips to my nail surface, it’s just like a sticker! It was simple to stick it on, and I applied some pressure to help it adhere to my nails.
Using the included nail file, I filed away the excess nail strips.
After I was done with filing all the excess nail strips away, I applied a clear nail polish as a top coat.

Check out the results:

Feedback for myself: be more patient with filing down! I accidentally filed the surface of the nail strips as well, as you see above. So next time I apply these volume gel nail strips, I’ll be more careful so they look neater.

All in all, the process for the Igloo Spa Volume Gel Nail Strips was super easy! These lasted for about a week before they started peeling off. They will likely last longer for you if you don’t use your hands too much. I wash my dishes by hand and also type on a laptop everyday for work, so my nails wear down pretty quickly. It was easy enough to stick new nail strips on when they started peeling off. When I stuck new ones on, I was at LI Tropic Con and didn’t have my clear nail polish with me. Even without a top coat of clear nail polish, they lasted through the convention and still looked shiny and pretty. These nail strips definitely last longer than regular nail polish, and they aren’t damaging like gel nails with UV lamps. The pre-made nail art is so pretty and fun too! To remove the strips, you simply peel them off your nail. And the best part is: there’s no damage at all!

I recommend these nail strips if you are looking for a fun and easy way to apply nail art without damaging your natural nails. Remember you can use the new customer discount code “WELCOME” to get 10% OFF. 🙂

How do you usually do your nails? Would love to hear in the comments below!

Wishtrend: #TeamCombination Box Review

April 1, 2022 / lolitaland / Leave a comment

As some of you may know, I have combination skin. Wishtrend sent me the #TeamCombination Box for review. They also have other boxes you can try. For all of the #Team Boxes, you can get 35% off if you purchase by April 3, 2022. You can also use my code “LiLi15” for an additional 15% off your purchase.

Check out my Unboxing Tiktok here. And here is a Tiktok showing the proper order to use the products in the #TeamCombination box. Read on for my experience and when I do each step:

Dear Klairs Gentle Black Fresh Cleansing Oil – This is my first step of cleansing! It removes any makeup I have on. This is a daily step, every night.

2. Dear Klairs Gentle Black Facial Cleanser – This is my second step of cleansing. I do this as my last step when I shower. It is super gentle, no scent, and feels like it cleans my face well without any irritation. This is a daily step, every night.

3. Dear Klairs Gentle Black Sugar Facial Polish – This is my third step of cleansing, but is not a daily step. I’ve been doing this two times a week for a deeper cleanse. It’s gentle and non-irritating.

4. I’m from Honey Mask – This is the only mask in this skincare routine, but is not a daily step. I did this once a week and it definitely feels deeply moisturizing. It smells just like real honey!

5. elmt Gentle Exfoliating Solution – This is the toner step in my skincare routine. It’s a super gentle exfoliant and didn’t irritate my skin at all. It has no scent. This is a daily step, morning and night.

6. By Wishtrend Hydra Enriched Ampoule – This step adds extra hydration. The dropper bottle is great, and a few drops go a long way! This is a daily step, morning and night.

7. Rovectin Clean Lotus Water Cream – This cream is very lightweight! I believe that this cream would be a great fit for oily skin too, and I even recommended this to my mom who has acne-prone skine. The cream is moisturizing without being heavy, and there’s no fragrance. This will be suitable for people with sensitive skin too. This is a daily step, morning and night.

I’d also like to note that I use an eye cream every night, but since there was no eye cream in this box, I continued to use the eye cream I’ve been using previously (not a Korean brand).

After using the products for two weeks, I’m thrilled to announce that all of these Wishtrend products are perfect for Combination Skin! Have you ever tried these products? Share in the comments! If you shop at Wishtrend, be sure to use my code “LiLi15” for 15% off your purchase.
