Juju Cosmetics: Aloe Cleanser, Toner & Moisturizer

Aiya.. I thought I would post more often but I guess not.. but I guess here is something to hold you over for a while :P lol

I stopped using Skinfood's Peach Sake line because I am running out of it and I kind of want to save it for days where I go out and wear makeup and want a non oily face. Otherwise when I go to school and stuff I don't really care about how I look that much since I'm only there for a few hours.

**********

My new day routine

Back in July I bought these products from Sasa

I'm finally getting around to using these products now since its cooler out and my skin is starting to get dry particularly on my nose and cheeks.

The Cleanser

Since its a gel cleanser it is clear. Its not a creamy foamy cleanser but it does foam up a little bit. Its unscented and surprisingly not as moisturizing as I would like it to be.

Clear gel

Moisture Aloe Toner (Smooth)

This clear toner is alright it does provide pretty good moisture for this time of year. It is unscented and absorbs quickly. All in all an alright cleanser.

Aloe Moisturizer

This is a pretty heavy moisturizer for me surprisingly. I feel like this weighs down my face for some reason, don't get me wrong this is a good moisturizer but for people with oily skin I don't think it benefits my skin that much. After maybe an hour or two my skin will feel oily >.< and for some reason when I get oily I look tanner... lol

Overall I don't think I would buy these products again but at least I gave them a shot. These are super affordable so why not give it a try?

Obsessions

I guess in a way its like a monthly favorites post? only excludes makeup and skincare products LOL. These are just things that I'm really obsessed with lately LOL.

 MOST FAVORITEST DRINK RIGHT NOW

I love coconut juice! but then I saw this at T & T Supermarket and wanted to try it, OMG never ever going to buy regular coconut juice ever again. I'm totally obsessed! If I were stuck on a deserted island and I could have one drink it would be this.. although the deserted island might have coconuts... -___-' lol

 Organizers

I have no idea why I keep on trying to find new ways to organize my "beauty" drawer? and my clothes but I find it fun as well as finding organizers for everything else in the house lol. I got these drawer organizers from Ikea for like $7 O..O So awesome!

Athena

Its not that I'm obsessed with her, its just I MISS HER!!!!!! T_T we got her last last November but had to give her away because me and Steve didn't have the time to take care of her. Poop I want her back! she was such a sweet puppy.. T_T

I haven't bought much lately but I plan to buy new clothes soon, my pants are having difficulties staying up without a belt LOL but me and Steve are planning on visiting Ashley sometime this month :D so I'll probably go shopping with her then! :D

Also my skin has broken out!! POO!!

 You can kind of see the lumps underneath my skin >.< Not sure what's happening here!
Plus its quite dry right now.. boooo!

Nature Republic Soothing & Moisture Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel

Nature Republic Soothing & Moisture Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel
(what a long name)

I bought this gel about a week or two ago off of Ebay for $9.85 US and it came in the mail pretty quick which I was super happy about :D

I've been using Skinfood's Peach sake line and I knew it would be drying for my skin. I noticed that my skin has been slightly flaky lately, especially on my cheeks and the tip of my nose. For a temporary solution I was using the L'oreal anti-shine gel which didn't really do anything lol.

Size comparison: Bath and Body works 3-wick candle
Vs
Nature Republic Aloe gel
Its HUGE

It's totally filled to the brim
It came with a plastic cover that you have to take off 
so when you first open it it doesn't explode or spill everywhere lol

For like $10 you get a lot of product, if I used it just on my face alone it would probably take a few years lol. But I am also putting it on my arms and chest because my skin has been quite dry lately >.< which I gotta say is working really well.

What Do I Think Of This Product?

I would totally buy this again but I want to compare this with other aloe gels available. It has a mild scent, not too heavy not too light but its pretty distinct and it smells SO GOOD. 
So I'm a pretty happy camper so far :D

Its very light

As soon as you put it on your skin you can feel the cooling/soothing effect and it absorbs wonderfully so you don't really need to use a lot. Plus I love that its so affordable!

Where Can You Get This Product?

As I said before I got this on Ebay for $9.85 US with free shipping and I didn't really explore other buying options. 
 
I checked out Sasa and they don't have it available yet but probably soon.

Amazon has it available for $8.99 US plus about $4.40 for shipping.

I don't think I've seen this product available in local Vancouver stores, I know H-mart has some Korean skincare products available but I've only seen them sell Missha and Laneige.


One thing Nature Republic has to work on:

Their website
Specifically the english part of their website hahaha

I was trying to do a little research about the company and their products so I went to their website, maybe its my browser that couldn't load anything but as far as I know they don't have anything on the english site.. 

On another note I go to Hawaii soon!! WOOOOOO and THERE'S A NATURE REPUBLIC THERE!!!!!!!!!! I will probably buy SO MUCH STUFF lol. Shall I do a giveaway?? Let me know!
