Glamglow: Thirsty Mud

 GLAMGLOW

I was given this hydration treatment at Christmas and I finally got to use it today.

My skin has been so dry since I came back from Hawaii. Some days I totally forgot to put sunscreen on my face so it makes sense that my skin has dried out quite a bit and I didn't bring a good moisturizer with me on our trip.

Dry and flaky

Not sure if you can tell from the photo but my skin is so dry and flaky. I noticed some dryness when I was washing my face but after I washed/exfoliated and dried my face there were so many flakes everywhere and it just felt so dry.

Smells like Playdough lol

For the price ($21) the container is so tiny, I thought this stuff isn't going to last that long but after you use it you realize that a little goes a long way. When I rubbed this into my face it felt tingly, you really notice a difference right away (especially for me since my skin is so dry right now)

You have a few options on how to use this product, you can either put it on and then rinse it off or you can leave it on overnight to really rehydrate your skin. I decided to rinse it off but I think I'm going to try to leave it on overnight to super rehydrate my skin.

It'll probably be a while till I have to purchase this but I know this product will be great for the fall/winter season, that's for sure.

Nature Republic: Blemish Lab Clear + Moisturizer

Slowly but surely changing up my skincare routine since the weather is warming up

I've changed up my skin care routine quite a bit and I've already seen some good results so far!

Skincare Day Routine (in the order I use):

Laneige Pore Deep Clearing Foam

Skinfood Peach Sake Toner

Proactive Repairing Lotion (Nature Republic Blemish Lab Clear + Moisturizer)

Skinfood Peach Sake Pore Serum

Nature Republic Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel

I actually haven't really changed anything from my day routine. The only thing that's changed is that now I use the Nature Republic blemish lab moisturizer.

Skincare Routine Night (old):

Laneige Pore Deep Clearing Foam

Juju Aquamoist Vitamin C Toner

Proactive Repairing Lotion

Juju Aquamoist Whitening Essence

*Random Facial Mask

Skincare Routine Night (Current):

Laneige Pore Deep Clearing Foam

Juju Aquamoist Vitamin C Toner

Nature Republic Blemish Lab Clear + Moisturizer

Nature Republic Original Power Whitening & Lineless Ampoule

*Random Facial Mask

What Do I Think Of This Product?

I can definitely see a difference since I've started using the Blemish Lab Clear + Moisturizer. If I do get pimples they're super tiny and hardly noticeable. Plus I've noticed my skin has gotten softer O_O which I didn't expect at all.

One thing I don't like about this product is the bottle design.

It's hard to get the product out so you gotta shake the bottle quite a bit but the bottle does feel expensive because of the glass but I wish there was a pump. There was a few times where I almost accidentally smashed my bottle -___-' 

When I first bought this product, I thought that it sucked (I tried to replace the Proactive repairing lotion while I was in Hawaii) and that it didn't work but then I realized that my skin SUCKS in hot weather, its too sensitive for warm weather >.< so I'm going to breakout regardless if its hot and humid out. But now that I'm using it at home instead of a hot climate I can see noticeable differences that its making in my skin ^__^

Ok this isn't the best photo lol

Its quite light in comparison the the repairing lotion I used before. It absorbs so well and a little goes a long way. This bottle I think will last quite a while since its quite big O_O But when the weather warms up I'm just wondering how well this product will do. It also has a subtle scent of tea tree oil.

Where Can You Buy This Product?

As I mentioned above I'm having issues trying to find it on the normal sites I usually order from but I did find one place that has it: Korea Depart <-- Click on the link to check it out. I've never actually ordered from this site but I think I'll give it a try soon... but apparently the average shipping cost is like $40 o_O If anyone actually knows where else you can pick up this product let me know!

PS: I think Nature Republic still needs to change their homepage for their english site because its still not loading properly for me, but I did click on a random link and it brought me to a whole random other page where I can get a list of their products... but no product descriptions lol O_O

Maybe I'll ask Steve's mom to send me things... lol

JuJu Cosmetics Aquamoist

O.O A post about Japanese products!

I ordered these products like last year from Sasa and used them for quite a while (like 5 months) Juju is SO AFFORDABLE! I was hoping to find some Juju cosmetic products while I was in Hawaii but T_T no luck and there is a place that sells these products in Vancouver but its like seriously double the price -__-' wtf.

Aquamoist Vitamin C Toner

When I first bought this I thought it was just a moisturizing toner then when I actually got it I noticed at the bottom it said whitening lotion and was like wtf? lol.

 The toner is quite watery which I like. I used a hadalabo toner before I switched to this one and I didn't like that it was thicker plus it made my skin oily. This toner I only use at night because I use the Skinfood Peach Sake line during the day so my skin is matte and not oily.

The toner isn't really scented which is nice, I hate it when you use different products and they're scented so it smells weird in the end lol. Anyways it absorbs really well, I haven't really noticed a whitening effect. It doesn't make my skin oily and it keeps my skin moisturized at night. Plus it doesn't make me break out.

I hesitantly bought this product because I wasn't blown away by the quality of the bottle that the hadalabo essence I used had but I thought I would give it a try anyways.

Right off the bat when I received this product I was surprised how well the quality of the bottle was. So much better than the hadalabo one -__-' and for the same price! lol the pump on this bottle is so much better, it doesn't drag the essence out all over the pump so I was super happy with that. Plus the bottle is glass and not plastic.

The consistency of this product is like ... semen LOL! maybe Steve is tricking me haha, but no seriously its sticky its thick lol its not scented and it absorbs really well. I use this only at night too and did notice some dark spots on my face did fade so I would buy this product again but I still want to see what is out there.

Oh.. This cleanser... lol, I bought this because I had heard good things about it and was super excited when I bought this. I've never used a foam cleanser before so I was a little skeptical in using it.

What I like about this product is the packaging, Juju does packaging really well for its affordable prices ^__^

BUT I didn't like this product lol. If you aren't using a something that will help exfoliate your skin when you cleanse then you will think it doesn't do anything which I thought lol and I'm using a silicone wash pad. It does clean well but I thought that it didn't work well for me. My skin got super oily really fast after using this too >.< so I stopped using it after a few washes.

Overall I would buy the toner and the essence again but I really want to try some other products that they also have ^__^

Where Can You Get These Products?

I bought all of these products on Sasa, I know its available here in Vancouver (specifically aberdeen mall in Richmond) but expect to pay double for what you can pay for on Sasa.

Don't forget you can get these products on Ebay but if you are planning on buying a whole bunch of stuff I would suggest buying it all from sasa because you're gonna get tons of random boxes from ebay sellers lol.

L'oreal Hydrafresh

Its been a while since I've posted anything skincare related.

I bought the L'oreal Gel-creme about a year ago at the local drug store because I thought it was the same as the anti-shine one. I saw lots of beauty guru's on youtube saying how amazing it was at mattifying their skin and how it made their skin stay non-oily during the summer.

It did not work for me. They were both good moisturizers in the summer because they weren't heavy but they did not mattify my skin and my skin became oily after a few hours.

Gel-Creme

I actually prefer the Gel-creme over the anti-shine because it has spf and it is slightly more moisturizing but not mattifying whatsoever.

Anti-shine Gel

if you are going to wear makeup with spf then I would use this but otherwise prepared to get super oily >.< I think maybe because my skin lacks enough moisture to be able to use this properly but that's just my assumption.

My Thoughts

I think if I had ok skin to begin with these two products would work well for me or if I wore mattifying makeup. But because I don't wear makeup I think using it as a general moisturizer didn't work for me. 

I even took this with me to Korea during the summer to which it did not do anything whatsoever lol. I'm glad I actually found the Skinfood Peach Sake line because it actually did mattify my skin, I was really surprised. I thought that no toner/serum would ever mattify my skin but that line proved me wrong.

I wouldn't buy this again just because I know I can get something better for a better price as well... but everyone is different so if it doesn't work for me it doesn't mean it won't work for you.

Where Can You Get This Product?

I bought the Creme-gel one at the local Shoppers Drug Mart you can probably get it at Target or Wal-mart.

I bought the Anti-shine gel on Sasa for about $18 at the time. You can probably buy it on ebay because I couldn't find one.
