Kiehl’s Truly Targeted Acne-Clearing Solution Liquid Pimple Patch with Salicylic Acid - I’m not impressed with this product. The consistency is slippery liquid that takes too long to dry. I didn’t notice it helped with existing acne much, but I sure noticed that I got even more breakouts on areas where I applied this product. Good, it was only a deluxe sample size.
Shu Uemura Ultime8 Sublime Beauty Cleansing Oil - this cleansing oil works great removing face and eye makeup, it leaves skin smooth, soft and hydrated. And the smells is so luxurious!

Quai Cleansing Scalp and Body Scrub - I got a mini size that was enough to use a few time. First of all, I love the Melrose Place scent, and I’m a big fan of Quai signature scents in general! The scrub itself is sugar based and it’s pretty coarse. It doesn’t dissolve right away. I found that it works best on body, and it’s easier to apply it this way. For hair - it wasn’t very easy to apply it directly to scalp. I personally prefer finer texture scrubs for that purpose.
I probably won’t get a full size of this scrub, but I’m planning to get other products that are Melrose Place scented😉
Petitfee Black Pearl & Gold Hydrogel Eye Patches
I purchased this eye patches from iHerb. I tested a sample prior purchase and liked it. But after getting a full size, my opinion has changed. Unfortunately, I didn’t notice any wow effect with continuous use. Maybe they slightly moisturize under eye area, but that about it. I finished this pack anyway, but won’t repurchase.
Now Food XyliWhite Cinnafresh Toothpaste Gel - I was very curious about this toothpaste since I’ve seen it’s been recommend by those who like to order products from iHerb. This one I purchased from a grocery supermarket, but you can buy it online from iHerb, and they also got other flavors as well. Unfortunately, it’s not my favorite. It cleanses just fine, but the flavor is not refreshing, and since it contains cinnamon the flavor is slightly spicy. Maybe other kinds of this toothpaste are better, but this specific one I won’t buy again.
Dior Backstage Face and Body Foundation
I’ve tested this sample in shades 1N and 2N. Both are too dark and yellow for my skin tone, even though they are in the neutral shade range.
I have this Dior Backstage foundation in the previous version, the shade is the same 1N. As you can see in the renewed version shade didn’t change. But the formula is definitely different. The old one was watery with light coverage. It didn’t provide enough coverage to my liking, but I was still able to wear it.
The new one I can describe as full coverage, and, unfortunately, I didn’t like it at all. While visually it looks good, doesn’t emphasize pores and fine lines, it feels so heavy on skin. My skin type is oily, by the way. It feels a bit sticky, and it can transfer if don’t set it with powder. And, of course, my T-zone got shiny quickly after applying it. By end of the day my skin started to get itchy, and I already couldn’t wait to remove it.
I’m glad there is an opportunity to try a sample. Maybe it’s better for dry skin, but if your skin type is oily, I recommend looking for some other option.
L’Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream - this is an intensely nourishing hand cream with thick texture that is perfect for cold season. I apply it at night before bed, then put cotton skincare gloves on. This way it works best on restoring skin over night. And since it’s so thick and a little sticky, if I wear gloves it doesn’t get rubbed off bed sheet.
I’ve finished this one, and will definitely buy a bigger size for next winter!

Some By Mi Retinol Intense Reactivating Serum - I liked using this serum as a part of my nighttime skincare routine. It’s not drying and no...
