[Review] VEGREEN Fragrance-free Nature Mucin Serum and VEGREEN 730 Daily Moisture Cream

 Vegreen was kind enough to send me these products for review purpose .  The opinion stated below is honest and 100% my own .  

Vegreen is a cruelty free , Vegan skincare brand currently they have 3 products in their mucin range. Many of you must be familiar with snail mucin in skincare but vegreen uses yam mucin ( hence vegan ) in its skincare. All the products are free from  harmful chemical ingredients. The packaging is great for recycling. 

VEGREEN Fragrance-free Nature Mucin Serum 

This is my favorite product from the two. Housed a very minimalistic plastic bottle. This 50ml serum has a very light weight, transparent gel like texture. It is very easy to spread on the skin.  It is super lightweight and great for oily skin and warm weather. 

Ingredients:

Dioscorea Villosa (Wild Yam) Root Extract 63%, Water, Panthenol 5% Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Niacinamide, 1,2-Hexanediol, Acr ylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Arginine, Xanth an Gum, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Copper Tripeptide-1, Palmit oyl Pentapeptide-4, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Centella Asiatica Leaf Water, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Ceramide NP, Hydrogenated L ecithin, Ethylhexylglycerin.

I have noticed zero fragrance with this serum. It is completely color free and adds a nice layer of hydration to the skin. I like to use both in my day and night skincare routine

VEGREEN 730 Daily Moisture Cream

Creams can be a hit or a miss for me. Some are either too gloopy and sticky or some have a really greasy pore clogging formula. Vegreen on the other hand created a completely different light weight formula which does not suffocates the skin

Ingredients

Water, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Glycerin, Squalane, Glyceryl Stearate Polyglyceryl-2 Stearate, 1,2-Hexanediol Stearyl Alcohol, Carbomer, Arginine, Caprylyl Glycol.

On my oily/acne prone skin this feels very pleasant to use. The hydration is not intense. It is suitable for day use. I prefer this for my makeup as it easily absorbs into the skin and reduces dry flaky skin. 

Vegreen uses Braille on its boxes I find this feature to be very unique and inclusive for blind people

[Review] Etude House Tiny Twinkle Color Eyes

 Disclaimer: This is a limited edition palette which is not available for purchase anymore but I am reviewing it anyways because this is my favorite Eye-shadow Palette

This palette comes in three shades. I got the #01 Rose Gold Ornament because I loved the color variety in the palette

This palette has a beautiful glitter coated cardboard packaging. I was afraid that the glitter will rub off on everything and eventually wear down with use. But I have been using this for 2+ years and it looks the same. 

#01 Rose Gold Ornament: The 9-color eye shadow expresses sparkly twinkle with lovely romantic rose gold tone.

There are a total of 9 colors in the palette

Shade 1: Is shimmery champagne colour , great for highlighting the inner corner or adding a wash of color to the whole lid

Shade 2 . Is a sparkly pink. It has a hint of duochrome effect . This is more of a lid topper.  Applying this to the lids with fingers gives maximum shine/color payoff

Shade 3. A matte mauve brown color. I like to use this to define my crease and lower lid

Shade 4 : this color matches my eyelid so much that I can't even figure out if its there. The stand out point has to be the tiny specks of sparkles

Shade 5 : this is very beautiful rose gold sparkles great to add a festive touch to the eyelook. Fingers work best to apply this eyeshadow

Shade 6:  this is a cinnamon brown color. It is matte and I like this to define my lash line

Shade 7: this is a beautiful shimmery copper color. I use this on its own and it really makes my makeup looks so effortless and put together

Shade 8 :  A beautiful ruddy brown matte shade that works so well as an eyeliner

Shade 9 : and lastly we have a black shade which I rarely use . This is matte color great for smoky eyemakeup or as eyeliner

I like this palette a lot. The colors are versatile and can be used for both casual and formal occasions. I use this everyday to work.

[Review] BADSKIN Hyaluronic Deep Pore Cleansing Oil

 I got this from Jolse last year but because I had so many oil cleansers in rotation at that time. So I kept it in my closet for later use. This is one of the # 1 Trending Cleanser at Hwahae App. Director PI has also mentioned it one of her skincare videos for blackhead removal

Features

Deep cleanses makeups and pores, eliminating sebum and blackheads without stimulation.

Triple hyaluronic acid moisturizes the skin along with other mild ingredients that comfort the skin.

The fresh and light cleansing oil dissolves blackheads, whiteheads, sebum, and dead skin cells smoothly.

The packaging as you can see reminds one of hair dye bottle specially the nozzle design. If you study the bottle carefully you will notice that a lot of thought was put into creating a spill free/ leak free bottle. There is a rotate mechanism on top which controls the oil. Very smart and creative

The oil is designed for dry skin types and I can clearly understand why? ( I will explain that part in a bit) the texture is surprisingly very thin. It almost feels like mineral oil . This spreads very easily and you dont need a large amount to dissolve makeup. I usually take a dime size amount in my palm. And them spread it evenly across my face. It barely takes a minute to emulsify makeup, sunscreen, mascara and lipstick. 

It washes of easily with water but leaves a slight layer of moisture to the skin which prevents the skin from drying out. I have oily skin but as currently I am on tretinoin my skin very dry. This doesn't strips the moisture from the skin and keeps it soft post wash. 

For my blackheads. I give myself a deep 5 minute face massage with this oil every week. This way all the stubborn sebaceous plugs, grit and dirt gets removed from my face. And I don't get clogged pores that often. 

If you have dry /normal skin or you are on topical/oral retinols this is going to work pretty well for you. 

This can be purchased from Jolse.com
