Heimish Black Tea Mask Pack Review

Reuniting with my favorite brand after a long time. I have been testing this Mask from Heimish for a while and the experience was great. First off I would like to give them 10/10 for the black tea inspired packaging. Secondly this smells like black tea so this makes the sensory experience even more good. 

This gel-like mask applies easily and washes off cleanly. Heimish's Black Tea Mask Pack can be used any time during the day -- we particularly like it as a morning mask for its effectiveness to reduce early morning puffiness and to nourish fatigued skin.

The mask has a gel cream like texture which confused me initially. I re-read the whole box to figure out if it was a leave on mask or wash off mask. After extensive reading I was reassured that this was indeed a wash off mask. The box comes with a nice plastic spatula to scoop out a product. I scooped a generous amount to cover my face . The gel was easy to spread. I left the mask on for 20mins overall it felt nice, a little cooling ( perfect for summer). It was easy to wash it off as well. I used luke warm water and it came off easily. 

This mask is great for instant boost of hydration and to depuff the face. I have reserved this for days when I am short on time and I need something to make my skin soft and smooth. I haven't noticed much progress with my pores so far. But green tea usually helps a lot with sebum and pores so it is a work in progress.

Heimish became operational in 2016. Its Artless Glow base has won numerous awards.  Heimish focuses mainly on enhancing the natural beauty

ROMAND Better Than Palette Peony Nude Garden + ROMAND Zero Velvet Tint Vintage Filter Review

 I have reviewed quite a lot of products from Romand. I love their diverse color palettes and the amazing color payoff. The collaborations they do time to time are pretty good . I have purchased two palettes from Rom&nd already today I will be reviewing one of their latest releases the Peony Garden Pallete and the Vintage Filter Tint

ROMAND Better Than Palette Peony Nude Garden 

The packaging is really beautiful. A clear acrylic lid to displays all the eyeshadows. It is simple and chic. 

Description

The eye shadow palette consists of 10 stunning matte and glitter shades to create a variety of looks. Palette color range includes shades in five levels of brightness intensity to allow color layering for a well-defined eye contouring look. Super-fine glitter particles apply smoothly onto the eyelids without fallout. Features a wide spectrum of colors to suit skin tone.

I picked this palette because I love the cool tone shades in this palette. I have a lot of eye shadow palette in my collection. But this is only one which contains such beautiful  Peony inspired pink /mauve shades. 

The Peony Garden is cool tone palette which contains mostly matte shades. There are two glitter/ pearl shades ( a gorgeous icy sparkly glitter shade and an iridescent pink color with pearl like sheen ) All shades are pigmented and easy to apply. You can create multiple eyelooks with a single palette as all the shades coordinate with each other. I haven't noticed heavy fallout or chalky payoff from any of the shades. 

ROMAND Zero Velvet Tint Vintage Filter in Nerd Pink

Romand makes one of the best liptints. There blur tints are very comfortable too. I saw these on instagram a few months ago and wanted the Pink Nerd shade because it looked so pretty on the model

A faded filter that finds your own mood.Natural color slightly faded in the spring sun!

Romand Zero Velvet has a beautiful airy texture. The applicator has a nice shape which makes it super easy to apply. Velvet tints can often look streaky and patchy on the lips but this actually is very smooth on the lips and does not dry out the lips at all.  I expected the color to be more pink but its more of a mauve shade with berry undertones. The color really goes well with my complexion and is the perfect shade for fall/winter. This is now my favorite lip shade and I reach for it pretty much everyday

IM UNNY Makeup Review

 Today I am reviewing two products from the brand IM UNNY. There products are affordable and they have a lot of variety to choose from 

IM UNNY Watery Rose Makeup Base

I picked this one because of the silicon free claim. Right now a lot of people are on the fence over silicones in cosmetic products so overall the approach is quite good since many people want silicon free products

A silicone-free makeup primer that does not irritate skin. The balm-like texture melts upon application to skin. Infused with Rosa Damascena Flower Extract, Evening Primrose Flower Extract, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract and more for a cooling and soothing effect

This is a skin smoothing primer. The texture looks like a putty in the glass jar (which by the way is really chic and beautiful) but on the skin it feels like water. This gives cooling sensation and smells faintly if roses. Only small amount is needed to cover the face.  Many pore filling/skin smoothing primers are drying on the skin this however is complete opposite and feels so hydrating on the skin . One problem I have faced with this product is that you have to really work it into the skin else it pills easily. Overall I like it for everyday use. It makes my skin look flawless and airbrushed..

IM UNNY Melting Blush

I am into cream/balm based blushes these days. So this was a very exciting purchase for me. 

A multi-purpose cream blush that can be used as blusher, lipstick, and eyeshadow.F or easy, seamless application .Dries to a velvety finish.

The texture is smooth it feels like gel, translucent and lightweight. Super essy to apply. Just swipe your fingers into the pan and dab it across the cheeks to get a light wash of color. I bought this in pink color which is not too pigmented. What I love about this blush is that your can never overdo it ( it is not buildable / so no clown cheeks) . This color in particular may not be visible on deeper skin color but on my light skin it shows up fine. 

Overall very happy with both of these products . I would love to try more the brand in future as I am very impressed

ELROEL Pang Pang Big Sun UV Shield Review

 I have been testing out a lot of sunscreens this year. this one from Elroel stands out from the rest because of its cuhsion packaging. Now I love cushion foundations a lot . I have reviewed so many on my blog already. But this is my first time reviewing a sun cushion. 

The packaging as you can see slim but the pact is quite large than an average cushion. The tear drop shaped puff is big as well so it covers a lot of surface area on the face. Overall I love the bright yellow details. It is so cheerful and cute

Details: 

A triple function sun cushion that provides UV protection, brightening and anti-wrinkle effects. Provides SPF50+ PA++++ UV protection grade that effectively blocks UV rays. Contains 400,000ppm of aloe vera leaf juice that soothes irritated skin. Contains 5 vitamins and 10 herbal extracts that provide skin recovery effects. With a long-lasting moisturizing effect for 36 hours that instantly decreases the skin temperature by 4.7 degrees. Provides 8-proof effects UVA, UVB, Water-proof, Sand-proof, Sweat-proof, Activity-proof, Fine dust, Blue light that perfectly protect the skin against various external stimuli.

This contains a healthy balance of pigments and physical sunscreen . So you get a nice tone up effect  the face. If foundation free look is what you prefer these days, you are going to enjoy this cushion sunscreen a lot. I personally love to wear this when going out for grocery shopping, daily walk or day to day chores. It is very moisturizing and also a bit of coverage/color to the face. The best part is that this sunscreen is moisturizing. My skin is very dry at the moment and a lot if physical sunscreens accentuate the dry patches on my face. This on the other hand is quite hydrating and works well with my dry flaky skin. Overall I am quite happy with this sunscreen and I keep this in my purse for re-application during the day

[Review] TONYMOLY - Propolis Tower Barrier Enriched Cleansing Balm

I like cleansing balms from tony moly. They are cost effective.  Come in cute packaging and work so well at a fraction of price. I reviewed Tony Moly Green Tea Cleansing balm on my blog last year and that post was quite well received so here I am , reviewing another cleansing balm from Tony Moly

The price fo this balm varies store to store . You can get it at 10-15$  ( on sale) . Packaging is pretty simple and fuss free. A small plastic jar and a decent size spatula to scoop out the product. What else can you ask for ? 

Removes makeup residues and skin impurities without the need to use other removers or cleansing oils.Formulated with Tower Barrier™ to soothe, nourish and strengthen the barrier of weakened skin.Melts into oil to offer gentle cleansing while giving a relaxing honey fruity scent.

How to use:

1. Scoop a small amount onto clean, dry hands and warm between your fingers.

2. Apply to your face and massage gently until makeup residues start to melt.

3. Add water to emulsify the balm and rinse off thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Product has a slight honey yellow tinge. It becomes unnoticeable once you rub it on the palms of my hand . I usually scoop quarter size amount for my face and it is enough to remove all the sunscreen, waterproof lipstick and mascara. I have noticed a faint sweet scent of this balm . I checked the ingredients list and I believe shea butter and vanilla extracts are the factors contributing to this. You don't need much to remove makeup. A little goes a long way. I am not sure how this holds up in summer but in winters it is solid and easy to scoop. Some balms tend to leave an oily residue on the face. This however washes clean and leaves no oily residue behind. Overall I am pretty happy with this cleansing balm. I would recommend you to try this. It is very affordable and friendly for long trips. You can purchase TONYMOLY Propolis Tower Barrier Cleansing Balm 100g

ELROEL - Blanc Cover Cream Stick + ELROEL - Blanc Cover Mela Stick MX review

 Today I am reviewing a makeup product which may look outrageous on first sight. But has a really cool feature which can amaze the people around you. We all want the foundation / base makeup to match our skin color ? Right. No one likes white cast right ? What if I introduce you all to a makeup product which looks white in packaging but once blended into the skin . Turns into skin color ? Shocking right ? Today's Review is on two stick products from Elroel Cosmetics

About the Brand:

With a name that is a portmanteau of “Elegant Romantic Elle,” Korean brand ELROEL offers high-quality products to help women discover their true beauty and achieve healthy skin. Launched in 2020, the brand's products reflect the expertise of ELROEL’s creative director and K-Beauty artist Yoo Yang-hee. 

Packaging is quite luxe and elegant ELROEL - Blanc Cover Cream Stick V comes in a chic glittery black packaging with gold details while the ELROEL - Blanc Cover Mela Stick MX comes in a sweet pink packaging with gold accent. On one end there is a paste white stick based product. While on the other side there is a high quality blending brush. The bristles are rounded, soft and really good at buffing the foundation into the skin. The small size makes it super easy to reach all the corners of the face.

ELROEL - Blanc Cover Cream Stick 

A power lifting balm stick that covers blemishes and improves skin elasticity. Provides double elastic care ingredient and mask stain protection effect. Contains 45,800PPM French Collagen that boost the tiring skin. Contains 20,000PPM Volufiline TM that prevent wrinkles. Contains 7 kinds of desert plant extracts and 3 kinds of flower oil that provide long-lasting moisture to the skin.

This provides really good coverage to the skin. It covers up acne/blemishes quite easily. The product it very easy to use just swipe it across the face where you want coverage and then use the brush side to blend the foundation into the skin. Thanks to the collagen It is very moisturizing. I have been using  on daily basis and I have noticed that it doesn't accentuate any problem areas on my face like the acne, flaky patches or texture. Overall the design is very ergonomic and travel friendly. 

ELROEL - Blanc Cover Mela Stick MX

I will admit the chalk white stripe onmy face was alarming initially but once I took my time and blended the foundation imto my skin. I was shocked to see my face glow like a freshly peeled egg. Just like magic lip balms this cover stick changes color to body heat and turnes into your skin color. The stick is neither too hard that it tugs your skin nor too soft that it crumbles easily on touch. It is firm and has a cream like consistency so it easy to spread and blend on the face. 

Since this has more of a sweat proof /bullet proof like formula I like to wear this to 12hr night shifts when I don't have enough time to touch up. I have noticed that it can survive the humidity of my face mask. This foundation comes off easily with oil cleanser. 

A foundation stick that combines the moisturizing power of a cream and the coverage of a foundation that changes its color to suit your skin tone. The ELROEL Blanc pact is put in a stick container to upgrade its portability and convenience.

It has a built-in brush with artificial hair (32,000 hair) made in Germany. With 50 hours of long-lasting hydration, coverage and SPF 50+ PA++++ UV protection. has a triple proof (waterproof, sweatproof, activity proof) effect.

I am very impressed with both of these products. Purchase the based on your skin needs.
