[Review] Neogen Real Fresh Foam Cleanser Blueberry

I had this Cleanser on my list for so long. Luckily I found this for just 1$ online on a promotion so this turned out to be quite a steal for the price

The Neogen Real Fresh Foam Cleanser comes in 4 variants Green Tea, Cranberry, Blueberry and Cereal. I bought the blueberry version because it sounded exotic to me

Features: 
Non-irritating cleansing foam with 99 natural ingredients. Moisturizes and brightens skin.
Removes sebum and tightens pores. Exfoliates dead skin cells. Removes UV protection ingredients. Formulated with real blueberries and blueberry water

Packaging
This foam cleanser is packaged in a pump bottle. The plastic is transparent so you can clearly see the amber colored cleanser along with the real blueberries. Overall 160 ml is quite a decent amount for a cleanser
The pump is pretty sturdy and you get dense slightly amber colored foam. The foam is fluffy and smells of blueberries. I use one pump and it is enough for my face

The weather is very hot right now ( precisely 41 C outside) and my skin is going crazy with oil production so I need a cleanser which thoroughly removes sebum yet keeps the face soft at the same time. This works pretty well as a regular cleanser and a second cleanser. The foam is not too strong and stripping. It removes the sebum and oil cleanser pretty thoroughly but I wouldn't recommend using this to remove makeup or sunscreen. The best part is that this leaves zero residue on the skin . Most of the times hydrating cleansers leave a thin oil film which aggravates acne but this is film free

I am really enjoying this cleanser and would try more variants from the range. Probably cereal and cranberry. A lot of online stores have this cleanser instock. I would recommend comparing the prices at a few stores so that you bag the best deal

Joohky Haul : Store Review

So Joohky is a relatively new online korean beauty store and they have a very cool YouTube channel. I have eyed their store for  some time and when I saw this Special Member Promotion where everything was 1$ I couldn't resist placing an order. So with a help of a friend I managed to place my very first order

Joohky is your bridge between you and K-Beauty. South Korean online store Joohky provides most of all Korean cosmetics brands with delicious and affordable prices, and we ship directly worldwide from South Korea!

Currently, at Joohky we offer more than 122 brands and 2600 products. Moreover, we are trying to launch new brands and more products. You can meet Joohky through the use of such platforms as Amazon, eBay, and Qoo10. Recently we have developed an app, mobile version of Joohky which is available for Android and IOS users to give high-quality service for our customers in this rapidly changing IT environment.

The website design is simple and very easy to use. They have everything organized in different categories. You can also search via brands section or through the search bar. Joohky also reviews newly released products on its website so you can look for different review prior to making a purchase.

What I liked about Joohky is that they have a lot of cool promotions going on. Like Free shipping event, specially curated skin care sets etc. You can also get 3$ credit on signing up for an account at Joohky

So I purchased two Neogen products from their special member promotion for 1$ each. I had the  NEOGEN  Dermalogy Real Fresh Foam Blueberry along with NEOGEN  Dermalogy Bio-Peel Gauze Peeling Lemon on my wishlist for so long and I was super thrilled to get these on such an unbelievable price. ( pssst these costs around 16-20$)

While surfing the webstore I found the newly launched Peripera Ink Tint Serum. I had such a hard time just limiting myself to one lip product because everything looked so beautiful. I also grabbed the Merzy The First Gel Eyeliner in shade #G14 Crimson. I have already tried this eyeliner and it is the absolute best , so I bought one more in another color because this was at a really good discounts

Now many online stores offer standard shipping at fixed rate but Joohky calculates the shipping charges based on the weight . For this order I paid around 15$ for shipping. this may seem a lot but keeping in mind the two 1$ products I got. I didn't find the shipping to be overly expensive.
I was also very happy to receive generous amount of samples with my order

Joohky processed my order within a day or two and I received my order via K-packet in 14 days time

I am really happy with my shopping experience and I will buy again from Joohky in future.

You can check out the store here. HAPPY SHOPPING =)

[Review] NEOGEN Real Fresh Cleansing Stick Green Tea

Created by Charlotte Cho in collaboration with Neogen this is one of  the most popular stick cleanser that almost everyone who has stepped in korean skincare has tried. I am admittedly very late to join the bandwagon but better late than never right.

Sticks formulations in general are trending in korean beauty circle right now, be it stick foundations, stick concealer, stick blush, stick sunscreen, stick perfume bars and ofcourse stick cleanser

This Neogen Green Tea Cleansing Stick is a all in one cleanser, it claims to melt makeup, dirt and clear sebum from the skin. Personally I prefer two step cleansing method as it removes every last bit of sunscreen and waterproof foundation from skin but since this is created by Charlotte Cho I knew this is no ordinary cleanser.

There are crushed green tea leaves along with natural oils to dissolve makeup and sebum

Ingredients: Glycerin, purified water, cocos nucifera (coconut) oil, palmitic acid, stearic acid, lauryl betaine, betaine, camellia sinensis leaf(0.3%), camellia sinensis seed oil(0.1%), camellia japonica seed oil, olea europaea (olive) fruit oil, helianthus annuus (sunflower)seed oil, limnanthes alba (meadowfoam) seed oil, oenothera biennis (eveningprimrose) oil, tocopheryl acetate, citrus aurantifolia (lime) oil, ocimum basillicum (basil) oil, cananga odorata flower oil, citrus limon (lemon) peel oil, origanum heracleoticum floweroil, citrus aurantium dulcis (orange)peel oil, fragrance.

Packaging
Starting with packaging this feels heavy as its 80 g of product in form of a solid stick. The green cylindrincal plastic tube looks beautiful and has a twist up mechanism.

Its advised to swipe the cleanser on damp skin and then massage in circular motion to loosen makeup and oil.

The solid stick has a somewhat soft feel to it and glides well on damp skin. The tea leaves run through the entire cleanser and provide gentle exfoliation. In terms of scent its rather strong ( smells like grean tea ) personally I am not bothered by it because its refreshing and pleasant. The cleanser goes on like balm, turns somewhat milky and forms mild bubbles.

Green tea is a great antioxidant, it helps with clearing acne and provides hydration to skin.

This cleanser does a really good job of removing makeup. I can't say much about waterproof makeup through because I am very paranoid and use oil cleanser anyway. it gently cleanses the skin without stripping moisture or leaving it feeling dry. Moreover if you travel a lot this is not going to be confiscated at customs because it meets the TSA guidelines. Cleansers make huge difference to your skin. When I was a teenager my skin was horrible because I used to wash my face with everyday soap and it damaged my moisture barrier so choosing the right cleanser is very important.

I am glad I tried out this cleanser because it very handy and does the job well.

You can find this NEOGEN Real Fresh Cleansing Stick Green Tea at Jolse they recently restocked Neogen product along with new products
