Korean Beauty Products

Hey guys,
I have tried out a few Korean Beauty products these weeks and there are some hits and misses. Products I have used are listed below:

Laneige Water Bank Essence Ex
Laneige Make Up Remover Cleanser
Scinic Tone up O2 Mask

My personal favorite goes to the first one, Laneige Water Bank Essence Ex, which is also one of the best seller of the brand. The texture is a bit gel and cream mixture which can be quickly absorbed. I use 3-4 pumps for whole face after applying toner. Then I will seal the moisture with 2 pumps of Tony Moly Snail Cream. The best of this essence is that it's suitable for all season and weather.

The Laneige cleasner is fair and my skin feels a bit dry after wash. Yet, foam is rich and the smell is good. I would reccomend it for oily skin type if you need a strong cleanser. Normally I use it after make up remover.

The Scinic Tone up mask is fun to try out. I use 3-4 pumps for whole face and it's gel like at first. When you apply it to your face, it will turns into bubbles! Let the bubbles develop and rinse your face with water after 5-10 minutes. I do feel pores tighten and face whiten a bit after the mask. Yet, it's a bit dry too. I use it 2-3 times a week as a tightening mask and again, it's fun to use.

Hair Dye DIY

I just dyed my hair 2 days ago using Relvon's Color Silk and the color I used is Dark Golden Brown. It's a new color so I decided to give it a try. But I have to use two boxes for my long and thick hair. The result is amazing! It can be compared to salon level at a cheap price. My hair is dyed in a beautiful brown color with a touch of gold undertone. Also it's silky smooth after the dye. It does leave my hair in a better condition! Best DIY hair dye in the world!

I have tried dye my hair using natural henna powder and a Palty bubble hair dye before. The henna leaves a strong herbal smell on my hair for a few days and it doesn't dye my hair at all. But my hair does feel softer and shinier. The Palty bubble hair dye is easy to use and the color is nice. However, my hair feels so rough and dry after the hair dye.

If you have any brands to suggest, please comment below. I would love to try out new products. :)
