The Jumiso Snail Ex barrier cream is the best thing I ever put on my face!! The texture is lightweight enough to sink in so nicely! Its amazing!! I promise!
Your skin is literraly perfect i can see the glow from a mile 🥺❤ you know i realy feel like we are friends i love watching your videos and the fact that you reply to the comments i still remember i wrote a comment for cassandra brankson telling my experience about a product she recommended that didn't work for me and iritated my skin and she DELETED it i wrote it again and she deleted it i tought i was the only one nope same happened to my friend which is kinda ironic lol
Was it sponsored? That’s one of my rules for sponsorships - companies have to be able to take negative comments. It’s skin we are talking about: what works for one person isn’t guaranteed to work for others. And I think it’s helpful for people to share their own experiences!
Actually the mixsoon bean essence was intended to be used as a peeling gel and not a leave on essence. As an esthetician I always encourage people to read directions to understand the intended use of a product and that will give you the best determination of the results to expect. It was never intended to be used as a serum so I think that may be why people are a bit underwhelmed by the product. There is a master serum in the line of products that was intended to be a serum. I hope this helps anyone out there wondering how to use this product.
I thought it could be used as both? But when I followed the directions I didn't get any exfoliation, but my skin did feel supple. I've seen other people say the same, with some comparing it to/suggesting instead an oil cleasner Unfortunately it seemed to break me out
Seeing “Collagen” in the name of a product is both a good & bad thing. 😂 So true. I’m thinking, “it’s topical benefits are not evidence-based.” Someone else might think, “I will get this instead of that powder I don’t like.” I never thought I would gravitate towards adding steps to my skincare routine. Trying K & J beauty products… 🥰 I get it. Ty Alice!
YUP. I think it’s confusing for newbies to skincare, and it’s not very exciting for the rest of us. I really don’t understand the decision to call it that, as it is such a lovely calming essence. Isn’t that…maybe I’m wrong but…isn’t that even more on trend lol
the Hygge serum looks really interesting! i've been really enjoying products that use a lot of amino acids in the formulation lately as i find it is super hydrating and barrier supportive, i'm trying out the Aestura Atobarrier 365 Hydro Essence and it's phenomenal
Yes me too!! Amino acids are kind of underrated? They’re quite interesting I feel: as a category they are hydrating but each amino acid does seem to have additional benefits.
I speak Danish and Hygge is pronounced hue-gah. It's the largest compliment you can give to someone's home when you are entering to say their place is hygge or hyggelit. I always describe it as cozy+ - like the way you feel when you wake up on a cold morning with snow outside and a fire burning inside and you feel warm and cozy and all yummy. PS Did you ever finally try the Blithe essences?
It’s interesting how there really is a feeling to that description? It’s hard to put into words, but yep - we have all experienced it! So I did yep! It’s in a past kb speed reviews, and I looove the texture. So nourishing, hydrating, plumping! I also remember getting flustered bc I looked it up and someone on Amazon reviewed it as “might as well buy canned beans, drain the beans, and use that juice on your face.” Ugh! Reviewer was on track for the description of the sensation, but..way to minimize the formula 😒
It’s so funny…the day iherb started selling the large tube of the klairs midnight cream it’s been a repeat purchase for me! I use it after I do my weekly Dermaroller session. Great video Alice! I would love to hear your thoughts on soybean skincare! I loved the innisfree soy essence until I realized it’s fragrance was causing me a little trouble!
The Klairs midnight cream is not heavy enough for my dry skin but I put it on and then the la Roche posay Cica balm on top and it’s honestly dream team!! Highly recommend
Different packaging really can make a product look smaller or bigger. The Rare Beauty highlighter is 15ml. It’s the same amount as my small highlighter sample.
Alice! hi! Ohh this is so nice! I recently won the midnight blue calming cream + serum in a giveaway! I layer it under Cerave moisturizing cream. Very soothing! Also, recently tried the holika holika less on skin new panthenol emulsion and it’s a weird one for me because my first impression is that it’s streaky using 4 pumps and doesn’t absorb quickly into the skin however, it does absorb once you keep rubbing and patting but I just don’t like that, it’s not cosmetically elegant but I’ll make it work lol
@@AliceintheRabbitHole it’s 5% d-panthenol and lightweight! The cream has 10% but more expensive at only 50ml so I chose the emulsion. The serum is like water and the first step after cleansing! So far so good.. nothing negative to report but I’ll give an update once the bottle is finished!
Need to say that the midnight blue calming cream isn't really a moisturizer in the sense that it doesn't contain much occlusives. This is more of a treatment to supplement your moisturizer on sensitive / inflamed areas. I've used it before moisturizer or after moisturizer on specific areas.
Do you ever tried one product from beplain? Bc oh my, I am really loving this brand, it is so so good for my sensitive dehydrated skin. (I love so much the camomile toner)
I swear, slap any “soothing “ product on my red, rosacea face, and I’ll be the happiest camper in the world. I’m trying so hard, it’s annoying at this point. And I’m endlessly buying minis of the Sulwahsoo overnight masks 😂😂
Love the video❤ have you ever used the Vita Genic Jelly Mask, Banobagi brand ? I found them at my local TJmax and I see they sell them online at Stylevana. I really love them and I would love to find a serum with similar ingredients.
Oh interesting, no I haven’t heard of them! Have you checked out more of the brands offerings? I see a few interesting serums (looking on YesStyle for the ingredients lol, but stylevana probably has them too!)
@@AliceintheRabbitHole Yes 😁👌 By the way, love your channel, my absolute favorite channel. Your knowledge and review of products cannot be found better. Many greetings from Denmark
Happy Friday/Weekend Alice! So many favs today! fYay for the bean essence!! Love it too for its hydrating abilities and the seal it forms- what a unique product! Use it after all hydrating products before creams! love the hyggee even though it has a super long ingredients list- check for it on stylevana as they have the very best price on it ive seen! use it more for its brightening/hydrating feel from the thick gel texture (seaweed heyyy!!) and i feel similarly to you. you would be obsessed with Aestura's 365 Barrier cream as well! slightly lighter and more emollient than illiyoon, but i use it underneath a thick occlusive layer with amazing results- one of my most restorative product favs! They also have an amazing mist with 1% pseudoceramide which i love (cream skin level hydration!) and the water gel cream which has 4% pseudoceramide-the highest i;ve found! Also i've been loving missha's red algae essence, Beplain's chamomile cream and cosrx's advanced snail serum in the dual chambers! hope you have a restful weekend!
Thank you so much for sharing! I’ve been unsure where to start with Aestura (and admittedly don’t think the product in this video was a perfect match for my skin type), so that is super helpful. They’re an intriguing brand; reminds me a lot of Illiyoon!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I'm already currently using the Mixsoon Hyaluronic Acid Essence......and it's really huge at 300ml. I'm going to take time to finish it first
For the Mixsoon Bean Essence...you said it was tacky. Do you think once is drys down a bit other serums applied on top would be able to get through to the skin, or do you think this serum is occlusive?
It’s tacky but in that richly hydrating way. So if I apply too much of this, I feel it absorb, but it takes seemingly hours. But no I don’t think it hinders absorption
I'm waiting for your review on the Facetheory Lumizela A15 Azelaic Acid Serum. I love this serum, however... I just found out the prices on their US website differs greatly from their EU website. I only order on the EU website because 15% is not available in the US but now I'm happy I do that, because I save a lot of money.
I'm torn on the Hyggee. The 4oz version actually has gone on sale for $9.99 several times and at that price I like the value as a staple product. As you say though I felt a little underwhelmed with what I thought it would be. Instead I almost saw it as a replacement for my HA serum morning step as I've always liked those serums to be multi-purpose.
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I went back through my orders and even though I think I've seen it for $9.99, I bought 2 from Jolse for $14.99 each in August 2021 (marked down from $48 at the time).
You said something about the ingredients in the HaruHaru product; Centella Asiatica, as well as Madecassosides, as in look for both or one over the other?...I missed that. Is there a star ingredient to look for in something with Centella? And you mentioned a new Haruharu Wonder serum that was really good...Is that the Black Rice Serum you're speaking of? Sorry if the first part of the question is confusing...
You know how we say things like, “oh you’re getting a cold? Eat an orange so you get some vitamin c!” Indeed, oranges contain vitamin c, as well as sugar, water, etc. likewise, centella asiatica contains madecassoside (as well as many other chemicals) So you could choose a product that is rich in centella asiatica, and hope to get some of the benefits of the madecassoside - or you could use a product that has standardized the madecassoside content. Now we are into the difference between eating an orange and getting “??” amount of vitamin c vs taking a vitamin c supplement, and getting 90mg per tablet. It’s not necessarily that one is better than the other, but instead that one carries more predictability. Hopefully that helps explain it!
I don't know why I didn't go to soy when you were first talking about the Mixsoon. I was like, beans? Why and what type, pinto, black, etc? Anyway, isn't soy a type of antioxidant?
I've heard a bunch of people say the Klairs midnight blue calming cream isn't actually a moisturizer, and that really confused me. Maybe people are implying it's more of a sleeping mask I guess? Or maybe it's just people with dry skin that think that, I'm not sure. I enjoy it, and I have oily skin, but I don't use it as a standalone moisturizer. I do use it as a sleeping mask because of what I've heard other people say about it lol.
Interesting. Tbh it has never felt like enough for me, so I’ve never used it alone. I can confidently say it’s wonderful layered with a night cream or used as that first step in a retinoid sandwich! 😃
I think isntree onion gel cream is better as sleeping mask. Midnight blue calming cream is better used on red and inflamed areas! Personally that's what I think.
The Klairs Midnight Blue Calming cream is $21 on Amazon. I also saw the RNW Ceramide Serum was a $19 as a lightning deal on Amazon. Just thought I'd share 🥰
I'm picturing a new company called Might Could Cosmetics. Lots of sweet tea-based products (kombucha), and lipstick shades named after regional barbecue. Definitely a Kudzu Palette (love green eyeshadow)! There should also definitely be something called Nagodoches. 🤣
Ah I love the bean essence! I expected the texture as I heard it was inspired (?) by natto, but it can catch you off guard if you aren't expecting it! It just feels so nicely moisturizing, almost occlusive for a serum-like product, but that's perfect for me up North. I do sometimes use it as a massaging exfoliator, it's the only thing that gives me grits! Quite different from peeling gels, which never seem to get the pore gunk (nor claim to). Still the most budget friendly way to use it though, I agree!
I've been trying their Master serum as my intro to bifida and I love that one too, à unique texture as well. Curious about their hinoki essence as I love the smell of hinoki but seldom see it in skincare!
YES, I think that sums it up: I was very caught off guard! In the end I really like it though. It’s SO different, and now that I understand it - in a good way. What’s the texture like on the master serum?
@@AliceintheRabbitHole suuper thin! Reminded me of the ordinary's hemi squalane, but without the lasting oiliness? Saw some improvement around the chronically red and irritated spots around my nose so I'm impressed! It does seem like a product that has crazy different prices on sites, around 30 dollars I'd say it's worth it to me, given the large size
Hi Alice! I know you said you understand you can't pronounce everything but since you mention ginseng so often. It's actually GIN- SANE not gen-SING. :) Otherwise great video and keep it up
Well, my HG is Sulwhasoo (is that predictable? 😆) but I do think there are many other nice options. The isntree hyaluronic is what I’ve been using recently!
Have you ever reviewed "Dermalogica...sound sleep cocoon"? I love the product but the container is the worst container ...EVER! I don't know WHAT they were thinking!
You know, I have that same concern at the back of my mind 👀 But goodness gracious that brand is HYPED. Hopefully I can figure out why (and hopefully not go “WELP this went poorly.”) wish me luck bahaha
Hi Alice im letting you no of a beautiful Korean soybean line its called the ronas stem cell line you may just like it 😉 its available from a website called acecosom. I get all my diy skincare asetics there .
