Winter Empties !

Heey Guys <3

I' haven't done an empties post in a very long time.I will do my empties post from now on every season,because that's just easier.And I would have time to use up some products.

1-Mong Leya lotion 

2-Himalaya Refreshing & Clarifying Toner: I love this toner,because it's alcohol free,paraben free,and for acne prone skin.It's very gentle on the skin and isn't drying. 

I would definitely repurchase this product again 5/5

3-Nivea Soothing Toner: This was an okay toner.But I didn't like it,because it had alcohol and it made my skin feel a little dry. 

I wouldn't repurchase this product again 3/5

4-St.Ives Apricot Scrub: I didn't like this scrub a lot.I bought it because of all the hype that I read about it.But it ended up drying my skin and irritated my acne.So I used it as a body scrub just to use it all up. I also posted an in depth review on this product!

I wouldn't repurchase this product again 3/5

5-Olay Moisturizer: My mom got me this a while ago,and it was another okay product.

I wouldn't repurchase this product again2/5

6-The Face Shop Blemish Zero Toner: I'm so glad I didn't but the full size,because it wasn't anything special.But I liked that it was 3 free.The full size of this toner is like $30.

I wouldn't repurchase this product again 3/5

7-Clean & Clear advantage gel: I love love this product,but sadly it's not sold in Saudi.This is my 4th or 5th tube <3

I would repurchase this product again 5/5

8-Himalaya Herbals Neem Face Wash: I would repurchase this product again 5/5 .I actually already repurchased this if full size.You should also check out my in depth review on this cleanser 

9-The Face Shop Hand cream : I love this hand cream its so cute.

I would repurchase this product again 5/5

10-L'oreal elvive total repair conditioner 

11-Bhaesaj Cooling powder

12-Vatika Moisturizing Shampoo

13-Nail Polish remover 

14-Bath and Body Works shower cream in Carried Away <3

I have back ups of all these products!

and of course SHEET MASKS!

Review:[THE FACE SHOP] Baby Leaf Green Tea Oil Free Toner

Hey guys,
I'm back with another review.It's a new product from The Face Shop Green Tea line.A lot of Korean brands have come up with a green tea line such as innisfree.One of the brands that I yet have to try! This was appealing to me,because its made of green tea.I love green tea more than anything! I drink at least 3 cups daily!

Baby Leaf Green Tea Oil Free Toner

Description

☆ Moisture complex(Xanthan gum+betain+Gylcerin)

☆ Panthenol (Anit-inflammatory, moisturizing)

☆ 3,000 mg of organically grown boseong green tea extract

☆ 5 free system (Artifical coloring,benzophenone,minerals,animal derived material,alcohol)  [Source]

Ingredients

                                             

Directions

After cleansing dispense an adequate amount and apply gently along the skin texture.

Packaging 

It comes in a 150ml plastic bottle for 75sr.I really like the fact that it's plastic.Unlike their Aloe toner.I always drop things!Who else has the same problem? or am I the only one? 

Texture & Scent

It's very light and runny like water,but it also moisturizing.It doesn't leave you're face feeling tight afterwards.But you still need to follow up with a moisturizer.It has the signature face shop scent.It smells earth-y.Oh you what it smells like? The clean face cleanser! It's the same exact scent!

Cons:

Contains Parabens

It's more on the pricey side

Pros:

5 free system

Nice scent

moisturizing 

rating:3/5

Would I recommend this to a friend? 

Yes

Would I repurchase this product? 

If the reduced the price a little then yes.

☆Enjoy the rest of you day☆

Review:[THE FACE SHOP]Mung Beans Foam Cleanser

Hello♡
I'll be doing a quick review on another cleanser from the face shop today,and unlike the " Clean face acne solution" cleanser I liked this one~! 

Description & How To Use:

Credit: http://ow.ly/ooraV

The tube has a flip cap

The Back

Ingredients:

My Thoughts:
I bought this cleanser,because on TFS website it said that this was for "trouble" skin types! It didn't do much for my acne,but it has reduced the blackheads on my nose a lot.I like using this with my foaming net,because it uses less product and makes it all foamy and soft! I have been using this cleanser for over 3 months day and night and I still didn't finish it!

Pros

♡Reduces the appearance of blackheads

♡Last a long time (when using a foaming net)

♡Affordable! costs 35SR($9.33) for 170 ml

Cons

♡Hard to find 

♡not the best scent (I don't really mind it though)

Rating:♡♡♡♡

Would I repurchase this product?

Yes

I will be going to Dubai tomorrow so I wont be posting for awhile! If I have time today or tomorrow I'll try to write some posts to post while I'm on vacation.

☆Enjoy the rest of you day☆

Review:[THE FACE SHOP] Natural Sun Super Perfect Sun Cream SPF50+PA+++

Heeeey <3

Today I'll be reviewing TFS' Natural Sun Super Perfect Sun Cream SPF50+PA+++ !! I haven't done a review for awhile.Before I start let me tell you a little about my skin.

I have combination skin(Oily T-zone and dry around my cheeks),acne prone, sensitive!

Description:

A sun cream which is effective in blocking UV rays,protects skin from both UVA and UVB,even in the area of outside camping without greasy feeling.

How To Use:

Get adequate amount and gently spread out

My Thoughts:

I bought this sunscreen,because it has high SPF.I told the SA that I have oily skin and she recommend me this.But sadly I ended up not liking it,because it has a thick cream consistency.Which made my face super oily,stick,and it had a strong sunscreen smell!

It's thicker than this,but because it was in the heat it became a bit watery!

Pros

♡High SPF

♡Nice packaging

♡ A little goes a long way

Cons

♡50SR ($13) for 50ML

♡ Strong sunscreen smell

♡Sticky

♡ zero to very little oil control

Rating:♡♡

Would I repurchase this product?

NO!

The Face Shop Haul

Hello,
First of all I would like to THANK ALL OF YOU! (my readers) for supporting me and reading my blogs even though I'm completely new to this! I have readers from more than 15 countries so again THANK YOU VERY MUCH! <3 Secondly,I went to the mall yesterday and I got some stuff from The Face Shop,Boots,and Daiso! and Yes I spent waaay more money then I was supposed too x_x  So I broke some of my Project 15 Pan rules </3
You can also see my progress in the past 3 weeks:
Week 1 - HERE!
Week 2 - HERE!
Week 3 - HERE!

Lets get started with the haul!

1-Baby face hydrogel mask Hyaluronic Acid 25SR($6.66)

2-Pearl mask powder collagen 30SR($8)

I thought this mask was very interesting ! I have never tried this kind of mask 

so I'm really excited to try it!

3-Supreme cereal brown rice sheet mask 20SR($4)

4-Real nature mask rice 

I got this as a gift.It was the first time that TFS has given me samples

5-Face it dry fast nail polish 30SR($8)

I asked the SA for a top coat and she recommend this,but when I got home and 

read the back it said"dry fast" It isn't a top coat! It helps your nails dry fast.I tried it 

and I didn't like it so far,but I'll use it a couple more times to see if I like it or not.

6- Clean care black yeast honey peel off mask clarifying pack  60SR($16)

I saw this on "Get it Beauty" which is a Korean make up/skincare TV show! You can

watch the episode that they featured this product in here ~> 

Part 1 ~ HERE!

Part 2~ HERE!

7- Rice water cleansing rich oil 65SR($17)

I have heard so much good things about cleansing oils,but I couldn't them anywhere

 except for TFS!So I decided to get the rice water one.I wanted the light oil since I have combination/oily skin,but they only had rich oil TT_TT ! I want to add oil massage 

to my skincare routine that's one of the reasons I bought this!

 That's all I bought from TFS I spent 220SR($58.65) The only reason that I bought a lot of stuff is because TFS is at a mall that's far away from my house and we don't go there often! I go to that area especially for TFS and Daiso!

I have a list of things I want to buy the next time I go to TFS:-
♥ Sleeping Pack
♥ Pore care set
♥ Vita E,A,C sheet masks
♥ Cleanser
♥ Make up remover tissue
♥Baby Leaf Green Tea waterful Serum
♥ Baby Leaf Green Tea waterful emulsion
♥ Honey Black Sugar scrub
♥White Jewel Peeling
♥Jelly Apple Peeling
♥Mild Papaya Peeling

Yes,I know a lot of stuff right? LOL!

Have you tried any of the products that I bought or want to buy?What did you think of them?

Review:[THE FACE SHOP] Clean Face Acne Solution Foam Cleansing

Hello my lovely readers ♥ 

Today I'll be reviewing The Face Shop's Acne Solution Foam Cleansing (Yes its written on the packaging "Cleansing" instead of "Cleanser") from the CLEAN FACE line.I have tried a sheet mask from this line and loved it!

Claims : 

Directions & Ingredients : 

My Thoughts:
I bought this cleanser about 4-6 months ago from The Face Shop store at Othaim Mall and I paid 50SR($13) for 150ml.I was walking in the mall when I suddenly saw a HUGE Kim Hyun Joong poster!!! <3 So of course crazy me rushed into the store ,and started putting whatever I Saw in my basket like they were free stuff! But unfortunately I only bought 1/4 of the stuff..and left the store with about $50 worth of products!! 
Anyways what were my thoughts about this product? I have used this product for the past couple of months on and off.It has a thick opaque white color as you can see in the pic below.

when you rub it between your hands it lathers up,but I prefer to use it with my foaming net.With the foaming net I get this soft foam that feels gentle on my skin,and its fun!Since this was my first cleanser from TFS I really wanted to like it,but unfortunately I didn't!!! 

The first time I used it I wasn't sure if I broke out,because of the cleaner or because it was almost that time of the month.So I used it for a month then changed my cleanser and my skin cleared.The Second time I used it I was also unsure,because I started using a new toner and emulsion from skinfood.So again I used it for about a month then switched the cleanser.The third time I realized it was the cleanser that broke me out!! I had about 1/3 of it left TT.TT and I didn't want my money to go to waste so I used it till I finally finished the tube.What I did though was mix it with my Tea Tree Cleanser from The Body Shop,and the result was I still broke out but it was waaaaaaaaay less severe so that's much better!

Pros:

♥ Nice packaging

♥ Super foamy when used with my foaming net

♥ A little goes a long way

Cons:

♥ Broke me out like crazy

♥Has a citrus-y smell

♥ Made my skin feel tight after cleansing

Rating:0/5  (-.-")

Would I repurchase this product?

Never ever again! I hated it!!!

Have you tried this cleanser before ?did it also break you out?

Also I'm debating whether to buy Etude House's Baking powder deep pore cleanser or Laneige's multi cleanser? I have heard good things about both,but i can't seem to  decide which to get!

But I won't buy any new cleanser unless I finish using all the cleansers I have which are: 

♥ (2) Collagen by Watson's Moisturizing and Brighting foam cleanser.

♥ Neutrogena deep clean foam cleanser.

♥Limi rose sonnet whitening gel cleanser.

♥The Face Shop Herb day 365 mung beans cleanser.

You can see those cleansers except for the face shop one in my China Haul!

Have you tried any of the cleansers mentioned in the list?

Have a good day~!
