REVIEW: Pixi Glow Tonic

~AG~

Bought Pixi Glow Tonic almost a year ago, and finally trying it. This award-winning toner by Pixi has rave review online. Reviews mention that Glow Tonic creates a brighter and glowing complexion after use. This gentle exfoliating toner can be used twice a day. It contains 5% Glycolic Acid that exfoliates the skin. This alcohol-free toner contains ingredients such as witch hazel extract and aloe vera to balance and soothe skin.

What are my thoughts? 
After using it for more than three months, my skin has noticed some differences. Even though it contains Glycolic Acid, Pixi Glow Tonic does not irritate my sensitive combination skin. You can use it twice a day. After cleansing, I saturate a cotton pad with Glow Tonic and sweep across the face. You can see visible residues/impurities on the cotton pad. This toner does not dry out my skin. My skin feels balanced after use. It helps to control my breakouts and evens out my skin tone. 

Sephora Singapore sells Pixi Glow Tonic is 3 sizes.
1) 15ml retails for S$9 which is perfect for traveling. 
2) 100ml retails for S$22 for everyday use and,
3) 250ml retails for S$44 for those who really loves it

The one that I am using now is the 100ml version. This bottle can lasts about 3-4 months with daily use. Compared to other toners, it is considered a mid-range priced toner.  Thayer Rose Petal is more affordable @ S$13 for 255 ml of product. Compared to Derma-RX Toner which costs S$46 for 150 ml, Pixi Glow Tonic is more affordable. 


Overall, I am liking Pixi Glow Tonic and would repurchase it. You can purchase it from Sephora Singapore. For those in the USA, you can find it at Target as well. 

NEW BUY: Becca Jet, Set, Glow! Prep & Prime Kit

 ~AG~

Purchased Becca Jet, Set, Glow Prep & Prime Kit from Sephora for USD 25 (SGD34). This set comes with 3 products: Backlight Priming Filter, First Light Priming Filter and Under Eye Brightening Corrector. 

Backlight Priming Filter is a product that boosts radiance and instantly filter the skin. It is infused with crushed pearls for a diffused and beautiful glow. First Light Priming Filter brightens the complexion for a healthy glow. Under Eye Brightening Corrector is a cream corrector to brighten and disguise dark circles. 

Cannot wait to try these products especially the Under Eye Brightening Corrector because of my severe dark circles. Stay tuned for my review!

REVIEW: Petitfee Black Pearl & Gold Hydrogel Eye Patch

~AG~

Finally done with Petitfee Gold EGF Eye Patch and decided to get more eye patch. One tub of 60 patches lasted me 8 months. This time decided to try the Petifee Black Pearl & Gold Hydrogel Eye Patch instead. It costs S$13.67 (S$9.83) from iHerb. The Black Pearl & Gold Eye Patch is cheaper than the Gold EGF Eye Patch (S$30). That is less than half the price. Similarly, it also comes with 60 eye patches.

Made with black pearl and gold powder, this eye mask is full of amino acids to help regeneration and purification of the skin. Infused with grapefruit, green tea, mugwort, tangerine and cucumber extracts to hydrate the eye area and reduce puffiness. It supposedly brighten dark under eye area. 

So what I like to do with these eye patches is to store it in the fridge. The hydrogel eye patches feel refreshing when it is cooled. After cleansing and applying toner, I leave on the eye patches for 30 minutes. I usually put them on at night before bed. These eye patches are soaked with essence to nourish the skin.

Somehow I prefer the Petitfee Gold EGF Eye Patch. It seems to work better to hydrate and refresh the eyes area. Though my dark circles are not reduced by using either of the eye patch. Overall, would not repurchase Petitfee Black Pearl & Gold Hydrogel Eye Patch.

NEW BUY: Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

~AG~
This popular drugstore cleansing water from Garnier has been on my radar for a while. This Cleansing Water removes makeup, cleanses and soothes the skin. It does not contain added fragrance and alcohol. Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water is designed for face, eyes and lips. I wonder whether it works just as well compared to Bioderma. Decided to buy the travel-sized version to try. This 125ml bottle comes with 60 uses. Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water costs S$5.90 at Watsons. While Bioderma Sensibio costs $15.90 for 100ml bottle. That is a significant difference in pricing. Garnier costs approximately $0.50/ml, Bioderma costs $0.15/ml.

Stay tuned for my review on this affordable Garnier Cleansing Water and whether it is a worthy dupe of Bioderma Sensibio.

NEW BUY: Biossance Squalane + Peptide Gel

~AG~
This is one of Biossance best-selling products, Biossance Squalane + Peptide Gel. Heard about this brand from my friend, Stephanie. This American brand that is popular for their clean products is not as known in Asia. Bought this product from Sephora USA for US$54 (S$74). Biossance Squalane + Peptide Gel is a lightweight eye gel that reduces the look of puffiness and dark circles. 

Cannot wait to try it and see whether it would reduce my dark circles. Follow me on the journey to find the best eye cream for dark circles.
