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.

NEW BUY: Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner Deep Black

Cute pink packaging
~AG~
Previously bought Dolly Wink Liquid Liner in Super Brown. Brown eyeliner creates a soft natural line while black eyeliner gives a stronger look. Now decided to try Dolly Wink Liner in Deep Black. Purchased it for S$25.90 from Watsons. For hygiene purpose, you are supposed to throw out your eyeliner after 3 months of use. But since I do not use liquid eyeliner everyday, I decide to replace mine after 6 months of use. So far, I am a fan of Dolly Wink Liquid Eyeliner. Stay tuned on my review on whether I like the Deep Black as much as the Super Brown.

REVIEW: Derma-RX Blemish Formula

~AG~

My skin was breaking out quite badly on the 1st week of January. There were more than 5 pimples in the T-zone area, specifically around the brow and nose areas. The pimples were red and angry. It might be because of a combination of late nights, sinful food and makeup. 

As it turns out, I ran out of the Acne Spot Lotion to treat the pimples when I needed it most. So I hurried to DR-X Clinic to replenish the product. The Acne Spot Lotion costs S$32.10. The previous bottle lasts me for over a year, since I only use it for my emerging red pimples. My breakouts are usually sync with the time of the month.While I was at DR-X Clinic, I also decided to get the Blemish Formula (S$95). It comes with 30 ml of blemish-fighting ingredients. The Blemish Formula did help soothe redness and promotes healing.
This product is still must-have for dealing with breakouts. Even though it is pricey, Blemish Formula works effectively to eliminate blemishes. This is one of my HG skincare products.

Below is my current skincare routine. 
Since my skin was in such bad shape, I decided to revert to some DR-X products for my skincare regimen.
1. Son & Park Beauty Water
2. The FaceShop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Foam
3. Thayers Witch Hazel Aloe Vera Formula Rose Peta (in the morning)
    Derma-RX Toner (at night) 
4. Blemish Formula
5. Derma-RX Max C 
6. Embryolisse Creme Concentre
7. Derma-RX Tinted Sunscreen
