Su:m37 Miracle Rose Cleansing Stick Review

Su:m37 Miracle Rose Cleansing Stick is a facial cleanser in the form of stick inside a twist-up style applicator. It claims to be hypoallergenic, non-stripping, mildly exfoliating, and to rinse without leaving behind any residue.

The container for the Su:m37 Miracle Rose Cleansing Stick is a sleek, light peachy-pink, twist-up tube. The product inside is a light pink stick, speckled with small, pink rose petals.

No surprises here – the Su:m37 Miracle Rose Cleansing Stick is very distinctively and classically rose scented, but it’s not sharp or intense. I would describe the fragrance as creamy and delicate.

One of the things I love about the Su:m37 Miracle Rose Cleansing Stick is that it can be used as either the first and/or second cleanser if you like to double cleanse. The rich oils in the cleansing stick remove makeup with ease, including waterproof eye makeup. As a second cleanser, it leaves the skin completely clean and soft, without making it feel stripped or dry. Most of the time I use the cleansing stick as my morning cleanser, and sometimes as my second cleanser in the evening. However, if I were traveling, this cleansing stick is the only one I’d need to pack. I’m really looking forward to traveling with this cleansing stick actually – it’s so compact, and because it’s solid, I don’t have to worry about it leaking all over the other toiletries in my bag.

To use the stick, I just splash my face with tepid water, and then rub the stick over my wet face in a circular motion. I really enjoy this part of the process – it’s basically a mini facial massage. Once I feel like I have enough of the lather on my face (there’s usually a few rose petals on my face at this point as well), I’ll wet my hands slightly and rub the cleanser in a circular motion with my fingertips. I like to take my time with this step – after 30 seconds or so, I am rewarded with a smooth, creamy froth. I give this another 30 seconds, and then rinse it away with a few splashes of lukewarm water. The cleanser rinses away completely, leaving no residue behind.

I’ve been using the Su:m37 Miracle Rose Cleansing Stick for about a week. I reach for it every morning, and often use it for my second cleansing step in the evening as well. My skin glows after using this cleanser, and I love the clean-but-not-tight feeling I get from it. I’ve noticed a slight decrease in skin sensitivity over the past couple of weeks, and I think the Miracle Rose Cleansing Stick might deserve the credit for this. I had one tiny pimple when I first started using this product, and I definitely noticed a significant decrease in its inflammation after using the cleansing stick just one time. I have not experienced any breakouts, irritation, dryness, or greasiness as a result of using this cleansing stick.

As far as exfoliation goes – I’d say those effects are minimal. It’s the rose petals that provide the exfoliating effect, and as you might imagine, rose petals aren’t terribly abrasive. I don’t think this is a bad thing – if I really want to physically exfoliate flakes from my face, I’m going to reach for a product that’s made to do exactly that. For a daily cleanser like this one, I much prefer a gentle product that isn’t going to irritate my skin.

Ingredients:
Glycerin, Coconut Oil, Water, Stearic Acid, Lauric Acid, Lauryl Betaine, Potassium Hydroxide, Betaine, Rose (0.5%), Fragrance, Camellia Oil, Tocopheryl, Green Tea Seed Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil, Olive Oil, Apricot Seed Oil, Yeast/Fermented Rose Extract Filtrate (0.01%), Basil Oil, Lemon Peel Oil, Lime Oil, Pot Marjoram Oil, Orange Seed Oil, Ylang Ylang Oil

I love how many moisturizing plant oils there are in this ingredient lineup, and really, there’s a lot to love about this list in general. 

I absolutely love the Su:m37 Miracle Rose Cleansing Stick – washing my face with it feels like a luxury experience rather than a chore, and I love how my skin feels afterward. I also really love that I can use this cleansing stick for both steps of my double cleanse. I don’t normally use it that way, but having the option is nice, and will be especially handy for travel. Its ability to act as both a makeup remover and a cleanser is ideal for those who’d like to treat themselves to a luxury product but still save a little money.

Have you tried this product before?

It's Skin Prestiges Masque D'escargot

Before I start to review this wonderful mask sheet, I would like to let you know that I am on #30daysmask little task of putting on different mask every night from mask sheet, mask gel or sleeping mask. I have most photos at Instagram.  Find me @inner_luxurious xx. 

It's Skin Prestige D'escargot (wow, mouthful!) is a gel- type mask with snail extract and Epidermal Growth Factor, originally from Korea.  It could hydrate your dry skin and smoot It claims to reduce for wrinkles (repairs) and also pores (smooth).  It has Brighthening elements which I saw my own after 20mins of using it.

 

After 20mins, you could see the gel has absorbed to my skin. 

Now you could see the before and after as proven it does brighten my skin.  How promising is that?

You could get this mask from Kim Soon Young at George Street Sydney or blusakeup.com.au for approx. $35-$39 for 5 pieces in the pack.

Have you tried the mask before?  

Nature Republic Snail Mask

Before I start to review this wonderful mask sheet, I would like to let you know that I am on #30daysmask little task of putting on different mask every night from mask sheet, mask gel or sleeping mask. I have most photos at Instagram.  Find me @inner_luxurious xx. 

I bought this mask back in February when ai was in Hawaii.  I only just started using it because I was not convince abouy 'Snail Solution'.  I couldn't put it in my face just by thinking of it, it is impossible. I have came across too mang bloggers and beauty  enthusiasts rave about how good is the Snail Slime.  I haven't used any of those products but I thought to give this mask a try.  Now is November, yes it takes that long to convince. 

Before I put on the mask, I wash my face wi th  La Mer Cleansing Oil and tone with La Mer Toner.  Then I open the mask and hit me with an array of lavender and fruity extract smell.  It is rather light.

It has three layers bedore I found the mask! 

Not sure what's the purpose but it does take longer to take it out.

I always apply mask from forehead to chin.  The mask is quite soothing.  I put on about 20mins but anout 15mins it started to dry.  My face feel little sticky after I took off and start to massage the rest of residual.  My face felt sticky after massage for a moment but afterall the skin is hydrated.

You could get this brand at Korea Depart or Natural Republic.  I won't get this mask anymore because I like the mask working twice as hard regardless the price - brighthening, hydrating, soft and smooth.

Albion Gel Foundation Review and Swatches for my Chinese Reader

Albion produced new foundation “Gel Mask Foundation”. This is liquid gel foundation, and according to Albion, you can apply this product without primers.

swatches ...

我自己用下来不是特别喜欢。

1.保湿：混合偏干或者中性皮ok，干皮要做好保湿用，油皮夏天会觉得油的，秋冬也可以。

2.遮瑕：遮瑕效果很弱，可能这就是不适合我的原因，遮毛孔的效果倒比瑕疵强一点。本来就没什么大问题的皮应该更适合，会让人觉得皮肤很好~

3.色号：040自然皮和偏白一点的都已经够了，上脸不黄。

4.质感：更偏向液体，并不很gel，所以滋润度不会太高。

5.妆感：提亮肤色肯定有，不上散粉的话有光泽感，会有皮肤本来就自然光泽的感觉。

6.要说说这个压泵，很短、并不是管子延伸到瓶底的那种，靠压强上来的？

SU:M37 SECRET PROGRAMING MASK REVIEW

The SU:M37 Secret Programming Mask is a mask mixed with natural fermented ingredients from 80 vegetables.  This essential mask recharges nutrients and moisture of the skin instantly.

When I use a sheet mask I look for several things. First is, effectiveness. Second is whether or not it can stick on my face and feel comfortable (or even better, I don't feel it being on my face after awhile). This is because I don't have the patience nor the time to sit there for 15-20 minutes. I need to be doing something while I put on this mask and if I need to fix it every minute because it's falling off my face then that's an instant fail. Third is whether or not it absorbs. If I don't feel a difference in the wetness of the sheet mask after 20 minutes.. then there is a problem with the compatibility of the mask with my face.

Effectiveness: It didn't even out my skin tone as effectively, it didn't take away the redness as effectively, and it only brighten up s bit as effectively.

Adherence: The texture of the mask sheet is thick and it is pretty hard to move around my face around but it would still stick really well. 

Absorption: I think the absorption of the mask  pretty well. 

Summary:

Brightens a bit, calms my skin tone a bit, took away the redness a bit.

Quality: 3/5 because it did a bit of everything 

Value: 2/5 because it's $8 per mask!

Repurchase? No :(

THE HISTORY OF WHOO HAS ARRIVED IN SYDNEY

I have a good news to you!  The History of Whoo has arrived in Sydney.  It is located opposite Market City in Haymarket Chinatown. I couldn't believe my eyes while I saw this shop when I walked pass! This shop used to sell clothes for youngsters that I never stepped in before and now has turned to the beauty shop that I love to buried my head in there!

Finally, I had time today to go into the shop at my lunch time.  Two of young and beautiful ladies approached me with friendly smile.  I straight away told them I love to know all about these brands.  Although it is The Whoo Shop, the shop has a few famous, luxury and top range brands such as O HUI, SU:M37 Beyond and of course The History of Whoo!

(The History of Whoo is next to Marigold Restaurant and you can see the shop isn't that small but has its own special and unique products in there)

(The History of Whoo Myeong Ui Yang Stick and Spot Brightening Ampoule)

I told them my concerns were my pigmentation on my cheek and also my fineline on my forehead.  I am still looking for a product that could make it lighten and not becoming deep wrinkles.

She introduced me to The History of Whoo Myeong Ui Yang stick and Brightening Spot Ampoule.  

She said these both are treatment set and mainly  to treat pigmentation and fine line in forehead and laughline. I was totally drawn by the packaging  as they look very luxury!
