SKINFOOD Salmon Brightening Eye Cream and Darkcircle Concealer Cream No.1 Review

I have always had a problem with dark circles and bags under my eyes ever since I hit puberty >.< Majority of eye creams I came across were not really for lightening dark circles until I came across this salmon line of products.

Description
Cream
Salmon roe extract, salmon oil containing Vitality and radiance to the skin. Your eyes bright and healthy. Functional whitening eye cream.

Concealer
Reduce the appearance of dark circles around the eyes  with the extract of salmon roe.

Cream
This worked wonders for me, after using it for a week (morning and night) this has definitely reduced my dark circles and bags. The great thing is that I don't get break outs, irritations or milia (white dots under your eye) from this.

It doesn't actually have a salmon fragrance but has a light floral fragrance ^-^. The cream itself isn't too thick in my opinion but does feel and look a bit greasy after applying.

 1 week ago - really bad!
Now - A lot better >v<
Concealer
This was a weird concealer for me since its in a pot. Rather than being a cream texture it was more solid and should be applied with warm fingers in order to "melt" the concealer. It does lighten my skin and fills the ceases well but it also makes my ceases look more obvious. 

Like the cream it doesn't smell like salmon at all but instead has an even lighter floral fragrance. The pot itself is very tiny but it will last quite a while - I've been using this for a month now and it only looks like I have only just touched it. 

Whenever I use this it gives a shine which makes it obvious that I'm wearing a concealer and always causes it to look like it's lighter that it should be therefore not matching my skin colour.

Repurchase?
Yes for the cream once I've run out.

SKINFOOD Watery Berry Toner & Emulsion review

I got this free sample from a friend after he went on a shopping spree in Skinfood.


Description
A dewy moisture toner/ emulsion that promotes soft, glowing skin with berry extracts and sodium hyaluronate.

Toner
Cleans well leaving me with a refresh and cool feeling but also cleans away some of my nature moisture since it dries up my skin a bit. Although it leaves me with a refreshed feeling it leave my skin sticky....

Emulsion
The texture is similar to Skinfood's Royal Honey emulsion but a bit more watery but not to the point where it would slide about. This isn't moisturizing enough for me as I have dry skin - my skin doesn't look dry but it doesn't look/feel particularly moisturized. There also wasn't a glowy look on my skin nor did it feel soft... Skinfood recommends this if you want "more dry skin when seasons change". I personally think it's better for people with oily skin.

The watery berry line has a strong citrus + berry like scent but it disappears in less than 30 seconds.

Repurchase?
No, it's not for me.

SKINFOOD Royal Honey Emulsion, Toner & Hydro Cream Review


I brought this line of product after my skin recovered from rashes (from an allergic reaction).
This line advertises that it's products contains royal black honey and royal jelly extracts that replenished moisture and transforms skin into a nice honey-glazed complexion.

I've been using this for 6 months and it's did what it says it does ^-^ which I am very happy about this as I have dry and sensitive skin - it's hard for me to find something that doesn't cause a break out or irritation.

Emulsion
Keeps my face nourished throughout the day even when I use it alone. It has a light honey smell. It's consistency is more on the watery side but not so much - with the design on the opening I would have preferred if it was more watery, as I felt as if I was having a war with the bottle every time I had to tap the lotion out (sometimes too much comes out....).

The emulsion bottle need a pump!

Toner
Cleans well and doesn't dry out my face like what a lot of other toners do on me. My skin feels a little bit sticky after I use this which maybe because it contains honey - it's not on a sticky level where it would bother me too much or make me feel dirty.This is a little bit thicker than most toner but not to the point it's considered as a gel.

Hydro Cream
I don't usually use this a lot since it give me a greasy feeling after I put it on. I usually use this when I'm really dry (to the point of being flakey) and desperately need moisture. It does the trick and moisturizes my skin instantly. Compared to many other creams I've used, this cream is not very thick - my skin absorbs it quicker :)

Looks a bit like vaseline XD

Repurchase? 
Yes! I love how it doesn't give me a break out and actually helps my skin when recovering from a break out/ rashes from an allergic reaction.
