Innisfree The Green Tea Seed Serum Review
As I promised in my haul which was a while ago now, I said I will do reviews on the products that I have bought on cosmetic-love and I am now here to do the review on the Innisfree The Green Tea Seed Serum.


"Enriched with Green Tea Seed and Green complex from pure Jeju island. Green Tea Pure revives dry, stressed skin by supplying abundant moisture."
This serum is made for those people with dry skin, and although my skin type is combination/oily my skin is also dehydrated at the same time, and my skin has been getting drier because of the cold weather and acne treatments, so I thought this product will be perfect to soothe my skin.

I first heard about this product from a Korean youtuber 'AhraMaBlog' or her blog http://www.cyworld.com/aradazzblog and from there I did a lot of research into this product and at first I was skeptical about trying this out since I didn't have dry skin and thought it would be too greasy on my skin. It is my first time trying a hydrating/moisture serum since majority of my previous ones are all to do with oil control, pore minimizing or acne fighting, but I thought I would give this a go and see if it would help with my dehydrated and slightly dry skin. Furthermore, when I was researching on this product I couldn't find a whole lot of reviews in English so I am here to give you more information and hopefully help you out in some way if you were thinking of buying this product.


The serum itself comes in a 80ml plastic bottle, which is a lot of product compared to many other serums. I usually prefer serums that come in a glass bottle because they look sturdier and more elegant but because 'Innisfree' is a eco friendly brand it makes more sense that it comes in a plastic packaging than glass. at the back it even asks the customer to return the bottle to innisfree when you have finished the product, I'm guessing so that they can recycle it. Of course this only applies to people who live in Korea.


Onto the actual product, in the picture the serum looks almost translucent but in person the product comes in a very slight milky shade. The texture is between being water and a gel type, it's slightly thicker than water but much lighter than a gel, which makes it feel really light weight when applied.


The product spreads really easily on the skin and you don't need to use a lot, 1-2 pumps is enough to cover your whole face and neck. Also, because the product a very light consistency, the product doesn't take a long time for it to absorb into the skin which is always a bonus if you don't like waiting forever for products to be completely absorbed.

Price: 5/5
Fragrance: 3.5/5
Texture: 5/5
Hydration/Moisture: 4/5
Effect: 3.8/5

Overall Comment:
I like this serum, and would definitely recommend it for those with combination/dry skin. I found the moisture level to be just enough for me, but if you suffer from dry-very dry skin, this serum may not be the best moisture serum for you and you may need to layer another serum or use a more moisturizing cream afterwards. This serum makes my dry and dehydrated areas of my skin feel baby soft!
The fragrance is smells fresh and natural, but it is quite strong so if you know you can't use any skin care items that have a strong scent to it you might want to skip on this one. The scent doesn't linger and goes within 10-15 minutes once absorbed into the skin.
However, I found that this serum only provided me hydration but didn't cure the dryness/dehydration in my skin. The effects only lasted temporarily when I had the product on and when I wash my face again my skin became dry again.

Would I repurchase: Yes, but only in the winter since I will feel this is going to be too moisturizing for my skin in the summer.

Take Care ~ ♥

Ciracle Pore Control Tightening Serum ~ Review
Hi everyone, this will be my first blog post on here so please tell me if there's anything I can improve on and today I will be posting a review of the Ciracle Pore Control Tightening Serum which I have recently tried out, I bought this on wishtrend  when I was running low of my previous serum I was using and after coming across several reviews I gave in and bought this myself. 
INFORMATION
Containing natural botanical extracts helps making your face pure, healthy & tightening.
This special formula is infused with chamomile, witch hazel extracts and is safe to use on sensitive skin.


Here are some pictures of the product:
 The bottle of product and the packaging/box it comes with
 The product comes with a pipet dispenser
 (sorry this is quite blurry my camera wouldn't focus) The product itself is yellow and is a little thicker than water but it is still quite watery
when the product is spread out on the back of the hand
I have been using this product for about 2/3 months now since I got it, although on the packaging it says to apply it every morning and night, I only apply this in the morning as I have another treatment for my night time regime. Also I use this right after applying my toner and wait for around 5 minutes before applying my moisturizer to ensure that my skin has absorbed most of the product.
GOOD
- The product absorbs into the skin almost immediately
- Tightened my pores around my nose and my cheeks
- a little goes a very long way 
- It reduced the amount of blackheads I had

BAD
- It smells like medicine
- The scent of the product is quite strong so if you have sensitive skin or you just don't like strong scents in your skin products you will not like this
- It can be quite messy if you dispense out too much product because of the watery consistency, I've dripped some of the product all over the place for the first few days of using it, but you'll get the hang of it quickly
- The packaging instructions and ingredients is all in Korean with a paragraph of English introducing the product, so if you can't read Korean this may be an issue for you.

3.5/5
Overall, I like this product in general, it did what it promised to do on the packaging which is a good thing, but I wished the product wasn't as heavily scented as I don't really like putting strong fragranced things onto my face as my skin is quite sensitive and very acne prone. I personally would recommend this product to people who are looking for a product to help reduce the appearance of there pores. I have average pores, nothing too big but they are definitely noticeable if you look closely at my face so I'm not sure how this product would work if you have minor pores. But for me this is probably the best treatment for covering up my pores out there that I have tried.
