Hi guys, my name is Marie and welcome to my kawaii world~
So today I wanted to share with you my skincare empties of 2019
These are all the products that I've completely used up and
I think that I'm missing a few but I tried to remember to save the bottles as much as I could
I'm gonna go in order of like skincare routine starting from the cleansers - all the way to the moisturizers, at the end
This is my favorite cleanser of the year. It's the Neogen
Real Fresh Foam green tea cleanser and I feel like I've used this the entire year
and my husband has used it too and it just lasted us so long
There's a little bit left at the bottom of the bottle, but it's almost completely empty and I really like this foaming cleanser
I don't usually like foaming cleansers because I feel like they strip my skin dry
but this one still leaves a lot of moisture and
it's just really light and gentle, it makes for a great second sub cleanser and if you're not wearing any makeup
It makes you a great daily cleanser. So I would definitely repurchase this
This is up there with the CosRX low pH cleanser. I like both of them equally
This one is just more foaming and the other one is more of a gel cleanser. So it depends on your preference
I'm kind of liking the foaming cleanser this year. Next up is another Neogene product
It's the Real Polish honey and sugar and this is a sugar scrub
I was looking for a substitute for the Skin Food black sugar scrub, which is probably my favorite sugar scrub out there
But I don't know what happened to Skin Food in Korea. It seems like all the stores have closed down
I think their website is still up, but I don't really have any word to buy the sugar scrub
so I purchased this one to try to substitute
If I actually don't like it as much, it's okay, and there's nothing wrong with it. It's a good
basic sugar scrub cleanser, but I think I prefer the Skin Food one. So I'm gonna try to look for something
That's a little more similar to that next time. Next up, is this Real Cica pad by Neogen and
when I first tried this I didn't really like it that much and I just continued to use it up just because
It was there but I don't think it's as hydrating as some of the other toner pads like the CosRX one
I really like the Moisture up pad and compared to that, this one is not as great.
I think this is probably better for people who have acne protein [?] because it has Cica in it and
for me it just didn't do a whole lot but I did end up using it up because they are toner pads and I feel like
It's wasteful not to use them. But yeah, this was okay. I probably wouldn't repurchase
I have so many Neogen products this time but next up is the
Gentle gauze peeling wine Bio-peel pad. I really like this one
I have used the lemon one and the green tea one before but I think I like the scent of this better
I can't really tell the difference between the three pads
They all seem to work the same for me
But they are a good physical exfoliator and they just feel so refreshing
So I will use these once or twice a week to exfoliate my skin and
I have definitely repurchased these in the past and I will do so in the future.
Another toner pad that I've used up is the One-step Moisture up pad by CosRX.
This is the old model
They have a new bottle now, but this is actually my favorite toner pad out there. It's a moisture up pad
So it's super moisturizing. I think they have the
Original clear pad which is for acne prone skin, but my skin is dry
So this one is really good for me
And I find it a lot more hydrating than the other toner pads out there.
Next I have the Dr.Jart+ Ceramidin Liquid
This is a favorite toner of mine and my husband also likes this so we have used many bottles of this actually
It's just a liquid toner and it has a really good consistency
And then in the summer, sometimes you can just use this as a moisturizer alone
I think that my husband uses the most of this product but I also like it. I feel like this is a little
expensive for the amount that you get and that there are other
Toners out there that are just as good and less expensive, but I think it's a great product
Next up is the Hada Labo Goku Jyun toner. I always pronounce that wrong
But this is one of my favorite toners out there. It's super hydrating. It's super thick
It's great for people with dry skin and I use it in both the winter and summer and it's really great for winter
just because it's so thick. It's also really gentle non-irritating. This is one of my all-time favorite toners out there
I've been mostly using Korean beauty products, but this is a
Japanese product, probably my favorite Japanese beauty product out there. Okay.
I've gone through multiple bottles of this. This is just one of them
it's the Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
and this leaves my skin feeling still plump and smooth and
Using this in combination with like a vitamin C serum, I felt like this was like my power
skincare routine product but I like to alternate between different toners and essences
just to try out different things and also so my skin doesn't plateau [?] and get used to one thing
I don't really know if that's how it works. But this is one of my Holy Grail products
I always repurchase this and I'm using another bottle, right now
So I went through a phase where I was using a lot of fermented products and I decided to try out the CosRX
Galactomyces 95 tone balancing essence and I felt like
it wasn't that remarkable
I don't think that there was anything wrong with it
it was still very hydrating and it didn't irritate my skin at all, but I didn't feel like I had any
super remarkable results from this but I think that the price is also pretty reasonable. So
Yeah, if you find that fermented, that must work really well for you
Then you might want to give this a try, but I probably won't repurchase. I also got this
AHA/BHA clarifying treatment toner by CosRX and I really do like this brand
Although I can't remember any remarkable results from using this clarifying treatment toner
It was a mist. So maybe it's not as effective as something like a serum that you put on your face, but
This one did get emptied out. Yeah, I can't remember any like remarkable results from this. Okay next up
I have the Whamisa Organic flowers toner deep rich now
This was an amazing toner for me and I definitely would repurchase this
It's a little bit more pricey than some of these other toners by like CosRX
but it's very effective and I felt like this was really hydrating for my skin.
It really pumped up my skin and this is something that I always recommend to people. It's such a joy to use
I really love the scent of it and I really like the result as well
I also want to give a shout out to the Whamisa Hydrogel mask that's one of my favorite
masks out there. It's a little more expensive than your typical sheet mask or hydrogel mask
but I feel like after using it my skin looks really good
So that is also something that I would recommend even though I don't have like an empty package for it
It's a single use item so it's kind of pricey
but if you have a special event
then it's something that you might want to give a try.
The Timestop Collagen Ampoule by The Plant Base
I remember really liking this product
I think it's like some kind of mushroom, "Hericium erinaceum mushroom plant extracts base" and
this is a really fun product just because the packaging is really cool
it's like this giant eye dropper that... You push this down and it brings up some of the serum
I feel like this left my skin really plump. So this is something that I would definitely consider
Repurchasing it's also like really fun and pretty packaging but there's not a ton of product in here
Okay. Now for the serums, I have two vitamin C terms
The first one is the Dear Klairs Freshly juiced vitamin C drop
and prior to using this I haven't really used a lot of vitamin C products. I did use one by Obagi quite a while ago, but
I can't remember how good that one was
This one was a good introductory vitamin C product because
my skin was really sensitive to vitamin C and I gradually built up tolerance by using this product
I think there's a low concentration of vitamin C in here
So it's a good starter vitamin C serum
And then I use that along with the freshly juiced vitamin E mask and I love this. I love the texture of it
It's really light but still hydrating and it's supposed to help your skin absorb the vitamin C better I think
Okay after I got used to using vitamin C with the Klairs I graduated to this Maelove the glow maker antioxidant serum and this
Is an American product using this has like just changed my skin so much and transformed my skin
I don't know if it's the actual product itself or the fact that it's like a little bit stronger vitamin C
But I feel like after I started using this my skin became a lot brighter and clearer
And then I stopped using it for a while
So I feel like my skin is a little bit dull again, and then I repurchased it
So I just started using the new bottle but the thing is that this goes bad really quickly
Once the vitamin C starts to oxidize
Or turn yellow it becomes a little bit less
Effective and I was able to use this up completely without having it oxidized at all. But this one oxidize really quickly
I feel like I was only halfway through the bottle and it was already bright yellow
So I was like is this even effective but I just continue to use it day and night
So feel free to use this generously use it every day because it goes bad really quickly
but it's also very effective. This is probably my favorite skincare product of 2019
Next I have the
Mizon All-in-one Snail Repair Cream and I love snail products. I I like this one very much
It's definitely you know
a moisturizer that's great for summer something that I would definitely repurchase in the future just because I like snail products
I feel like they're really effective for me. And this one was no exception. I do like this
I also like the CosRX snail cream, but
Yeah, I like to use snail creams in the summertime because I feel like they're a good lightweight moisturizer the only thing about this
Is it's not that big you don't get a ton of product. I don't feel like it lasted me very long but
yeah, I like this. And then the last one is something that I always use.
This is my stable sun cream, it's the Aloe Soothing Sun Cream by CosRX and
I use tons of bottles of these I use these- my kids use this sunscreen as well
And so does my husband so we go through it really quickly and I like to cut the top off
to get to the product inside
Because there's actually like I don't know
two to three days worth of product in here that you don't get to or
You can't actually reach unless you cut the thing open
So I'll cut it open put it in a ziplock bag and then use it for a few days.
The winners of this year were
The Neogen foaming green tea cleanser and
the Maelove vitamin C serum and
Also, I loved this Whamisa toner
This is my absolute favorite toner of the year. And also this one the Hada Labo. I loved this.
This is so good. I think it's very similar to the Isntree toner. So I use this side-by-side and I think that they're interchangeable
Those are my skincare empties of 2019. I don't think that I have everything here, but
Most of the stuff I've used is here. I just wanna give a big shout out to my patreons
