Summer Wishlist 2015

Hi to any of my readers left. I figured I would get back into blogging slowly, with a simple wishlist post! The past year I've neglected my skincare a lot, and that combined with dissertation and exam stress has lead to my skin being significantly worse. Looking over my old blog posts, I was amazed at how good my skin used to look.

So, without further ado, here is my wishlist for the upcoming summer.

Etude House Princess Etoinette Crystal Shine Lips Review (PBE102)

 

This is my first makeup review in quite awhile! I have a serious addiction to MLBB shades of lipsticks, and this one is no exception. While I quite like the lipstick for what it is, it definitely won't suit everyone... More after the jump.

Benton Aloe Propolis Soothing Gel (Benton Review Series #4)

First of all, I made a dumb mistake. I gave this product away about a month ago, thinking I wouldn't review it. But then the person I gave it to left it in a different country so... now I can't get any pictures of it. Very sorry about that, I'll be using official pictures instead. 

Anyway, this is the first Benton product I actively disliked, which is realistic I suppose. It would be remarkable if I loved every single product in a series... speaking of which, this is part of my 6-part Benton review series! Feel free to check out the rest.

This review is part of the 6 part Benton review series! 

1. Benton Aloe BHA Skin Toner

2. Benton Snail Bee High Content Essence

3. Benton Snail Bee High Content Mask Pack

4. Benton Aloe Propolis Soothing Gel
5. Benton Snail Bee High Content Lotion

5. Benton Snail Bee High Content Steam Cream

I'll be adding links to the series at the introduction of each review, look out for them over the next couple weeks!

Benton Snail Bee High Content Mask Pack Review (Benton Review Series #3)

In case anyone is wondering, I'm reviewing the Benton line in the order that I would use them. I use this sheet mask after the essence, because I feel like the consistency of the mask's serum fits there! :)

This review is part of the 6 part Benton review series! 

1. Benton Aloe BHA Skin Toner

2. Benton Snail Bee High Content Essence

3. Benton Snail Bee High Content Mask Pack

4. Benton Aloe Propolis Soothing Gel

5. Benton Snail Bee High Content Lotion

6. Benton Snail Bee High Content Steam Cream

I'll be adding links to the series at the introduction of each review, look out for them over the next few weeks! 

Missha All-Around Safe Block Mild Essence Sun Milk Review

First of all- Happy 1 year anniversary of Kittencuddler! My first blog review was on February 26th, 2013~ My boyfriend and I celebrated by eating kebab. It was a very delicious celebration, haha. Anyway, on to the review.

Using sunscreen daily is probably the best thing you can do to prevent premature aging... and by daily, I mean daily- rainy, sunny, snowy, anything! Even if I go outside for 15 minutes, I make sure to put it on. As such, I have bought and used quite a few different sunscreens, both Asian and Western. I originally purchased Missha All-Around Safe Block Mild Essence Sun Milk during the summer, but due to a misunderstanding you can read about later in the review, I barely used it until this past month. Now that I've gotten a chance to use it more regularly, my opinion of it has definitely changed. More details after the jump! 

Benton Snail Bee High Content Essence Review (Benton Review Series #2)

Bbbeeenntttooon!! And so begins the second part of this review series. Given that the Benton line has achieved something of a cult status amongst certain beauty communities, I think most of you know how this review will go. Regardless, I still want to post my thoughts on it, even if I'm half a year late. :)

This review is part of the 6 part Benton review series! 

1. Benton Aloe BHA Skin Toner

2. Benton Snail Bee High Content Essence

3. Benton Snail Bee High Content Lotion

4. Benton Aloe Propolis Soothing Gel

5. Benton Snail Bee High Content Steam Cream

6. Benton Snail Bee High Content Mask Pack

Benton Aloe BHA Skin Toner Review (Benton Review Series #1)

  

Hi everyone! Even though it's taken me close to a month to write another review, I think that I am finally back in the blogging mood. This review will be the first of 6 part Benton review series! I will be reviewing these products in the series:

1. Benton Aloe BHA Skin Toner

2. Benton Snail Bee High Content Essence

3. Benton Aloe Propolis Soothing Gel

4. Benton Snail Bee High Content Lotion

5. Benton Snail Bee High Content Steam Cream

6. Benton Snail Bee High Content Mask Pack

I'll be adding links to the series at the introduction of each review, look out for them over the next few weeks! 

As for this review specifically, I want to start out by saying that I first started using the Benton products in August of 2013. That was also around the time my blogging really slowed down, so I never got around to reviewing them. Now that I'm back in the swing of things, I finally want to share some of my thoughts about these products with my readers. I hope it's helpful, though I acknowledge that this brand has achieved a bit of a cult status amongst certain beauty communities...

Laneige Power Essential Skin Refiner (Moisture) Review

The last of my Laneige products to review! I've been using this product for over 3 months now and I'm excited to finally review it. It is a nice light moisturizing toner, but does it really do anything else besides that? More after the jump.

It's Skin Babyface Petit Blusher (01 Pink) Review

Super sorry for my laziness in posting reviews ): I lost my SD card, and because my camera is from 2005 or something, it can't use the new SD cards that have been released... so I'm trying to find places that ship SD cards from 2005 to me... with limited success. I know that the picture's quality is lacking, but please bear with me! As for the product... it's adorable and you get what you pay for (in a good way).

Baviphat Grape Juicy Mask Sheet

First of all- sorry for the poor quality of this review!! I lost the pictures for this review, so please excuse that ): As for the actual product, its better than previous Baviphat masks, but still nothing great compared to my favorites. I wouldn't repurchase this mask, but it was fine for maintaining moisture and reducing a little bit of redness.

Etude House Color POP Shine Tint (Swing Pop) Swatch & Review

 

I received this tint as a part of my Reddit beauty exchange, and I quite like it! It's not the best tint ever, but it's a unique color and moisturizes nicely, so I cannot really complain. I also want to apologize for the delay in posting, just been busy with moving and settling in! I'm still around though!!!

Laneige Perfect Renew Emulsion Review

My favorite out of the two Perfect Renew products I've tried- it's really just lovely. It has everything I need in an emulsion, and smells nice to boot!

Laneige Perfect Renew Essence Review

 

Since I'm already half way through this essence in a month, I thought that I should get this review done earlier rather than later. I like this essence, but don't love it. It's great for hydration and firming, but I'm just looking for different things for my skin right now.

By the way I'm moving to a different country in about 8 hours.  More after the jump.

Dr. G GOWOONSESANG Perfect Pore Cover BB Cream SPF30 PA++ Review

I figured that I should actually try out some of growing sample hoard- so here's the first of my sample reviews! I got this BB cream in my Reddit Beauty Exchange, so thanks to phlee921 again for sending me all the lovely Korean goodies! (:

Tony Moly Luminous Pure Aura CC Cream Review

 

Quite a nice introduction to CC creams, but not quite my cup of tea- maybe I'm just terrible with blending though :| More details after the jump.

Baviphat Green Tea Juicy Mask Sheet

While it smells nice and is great for a moisture boost... it doesn't really do much else. Definitely a pass.

Laneige Water Sleeping Pack EX Review

This is the second sleeping pack that I've tried, and I have to say that I really like it! I would say that it definitely lives up to the hype. Details after the jump.

Etude House Sweet Recipe Baby Choux Base (Mint) Review

Despite having super high hopes for this base (due partly to the adorable packaging) I'm not amazed with it... :/ More after the jump!

Baviphat Peach Juicy Mask Sheet Review

Suuuper moisturizing- but not much else. The mask itself dried very quickly and fit very poorly. I'm not very impressed by my first Baviphat mask, but only time will tell how I like the others!

Mizon Snail Recovery Gel Cream Review

Super effective, cheap, and cute- what's not to love about this amazing product? (hint: very little)
