Review: LANEIGE Moisture Care Miniature Set

UPDATE!!
20 December 2014
Since I saw many visitors read this post, regarding LANEIGE set, I will add my review that I have been using LANEIGE for nine months and I have no significant skin problem ever since. So, as a girl with sensitive skin, I highly recommend you to try this product or at least try the miniature first :) Now I'm using almost complete product from refiner, emulsion, waterbank essence, waterbank gel, night cream and soap, plus eye cream.

Will probably share the pictures in this blog when I have time. Meanwhile, feel free to ask me anything :)

Hello everyone.

My days are getting more hectic as I am already working. But I always keep in mind that no matter how busy I am, keeping skin moist is a must.

I'm gonna post my review about Laneige, a beauty skin care product from Korea, with Song Hye Gyo as the ambassador. There are many blogs out there that have made such review about this product, but I'm gonna post my version because I think that sharing good thing is a must :)

Before you continue, I will explain about my skin condition. So my skin type is HIGHLY SENSITIVE. It gets easily irritated by skin care product, even with those whose tagline is "specially for sensitive skin". I have used numerous doctor's products, several products which sold in the mall, and countless products that I used only thrice before they made my face RED and irritated.

In case you have the same skin type like me, this are the symptoms of irritation to my face:

- my face turns red, especially on cheeks and forehead.

- my eye lids are bloated as if i was bitten by an insect.

- acnes appear on the chin, cheeks and forehead.
- face gets very itchy.

How about you?

So, oneday I challenged my self to try Laneige after comprehend the reviews from people from around the world about this product. And today is exactly 3 weeks after using Laneige. At first I felt worried for the possibility of having another money-wasting product but Thank God this time it works well.

Let's go to the main topic. I will show you my very honest opinion and review, also with picture of myself before and after using Laneige.

In brief, now my face looks really different, it is better as I don't have flecks anymore. And thank God ever since I used Laneige, I don't have to worry about a sudden acne appearing in the morning. But take a note that you must balance a skin care product with drinking a lot of water and sleep before it's too late.

My opinion about Laneige:

Pros:

+ smell good

+ works well on my face

+ design of the bottles is luxurious (not the bottles in my pictures as they are miniatures, but bottles on the mall)

Cons:

+ quite pricey, BUT worth the price. One bottle can remain until up to three months.
Details: If you buy in department store, you will need around 1,000,000++ IDR to buy the whole product (skin refiner, balancing emulsion, water bank essence, water sleeping pack, eye gel and the very famous BB cushion powder). However, you can consult first about the products that you really need so you don't have to buy them all.

Will I re-purchase? Definitely YES.

STEP 1: Power Essential Skin Refiner.

It is like a toner but more viscous, and is the first step before you apply emulsion and water bank. Make sure it dries on your face first before you apply the emulsion.

STEP 2: Moisture Balancing Emulsion.

Apply this after the refiner dries on your face.

STEP 3: Water Bank Essence.

I can say that this is the main cream. According to the Laneige skin's consultant at Sogo, we can apply Water Bank Essence without having to apply skin refiner and emulsion. I still follow the first and second step though.

STEP 3: Water Sleeping Pack.

Apply this ONLY once or twice a week. On the other days you don't use this, you can apply skin refiner and balancing emulsion though. Btw, it smells good. It is famous that when you are stressed, you can inhale in this cream for 3 seconds :)

This is the first day I use Laneige. It was about two weeks ago. My skin was really dry and some acnes were there.

BELOW ARE THE RESULT AFTER TWO WEEKS.

My face with no make up at all. I only apply Laneige refiner, emulsion, and water bank. And slight powder to cover.

*Happy Face*

Perfect gift for everyone

Hello everyone! This is my first post in 2014 btw :D I feel like my life in 2013 has been a very priceless gift, as I got many new valuable things in my life. One of the was my boyfriend.

Talking about gift, he's having his birthday this month. I think, finding a gift for men is mooorree difficult than for women, or is it just because I am a woman? Hehe.

Back to a gift for my boyfriend, I plan to buy him something useful. So, as an amateur, I did googling to find out what men will love as a birthday gift. Trust me, asking Google "What is a birthday gift for boyfriend?" is no help whatsoever because the results show stuffs like: desk lamp, wine glass, battery (what the hell), etc. So, as an Indonesian girl who prioritizes physical appearance and the use, I'm just gonna buy something he can wear in daily.

That was a time when I found Zalora. As I always say in this blog, I am such an online shopper. So, I think I can find references of the gift I can give to him. The stuffs vary from top, bottom, bag, shoes of any type and occasion, fragrances and accessories. Not only that, Zalora also sells products for woman. But what makes me even happier is, this website sells brand we usually see in department store. Unique, no? So, without me noticing it, I successfully spent around two hours to get stuffs for my boyfriend (and for myself). Guess I can never stop shopping online.

I'm going crazy as I find out what Zalora offers to us:

1. FREE SHIPPING. hurray! Yes I am exaggerating, but for an online-shopper addict like me, free shipping is very helpful as I can save more money.

2. So many products for men and women with detail of pictures (from different angle), the overview of the brand, and measurement. Smart!

3. THE BRANDS.

Zalora sells some of my favorite brands like X(S.M.L), C by Chic Simple, Marie Claire, and so on.

And don't worry about the price. Zalora is just like a department store in a form of website because they have range of price just like the goodies you buy in mall. Psst, the price starts at Rp. 75,000,-

And I'm gonna share my findings for him, for myself and for Chinese New Year which happen to be on 31 January this month.

Btw, if you somewhat also confuse about what to give to someone, or even for yourself and need one stop shopping webstore, you can visit Zalora's website at www.zalora.co.id and visit their facebook page HERE.
