Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Lotion

I have read good reviews on this product from other beauty blogs i read and since i have run out of toner since like few months ago i decided to give this a try...lol!

Its called moisturizing lotion but its actually toner. According to its description, 1gm hyaluronic acid is able to hold up to 6 litres of water...and this being SUPER hyaluronic acid (LOL!) it can retain twice that amount! :D Sounds a little exaggerated....but it might be true...



You can't rub it into your face like you do a normal cream/toner, you need to PAT it INTO your face. Normally, i need to pat for around 5-10 mins till my arms become a little sore. Which is why i only use it at nite :P

After the patting, you will feel that your face is smooth and velvety :)
My face feels so moisturized i m tempted to not apply moisturizer after that...hehehe...

After around 3 weeks of using this, i can actually feel my skin becoming fairer and more moisturized...it is smoother with less un-evenness...so i guess this product works too! lol...

the other good thing about this is, it is alcohol free! I got this at RM34.88 from guardian (i believe it is available exclusively only at guardian). They were actually having discounts that time so i m not too sure the original price. It should be less than RM50 but one bottle could last you very long i think. After 3 weeks, my lotion has reduced only a teenny bit :)

Etude House Goodbye Dark Circle Eye Cream

I wandered into Etude House recently after having ignored the little pink shop for so long. I was on the lookout for an eye gel but was still uncertain as to which brand i should try out. So since they were having a sale, i might as well ask the SA for an eye cream recommendation. She brought this one out for me ...




Goodbye Eye Circle Eye Cream (what a mouthful). Since it was quite cheap (RM45.90), i decided to give it a try. Don't you just love the little raccoon with one of his "black eye" erased off??Keke...

It comes with the eye cream of course...



One thing that convinced me this was going to work was its ingredients. The active ingredients are : broccoli, slim tea complex (mate tea,green coffee). and i know eye creams with caffeine have been known to work! lol

It also comes with this transparent massage stick thingy. At first, i thought it was a tube of serum...dont you think the transparent handle looks like serum? LOL! Cos the SA was quite persistent in reminding me that i need to dot that stick under my eye THREE times she specifically mentioned :D



Only when i came back, i realised its just a massage stick =_="

However, here is my verdict...i actually think this eye cream works! I have tried a lot of eye creams and none have really worked unfortunately :( and i have pretty bad eye bags and recently...i also have quite prominent dark circles :(

I dont know whether its just me but i have really noticed my dark circles diminishing slowly...even if i'm just imagining it, the skin under my eye has become smoother after using the eye cream...and the tiny little bumps/oil seeds has slowly dissapeared too after i start using it.
