Hera Zeal Soap Review

Hello everyone! Today I'm doing a review on Hera's Zeal perfumed soap. I noticed that a lot of people have been searching for a review on this soap, so here you go :)

Description:

• Soft floral fragrance, with a seductive musk scent.
• Formulated with rose extract, natural moisture ingredients
• Pure vegetable substance based, rich foam, mild texture
• For all skin types
• Made in Korea

Instructions:

• Moisten top of soap with water.
• Apply over face with gentle massaging motions, avoiding the eye area.
• Rinse thoroughly with warm water.

Review:

You can use this soap on your face or on your body. I didn't use it on my face because of all of the perfume. My face is doing great right now, and I didn't want to take any chances. It says that it's for all skin types. If you have problems with fragrances, I suggest that you shouldn't use it. 

The scent of this soap is very strong. It smells like a floral scent that an older lady would wear :) After washing with it, I find that the smell is not as strong. It leaves a light floral fragrance on my skin that lasts for hours. This soap lathers and gives me a squeaky clean feeling. It doesn't make my skin feel really dry, but then it doesn't make my skin feel really moisturized either. 

You can by one for $4.99 with free shipping on eBay or you can bid on some. You can also check Amazon or Gmarket. I got mine on eBay a long time ago^^ Hope this review helps some of you!

Hera Gel to Oil Cleaner Review

Hello everyone! Hope you all are doing well!  I've just been busy and tired. I work with children (daycare) and they're a lot of work! There's a baby that just loves me for some reason. I guess she senses that I'm motherly(I have 5 younger siblings^^). She cries EVERY TIME I leave the room. All the babies love me lol!! This year I said that I wanted a vacation so that I could sleep all day, and I ended up having the stomach flu for a week.  Yes 7 days. Be careful what you wish for lol!  Just a little peek into my life :)  Anyway, on to the review...

Hera Gel to Oil Cleanser (70 ml). Full sized is 150 ml

Description:

"This transformer cleanser is fun to use as its gel-type substance turns into oil when handled and washed off. Being noncomedogenic, it can be used comfortably on delicate and trouble-prone skin or oily skin. It contains yeast extracts for detoxification and stimulates the supply of oxygen to the skin. As a special cleanser for massaging as well as cleansing, it delivers detoxification, vitalization and lifting effects all at once."

How to use:

During evening skincare regimen, dispense an adequate amount and apply to the entire face. Then, dissolve the gel by massaging broad parts first. In small circular motions, massage areas around lips, nose and eyes, which are parts that shift a lot and where make-up residue accumulates easily. Wipe off with a tissue or rinse with lukewarm water and wash the face with a cleansing foam.

Gel form

★ Scent? Light fragrance

★ Consistency? Gel to oil

★ Skin Type? All skin types

★ Price? I've seen it for $30-$60 online. 

★ Repurchase? Yes

Verdict:

If you've waited for this review I apologize. I wanted to use it consistently, and see if I was allergic to it. With that being said, I really like this cleanser. I have sensitive, oily, acne prone skin, and I haven't had any allergic reactions. So far, I've only used  DHC's Deep Cleansing Oil, Hera's Gel to Oil Cleanser, and a cleansing oil that I made my self. I like Hera's Gel to Oil Cleanser the best. I use this cleanser to take off my make up and I use it for facial massages. 

It takes off all my makeup including my waterproof  eye makeup. My face doesn't feel tight, but soft and smooth after washing it off. This cleanser doesn't irritate my eyes. I once tried Lancome's Bi-Facil Eye Makeup Remover and it made me break out :( 

I've been using Hera's Gel to Oil Cleanser for a while now and it's almost gone. I'm planning on buying the full sized cleanser soon. A family member of mine is going to Korea next month, so I'm going to see if he could pick this up along with a Big Bang photo for me^^

Biore Acne Mild Care Oil Control Foam Cleanser Review

Biore New Acne Mild Care Oil Control consists of the TRICILOSAN formula which is bacteria-resistant and effective in treating the problematic acne on your face, preventing them from re-appearing. It can form high-density foam which can best perform its function as a cleanser to rinse off all the unwanted oil, dirt, grease on your face, leaving your skin with purified and bright condition.

★ Scent? Light 

★ Consistency? Thick foam

★ Skin Type? All skin types

★ Feel on skin? Gentle. There's no tugging on my face

★ Oil Control? Not really

★ Price? $5.80

★ Repurchase? Yes

Verdict:

I really like this foam cleanser. I purchased it at sasa.com awhile back. No allergic reactions!!!!  I use it in the morning and at night, and it doesn't leave my face feeling tight and dry.  I think that this cleanser is great for acne. I've had only one pimple pop up this month.

It doesn't really do anything for controlling oil. I wash my face around 7 a.m., and my face is oily by the time it's 9 or 10 a.m. Even though it doesn't control my oil, I still think this cleanser is great because of  it's ability to control acne. I should have purchased more than one because it is currently out of stock. I have finally found a great cleanser, and it's out of stock (T_T)  I hope they bring it back.

Mini life update and skin care/hair care haul

Hello everyone! I hope that you all are doing well! I moved to a different house, so I haven't been blogging lately. You don't realize how much stuff you have until you move!!  July-August I was moving and in August I was unpacking and redecorating.  It was so hard to write blog posts because I was going back and forth between homes. My internet and computer was at the new home. I had to rush with my BzzAgent and Influenster reviews because it  had to be submitted by a certain date, and I wanted to do my giveaway quickly before I forgot. Everything is finally back to normal now and I can finally relax!

I washed walls on my birthday (July 18) instead of relaxing. Fun, fun, fun :P I'm 25 years old!! My sibling make fun of me and say that I'm 5 years away from being old. I don't care. I'll still look young no matter what age! My birthday gifts to myself was a daybed frame, a nice pillowtop mattress, and a new computer desk. I just realized that I never wrote a birthday post. I was planning on writing one in July but that never happened lol.  I took photos of my cake though.

The cake was from Sam's Club

Chocolate on chocolate topped with chocolate!

Ate it on a leftover Avengers plate from my little brothers birthday. I tried not to get cake on Thor ^^

I still need curtains for my room. The sun rises on the side that my room is on. It's like the sun smacks me on my face everyday and says GOOD MORNING lol! Other than that, I'm enjoying the house.  I'm happy because I get to see cute bunny rabbits in the backyard. My other house had different animals that would try to live under the shed, so the rabbits left my area. Animals love to move in where I live. I tell them that my house is not Noah's ark lol! Maybe I should try to turn them into my animal minions MUHAHAHA....

RAWR!!

My bird minions. Only 3 signed up :P

Well that's about it with my life update^^ Haul time!

I'm planning on stretching my relaxer till October. I'll be six months post.  This product has helped a lot especially after I wash my hair!! I need to always have this in stock. This finishing mist is also sold at Sally's Beauty Supply.  I looked online and they have a bigger bottle. 

I've only seen the Happy Me skin care products on drugstore.com I bought the moisturizer because I liked the fact that it's for acne plus, it has SPF in it. It has a strong herbal scent but it goes away. 

Sasa:

Biore Acne Gentle Care Oil Control Foam Cleanser

This was the only thing that I purchased from Sasa during the time when there was free shipping without a price limit. I told myself not to purchase anything else from Sasa that day. I was a good girl lol!

I know for a fact that I'll be writing a review on the Biore Foam Cleanser and the Happy Me Moisturizer. If you guys want me to do a review on any of the other product please let me know!

I kid you not, everytime GD comes back haters lose their minds!! If you don't like him then don't watch or listen to his music. It's simple. I read some of the comments and went into “Fan Mama Mode”.  I wanted to log onto my other YouTube account and tell people off, but I didn’t do it lol. It would be pointless.

Verdict:

I've tried a sample of the Waterfall Serum from the Hera Aquabolic line and loved it, so I decided to try the Hera Age Way Line.  All of the products absorbed quickly into my skin and left if smooth but, everything except for the Eye Contour Cream broke me out.  I don't know if I broke out because of the perfume, or if I broke out because it was too heavy for my oily skin.  I have sensitive skin, but I love trying new skin care products. I can't help it lol! I'm constantly searching for the best products.

 I've only seen Hera products on eBay, royalbeautycosmetics.com, cosme-de.com, colorfulcircle.com, and G Market.  I still want to try Hera's Aquabolic Balancing line but I'm a little scared. The moisturizing line is for dry skin and the balancing line is for combination/oily skin. I hope this helps those of you that might have been curious about this skin care line :) 

Be safe and have a great day!!

My Beauty Diary Royal Jelly Mask Review

Purchased from SaSa (10 masks per box)

This face mask contains Royal Jelly Extract, Arbutin, Aloe Vera and Hydrolyzed Yeast Protein for hydrating, anti-aging and brightening results. 


It helps to restore damaged skin and removes dead skin cells for softening and youthful appearance. 


Royal Jelly: efficiently nourish your skin while, simultaneously, reducing fine lines and plump your skin. 

FYI: This packet is supposed to be yellowish-beige.  I had to lighten it up because of the lighting in my room 

Directions:
Cleanse and tones face thoroughly before applying mask. Put the mask on and leave it for 20 - 30 minutes, then peel off. Gently massage the excess essence on the face and neck to assist absorption. No rinsing is necessary. Follow with your daily moisturizer. 



Ingredients:

Water, Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Butylene Glycol, Ryal Jelly Extract, Hydrolyzed Yeast Protein, Morus Albaroot Extract , Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Polysorebate 20, Triethanolamine, Sodium Hyaluronate, Xanthan Extract, Citrus Acid, Acer Saccharum (Sugar Maple) Extract, Arbutin, Arinca Montana Flower Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Fruit Extract, Citrus Medica Limonum Peel Extract, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber)Fruit Extract, Dimethyl Silanol Hyaluronate, GentianaLutea Root Extract, Hydrolyzed Albumen, Hydrolyzed Rice Prothin, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Kappaphycus Alvareall Extract, Laminaria Digitata Extract, Malva Sylvestris (Mallow) Flower Extract, Methylisothiazolinone, Nasturtium Officenale Flower/Leat Extract, Saccharum Officenarium Extract, Strene/Acrylates Copolymer, Carbomer, Iodorpopynyl Butylcarbamate, Polyglutamic Acid, Fragrance, Sodium Hydroxide.

★ Scent? It has a very faint smell

★Skin Type? All skin types

★Feel on skin? Refreshing

★ Repurchase? Yes

Verdict:

I like it, just not as much as the Apple Polyphenol Mask. My skin was noticeably brighter after removing the mask. The brightening effects lasted about two days during cooler weather and about 1 day with warmer weather. If your looking for something to temporarily brighten up your face, this mask will do the job. I want to try the 2 step autumn repair snail mask. It sounds gross, but I still want to try it :)
