Being a beauty blogger means becoming a human shade tester. Almost all beauty bloggers would totally agree with this. I mean, one of the many things we do before we trust a brand is to test it on our own. We enjoy testing products, really. Like the moment we swatch a specific product on our skin we instantly know whether the product is nice or not. Cool eh?

Hello everyone! Today, I'm reviewing two products from my recent loot from iWhite Korea. This brand is new to me and I am very lucky to be given the opportunity to review their products. They sent me two kinds from their line which they're offering in the market, the Aqua Moisturizing Cream and the Facial Cream. Believe me, this is my first time to put on a moisturizer and a facial cream on my sensitive face. As I've said from my last post, I easily get pimples when I put on a different product. So far, make-up products like powders and BB Creams doesn't give me breakouts. I'm a little scared and excited at the same time with putting on new products on my face since I haven't tried it. And yet, i'm still on the lookout for products that would make my face fresh and glowing without getting face monsters. Arggg!
Anyways, before anything else let me introduce you the brand.
iWhite Korea is a whitening skin care product formulated in Korea. It specializes not only in lightening the skin tone, but also in improving the overall texture of the skin through its moisturizing and rejuvenating natural plant extracts refined through Bio-Nanotechnology.
iWhite Korea offers a wide range of skin products like moisturizing facial wash, skin-clearing facial mask, dirt removing nose pack, facial creams and more! It was launched by Biocostech Philippines in year 2004.
So, let's move on to my review. First in line is the Acqua Moisturizing Cream.
The first thing I noticed about this product is the packaging. The Facial Cream product has a very simple design as compared to the Aqua moisturizing pack since it has a very lovely design and color. It caught my attention, really. I heard they're working on re-packaging their products which is nice, because more and more we get really attracted to packagings. Just like other Korean products that were introduced to us here in the Philippines like Etude house, Tony Moly and The Face Shop.
I love the Acqua moisturizing cream! It smells really good and glides smoothly on to my face. Feels like i'm washing my face with water but makes my face more refreshed. It's non-greasy, non-sticky and leaves your face hydrated. My first time to see a light blue colored moisturizer too!
The facial cream I must say is a must-have for any beauty routines. However, if you have a darker skin tone, I believe you shouldn't use this since it leaves a white stain to your skin. I also tried using it as a base and I can say that this works really well! It dries matte and I love putting some on my under eyes as a highlighter.
This cream contains Mulberry, Panax Ginseng and Titanium Dioxide. Retails for Php 169.00.
Here's the swatch with the Acqua Moisturizer on the left and the Facial Cream on the right.
With flash. See how white it looks like when blended? Don't worry it fades in when topped off with pressed powder.
So, my skin care routine starts with putting on my Acqua moisturizer, then the Facial Cream, BB Cream and pressed powder. And off I go! I can say my first time putting on a moisturizer and a facial cream is super fun! Still scared though, but so far I've not experienced any breakouts since my 1 month experience. I also think my face has lightened more, I'm impressed with how it works well. If you're following me on Instagram @ heyakhrazey, you will see a big difference. You guys should try it!

I've been sent two products by Hayan Korea for review. The BB Cream with Whitening & Anti Wrinkle effect and a nail polish. I'm happy that this new brand has been taking a lot of good reviews from beauty bloggers recently and that got me really curious about their products. Hayan is a Korean brand as I mentioned earlier and is similar to some local brands here in the Philippines. They already established about 16 branches in the Philippines and is still growing! Hopefully, they open a branch near me so I can hoard products from them. lol They sell various types of products, from toners, serums, whitening products, peeling gels/creams, cleansers, powders, lipsticks, eye shadows and many more! Prices are reasonable and friendly, but be sure to grab this one first before they change it to the regular price.
The first product i'll be reviewing for them is this BB Cream. If you are the type who wants a glowing/dewy finish this is perfect for you, but if you have an oily type of skin, I don't recommend you use this. I was actually sent a darker shade #23 -No.100, but I tried applying it on my face and it was okay when blended. What I did to fix it was to top it off with a brighter shade of powder which I got from Saizen. This BB Cream gives a light feeling on my face and I feel like I've acquired a porcelain face just like Koreans too, it's dewy and moisturizing! This on'es really different from the other BB Creams I've tried before, i'll try to use this until the last drop and see if it would really brighten up my face more.
Their packaging are simple and nice. I like how their BB Creams are packaged, it has a cone shaped nozzle with a tiny hole. If you squeezed too much you can return it back by doing the opposite way of squeezing the tube. I don't know if you've experienced that too. teehee!
This will show you how it looks like when blended with my skin. You can easily notice the one with BB Cream and the part without BB Cream. I didn't know what magic happened when I applied it on my face because it seems fine. O.o Maybe, it adjusted with my skin tone? It slightly covered some of my imperfections. You can see on my cheeks I got few zits and somehow the BB Cream helped cover the redness.
All in all, I like this BB Cream, it's much like a moisturizer and it somehow covers imperfections. I am in love with how it makes my face soft, dewy and light. If you have time please do visit Hayan Korea's Facebook page for more info or visit a branch near you.
WHAT I LIKE ABOUT IT :
- Gives a light feeling when applied to the face
- Dewy type (not for oily skin)
- Very handy
- Whitening and Anti-wrinkle
- Nice packaging
- Smooth when applied
- Adjusted with my skin tone
WHAT I DON'T LIKE ABOUT IT :
- Doesn't give full coverage
RATING : 4/5

Hello everyone! As I promised from my Instagram post. I'll review this gel cleanser which I recently bought from TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL shop in their first ever branch in the Philippines. Visit them at Mall Of Asia Unit SGH 1&2, Entertainment Mall level 2. Anyway, as I went inside their shop, I felt like I wanna have everything! It's really cool! Their packages are very creative and cute, completely different from any other make-up products from Korea. I really like their products a lot, most especially their BB lunch boxes and face cleansers. So, for my first purchase, I got the SITKOZA Gel cleanser, which has a very nice packaging. I can't resist it, so I bought this one for me to try. Who wouldn't like metallic, neon and skulls together?

At the back of the packaging it says "Take care of it while you have it. Life is beautiful. Because it's short." . It's nice that it has an inspirational quote aside from all the Korean description below, which I can't read. I'm sorry. lol
Let me show you the texture of the gel, it's clear and very smooth to apply. I use cotton patches to remove my make-up, but just the right amount first for my eyes. With just two swipes, it removed my gel liner quickly. I did not experience blurriness in my eyes even if there's a subtle oil consistency. I heard a few reviews about Shu uemura cleansing oils or cleansers have the tendency to make your eyes blurred in a few minutes.
Besides that, Too Cool For School's products are organic! How do ya like that? Would you believe if I tell you that all this time I only use a white Safe Guard soap to cleanse my face? I know, it's a little bit harsh for my face, but it really works for me.

Here's my face, the left side with make-up and the other side removed with the gel cleanser. It removes my gel liner and Majolica Majorca Mascara in seconds! But, don't forget that you need to wash it off with water after cleansing. Thank goodness for this amazing product. This is a must-have! For only Php 555.00, you get an amazing cleanser. They also have these cleansers in wipe form, haven't tried it but they're good for traveling.
WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT :
- Very nice texture
- Removes make-up easily
- It has a very nice scent
- Cute and unique packaging
- Doesn't irritate my sensitive skin
- Affordable
WHAT I DON'T LIKE :
- You have to wash it off with water after cleansing.
OVERALL RATING :
5/5
Thanks for reading my review! Til my next Too Cool For School review!
Hey guys! Here's my review about the much raved Lash King mascara from Majolica Majorca. I got this for only P499 but the original price is P799. What a great deal! I just don't know if they still have that promo now. Anyways, don't you just love the packaging? I'm a sucker for all things fancy and cute like this. And ever since they brought this Japanese brand here in the Philippines, I've always been a huge fan. I super love their liquid eyeliners, but didn't had the chance to review it. Maybe on my next purchase :)
So, let me show you how this one works.
This is my bare lashes.
FIRST COAT : My lashes are already long but one thing I always need to consider when buying a mascara is volume. With my first coat, you can already see volume and extra length. That is with the help of those tiny strands mixed with the mascara. Actually, this is my first time to see one of that kind. And, it's really unique.
With eyes open
WHAT I LIKE ABOUT IT :
- It gives a lasting finish, volume and length.
- The packaging is really nice and unique
- I like the tiny strands that adds volume to the lashes
- It has 2 available colors (Brown and Black)
- Waterproof
- It doesn't smudge
- It dries fast
WHAT I DON'T LIKE ABOUT IT :
- It has an unusual smell that is very distracting, but doesn't stay on your lashes.
- Too expensive but I'm glad they did a promo
- Needs an oil cleanser to remove it
All in all, my rating is 4/5, this is a very nice product and I would purchase it again. If you can see, I don't really curl my lashes since I just needed volume. So, with this product, I can say that I'm satisfied and contented.
I hope you like this review, please let me know your thoughts about this product too.
Leave your comments, and I'd be very glad to read it.
