REVIEW | Peripera Wholly Deep Jewel Pot

Hello again my lovely readers! Today’s review is going to be about the Wholly Deep Jewel Pot by the brand Peripera from Korea. This is a product that have been raved about by beauty youtuber Tati Westbrook from @glamlifeguru and also our local makeup artist Nuex Rosli. Tati use them on her daily makeup routine while Nuex uses on her brides, models and his clients. Peripera Wholly Deep Jewel Pot is actually a cream glitter eye shadow that you use can use it alone as an eye shadows or on top of another eyeshadows. You can also use it as shadow base just like a MAC Paint Pots. So because of all the raves and craziness about how great this products are, I know I had to get my hands on these babies.

I managed to grab two of the Peripera Wholly Deep Jewel Pot in #1 Be Illumi and #7 Be Trendy from Hermo. Now be informed that the labelling of these products is different by country or region only the similarity is the numbering. For example I got #1 Be Illumi but in Korea it is labelled #1 Self Glowing Goddess while in the USA it is labelled #1 Be Illuminating. And the list goes on.

REVIEW

My first initial thoughts when I first swatch it on my hand is that they are super glittery or glitterly as NikkiTutorials would says. They are somewhat have that mousse kinda feeling when I touch them. Like a glitter in mousse formulation. They are not spongey like a Colourpop shadows but more like a wet spongey moussey formulation. You get what I mean.

#1 Be Illumi is a light gold glitter mousse shadow with a hint of a pink. Between the two, this one has bigger glitter flecks in it. But upon application it has minimal to no fall out. I usually like to apply this shadow on my tear duct area to help brighten the inner corner or on the center of the lid to give it a glow. The colour payoff is superb, I bet you can see my lid shining from the outer space. Haha.

#7 Be Trendy is a true rose gold glitter mousse shadow. It looks like it has a hint of a mocha colour in it but actually it swatches a true rose gold. It has fine glitter particles in it that it tends to have fall out when applied on the lids. So usually when I intend to use it I will start with my eye makeup first then continue with the rest of the face. By doing this I can avoid the messy glitter fall out. The colour payoff is superb too you just need tiny bit on each application.

Overall I am obsessed with them both and planning to get more shades at Watsons since Hermo only carries these two shades on their website. As an eye shadow, they both performs well on the lid. Both eye shadows last all day and did not crease on my oily lid even when I wear them alone without an eye primer/base. They are also a great eye shadow topper where you can have a dark or deep eye shadow underneath and top it with this jewel pot. I just use my fingers to apply them on the eye and they look great. Just have to remember to screw the lid tight because just as any other cream products in a jar, they tend to dry up if left open for long. Their price is quite on the pricey side but I managed to buy them during a sale on the Hermo website. It was going from RM 45.90 to RM 36 if I am not mistaken. What a deal right?

I hope you like my review this time. What is your newly obsessed cream shadows? Do leave a comment down below. Till next time.

Review | Cosrx BHA Blackhead Power Liquid

Exfoliating not only removes traces of makeup and dead skin cells but it also fights the signs of aging, achieve a radiant looking skin, eliminate dry rough skin, even out skin tone and even more. Apart from using scrub cleanser and cleansing brushes, AHA and BHA exfoliants are also used due to their gentler and non-abrasive way of exfoliation. If you are new to the AHA BHA exfoliation then you should check out Paula’s Choice detail explanation on AHA and BHA exfoliants and the difference between them, and how and when to use them here.

On today’s post I am going to review the Cosrx BHA Blackhead Power Liquid from Korea.

RM 74.90 GST Inclusive

WHERE TO BUY

ORIGIN

PACKAGING

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Natural BHA component (Betaine Salicylate 4%) removes dead skin cells and blackheads accumulated in pores. Forms moisturizing layer.

“Trouble and blackheads don’t look for any particular skin types.”

BHA Blackhead Power Liquid gets rid of dead skin cell and blackhead within the pores and prevents oxidized sebum from turning into blackheads. BHA Blackhead Power Liquid has mixed a natural BHA ingredient, Betaine Salicylate, at 4%, and you can witness your skin get smoother and glossy as time goes by, as well as it light texture.

INGREDIENTS

Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Water, Butylene Glycol, Betaine Salicylate, Niacinamide, 1, 2-Hexanediol, Arginine, Panthenol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Xanthan Gum, Ethyl Hexanediol

HOW TO USE

Dispense the power liquid onto a cotton pad and swipe a thin layer of the liquid over the skin, concentrating on congested areas (such as the T-zone and chin) and over blackheads and blemishes. Pat in gently for absorption. 

REVIEW

The liquid itself is a clear with a thick consistency but still light enough that it is runny once pumped onto the skin. It feels just a bit thick but not sticky on my combination oily type skin. I find that I need to use tapping motion for it to fully absorb into the skin. The correct way to use exfoliant is after cleansing and before toner because you really want it to absorb first deep into the skin before applying any other skincare on top. Then I will usually wait for about 10-15 minutes before applying my next skincare routine that is toner, serum, face mask and the moisturiser. It is quite hydrating when applied onto the skin.

Just like scrubs and cleansing brush, you will only need to use AHA or BHA exfoliants only 2 or 3 times a week depending on your skin type and condition. I usually apply this on my night skincare routine and when I am using this product I make sure that I do not use other exfoliating products like my Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop that contains vitamin c because you do not want to over exfoliate or else you will irritate you skin. Products that contain exfoliants are best used during the night, but if you were to use it during the day just make sure to slap on some sunblock to help protect the skin from the damaging sunlight.

I do not need much of this product to cover my entire face or my T-zone, I just used less than a pump on every usage. Look at how much I got left after about 6 months of usage. I still have a lot!

All I can say after using this product for about 6 months now that it is just an okay product. I see no remarkable difference on my skin. Maybe just a slight decrease on my blackheads but it did not totally get rid of them. I like that it brightens the skin the next morning when I woke up. I also like that in the morning after I apply it the night before, I can see that the blackheads kinda popping out abit ( I know.. weird right?) then I quickly put on a nose strip to get them out. And because of its thick consistency, I think it is good for those who have a normal or dry skin type because of its hydrating effect. It is mild enough for the sensitive skin too as I do not experience any breakouts or irritation while using it.

Should I repurchace? Hmm probably not for a long time. Still got a lot of it left.

Xoxo
