Laneige Water Sleeping Pack

Hi gals! :)

Today, I'll be reviewing Laneige Water Sleeping Pack.
Do you know that Laneige is a French word which means snow.

With a lot of blogs claiming that Laneige products are truly the best, I was very encouraged to try one of their products. I first heard Laneige from Bubzbeauty and then a lot of bloggers afterwards. My friend bought me their 80ml blue jar which cost 1,250 pesos in Trinoma. Pricey? yeah. let's see if its worth it.

I have an oily skin and use Ponds Anti-bacterial cleanser twice a day. But I feel that sometimes it makes my skin dry, so I decide that mask may be beneficial. I also read that applying mask once a week is good, so hooray for that! :)

By the way, I checked their site, and its their second top seller after Original Essence Top white renew.

Laneige Water Sleeping pack is an overnight mask pack which has a gel-type consistency claiming to give your skin intensive hydration, vitality and brightening effect. Since I have an oily skin, I like using gel type products. And according also to the label, its for all skin type so, let's try.
It has a lot of ingredients in it so I decided to go to www.cosdna.com and check its safety. It has a lot of green rating on it, so I decided for a go. The only acne causing ingredient is Dimethicone and Butylene Glycol.

Since it is a mask, the instruction is to apply it once or twice a week or more than the recommended amount when your skin is particularly dry.

I like the packaging because its blue. :D Aside from that, it comes with a spatula which is hygienic. 80ml is also a lot so I think it will last for a year. Kudos to that. It feels like your 1,250 is divided to 12.

After I cleanse my face, I open it and I super love its aroma scent. They actually claim that this scent will relax you and can promote sleep. I put a pea size amount into my face and neck and massage it. Its a little bit sticky at first so I pat it and let it dry for some time.

After 2 moths of using the product, I can say that my skin is definitely smoother and soft. I swear. But I guess not as smooth as Song Hye Kyo's face. Hehe. Everytime I use it and wake up the next day, I observed that my skin brightens. :p And then I cleanse it afterwards.

Honestly, my skin is a bit rough before because of pimples and scars but when I tried this, my skin feels better. However, it didn't stop the unwanted surprise of acne but it sure did minimize them.

If everything goes well, I will repurchase this again. For now, I will give this product <3<3<3</5 (3.5)

Peace and Love everyone!

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Review

January 15,2014

For those people who have oily and prone to breakouts type of skin, lemme share to you my interesting discovery of Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel. :)

I like to search for skincare products for oily skin until I stumble on this blue jar of 50g. According to its label, it has purified Hyaluronic acid and Olive extract. I read that Hyaluronic acid is used in combating skin aging, so kudos to that! Olive extract on the other hand is an antioxidant, so yeah, hooray!

But aside from its claims, I also check www.cosdna.com if the ingredients in a product are safe to use. The rest of the ingredients are fine except for the Dimethicone and preservative. Dimethicone has a low acne issue based on the analysis. But I still decided to buy since a lot of bloggers are really rooting for this. ^.^

I bought it in Watsons for 830 pesos. And I don't regret buying it since it is so soothing for my oily skin. It is not that thick and is easily absorbed compared to Laneige Water Sleeping Pack. It is soooo light and not sticky! Once you put a pea size amount on your skin, it will dry for about 2 minutes. I used it every morning and night after cleansing my face. Since Philippines has humid weather, I think you don't want to put on heavy creams on your face except if you have very dry skin.

For a week, I've been using this product, and I can say that my skin is still adapting to it. I did got a little unwanted surprise on my face but not that big of a deal compared to some moisturizers I've tried.

For those who are looking for an SPF, it doesn't have any. And based on my observation, since it is water-based and has a gel consistency, it may be consumed easily. :( I think 50g jar will last for 2 months if you're using it constantly.You can also use a spatula in case you feel its very unhygienic.(be resourceful!) I use my Laneige's spatula. ;) I like the fragrance but some might be sensitive to it. In addition, it is oil-free, non-comedogenic allergy-tested and no mineral oil but it is not dimethicone and paraben-free.

Overall, I'll give it <3 <3 <3 <3 out of 5 ^.^ And I'm ready to repurchase again as soon as the jar empties. I think it's worth a try for oily skin gals out there! The packaging is enough for me, however I would like them to include a spatula if possible.

Remember that we need to moisturize as well.


I hope this review helps a bit. Love to hear your thoughts to this product as well. :)
Thanks for reading!
