107 CHAGA JELLY Low pH Cleanser

 
Hi Everyone!

Today I have the pleasure of sharing with you a new review, and this time it's the turn for an amazing, gentle cleanser. For a couple of years, I have now a fan of gentle cleansers because that is the base for maintaining a good skin barrier. It is important to clean the skin pretty well, but at the same time is important not to use harsh cleansers. This is a jelly cleanser with good antioxidant ingredients, which are designed to clean while maintaining good skin health.

I received this product as part of my collaboration with the brand 107 Beauty.  I am not receiving any monetary compensation for this review. All my opinions are based on my own experience with this product.

CHAGA JELLY is a low pH cleanser that helps leave skin fresh without excessively stripping or drying out the skin barrier while effectively melting away SPF, and excess oil. A gentle hydrating cleanser for daily use and is made for all skin types

Artemisia Princeps Leaf Water, Water, Glycerin, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, 1,2-Hexanediol, Decyl Glucoside, Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Chloride, Methyl Gluceth-20, Lactobacillus Ferment, Bifida Ferment Lysate, Lactococcus Ferment, Streptococcus Thermophilus Ferment, Cellulose Gum, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Citric Acid, Vinegar, Dipropylene Glycol, Malt Extract, Butylene Glycol, Propanediol, Inonotus Obliquus (Mushroom) Extract, Inulin, Sodium Phytate, Xylitol, Fructooligosaccharides, Artemisia Annua Extract, Azadirachta Indica Leaf Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Artemisia Princeps Leaf Extract, Houttuynia Cordata Extract, Rhamnose, Centella Asiatica Extract, Glyceryl Caprylate, Limonene, Linalool.

PROs and CONs

PROs

- Jelly Texture

- Gentle Cleansing

- Soft Foam

- Easy Application

- Moisturizing Effect

CONs

Conclusions

The first thing I noticed about this cleanser is that the packaging is minimalist, and the color is so calming. I really appreciate the detail in the simple packaging, and this contains 120 mL, which is still good for a cleanser. The aroma is herbal and subtle and fades quickly from the skin. This cleanser contains Artemisia Princeps Leaf Water, Centella Asiatica Extract, and Chaga Mushroom, three amazing ingredients that are anti-inflammatory and provide a soothing effect in the skin. 

I am in love with the texture of this cleanser because is jelly, and melts into the skin in seconds. This is one of those cleansers that provides me with that spa sensation because this cleanser is on another level. Of course cleanses pretty well, removing dirty, dead cells and providing good sebum control. This cleanser has a pH of 5, which is the reason because is so gentle with sensitive skin. I am going to repurchase this one because Ilove it.

From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout

“Fear and bravery are often one and the same. It either makes you a warrior or a coward. The only difference is the person it resides inside.”

― Jennifer L. Armentrout, From Blood and Ash

 Hi Everyone!

I am back with a review I wanted to publish long ago. Today, it's the turn of From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout. I read this book for the first time five years ago, in 2020, and I discovered it was amazing. And two years later, I read this book again in 2022. This was my first book by this author, and after that,t I guess I read seven or eight books by this author. This is a Fantasy book and was the first shot of this genre by  Jennifer L. Armentrout.

This review is more of my personal appreciation of this book. I just love to read and enjoy each book and a good story, so this is not something like a formal book review or a professional one. This is just me commenting about what I enjoyed in this book. 

A Maiden…

Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy’s life has never been her own. The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers.

A Duty…

The entire kingdom’s future rests on Poppy’s shoulders, something she’s not even quite sure she wants for herself. Because a Maiden has a heart. And a soul. And longing. And when Hawke, a golden-eyed guard honor-bound to ensure her Ascension, enters her life, destiny and duty become tangled with desire and need. He incites her anger, makes her question everything she believes in, and tempts her with the forbidden.

A Kingdom…

Forsaken by the gods and feared by mortals, a fallen kingdom is rising once more, determined to take back what they believe is theirs through violence and vengeance. And as the shadow of those cursed draws closer, the line between what is forbidden and what is right becomes blurred. Poppy is not only on the verge of losing her heart and being found unworthy by the gods, but also her life when every blood-soaked thread that holds her world together begins to unravel.

 Review "No Spoilers"

I started this book with zero expectation, and since the first chapter, I discovered that this book was a wonderful Fantasy universe, and first I discovered a journey of Poppy, which is going to discover a world of lies and uncover truths. The world of a Kingdom. I discovered action and amazing chemistry between the characters.

This book contains a complex universe, a lot of action, and, of course, magical creatures and very dark ones. And yes, the violence and the characters' development are wonderful. I am trying not to say too much. The fantasy is dense, I guess is not for everybody because the fantasy contains a lot of details. This book ended wonderfully, and I love it.

CONCLUSIONS

I was surprised by this product because the powder is affordable. It has a very good price, and usually, some products, when the price is affordable, the quality is not so good, but I discovered this powder provides a medium coverage, matte effect, good price, and the effect is long-lasting. And this has a good variety of shades, and this is a drugstore brand, but it works perfectly fine. This has a price of around $4, which is affordable. I am going to repurchase this one because it is affordable and is a good powder. This works pretty good on my sensitive combination skin.

Hi Everyone!

I guess August has been a crazy month. It has been so quick in a week; this month is over. Always amazes me how some months go so quickly and others are pretty slow. The time is always amazing. Today I am with a new review about a cleansing milk, and I must confess, since the first time I used this cleansing milk, I fell in love with the formula because this product is very gentle with my skin. 

I received this product as part of my collaboration with the brand CHUNGMIJUNG. I am not receiving any monetary compensation for this review. All my opinions are based on my own experience with this product.

DEEP CLEANSING & MAKEUP REMOVER: Thoroughly removes makeup, sunscreen, and daily impurities like dust and pollution without stripping your skin’s natural moisture.

PROs

- Lightweight

- Moisturizing

- Gentle Cleansing

CONs

- Pricey

Conclusions

My first impression of this cleansing product is that it has a milky, creamy texture and an easy application. It makes a soft and subtle foam. It removes makeup, but not superproof makeup, just waterproof makeup. But this is perfect for a morning cleanser. It is gentle and reduces the redness. This contains rice extract and aloe vera, which are amazing for maintaining moisture. I don´t notice a fragrance in this product, which is good for my sensitive combination skin. 

This cleanser provides a gentle cleansing with a moisturizing after-effect. My skin feels relieved, fresh, and moisturized after using this product. With 200 mL, which is a good quantity. I am very content with the moisturized result, and it is not a strong cleanser. Removes the impurities, reduces redness, and helps to maintain the skin barrier with a pH 5 (acidic pH) that is great for skin health. I would love to try the new products of this brand.

VT COSMETICS Reedle Shot 700 Review

 

Hi Everyone!

I am happy to be here publishing this review. This is my last and third review of this series of "Reedle Shot". This is the VT COSMETICS Reedle Shot 700. And probably my favorite of the three I have tried so far, and this has the same premise. The texture of this one is different to the previous ones.

I received this product as part of my collaboration with the brand and Picky. I am not receiving any monetary compensation for this review. All my opinions are based on my own experience with this product.

Weekly Treatment: Use VT Reedle Shot 700 weekly for noticeable results, compared to the daily use of Reedle Shot 100 or every-three-days use of Reedle Shot 300. It’s perfect for a weekly treatment or targeted care.

Refined Skin Texture: Improves skin texture, reduces acne scars, treats pustules, and minimizes pigmentation and nasolabial folds.

PROs and CONs

PROs

- Creamy

- Moisturizing

- Soft Exfoliation

- Easy Application

- Nice packaging

CONs

- Not suitable for sensitive skin.

- In many countries, you can only buy this product online.

Conclusions

When I tried this for the first time, I noticed two things. Once the list of ingredients is slightly different between this and the other versions, and second, the texture is better in this one. This product contains less quantity of the previous ones because this contains only 30mL, but I need to remember that this product is a weekly shot is recommended by the brand to be used just once per week, which is fine because this contains a lot of microneedling in comparison with the other two. 

I just noticed a little tingling sensation with this one. Of course, I avoided sensitive areas, but I didn´t notice any rash or redness, which happened with the VT COSMETICS Reedle Shot 300. I love how creamy this is, and after using it, my skin looks luminous, and the texture looks better. If you have sensitive skin or you are allergic to one ingredient, please avoid this one. I used a small quantity for my full face. I feel my skin moisturized and the texture feels creamy and gentle,
