I'll be taking a short break from testing samples... I don't know whether it's the magic flora cream or the black sugar mask that irritates my skin...or perhaps both? My cheeks became itchy and dry. It's the worst that I've ever encountered... so I went to do a facial... The lady said that my cheeks are sensitive and told me to stop trying samples as some of them may be too harsh for my cheeks.
After the the facial, she gave me a small container of healing gel (I forgot the name) and a sample of Rojukiss Spot Light BB cream (has healing properties at least that what the facial lady said...). By now my cheeks are healing properly... it's been 3 days since I went for facial.
So far the Rojukiss Spot Light BB cream didn't cause any breakouts but my t-zone especially the nose becomes shiny around noon. I need the BB cream to cover up the redness and it does that pretty well. The cream is a little too thick but a little of it goes a long way... don't put on too much of it else the look will be slightly pinkish. Does not irritate my cheeks so I reckon it is suited for sensitive skin.
I believe both the healing gel and the bb cream does help to heal my cheeks... So... that's it for now...

Skinfood Black Sugar Mask Wash off
Apply after cleansing on wet face. I believe it's for exfoliating the skin since there are those micro beads in it. my skin became smooth...obviously... my cheeks are a bit tender... other than that i have nothing to say... oh yeah! don't rub to hard. The scent is alright. I think this isn't suited for very sensitive skin or pple with dry skin.
Innisfree magic floral cream with camelia & green complex
I think my skin is weird... I tried this and it starts to itch on some areas (slightly similar to the effect of innisfree's green tea seed serum). Maybe i should steer clear of products with green complex or green tea extracts in them... But this cream does help to improve my skin texture. It became really soft and smooth to touch. Gonna try it again once I gain enough courage...

Reviews on the samples given
The Tony Moly's Ice Queen Multiplay cream SPF 30 PA++ has a very sweet smell. Some others may love it but i just don't like the smell. However, it's very easy to apply onto the skin and it is not greasy or sticky. It doesn't cause any breakouts on my skin which is weird... cause I've tried sunblocks and they always produce acnes or pimples...
Holika Holika's UV magic shield perfect sun spf 50+ PA+++ is very good for me!!! I like everything about this. Gonna get it! I was given this sample by Zhen and the seemingly small packet can actually contain a lot... It doesn't cause any breakouts. The smell is ok. It is slightly sticky
Innisfree White tone up essence... Love the scent. The 1st two application of this essence cause a few bumps (not pimples or acne) to pop up on my forehead so I stopped using it... But recently, I gave it a try again and I don't see any appearance of bumps anymore. Maybe it's because i applied lesser? Perhaps this is more for those with mild oily skin to mild dry skin?
Innisfree Jeju volcanic pore clay mask
This I like!!! I had a pimple coming out and after reading a review done by Zhen, I thought why not try it out with the sample given... After washing off the mask, i noticed that the pimple is not as red as before. By the next morning, it's all gone. Aside from that, my pores seems smaller. However, my forehead was slightly itchy but that's for a short while only and the mask is difficult to wash off.

Review on cleanser samples
Holika Holika's Speedy 1-step Milk-to-foam is meant for daily wash and at the same time remove make-up in just 1 step. Just a little of it can create lots of foam. That 1 sample packet is enough to last me for about 6 washes or so... It isn't harsh on my skin at all. I thought my cheeks will feel dry or tight after washing... But it didn't!!! I've not tried washing off make-up with it... Don't really dabble much on make-up (only on bb creams)... But I noticed that if I use more it to wash, it can cause my mouth area to feel a little tight. Not sure whether I'm getting it... I'm a little tempted! wha! hahaha!!!
Skin Food's Aloe Vera Cream Cleanser is meant to just wash the face... won't remove any make-up. It is creamy (obviously). No foaming. After washing, can feel that the face is slightly filmy. I don't think many people like the filmy feeling as some will feel that the face isn't properly cleansed. But at least there's no tightening feeling for me. It doesn't irritate my skin. No breakouts. But my nose is a little shiny after a few hours. I believe this will suit people with dry skin types best since it's not drying on the skin.
(Description: A fresh clean cleanser with Aloe Extracts to soothe and hydrate the skin. Keeps the skin soft, calm, and deeply cleansed.)
Gonna try Holika Holika egg cleanser soon!! Stay tune for more reviews! Au revoir!

Holika Holka's Plumping Heart Lifting Cream
Got this cream from iheartkoreanbeauty for S$28.90.
The scent is light and refreshing. Although it's a cream, it feels like a gel or something similar to pudding texture. It isn't greasy at all. Suits oily skin type too! dunno about dry skin type. It has a nice bottle and a spatula to go with it. Didn't see the spatula at first so I just dipped my finger into the jar... :( Anyway the cream is amazing! It just forms back on it's own so there isn't a dent made by my finger... hehe...
I don't have any wrinkles yet so I don't know how effective is the collagen cream but i figured that prevention is better than cure so it is best to invest in something like this cream. The body start to age rapidly at 20s, so it's best to invest in skincare products like sun block/cream too.

Su Hyang Snow Boosting Toner
This is for all skin type. I love this toner... It's my favourite from those that I've used. The smell is light and nice. It gives the feel of hydration on my skin. It doesn't irritate my skin like some other toner that I've used. No tightening feeling. Makes my skin feel refreshed. It is expensive... about $40 plus from face shop... which is why I'm using it sparingly... I only use it now and then when i feel that my skin is irritated or dry... It's my backup skincare product... Rely a lot on it... definitely worth the price.
