Review: Pourvous Blossom Tea Body Lotion

Good evening! :)
I've just finished my OSCE and i need to redo one station (guess which one) but it doesn't matter lol.
Today i'm going to review a body lotion from pourvous (i think you haven't hear about this brand, same with me), i'm interested in this body lotion because they say it doesn't contain parabens and whatnots.



At the back it says it doesn't contain paraben, lanolin, PABA, color, and methanol fragrance. And they don't test on animals.

But do you see the second ingredient? Paraffin? I thought it's not suppose to be there? Do you think paraffin is suppose to be the main ingredient for body lotion?


So this is how i feel when i put it on. At first it smells like tea, but it turns out into weird smell but still bearable. It dries out quickly and not greasy and i feel some kind of cooling sensation when i put it on, like i just put on a mint lotion. My skin feels smooth after that, and really no sticky feeling. But the smell is just funny :)))

Review: Vanity Trove Indonesia Lancome Exclusive Edition Box

Good evening :)
I subscribed (again) to Vanity Trove Indonesia because they suddenly released this special edition box containing lancome products. Price: IDR 225.000. Hint: i love it so much <3

So i received this box several days ago (i ordered it and they sent it right away), and the box looks like this:


Contents:

List of products (and reviews):
  1. La Vie Est Belle EDP (4 ml)
    I love this so much <3 the smell is wonderful; sweet and fresh, awakening!
  2. La Vie Est Belle Shower Gel (50 ml)
    it smells like the perfume (of course), but it gives me that slippery feeling ._.
  3. La Vie Est Belle Body Lotion (50 ml)
    yeah it smells like the perfume. The lotion is a bit runny and slippery. But overall i love these three products.
  4. Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate (7 ml)
    I don't know how it really works but it makes my face a better canvas for my make up
  5. UV Expert GN-Shield BB Base SPF 50 PA+++ (5 ml)
    This is quite nice, it's not as grey as other bb creams. And high SPF <3 But it has dewy finish so i mattify it with powder. My face starts to get oily after 3 hours, especially on my nose area:


  6. Teint Miracle Foundation (5 ml)
    it's really sheer and the shade is perfect to brighten up my face (shade O-03). but it's all washed out after 3 hours (without anything on top):

    see?
  7. Genifique Yeux Light-Pearl Eye-Illuminating Youth Activator (5 ml)
    This is my best eye care so far <3 when i use it at night, i can see immediate result in the morning (reduced eyebags) but the price is just something i need to consider </3
  8. Visionnaire Correcting Polishing Cream (5 ml)
    haven't tried this yet hehe
  9. Hypnose Star Waterproof Mascara (2 ml)
    I only apply one thin coat, hoping that it will look natural. I don't curl my lashes. My lashes look visibly longer, but not thicker. My lashes look the same after 3 hours under then sun. No clumping. I think it's nice for daily wear.

Conclusion: the box is worth it <3 It gives me some kind of preview of what products to buy, but if you look at the retail price the products are considered 'normal' :) At least they're not disappointing :)

Review: BRTC Perfect Pore Clean Set

Hi sorry i haven't post anything lately, i've just finished my block exam and i'm now preparing for my OSCE next Monday so yeah, nervous :)

Today i wanna share you my opinion about one of my tons of attempts to get rid of blackheads, it's a 3 step kit called 'BRTC Perfect Pore Clean':


The set constains deep cleanser (50 ml), purifying mask (15 ml), and ultra serum (10 ml).


Instructions:


I don't have a steamer in my room so i use a magic jar :))) and i use warm cotton pads to heat my nose a little bit more. this is how i use the products:

deep cleanser --> purifying mask --> ultra serum
The cleanser softens up my nose so it's easier to squeeze the blackheads out of my nose. This is my first time squeezing out blackheads and i think 'ew! so this is how it feels like' but the result is worth it. The purifying mask works so-so for me. It just dries out the pores and make them feel smoother. The ultra serum, too, makes the pores smoother so there's no bumpy feeling when i run my fingers over my nose.
The result is the best on the first day. But for the second day to the whole week, my nose peels out hideously :( I can feel the burns, like after i sunbath for the whole day and i forget to wear sunscreen :(
i definitely need something better than this set but it's a waste to throw it away so i think i'll finish this up first then go look for other products :)

Conclusion:
Pro:
-effetive!
cons:
-it peels my skin off
-hurts T.T
