SK-II Facial Treatment Essence

I have been wanting to try this for a long time!

It has the viscosity of water and smells very faintly like dilute isopropanol.

It was a little tricky to apply (because it was like water) and because I don't want to waste any by using a cotton pad.


After using it for a week, my skin feels a little softer, but honestly looks worse.
'Haggard' is the word that comes to mind.

To be fair, I have been using it by itself as I didn't want a moisturiser skewing the results.

Maybe after many years of use it may prove useful, but I won't be paying the exorbitant price on a maybe. 

There is better, cheaper stuff out there.

Price: 0/5 ($229.12 for 160mL, I got it much cheaper as a little 10mL sample)
Scent: 2/5 (almost none)
Effectiveness: 1/5

Essence - Metal Shock - Eyeshadow - 01 Solar Explosion

This is a glittery gold cream eye shadow.

You can apply it with the doe foot applicator to get a kind of foil look, or buff it out to get more of a dispersed glitter look.

I really love this, it isn't too over the top but adds some glitz to a look.

No mascara or eyeliner.

I wore it for New Year's Eve with a dark lip. <3
And it didn't crease up, and I am oil!

Price: 4.5/5 ($5.28 for 3.5mL)
Scent: 2/5 (a little plastic-like)
Effectiveness: 4/5
