I am not really a fan of powdered eye shadow, specially when the finish is on the shimmery side. But the color that I received is really pretty so for sure I will use this eye shadow. It can add a quirkiness to my daily look.

All in all the value of this month's box is $50 - that is a little bit more than double the amount of the subscription.  I am glad that Mishi Box always add a cosmetic item in its lot of skin care. So far, this is the best and the most affordable Kbeauty subscription box so far.

This is the first time that I have ever encountered Salmon Oil based skin care product. I am familiar with snail and other special herbs but I seriously have never tried anything like this. I was a bit apprehensive at first – expecting the cream to be strange in terms of texture and scent. Well I was proved wrong. This moisturizer is seriously good. 


Let me start off with how cute the packaging is: the design is just like that of a can of salmon and inside is a beautiful golden jar containing the actual product. It also comes with a small plastic spatula.



This moisturizer has five special ingredients:
Alaska Salmon Oil – Has Vitamins A and B, Omega-3 and fatty acids. It also has Vitamin E. These properties have anti-oxidants that protect the skin from free radicals. It also keeps the skin healthy, resilient and moisturized.

L22 – It is a lipid complex of Macadamia seed oil, Jojoba, Squalene, Phytosterols, Phytosteryl and etc.

Caviar Extract – Essential to skin hyrdration.  It provides nutrients that moisturize the skin.

Salmon Egg Extract – It has Vitamin E. It has anti-oxidant properties. It also keeps the skin elastic and moisturized.

Seaweed Extracts – Makes the skin soft and moisturized. 



Moisturizer:
This moisturizer has a very rich and velvety texture. It has a very light pink color as well as a very faint floral scent that is not at all over powering. In fact, the scent is clean and it does not linger.

Once applied, the cream goes on smoothly to the skin. Its rich texture is very luxurious and it also easily absorbed by the skin. It does not leave the skin oily, greasy and sticky. 



I am happy with this moisturizer. It definitely is a luxury in a jar.

My morning skincare routine is pretty much no fuss - wash, moisturize and go. I recently received this awesome Morning Recipe pack from Skin Factory to try and test.


Here's my take:
The concept of this product is really good. It has three parts - a cloud wash, a dual pad and a moisturizer.


The Cloud Wash- this is the first step. The soap is creamy and opaque. It has a pleasant strawberry scent and lathers thick. 

 

The Dual Pad - this is the second step. This pad is soaked in essence and each side has a different texture - the stubbled side for exfoliation and a smooth side to smooth-en the skin and even out the essence. The
essence is clear and unscented. After scrubbing and patting, my skin felt more ready and 'clean'. It also made my skin look brighter and and more relaxed.


Sherbet Ice Cream - third step. This is the moisturizer. It is unscented and has a velvety texture. It is also easily absorbed by the skin. 

 
After finishing all three steps, my skin looks and feels smooth, moisturized and relaxed. I am very happy with this product. I will definitely purchase this pack in the future and make it part of my morning routine.

This is my first time using Skin Factory's Premium Night Solution Spa Pad & Night Solution Ampoule - and I have to say that I am impressed! 

First, pardon my ignorance, but I was expecting to see a mask , instead I saw this thin pink and white pad drenched with white thick opaque cream. I honestly checked online what to do with it and found out that I have to use it to clean and exfoliate my skin. 

 This is pretty new to me as I was expecting the cream to spread evenly on my skin, instead it turned into large paper-like clumps. I am not sure if the clumps came from the pad or it the cream is designed to work that way.  The cream also has a strong floral scent. It did not bother me much but this could be a turn off to some users.

After scrubbing I applied the ampoule. This essence is very thick and can hold its shape. Pretty interesting! The ampoule does not have any detectable scent.


Verdict: I am glad that Skin factory sent me two of these...next time, I will try it as my first step in skin cleansing - without removing first my make up. I love the cleverness of this product! It also made my skin feel more clean, refreshed and soft to the touch.
