[ Review ] Nature Republic Real Nature Royal Jelly Mask Sheet + Aloe Mask Sheet + Orange Mask

 

During my last Desaru trip, I brought along some sheet masks for use. These were Christmas gifts from a university friend whom we would meet up once/twice a year for catching up. I no longer buy sheet masks because of eco-friendly reasons. 

It has been a while since I used Nature Republic products so I am glad to revisit the brand again. 

Nature Republic Real Nature Royal Jelly Mask Sheet are royal jelly extracts which provide nourishment and improve skin texture.

How To Use : 

1) Cleanse face and apply toner to refine the skin texture

2) Carefully remove mask from packaging, unfold, and place the sheet mask on your face

3) Apply mask evenly across face, gently smooth the mask to ensure good contact with skin

4) Leave mask on face for 10 ~ 20 minutes

5) Remove mask and discard. Pat skin lightly to absorb the remaining essence into the skin.

Nature Republic Real Nature Royal Jelly Mask Sheet uses natural-derived cellulose sheets obtained from eucalyptus wood and cotton which adhere closely to skin and transfer essence to skin. It has a subtle honey scent and the sheet mask is soaked fully in essence. 

[ Review ] OSEA Ocean Eyes Age-Defying Eye Serum

 

Product Description

OSEA Eye Serum is a hydrating gel serum that addresses all signs of aging around eyes. Seaweed, hyaluronic acid and peptides visibly smooth the look of fine lines and crow’s feet. This lightweight formula reduces the appearance of dark circles and puffiness. Delivered with a cooling roller ball applicator that awakens the entire eye area. Clinically and dermatologist tested.

Pure Tincture reached out to me some time back and gifted VENN Age-Response Compound K Hyaluronic Booster, The Organic Pharmacy Collagen Mask and this OSEA Ocean Eyes Age-Defying Eye Serum, based on my skin concerns. 

They curate a beautiful range of clean and ethical skincare brands which you can check out on their website. If you are a first-timer, you would be pleased to know that they offer a special price specially for those new to Pure Tincture. 

I also like that they are a part of the Zero Waste Packaging Initiative by The Sustainability Project. The ground-up movement aims to re-channel used packaging from the public to businesses, targeting towards giving 66,000 pieces of packaging a new life by 2025. Customers are welcomed to drop off clean bubblewraps and boxes in their stores to give these packaging a new lease of life!

Enriched with the goodness of coffee, sesame oil, almond oil, frankincense oil and aloe vera this body scrub not just exfoliates the skin but also nourishes it.

[ Review ] Origins Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Micellar Cleanser

 

Product Description

Wash away everything you know about cleansing. Origins Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Micellar Cleanser is a miraculous no-rinse, soap and alcohol free formula that gently removes dirt and makeup. It’s fortified with Dr. Weil’s signature skin-soothing Mega-Mushroom blend plus Berry Ferment. Plus, this potent formula gently removes pollutants to help support skin’s resilience against environmental irritants. Skin feels totally refreshed, silky soft and completely, comfortably clean. Never irritated.

It has been 3 years since I last used an Origins product. 2 of my recent favourites are Origins Original Skin Retexturizing Mask With Rose Clay and Origins Smoothing Ginger Body Scrub. 

Origins Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Micellar Cleanser was a Christmas gift from a good friend last year. Always happy when friends noticed what I use. Bioderma Sensibio H20 Micelle Solution was a holy grail out of all micelle solutions but it has been 2 years since I last used one since I have been too engrossed in cleansing oils and cleansing balms so I am glad to receive another micelle solution.

I was put-off from my last oily experience from Dot & Key Melt Away Makeup Remover Balm so I wanted to use a micelle solution for my make-up removal needs for these recent months. It certainly feels like a homecoming reunion to my old-time favourite. 

Packaging, Scent and Texture

Origins Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Micellar Cleanser is a 200ml product housed in a beautiful green tinted bottle with a flick top cap. The contents are clear. 

It has a soothing floral scent and the texture is light and non-greasy. 

[ Review ] 100% Pure Vitamin C Boost

 

Product Description

100% Pure Vitamin C Boost is a water-activated powder treatment with stable vitamin C and hyaluronic acid designed to brighten, lighten dark spots and promote firmer, more supple skin.

This water-activated powder treatment offers a potent dose of stable Vitamin C, designed to dramatically increase luminosity while lessening the appearance of dark spots. Ph balanced formula promotes a brighter complexion, while supporting collagen and elastin production for firm, supple skin. Hyaluronic Acid deeply hydrates and replenishes thirsty skin for a rejuvenated glow.

100% Pure is one of my favourite brands and my last purchase was the 100% Pure Vitamin C Triple Boost set which consists of 100% Pure Vitamin C Serum, 100% Pure Vitamin C Mask and this 100% Pure Vitamin C Boost. 

Using Vitamin C can brighten and firm the skin, protect it from sun and environmental damage, diminish dark spots and even reduce the signs of aging.

Packaging, Scent and Texture

100% Pure Vitamin C Boost is a 10g sized powder housed in an amber-glass bottle with a screw-on cap. White in colour, the powder can be slightly nitty gritty so it is best to dissolve them with droplets of warm water before use. It has no scent.
