Review : Jurlique Rose Moisture Plus Moisturising Cream Mask

Product Description
This rich, deeply hydrating treatment mask helps improve skin's moisture levels for dehydrated and dry skin.

KEY BENEFITS

• Helps protect skin from environmental damage
• Helps soften, soothe and rebalance dryness
• Can be used for 10min quick treatment or overnight

Took the chance to get some Jurlique products while I was in Australia last year, and that came in the form of the Beautiful Rituals Face Care set, comprising of Rosewater Balancing Mist, Rose Moisture Plus Moisturising Cream Mask and Skin Balancing Face Oil. Gift sets are great ways to test out new products which would have been more expensive, on its own. 

Review : Jurlique Eye Makeup Remover

Product Description
A moisture-based cream that safely, gently and effectively removes eye makeup and impurities without irritation. Skin is left feeling soothed and refreshed with no oily residue. Ophthalmologist-tested.

The Benefits:

• Gentle emulsion to effectively remove eye makeup and impurities around the eye area.
• Moisturizes and softens delicate skin around the eye.

Key Ingredients:

• Jojoba Oil provides protection and hydration while gently cleansing the eye of makeup.
• Sunflower Seed Oil helps smooth and moisturize delicate skin around the eye.
• Echinacea, Dandelion and Calendula help to protect and soothe this fragile skin.

I picked this up from Feelunique, only to realize, to my dismay that the expiry date is pretty close, which probably explained why its on promotion. I detest the fact that the online shop have not been forthcoming in stating the near-expiry dates on their sites, unlike Strawberrynet or Iherb.

Made in Australia, this handy tube at 40ml comes with a twist and turn cap and a pliable body tube that makes squeezing a breeze, though its probably not the prettiest sight.

The white creamy texture meant, I need to use my fingers to spread the contents on the cotton pads before I used it over my eyes, to reduce the chances of excess cream getting into my eyes.
While it has a light floral scent and the name implies that its gentle for the delicate eye, I felt that it has a minty and cooling touch and it stings the eyes with a warm but mild sensation.

Personally I do not like using cream-based products near the eyes as it has the tendency to get into my eyes and irritates it. This eye makeup remover was slightly better than my regular eye make-up remover where it did remove slightly more eyeliner and mascacra remnants, but a Q-tip still works the best. However I dislike the irritating warm and minty sensation on the eye area. My eyes did not turn red though.

It also leave a light milky film on the eyes area which meant that I needed to do a final water rinse before it feels completely clean.

It scored a miserable 2.2 from 10 users on Makeupalley.

A friend had helped to get Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist for me at US$9 for a 30ml bottle. However, I was quite dismayed to find that it contains alcohol as the 2nd ingredient.

The 30ml bottle (there is a 100ml version too) comes in a small and handy size but its made of glass which made bringing it around abit inconvenient. I quite like how the spray nozzle is, because unlike most other facial sprays I came across, which is either a too fine mist or too loud burst of mist, this Jurlique fits my needs perfectly, falling inbetween the fine and burst kind. Not too much and not too little, just how I like it to be.

Its my first product from Jurlique because their products are pretty much out of my limited budget. So I really look forward to using my first Jurlique product and fortunately, it did not disappoint me.

I used this as a toner, or as a refreshing mist after my regular toner. I love the rose scent. It just perks me up and its very refreshing and soothing. Especially useful when I have a bad day at work and I can just indulge in the scent to keep me at peace.
To be honest, it actually reminded me of the Rose Bandung drink but I like this hydrating mist better, of course.

It kept my skin hydrated and I did not have any flaky issues on my skin during the 2 weeks of usage. Even when I have some blemishes on my chin, the flakiness, usually associated with using my blemish gel was so mild that I was surprised. My zits healed fast too, though I am not sure if this hydrating mist did help to speed up the healing process.

However, its just too expensive for me to do a re-purchase if there is no promotion.
And probably because of the alcohol content, I felt that it evaporates from the skin pretty fast too, though not nearly as fast as the Caudalie Beauty Elixir.

I used up the bottle in 3 weeks. The spritz from the nozzle was getting lesser and lesser near the end of the contents in the bottle, probably due to the short nozzle.

It scored an impressive 9 from 4 users on Total Beauty and 4.1 from 10 users in Makeupalley
