Christmas Beauty Box Review
The Christmas Beauty Box features three beauty products, a candy cane, some information pamphlets, and even a handwritten Christmas card for a festive touch!
The Skin Firm Pure & Simple Gel Cleanser
I usually prefer using natural or organic skincare products and I was glad to know that The Skin Firm emphasises on natural ingredients that comes with affordability. The Pure & Simple Gel Cleanser is a 99% natural oil-foam cleanser that dissolves sebum and oil and transforms into a light foam as I lather it onto my face. I have sensitive skin type and may sometimes react negatively to oil based products, but this was very effective in removing the impurities from my skin without being too oily. I even tried removing my thick foundation make up together with my Foreo cleanser and my face felt so clean after.
The cleanser is also infused with traditional mechanical botanicals that are effective in treating acne and inflammation. While it doesn’t work wonders in eradicating my acne completely within a short period of trial, it helped in controlling the sebum on my skin without stripping away the natural oil.
Overall, it is effective and I usually prefer to use it in the evening after a whole day out.
Mirage Miracle Hyaluronic Acid Serum
If you’re a beauty junkie, you might heard this term “Hyaluronic Acid” being thrown around. About half of it is found in your skin to retain moisture. By applying Hyaluronic acid serum to your face, you’re essentially supplementing your skin with extra hydration that it requires. Did you know that 1g of hyaluronic acid can hold up to 6 litres of water? This means that a small portion of the serum will be able to hydrate your skin inside out and restore its radiance and glow.
Thankfully, my skin is not facing dehydrated issues, so I wasn’t able to see a huge difference in terms of the effects. However, the serum glided and was absorbed into my skin very easily.
Sén Natural Lipstick
Since lip product is something that I would very likely ingest some accidentally throughout the day, I’m relieved that Sén Natural lipsticks are made with natural ingredients. The colour is a gorgeous shade of red that is perfect for date nights or work. My lips are usually quite chapped and dry, but the lipstick was able to glide onto my lips smoothly. It kept my lips moisturised throughout the day and I didn’t have to constantly dig out my lip balm.
If you’re looking for a more subtle look, you can use your fingers to dab a little to get a lighter and sweet tone, instead of directly applying the product to your lips. The colours are quite long-lasting throughout the day and I don’t have to constantly reapply. Bonus: I love the black and gold tones of the lipstick!
