Skin Genie Anti Eyeging Review

There's quite of a hype about this eye care product in beautymnl.com and I got really intrigued. Good thing that they were in Trendsetter's Bazaar last February and I got this for a buy 1-take-1 deal. It comes in a 10 ml roller bottle, like the ones used for oil perfume or cologne. I think this type of packaging is nice because it helps massage the under eye.

I bought this from Skin Genie during the Trendsetter Bazaar last February.
They now have a new packaging when I checked beautymnl.com.

What I like:
  • What's amazing is that this really soothes your eyes. If you have puffy, tired eyes, it will help your eyes calmed and moisturized. I now understand the hype.
  • It's cool when applied. If you put this in the refrigerator, it will be more soothing. 
  • In fairness, the product does not spill from the roller bottle. Of course, when you roll under your eyes, it dispenses quite more than enough.
  • It's kind of watery but not oily. It's quite sticky like a serum or essence.

What I do not like:

This is not good under makeup, especially if you have rolled a lot. It is best only to apply during bed time or if you do not have any plans on going out of your house.


Will I repurchase?

Maybe. I'm still open on having an all in one product that moisturizes, soothes and can be used under makeup.

I don't want to say that I like this better than the Mizon Snail Repair Eye Cream because I use them respectively on respective routines. I use Mizon for day time and Skin Genie for night time or when I am just at home. They do both work and I get no milia from using them.

Mizon Snail Repair Eye Cream Review

I've never used any eye creams or eye care products when I was younger. I really had an oily face before, so I don't use any moisturizer or any eye creams. I think I oiled too much to make my eye area quite moisturized. Well, I am not that young anymore and the grease production on my face has already calmed down. I need something to moisturize, calm and soothe my eye area, without getting unwanted side effects, like milia. I stare a lot at the computer for long hours almost every day and it tires my eyes badly. I can see some fine lines already. I'm also wearing contact lenses and it really tires my eye muscles after wearing them for more than 8 hours. I used aloe gel before but I feel that it's not that adequate for my eye issues. I think as you age, you may need a little bit of a help. So, it is already high time for me to get eye creams.

I got to know about Mizon Snail Repair Eye Cream when I searched online for affordable eye creams. Mizon is often listed within the top 10 of many lists and there are a lot of reviews about it. Some like it, some don't. I also read Fiddy Snail's review and listened to Gothamista's vlog about it and that helped me decide buying this one.

I got Mizon during a free shipping sale from beautymnl in November last year. There are two variants for this eye cream: a tub and a tube. I got the tube one because it's hygienic, even though it's only 15 ml. I haven't finished it yet since I only put this usually at daytime, seldom at night. Though, I think I should use this up already. It has been a year already. (#^O^#)

As of writing, it is still sold the same price as the time I bought it last year. :O

What I like:
  • It contains 80% snail mucin. I'm quite a fan of snail mucin recently.
  • It has no smell. 
  • It is not greasy. It is very, very light and a little goes a long way. 
  • It sinks in very quickly, so it is nice to put under makeup.
  • It's good as a daytime eye cream. It's moisturizing enough to help you apply concealer smoothly.

What I don't like:

Nothing I can think of really. (#^O^#)


Will I repurchase?

I think, I would. I'm still open to other eye creams but this can be a repurchase without a doubt!

Quest for Cravings: Hansel Premium #ANewWorldOfWonders Japanese Creations

Two years ago, I posted about satisfying my green tea cravings with Hansel Premium Matcha Green Tea. Luckily, a few days ago, I saw a post from Hansel Premium bringing back their Matcha Green Tea crackers together with two other variants, White Cheese and Black Sesame.

Apparently, the Hansel Premium Matcha Green Tea is reintroduced as part of their new Japanese Creations series. We are to expect a wondrous taste of modern and old combined flavors. These three would be luscious, mouth-watering, and definitely heaven in each bite. Truly #ANewWorldOfWonders!

I checked Hansel Premium's Facebook page and I didn't see where it is available. I may have missed it though. So, I assume that it will be available in the same stores as where Hansel Premium sold their Cheese and Matcha Green Tea.

I'm very excited to try the Matcha Green Tea again and very curious how the White Cheese and Black Sesame would taste.

Are you exited too? XD
