Glow With Mei


Hello guys~
For my first review on this blog, I picked up one of my Holy Grails: Nature Republic Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel. I use this product in every way possible, all I have left is to spread it on a toast and eat it *jk*

Description and claims:
Enriched with 92% aloe vera! Mild formula free from paraben, mineral oil and artificial colors. This soothing gel with 92% organic aloe vera certified by California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF) can be used to mildly moisturize various parts of the body such as the face, arms, legs and hair.


Volume:
300ml


Ingredients:

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract (92%), Alcohol, Glyceryl Polyacrylate, Dipropylene Glycol, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Polyglutamic Acid, Betaine, Sodium Hyaluronate, Carendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Mentha Viridis (Spearmint) Extract, Melissa Officinalis Extract, Carbomer, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Triethanolamine, Phenoxyethanol, Water, Parfum, Disodium EDTA.


How to use:
Apply an appropriate amount to dry, sensitive parts of the face and body often for the best results.


Packaging:






The scent:
This gel smells like fresh Aloe Vera leaf .

The performance:
It's a transparent gel that is quickly absorbed, without leaving oily or sticky residue. After using it, my skin feels smooth and soft, and since I keep it in the fridge, it cools and refreshes my skin (which is awesome in this still so hot autumn weather)

I use it on my whole body as a moisturizer, face and eye mask, sunburn treatment, after waxing gel and hair mask.

It can be used in different ways, for example:

As a face mask: apply a thick layer on your face and leave it for 15min and then wash it off, if you have enough time leave it until it's fully absorbed. It soothes the skin, reduce the redness and the inflamed acne.
As an eye mask: apply a think layer on your eyes and leave it for 15 min and then wash it off. It soothes tired eyes, reduce the redness and puffiness.
After shaving gel: right after shaving/waxing to soothe the skin and reduce the redness, and prevent the ingrown hair, and heals the inflamed ones, it also speeds up wounds healing.
Sunburn treatment: apply it on the skin to soothe and refresh the skin. Can also be used on superficial burns caused by the oven ...
Hair mask: after washing and drying your hair, use it as a mask to strengthen and moisturize your hair. It also prevents hair loss, refines the curls and destroys the excessive dead cells in the scalp.
Body moisturizer / lotion: use it on your whole body after the shower, or after a tiring day outside in the hot weather to cool down your skin and refresh it.
There are more different ways to use it, suit yourself! (I might post some homemade remedies for hair/skin using this aloe vera gel later on, so please look forward to it)


Summary
Pros:
- So affordable and not expensive at all
- 300 ml to last you for a lifetime
- Multiple usages for one product
- Quick absorption
- No sticky or greasy residue
- Washed off easily
- So many benefits
- 92% of organic Aloe Vera extract


Cons:
Nothing that I can think of.

- at Amazon* for $8.68

Hello Lovelies, welcome back to my blog :)

BB cushions have been the trend for a while now, but the problem is that they are either too expensive for the little amount of product you get (15g), or the color doesn't really fit (even though you buy the same bb cream's shade you usually use, it's either lighter or darker, rarely the same), that's why I decided to make my own BB cushion.

There are many cushion cases in the market, but this one caught my eye since the first time I saw it in MEMEBOX US website, and then it appeared on TesterKorea after being requested and I couldn't stop myself from including it in my last haul

I love the typographical and simple cover, and also love the colors (Mint Green, baby pink, black and white). I've bought the Mint one for now but I'll probably buy the three other colors too.









Don't forget to peel off the fuzzy protector from the mirror

The packaging is similar to the other cushion cases (the blue air puff, the push thingie etc..), even though it might be less sturdy than some expensive ones out there (obviously), but it is absolutely worth it.

And now, let's move to making this customized bb cushion!
For this, you can either use a new empty cushion case, or reuse old one after washing it with a brush cleanser.


I doubled the quantity later.




You can simply put BB or CC cream alone (but it's no fun), as you can mix some few products as desired (BB/foundation + sunscreen + moisturisers + essences or serums... etc). In my case I decided to mix:- Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream Perfect Fit N02 : 20 pumps
- Etude House Beauty Shot Face Blur: 5 pumps (I've been told that it might clog later, I'll let you know if it does)
- Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream Cotton Fit W13 (it's darker than my skin tone, but I had to add it since the beauty shot is way too light, and it's summer.. I don't wanna look like a ghost between all those tanned people)
- Missha Time Revolution First Treatment Essence: few drops
- COSRX Centella Blemish Ampoule: few drops


I cut one tip of a Q-tip, and used it to mix the products.



Keep in mind that it's made for only 15g of product, so make sure to only fill 1/3 of the case, otherwise you'll have leaked product all over th8e place.

Once you have the right amount of product, place your sponge and use either the Q-tip or your finger to press down all over the cushion to allow bb cream to soak into it, you can also turn it upside down and leave it sit for an entire day if you aren't in a hurry.

If you are afraid you won't be able to make the right amount, mix it in a bowl and pour half the mixture in the case, place the cushion sponge and pour the rest on top of it, and then tap on top of it with your Q-tip to speed up its absorption.




And voila, you have now your very own BB cushion! Easy innit?

Don't forget to wash your puff once a week.


Have you ever made your own bb cushion? What did you use to make it? Lemme know in a comment down bellow ^^
