/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Just gonna drop a few reviews in the thread based on the last few months of use.

Skinfood Black Sugar Mask - Overall pretty meh, its obviously not an exfoliating product despite the sugar granules. For a mask it's supposed to be hydrating, but it leaves me feeling oily (and it got me having weird dry spots around my eyes?). Upside is that you get a lot of product for the price, buuut you could easily make a homemade sub with sugar/honey/coconut oil instead. One oddity is that it seemed to lighten my skin color a bit, which is the only upside because I have a very red face. Another reviewer indicated this was due to some parabens in the product? Would not repurchase/10

Innisfree Tea Cleansing Foam - Love this shit, it's so rich and moisturizing as soon as you put it on, especially as a cleanser. It doesn't feel like you've stripped your face away after use, and it's extremely gentle. I don't buy make-up removers but this is great at getting off foundation and stuff at the end of the day. The only downside is that it can leave a filmy like feel if you use it and don't moisturize in the next ~5 minutes. Would buy again/10

Mizon Snail Recovery Gel - I wanted to like the snail products but this doesn't do much for me. It absorbs pretty easily and is a good non-greasy base layer when putting your make up on but there are primers that do the same thing. Mizon also farms the snail secrete abusively (only found out after I bought and used the product), so if you're interested I'd recommend buying instead from Cosrx who does not. Recovery gels =/= moisturizers btw. Never again/10, but plan on looking into the Cosrx variant (specifically the mucin power essence).

Skinfood Vita-C Cream - AWESOME. Super light moisturizer, not at all greasy, doesn't break me out and has good coverage. I live in a desert and used this through winter where usually my skin cracks enough to bleed. Needless to say this shit kept me fine. Do refrigerate it! Buying again/10
