So i just want to let you guys know that
this next product
broke me out so badly that i actually
had to reschedule
shooting this video that's how bad it
was
hi guys welcome back to my channel this
is rose and
it is now september the month of new
beginnings
new school years new friends new cities
at least that was what was supposed to
be going on
instead we got a global pandemic and
world leaders who would prefer to play
golf
then sort out any of the actual issues
that the world is facing
great however there are some silver
linings
bts hit a hundred million views on their
latest comeback which is just
outrageously impressive the world's
environment
is slowly recovering and you guys get to
see my first impressions of a new
skincare haul from the linings so yes
style very kindly
sent me all of these goodies which i'm
about to reveal um and
it significantly cheered me up so thank
you very much so i've been using these
for a couple of weeks not all at the
same time because i prefer
not to overload my skin with loads loads
of new products i like to spread it all
out evenly but as i say i've been using
them each for like a couple of weeks
and i have some thoughts so i'm gonna go
through each one of these and fill you
guys in on these
thoughts so the first product i'm going
to talk about is from i'm from
which is always a fun thing to say uh
this is their fig boosting essence
now i was so excited when i saw that
this had been
sent through i'm a huge fan of the
mugwort essence and this had been in my
basket for
the longest time but i had not pulled
the trigger yet
mostly because i'm poor because corona
but anyway i was very excited when i saw
that this had come in the post i think
that i was expecting this to be
quite similar to the mugwort essence but
it's actually very different
it's got this sort of milky opaque
consistency and it's a tad
more substantial than the mugwort which
is
very very very liquidy this is still
very much a liquid but it's slightly
creamier i'm not sure if that's the
right word but it's slightly thicker and
as a result i found this
super super super hydrating so obviously
the main ingredient here is fig
62.7 of this is fig extract
and fig is fantastic for repairing the
skin barrier but also deeply hydrating
so the rest of the ingredients list is
pretty minimal uh which goes in keeping
with the rest of the i'm from
range but most important for me is that
there's nothing that's even going to be
slightly irritant for me um they're very
very nice ingredients and so far i've
been really really loving it it works
very well with my other products in my
skincare routine
and i have found this to be incredibly
hydrating i think this is an essence
that i'm going to be incorporating more
as we move into the winter months
because this is a slightly heavier
essence
and i like using heavier essences during
the winter and on the flip side i like
using lighter essences in the summer
having said that if you've got really
really dry skin i can see this being
kind of a godsend for you
all year because it is incredibly
hydrating and you know what i've
actually been doing with it is i've been
doing diy
sheet masks with it i've actually demoed
that in a previous video so i will put a
link
somewhere here um but i'll put a little
clip in here so you can see what i'm
talking about but essentially what you
do is you
soak a cotton pad stick it on your face
leave it there for 20 minutes and
this has just been absolutely fantastic
for that and this is genuinely probably
one of the best essences that i've ever
used
for that diy sheet mask trick so yeah
i've been really loving this and i'm
excited to incorporate it more as we go
into winter after
arguably the shortest summer ever known
to man
so the next product in this little care
package is from
wishtrend um this is the vitamin 75
maximizing cream
and like the fig essence i was really
excited when i saw this because
it is such an innovative product and i
was really excited to see
if it actually worked so this is a
moisturizer that basically
boosts all of the effects of all of the
other products and ingredients
that you've used in your skincare
routine it's particularly good
at maximizing the potential of vitamin c
but it's also kind of worth mentioning
that it does have its own benefits in
and of itself it contains 75
sea buckthorn water which is fantastic
for repairing the skin but it's also got
lots of lovely like humectants and
antioxidants and stuff like that so it's
a lovely cream in and of itself it's
like you know when you drink a green
smoothie
full of like kale and spinach and
zucchini and you feel like the
singular authority on all things health
like an
overnight wellness goddess yeah this is
that but for your face so this is what
it looks like out of the box
really nice design but the question that
we're all asking ourselves is does it
actually work
and so far yes so i've been using this
in the morning after my vitamin c serum
and after about like a week and a half
or so
i noticed a real change in my skin i
haven't added or taken away anything
from my routine so i'm pretty sure it
was this
but my skin just looked way brighter way
healthier
um really really glowy um all of those
lovely things that you want from
a good vitamin c serum this boosted it
i then started using it in the evenings
as a sleeping pack and i
enjoyed using it in that capacity as
well because the texture is so
light um it's really really lovely at
night because i don't like my skin to
feel
like heavy or congested or have very
very thick creams
so this was a perfect perfect sleeping
pack to put on at night overall first
impressions are
great and i will continue to use it and
let you guys know
what i think so the next product in the
box is this from dear claire's
um it's their midday blue uv shield
you guys might recognize this as the
sister brother
some sort of family relation to this guy
which is the soft airy uv essence again
from
dear class so they're both sunscreens
this one is chemical sunscreen and this
one is a physical sunscreen
now physical sunscreen contains zinc
oxide and titanium dioxide which kind of
sit on the top layer of your skin and
deflect
literally deflect uv rays so that's how
physical sunscreens work
now i have to say i'm historically not
the biggest fan of physical sunscreens
but i wanted to give this one
a go just to show you guys what it was
like and i have to say i
didn't enjoy this thing for starters it
left a pretty significant white cast
which on me
is a pretty incredible feat you could
literally douse me in white paint and i
probably wouldn't look all that
different but this made my skin look
almost a full
shade lighter and so for those with
darker skin tones than me
which is literally everybody this will
make you look significantly lighter
than you actually are also it contains
fragrance and has quite a noticeable
scent
and i tend to prefer fragrance free
options because
sometimes i do have sensitivity to
fragrance and i just tend to er on the
side of caution
and prefer products that definitely
don't have fragrance in so then i know
that that's not something that i need to
worry about
it just wasn't really my favorite
sunscreen especially because this one
that chemical one
is one of my all-time favorite favorite
favorites um compared to that one
this one just kind of fell short so up
next we have another sunscreen and i was
really excited because this is one of my
all-time favorite favorite favorite
sunscreens i really really like it
it's from cosrx it's their snail essence
sun
so what's cool about this sunscreen is
it's actually made with 60
snail mucin and snail mucin is one of my
all-time
favorite favorite ingredients it's a
really great hydrator but also it's
fantastic
at getting rid of hyperpigmentation and
scarring which is something that i
suffer with a lot because i used to have
acne i used loads and loads of snail
products like essences and moisturizers
and
ice cream ice cream eye cream snail ice
cream wouldn't be very nice and so when
i saw this come out i
immediately went out and bought it and
what i love about this is that it it
does kind of feel like an essence like
it's incredibly lightweight like you
barely even know
that it's on your skin it also absorbs
really beautifully into the skin it's
not too
dewy but also it's not too mad it's the
perfect in between
and there's no white cast which is
really really important
so basically it's everything that you
want in the sunscreen but with that
extra bump of like the anti-inflammatory
anti-scarring
um hydration properties of snail mucin
so yeah really really really happy that
this came because i was going to
repurchase
and i didn't have to this is fantastic
so the next product that i received was
from revecton and this
is their aqua soothing uv protector i am
decidedly on the fence about this i
really really am
i like it but not a lot so pros great
for sensitive skin
niacinamide love it sentence asiatica
which i love
even more the texture is really nice and
creamy
and it's completely non-oily which is
fantastic however
it's a physical sunscreen and there is a
white cast
it's not too crazy it's pretty subtle
but it is there
it's living so that's why i'm kind of on
the fence about it because it is
actually a really good physical
sunscreen
it's just i don't particularly like
physical sunscreens patch 22
so we'll see i'll probably still wear
this because i'm still quarantining and
i'm inside and who cares if i look like
casper the friendly ghost's weird
anemic cousin um but overall hmm
i'm on the fence so i just want to let
you guys know that this next product
broke me out so badly that i actually
had to reschedule
shooting this video that's how bad it
was and what's worse i knew it would i
knew it would i still did it i did it
myself so this is a product there's
actually two products
that i got um but this one was really
really bad um it's from secret key
and it is their starting treatment rose
ampule so as you guys know i have super
super sensitive skin but also i'm very
allergic to a lot of things
because god hates me these things
include dust
pollen grass heat and also
in arguably one of the most ironic
cruelest twists of fate
anything to do with roses having them
near me is
fine they just can't touch my skin so
the fact that this
plus the accompanying eye cream has rose
water
way way way up the top of that
ingredients list is a
huge no for me but i tried them out
because i'm dumb
and of course really really angry
irritated skin
i only actually tried them here and here
because i didn't want to like
smush them all over my face um but the
rash like creeped
crept cropped creeped up my face
all the way around here and it was just
red and angry and inflamed and um
not cute i really don't know why i did
it it's like touching the flame
i knew it was gonna react with my skin
um it's my fault but anyway so i would
say to anybody with even
slightly sensitive skin do not go
anywhere near these like really
seriously do not bother it's
no very very fragrancy very very rose
watery lots of essential oils in it
and everything that sensitive skin
doesn't want
this is your serum now there was this
eye cream that came with it but again
i had this really awful rash and i was
not particularly
um excited to put that near my eye
so i didn't um and i would suggest that
if you have sensitive eyes then perhaps
they've give this a miss as well they're
not even open and i can already smell
the rose it's giving me like
i'm getting a little bit hot so i'm
gonna put these away now so that is my
skincare haul completed
again a big thank you to yes style for
sending out all of those products
definitely cheered me up just want to
reiterate none of this is sponsored uh
they just kindly gifted them to me so i
will keep you guys informed with how i
continue to incorporate those that i
did like into my routine and the ones i
didn't like
i will probably gift them to other
people
elsewhere so if you're watching this and
you get one of those as a gift
you know where it's from but anyway
thank you for watching good luck with
school
good luck with your new job good luck
with whatever newness
september brings you and i wish you all
of the love and luck
in the world and i will see you guys
back here next week
for a new video and until then bye
