Belif The True Cream Moisturizing Bomb


Hello lovelies,

it's like a back to back review for moisturizer, but this one is a legend, a moisturizer brand that has been an utmost favorite of mine since like years and years ago. I tried their moisturizer once and I'm sold. They have the best formula in terms of safety standards and efficacy.

You can simply read most of the details regarding ingredients on their website, simply google down belif cosmetics and read everything from their background to why we must try this products. I know they are not on the cheap side, but their brand is enlightening in terms of quality and the actual things they put inside our skincare that we use everyday.

NAPIERS MOISTURE FORMULA

NAPIERS ORIGINAL FORMULA

The one I'm having is kinda a limited edition 100 ml formula, and it have like a metal thingy inside which I hope is not a spatula made to be used with the product, since somehow I don't believe in skincare used with metal, like honey and stainless spoon perhaps, but I could be wrong in the metal spatula, however I keep it as a souvenir only and use another plastic made spatula.

The details given on the website is amazing isn't it?! And it doesn't stop there, if you happen to read the reviews on their website many even name it as a magic in a jar, or obsessed, will keep using it and so on, and it does, I do believe in them, after using it for many years, on and off, as well, I do find it better than many moisturizer on the market, even those with price twice or more than this one.

-*-




The cap of the product is still the same as many years before, like a hat back in the old days. The container is satisfying, especially it contain 100ml, somehow I smile and happy just looking at it, knowing that my skin will stay hydrated and plump for the next 3 months give and take.

-*-




This is the texture of the cream, it is white in color and like a perfect emulsion between watery liquid and cream. Kinda like a milky creamy consistency and the smells of the fresh herbs that's comforting and kind to the skin.

Here are the full ingredients:

Looking at the tub, the product does seems overflowing with the creams. Using the one that stuck on the lid itself took me a few days. My skin is dry and pretty much sensitive too. If I use a skincare that a bit harsh, or contain certain kind of chemicals that might be okay for most people, on me, it can be seen within minutes to hours.

Wrong serum? I develop tiny acne within 12 hours, any product that have a tag line as 'exfoliation'? My skin become red within minutes, skincare with too much fragrance or perhaps alcohol? Itchy and burn feeling within seconds. And mostly those are from using drug store or mass produced brands that already have standards and pass many bars like USFDA and so on.

I don't believe in purging nor having my skin 'suffer for a better future' nor 'cleansing' that cause breakouts and more stuffs like that. I don't like to squeeze my acne, pimples, blackheads and other things that doesn't normally shown on the skin. I like them to be treated with dignity and kindness, I don't believe in terms 'beauty is pain'.

So using this cream means as well, it means pampering, caring, nurturing and be kind to my skin in a way that my skin show healthy significance effects from moist, plump, to healthy glow and looking like I 'm well rested (when I'm clearly not), I have that glow from within and my skin looks and appear way younger than I'm actually am with no wrinkles nor lines.

-*-



So I believe in Napiers formula that:

Packed with anti-oxidants, Napiers Original Formula is the key formula that applies to all belif products with skin calming, anti-trouble, and anti-aging benefits to keep skin healthy and radiant.

-*-




Upon application, the skin will appear glistening moist, wait a few minutes and it will be absorb on to the skin and it will feel soft while moist at the same time. Leaving the skin grease-less but visible healthier. What I enjoy the most is the long lasting moist effect that still light and comfortable. The formula is rich, but the cream is not thick and doesn't have that oily feeling perhaps it even felt smooth. The skin will appear moist for a day. Even thou' I never leave it unmoisturized for the next 26 hours since I always take a shower twice a day, so 12-18 hours is top.

I pretty much use the moisturizer with any toner and serum I have at home, I always made sure my skin is clean before applying skincare, and I tried to sleep at least 20 minutes after applying skincare, just to make sure they have ample time to be absorbed and not by my pillows sheets.

Dehydrated skin will definitely enjoy and gain many benefits from using this cream, as well as many other skin condition. I put it on my must have item of all times.





Lululun Precious Cream



Hello lovelies,

this is a product I've been using for around 2 months and it's empty now, and I just remember I haven't made a blog review for it yet. So, I'm sorry for the limited amount of photos, since I completely forgot to take some more pictures before tossing it out. The container itself is cute and all the details is provided on the box. Since I made the purchase in DonDonDonki Singapore, there's plenty of details in English.

If you happen to purchase the product in Japan, don't worry, just google or check out their official website in USA: https://www.lululunusa.com/

Lululun itself is very famous for their mask. They have a lot of facial mask sold worldwide, very famous in Japan as well and you can easily find them at any drug store, beauty shops or even last minute souvenir shop at any airport in Japan, it is crazy how this product sells. It's like there's tons of beauty products in Japan and many of them selling facial masks too, how come this particular brand become really famous has got to do with numbers.

They got a high rating locally, hence it made it out by tourists and now worldwide too. Following that success, Lululun creating a cream that said to be used after the mask. So it seals the moisture and nutrition on top of the skin continuing their mask.

The box is red, but the container inside is clear with a lid that feels like it comes from wonderland, the details is fairytale-like. The sticker on the other hand was a bit poorly made, like my husband even says it is not waterproof, so the writings will bleed if you accidentally in touch with liquid.

The cream appear thick but it's like melting butter when touch. Smells good, as in it doesn't have strong fragrance, more like a subtle and soft aroma, floral and a bit like mild vanilla and slightly citrus too.

I'm using the product with or without Lululun Mask, so sometime I can just use it after any serum available at home, or after any face mask from different brand and function, and so on, and I think the cream is versatile enough just like most moisturizer.

Here is the details given on Lululun official website:

Thick and rich gel matrix composition to hold moisture in

Plant-based emollient oils have superior hydration capacity, and we developed a unique gel matrix to hold them.The result is long-lasting hydration.

The thick, creamy texture transfers the beauty ingredients from the mask to your skin and seals it there.

Fermented yeast cell wall extract targets the structure of mature skin This extract contains high amounts of poly-beta(1-3)-glucopyranose, a glycan found in the cell walls of saccharomyces cerevisiae, a type of yeast used to make bread.
Yeast refines pores for more translucent skin.

Ingredients:

Water, Squalane, Glycerin, Propanediol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Phytosteryl/isostearyl/cetyl/stearyl/behenyl dimer dilinoleate, Stearyl Alcohol, Behenyl Alcohol, Shea Butter, Polyglyceryl-10 pentastearate, Sodium stearoyl lactylate, Dipentaerythrityl Tri-Polyhydroxystearate, Dimethicone, Phenoxyethanol, Acrylates/ C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer, Methylparaben, Batyl alcohol, Potassium Hydroxide, Phytosteryl/ Octyldodecyl Lauroyl Glutamate, Sorbitol, Butylene Glycol, Disodium EDTA, Iron Oxides, Tocopherol, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Prunus Mume Fruit Extract, Sodium phosphate, Hydrolyzed Rice Extract, Yeast Extract, Dextran, Trifluoroacetyl Tripeptide-2, Oryza Sativa Bran Extract, Citric Acid

As written on the details, the product does provide me a long lasting moist effects. Like it is enough for a dry skin, it helps me to stay around 12 hours ++ hydration. The feeling is pretty much comfortable, didn't feel any oiliness nor greasiness. Suitable as a travel companion when my skin is even more dry than usual, it kept the skin feeling happy and I don't see signs of dryness even on winter and long haul flights.

The only tips I can give is to use a spatula, since the product is like a thick creamy gel, it is even like a pudding, it need to be scoop out. Clean nails will do the job as well, but for me a spatula is handy, just remember to use a clean one every single time.

Bottom-line, it's a great product worth trying and using, the cream itself is like a magic cream that claims to help with most of skin problems, like hydration, regeneration and rejuvenating but since it is a skincare, the result can be seen when used routinely and diligently.
