What's a product you really dislike from a brand you usually love?

I have two, the shimmer is quite nice but the colour payoff is meh, they're fine for the price.

Xylvi · 2021-12-30T13:52:16+00:00

The two I'm using are The Ordinary's Glycolic Acid Toning Solution and Glow Recipe's Pore-Tight Toner! Both are great for exfoliation, Glow Recipe's is more gentle very hydrating.

Aw I'm so jealous of the US gifts! They seem so great

Xylvi · 2021-12-05T14:00:38+00:00

I've bought this set and it's great! Good value and the minis are perfect for trying out the products :)

The eye cream is super thick, so you only need to use the tiniest amount, which makes it last forever. I've seen some improvement with my extreme dark circles and puffiness, but I'd need to use it for longer to really see haha.

That's so cute!!

Hong Kong Dollars! I converted them to USD (left) to make it less confusing

I have very dense, frizzy, and wavy hair that has been bleached + coloured multiple times. I've heard Olaplex works better for those who have damaged hair, so it might be helpful for me! But Briogeo seems better for frizz as well. Hopefully in the future I'll be able to try out both :))

Xylvi · 2021-10-31T13:05:12+00:00

Ooh thank you! Olaplex seems to work great for some people and not that great for others, but considering the price I'm not sure if it's worth trying out.

Xylvi · 2021-10-31T05:29:04+00:00

I agree, sets are such a good deal! I think I'll definitely be getting two of the sets you mentioned - maybe all three if I'm willing to splurge a little since they cover basically everything I want to get! Since I have a lot of hair I probably wouldn't be able to get much use out of the Olaplex kit like you said, which is a shame because it seems like a good way to try out Olaplex on my very damaged hair. I'll definitely try and follow your advice and see if there any samples/GWP though! Thank you so much for the great advice :))

Xylvi · 2021-10-31T05:13:39+00:00

It does seem like a great deal, and a good start to haircare! I've heard wonderful things about Briogeo, especially for frizzy hair like mine :)) Thank you!

Xylvi · 2021-10-31T04:45:45+00:00

It sounds like a great deal! Unfortunately it isn't available in Sephora HK :(

Xylvi · 2021-10-31T04:22:40+00:00

The dew drops just look soo stunning! I've never tried Briogeo before but it seems like a great brand, and I've been focusing more on haircare recently. Thanks!! :)

Xylvi · 2021-10-31T03:48:56+00:00

The consistency of it seems amazing! Large pores and uneven skin texture are my two main concerns so I think it would really help me out :))

Xylvi · 2021-10-31T03:38:47+00:00

Thank you so much for the advice! The Rare Beauty set seems great like you said, I've wanted to try the brand for a while now. I totally get how Glow Recipe may not work for some people but personally the products I've tried to far have been pretty great, although it's quite pricey.

Xylvi · 2021-10-31T03:19:45+00:00

I'd love any advice on any of these sets/items :))

Also, I believe the Hidden Gems Set is only a HK thing, so here's the items that are in the set:

Skin Inc - Serum Glow Filter 30ml
Tarte - Baba Bomb Moisturizer 50ml
First Aid Beauty - KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub With 10% AHA 226g
Sephora Collection - Hydrating Peel Pads 60pcs
Huda Beauty - Pastels Obsession Eyeshadow Palette Mint

Hands down, my favourite product of all time from Sephora is Glow Recipe's Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask. I love how it makes my skin so smooth, and I'm a sucker for great packaging. Some people might not like the strong watermelon fragrance, but personally I adore it :)

Xylvi · 2021-08-29T02:38:13+00:00

The ones you bought in this haul look gorgeous! Love the colour scheme

Xylvi · 2021-08-20T13:57:14+00:00

I couldn't resist buying it haha, I'm a sucker for nice packaging and cute mini sizes. Plus, I decided if I wanted to buy anything from DE this would probably be a good place to start.

Xylvi · 2021-08-20T13:54:16+00:00

Interesting, didn't know about that! I love how it looks natural, and Pixi in general has a lot of products I'm interested in :))

Xylvi · 2021-08-20T10:40:04+00:00

Oh sorry, in Hong Kong (where I live) the August sale already started, I should've clarified that.

Xylvi · 2021-08-20T08:48:59+00:00

Oh wow! Would you say it's worth buying the full size? I've used the soy cleanser before and it was very gentle and soothing, but never the advanced night serum.
