Sulwhasoo Timetreasure Kit

Sulwhasoo is a Korean beauty brand and I am really late in jumping into the bandwagon. A year or two or three ago, Sulwhasoo is a brand that Asian beauty bloggers rave about. I guess it was because of the K-pop raves and the fact that Sulwhasoo is finally available in Singapore. Personally I don't know much about the brand, and this was given to my mom who gave it to me. There are phrases like:
To balance yin and yang energies.
Finest blend of devotion, wisdom and modern science.
Traditional Korean herbs.

It just sounds so wholesome and I am really excited to try them.

So there are 5 items in this kit, which are all the product of the timetreasure line. There is also a brochure describing each item and how to use them.

I will talk about the product according to the steps it was meant to be applied. By the way, these can be applied for both morning and night.

Timetreasure Perfecting Water [20ml]
This suppose to absorb quickly and leave the skin smooth for hydration to the deepest layer of skin. I am suppose to use my fingers to gently spread across the face. But I find that I always pour more than intended on my palm. I am not sure if full size's packaging will be better, but this is just too messy for me. Cause the water appears milky, and it's sticky. Yes, it do absorbs into the skin eventually, but still sticky.

Timetreasure Perfecting Emulsion [20ml]
This is the opposite from the water. I have to tap the bottle to get the product out. It's still liquidly, but it is harder to apply on the skin. It doesn't just blend as easily. I tried, and it is cause of the water. If apply these on bare skin, it will quite a breeze. Anyway, this isotope promote a soft glow while simultaneously refining skin texture.

Timetreasure Renovating Serum [5ml]
For 5ml, the bottle is the biggest, but it has a pump, quite cool. Anyway this is to restore skin vitality, promoting youthful looking skin and effectively diminishes signs of aging. Now who doesn't want that?
This is a thicker consistency than the emulsion. But it is easier to blend. Plus it feels really nice on my palms. It will make one very expensive hand cream. The scent is also not as strong as the others.

Timetreasure Renovating Eye Cream [3ml]
This suppose to help improve skin defense and reduce puffiness. Plus helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkle. I think a lot of eye cream says that, but this really helps to reduce my puffy eyes. It is quite light when applied which is nice. However the price will make you think twice.

Timetreasure Renovating Cream [8ml]
Lastly, this is to promote youthful healthy looking skin. This appear quite light, but it is actually very thick when applied.

Timetreasure line smells really herbal like. It's like walking into a salon, or a traditional medicine shop. I said salon, cause that's what it associate me with whenever I apply these. Like those really strong hair tonic scent. You kind of get used to the scent.
Personally I feel that these are better on mature skin or anyone with dryer skin. After all the 5 steps, my face is just so oily and feels really heavy. I know anti-aging product are meant for more mature skin, that's why the stuff are more moisturizing and rich. But I don't really have a problem with them. I guess I do now, cause it is the whole skincare routine, like it is too much for me.
Among the five, my favorite got to be the serum. It is the nicest to apply on. However the cream is the one that you can feel that your face is being tighter, even on my first application. So you really can tell how awesome it is. But obviously look at the price.

So yes Sulwhasoo is a brand that you can't mess around with. Sure they have a range of products with different price point, and I happen to try their more if not most expensive line, but it is quite on the pricier side. Well, as compared to Korean brands like Thefaceshop. But it is just average comparing to other well known skincare brands.

Givenchy Le Rose Perfecto Lip Balm

This is in the shade 201, creamy and a hint of light milky pink. I like that it is pretty, but the shade doesn't really suit me. What I like best is that they can engrave your name on the packaging. So it is pretty. 

Yves Rocher Organic Vanilla

Christmas set right here. Love the scent. It's like a perfume vanilla. Not like vanilla extract but still quite good. I don't know, there is just something about it that makes me like it. So this set comes with 3 item. The shower puff, gel and lotion.  Silky Lotion is quite a watery lotion. I so used to squeeze bottle from TBS that this feels weird. The plastic is harder, so can't really clamp between my fingers. But the lotion flow out nicely. It's liquid-like and easy to apply. Sometime it feels like pour out to much. I guess also cause the opening is quite big. Blends into the skin and absorb quickly. Doesn't makes the skin feels sticky. Really good. Really love. Shower Gel is also very watery. It's like a thick syrup. But easy to flow out of the bottle. It lathers quite well. But I find that with shower gels is that it is better to use with a loofah. A bit of goes a long way. It will foam up, makes lathering so much more fun and easier. I guess you can alway...
