I’ve heard that Korean creams with the key word Ato included in their product name are aimed at people with sensitive skin. Looks like Illiyoon, Aestura, and Pyunkang Yul all have an Ato cream. I’d be interested in seeing a comparison video of Korean Ato creams.
The Bonajour Green Tea cream has such a great ingredient list. It is great for the summer, leaves me with a dewy finish and it is such a big bottle that I dont know when Ill ever finish it. I am happy you enjoyed it as well
omg the bonjour water cream (formally known as water bomb) is The Absolutely Best Gel moisturizer there ever was! no other gel moisturizer has ever even come close to this. This is definitely my holy grail. It’s literally is a burst of hydration for my skin. I know it says cream but it feels more like a gel to me. 😅
I love face mists, I always carry a face mist in my bag and use it throughout the day. The Laneige cream skin, Aestura cream mist, cosrx ceramide mist and holika holika honey mist are my favourites as my skin is very dry and in winter I need to use them a few times a day. I did not know RNW did a mist so will try that at some point
Yup me too! I keep cleaning out and reusing my mini sprayer from Sioris. It fits in my bag perfectly, and so far - no spills! (Knock on wood that it stays this way lol)
Chogongjin used to be just Missha’s hanbang lines but they rebranded a couple of years ago (in the beginning of 2022 I think?) They’re not luxury and I’m not sure if the brand is even considered premium but it’s nice to have the option to use hanbang/ginseng without the high price tag!
“Coupons and free gifts…that’s my love language”😂😂😂 I love that RNW mist. Saved my life on the very long flight to Korea ❤I saw that torriden lip essence at the store! Gonna grab one!🎉
As someone with sensitive combo skin, the purito panthenol cream is my absolute ideal texture for a summer night cream and it’s also so effective at calming my skin I’m obsessed 🤩
Combo skin here ... I agree that this is the lightest formula amongst Purito's moisturizers. When I gave Peach Slices snail a try (even though I have dust allergies), this barrier cream helped the healing process cut down to 2 days. Please don't judge my curiouser and curiouser side of me. I also tried the Purito Centella Unscented Recovery Cream (mini) and it was too heavy. I was tempted by the ceramide, many forms of centella, my obsession with mushroom, and my curiosity of perilla. But I completely bypassed my arch nemesis macadamia. Oh well, I got a good deal for 11 different Purito products for $13 so I didn't thoroughly check all the products. Dry skin types might like Purito's Dermide Barrier Balm or the Deep Sea Pure Water Cream because of the macadamia. The Dermide even has mango seed butter. Currently curious about 🥭 in skincare.
16:39 exactly man, i read ppl’s reviews just so i can find out that bit! But they’re giving it freely! Now thats a company that lets its products (admitting its not for everyone) speak for itself! Because i feel like it shows confidence
I do love the Green Tea Water Cream! It just feels so nice & light for summer. I tried their Peptide Water Cream first and it was just not as good for me, it does say oily so I think their labels are pretty accurate. It is really impressive they label them like that. I'm more combo and it was too light for me.
I think you should try the pure am authentic barrier cream balm, it’s so nice , I have dry skin it was the first K beauty moisturizer I ever tried & it’s still something I have to have at all times. I don’t use it daily anymore but when I need it it’s really nice. It leaves your skin SO soft & it’s pretty occlusive. Not sure if it would be enough for you as a night cream but I really recommend you give it a try!
Hi Alice, I tried the Bonajour Eggplant toner and love its calming texture in a BHA exfoliant. You may try it out as a gentle daily exfoliant. I am willing to try out the Bonajour green tea gel cream as emulsifier first moisturizer before applying the occlusion based moisturizer. 😊
I reviewed the ginseng line! It’s an *excellent* choice for experiencing aged ginseng. Quite a level up from brands that use fresh ginseng (aged is more rich in ginsenosides!)
Alice can you do a part 2? I have so many other recommendations: Scinic Prestige Treatment essence, Manyo Panthetoin balm, Abib heartleaf sun essence and the Pyunkang Yul calming moisture mist. Would love your opinion on those 🤩
I share the skill of making everything look hard lol I also open boxes from the bottom! Whenever I see an ASMR unboxing video I think how much more entertaining my version of that would be lol I do think it’s a valuable skill-set! 😂 Can’t wait for the chogongjin review!!
THANK YOU for reviewing the Bonajour Green Tea Gel cream!!!! I have been wanting to try it for ages! ♥️ I have very sensitive skin and (oddly enough) the ONLY daily moisturizer my skin loves and hasn’t reacted to has been the Youth to the People Air Whip moisturizer. It is my holy grail, but it is soooo expensive!!! I found the Bonajour through research and other influencers who promote skin health for sensitive skin, and was happy because I love green tea AND peptides in my regimen. I laughed when you mentioned their peptide moisturizer because I also was confused when looking online- the green tea one DOES have more peptides than their peptide bomb 😅 and it has the green tea! You have sold me- I think I will have to buy it, patch test, and hope I have a more affordable holy grail! 💗💗💗
Ok so the bonanour is definitely more lightweight. I believe the brand said somewhere that you could mix a drop of oil in if it’s a bit too lightweight for you though (or just apply more since the tube size is quite generous!)
@@AliceintheRabbitHole you are an absolute ANGEL, Alice!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this for me! I find the YTTP to be one of the most lightweight, yet hydrating moisturizers I’ve ever tried. With the amazing price and value of the Bonajour, I’d be more than open to applying a more liberal amount of product to get the job done!!! Love you and your channel 💗💗💗
I've had my fair share of struggles with opening boxes too but I bought the Slice 10514 Mini Box Cutter with Ceramic Blade and now I even look forward to opening boxes 😜 Highly recommend!
There is one dog walking around with pretty lips ! Rookie question: How many products can you layer before going from hydrating glow to tacky sticky glow ? Yes, I understand it depends in the product too 😀
Hmm that’s a really good question. I think it can also depend on how much time between steps as well. Considering the 7-skin method can be non-sticky (and wonderful haha!), I do think it really just…depends lol. Sorry for the non-answer there!
Yasss! If I was still young, I would create an overlay boardgame on monopoly. One of the ways to Get Out Acne Jail is to have 3 pimple patch cards, 3 benzoyl peroxide cards, or 3 salicylic acide cards 😂😂😂.
Dogs & cats can be alike, but the majority are very different. Since having dogs, I haven't gone to the washroom alone.😂😂😂. I do miss having cats. My Mercutio was my familiar. Very happy you helped your friends and their dogs! You have a wonderful heart!💖 Many blessings!💖💖💖
Ooh, can’t wait for your thoughts on Chogongjin. I have a bottle of the Sosaeng Jin Boosting essence in the cupboard that I will pull out just as soon as I’ve emptied a million other essences 😅. I saw Odile Monod mention it in one of her videos but definitely curious to hear your take!
It took me a while to figure out how to use it in my routine! At first I treated it like a serum, but now I do think it’s a bit more of a serumy essence (lol)
@@AliceintheRabbitHole interesting! Odile mentioned in her brief review that it reminded her a lot of Sulwhasoo FCAS but with a more tightening effect so I was going to use it as a first essence along with Donginbi 1899 (had to buy it based on your review!). Just as soon as I finish my Missha essences, which I am staring at with slight resentment for taking so long to empty and therefore getting in the way of trying new things 😂
I have had my cat for 6 years now and she has never eaten my skincare- thats why I love her! LOL! and her cute face, paws, temperment etc. Love that ceramide lip product. Good as a cosmetic too if you want shiny lips. purito b5 cream is a holy grail at this point, love it under a heavier cream. Their centella is so calming to my skin for whatever reason and the panthenol content is next level! if you want a heavy 10% panthenol cream - try make prem's safe me intensive CP cream! Fragrance free though has a slightly weird smell, but very thick and restorative! I need to try that licorice cream (Ricorice Exosome on the inci list LOL) and that bonajour cream has been wonderful this summer for me, tried it for the first time a few months ago! Not as watery as I was expecting! lovely reviews
Cats feel like a really good study buddy. They always give you company, but rarely invade your space (too much, just the occasional pet request lol). I do think I just made this connection because mine WERE study buddies back in school haha! Oh nooo does it say risosome 🙈 that’s the only problem with the picture-to-text. It has a LOT of misspellings lol. my modern day Pokémon-I gotta catch em all Thanks so much for the rec! I do like make prem, so that’s certainly something I would be interested in. And yep I’ve been using it layered under the (not shown) chogongjin cream. That’s been a delightful combo!
I had old version of Neogen vitamin c and I loved it so much! So gentle but effective. I think the only difference is this kakadu plum and they removed essential oils. You should try new axis-y sunscreen!
Have you tried the vanicream vitamin c serum before? So far I like how it has ceramides in it and isn't irritating for my sensitive and dry skin, but I haven't been using it long enough to see results.
Girl , dogs are like toddlers with fur 🤣. Omg u had to free Carl from his self 🤣 poor little guy. He looked so cute hanging on his branch like that. * The struggles of dogs chewing up everything 🤣 and it's always your good stuff . I go through this on the daily . Makeup brushes,sponges , Velcro rollers, lip balm , my moisturizer that is just the latest with my puppy Nia . My other dogs aren't too bad although they have been through 6 pair of rainbow flip flops and they aren't cheap .
@@AliceintheRabbitHole idk they always act like they have smoked 1 to many joints 😂 I guess maybe they are less stressed in the wild chilling in the trees all camouflaged up so nothing can see them. They get use to so many other things being pets that they wouldn't worry about in the wild and you mess with their daily routine and space and they get aniexty attacks from hell .
Yeah I think that’s true. We adopted an injured house gecko a while back and I realized we can’t really let her go after spoiling her in captivity. All her needs met + no predators = easy living. But it probably does change the way they think!
The IUNIK centella sunscreen is really similar to both the Skin1004 Centella Sun Serum and the Thank You Farmer Sun Cream. Maybe it's the beta glucan, but the IUNIK is a tiny bit more calming/soothing somehow than the Thank You Farmer. And the Skin1004 is a tiny bit lighter, with more of a "film-forming" feel, like when you splash your face with water at the end of the day, it feels a bit resistant to removal. I enjoy them all but won't keep them all on hand--I'll look for sales and go with the best deal!
The licorice product that you talked about what if it had this and that is really Tropicals Faded serum. Cannot say too much about percentage of the ingredients though. I can’t remember if you ever reviewed that one🤔
Alice! Hi! I love the Bonjaour green tea water Bomb/cream lol I don’t know why they changed the name but yeah I’ve gone through one tube and currently on my second, it’s really nice. I was initially very excited about the licorice cream however, upon looking at the ingredients list that excitement quickly left my body and was replaced with sadness because chlorella unfortunately breaks me out and it’s number 9 if only it was at the bottom then I would give it a go. Le sigh but if you’re looking for a thick moisturizer then you should check out the Holika Holika less on skin Panthenol cream! It’s not gellish.
I’m so sorry to hear! Sadly I know the struggle from my need to avoid bergamot. It’s painful to read a beautiful ingredients list and then - bam - there it is: our allergen 😱💔 Thanks so much for the rec!
Oh yeah, I also have the Bergamot allergen 😩I really don’t understand why brands keep using this particular essential oil when it’s literally the worst one. The licorice ampoule from this line looks nice though. I’ll definitely be trying that! You’re welcome :) @@AliceintheRabbitHole
Yep I even grew up with them! They were outdoor cats as a kid because of my dad’s allergies. Now I don’t have any because of my partner’s allergies (but we do have a lot of reptiles/amphibians lol!)
Poor Carl...wow....wolves (ie Huskies)....He is very emotional, isn't he. I have an very emotional dog...it is amazing how some critters react...to everything...but also bring so much joy.
Question not K-Beauty related: that Eadam airy moisturizer that you've recommended several times....Could you tell me a bit about it? Ive been curious about maybe trying it. For reference I have somewhat mature (age 42) and very dry skin.
I’m just about to finish up Pyunkang Yul’s ATO Cream Blue Label. It’s a similar weight and feel to Illiyoon’s ATO Cream. I was turned onto it by Kelly Driscoll. Ingredients of note include: Glycerin, Macadamia Oil, Shea Butter, Ceramide NP, Beta-Glucan, Copper Tripeptide-1
Do you have advice for how to narrow down which ingredient/product is breaking you out? For example, how many days after starting a new product would it take to break out, or is it different for everyone? My skin became super reactive to certain products to the point of cystic acne sometimes ever since I got an iud (how crazy is it that even with mild-moderate cystic acne on my face, chest, back, and tops of arms, I’m still not willing to take out my iud in this post-roe world 🙃) so I try to avoid anything with oil because I’m pretty sure certain oils are the culprit, but even then I get random breakouts
Ah I would say it’s individual. And sometimes that even depends on the product. Tbh that IS one of the hardest parts of skincare for those of us with sensitivities. The good news is: once we figure out our triggers, it’s much easier to avoid products with them in the first place ☺️
Huskies are awesome ❤ ours relocated a bunch of sod my husband put down 😂 and destroyed several palm trees he planted 😂 Jorge the Husky said “we’ll have none of that!”
I’m on the same page as you - looking for a thick korean night cream!! I’ve heard good things about the pyunkang yul creams 😅 but can’t figure out the right one for me. Would love if you could try that!
Yes!! I did like the pyunkang yul repair balm (not the cream, cream was a disappointment!) the only catch for me is that i plowed right through the 1 oz jar 🥲
Within a few weeks, my husband was diagnosed with cancer, my father was put into palliative care and died, and our house burnt to the ground with our three cats inside (heartbreaking) and 60+ years of memories (not as heartbreaking but still horrible). Then Covid happened, my back broke in a fall, and we dealt with probate. My skin was a wreck for almost two years as a result. My moisture barrier just would not heal. I was breaking out. Everything I put on my skin caused a negative reaction. And my skin aged by about ten years. So, if anyone tells me that stress doesn’t cause skin distress, I don’t listen.
Aww, poor Carl. Glad he has the house to himself. As for cats not being as needy, I don't know. I've gone down the reddit black cat hole and there are plenty of stories of cats who are needy (the bathroom stories in particular) especially since I don't remember my childhood cat acting that way.
Ah that is true. I once had a roommate with a cat that would slip his paws under the bathroom door. He needed to join you no matter *what* you were doing. That was a needy cat! 🤣
I like the RNW serum. I hope you ladies are safe down there in Florida ❤🙏 Aww poor Carl! And yes, you are never alone when you have a dog. Lol I’ve lost track of how many lip products my yellow Labrador, Adelle has eaten. She’s a stinker.
Oh gosh right. I was over here going, “hooray I have some time finally!!” and then what happens? A freaking hurricane. Such. Is. Life!! (Thanks for the well wishes!)
I like it so far, but will have to give a longer term update ☺️ So honestly, my favorite c eye creams are western thus far. I really liked glow recipe’s guava, and I also like origins (which I think is coming up in the 21 days). Both have a cosmetic effect as well, so they give instant brightening! For K-beauty, I do like the Mary & May tranexamic acid, and I really like the price/tube. But I do feel I saw better (or maybe faster?) results from the 2 I mentioned above. HTH!
Years ago I made a sandwich with some chips on the side. I got a call or something that took me to another room. I came back to eat lunch and the plate was bare. I actually thought, did i make it? Then I saw a chip in the floor by my Gypsy! She got it! I laughed then and I am laughing about it now. ❌️⭕️
Hey Alice, I watched lots of your videos recently, and saw that you are a big fan of snail mucin, I researched it more, and watched the dermatologist Shereene Idris short on it and she said it contains Glycolic acid (she also loves cosrx snail mucin essence), but I was shocked that it does contain glycolic acid, and researched it myself and that is true,. My question is - how we can use it in the morning then if it contains such a photosensitive ingredient? ( I want to try the essence myself but because of the glycolic started doubting)... But also dont want to miss out on such a praised ingredient! :) What are your thoughts on it?? :) thank you!
Yes, it does! But as someone who is sensitive to that ingredient, I would say it’s very, very low in snail mucin, and surely lower when it comes to snail mucin extract. Essentially it’s an ingredient in an ingredient in a product (part of the entire chemical composition -> made into an extract -> formulated into a product). Hope that helps!
Hi Alice. Nubuzin has a very nice thiccc cream, it's the number 4 full nutrient firming cream with red ginseng, its thic and wonderfull, i'm using it at night
Hi. This Ulta mess has me so mad. An hour and a half on hold and chat. No resolution. They are charging me for shipping and GWP. Customer service said we didn't charge you. My card says it did. I am so frustrated! Need this video. ❌️⭕️
And get this: apparently it’s been going on since last week. If it helps, I would say you can probably send an email to get it corrected vs make a phone call. Because they know…and yet they’re still taking orders. 😑😑 Very bad business model, Ulta. This is how you lose customers!! 😡
Hahaha right! Aw turtles are so adorable too. I’m sorry I’ve probably gone off about this before, but I can’t help “🥹”ing every turtle I see. Even the big ones that would definitely bite me 🤣
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I'm OK with it when it's kids but other than that I am not a fan. I'll hug my mom, but otherwise it's definitely awkward and uncomfortable.
It was so kind of you to watch your friend's dogs! Huskies are super high energy and they can be trouble makers. Sorry you lost a lip balm! Not all dogs are like that though! I have the energy opposite of a husky, she's an Otterhound. Like a (long haired) bloodhound crossed with a muppet. The biggest downside is the drool, imo. 😅 I wish your friends luck with their HOA, despicable that they can dictate people's lives in their own home!
I had to look those up, oh my goodness what cute doggies!! 😍 Yes I can’t believe what they went through. Glad they got an apartment, but now they have to sell the house. That HOA sure caused a giant headache, ugh!
I have a dog who weighs the same as I do. She gets lonely if I am deluded enough to think I can pee alone and has to come and supervise. Worse than toddlers.
Haha YUP. I did realize: they do their business with us standing around so..perhaps the natural conclusion is that they want to be around for us when we do ours 😂
You would probably be a great dog trainer, it is bad practice to scold a dog after an undesired behaviour. I was told to replace an undesired behaviour with a desired one and balanced dog trainers correct during an undesired or bad behaviour. Dogs don't relate things that happen at seperate times together, hence clicker training is very successful because the reward can be given very quickly.
@@AliceintheRabbitHole Yes pizza is very tempting especially with those big noses they have! The "leave it" command is among the most used in our house.
I got the Torriden lips on Amazon I love it so much I got 2 lol one to carry one to leave 🤣 and The RNW Mist I am LOVING!!!! I use it in the morning before buffet copper peptides and at night use the RNW Ceramide serum … great choices CosRX Peptide Booster is finally on the way lol I got the Dr Harris anti-wrinkle sleeping mask from current body today along with an IPL Smoothe Skin Bare they are half off I cannot wait to try them!!!! 🤍🖤🤎🤍🖤🤎🤍🖤🤎
My peptide booster just arrived (a day earlier than the expected delivery, we love to see it!) Sooo excited to try that one Oh wow I’m going to have to go look those up. 50% off!? 😱
Ok Ive also been on the search for a very rich, hydrating night cream that works for my very dry skin, without necessarily having to add an oil with it, ykwim? Bonus points if it contains any antioxidants, peptides, ceramides, etc. Here's my list, after years of hunting. Unfortunately its a bit spendy but I'm like you- I wait for deep, deep discounts or deals. So, in order: 1.) Kate Somerville DeliKate Moisturizing Cream (has some peptides and ceramides, and it works well on the most parched and sensitive skin, all on it's own.) 2.) Dr. Perricone's Neuropeptide Night Cream. Beautiful, packed with peptides and barrier supporting ingredients and it also is enough on its own for my very dry skin. 3.) La Mer original cream (I KNOW! I know, I promise, you don't even have to say it lol. The price is ridiculous. BUT over the years I've kept my eyes open and have found a few travel/small jars at deep discount. And they last a long time! Also- I know a lot of the ingredients are pretty basic, but I swear that there is *something* real there with that miracle broth. 4.) Fresh Black Tea Firming Corset Cream. Surprising but true! Very rich, very hydrating and has a great peptide complex. Occasionally I do apply this one twice or add a bit of an oil. And that's what I've found so far! Honorable mention to the Sioris Deep in a Barrier cream (bought on your recommendation); its so lovely, but sometimes I do need to apply it twice. Do you have any you've found?

With the amazing price and value of the Bonajour, I’d be more than open to applying a more liberal amount of product to get the job done!!!
Love you and your channel 💗💗💗
I've had my fair share of struggles with opening boxes too but I bought the Slice 10514 Mini Box Cutter with Ceramic Blade and now I even look forward to opening boxes 😜 Highly recommend!
There is one dog walking around with pretty lips !
Rookie question: How many products can you layer before going from hydrating glow to tacky sticky glow ? Yes, I understand it depends in the product too 😀
Hmm that’s a really good question. I think it can also depend on how much time between steps as well. Considering the 7-skin method can be non-sticky (and wonderful haha!), I do think it really just…depends lol.
Sorry for the non-answer there!
Ok, that sounds like the best game ever! It would go fabulously with the skincare dating show 🤣🤣
Hasbro needs to work overtime to bring us these games!
Yasss! If I was still young, I would create an overlay boardgame on monopoly. One of the ways to Get Out Acne Jail is to have 3 pimple patch cards, 3 benzoyl peroxide cards, or 3 salicylic acide cards 😂😂😂.
Dogs & cats can be alike, but the majority are very different. Since having dogs, I haven't gone to the washroom alone.😂😂😂. I do miss having cats. My Mercutio was my familiar.
Very happy you helped your friends and their dogs! You have a wonderful heart!💖
Many blessings!💖💖💖
Yes!! I felt like they were saying, “but you do want company in there, surely!?” 😆
I've got the Torriden lip essence coming in an order tomorrow (🤞), looking forward to trying it!
Hope you like it! (I’ll add: I suspect it’s hard NOT to 😁)
I got the Skin1004 sunscreen you talked about and love it!
Glad you’re enjoying! ☺️
Ooh, can’t wait for your thoughts on Chogongjin. I have a bottle of the Sosaeng Jin Boosting essence in the cupboard that I will pull out just as soon as I’ve emptied a million other essences 😅. I saw Odile Monod mention it in one of her videos but definitely curious to hear your take!
It took me a while to figure out how to use it in my routine! At first I treated it like a serum, but now I do think it’s a bit more of a serumy essence (lol)
@@AliceintheRabbitHole interesting! Odile mentioned in her brief review that it reminded her a lot of Sulwhasoo FCAS but with a more tightening effect so I was going to use it as a first essence along with Donginbi 1899 (had to buy it based on your review!). Just as soon as I finish my Missha essences, which I am staring at with slight resentment for taking so long to empty and therefore getting in the way of trying new things 😂
I tried the RNW ceramide mist about 3 months ago and I adore it. I am 51 with combo (oily/normal) skin though.
4:42 omg! She’s got Rapunzel’s pet!
I have had my cat for 6 years now and she has never eaten my skincare- thats why I love her! LOL! and her cute face, paws, temperment etc. Love that ceramide lip product. Good as a cosmetic too if you want shiny lips. purito b5 cream is a holy grail at this point, love it under a heavier cream. Their centella is so calming to my skin for whatever reason and the panthenol content is next level! if you want a heavy 10% panthenol cream - try make prem's safe me intensive CP cream! Fragrance free though has a slightly weird smell, but very thick and restorative! I need to try that licorice cream (Ricorice Exosome on the inci list LOL) and that bonajour cream has been wonderful this summer for me, tried it for the first time a few months ago! Not as watery as I was expecting! lovely reviews
Cats feel like a really good study buddy. They always give you company, but rarely invade your space (too much, just the occasional pet request lol). I do think I just made this connection because mine WERE study buddies back in school haha!
Oh nooo does it say risosome 🙈 that’s the only problem with the picture-to-text. It has a LOT of misspellings lol. my modern day Pokémon-I gotta catch em all
Thanks so much for the rec! I do like make prem, so that’s certainly something I would be interested in. And yep I’ve been using it layered under the (not shown) chogongjin cream. That’s been a delightful combo!
Alice, I hope you guys gear up and stay safe, please ❤❤❤
I have never tried RNW, had it in my cart a thousand times and never do it. I am gonna finally get it!!
It’s so amazing and the ceramide serum is even better !!!! Love them both use everyday and the Essence 🤍🤍🤍
I had old version of Neogen vitamin c and I loved it so much! So gentle but effective. I think the only difference is this kakadu plum and they removed essential oils.
You should try new axis-y sunscreen!
The mineral one right? Yeah I heard they reformulated it again!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole No, they have new one from their Biome line. That one is chemical
A review of Korean Ato creams would be great.
I am so happy to hear yhe iunik spf is good. I got it for 1$ on stylevana and its currently in shipment. Yay!
$1!? Nice find!!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole ikr!!! It was a surprise sale specifically on the spf 1$ with any purchase. I couldn't say no lol
Have you tried the vanicream vitamin c serum before? So far I like how it has ceramides in it and isn't irritating for my sensitive and dry skin, but I haven't been using it long enough to see results.
I actually haven’t tried anything from the brand 🤐 I’ve heard good things!
Girl , dogs are like toddlers with fur 🤣. Omg u had to free Carl from his self 🤣 poor little guy. He looked so cute hanging on his branch like that.
* The struggles of dogs chewing up everything 🤣 and it's always your good stuff . I go through this on the daily . Makeup brushes,sponges , Velcro rollers, lip balm , my moisturizer that is just the latest with my puppy Nia . My other dogs aren't too bad although they have been through 6 pair of rainbow flip flops and they aren't cheap .
Hahaha that is incredibly accurate!
He was such a wreck that he tied himself into a knot. Howww do they survive in the wild lol
@@AliceintheRabbitHole idk they always act like they have smoked 1 to many joints 😂 I guess maybe they are less stressed in the wild chilling in the trees all camouflaged up so nothing can see them. They get use to so many other things being pets that they wouldn't worry about in the wild and you mess with their daily routine and space and they get aniexty attacks from hell .
Yeah I think that’s true. We adopted an injured house gecko a while back and I realized we can’t really let her go after spoiling her in captivity. All her needs met + no predators = easy living. But it probably does change the way they think!
Very interested in the water cream for Day time use. Thank you for another great video.
I am very pleasantly surprised with that one! ☺️
The IUNIK centella sunscreen is really similar to both the Skin1004 Centella Sun Serum and the Thank You Farmer Sun Cream. Maybe it's the beta glucan, but the IUNIK is a tiny bit more calming/soothing somehow than the Thank You Farmer. And the Skin1004 is a tiny bit lighter, with more of a "film-forming" feel, like when you splash your face with water at the end of the day, it feels a bit resistant to removal. I enjoy them all but won't keep them all on hand--I'll look for sales and go with the best deal!
You and I think alike on how we shop 🤣
The licorice product that you talked about what if it had this and that is really Tropicals Faded serum.
Cannot say too much about percentage of the ingredients though.
I can’t remember if you ever reviewed that one🤔
Yup, topicals absolutely popped into my mind as I was filming this!
The pup wanted to take it home! Awwww❌️⭕️
They had been sniffing it on my lips all week. So I can’t say I’m terribly surprised that they saw the opportunity and went for it lol!
Hi Alice you looked fabulous as always 😊❤xx
thank you! ☺️
Alice! Hi! I love the Bonjaour green tea water Bomb/cream lol I don’t know why they changed the name but yeah I’ve gone through one tube and currently on my second, it’s really nice. I was initially very excited about the licorice cream however, upon looking at the ingredients list that excitement quickly left my body and was replaced with sadness because chlorella unfortunately breaks me out and it’s number 9 if only it was at the bottom then I would give it a go. Le sigh but if you’re looking for a thick moisturizer then you should check out the Holika Holika less on skin Panthenol cream! It’s not gellish.
I’m so sorry to hear! Sadly I know the struggle from my need to avoid bergamot. It’s painful to read a beautiful ingredients list and then - bam - there it is: our allergen 😱💔
Thanks so much for the rec!
Oh yeah, I also have the Bergamot allergen 😩I really don’t understand why brands keep using this particular essential oil when it’s literally the worst one. The licorice ampoule from this line looks nice though. I’ll definitely be trying that!
You’re welcome :) @@AliceintheRabbitHole
3:36 idk why its not a surprise to me that you’re a cat person lol, I’m a cat owner myself and i think im falling in live with my cats again every day
Yep I even grew up with them! They were outdoor cats as a kid because of my dad’s allergies. Now I don’t have any because of my partner’s allergies (but we do have a lot of reptiles/amphibians lol!)
Love your reviews!❤
Great video, yours videos makes my day 🤗🥰☺️
🥰🥰
Wait, I have cats and I don't get to do anything by myself... Alice, teach me how to get to do things by myself pretty pleeease? 😀
Poor Carl...wow....wolves (ie Huskies)....He is very emotional, isn't he. I have an very emotional dog...it is amazing how some critters react...to everything...but also bring so much joy.
He is so emotional!! He’s upset right now because we ran out of blueberries 🤣
Question not K-Beauty related: that Eadam airy moisturizer that you've recommended several times....Could you tell me a bit about it? Ive been curious about maybe trying it. For reference I have somewhat mature (age 42) and very dry skin.
I’m just about to finish up Pyunkang Yul’s ATO Cream Blue Label. It’s a similar weight and feel to Illiyoon’s ATO Cream. I was turned onto it by Kelly Driscoll. Ingredients of note include: Glycerin, Macadamia Oil, Shea Butter, Ceramide NP, Beta-Glucan, Copper Tripeptide-1
That’s been on my “I’d like to try” list for so long! Good to hear it’s like the illiyoon as I do enjoy that one ☺️
More ginseng please! ❤
The Bonajour Green Tea was my gateway Korean moisturizer 😂 It's fantastic ❤
Do you have advice for how to narrow down which ingredient/product is breaking you out? For example, how many days after starting a new product would it take to break out, or is it different for everyone? My skin became super reactive to certain products to the point of cystic acne sometimes ever since I got an iud (how crazy is it that even with mild-moderate cystic acne on my face, chest, back, and tops of arms, I’m still not willing to take out my iud in this post-roe world 🙃) so I try to avoid anything with oil because I’m pretty sure certain oils are the culprit, but even then I get random breakouts
Ah I would say it’s individual. And sometimes that even depends on the product.
Tbh that IS one of the hardest parts of skincare for those of us with sensitivities. The good news is: once we figure out our triggers, it’s much easier to avoid products with them in the first place ☺️
have you tried the cosrx moisture power enriched cream yet? :)
Huskies are awesome ❤ ours relocated a bunch of sod my husband put down 😂 and destroyed several palm trees he planted 😂 Jorge the Husky said “we’ll have none of that!”
“I have determined this is a no-palm tree zone” - Jorge 🤣
@@AliceintheRabbitHole 😂😂😂
I’m on the same page as you - looking for a thick korean night cream!! I’ve heard good things about the pyunkang yul creams 😅 but can’t figure out the right one for me. Would love if you could try that!
Yes!! I did like the pyunkang yul repair balm (not the cream, cream was a disappointment!) the only catch for me is that i plowed right through the 1 oz jar 🥲
Within a few weeks, my husband was diagnosed with cancer, my father was put into palliative care and died, and our house burnt to the ground with our three cats inside (heartbreaking) and 60+ years of memories (not as heartbreaking but still horrible). Then Covid happened, my back broke in a fall, and we dealt with probate. My skin was a wreck for almost two years as a result. My moisture barrier just would not heal. I was breaking out. Everything I put on my skin caused a negative reaction. And my skin aged by about ten years. So, if anyone tells me that stress doesn’t cause skin distress, I don’t listen.
How does Bonajour Green tea water bomb compares to Cosrx Green tea aqua soothing gel cream?
Me, a dog owner, thinking I would definitely still use that lip balm. 😂
Aww, poor Carl. Glad he has the house to himself. As for cats not being as needy, I don't know. I've gone down the reddit black cat hole and there are plenty of stories of cats who are needy (the bathroom stories in particular) especially since I don't remember my childhood cat acting that way.
Ah that is true. I once had a roommate with a cat that would slip his paws under the bathroom door. He needed to join you no matter *what* you were doing. That was a needy cat! 🤣
I really love the neogen vit c... It was one of my favorites for a LONG time!😅
I never got to try it! But I do find myself wondering how this new one compares
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I am definitely going to have to try it and see. I wonder what they have changed... Gotta look into that.
I like the RNW serum. I hope you ladies are safe down there in Florida ❤🙏 Aww poor Carl! And yes, you are never alone when you have a dog. Lol I’ve lost track of how many lip products my yellow Labrador, Adelle has eaten. She’s a stinker.
Oh gosh right. I was over here going, “hooray I have some time finally!!” and then what happens? A freaking hurricane.
Such. Is. Life!!
(Thanks for the well wishes!)
The Torriden is Fine. Just wash the opening.....it's fine.
How are you liking the mist ??
Vit C eye brightening cream recs ??
I like it so far, but will have to give a longer term update ☺️
So honestly, my favorite c eye creams are western thus far. I really liked glow recipe’s guava, and I also like origins (which I think is coming up in the 21 days). Both have a cosmetic effect as well, so they give instant brightening!
For K-beauty, I do like the Mary & May tranexamic acid, and I really like the price/tube. But I do feel I saw better (or maybe faster?) results from the 2 I mentioned above. HTH!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I wonder about the Ole Hendrickson banana bright.
Years ago I made a sandwich with some chips on the side. I got a call or something that took me to another room. I came back to eat lunch and the plate was bare. I actually thought, did i make it? Then I saw a chip in the floor by my Gypsy! She got it! I laughed then and I am laughing about it now. ❌️⭕️
🤣😂 that sounds about right! Yeah it’s impossible to be mad at them, they’re just too precious!
Hey Alice, I watched lots of your videos recently, and saw that you are a big fan of snail mucin, I researched it more, and watched the dermatologist Shereene Idris short on it and she said it contains Glycolic acid (she also loves cosrx snail mucin essence), but I was shocked that it does contain glycolic acid, and researched it myself and that is true,. My question is - how we can use it in the morning then if it contains such a photosensitive ingredient? ( I want to try the essence myself but because of the glycolic started doubting)... But also dont want to miss out on such a praised ingredient! :) What are your thoughts on it?? :) thank you!
Yes, it does! But as someone who is sensitive to that ingredient, I would say it’s very, very low in snail mucin, and surely lower when it comes to snail mucin extract. Essentially it’s an ingredient in an ingredient in a product (part of the entire chemical composition -> made into an extract -> formulated into a product). Hope that helps!
Is There something wrong with the volume or is it just me? Can anyone recommend an spf WITH a white cast. I'm Casper pale and i actually enjoy lol
Have you try Jumiso pure c 5.5 and review?
Not yet, but it’s in that YesStyle order I just placed 🥳😁
@@AliceintheRabbitHole sweet Alice I will wait for your review
Have a great week ❌️ ⭕️
You too! I hope you can get the Ulta situation resolved 🙁
I am 1st!! I. My game today!!
My 20 yr old who's incapable of taking care of himself tried to talk me into bringing home a puppy😅😅i said " oh HECK NO" LOL
🤣😂
Hi Alice. Nubuzin has a very nice thiccc cream, it's the number 4 full nutrient firming cream with red ginseng, its thic and wonderfull, i'm using it at night
Hi. This Ulta mess has me so mad. An hour and a half on hold and chat. No resolution. They are charging me for shipping and GWP. Customer service said we didn't charge you. My card says it did. I am so frustrated! Need this video. ❌️⭕️
And get this: apparently it’s been going on since last week.
If it helps, I would say you can probably send an email to get it corrected vs make a phone call. Because they know…and yet they’re still taking orders. 😑😑
Very bad business model, Ulta. This is how you lose customers!! 😡
@AliceintheRabbitHole I will try it. I may just give my money to Sephora. Thanks Alice.
🐰
Poor Carl! I also stare at my turtle sometimes and wonder how in the world can she ever survive in the wild. Sometimes they have no brain cells.
Hahaha right! Aw turtles are so adorable too. I’m sorry I’ve probably gone off about this before, but I can’t help “🥹”ing every turtle I see. Even the big ones that would definitely bite me 🤣
@@AliceintheRabbitHole Honestly same! But also reptiles in general XD They’re so cute!
Oh no Carl! ❌️⭕️
Poor little guy, had himself in a knot 😱
Free gifts and coupon codes are also my love language. Don't touch me or talk to me, but if you can get me a discount, we'll be together forever.
Are you a non-hugger? I am too 😅 I’ll put up with it, but…I’m pretty sure I make hugs very, very awkward 🙈
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I'm OK with it when it's kids but other than that I am not a fan. I'll hug my mom, but otherwise it's definitely awkward and uncomfortable.
It was so kind of you to watch your friend's dogs! Huskies are super high energy and they can be trouble makers. Sorry you lost a lip balm! Not all dogs are like that though! I have the energy opposite of a husky, she's an Otterhound. Like a (long haired) bloodhound crossed with a muppet. The biggest downside is the drool, imo. 😅 I wish your friends luck with their HOA, despicable that they can dictate people's lives in their own home!
I had to look those up, oh my goodness what cute doggies!! 😍
Yes I can’t believe what they went through. Glad they got an apartment, but now they have to sell the house. That HOA sure caused a giant headache, ugh!
I have a dog who weighs the same as I do. She gets lonely if I am deluded enough to think I can pee alone and has to come and supervise. Worse than toddlers.
Haha YUP. I did realize: they do their business with us standing around so..perhaps the natural conclusion is that they want to be around for us when we do ours 😂
You would probably be a great dog trainer, it is bad practice to scold a dog after an undesired behaviour. I was told to replace an undesired behaviour with a desired one and balanced dog trainers correct during an undesired or bad behaviour. Dogs don't relate things that happen at seperate times together, hence clicker training is very successful because the reward can be given very quickly.
Good to know! I couldn’t ever scold them as I don’t think they intentionally would do anything we dislike.
Unattended pizza is just VERY appealing 👀🤣
@@AliceintheRabbitHole Yes pizza is very tempting especially with those big noses they have! The "leave it" command is among the most used in our house.
Dogs keep you busy. They are like children. ❌️⭕️
Yes!! They require a whole lot of time, I discovered!
But I already miss them so much 🤣
I got the Torriden lips on Amazon I love it so much I got 2 lol one to carry one to leave 🤣 and The RNW Mist I am LOVING!!!! I use it in the morning before buffet copper peptides and at night use the RNW Ceramide serum … great choices
CosRX Peptide Booster is finally on the way lol
I got the Dr Harris anti-wrinkle sleeping mask from current body today along with an IPL Smoothe Skin Bare they are half off I cannot wait to try them!!!! 🤍🖤🤎🤍🖤🤎🤍🖤🤎
My peptide booster just arrived (a day earlier than the expected delivery, we love to see it!) Sooo excited to try that one
Oh wow I’m going to have to go look those up. 50% off!? 😱
Ok Ive also been on the search for a very rich, hydrating night cream that works for my very dry skin, without necessarily having to add an oil with it, ykwim?
Bonus points if it contains any antioxidants, peptides, ceramides, etc. Here's my list, after years of hunting. Unfortunately its a bit spendy but I'm like you- I wait for deep, deep discounts or deals. So, in order:
1.) Kate Somerville DeliKate Moisturizing Cream (has some peptides and ceramides, and it works well on the most parched and sensitive skin, all on it's own.)
2.) Dr. Perricone's Neuropeptide Night Cream. Beautiful, packed with peptides and barrier supporting ingredients and it also is enough on its own for my very dry skin.
3.) La Mer original cream (I KNOW! I know, I promise, you don't even have to say it lol. The price is ridiculous. BUT over the years I've kept my eyes open and have found a few travel/small jars at deep discount. And they last a long time! Also- I know a lot of the ingredients are pretty basic, but I swear that there is *something* real there with that miracle broth.
4.) Fresh Black Tea Firming Corset Cream. Surprising but true! Very rich, very hydrating and has a great peptide complex. Occasionally I do apply this one twice or add a bit of an oil.
And that's what I've found so far! Honorable mention to the Sioris Deep in a Barrier cream (bought on your recommendation); its so lovely, but sometimes I do need to apply it twice.
Do you have any you've found?
