[Reupload] Quick Laneige Review

I will be soon doing a new review on the current laneige products that I still use now. It still plays a big part in my everyday routine and there has been so much more that has been added/products changed!

As requested by Stolen_waters from Soompi, a mini review of the Laneige products that I use.

I currently use on a daily basis, Sensitive Mild Emulsion and the Sensitive Mild Cleansing Foam and the Eye Designer Cream. I also occasionally use theStrawberry Yogurt Pack that comes in a tub. I did used to use the lip treatment they sell, it also worked wonders on my lips since I constantly have dry, chapped lips but with the constant use, I used it up within 2 weeks and it sells at $150HKD so constant use wasn't going to cut it as its quite expensive. I now use Kiehl's #1 Lip Balm and it seems to be doing a good job.

Just a background to my skin conditions, my skin is very sensitive due to ezcema, its not oily or anything, its usually just dry.
 
Sensitive Mild Cleansing Foam - I use this day and night, you do not need to use alot, about pea size is enough, it comes in a 120ml tube, even though it can come to be expensive, as said, you don't need to use alot so it will last a while, I've been using mine since the end of March and I'm no where near half way through yet. It does not remove make up that well so I would suggest removing your make up with a wipe or something first. The stuff itself inside the tube is just like any other cream and looks quite pearly, when using apply to a wet face and it will foam up and you rinse it off after. Gently pat dry with a towel and it should after a while leave you with clear soft skin. There's not much of a distinctive smell to it but if you try to smell it then its quite a pleasant smell,it hasnt stinged me or anything even with the dry parts of my skin so overall I say its a good cleanser.


Sensitive Mild Emulsion - The whole senstive mild range from Laneige consists of 4 products... I only use 2 of them. I'm working on getting the toner though for occasional use to tone as well as moisturise. This comes in a 100ml glass bottle that has a pump at the top, the Emulsion is my one and only moisturiser, it is quite runny, I find that it absorbs easily, I like the fact that its runny though as it is easy to apply everywhere however it's not so runny to the extent that it will drip right off your hands if you hold them vertically. This I have used quite alot of and in need of a new one now, I used to use about 1 pump and half, now I use 3/4 of a pump and it seems to work nicely, just the same. It feels quite watery when applied as well but with dry skin, if it feels watery, imo, its very nice. What I find is if you are feeling very hot and bothered because of irritated skin like from heat rash, you can put it in the fridge and then use it and it also feels very nice cool on your face like splashing water on your face because its runny.

Eye Designer Cream - I don't necessarily use this on a daily basis, I do use it every I'd say about 2-3 days at night. This is part of the basic care range so anyone can use it really. It comes in 30ml little tub with a screw top, I got taught to use this by the sales woman by gently patting onto my eye and leave it for a while and then wipe it off, but I found that a waste so I use a cotton bud to dab it on and just leave it to absorb, again, if hot you can put it in the fridge. There is a very distinct smell to this one, its a nice one too, smells of blueberries and the cream itself is a lovely blue colour too. The consistancy is similiar to all other eye creams so not too thick, not too thin, it also claims to help with dark circles but it hasn't really worked for me in that way and I am one of those people with constant dark circles under my eyes so I wouldn't pick this as my first choice for a cream that is designed for dark circles, however, it does moisturise well, my eyes were flaky dry before and now they are much better and look like how eyes should look!

Strawberry Yogurt Pack - This I got for free because I had bought alot of stuff when I went to Laneige otherwise I don't think I would have bought it. This one comes in a 80ml tub, simliar to the Eye Designer Cream but bigger. The first thing you notice when you open the tub is the smell and the look of it. The consistancy is exactly like how yogurt is, its pink with little red beads in it and also smells alot like strawberry flavoured foods, it made my little sister want to eat it! This is an exfoliant so you don't use it that often, I use mine once every week or so, sometimes once a fortnight, depending on whether I feel like my face needs a good scrub or not. When used, the little red beads burst so when you rub it on, you'll notice that the red beads are gone, it doesn't foam up or anything, it doesn't leave anything visible so you can see where you've applied it but just apply liberally and leave for little bit, rinse off and pat dry with a towel and it leaves me feeling fresh faced again but do be careful around the eye area, avoiding your eyes is best really.

I also have a few free samples from buying so much that time, I can't do too much of a review on these as I don't use them properly but the Water Bank Essence - I can't say I like too much because it feels very sticky even after application. Hydra Solution Essence - This one is actually quite fun for those who can use this, when rubbing into your skin it will create droplets of water so it goes from cream to water droplets which is quite amusing but I can't tell you much about this since I only got a small sample of it.
