Haul by Elizavecca | R E V I E W

Hey everyone! I'm sorry for being MIA but life has been so much busier so i don't have time even for myself. but i had to manage so time for my skin which has become so dull due to extra stress so i treated myself with some amazing skin treats by one of my most fav korean skincare brand #Elizavecca <3

Elizavecca is a korean skincare brand which deals with different skincare products which are very mild & beneficial for skin, im sure you must have heard about their bubble clay mask which took the whole internet as a storm! yes right, that products is from Elizavecca!

back in december, they sent some of their skincare products for review purpose. i properly tested them for 2 months & today i'm here with an honest review for ya;all.

So, lets begin!

So, these were the products that were sent to me for review!
1. Elizavecca milky piggy hell pore bubble black boom charcoal pore pack
2. Elizavecca Milky piggy hell-pore perfect wine sparkling pad along with a elizavecca tweezer!
3. Elizavecca Milky pigggy hell-pore cleanup AHA fruit toner
4. Elizavecca Milky piggy Hyaluronic Acid 100%
5. Elizavecca Red Ginseng Deep power ringer Mask Pack
6. Elizavecca Honey Deep Power Ringer Mask Pack


1. Elizavecca Milky Piggy Hell Pore Bubble Black Boom Charcoal Pore Pack

okay so let me introduce you with my most fav product from elizavecca!
Its all in one pack which works 2 way!

Packaging:

i really like the packaging. elizavecca had me at packaging. thier packaging says it all about their products. if you look at this pack it comes in a cute & fun filled packaging which has devil piggy at one side and angel piggy at another lol & which opens like a card box. inside the box it has cute sticker. inside the box it has a large tube filled with the product which has a sturdy packaging as well with a large and cute cap.

due to the many other brands copying elizavecca products and making fake products elizavecca made sure that their products remain unique they provided a foil and scraping the foil original checking number shows which prooves the originality of the product. I appreciate their efforts for customers! kudos!

Texture:

Its a black charcoal mask which has a thick and slightly gloopy texture. the charcoal in the pack is very finely milled so you can actually feel the nice little particles on your face. it spreads evenly and dries instantly.

My Verdict
I really love this one! why? becuase it makes skin squeeky clean. it absorbs all the oil from the skin and then you apply water to make a grey foam and massage it on your face it will deep clean your pores then rinse off with cold water. i observed that it made my skin a little dry afterwards but pores were reduced in size.

Rating: 5/5

2. Elizavecca Milky Piggy Hell-pore Perfect Wine Sparkling Peeling Pads

Packaging:

I really like its cute packaging. it comes in a big maroon cardbox and has a 3d like piggy pointing out of the box. trust me when i say that i love the packaging because when you open it, you can see a cute piggy sticker inside too. 

It has a big glass jar that i really love. It has 30 peeling pads inside it filled with red wine serum. pads are soaked with it.

Texture:

It is a very soft cotton discs to exfoliate, illuminate & moisturize the skin. These are two pattern pads.

Flat pad side: effectively exfoliate
Embossed pad side: dullness & uneven skintone care. 

My Verdict:

Regular use of these pads will smooth the skin’s texture, providing a smooth canvas for flawless makeup application.  These “peeling” pads and the serum are supposed to help “peel” or remove dead skin cells. After use you will visually see these dead skin cells on the pad and it is a eye opener! 
The pure cotton pad is without fluorescent substance so it is safe to use every day. The pad also has a softer side and a more ridged side, figure out what works best for you accordingly. Soft is my preferred mode but if you want more of a finished polish as the last step then use the embossed side of pad to finish up. After application my skin does not feel as sticky as I thought it would. Skin feels soft and very full of moisture.  I did however ready that after using this product it is a great time to apply makeup since your skin is very shiny and primed but I did not try that.The wine extract contains 5000 ppm. What does that mean? That means this product is chock full of polyphenols that not only moisturize skin but it also leaves it glossy and looking healthy. This means skin is cleansed and pores are contracted. Which is what we all want right?

This also came with a pair of Elizavecca tweezers that are really handy for removing the pads prior to use. I like this since I don’t have to dig around in the jar with my grubby hands lol! Can you see how sharp it is? a bit scary lol but very useful.

3. Elizavecca Milky Piggy Hell-pore Cleanup AHA Fruit Toner

Packaging:

The toner comes in this cute box with the drawing of a woman and a pig cleaning her pores, when you open the box you can see the toner comes well placed and secured (so it doesn't break or open). To ensure it's a real Elizavecca item, please check if the box has the 'Elizavecca original' sticker. It also has a QR code. i really like this drawing specially the woman's eyelashes lol :P
The bottle is big enough and packaging of the bottle is very sturdy. 

The packaging is pretty cute and the decoration above the girl's brows, the name of the product, the pig and the dirt/blackeads have a shiny finish, I like to touch it lol

The bottle has a sticker with the same drawing as the box and everything is in Korean, if you look at the bottom of the bottle, you can see the date of manufacturation and the expiration date. 

When I first opened the bottle, the first thing I did was smell the product, the scent is very strong it smells like grapefruit.  

Can i again brag about elizavecca's cute packaging? Man! their packaging is just amazing. when you open the box and look inside, you can see that cute little monster with one eye watching out of the box. its really fun to use their products

Texture:

Its texture is fluidy and runny not like a water but also not like a gel. but when you apply it on the face it feels a bit sticky and tacky so i gently pat it on my face after applying. 

My Verdict:

It's a multi-purpose toner, that does everything from clearing away deep-seated impurities, toning the skin, and gently sloughing off dead skin cells from your skin's surface! Elizavecca's purifying Hell Pore Clean Up AHA Fruit Toner contains premium fruit extracts, and both BHA and AHA to thoroughly cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate the skin! As dry, old skin is swiped away, your skin is refreshed and rejuvenated as a result of improved cell-renewal. Healthy, conditioned skin is the key to any flawless to look beautiful.  

 I prefer to use it at nights and 2 times per week, since my skin is sensitive and could end up irritated. if I used that toner everyday, my skin would break out. That's why I am using this toner two times per week, also, this is an exfoliator, and I think that using it everyday could be dangerous! Oh, talking about skin break outs, I've not had any break outs using this product.

I really like it, I feel my skin more hydrated and soft. I haven't seen a huge changes about my pores but maybe is because I've been using it 2 times per week, but I hope it's going to be effective as well. It doesn't dry my skin like other products. So far I'm loving Elizavecca's products!

4. Elizavecca Milky Piggy Hylauronic Acid 100%

Packaging:

How pretty the packaging is! Gosh! If you are a sucker for shiny glittery things like i am then you will be temporary distracted by this gorgeous packaging!

Its a beautiful grey sparkling box which dazzles and shows a rainbow effect and a big drop is made on it which when you open the box is opened and a very huge glass bottle comes out. This is a very huge bottle and the packaging is very sturdy and classy like high end products! when you open the cap of the bottle, it has a little plug for making it more hygienic. 

Texture:

The consistency of the serum is watery, which makes it perfect to use right after your first essence, but before a thicker serum or night cream. but its not more watery a bit very lil bit tacky but when you apply it on your skin it kinda melts right there in your skin and gel like consistency gets disappeared and absorbs after few seconds. 

My Verdict:

Elizavecca’s Milky Piggy Hyaluronic Acid 100% Serum is designed to improve dull, dry and dehydrated skin with the help of wonder beauty ingredient Hyaluronic Acid.

Hyaluronic Acid does incredible things to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and this serum is no different. In boosting the skin’s moisture content and preventing further moisture loss, it helps plump the skin to keep it at its peak level of hydration. This helps skin look firmer, smoother and more elastic.

Hyaluronic Acid also eliminates skin imperfections and reduces inflammation to soften, smooth and protect.

How to use:

1. After cleansing and toning, take several drops of this serum into your hands

2. Rub lightly into your skin and pat gently to aid absorption.

For best results, use this serum night and day for several weeks.

5. Elizavecca Red Ginseng Deep Power Ringer Mask Pack

This mask s to whiten, improve wrinkles, and make skin "shiny" (which I assume to mean hydration). Luckily I don't really have any wrinkles to improve.

One of the first things I noticed about this mask once opened was the strong fragrance. It has a very intense, medicinal herb sort of smell. Unfortunately, I'm not a big fan of this smell and I found it super distracting - it definitely lessened my enjoyment of this particular mask. The mask material itself was very soft and clingy, which I liked. The mask was super saturated with essence too - as soon as I put it on, it began to drip down my neck.

I kept it on for about 25 minutes and my skin definitely looked as it usually did after masking - soft, hydrated, and with a bit of surface redness evened out. overall i like this one.

Rating: 4/5

6. Elizavecca Honey Deep Power Ringer Mask Pack

The sheet is evenly soaked with the essence. In the pack, there is a decent amount of essence left over to put on your neck and arms. 

The sheet itself is a good in-between of thick and thin. Not too thick that it won't stay on the face and not too thin where it'll dry up quickly. It is a bit wider so I had to adjust the sheet a bit on my face since my face is small. 

I felt ulta moisture and smoothness in my skin but nothing else. 

Rating: 3.5/5

That's it for today! hope you like my review.

Skincare products by Physiogel | R E V I E W

have you ever hated winters? because i do sometimes. although its my most favourite season of the year but sometimes it makes me really cranky and depressed because of the effects it leaves on my skin. My skin is extremely sensitive and acne prone and winters sometimes make my skin super dehydrated and dull. My skin becomes extremely dry with patches on different parts of my skin. The foundation sticks to the dry patches which is any girls worse nightmare. 
This winter my skin was blessed with a game changing skincare brand PHYSIOGEL. 

yes! physiogel is the most prescribed skincare brand by the dermatologists because of its mild effects & now they have launched hypoallergic line for dry, very dry & sensitive skin, absolutely what i wanted. 
i used 3 of their products, let me share with ya'all one by one. 

Physiogel Calming Relief A. I. Restoring Lipid Balm

This product is for very dry skin. PHYSIOGEL has other variants which are not for very dry skin too.

It has changed my skin game all together. I use it after every time I wash my face or do wuzu, before applying makeup and before going to bed. It’s an ‘All-in-one’ skin care product for me and I have never been happier.

The consistency is so light weight and I don’t feel anything on my face after applying it. It has Biomimic technology which imitates one’s own skin texture to produce moisture. It is hypoallergenic which means any skin type can use it and it will not cause any allergic reactions. This is great for me as every other product causes allergic reaction on my face as I have extremely sensitive skin. It’s great for eczema and there is also a body lotion in the Calming Relief range.

The price tag is also very reasonable considering the benefits it has and that too for a huge tube of 200ml.
It retails for Rs 1650 in Pakistan and should be available at all good pharmacies.

Physiogel Calming Relief A. I. Body Lotion

Hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, physiogel calming relief A. I. body lotion is formulated specially to calm and relieve dry, irritated and sensitive skin which is perfect for very sensitive skin like mine. It is clinically proven to strengthen and repair the skin's moisture barrier. 

instructions are simple, just apply twice a day freely whenever needed. The light texture of this lotion meant that product is quickly absorbed, leaving an almost non-oily residues on the skin surface. A small 50c amount of lotion also goes a long way, with me focusing a little more on drier areas like my elbows or knees. 

i've been using this lotion for like 2 weeks and so far my skin is receptive to it and feeling supple. 

This lotion is my most favourite. 

Physiogel Calming Relief A. I. Cream

Calming relief body lotion & cream both are virtually identical, with the cream being a bit heavier and catering for those with dryer skin.This cream is basically for very dry & reactive skin. It doesn't suffocate the skin. This cream absorbs just as fast as the lotion but it can but can feel heavy on the skin in hot weather. its unscented, non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic and PH balanced.

It actually keeps the skin soft and hydrated for many hours. 

Seriously, I have nothing bad to say about this range. Doesn’t break me out? Check. Doesn’t irritate my skin? Check. Relieves itchiness? Check. Yup, I am drawing a blank here. Not only are these products incredibly affordable, a little goes a long way, and they last for some time.

That's it for today!

hope you liked it.
