REASON
I've been wanting to try belif products and this is a favorite of one of my favorite youtubers Gothamista. She demo'd it in one of her videos (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49WaSQGdP7w) and it looks fun and interesting and I was just really drawn to the product.

Blithe Crystal Iceplant Pressed Serum
Size: 50 ml
A serum and moisturizer combined in a 'pressed serum' format, this lightweight, gel cream texture that deeply hydrates without heaviness is formulated with 63% Iceplant extract which provides a cooling hydration without oiliness. Iceplant cells work as a ‘moisture magnet’ in order to survive the brutal Sahara climate, and is known for its calming and cooling properties.

Ice Plant extract effectively stores nutrients, moisture, and water to keep skin feeling soothed and to minimize the appearance of pores. The Blithe Crystal Iceplant Pressed Serum is formulated with a blend of fermented oils including olive and argan oils, providing your skin with lasting hydration while protecting skin against harsh climates and pollution. This easy-to-use serum and moisturizer in one treats, nourishes and brightens skin without heaviness. 

WHAT IS A PRESSED SERUM?
Pressed serums are a huge new multi-tasking trend in Korea. It’s a serum + moisturizer hybrid, combining the concentration of a serum with the comforting hydration of a moisturizer. Blithe’s chemists use what is called ‘slow cooling’ over 36 hours, instead of flash heating, to preserve ingredient efficacy during processing. This is key to the formulation as ingredients in each formula are in concentrations of 60%+.

Pressed serums also utilize a blend of fermented natural oils with high skin affinity to leave skin comfortably hydrated without heaviness – fermentation helps to micronize ingredients and are especially great way to formulate oils that absorb quickly.
HOW TO USE
Use a pea sized amount of this treatment all over the face and neck after cleansing and toning. A serum can be used before this pressed serum if an extra boost is needed.

The key to pressed serums are versatility. You can use it after cleansing and toning to replace the serum and moisturizer step. If you feel your skin needs an extra boost, layering an ampoule or serum before the pressed serum is also an option. You can also scoop a little more formula than usual onto the finger tips and gently press all over the face as a sleeping mask.

Isshin Do Honpo Sheet Masks
REASON
These are super expensive sheet masks. Depending on which design and where you get it from the price can greatly differ. I think the cheapest I've seen them for is like twenty something dollars, but I've also seen them as high as forty something dollars too, which is a crazy amount of money for a sheet mask considering it's not made a gold; but they look like so much fun to put on...btw there are a bunch more designs than those pictured above.

I doubt I will be spending that much money on a sheet mask, so don't expect to see it on my blog anytime soon...but perhaps one day.

Peter Thomas Roth 24K Gold Pure Luxury Lift & Firm Prism Cream
A luxurious cream with 24 karat gold and intelligent shade-sensing sphere technology to enhance luminosity and boost radiance, and colloidal gold to visibly lift and firm. 

Optical diffusers have a prismatic effect that instantly scatter light, which helps diminish the appearance of skin imperfections to create a flawless, lit-from within glow. Three shade-sensing spheres are combined to provide a full spectrum of radiance and are self-adjusting to complement every skintone. Advanced hydrators restore skin health by preventing natural water loss and provide immediate and long-term hydration for a fresh, dewy look and feel. Skin is left with a soft, natural-looking glow. Pure 24 karat gold imparts an opulent, radiant glow—locking in moisture and keeping skin firm by maintaining natural collagen in the skin—while colloidal gold helps visibly lift, firm, and restore lost elasticity.

HOW TO USE
May be used all over face, alone, under makeup, or over makeup as a targeted highlighter or all-over illuminator.

To highlight face, apply desired amount to finger tips and blend into cheek bones, brow bones, bridge of the nose, and temples.

INGREDIENTS
Pure 24 Karat Gold: Imparts an opulent, radiant glow; locks in moisture and keeps skin firm by maintaining collagen in the skin and inhibiting the breakdown of elastin.
Colloidal Gold: Helps visibly lift, firm, and restore lost elasticity.
Intelligent Shade-sensing Sphere Technology: Each of the three correctors work differently by self-adjusting to help subtly correct imperfections, counteract dullness, and brighten skintone, leaving skin with an immediate illuminating effect.

Primary Raw DoYou Azulene Calming Water Spray
Primary Raw’s DoYou Azulene Calming Water Spray is a waterless mist formulated with bamboo sap and azulene, a compound distilled from steamed chamomile flowers. Bamboo sap and azulene work in harmony to calm, replenish, and brighten even the most sensitive skin.

The refreshing spray is waterless, yet effectively hydrates skin with a raw bamboo sap which mimics skin’s natural moisturizing properties; that same bamboo sap is what allows the plant to retain water and grow up to 23 inches in one day. Azulene, black bean extract, and soy bean extract create a protective moisture barrier that locks in profound and lasting hydration. Skin is cooled down and relieved for a natural and clear complexion.

Waterless skincare products are trending in Korea for their ability to deeply hydrate without added water. Excess water in products actually dilutes the concentration of natural ingredients, rendering their effects useless. Primary Raw’s DoYou Azulene Calming Water Spray helps skin retain moisture with bamboo sap. Black bean and witch hazel extracts brighten skin while azulene and soy bean extract soothe, cool, and calm skin.

HOW TO USE
Spray water onto face immediately after cleansing for instant hydration and nourishment. Pat gently into skin. Use as a toner after cleansing, or spray during the day for a pick-me-up.

REASON
I'm really drawn to the whole Primary Raw line and I want to try the entire line out, but especially the Azulene products and the Bio Lumpoule listed below. Not gonna lie...the sleek packaging does play a big part, but the products themselves sound amazing too. It is pricey though so I'm gonna have to wait for Black Friday sales or something because I want to try the entire line together...but if I can find a good deal on the individual Azulene products I may just purchase it on it's own to try out first. Ditto on the Bio Lumpoule which is the #1 product I want to try the most from Primary Raw.

Time Bomb Complexion Cocktail with a shot of Chlorophyll
Size: 100ml
Toxins produced both externally in the environment and internally by your body’s own responses to life’s challenges and pressures can wreak havoc on your skin. The effect on skin can be a decreased ability to deal with bacteria (resulting in breakout’s, clogged pores) and/or dry patches because skin’s essential DNA and self-moisturizing mechanics have been damaged.

A detoxifying powerhouse, Complexion Cocktail with a shot of Chlorophyll gives skin an instant reprieve from the constant onslaught of free radicals, inside and out. Formulated to reduce the effects of toxins that contribute to premature aging, This concentrated cocktail blends multiple, potent anti-oxidants known to target and neutralize different types of free radicals. Chlorophyll is a known scavenger/chelator of toxins and can help counter the effects of sun damage. Red Clover, a natural source of bio-anti-oxidants, helps counteract the effects of environmental pollutants. A wheat-based botanical extract, rich in peptides with anti-oxidant properties, targets internally generated free radicals.
