skinfood watery berry emulsion

i really really have to take a look at my sample stash very often since i tend to forget what i have in my stash. so forgetful.. and i found another emulsion sample in my stash! hahaha.. suddenly i want to try it ASAP. but unfortunately, this time i only have one sachet in my hand..

the description from their website: a dewy moisture emulsion that promotes soft, glowing skin with berry extracts and hyaluronic acid. now, since i've been reading a lot of other bloggers' review, i know that hyaluronic acid is a moisturizing agent. but i'm confused though.. i think it promises a dewy result, but i read there's dimethicone in the ingredients along with silica, which both are usually to control sebum and reduce pore appearance, so i'm quite confuse.. will it give a matte or dewy result?

the packaging: the full size version is a glass bottle with a metallic screw top cap. ugh.. another glass bottle.. i don't think i want another glass bottle in my skincare stash.. with two kids roaming around, i don't think glass is a good idea. mostly the glass is colored milky white due to the emulsion color, so the sample sachet is also white and red, with the same design as the full version one. no english text.

the smell: well, with the "berry" stamped to the name of this product, i hope i can smell some kind of berry scent.. but i'm not sure it's a berry scent. i don't think it's strawberry or raspberry and i don't know how blueberry and blackberry should smell like, so i can only say it smells fragrant and nice, not too overwhelming, but not so berry like (unlike my body shop strawberry body butter).

the product: it's a milky white lotion, a little bit on the runny side. it glides easily on my skin, and absorbed easily too. it doesn't leave sticky feeling.

the result: a sachet can last for 3 times usage. but it's not enough to judge the potency of this emulsion. it's fresh and refreshing, but i don't think it's moisturizing enough. when i tried the missha emulsion, at first it's not enough, but it's been so hot lately that i don't need to put my cream on top of this emulsion. but i have a feeling that this emulsion won't be enough for dry skin, those who live in winter areas, and aging skin. for super duper oily skin or live in hot and humid area, this will work for you, or probably for teenager..

so, i don't think i'll purchase the full version.. being in a glass bottle and not moisturizing enough, i will pass this one. but if you like light moisturizer with so-called berry scent, then buy it. perhaps it will suitable for you.
