sorry for not updating anything lately. both kids are sick again and i'm feeling down too and finally getting infected by their cold. but i decided to force myself to keep on going. it's hard, but i have to. last night, i have no energy to do anything, but i decided i've been neglecting my skin, so i decided to kick my butt and give myself double masking. first with the clay mask (dual too, the volcanic and the firming one from missha) and then mask sheet (will review it later). and the result is marvelous. i woke up like a zombie (thanks to sleep deprivation) but my skin is glowing. hahaha.. pretty weird. okay, so this morning i decided to open another sample to try. this time is a toner from skinfood. and it's from one of their anti aging line. the other anti aging products that i've tried from skinfood is from their gold caviar line. so i think it's a good thing to try.
this is the description from their website: a premium toner containing visible platinum particles and grape cells that provide intensive firming treatment for aging skin. grape cell story: bourgogne is oneof the three best wine producers in france - bourdeux, bourgogne, and cotes du rhonone - known for the gamay grapes. extracted from the gamay grapes, our grapce cells help regenerate skin cells, firming skin from the inside out. platinum story: platinum is one of the purest and rarest metals in the world. with excellent antioxidant effects, platinum is used for food, medical, cosmetics, and etc.
the packaging: the full size is in a wine bottle look alike with a pump, while the sample only in a square sachet but share a similar design as the full size bottle, which is in purple and platinum color. no english text on the sachet.
the smell: i had stuffy nose so i can't pick any scent, but i think it has very subtle scent that don't linger that long. once it's on your face you can't smell anything. edit: at my last attempt to sniff it i can pick sweet scent, like fruity sweet.. so i think it's their attempt to make it grape-like.
the product: actually, i never encounter any toner that doesn't have viscosity like water, so i'm quite surprised to find out that this one is slightly thicker than water. so no cotton pad needed to apply this one. slightly sticky after application too. but it's absorbed quickly. oh, and some people mentioned that there's this platinum dots just like the gold specks in gold caviar line. since i only have one sachet, i only managed to get the dots 1-2 times. other than that, it's just a clear gel-ish thing i get on my hand.
the result: one sachet can last me up to 4 times usage (note that i use tiny dots every time i use this, because i have combination skin, i'm afraid using too much will make my face greasy). it's moisturizing enough on its own, and with combination with my moisturizer, i will be greaseball if it's very hot and humid.
so, definitely won't purchase the full size. recommended for super dry skin or those who live in winter areas, and of course aging skin. i bet the moisturizing power is quite strong if you use the whole line. but for combination or oily skin you might want to skip it. or if you want to try it, just limit to one product, either the toner or the essence, but not the whole line and mind the amount you use each time.
