yep, i bought another travel set from glowincpotion again. i actually wanted to try the hydralive and the forever one, but the seller made a mistake and sent me the maintain one. oh well, might as well try it. anyway, i bought them for traveling purpose, but seeing that the size is too small for my 2 weeks trip, i decided to carry it in my bag to be used on the plane. since i was gone for two weeks, i brought mini size in my luggage and even full size sunscreen stick. but i have long flight, transit once in dubai, so i thought i might needed a mini set during my flight and i'm glad i did that.

the packaging: it comes in soft plastic pouch with zipper to secure all the products inside. on the top right there's the sticker label to indicate the type of set. all travel set comes in similar packaging, greyish tube with color coded label. for maintain, it's light blue. the toner itself comes in short cylindrical tube with screw cap. at front the label indicate no.2 toner, to show the order of use. it only comes in 5 ml which is not enough for two weeks travel, but for long hour flight (which can add to two days), it's still enough.

| what's inside this set |
the scent: if you take a look at the ingredients list, there's no added fragrance in it, so it's scentless. however, i completely forgot how it was when i used it at the airport, but when i tried to finish it at home, somehow it smell bad. like musty. it's still not expired yet, so i don't know what cause it.

| the toner |
the product: it's a watery toner, looks like one and feels like one. i use two or three layers for my whole face and neck. looking at the ingredients, it contains glycerin, hyaluronic acid and several ceramide and cholesterol which is all moisturizing and hydrating ingredients.

the result: however, even though it contains those ingredients, somehow i feel that this toner is not enough. perhaps because i've tried heavier toner that's why this one feels super duper lightweight. it sinks right away and leaves no glow whatsoever to indicate that i've used the toner. that's why there's no after picture because there's no difference. i think the only difference between this one and the acnecore one is the scent. aside from the scent, both toner feels the same.
i doubted that this is enough even for normal skin type as this is super lightweight. however, if you're fond of watery type toner, then you can consider this one. full size one is really affordable. availability, you can get them from their official website and marketplace as well as beautyhaul. as for me, i think i'll skip this one. even though for a temporary use, i think i'll try other type and not this one.
