- Tested Strawberry Sorbet flavour
- Flavour is authentic tasting, exactly what I think it'd taste like and a natural strawberry flavour
- Very moisturizing, hydrating and healing. I get very cracked lips in fall/winter and it's healed them right up.
- Lightly glossy
- You don't need a large amount of product for it to be effective

-Tested Camisole (04)
- lip plumping (gentle, no pain or stinging)
- no allergies - most red or pink toned makeup contains carmine (severely allergic)
-Made lips lush and full (plumping worked really well)
-easy application - applicator is well designed
-not smudge proof but more like a glossy lipstick vs liquid lip
- Colour looked awesome with my pale skin (probably an awesome universal colour).
- Expensive but would be nice for special occasions.

03 Bronze
- Too dark for my skin tone
- First or second tones (saw them in the box insert) would be more appropriate
- Smooth creamy gel-like formula
- Very blendable, able to use a brush or finger tips
- Possibly dual use, would be pretty to use on lips or eyes for an extra glow.
- Pretty sheer sheen, no glitter chunks in it

Tested it in 01 Bondi Bronze colour
- Am unsure if right colour tone for me seemed it would be better for a medium skin tone.
- Gave me a pretty healthy glow
- Only tried one bronzer before this and this is the only bronzing powder I have tried. The other was a bronzing compact from mid priced level brand.
- Very messy, but formula is soft in texture. Texture was very soft/smelled wonderful.
- Would have prefered if it was a pressed powder in a compact as the powder went all over my shirt at one point. I don't use mineral makeup because of this.
- Large amount in container, was expecting a tiny amount due to the mineral consistency.

Flavour
-Weaker than most English Breakfast teas, I usually find them overly strong tasting.
-less bergamot? Could be bay leaf too. = less bitterness
Packaging
-Triangular tripod tea bag shape
- Simple, yet effective box design
- Easily recognizable colour coded flavours
- Would be easier to find the flavour you like vs spending a lot of time looking through = more convenient

-healed up small scratches and larger scrapes/abrasions (recently had a small fall on the sidewalk)
-made old scars and stretch marks disappear

Super easy to use packaging. I like that it's a tube vs a pump like the serum because you can use all of it and essentially get your money's worth. It cleared up and calmed my textured skin. It's the equivalent of a few of the awesome K-Beauty products I've tried (Laneige) and higher end skincare products (Origins). I honestly think that gels are the best for my skin as it immediately soaked in and hydrated my skin as if I threw on a face mask.
It has a very light plant scent (a little like thyme) and calmed my sensitive skin. Price wise I find that $42 is a little steep but for something that has better ingredients and actually works I'd buy it again. I'd probably use it to calm my redness and specifically on my redness patches. I've found very few products that will actually calm it as it's from my lupus.
I received this product complimentary from ChickAdvisor for my honest review.

Very cute packaging and perfect consistency. It cleared up my textured skin. I have combination skin and most serums tend to feel heavy. This one is very light, very close in texture to a light moisturizer.
It doesn't have a scent to it and didn't cause any reaction with my sensitive skin. Price wise I find that $48 is a little steep but for something that has better ingredients and actually works I'd buy it again. I'd probably use it occasionally to clear up my texture when it pops up versus every day. I do purchase some K-Beauty brands for that purpose already.

It was an okay night cream and came with a scooping stick. Night Creams tend to be very hit or miss with my combination skin; too thin and it drips off my face, too thick and it feels heavy, uncomfortable. This one is the later, for someone with dry skin it'd be fantastic but my skin tend more towards oily in the summer, I'll be using this on my flaky skin in the winter.
If you're sensitive to scents, it has an extremely light scent and it didn't cause any reaction with my sensitive skin. Price wise I find that $48 is a little steep for a night cream. I have tried more expensive brands but I tend to wait til the mini packs go on sale.
I had issues trying to figure out what everything was and when to use it (under makeup or at night). There's a major language barrier issue, I like Korean/K-Beauty and usually they're good about explaining on the actual packaging how to use it but I had a name of Cica Cream and that's it to go on. I feel sorry for anyone who threw away the packaging.
