L de Lolita Lempicka

L de Lolita Lempicka was launched in 2006 and the fragrance was created by perfumer Maurice Roucel. The bottle was designed by Sylvie de France. From the perfume ad and the aquamarine, pebble heart shaped bottle with the golden net, this perfume reminds me a lot of the deep blue ocean and mermaids. Even though I have an affinity for mermaids, I'm not too fond of aquatic scent, which is why I steer clear from this perfume for years, thinking it as another harsh clean scent.  The only reason why I got this is because of the bottle, it's been discontinued for years and I wanted to get this before it's gone. So imagine my surprise when I first tried it on. Instead of being bombarded with screechy and sharp aquatic scent, I was left with a delicious oriental vanilla scent that conjures images of Christmas baking. I immediately regret not getting a full bottle of this years before it's been discontinued, lol. Top Notes Bitter orange,   Bergamot

MIXSOON Bean Essence Serum

This is my 1st time trying out skincare product with fermented soybean in it and I have high hopes for it since my last experience with Mixsoon has been a great one with the UNA Master Soft Toner, which is my fave milky type toner at the moment 🥰 Thanks to Picky x Mixsoon Mega giveaway, I was luckily picked to be one of the reviewer for Mixsoon Bean Essence Serum. 

𝐌𝐈𝐗𝐒𝐎𝐎𝐍 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐄𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐮𝐦


𝑩𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒇𝒊𝒕 : 

Multi-tasking essence /exfoliator/serum that helps to bring dull skin back to life. 

𝑲𝒆𝒚 𝑰𝒏𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒔 :

  • Fermented Bean Extract 
  • Fermented Barley Extract
  • Fermented Pomegranate Extract
  • Fermented Pear Juice 

𝑺𝒄𝒆𝒏𝒕 :

Fragrance-free

𝑻𝒆𝒙𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 : 

Gooey, mucin-like texture

𝑷𝒂𝒄𝒌𝒂𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒈 :

50ml plastic pump bottle

𝑹𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒆𝒘 :

The texture reminds me of Natto, gooey and stringy, thankfully it doesn't have the same scent 😆 The texture feels lightweight on skin and doesn't feel greasy at all. It also feels very much like a snail mucin product, which I love! It gives adequate hydration to my skin and I've noticed much smoother skin the next day after using it. 

The only downside is it takes a while to get fully absorbed into skin, giving skin a slightly wet look. I also have harder times layering it with other skincare products. I haven't noticed much leftover residue when massaging it into my skin, however it does help in improving my skin texture, thanks to its mild exfoliating effect.
