Tatcha The Water Cream Review

August 3, 2017 / FASHION & BEAUTY / 0 comments

Hi there skincare junkies! The Tatcha Water Cream (1.7 oz for $68) is one of those perfect moisturizers that screams drenching raindrops, misty summers and cooling sea breeze. Ever since this anti-aging and oil-free cream came out, I knew I couldn’t let this pass me by. The packaging is really one of a kind and it’s simply breathtakingly gorgeous.

If it’s pretty on the outside, it’s even more beautiful on the inside. This cream has a complex, interesting, and irresistible scent. It’s kind of a light floral, sweet, and citrusy-green tea, which reminds me a lot of a tart Soursop. It’s so good, it’s hard not to keep sniffing. On the other hand, this Water Cream is lightweight and my skin absorbs it easily. This has a bit of a cooling effect and thus feels quite refreshing. While it feels like a luxurious creamy water, this moisturizer doesn’t need to be applied a lot in order for it to work. Just a scoop of the cute (provided) spatula will give enough hydration to the face.

In my experience, this Tatcha The Water Cream is truly hydrating and very balancing on my oily-prone skin. I felt a plumping effect and my skin didn’t breakout at all. It also tightened my pores and it’s a great moisturizer under any makeup. In addition to that, I think this cream is also great if you have any dry patches on the face or even if you have a normal to sensitive skin type.

This cream is so great as a daily moisturizer and it deserves to be on the front row of your shelves. I believe this is a great all around cream for everyone and it feels really luxurious that you would want to layer this all over your face any chance you’d get. It’s like you’ve been drenched from an early morning misty rain, it’s so good and so refreshing. Like having a spa at home.

Overall, this Tatcha Water Cream is truly magical and unique. I couldn’t say anything negative about this cream, it’s perfect, and that packaging, oh my, Tatcha always has the prettiest skincare packaging I’ve ever seen. So, if you’re looking for a reliable, all-rounder, irresistibly-scented, non-irritating, and luxe cream with a gorgeous packaging, well, you know what to buy next.

Tatcha The Water Cream is available at Barneys NY, QVC, & Sephora

Happy Thursday!

Tatcha Violet-C Radiance Mask Review

July 3, 2017 / FASHION & BEAUTY / 1 Comment

Hello There, let’s start this week with a bang! this is gonna be an exciting week, plus it’s 4th of July tomorrow, what’s your plan? but before that, Tatcha recently released its highly anticipated anti-aging mask, the Violet-C Radiance Mask (1.7 oz: $68) and I’ve got some exciting photos for ya.

The Violet-C Radiance Mask by Tatcha is a violet-colored mask that smells slightly clayish and sweet. It has Japanese beautyberry, two types of Vitamin C and AHAS from seven fruits, green tea, rice and some other anti-aging ingredients. This mask is extremely creamy, soothing and hydrating. It also rinses off easily and it makes the face smooth and soft.

It stays creamy and thick throughout the application and it doesn’t dry or solidify like some other masks. What this does is to provide extreme hydration to the face while loading it with antioxidants and anti-aging properties for that smooth and youthful glow. It’s practically great for any skin type because it doesn’t really irritate the skin, and I find that this works great for my redness as it seems to neutralize it and it improves my skin’s texture.

There is no stinging sensation with this Japanese-made Mask, because it doesn’t have any harsh ingredients, although it might make you look like a purple Smurf, but it’s alright because this washes off easily and your skin will feel totally soft. It makes it easier to squeeze the blackheads out. Ha!. On the other hand, I love the packaging. As always, Tatcha wows us with their gorgeous and luxurious packaging. The mask even comes with a golden spatula and a nice sleek box with a Japanese flair to it.

This Mask can be used 2-3 times a week and you can leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes, then you can rinse it off with warm water and voila! This mask is packed with ingredients that our skin needs, especially after any stress or exposure to harsh environment. The added two types of Vitamin C are a huge benefit and a necessity as part of any skincare, so I’m definitely gonna be using this long term.

Have you tried this?

The Tatcha Violet-C Radiance Mask is available at Sephora and QVC

Happy Monday!

Tatcha Bestsellers Set Review

May 1, 2017 / FASHION & BEAUTY / 0 comments

Why Hello There! If you’re looking for the perfect skincare set this Mother’s Day or in any other occasion, I truly recommend this limited edition Tatcha Bestsellers Set. All the products contained in this set are absolutely perfect and are also very useful for traveling.

Tatcha is an American luxury brand that promotes Geisha (Japanese) inspired beauty rituals or beauty products. This is my first time trying out Tatcha’s skin care and my first impressions are very positive. The products are generally mild and innovative. The scents are not overpowering and my skin seems to like their products quite well. Additionally, it has a whole k-beauty feel and quality to it and pretty much neck in neck with Sulwhasoo or SK II. Also, their pricing varies a lot depending on the size of the product. Some are pretty much affordable, while some can be just really pricey. It’s always good to try some starter sizes to see if the product works for you.

Let’s take a look at what’s inside their Bestsellers Set:

Pure One Step Camillia Cleansing Oil (0.8 oz: $15, 5.1 oz $48) – This is a mild makeup remover and facial cleanser at the same time. It’s basically a lightweight camellia oil that totally removes all traces of makeup. Then you add some water to create a foam and it cleanses your face just like a normal facial cleanser would do. It’s basically like double cleansing but with just one product. For me, I really enjoy using this. It saves time and effort on my skin care routine and it’s mild for daily use. Love the pump of the glass container as well.

Polished Classic Rice Enzyme Powder (0.35 oz: $15, 2.1 oz $65) – This product is nothing like I’ve seen before. It’s almost magical. It comes off as a plain white powder that you put on your palm and as soon as you add a few drops of water on it, it becomes a foamy scrub that smells and feels like little bits of rice or rice water. It exfoliates the face mildly and it doesn’t irritate. The result is a smooth skin without the harshness of most facial scrubs. Love it.

Supple Moisture Rich Silk Cream (1.7 oz: $120) – This is a gel-like cream that feels like silk and is also non-irritating on the skin. It’s ideal for combo to dry skin, but I think it’s also very perfect for oily skin due to its gel consistency. In fact, this is very similar to Belif The True Cream Aqua Bomb, both in scent and texture. It’s almost hard to tell the difference between the two. This silk cream is an ideal moisturizer base right before any makeup product and it feels very lightweight. Wish it had Spf though.

Luminous Dewy Skin Mist (1.35 oz: $48) – Probably the best face mist in the market to use during dry or winter season. It’s slightly oily so it’s ideal when you need maximum hydration on the face, like when you’re traveling or during the cold months. It may be too much for the summer as the effect of this face mist could make you look very dewy. The pump feels robust and it releases very fine mists. Also, the scent is divine.

Verdict: Tatcha makes award-worthy products and they’re really fun to use with. Every application of each product is an experience that is worth your time and has a very relaxing feel to it. Their Bestsellers Set is really worth it as each product delivers and their sizes are very versatile. The Luminous Dewy Skin Mist is definitely a holy grail for me, and I could see the Camellia Cleansing Oil and Rice Enzyme Powder as now part of my daily skin care routine for a very long time.

This Tatcha Bestsellers Set is available exclusively at: Sephora.com
