The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Light Oil and Cleansing Foam review

So I went and buy a bunch of korean cosmetics today (cuz they are really cheap here in Vietnam) I will be reviewing them in a few days! I think I might have an obsession with cosmetics LOL 

The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Light Oil and Cleansing Foam will be up for review

Price: I got the Light Oil for around 10.5 AUD and the Cleansing Foam for 8.5 AUD. Well it's quite steep since it's by TFS

Packaging: 
Cleansing foam


 Light Oil

First Impressions:

Light Oil: 
Texture: It is a very light oil, like the name, almost like water but more oily

During use, one pump of oil and a bit of rubbing
After rinsing with lukewarm water
Well the pictures speak a thousand words! The oil works really well at cleansing the make up, one of the swatches wear CLIO Lipnicure and the oil removes it completely.

It feels really nice on my face as it is not so oily like putting a tons of butter on my face lol, really like the feeling of the oil! Also after rinsing my face was left soft as a baby's butt :3 

Pros:
- smells pleasant
- light oil texture
- does it job well
- leaves skin soft

Cons:
- can be messy to use
- quite pricey for TFS

Rating: 3.8/5 (minus for the price LOL)
After that I washed my face with The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Foam 

Texture
Pretty much like any other cleansing foam

How I Used it: I lathered up the foam with my hands and then massage my face with the foam, weeee! 
After rinsing, my face feels so CLEANNN! (YAY) The good thing is, it doesn't make my face feel too dry and squeaky clean. I was looking for something that is not too drying because it's winter here.

Pros:
- smells like heaven! (not too fragrant but very pleasant)
- works well
- leaves skin moist

Cons:
-haven't found one yet LOL

Rating: 4/5

Would I buy these two again? YES!

First review!! Givenchy Le Rouge 202 Rose Dressing

Hiii, so after like a year-ish that I made this blog now will be the moment that I finally write my very first review! Ten ten ten ten.......Drumroll~~~~
And our first product would be:
Givenchy Le Rouge in 202 Rose Dressing
I got this for 29 AUD in Duty Free (which was a bargain, because the normal price is 42 AUD). Just thought that the colour was really lovely and it just compliments my skintone so much! XD

Indoor light & With Flash: Rose Dressing is the second from left to right

Gotta say I really love the look of it! Really elegant packaging with a real leather cover case.. (that what it says on the cover ) However, there is a pungent leather smell to it which I do not like...

The Texture:

It is a natural pink colour which dries to a semi-matte finish, Though matte, it is not drying at all, it feels light and hydrating on my lips. One coat is enough for the colour to pay off. 

Lasting power:

I would say the lasting power is not a-1-application-all-day lipstick as when I'm drinking or eating the colour would come off pretty easily (& not to mention I get stained when I accidentally hit my arm against my lips lol). However, it leaves a even and natural stain, it does not leave just the inside part of your lips uncoloured (how disgusting that looks, you know what I mean?) If you do not drink or eat much this lipstick will be great for you
I would recommend this for a everyday look :)

YAY

- packaging: elegant , expensive-looking (well it is LOL)
- colour is true, what you see is what you get
- hydrating
- pretty semi-matte finish
- lovely colour

NAY

- the smell of leather
- doesn't last very long when eating/drinking is involved

Rate: 4/5

Would I purchase lipstick from this line again? DEFINITELY!
