Introducing... Park View Angel!!!

Hey all!

I've recently had the pleasure of introducing my housemate to the wonders of skin care products.  I'm sure her significant other is probably cussing me out for it but eh! a girl needs a partner to try out all the goodies available here in beautiful San Francisco.  Plus, I'm sure he's just worried about other men noticing this darling Park View Angel.  I've asked her to share her thoughts on this blog so once in a while you'll see Park View Angel:  commenting on products, places and food!

Before I get into all the reviews I'd like to make it known that I've been using these products for about 9 months and I've taken meticulous notes about the effects they had on my skin.  It's very important for me to know what products made my skin break out and what actually helped it.  I don't suggest anyone else doing this unless they have sensitive skin.  Most of these posts will be taken straight from my journal so the next couple of days/weeks will be product review heavy.

Products Reviewed:

Laneige Bright Renew Skin Refiner

Laneige Bright Renew Emulsion

Lioele Hydropeel Therapy Lotion

Lioele Seaweed Multi Gel

Lioele Seaweed Trouble Care Mist

Laneige Bright Renew Skin Refiner

Product Info:

120 ml/ 4.1 fl oz

Skin Type: All skin

Price: $25.00

This skin refiner is supposed to make the skin brighter.  The product itself is clear with a thicker consistency than the Laneige Sensitive Skin Refiner. It's still a little runny so I use a cotton pad to swipe it on my face but sometimes, like when I run out of pads and am too lazy to go get some, I'll pour a dime sized amount into the palms of my hands and pat it all over my face.  

I like this product a lot more than the Sensitive Skin Refiner for a couple of reasons:

• The bottle has lasted me longer than the Sensitive Skin Refiner
• My skin feels more moisturized with this skin refiner than the Sensitive Skin Refine

Luckily, this product has not made me break out in a rash or dried out my skin in any way so I will continue using this until I've finished the bottle.  

Laneige Bright Renew Emulsion

Product Info:

100 ml/ 3.4 fl oz

Skin Types: All skin

Price: $28.00

The Bright Renew Emulsion is an opaque white color liquid with a consistency similar to a very light lotion.  It's a little runnier than a lotion so I use about a nickel sized amount for my whole face and neck.  I like to use gentle upward strokes with the palms of my hand to spread the emulsion on my face and neck and then pat my face.  I really like this emulsion because it absorbs fairly quickly into the skin.

*Tip - Play music while you're doing your skin care routine.  A lot of products asks you to wait a few minutes before you put the next product on your skin and I don't know about you but I don't have a timer set up for it so I tend to wait until a new song starts before moving onto the next product.  

Lioele Hydropeel Therapy Lotion

Product Info:

120ml

price: $31.50 

This intensive moisturizing lotion protects dried skin and is absorbed without oiliness.  By including organic moisturizing ingredients, it gives smooth and elasticity to skin.  Deep sea and Trehalose which contain various minerals present clear skin

Contrary to it's name, this face lotion is not a scrub.  When I first saw the name of the product I was very confused but apparently the lotion is used to help with pimples.  Now, I don't know about the other ladies out there but I will break out about, oh, once a month, like clockwork.  And it's not always a major breakout.  It's normally 3-4 pimples in different areas of my face.  The only difference I've seen while using this product is smaller pimples but hey! it hasn't irritated my skin yet.  Normally, lotions for pimples/acne will work for about a week for me and then my cheeks will get super red and sensitive and my skin will feel itchy but thankfully none of that has happened with this product.  Yet.  I'll continue using this lotion as a morning face lotion since it is very light weight (similar in consistency to the Laneige Emulsion) so I'll need to use something more hydrating at night.

Lioele Seaweed Multi Gel and Lioele Seaweed Trouble Care Mist

Seaweed Gel:

Product Info:

100g

price: $19.20

I originally bought this product in the winter when the weather was extremely dry.  There wasn't much rain in California this year but the weather was still kind of cold.  My skin got extremely painfully dry so I'd slather this on before I went to bed.  I'd wake up the next morning with soft skin but the night before I'd always worry.  The product it a thick gel that feels tacky to the touch.  It doesn't get any better once it's on the face.  I stopped using it after I was halfway done with the jar just because I didn't really like the tacky feeling on my face.  As of now, I'm using it on my legs when my legs get extremely dry.  

Trouble Care Mist:

Product Info:

105ml

price: $16.80

Like original sea bathing therapy.  Lioele Seaweed 90 Trouble Care Mist contains 90% Seaweed water for , soothing trouble, and giving relaxation to skin.  The more you apply this mist, the more moist and soothing effect penetrate into your skin. A 3 in 1 smart choice: Makeup fixer, Skincare booster, and Cooler for skin temperature.

I bought this along with the Seaweed Gel since they were supposed to work together.  I tried carrying it around with me in the winter to mist my face when I felt it needed some moisture but the cap broke in my bag so that didn't work.  I've pretty much left it at work and I'll use it sometimes because working in an office building is not always great for the skin!  When I spray this on my face I feel like I've just sprayed water all over my face.  Needless to say, I will not be buying this product again.

That's it for this post!  Look forward to more reviews on Naruko and Elisha Coy products
