Kohvee Story, Coffee Skincare Products - Review

Another skincare products to share with you.. Yup, I'm a skincare addict if you wanna ask. I have more skincare than makeup products I think. Anyway, I just knew this brand a while ago on instagram and Bali Beauty Blogger with Kohvee Story kindly sent me these products to try. They're all made from COFFEE, uh yeah, I love coffee especially the scent is so relaxing.


Kohvee Story is a collection of coffee based skin care products, made in Bali and established in December 2016. All Kohvee Story products contain coffee extract from local coffee, and carefully produced to create high quality skin care products with coffee benefits and smell like freshly brewed coffee.



Coffee is good for us if we drink in the right amount, and coffee is good for our skin too. It has antioxidant, anti inflamantory, works as detoxifier and last but not least, it has heavenly aroma.

They have 7 products: cleansing oil, serum, moisturizer, sun cream, scrub, deo spray and lip balm. I will review 5 of them.


COFFEE CLEANSING OIL




Packaging
The packaging comes in a pump plastic bottle. It's not too big, convenient to use or traveling. I love the wood detail on the bottle's neck, it makes this cleansing oil look elegant.


Color, Texture, Scent
It's has typical oil color and texture, yellow and thick consistency like vegetable oil. This is the least Kohvee Story's product that smells like coffee. I can still smell the coffee scent but not as strong as others. 

Review
This is a very good product to clean makeup. It's natural and doesn't break out my skin. It also doesn't dry out my skin after washing but not making it too oily either, I like the finish result. For waterproof makeup like eyeliner, etc and matte lipstick, it takes more time to clean. I rub my skin a few times and let the makeup melts a bit then wash it off. 


YUANYANG SKIN SERUM



Packaging
The packaging comes in small glass bottle, easy to carry. I only wish that they will provide pipette cap in the future to make it easier and more convenient to use.


Color, Texture, Scent
The color is so dark and black with some oil shown. It's runny yet oily but it spreads and drops easily, I need to mix it when using between the coffee and oil because they get separated of the different consistency. It has strong coffee scent with some oil scent because it contains sweet almond, olive and jojoba oil. As using it, I can smell the coffee scent until the next morning.

Review
It's a serum but more like oil for me because the finish after using it is really oily, it needs quiet a long time until it's fully absorbed. However, because of the dark color, it makes me look tan after using it. I don't think I will use it for day time, it's for night time only and don't forget to wash the next day. This is my least favorite because the scent lingers too long until the next day and it makes my skin so tanned, LOL. I like the result on the next morning though, it makes my skin plump and moist.


COFFEE SKIN MOISTURIZER



Packaging
The packaging comes in a transparent plastic tube with flipcap, easy to use and light.


Color, Texture, Scent
At first, it looks weird because the color is dark brown. I've never used dark brown colored moisturizer before, LOL. The color comes from coffee, of course. The texture is creamy and easy to blend IF not putting it too much at a time. It smells like sweet coffee but there's also another scent because of the shea butter. The coffee scent lingers until the next morning, especially if I put the serum under, wow it's so coffee.

Review
This moisturizer is quiet good, just don't put too much or it will make white cast or too tan like the photo above. A little goes a long way, I only need a pea size for my whole face. If I don't put too much, it's quiet easy to absorb and makes my skin moist. 



LATTE SUN CREAM SPF 25



Packaging
The packaging comes in a transparent plastic tube with flipcap, easy to use and light.

Color, Texture, Scent
It really reminds me of latte, coffee with milk. It's more into milk because the color is white, but it still has some coffee (brown) color cast sometimes. It has thick texture like typical sunblock. The coffee scent is more calming, maybe because it's latte so it's not as strong as the others but I can smell the coffee. So yummy. The scent easily disappears a few minutes after using.


Review
I didn't like it at first because it's thick and a bit sticky, hard to spread (compared to my usual sunblock). I was afraid that it'd left white cast but turns out it's not. I love it now because after a while, even though the first application is a bit thick, it absorbs quiet fast and leaving my skin silky smooth. I don't need to use powder anymore and it doesn't make my skin oily. Perfect for daily use.


KOPI TUBRUK FACE SCRUB



Packaging
The packaging comes in a plastic tube, same like the latte and moisturizer.


Color, Texture, Scent
The color is dark brown, it's gel with some granules from the coffee seeds. It smells so yummy! My favorite scent between other products. Not a strong one but more like natural yummy coffee, I bet because of the coffee seeds. The granules work as scrub and it's a bit hard so gentle motion is needed when using the scrub. 

Review
This is my favorite product among the others because I love scrub, it's a must have product in my bathroom and I regularly scrub my face 2-3 times a week. I really enjoy using it, while massaging the scrub to my skin with circular motion, I can smell the yummy coffee scent. Uh, love. The result is really great, I have super smooth and moist skin after.



OVERALL

Overall my favorite is the scrub and cleansing oil, they work great for double cleansing. The coffee scent and ingredient are what make these products unique. Coffee has antioxidant properties that's good for the skin and these are great for people who love coffee and want natural skincare products.

Review: IOPE Air Cushion Sunblock EX No.22 Ice Shimmer Beige

IOPE is a brand from Amore Pacific. The medium high collection similar with Laneige and Mamonde. The skin care range is more for older people, while Laneige and Mamonde are for younger people. This is my first IOPE. It is really best selling, sold 1 every 30 seconds in the world. I also heard that it is featured in many magazines, got award, etc... I am curious with this air cushion thing. and it is really good to know there is a compact sunblock with high SPF (it's 50!!). Since it is superrrr hot here in Bali, where I live, I don't like wearing cream sunblock. *Sorry for blurry picture* The box is thick because it contains the compact sunblock + FREE REFILL... Love it the free one. You also get the small booklet for product description inside. Description It is 4 in 1 function: brightening, UV protection, make up, cooling. The cooling effect is new to me, I never have cooling effect product before. Really all in ...

News: Etude House Magic Any Cushion (Any Cushion + Choux Base???)

Quick News from Etude House! Etude Hose, why are you keep making me broke? Maybe for some people. it's really true. They are now going on their spring collection as the new lips fit already launched. A few days ago, there is something new and it's so exciting and colorful.  Etude House Any Cushion has been a hit and it's best selling item. Do you remember the last year Sweet Recipe collection, I reviewed the   Etude House Sweet Recipe Baby Choux Base #2 Berry . And now they are combining both of them and creating a new Etude House Magic Any Cushion. I love how they look. They're just like macaroons to me! Kyaa... There are 3 colors just like the Baby Choux Base, Peach, Mint and Berry. It claims that the cushion can magically tone up the skin. So if you have redness, you can choose the mint one. If you have pale skin like me, berry is the perfect one, and peach can also whiten your skin tone. I love this idea because it is more practical becaus...

Review: Eveline Glicerini Hand and Nail Cream Bio Olive + Karite Butter

Back then, my mom bought me this hand cream at Sasa Hongkong. At first, I was sceptical about this because I've never heard about it before,  Eveline is a pretty name for a girl but never heard about them on cosmetics or so. It's a brand from Poland that has been sold worldwide. I love Sasa because they sell a lot of products, so many brands that I don't know and they are affordable. I hope Sasa will open in Indonesia, someday *dreaming*. After searching and browsing, I'm surprised that they have so many products for make up and care (face, ,body, hair). Such a lot of products. And I've found this on their web, the description of the hand cream and what's in it. GLYCERINE CONCENTRATED HAND AND NAIL CREAM DEEPLY NOURISHING + REGENERATING BIO OLIVE + KARITE BUTTER strengthens nails  48h perfectly absorbing formula NATURAL ACTIVE INGREDIENTS Glycerine hand cream ensures deep nourishment and intense regeneration. Makes even very damaged and dehydrate...
