7 days, 7 inspirations

1) Re:NK

Let me introduce Re:NK

it is one of the rising brands in Korean cosmetic/beauty industry

I received 3 sets of trial kits including 5 mL of perfect day serum

and 5mL of perfect day cream for research purposes for SURE magazine in Korea

it is quite a lot of amount for free

(5 * 3 = 15 mL)

because the original size they sell for perfect day serum is 40mL for 130,000 Korean won

which is about $130

that means it's about $48.75 worth of serum (serum only, not including the cream)

i love it :)

let's talk about the effects now

first impression: love the smell

it is the typical type of Korean cosmetic smell

meaning that it smells very feminine more like a body cream/perfume like scent

this way it makes you convinced that this product is MADE for women,

is that much works for senstivie types and LIGHTWEIGHTED

serum was clear colored in sight

it was like a water drop so I felt very moisturized applying it all over my face

after using the toner to cleanse my face

notice the "RE" in Re:NK?

re stands for

1) remove (dead skin cells)

2) repair (getting back to your skin's original strength of power

meaning that it wants to make your skin more firmed I guess)

3) recovery (helps to get back to your youth more quickly,

anti-aging much?)

how to use: 2-3 drops are enough and apply it all over your face lightly

to be moisturized

so far the serum was great

it wasn't like some of the other products

that are too strong for me (I heard that some anti-aging products

don't work for below 30s of age)

the cream that followed with it was also very light

as its name suggests, perfect to be used in the morning and day

as it makes your skin feels like you have a protective moisturized layer

from all the damages and dusts you receive from daily routines of works

2) grape juice (100% juice, nothing added)

my mom uses Hurom juice maker which costs about a little less $400 in Korea

(300 something I forgot how much it actually was)

and it is great for those who loves fresh juice like I drink every morning

it is a great routine to start off a day feeling refreshed and fully vitaminized

normally we drink tomato juice

but today my mom made it with grapes (had to put in about 2 full grapes to make about a grande/venti size)

how do I like it? love it of course

it feels unbelievable drinking the 100% juice coming from the fruits themselves only

no sugar, syrups or any other ingredients added

3) forget me not

forget me not scarves are all produced in Italy (Como)

(using a very fine digital print mode)

the illustrations had been featured in collaborations with other brands in the industry

from fashion to beauty

available for purchases in 10 countries all around the world

such as shops in Barney's, Harvey Nichols, Colette, and Harrods
