๓●•۰ MY REVIEW ۰•●๓

Jaebum Fangirl had the chance to review the giveaway items! Along with the Princess Livia Bee Pollen Skin Care Set, I also received the Princess Livia Gentle Cleansing Gel with Bee Pollen and the Princess Livia Soothing Eye Gel with Bee Pollen

My Review: The packaging when the products arrived was fantastic. Each product was carefully wrapped in colorful tissue paper. It was super adorable and I was keen to try the products out.

The Facial Cleansing Brush came in the Bee Pollen Skin Care with the Nectar Face Cream and the Balancing Toner, but I actually preferred using the brush with the Gentle Cleansing Gel. By using the soft bristles of the brush, I was able to scrub my face thoroughly clean. I prefer this brush to the Clarisonic because I get to control the motions. Also, the brush is small enough to tackle any section of my face, including around my nose and my mouth. The Gentle Cleansing Gel is a fantastic product for removing oils and other impurities. After using this cleanser, my skin felt smoother and more refreshed!

After washing my face with the Gentle Cleansing Gel and the Facial Cleansing Brush, I used my finger to apply the Soothing Eye Gel. Because of my newborn daughter, I have been sleeping at most five hours a day. The bags under my eyes are becoming more pronounced. Using the Soothing Eye Gel for several days, I could already tell the difference. This gel is an advanced under-eye treatment that tackles and corrects the puffiness under my eyes and makes me look more rested.

Afterwards, I used the Nectar Face Cream. This is by far my favorite product in this review. Bee Pollen Extract is fantastic for your skin, and I could definitely see the ingredient work when using this Nectar Face Cream with Bee Pollen. I often moisturize my skin after shower and I have tried many different moisturizers. Since I am picky with my moisturizers, I was hesitant to use this face cream, but this hesitation quickly changed into delight. This Nectar Face Cream is the perfect medium between thick and thin. When you dab your fingers into the cream, you feel the richness of the product. After using this for several days, I notice a big change in the texture of my skin. My skin felt softer and brighter.

I finished off my skin care routine with the Balancing Toner. Many people skip the toner in their skin care routine, but I think this is a mistake. Your skin has a PH balance, which the toner replicates that balance and evens the PH level throughout your face. Heed my advice when I say that using toner will make a huge difference on your skin. Every toner is a bit different, but what is so special about the Balancing Toner from Princess Livia is the problems that it tackles. Not only does your skin heal and balance your skin PH, this toner also moisturizes your skin, protects your skin for premature aging, and clarifies your skin! Using this toner just made me feel so clean and refreshed.

All the products have that no-scent smell. I love this “scentless” fragrance. I tend to not like facial products that have overly powerful scents.

For skin care, the prices are very affordable and the results are fantastic.
