Jinmee Hydrapuff Skincare Sheets

I think it is far to say that I am a bit of a fan when it comes to Korean Beauty and over the past few weeks I have been having a good play around with a product from Jinmee, a new Korean Brand.  The translation of Jinmee is 'best beauty' and their aim is to bring everyone the best beauty products whilst keeping things simple. 

The Hydrapuff is an ultra-thin, multi-purpose skincare sheet, and unlike conventional cotton pads that just drink up liquids but are unable to release and redistribute product, once you add liquid to Hydrapuff, it transforms to a soft, gel-like tissue that clings perfectly to your skin, allowing for all that product to be absorbed where it's needed.  The standard pads absorb 100% of the product you add be it a toner, oil, essence and so on as long as it is a liquid because this works best and it is what the Hydrapuffs are designed to be used with. and what this means is that if you are a fan of multi-masking, you can use add the products you need, in the places you need without minimum effort.

The Hydrapuff itself is a bit of a multitasking product too, you can use it to tone, mask or for added hydration:

• Toning - Soak both parts of the Hydrapuff with your favourite toner, essence or serum and gently pat skin, allowing them to be absorbed.
• Hydration - For extra hydration, add more product if needed and split the sheet in the middle.
• Masking - Apply each Hydrapuff sheet directly onto your skin, on cheeks or desired area and then leave for 5-10 minutes before removing.

I really like being able to use the Hydrapuff with my toner, because they absorb so much more liquid, so not only do you use much less, it also means your toners last longer and I am currently using them with my Caudalie Toner, which I absolutely love.  I have also used it with a whole host of oils which are great when your skin is in need of a hydration boost.

The Hydrapuffs are not only biodegradable, but they are also cruelty-free and Vegan. Priced at £6.50 for a pack of 60 double sheets from Jinmee.

Moschino Toy 2 Eau de Parfum

If ever there was a cute but intriguing way to package a fragrance, I think Moschino win that war. With fragrances packaged inside replica cleaning bottles such as Pink Fresh Couture and Gold Fresh Couture, they really captured your attention and are as fun as they wonderfully scented. Now we have Toy 2 which a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women. 

Created by Alberto Morillas and Fabrice Pellegrin, Toy 2 comes packaged inside the Iconic Teddy Bear which is a transparent glass bottle with opaque finishing touches. The Teddy Bear hugging the clear flacon and it is fun to look at and use and it is very much in keeping with what I expect from Moschino.

Toy 2 sits within the Floral Woody Musk family and it opens with a burst of sweet citrus and crisp apple notes which is juicy and sweet yet soft all at the same time and that is due to the top notes of mandarin orange, apple and magnolia.  The Floral notes come from the middle notes of peony, white currant and jasmine, all of which a form a clean and slightly powdery scent which I really like because you can also still detect the freshness of the apple. Then we have the base notes of Sandalwood, Amberwood and Musk which adds some depth to the scent as it dries down on the skin to create a nice balance of notes.

This is a kind of fragrance you can wear for any occasion be it just for day to day or of an evening.  What has impressed me the most is the longevity, this is a fragrance that lasts for a good 8-9 hours once applied.  It takes a good few minutes once spritzed to dry down and settle but as soon as it has done so, the scent lingers all day.

Moschino Toy 2 is priced at £45 for 30ml here*, £66 for 50ml here* and £85 for 100ml here*. For a fun looking fragrance, Moschino definitely tick all the boxes with Toy 2.
