SEPTEMBER 2015 HAUL : BEYOND



Hi Everyone, it’s been a long time since I post my previous review. And yeah, today I won’t post about food anymore. I’m having a lot of interests in food and beauty these days.

 And as time goes on, I’m not so fond of makeup anymore. Why do I have to keep covering my face with tons of makeup to show it beauty? So I started to concern more on skincare. And I’ve been spending so much on skincare these days (IDR 500,000 is way too expensive for me, in case you’re asking my vision of expensive..hehe..I know I’m cheap :p )

Well, it’s not only about changing from makeup to skincare (I still use makeup every day, but not as much as I used to), I also started to look for eco friendly products. Well, my first skincare product was from Innisfree, and they’re also an eco friendly brand, but they haven’t opened their counter in Indonesia yet.

Simply, now, I’m so interested in another Korean eco friendly products, Beyond!
In Surabaya, you can find the counter at Tunjungan Plaza (my apology I forgot the floor). It’s been there for quite some times, but I never tried to give it a chance for the price would be very expensive, maybe 2-3x the original price. Taxes and many other things, yeah.. But, once, I went in and talked to the BA and he recommended me Just Beyond Original Power Vit C Serum. The price is still reasonable and I love the serum! And I’m getting more interested in this brand <3


 
And, here is the explanation about BEYOND from the brochure I have:

“BEYOND is Korea’s no.1 eco-cosmetic that carries campaign against animal testing & committed to consistently take eco-friendly action & respect life.
BEYOND is one of LG Household & Health Care brand that own a slogan ‘True Eco Beyond
This express our principle that we will go through the entire process from finding raw materials to packaging based on 10 eco philosophies.
The products from Beyond including skincare for all skin types, makeup, body care, hair care, and nail care.

Here are the 10 Eco Values of BEYOND :

2.       Recyclable package
3.       Fair Trade
4.       Eco Beauty
5.       Minimum Waste
6.       Sustainable Energy
7.       Naturalism by Eco Beauty Lab
8.       No Chemical Preservatives
9.       No Chemical Colorants
10.   Against Animal Testing

From what you can read above, they’re against animal testing, and I think that’s why the rabbits love them (what am I saying? -.- )
I think I just can’t take my eyes of my bunny pouch >.< I can’t use it, I may not make it dirty!! :’(

Hellooooo Bunny >.<

Well, I received it as a gift (I guess) for becoming a member. Yeay! My first membership! >.< but no card, they’re using online membership, CMIIW :D
So, how to become a member? Just spend a minimum of IDR 500,000, and you’ll become a member. Yeay!! For being a member, you’ll receive a bunny pouch, and some gift (depends on the promotion I guess). And some other benefit. Wait, I’ll search for the link the admin once gave me. The lady on the counter was so passive that she doesn’t tell me anything (unlike the guy who once so talkative and helpful, AND gave me so much samples that makes me love to get back there)


So, now, go on to the things I’ve purchased…
1.       Beyond True Eco Organic Toner





At first, I’m not too interested in buying the True Eco Organic Toner, for it’s way too expensive for me. I’m only budgeting maximum of IDR 250,000 for toner. And also, there’re not much review online for this products (actually I can’t find much review about beyond :’( ). But from some I’ve read, it’s really worth the price. And, there’s a promo today for the toner, the Eco Beauty Festival, up to 50%, yeay!!! I bought it for 30% off (I keep wishing it’s 50% off..hehe >.< )
This toner contains 100% organic ingredients which removes any makeup residues and refresh your skin. It’s dermatology tested, against animal testing, no chemical preservatives and colorants, and naturalism by Eco Beauty Lab.
That’s all I can read. Others were all in Korean. I’ve tried to translate it using google, but it turned out egh, weird.. L
2.       Beyond Fruitopia Peach Facial Foam



 
 


I bought this facial foam only to become a member..hehe.. I haven’t read any review about it, for I’m concentrating on searching for a low PH cleanser. Well I think I’ll give it a chance. But I’ll finish my present face wash first. Hehe..
This facial foam contains peach fruit extract, rich in organic acid and vitamin to cleanse and moisturize your skin from dryness.


3.       Beyond Revital Body Emulsion and samples (FREE)

 

These are FREE! Hehe.. I just love free things.. :p
Well, from what I read, this body emulsion contains Ginger and Lemonade, which moisturize and soften (?) the skin from dryness.
Well, I’ve tried the sample before. I didn’t really like the smell. it smells nice and refreshing. It’s not so strong that would make you dizzy, somehow, I just didn’t love it.
But it does its job to moisturize my skin. My hands and feet were so dry, unlike my face, and it make them more supple and soft, for hours! I use it at 10 AM before I went to mall, which is air conditioned, and went home at 4 PM. And it’s not drying at all!
Only, I wish it has some SPF in it L You know, Surabaya is quite hot and my skin get tanned easily, and risk of cancer.. yeah..
But still, it’s a very nice product to moisturize your skin 

Well, I don’t think that I’ll be able to make a personal review of these products soon. In my opinion, skin care won’t affect my skin in only one application. So, I’ll wait for some times until it takes effect.
