Review: Tatcha's Camellia Beauty Oil


Greetings, my friends!

Bottom Line - I don't think I'll buy it, but I will say that it hydrates your skin very well when you're not already wearing cream-based products.

Tatcha:
Tatcha is an American beauty company founded by CEO Victoria Tsai in 2009. Their skincare products are rooted in geisha beauty practices and focus on powerful natural ingredients, such as abaca leaf, green tea, seaweed, red algae, oatmeal, rice bran, and Japanese wild roses. Tatcha employs scientists in both the US and Japan to create products from scratch using these ingredients, which led to the foundation of their products - Hadasei-3™, a trinity of anti-aging superfoods born from the Japanese diet, and the basis for the original geisha beauty rituals: green tea, rice and algae. Every ingredient is carefully selected and minimally manipulated to be gentle and safe with maximum effectiveness.  In short - their principle is quality products that focus on less doing more.

Tatcha's Camellia Beauty Oil:
I really wanted to like this, but this was not for me. It was thick on my skin and while it hydrated well - it just felt like it was sitting on top of my skin. I also noticed that when I'd use it with other cream-based products - it would cause the creams to pill and flake off my skin. Definitely not cool! However, I will say that for those that are interested in trying it, it hydrates well and causes a lovely dewy glow to your skin.

Stats:
This costs $33 for .34oz (10ml) or $95 for 1oz (30ml). I recommend buying the travel size first to see whether you like the product. Tatcha is really good at making travel size versions of all their products. (Yay Tatcha!) The travel size I received did not have the gold spoon, but I still think it was well worth the $30.

You can buy this on Tatcha's website (www.tatcha.com), but it is also available at Sephora, QVC, Barney's (you know it's expensive if it's available at Barney's), and JCPenny's. QVC has the best price point, but Tatcha has the best freebies with purchase. So it depends on what you're looking for when you go to purchase. Personally, I love me some freebies. 

I do not recommend buying high-end beauty products from Amazon or eBay. While I love Amazon and eBay and most sellers are legitimate with quality products - beauty products tend to be highly susceptible to fraud. If you're going to spend your hard earned money, make sure you're buying what you think you're buying. Because it would really suck to spend say $80 on this product on Amazon or eBay (which sounds like a great deal), to later find out that it's expired or that someone just filled an old Tatcha container with Jergens or Aveeno. You won't really have buyer's recourse to adjudicate your purchase because how will you prove that the product has expired or that you didn't get the same cream you thought you'd ordered.

That's it. Let me know if you have any questions.

Review: 6 Different SokoGlam Sheet Masks

Greetings, my friends! Bottom Line  - I would buy almost every mask again with the exception of the E-Nature mask. E-Nature: Per SokoGlam.com, E-Nature was founded on the principle of creating breakthrough formulas for your skin by fusing cutting-edge Korean technology with the safest and most effective natural ingredients. E-Nature's Squeeze Green Watery Sheet Mask: This mask was "okay." It's a cotton mask soaked in watery essence (not goo) which felt nice and cool on my face, but I didn't see any difference other than that it slightly hydrated my skin. It's meant to treat excess sebum, but I didn't notice a difference either. This costs $2.50, but I don't think I'll buy it again. Klavuu: Per SokoGlam.com, Klavuu is Korea's first marine pearl cosmetic brand that infuses natural pearl, essential oils, and marine plant extracts into their signature formulas. Natural pearls will enrich, hydrate, and firm the skin, for the most ra...

Review: Dermalogica's Oil Free Matte SPF 30

Greetings, my friends! Bottom Line  - this is a great matte daytime lotion which I think is worth a try for someone looking for a new lotion. Dermalogica : Dermalogica is an American skincare company founded by Jane and Rey Wurwand in 1986. However, before the first Dermalogica products were made - in 1983, Jane, a U.K. trained skin therapist, opened "The International Dermal Institute" for licensed skin therapists to teach hands-on postgraduate level skincare training. Realizing there weren't products on the market which matched what she was teaching, Jane and Rey established Dermalogica. They decided they wanted a p roduct line free of common irritants and ingredients which they felt led to breakouts, such as lanolin, SD alcohol, mineral oil, artificial colors, and fragrances - and that's exactly what they ended up creating. Dermalogica Oil Free Matte SPF 30 : This is a great light daytime lotion. Not only does it  soak in quickly and leaves a matte-ish s...
