First Impressions

Although the box arrived slightly bent on one side, everything inside was in a perfect state. Nothing spilled or broke, so I was happy. And I’m also loving that now everything comes tightly wrapped.

What’s Inside

Farm Stay Cica Farm Calming Multi Balm (10g) – $23.36

I’m a HUGE fan of multi-balm products, and this one has earned a permanent spot in my purse! It’s got Centella Asiatica, which is a summer lifesaver for controlling oil. Plus, it’s supposed to help with wrinkles and dryness over time. The texture is like a balm that melts into an oil but doesn't feel sticky or greasy.

You can use it for neck, eye, and forehead wrinkles, and it’s great for moisturizing dry patches. My cheeks have been super dry lately because of spot treatments, so I’ve been using it there. And my absolute favorite part: it doubles as a lip balm! My lips have never felt so moisturized for so long. 

I’ve been carrying this with me since I got it!

Earth Harbor Nebula Clarity Ampoule (30ml) – $46

First things first, how pretty is this bottle? 😍 I was a bit bummed the serum wasn’t purple, but the clear formula is still fabulous. This ampoule is a must if you have sensitive skin like me. It tackles acne, blemishes, congestion, blackheads, and even scarring. The texture is super lightweight—think toner consistency—and absorbs instantly! 

I think it pairs perfectly with your favorite moisturizer. It has a slight natural scent, which I checked, and no pore-clogging ingredients despite having seed oils and floral extracts.

Farm Stay Black Snail Premium Rolling Eye Serum (25ml) – $18.69

Obsessed. I’m OBSESSED with this roll-on eye serum. The tiny metal balls are amazing for fighting puffiness, especially in the morning. It’s so refreshing and cooling, perfect for a gentle eye massage. You can even use it on neck wrinkles and smile lines! 😉

Aronyx Biome Moisture Cream (50ml) – $27

I really like this moisturizer! It’s lightweight and absorbs quickly, but it's still rich and calming. Pro tip: keep it in the fridge. Applying it cold feels incredible, especially after exfoliating. It’s a summer must-have! 

Mizon Cica Aloe Soothing Gel Cream (300g) – $16.60

I’m a big fan of aloe gel, and this one doesn’t disappoint. It has Centella Asiatica to boost skin healing. The texture is jelly-like but doesn’t feel sticky or runny, which I love. It calms your skin in minutes! I use it after shaving, outdoor activities, and even as a hair mask for dry ends. 

I read some reviews saying it irritated their face, so definitely do a patch test first! If your skin can handle it, try refrigerating it and using it as a face mask with a reusable sheet mask for the most hydrating experience ever.

Amuse Rose Lip Smudger (0.8g) – $16.26

Such a nice surprise to find a makeup product in the box! I love lip smudgers, and this one in shade Rose is a cute neutral. It glides on smoothly without feeling cakey or dry. While it’s not completely smudge-proof, it’s a pretty lipliner I’ll use a lot. 

JMsolution Disney Collection Cactus Mask (1pc) – $15.89 for 10pc

I was a bit disappointed that the sheet mask wasn’t Bambi-themed, but JMsolution masks are always drenched in serum and leave my skin feeling insanely hydrated. Plus, I love, LOVE, LOVE how soft these masks are. I gave this one to my husband, and he loved it! He even asked why I hadn’t given it to him before. 😂

Vitamasques Morning Goggle Eye Mask (1pc) – $3.99

This was a cute and fun addition to the box. I did feel a bit of irritation when I applied it—possibly from the lemon fruit extract—but it quickly faded. Let me know if you have experienced this too! It was cooling and nice while on, and my eye area felt tighter and brighter afterward. But for the price, I’d probably opt for something else.
