Last month, a good friend of mine (Ir Nana) who is now residing in the US sent me a box of travel-sized Artistry Essentials Balancing Skin Care System for combination/oily skin. She's actually a dealer for Artistry products. There's makeups, hair cares, skin cares for both men and women, sports nutrition, vitamins and supplements and lots more.



Type: For combination/oily skin
Size: Cleanser - 20 ml / 0.66 fl oz, Toner - 30 ml / 1 fl oz, Lotion - 20 ml / 0.66 fl oz
Price: USD 17.50
Description: Make it a shine-free day! In three steps, Tri-balance with natural ingredients like Indian fig and acerola cherry help equalize and control oil for skin that’s balanced and hydrated. And each oil-free product boosts the performance of the next, intuitively adjusting for continuous oil control throughout the day. Safe for use on sensitive skin.
The GOOD: I love love love the smell! I don't know how to describe it but the smell stays on for quite awhile after you've washed your face. It's amazing that it really controls the oiliness especially around my forehead and nose. My nose and forehead totally didn't get all hardcore oily like is usually does. And the Balancing Lotion has a SPF/FPS 15 UVB/UVA protection which i think is great too.
The BAD: It made me break out! I used it religiously and it made me break out on the third day. The break outs wasn't that bad. There were like three pimples - two on my forehead and one on my right cheek. But i still continue using it for the next two days apart from the break outs just to see how it goes. But on the fifth day of using it, more new pimples (small ones) broke out on my forehead and my jawlines.
Product: ★★★★☆
Packaging: ★★★★★
Purchasable at: Sunset Ai
Recommended: Yes - Just because it made me break out, doesn't mean i have to say no, right?
Would i buy it again?: I guess not. But i might want to try their other products especially the Replenishing Eye Cream and Eye And Lip Makeup Remover.
I thought of passing this to anyone of you girls (only open for Singapore readers) for Singapore who might be interested to try it out and do a review as well. Who knows it might work for you. But please take note that it won't be a brand new item. I only used it for five times and there's still a lot more products left in the tubes and bottle. You don't have to pay anything, even for the postage charges. Do comment if any of you are interested.
