Marionette: ampoule

Tuesday, February 13, 2018

Hola Amigas! I know I have been MIA for quite a while! Life happens! But I am back with a little review for Y'all! I am almost done with my cute little bottle of Swanicoco's Biocellpure FGF Pure Ampoule R. I received this a while back in my PR package as part of their Project Swans2.

I have been using this product for almost 3 months now and I am nearing on finishing it too. My first impression - it looks so fancy and luxurious with its golden box and bottle! I have always been a fan of a cute and unique packaging. Beautifully packaged things just make me think that the product is actually of high quality - made with love. And this product did not disappoint me! It indeed exceeded my expectation.

This was actually my first ever ampoule and I love everything about it. From the packaging, the dropper style applicator and to the product itself. It has a faint rose smell which is really pleasant to my sensitive sense of smell. The liquid is milky in color and has a runny consistency.

Here are the simple yet amazing ingredients of this product:

sh-Polypeptide-11, Tocopherol, Allantoin, Carbomer, Arginine, Adenosine, Olibanum, and Rosa Damascena Flower Oil.

As Beauty Tap describes this product:

FGF (Fibroblast Growth Factor) plays a vital role in composing our skin and revitalizing our dermis. FGF heals damaged dermis, increases collagen, strengthens skin layers for a healthier balance, and protects skin! On the other hand, EGF (Epidermis Growth Factor) works to protect the outer layer of your skin. Luckily, Swanicoco’s FGF-1ppm (parts per millions) Pure Ampoule contains both FGF and EGF, and is best for those who are concerned with skin elasticity! This ampoule is created with gentle ingredients that will deliver nutrients to your skin, and give your complexion a youthful glow.

For a lady that's nearing the end of her 20's and welcoming the big 3 this year, I am in need of a product that will keep my skin's elasticity while keeping it moisturized and healthy. I found this as the "just what I needed" product.

I use this twice a day, in my every morning and every night time skincare routine since I really like this product. I use one drop each to my forehead and both cheeks. I love how it absorbs quickly into the skin and doesn't leave any residue or stickiness behind. I am amazed that it does not felt oily either. I love how my skin felt so soft and smooth after application. It indeed helps me achieve a youthful glow!

Do you guys have a favorite ampoule? Let me know in the comment below!

You can buy this product at Beauty Tap for $53.

Have you ever received a PR package from a brand or a company? If you are a blogger or simply a product reviewer like me, you know that receiving a free box of goodies is always a good thing! Especially if it's from a great brand that you have been wanting to try. I recently received my first PR package from Swanicoco and I'd love to share you guys what I received.

If you are not familiar with the Swanicoco Brand, here's some background:

It is a Korean Beauty Brand that claims to be nature-based.
They are committed to ensuring that each Swanicoco product is consists of 90% to 100% natural ingredient.
Swanicoco harnesses Korea’s high-tech biotechnology to provide products with not just time-honored botanical ingredients but those that are science-based, ranging from epidermal growth factors to snail mucin to fermented ingredients.
Originally founded in 2000 by Seong Chunseon as a way to treat her family’s sensitive skin.
Today, Swanicoco boasts a collection of over 150 products, ranging from skincare and color cosmetics to hair and body care and, of course, Seong’s fermented soaps.

I recently found out that they have a so-called Project SWANs where they send curated products for chosen reviewers. I was so happy to stumble upon this post on their Instagram account and more thrilled when my application has been approved!

After 2 weeks from the approval notice, I received the much-awaited package. Although my box came in soaking wet for some reason, I was glad that the products inside were all safe. I was amazed to see an amazing assortment of full-size products!
