To quickly note, I received this for a small fee from 0.8 Liter for my honest review, this post is not sponsored.

The Green Tea Water Bomb contains 100 ml (3.38 oz) and it has a light, slightly herbal type scent.

It comes in a nice squeeze tube, just keep in mind, a little too much can come out sometimes.

The texture is loosely watery gel-like and it has a bit of a cooling feeling on the skin.

(I did use too much here.) After blending it out, you really feel a nice, soothing cooling feeling.

After blending it out, it does stay kind of tacky but it does disappear pretty quickly, so if you hate sticky moisturizers, this is a good one.

Recommended use is to apply an appropriate amount to the areas you want to manage and let it absorb. After using, I typically don't find these types of products moisturizing enough to use on their own but I think this one is an exception. After allowing it to absorb, my skin looked very clear and clean and my skin felt a little more bouncy and plump. It toned down the redness, I think in part due to the green tea extract and it's really not sticky, it's slightly tacky after applying it, but it fades quickly. There's a faint scent, which I find kind of herbal, but it should be okay for people with sensitive skin since it's not strong at all. On another note, they suggest this product for combination skin, however, it works on my very dry and parched skin. In addition, the ingredients are all pretty nice and natural. I'd honestly recommend this to anyone. Lastly, this brand is cruelty-free.

What I like: the soothing and cooling feeling is very pleasant and the lack of scent is also nice. It really soothes away the redness and hydrates deeply. It's not sticky and it's got some pretty nice ingredients and they're pretty nourishing and helpful to any skin type. It really plumped up and made my skin feel very bouncy and fresh. Despite the amount I used, you actually don't need much to cover your face and neck perfectly. What I don't like: this product isn't available everywhere and it can be a little pricey, but I think depending on your own opinion, the price tag is worth it.

Pros:

Moisturizing

Nourishing

Hydrating

Adds plumpness and a bouncy feeling

Good and natural ingredients

No bad chemicals

Cruelty-free

Comfortable to wear

Can layer very well

Non-sticky

Cons:

Not available everywhere

Can be pricey (per your opinion)

Would I buy again?

Yes

The cleansing comes with a pump and contains 150 ml (5.07 oz) and has a citrusy scent.

I used a liquid metallic lipstick to demonstrate how well this cleanses.

It didn't require too much blending to break up the lipstick and the oil doesn't have an oily feeling at all.

I added some water that helped to break up the makeup further.

It rinsed off very easily and my skin felt pretty hydrated afterward.

Recommended use is to apply the cleansing oil on dry skin and scrub into the skin. Cleanse skin gently and skin should be free of sebum and makeup residue. After using, I found this cleansing oil to work very well and it does break up the makeup quickly and it rinses off very cleanly. The scent is like lemon mixed with other citrus based fragrances and the oil itself is very watery and doesn't leave an oily feeling on the skin. You don't need a lot to cleanse skin so this product should last a while. I did notice some mild irritation on my skin so this may cause an issue if you have very sensitive skin. The ingredients are beneficial and the product's packaging is very straightforward with a pump. Overall a good product.

What I like: lovely citrusy scent and this breaks up makeup very quickly and only a need a bit of water to rinse off everything cleanly. It left my skin hydrated and there was no drying or oily residue left behind. A little of the product goes a long way and the ingredients are all pretty nice. What I don't like: might cause irritation for sensitive skin, please keep that in mind.

Pros:

Moisturizing

Non-drying

No oily residue

Rinses off cleanly

Breaks up makeup quickly

Nice ingredients

Nice packaging

Nice scent

Cons:

Could irritate sensitive skin

Would I buy again?

Maybe
