Hello all! I know, before I start, I've simply got to give you my deepest apologies for the lack of blog posts within the last month and a half. Sometimes one goes through a certain period within their life which requires them to take a break from everything and focus on their current situation, which was the case for me, as heartbreaking as it was. However, I'm back and better than ever, coming straight at you with a review! (Unintended rhyming - looks like I'm getting back into my flow...)
Today, I have for you two products that were kindly gifted to me from the wonderful K-beauty website MeetUnni.com. I discover more and more about K-beauty every single day, which is why I love it so much and, in fact, what led me to this wonderful outlet. Offering WORLDWIDE shipping, MeetUnni.com is amazing for all of your skincare, bodycare, makeup and hair needs and, with so many different brands to choose from, you won't get bored browsing through the latest products. And, plus, the shipping was UBER fast, guys - delivery goals SHOOK. To be honest, I could talk about MeetUnni.com all day, but I think it's best that we get onto the goodies before I waffle on too much!
Both of these babies are from Natural Pacific who, as you may be able to tell from the brand name, aim to create incredibly effective products from the most natural, beneficial ingredients. Now that's a motto I can f*** with.
Firsty, we have the fresh herb origin serum, which I've been applying basically every night in conjunction with my regular skincare routine and reaping the benefits from. There's 100% always a reason behind why a product becomes a bestseller and, with this one, it was clear about two weeks after my first use. This highly enriched antioxidant serum primarily claims to help with the strengthening of skin and skin troubles (meaning anything from wrinkles and age related lines to dull skin). It's also suitable for a wide range of skin types, including those on the sensitive spectrum.
For me, this serum definitely lived up to my expectations and it's become somewhat of a holy grail within my collection. When applied to the skin, you do feel a slight stinging sensation (totally normal - this product even penetrates into the crevices of weakened, more delicate skin) followed by a very soothing cooling effect. The actual formula itself is very lightly oily, however, not at all sticky - it's ideal for my oily T-Zone. Over the course of a few weeks, I noticed a considerable change in the size of my pores (I have some big ass CRATERS on the apples of my cheeks, people!) and also fine lines, which I'm rather chuffed about and can definitely credit to this product. You will experience separation with this product (all it requires is a good shake before each use) which I know puts some people off, however, for the reduced price of $19.60, I recommend highly that you make the purchase.
Moving on to the second element of this "perfect pair" (these two are like a match made in heaven when used together!), is the fresh herb calendula tincture toner. What a mouthful! However, it's safe to say that said $18.90 "mouthful" was definitely worth experimenting with as it's an absolutely stunning toner.
Boasting the rather "wacky" combination of Calendula flower leaves and fermented malt drink beer, it's really been amazing for keeping my skin looking and feeling fabulous. Just like the serum, the formula feels very lightweight and soothing when first applied, however, the primary difference is that this one doesn't sting at all, so if you're not into that and wish to give the serum a miss, this toner might be more for you. My skin feels very soft, smooth and moisturised after use, prepping it perfectly for the remainder of my skincare routine. In addition, I can confirm that a little goes a LONG way with this product - I've been using it consistently for a month or so now and have still barely made a dent in it! I'm loving it!
In conclusion, I'm, for sure, besotted with these two, especially as a pair - Natural Pacific have done a tremendous job in creating and formulating two products that work together in such an effective manner. And, better yet, you can purchase them BOTH as a bundle deal at the same time for the small price of $31 from MeetUnni.com! What more could you ask for?
Thanks so much for reading my first post in a long while - it feels so good to be back doing what I love and especially on such a positive note with two standout products.
Have you heard of Natural Pacific? Have you tried any of their products?

Does the fresh herb serum is suitable for acne prone skin and be used by a 22 year old girl as the serum seems more focusing on wrinkle?
ReplyDeleteYes, definitely - I'm 16 and it worked wonders on my acne prone skin! x

My sister has such sensitive skin. Based on your review, I think this would work well with her.
ReplyDeleteHi there Sam! 100% - these are both lightweight products that I find to be very effective yet at the same time gentle on skin! This is one of the only toners I have that doesn't slightly sting when applied so, yes, I reckon it's very well suited to your beautiful sister! Thank you very much for reading! x
