Also I got a Nacific item and didn’t get a Stray Kids PC which I have come to expect now which is maybe a little selfish but I was really sad I didn’t get one this time!

The Apieu Juicy Pang Jelly Blusher is available in six different shades. And with K-beauty products I am always a bit nervous about the shade ranges. They don’t always suit my tastes, but when I spotted this I thought: that’s perfect. The shade is called Apple and that’s exactly what it reminds me of: a juicy red apple. It’s not too vibrant: some red blushes can be very much in your face and vibrant. But this one is more of a muted shade which makes it super wearable for my everyday makeup look. How does this blush swatch? Flavonoids( hesperidin, naringin, luteolin, and ferulic acid) are also nice active compounds with possible antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and vasoprotective effects. Some of them (namely hesperidin and luteolin) might evenhave skin brightening activity by inhibiting tyrosinase, the famous enzyme needed for melanin production.

The choice to expand into the US market was relatively straightforward, Ahn maintained, given the youthful nature of the brand’s target audience and growing popularity on social media. Some essential oil content is usually also present in citrus fruit extracts, which means a nice scent and antibacterial properties, but also some questionable compounds such as fragrance allergenlimoneneor phototoxic compoundbergaptene. If the amount is big enough to worry about is questionable, probably not, however, the same question applies to all the nice beneficial compounds.What is really unique about A’pieu is that we provide a total and complete face care regimen, from protective skincare to color​,” said Ahn. “ Very few brands can claim that they can protect and rebuild your skin barrier from environmental stressors as well as be that fashion-forward splash of color for your eyes, lips, and cheeks, but A’pieu can​,” he elaborated. But orange fruit is loaded with lots of other active compounds with a wide variety of possible effects. A well-knownoneis the antioxidant vitamin C, aka ascorbic acid, but the dosage will vary based on the extraction method, and it’s possible that some of the ascorbic acid content will degrade before extraction process even takes place. If you want vitamin C in your skincare, that is smart, but do not rely on orange fruit extract for it. Raspberry is definitely a much deeper shade than Strawberry. Where I would typify Strawberry as a pinky peach shade that is quite soft and natural, Raspberry is like the bolder, older sister. It is much deeper than I had expected. It has pink but also quite a bit of a plum undertone making it a stunning deep, cool toned dusty mauve shade. Both of these are quite glowy on the cheeks and these make your cheeks look very flushed but really looks like it is part of your skin. These dry down! And ones they do, they won’t budge until you remove them. If you are someone who struggles with cream products as they move around too much this may be a good one. How is this product best used?

So I bought these blushes with a coupon I got from Yesstyle. On there the blushes retail for €6.95 a pop which really isn’t that much money. For that price point you also get a bunch of product as each bottle comes with 9 mls of product. Since these products are the type where a little goes a long way it will take years to use them up. Good to know: these have a slightly fruity scent which isn’t strong or annoying, but it may be good to know about if you want zero fragrance in your makeup. Apieu Juicy Pang liquid blush Strawberry Always when I read instructions on a product that says to put the applicator directly on the face I get confused. Don’t get me wrong, I am not stupid. I totally get that there is an applicator in the product and then you simply use it to apply the product to your face. Dip again and then apply to the next place. But what I don’t understand is WHY they recommend people doing this. Maybe the Covid situation has made me even more skeptic to this method (I was skeptic even before though). But I really don’t think it’s very hygienic and the product will go bad faster. Applicator Apieu Juicy Pang Blusher I have super dry skin. And I mean super dry. My skin is simply bad and before starting with K-beauty my skin was a total mess. I had small wounds on my skin from being so dry (you can read about that here). My skin completely changed, but it doesn’t mean that my skin isn’t bothering me (especially during winter). So instead of using powder products I really prefer my makeup to come in cream or some type of liquid since powder is a big no no for me. Blush and highlighter is ok, but I do prefer liquid products. So when I first came across these I was super intrigued and of course I had to try them out.To learn more about the specific ways that A’pieu had formulated its products and brand strategy to appeal to Gen Z consumers, as well as their plans to appeal to the US cosmetics and personal beauty care product shopper, CosmeticsDesign spoke with Jay Ahn, CEO of Able C&C US, Inc. Able C&C Co., Ltd. is the parent company of Able C&C US, Inc. and is a Korea-based cosmetics manufacturer who controls the A’pieu brand. About A’pieu A’pieu’s product offerings specifically target the younger Gen Z consumer. Said Ahn, “ A’pieu is particularly focused on the youthful needs of skin protection from the sun, stress, and of course, acne​,” and their product development team has historically focused on formulating products that are specifically indicated to meet the needs of younger skin. The A’pieu development team has crafted product lines with ingredients like Madecassoside (MA), a pentacyclic triterpene isolated from the Centella asitica (L.) plant known for its anti-inflammatory properties that are particularly beneficial for acne-prone or photodamaged skin types. “ Our skincare lineup of sunscreens and soothing madecassoside was a collaborative effort between our world-class R&D team and a marketing group that is immersed in the dynamic skin needs and trends of the Gen-Z consumer​,” Ahn explained. The relationship between A’pieu and Gen Z The Apieu Juicy Pang liquid blushes totally live up to the hype for me. These are stunning little blushes that just do what I am currently really into which is a natural glowy look that is easy to apply. Strawberry is my favorite shade for right now as I feel it works well in the spring/ summer time and I feel it just goes with so many different looks. Raspberry is pretty too but it is one I would probably go more with if I wear a fairly neutral eye and more so in the fall/ winter time. In short, these liquid blushes have really stolen my heart a little bit and I really have fallen in love with how these perform. Would I recommend the Apieu Juicy Pang liquid blush?

Mother Nature also created wax esters but for a totally different purpose. Chemically, a wax ester is a fatty acid + a fatty alcohol, one long molecule. Wax esters are on the outer surface of several plant leaves to give them environmental protection. 25-30% of human sebum is also wax esters to give uspeople environmental protection.FRUIT INSPIRED CREATION: Natural blending of berry plum, velvety grape, red apple, and peach inspiration How to use As for modern research and chemical composition, the fixed oil from the seeds is richin skin-nourishing unsaturated fatty acids ( mainly linoleic acid at 50 – 60%and oleic acid at 20%, but also contains some rare ones like C20:2 arachidic and eicosadienoic acids), amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. A component called thymoquinone (it's the main component of the volatile oil part, but the fixed oil also contains some) is considered to give the seed its main therapeutic properties including strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory abilities.
