Long time no see.. Im a bit busy on driving class this few months and let me tell you, the driving part was easy but the environment was super hot....
okay for today, I would like to review a toner that I bought to try out from Good Virtue Co. called glowing and goodness brightening facial toner... It's a mouth full I know...
This toner contains organic black seed oil ( a.k.a habbatus sauda / the seed of blessing) in fact the whole skincare range is based on this black seed as the main quality or selling criteria..
it claimed to be alcohol-free, with the blend of organic black seed oil and hyaluronic acid which helps to brighten the skin and give you the glow...
according to the Good Virtues Co website :

and this is how the toner looks like:

| the front view |
 |
| all of the descriptions and so on,,, |
It comes in 100 ml bottle (3.4 fl OZ) with the prize tag of RM 12.90 from the website and I bought it from Watson from RM 10.90
# it comes in spray bottle, make things whole lots easier
# the smell is divine- smells like number of herbal with light hints of floral freshness...
# the texture is watery, and it absorbs well
# I love to use this to set my makeup, it helps the powder to not look cakey
# the packaging is so cute
# i agree on the glow it gives
on the dark side:
X I have slight tingly sensation and some kind of warm feeling on my skin upon spraying this toner,
X Its hot hydrating, and if my skin already dehydrated, this toner makes me feel so tight and dryer
I actually add water to this toner to dilute it a little bit, after dilution, the warm, tingly feeling is no more felt... maybe the concentration reacts on my super sensitive and complicated skin...
As for recommendation, I would recommend this toner to those with oilier or even normal skin.. not so suitable for sensitive skin.. would i repurchase this? Might be but as makeup setting spray not toner...
That's all for now
