Sephora Moisturizing Cream and Gel Tins Unsanitary but Oh So Cute!

You can blame Steam Cream for my obsession with moisturizers that come in a tin that’s why these new Sephora Moisturizing Cream and Moisturizing Gel Tins are so damn appealing!

Actually, if I think back on you can probably blame a lot of different Japanese and Korean brands as well since I can think of any number of moisturizers that either came in the cutest little tub or tin ever. The first one that comes to mind would be the long gone but never forgotten Sana Hiaruronsan Moisture Gel. Sigh those were the days. There’s also Mizon No 1 Moist King’s Berry Cream which comes in adorable tin. Why oh why am I obsessed with this silly packaging? It’s utterly unsanitary and won’t keep the ingredients stable but I still buy into them.

Sephpora’s are cute as hell not to mention quite cheap at a mere $8 bucks each. They’ll be great for travel as they are only 1.86 oz each.

Sephora Moisturizing Cream comes in two formulas but I suspect they’ll be more if they follow along with the Micellar Cleansing Water and Milk release they did a few months ago. Right now they have a Rose and a Coconut formula. Rose hydrates and brightens while Coconut soothes and relaxes. They market them as having a light, creamy texture that absorbs easily without being sticky.

There’s also Sephora Moisturizing Gel which is available in a green tea formula that acts to mattifying and balance skin without being oily, greasy, or sticky.

They seem like a cute release and something you might want to try out for travel or on days you just want to hydrate and go.

You can get both now at sephora.com.

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse. If you’re that person feel free to reach out and leave a comment or follow me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Bloglovin‘.

    I almost threw one of these in my cart earlier today, I was looking for something to buy to get the birthday gift lol. But tins…

      I admit I did too but not even to get a bday gift, just because I’m a gullible idiot for new skincare even in crappy packaging!

    If the tins were easy to open I wouldn’t mind. For some reason I automatically assume moisturizers in tins are rich and fluffy . But getting that dang tin closed with lotion on your hands can be a nightmare haha.
