Review: {Tony Moly} AC Control Toner


Hello!

I'm going to talk about one of the products that I'm using, the first time I ever tried this was from a sample I got when someone visited a tony moly store and gave it to me to try. I like it so much that I went ahead and purchased the full sized product, after I used it and finish my first bottle finish I went ahead and got another one whilst I was in Korea. I use this daily in my skin care regime and have been loving it so far!

Let's look at the product,


This is how the packaging looks like. The box is quite shiny and it's a really simple design.



At the back of the product it has the information, direction and cautions.


One of the side of the box, it's in korean so I can't really translate.


The other side of the box with the ingredients list.

Close up of the ingredients because I'm too lazy to type it all out hehehe.


Top of the box has the brand name and the product name in hangeul.


The bottle like the box is a clean blue colour and you can easily see how much product is left.


The back of the bottle once again has the name in hangeul and how much product it is and the products lifespan after opening.


It comes with a pump dispenser which I love because it's super convenient!


This is the old bottle design of the product. I recently just finished it. I also realized that the old packaging had less content than the new packaging!



It still has the same pump dispenser just that the old one is blue and the new one is white.



 I usually pump it 3-4 times onto the cotton pad when I apply at night to remove all the excess makeup/dirt from my skin. In the morning I pump it straight to my hands.


This is the cotton after I used it on my face. On this particular day I didn't use any makeup but when I do I can still see the cotton has a tiny bit of brown colour so I know it really helps clear my face one more time. My skin doesn't feel tight or any discomfort whenever I use this product so I'm rather happy with it!


What Tony Moly says:
Image taken from their website~


PROS:
- Makes my skin feel fresh after using.
- Skin feels soft and not dry after using.
- Smells good! At least to me it does.
- Helps with the prevention of acne.

CONS:
- I don't really have complaints for this product.

Overall Rating:
 5/5, it does make my skin feel hydrated and fresh like it claims so thumbs up from me!

Repurchase?: 
Already repurchased once and might repurchase again, but after this bottle I feel like trying the laniege toner.


So overall I do like it and would recommend people who have a mild acne problem to try it out but then again what works for me might not work for you so maybe you could try a sample before buying the full product like I did! 

Another plus point is B1A4 started endorsing Tony Moly so that makes me want to check out Tony Moly even more hehehehe.

June haul.

Hello loves!

So in the beginning of this June, I went and got myself a few things here and there. Almost all of the stuff I got in this haul is skincare products!

Some of these items I got during a sale and some is from my mom ^^ hehehe.

So here's what I got so far in the month of June!
A few items from Etude house and the rest is from different places!


 photo DSC_1899_zpsb1fe2405.jpg
Etude house had a 1 for 1 sale and I couldn't resist! I bought an emulsion and a toner from the skin mal:gem series. The toner I chose is deep moist for dry skin. The sales rep told me it's best not to use the emulsion and the deep moist toner together because both of them are really moisturizing. I also got their It's Real Mini Pack mask in Broccoli and Sea Kelp. Broccoli for antioxidant care and Sea Kelp for Moisturizing care.


 photo DSC_1901_zps8f84e47c.jpg
I also bought a shading brush and also a facial cleansing sponge. I love using sponges now! Heh.


 photo 35ca6c19-bfa9-4412-90ab-34e44050a473_zps3588b643.jpg
Lastly my mom got me this ENCA AC Control range because recently my skin seemed to keep breaking out ! The shop has the offer of buy 4 free 1 so I got the AC Drying Pink Powder free!

I already started using the sponge and the ENCA range and I'll do a review if I think the product is good! Also if you guys want to get yourself the Etude House Skin Mal:gem series go to w2beauty and enter this code 14111406 to skin $5 off your order and they also provide free shipping! Go to the link in this post or on the sidebar! ^^ Thank you for reading! Also if GFC does close down I hope you all will still follow me on bloglovin! Link is on the sidebar!

Review: {The Face Shop} Real Nature Mask

Hellooooooooooo ^^

I'm back again with a review! I'll be reviewing The Face Shops Aloe Vera and Mung Bean Real Nature Masks. I bought a bundle set for sensitive the last time I was in Singapore so it was slightly cheaper (: I should have bought the one for dry skin too >< The sensitive skin set comes with 3 Aloe Vera mask, 3 Mug Bean mask, 2 Kelp mask and 2 Cucumber mask so all in there is 10 mask in this bundle.


 photo 20130530_213748_zps9682261d.jpg
This is the Mung Bean one. The packaging is really simple just some picture of Mung beans hahaha!


 photo acf2089d-cce8-4205-9c5e-aaa6322524f6_zps7ee880ea.jpg
And this is the Aloe Vera one! Which is the same concept as the Mung bean.


 photo 20130530_213828_zps94f62015.jpg
The back of the Mung Bean one.

This the the back of the Aloe Vera one. The instructions are the same (:




This is how the inside of the packet looks like. Filled with essence :D
The fit of the mask! I like this mask more than the Etude House one. This actually covers up my nose! HAHAHAH. #Bignoseproblemsolved!

The direction of this mask is just like any mask. Pull it out and put it on your face for 15-20 minutes. I normally put it on till it's about dry. I don't like wasting essence hehehe! This mask is soaked when you first pull it out, I just rub the excess essence onto my neck.

What The Face Shop Says:

Mung Bean mask:
- Detoxifying, eliminates skin impurities.
- Purifies pores and soothes irritation and brake outs.

Aloe Vera mask:
- Excellent soothing effect.
- Aids in skin renewal and accelerates cell regeneration.


PROS:
-Easy to use.

-Both of it made my skin supple and hydrated.

-Nice smell.

-Mask has a nice fit.

-Soothed my skin.

CONS:
-Didn't really clear lighten my scars

Overall rating: 4.5/5 Not much complains just that the Aloe Vera one didn't " Aids in skin renewal and accelerates cell regeneration."

Repurchase?: If it's on offer again why not hehehe.



Hope you guys enjoyed this review ^^ Please follow me! Hehehe.

Review: {Etude House} Green Tea Natural mask

Hello loves!

As I said yesterday I'm back again today for a review on a face mask. Today I'll be reviewing a mask from Etude house! This is my first time using an Etude house mask ^^. I've been using mask more often now because I really am desperate to have nice skin T.T I think my skin might be sensitive too ):

Well moving on, this mask is a Green Tea Sheet Mask from Etude house. I bought this when Etude house was having an offer at 5 mask for Rm15 which is quite reasonable. Normal price is Rm6-RM7 for one of these mask!


 photo 20130523_012311_zpsd339cc84.jpg
This is how the packaging looks like. It's really cute and you can see tiny humans extracting the green tea goodness!


 photo 20130523_012340_zpsafd580b9.jpg
The back of the package.

DIRECTIONS:
1.Apply mask sheet to cleansed face and leave on for 20-30 minutes.

2.Remove mask and massage remaining solution into skin with hands.

3. Recommended interval for mask application is every 2~3 days for maximum efficacy.

* Hold and apply sheet according to diagram below.

* Pull tabs outwards against facial surface to incite tension fit.



 photo 20130523_012411_zpsf4efa4d9.jpg
So when you open it up it looks like this. It's just like any other sheet masks. It's soak up with the green tea goodness.


 photo 20130523_012705_zpsa8f7a7b0.jpg
I made this photo smaller because I'm scared I'll scare of people HAHAHA. Excuse the pjs hehe.
So this is how the face mask looks like when it's on. The nose area is a little small ): or maybe it's because I have a huge nose.


What Etude House Says:
  1. Essence mask contains green tea extract that soothes and comforts stressed and fatigued skin. Tension fit design for improved facial adhesion and comfort.
  2. Contain 1000mg green tea extract.

PROS:
- Reasonable price.

-Easy to use.

-Brightens up the skin.

-Pleasant smell.


CONS:
- Mask couldn't cover my nose. 

- Hydrates the skin abit.


Overall Rating: 3.5/5 


Repurchase?:  Most probably will if they have an offer again! It does fairly well for the price I paid (:

I hope you guys find this review useful! Please follow me hehehe.

Review: {Tony Moly} Hanbang Mask Sheet Mask Houttuynia Cordata

Hello all! Today I'll be reviewing sheet masks by Tony Moly~

My brother got this mask for me while he was in korea and it was 20000 won for 30 mask! Which is about RM54 for 30 sheet mask. So it was about RM2 per mask? Quite affordable ^^

 photo 20130505_150941_zps057935cd.jpg
So the packaging is pretty plain. Just a deep shade of green, not really cute looking but hey as long as it works right? (Blur picture again T.T)


WHAT TONY MOLY SAYS: 



  • Houttuynia Cordata calms breakouts, hydrates and nourishes.
  • This Hanbang mask pack effectively makes the Hanbang (Korean traditional herbal) ingredients penetrate into the skin and maintain moisture in the skin for a long time. Use this mask 2-3 times a week to clear out skin troubles. In the summertime, keep the pack in the refrigerator to enjoy a more refreshing effect.

So basically it's good for troubled skin.




 photo f9f081bd-5661-4f01-b2e2-391532fa443e_zpsdc8d1d4f.jpg
The back of this packet is all in hangul so I can't read it but the instructions are pretty simple.

1. Cleanse your face and use a toner.

2. Unfold the mask sheet.

3. Leave mask on for 20-30 minutes.

4. Pat remaining essence onto face and neck.

Ok so I tend to put mask on before I sleep and just sleep with it on. It dries up halfway and fall off my face so by morning there will a white sheet next to my face HAHAHA. 

When I wake up my skin will feel smooth with a hint of stickiness but I'm fine with that because I wash my face after I wake up.

The mask sheet is really weird because if I tried to cover my whole forehead it wouldn't cover my whole nose!


PROS

-Cheap

-Easy to use

-Face feels smooth in the morning

-Refreshing scent


CONS

- A little sticky

-I don't know if it's just me but my face heated up abit when using :o

-Shape of mask

Repurchase? : Maybe not. Alot of other more effective mask out there!
