review: the face shop brightening capsule body wash + body essence

My mom likes to say, hey if you're really into korean products why don't you buy some body wash and lotion too?

Well, i do want but something always blocking my way! (yes, it's you pretty shades of lipstick, don't turn around! I know it's you!) hehe. So i've been eyeing this faceshop brightening capsule body wash and essence for a long time but i can only got it now.

The reason why i choose face shop because it offers whitening effect. Well, actually no whitening lotion applied topically can whitened your skin. You know what i meant, if you're born with darker skin nothing can help you except chemical injection, but hey! We need to embrace ourselves no matter what kind of complexion we are.

But if your originally skin got darkened overtime by sun expose or dirt this could help you pretty good. Remember i like to say it is more to the brightening effect than whitening.

So, back on the review. The bottle is not as big as i expected. I even wondered wether it contains 300ml of product or not at the first time so i checked on the back and it written 300ml. Pheww

Both of the products come in pump dispenser. This is very handy since you just need to pump pump pump. Hehe. The box is almost square and bulky, with the picture of white lily on front.
At back, mostly the explanations are dominated by korean words so it is useless for me to see it. The ingredient is written in english. So when i have spare time when taking a bath (while i wait for my hair mask pack) i compare the ingredient of the body wash with regular lifebuoy liquid soap.

I found the face shop contains such a little ingredients and most of them are plant extract. Well, i guess it's good enough for my sensitive skin. (i ever experienced rashes on my chest and neck from using lux whitening body wash. I was really bad and left such horrible scratch marks because it was so itchy. I cure it using raw aloe vera sap, the one that my mom plant on our backyard).

The product is a transparent liquid and It

produces less bubble foam than other soap. The smell is a very refreshing citrus (again like the innisfree) and disappear once i rinse it.

It leaves no sticky residue like dove soap (if you know what i meant) but it is not squeaky clean either. It's a perfect balance between them. I love it so much.

Now, the essence. The bottle is exactly the same as the body wash. If without the essence writting, i could not differ them. It has the same scents again.

Well, if i hear essence i thought it's gonna be like nivea serum texture. Still lotion but with faster absorbtion. But i was wrong, it is a milky color essence, the texture is similar to our face essence and it absorbs really fast. Just like face essence.

It leaves no greasy residue and one thing that i really appreciate, it doesn't feel greasy even when i splash it with water after that. I don't know maybe it penetrate into my skin 100%?

It makes my skin feels smoother. But it can't quench my skin's thirst yet. My body skin is super dry, but this is good enough, better than nothing.

For the effect, i can see a slightly brightening effect on my skin. So i guess it works but i just need to be patience.

I recommend this product for people who are looking for daily lotion without greasy feelings but for those who need extra moisture, this will not fulfill the hope.

Thank you very much for reading my blog, i'll write to you soon.

This is how the bottles lool like

review: tonymoly prestige carat lipstick spf 15 #1

Well today i will be reviewing a lipstick from tonymoly. I got this lipstick as a present and actually it has never cross my mind to buy lip product fro

m tonymoly but everything always has the first time right?

This lipstick is called tonymoly prestige carat lipstick. If i read a word of prestige, snail line will come to my mind (secret key prestige snail line hehe) and carat should be related with diamond? I'm not really sure about the meaning of the name and there are no description in the box that can help.

One thing i do noticed is the ingredient. It has a lot of ingredients just for a simple lipstick (it needs two sides of the carton box to write it down. If i have to judge, it contains too much (?) material for just a lipstick, range from vegetable oils (sunflower and friends) collagen, fish extract (?), and many fruit extracts (strawberry, sweet cherry, kiwi, etc) or maybe this is the meaning of prestige?

For the price, i do not know. And i do not dare to ask my friend hehe. The design is definitely simple, almost look cheap if without the gold circle on top. I couldn't say i like the design since it's all black and there are no writings at all. No one will know i'm wearing tony moly haha.

I got the first shade. It almost has the same shade with my memebox i'm lipstick but this one tends to look a bit more orangey. It lasts longer than my memebox evethough it's a palre shade.

I really like the smell, some what it smells fruity and very fresh.

It is a moist lipstick and i love moist lipstick. I don't need to exfoliate or putting any balm before the lipstick. I think it's emphasizing the lip care side

Overall i like the lipstick quiet much but i don't know, i just don't have any interest in purchasing the same line even though it has such a good quality. I do want to try the hyuna signature lipstick for the next couple of month, do tell me if you have tried it!

mind the pose, hehe no filter in this picture. The color looks nude

Thank you very much for reading this, see ya

i'm sorry for the imperfect bullet

the color is indeed peachy coral, very pretty

this is the box and the tube, elegance style

review: innisfree jeju volcanic black head out balm (melting)

Hi all, is there anyone who doesn't suffer from blackhead and white head problem? If it's you, then You will be one of the luckiest person on earth. Lol

I may not suffer in such a major case but i do have blackheads on my nose and cheek. Every morning when i check my face on the mirror with direct sunlight, i will see lots of blackhead on my nose and it has been a pain in the ass. (you know what i meant, you are trying to pinch it out with extractor but you know you can't never do that without creating big pores and inflamation)

So when i saw this product, i immediately attracted to it. It claims to melt down the blackheads with the jeju volcanic formula. Melt down? Seriously?

Ok, let's get started. First, as usual innisfree product always comes with recycle paper box and the writings are written using the soy ink. Somehow i really like the paper box. It screams mature and earth lovers.

The container is round and bulky. I didn't expect it could be so big, maybe a little bit bigger than innisfree sebum powder. But for a balm, it's quite big and can last for a very long time considering you can only use a little bit product everytime.

The scent is somewhat similar to my innisfree shampoo. Kinda like citrusy smell but some people describe it as herbal smell. The color is opaque white.

Now, the texture is pretty much like a balm or ointment that you spread on your chest when you have cold. It melts on skin directly when you apply it.

On the box it states that we need to massage it for 3 - 5 minutes and wash it with lukewarm water. But here i say, rub as long as you want and wipe it off with tissue, then you can rinse it with water.

It works like a magic on my skin, once i rub it for 2 minutes more or less, i couls feel tiny little granule coming out from my pores. And it is not from the balm itself since it doesn't contain any granule. When i pick it, the color is white, i guess it's the white head. So this product also works on white head too! (i don't need

to by the etude house zero sebum melting gel haha)

Now, time to wipe it off. I can see little black dots on the tissue but not as much as i want. I rinse it off and my nose area feels so smooth. Really really smooth. There are no visible blackheads anymore. Well, i need to check the morning mirror first.

So, the next morning, i still see some blackheads on my nose even though i cannot touch it. I guess it has sink deep into my pores and also it has hair. You know, blackheads with hair is the most difficult one. I think i should get medical treatment for that one day.

I give this product for my sister and it works amazingly on her face. She has tons of blackhead and whitehead on her nose until you can see the rough pattern with bare eyes. And when she wears makeup, it can't stick to her skin because of the blackhead.

This product removes let say 75 % of her black and white heads so yeah this is a wonderful product with such a cheap price. I bought it for Rp 70.000 but you can find it for rp. 50.000.

I really recommend this product for anyone really! So thank you for reading my blog, see you gals soon

This is the box and the container. It's very earthy don't you think?

this is how the balm looks like

review: the skinfood argan oil hair mask pack

Next i will be reviewing the skinfood argan silk hair mask. Actually this is quiet a popular product from skinfood. I ever tried the sample size one and i love it

Hair mask is different from conditioner since you need to let it sits on your head for about 5 minutes and it targets on giving noutishment on hair. You can also put iy on your scalp but you can't put conditioner on your scalp since we can never wash it thoroughly. And hair mask is also different from creambath. While creambath needs to be massage and leaves on for about 1 hour, hair mask only need five minutes to sit on your scalp.

Now about the product, The bottle is bigger than i thought. It contains 200ml of product. For the packaging, it is so skinfood. A little shabby and reminds me of old and dusty potion from a witch house hehe. But on the contrary, i love the packaging so much.

The smell is quiet heavy buttery scent. I don't really love the smell but that is the thing from skinfood, they always fail at product's scent. (they claim it to be natural, have you ever smell the black sesame mask? It was awful) hehehe

The product's consistency is yellow buttery cream and it doesn't leave that greasy conditioner feeling after being wash off.

It leaves my hair as smooth as silk and not weighing down.

It has the same problem as the innisfree, the scent doesn't linger for a long time. But it is such a nice hair product and i really recommend it for those who has rough, dry, and coarse hair (like mine) and cannot comb your hair smoothly until the very end.

I will not stop my hunting on hair product since i really need it and there are tons of product that i need to buy hehehe..

Well, that's all for my review today, thank you very much, see yaa

review: innisfree camellia essential shampoo

Today, i would like to share about my current favourite korean hair products. This is my first time reviewing hair product, other than cosmetics or face products. Actually, i had bought the products 3 weeks ago but i decided to do the review now because i just want to test the effectiveness of the products before doing the review.

The first one that i'm going to review is innisfree camellia essential shampoo. There are not much product's information that i can find either in the internet nor on the bottle itself. I simply bought this shampoo because it's innisfree hehe.

So before i continue i need to tell you the condition of my hair. I have dry hair and scalp. Sometimes it can get flaky and fall off like dandruff, but it is not dandruff since no anti dandruff shampoo that can cure it. (i have experience this since I was 7). Recently, i was going to cut my hair short. But the hair dresser always refuses to cut my hair because she said it's beautiful (lol) and there is no need for me to cut it short.

There are no local shampoos that give good result to my hair, and it was getting worse. It was so dry until i can't comb until the end of my hair and i hate it very much. I always tie a bun to hide the damaged hair and i tied it even when i sleep because i don't want to see how coarse and dry was my hair. It caused my hair to loss. And it kept loss until my hair got thinner.

One day, i came across an instagram page that sell many kinds of korean product and this innisfree shampoo was a new product in their shop. Without any hesitation i ordered it along with the skinfood argan silk hair mask.

The innisfree shampoo is housed in a very big red plastic bottle (300ml). With a simple minimalist design. The bottle cap is the click type one. I really like the design since it doesn't look cheap and the clean and minimalist design is really pretty. As the phrase says less is more.

The shampoo is liquid transparent gel (since it doesn't contain any coloring). The smell is a very refreshing citrus smell. I guess it's from the jeju orange peel.

When i checked the ingredients of shampoo, i can see that it contains low chemical substance and has more organic material in it than any other shampoo that i have ever tried.

For the result, i can feel my hair much more alive and without weighing down my hair. It gives my hair healthy glow and volume. So far, i quiet like it.

But it also has some drawbacks, the smell doesn't linger on my hair for a long time (while i really love the scent)

After a while, my hair tends to get used to it so the effectiveness isn't as good as the first time

In two days, i will feel my hair so weight and oily (i don't know why) and i need to clean it again.

Overall, it's a good shampoo but not good enough for me. (how do i find my true match shampoo, hello universe?)

So, that is my innisfree shampoo, i have another review on hair product after this so stay tune!

The design is very pretty and minimalist

this is the cap that i told you aboug

review: skinfood rice mask wash off

Today, i will be reviewing my all time favourite, the skinfood rice mask wash off. Oh my God i love this product so much. Well, let me tell you why!

It leaves my skin incredibly heavenly smooth. Really! You should give it a try, and you will never regret it! (so much for the promotional word hehehe)

I already smeared this mask on every people's face in my house and they are all love it.

This mask is mainly made of rice bran water and rice scrub. Even though it is named as a mask, i will say it is a scrub mask. Since the rice seed works as a scrub but It is not as abbrasive as the black sugar mask

It contains less scrub than the black sugar one and it is much more mild and gentle. This is a perfect choice for those who feel the black sugar mask is too painful to use. (i did feel it once ago)

It stated on the container to massage the mask for about 10-15 minutes. It is quiet a long time to continuously massage my face hehe, so i set timer on my phone to remind me when i should stop massaging.

Skinfood recommends to wash off with lukewarm water, but i find lukewarm water is not always available anytime when i'm using it (lazyness and due to the fact of it is not very easy to make lukewarm water since i need to boil water and then mix it with cool water to adjust the temperature) so i use the usual tap water.

The effect is really wonderful. It makes my face looks brighter (but not as bright as when i take off the innisfree mask sheet), heavenly smoother and it cleanse my pore pretty well.

I could notice the sebum on my face decreases and the bumb around my nose and cheek caused by sebum and blackheads feel so smooth like i just step out from face clinic

I ask everyone in my house to try this mask (i love to share my korean things to my house mate! Lucky for you who live with me! Haha) and they love it as well.

But my household servant does say that this mask cause irritation on her face due to the excessive scrub movement (well she scrub her face as hard face as she scrub the clothes haha) so you just need to be careful not to scrub to hard because it can irritate your skin.

This lately, i became quiet addicted to skinfood and i'm planning to buy another skinfood product. If you have any skinfood productvthat you like please tell me since i really need your insights..

Thank you very much for sparing your time reading this, see ya
