Product Haul: ETUDE HOUSE, MIZON, Holika Holika, Secretkey/Secret Kiss, TONYMOLY, Lioele, ElishaCoy, NATURE REPUBLIC, TOSOWOONG

I have to announce that I will quit blogging soon... I work now for a tax accountancy firm as accountant (full-time) and I'm too busy to write reviews. Furthermore, I'm just not motivated enough anymore to review the view products I buy.

I will concentrade more on my new job now and plan to go to Japan and Taiwan this year as well as back to Australia (and Singapore) next year. Of course I will buy more asian cosmetics while I visit these countries....

Anyway, one of my last blog entries will just be an overview of products I purchased but never reviewed.


[ETUDE HOUSE] Moistfull SUPER Collagen Multi Stick:
 The Moistfull SUPER Collagen Multi Stick from [ETUDE HOUSE] contains 58% SUPER COLLAGEN and can be applied on every part of the body.
I use it only on my face on areas which are often dry and flaky. The stick-type is light scented and does moisturize instantly. I apply it before my face cream.

[Holika Holika] Milky Veil Pore Cover B.B:
When I ordered [Holika Holika]'s Milky Veil Pore Cover B.B I thought that it would be a primer but later noticed that it is a BB cream.
This pore covering BB cream is available in one shade only which is a rather light beige.
The creamy texture is easy to spread and covers smaller pores quite well. Bigger pores are still visible, though.

[NATURE REPUBLIC] FRESH STEAM CREAM (oily skin):
 [NATURE REPUBLIC]'s FRESH STEAM CREAM is one of my favorite face creams. It contains Shea Butter which is good in moisturizing your skin and is available for oily skin what is perfect for me.
When I apply the cream my skin looks shiny and greasy first but after it got absorbed it doesn't feel or look oily anymore.

[MIZON] HYDRA-FULL SOLUTION - WATER VOLUME AQUA GEL CREAM:
 The HYDRA-FULL SOLUTION WATER VOLUME AQUA GEL CREAM from [MIZON] was also a quite good moisturizer.
This gel-type face cream is oil free and therefore also good for oily skin. It moisturized and made my skin more sleek. I often used it as a make-up base.

Some of the face cleanser I used in the past months...
[MIZON]'s PORE REFINE DEEP CLEANSING FOAM contains cooling menthol and some pore cleansing beads.

 [Secretkey]'s Honey Bee AC Control Foaming Cleanser and AC Control Emulsion are good for troubled/acne skin and gentle enough for sensitive skin. They released these products with a new design recently and I got another tube of the Foaming Cleanser as well as of the Spot Remover

 The Tea Tree Seed Foam Cleanser from [TONYMOLY] is quite cheap for the big tube. It's available in 3 kinds as well as make-up remover cleansing creams. I got the Tea Tree Seed one because I hope that it will be good for acne skin...

[Lioele] PORE CLEAN & TIGHTENING PACK:
 I really seldom buy products of [Lioele] but I got this PORE CLEAN & TIGHTENING PACK when I was looking for a new mud mask that cleanses my pores.
The greyish mask is easy to spread on my face but a little hard to wash off after it dried up.
My skin looks cleaner and mattyfied afterwards!

[ETUDE HOUSE] Dear Girls Be Clear BB Cream & Pact:
 I got the Be Clear Pact and Be Clear BB Cream of [ETUDE HOUSE]'s Dear Girls line already a while ago. I haven't used the powder pact till today but the BB Cream is quite nice.
The tube comes with a pump and the color of this creamy BB Cream is bright enough for my skin.

[ETUDE HOUSE] AC Clinic Intense Liquid Spot

Make-up, oily skin or hormones might end up in skin breakouts. To fight those I have used already so many different products but many either didn't really work or dried out my skin too much what is bad because that makes my skin itchy and flaky.
After using a few of [ETUDE HOUSE]'s AC Clinic products I also wanted to try out their new AC Clinic Intense Liquid Spot which is specially made for daily trouble care.

Description: Containing Salicylic Acid and Hinoki Cypress, this is a convenient liquid type trouble-care spot product with excellent absorbtion properties into any part of the body that needs special care.

 The green paper box contains the small green glass bottle which contains 25ml. On the boxing is the Korean and English description. The bottle itself comes with a light green twist-off lid and a cushion applicator underneath.
Like all AC Clinic products the Liquid Spot is non-comedogenic and has the 4 free formula (mineral oil, artificial color,...). It contains Alcohol, Water, Chamaecyparis Obtusa Water, Salicylic Acid, Saururus Chinensis Extract, Garlic Bulb Extract, Horse Chestnut Seed Extract, Ampelopsis Japonica Root Extract, Papaya Fruit Extract, Chamaecyparis Obtusa Leaf Extract, Onion Bulb Extract, Manintol, Caffeine, Zinc Gluconate, Glycerin, Fragrance and others.
The water-like Liquid Spot is colorless and has that strong herbal, medical scent you may know already from the other AC Clinic products. The product gets absorbed quite fast and can be used even under make-up. It doesn't dry out my skin as much as other acne creams do but I find that it needs a longer time until breakouts are dried-out and removed.
A definitely negative thing about the AC Clinic Intense Liquid Spot: The cushion applicator easily breaks - my one broke after about 2 weeks. I removed it and apply the liquid now with a Q-tip or my finger (not so hygienic, though).
All in all, it's a nice trouble care product for the day if only the sponge applicator would not break that fast (I read the same problem from other bloggers!).
How to use: Lightly dap to absorb into area that needs special care. Can be used repeatedly.

Price: About 10,- €/ US$13 
Bought at: eBay (rubyruby76) 

What I love: 
It gets absorbed fast and can be used under make-up. Great for the day!!
 
What I don’t like: 
The sponge applicator breaks fast! 

Will I buy this again? No, will use gels or creams again I guess!
