[ETUDE HOUSE] Like 20 (twenty) *EYE CONCENTRATE*

Since I'm already 30 I start using some anti-aging products to prevent my skin of getting wrinkles. For my face I still use products for oily and trouble skin only but for my eye area I get creams that help to firm the skin and reduce fine lines. From [ETUDE HOUSE] I got the COLLAGEN moistfull firming eye cream a while ago which I actually liked and now I have their Like 20 (twenty) EYE CONCENTRATE.
The Like 20 (twenty) line consits of the following products:
- ESSENTIAL EMULSION
- EYE CONCENTRATE
- BOOSTER ESSENCE
- FINISHING CREAM
- ALL-DAY CREAM PACT
- SKIN CARE KIT

Description: This is an eye cream that provides moisture to the dry eye area with its smooth application for a firm eye area free of wrinkles.

All products of the Like 20 (twenty) line are kept in white and violet/lilac colors what I find really nice. The EYE CONCENTRATE is inside a white container with a pump on top and a clear lid. It contains 30 ml!

Beside Ceramide and Murumuru Oil this eye cream also contains Water, Glycerin, Castor Seed Oil, Shea Butter, Beeswax, Carnauba Wax, Cocoa Extract, Fragrance, Alcohol and more.

The yellowish-white eye concentrate has a light creamy consistency and a soft scent.

I use one pump for each eye and apply it twice a day. It's a very smooth cream and gets absorbed quite fast. My eye area feels moisturized but I can't tell if it really helps in firming the skin. I don't think that a product works that fast - maybe when I constantly use it over a long time. Still, I hope that it will at least prevent my skin of getting wrinkles or fine lines caused by dry skin.

How to use: Dispense certain amount onto eye area before applying cream, gently dabbing and absorbing with fingertips. Can be applied onto other areas that need care (mouth area etc.).

[Holika Holika] 3" seconds Starter Collagen

When I finished the 3" seconds Starter Hyaluronic Acid (reviewed it here) I wasn't sure if I will buy another one or not. Then I saw that [Holika Holika] released the Vita Complex one which I found very interesting but after reading that it brightens the skin tone I decided that it would be better to get the 3" seconds Starter Collagen instead.

Collagen helps to moisturize and firm the skin!

Description: Collagen and Trehalose makes moisturized and elastic skin condition by firming and moisturizing the skin. Hydrolyzed Collagen keeps elastic and moisturized skin condition for a long time. Trehalose has powerful moisturizing effect that protects skin cells.

Like the Hyaluronic Acid Starter it comes in a translucent bottle with a white pump and a lid.

The bottle of the Collagen Starter is pinkish instead of blue. 

The content is with 150ml the same!

Beside the sugar Trehalose, which can be found in cactus plants and protects dry skin from drying out, it also contains 10% Collagen. The Marine Collagen helps to keep the skin smooth and wrinkle-free. 

The clear, gel-like consistency is slightly runny and a bit scented. It does moisturize well, absorbs fast and makes my skin more smooth.

Compared with the Hyaluronic Acid Starter, the Collagen one keeps my skin longer moisturized - even after it got completely absorbed by my skin.

I use the 3" seconds Starter Collagen every morning after washing my face and before using a toner/ skin. I like this product coz it protects my skin from drying out after using a cleansing foam. Hopefully it will also help to keep my skin wrinkle-free - that's why I mainly use products containing collagen!

How to use: Use it before toner/ skin. Apply appropriate amount on face and pat until absorbed. Apply it asap after washing your face (best within 3 seconds)!!

Price: around 15,50,- €/ US$19 
Bought at: eBay (luckygoldstar)        

What I love: 

It protects my skin from drying out (after washing my face) and makes it smoother! 

What I don’t like: 

Nothing yet!

Will I buy this again? I'm not sure but it could be! Maybe they will release another version again.

[MISSHA] M PERFECT COVER B.B CREAM *NO.21 Light Beige*

Whenever I look for new BB Creams or check out eBay sellers feedbacks I see that many people get the M PERFECT COVER B.B CREAM from [MISSHA]. Usually I wouldn't buy it because I'm not really satisfied with their products and these mostly give me breakouts. But it seems that the M PERFECT COVER B.B CREAM is most popular and so I wanted to try it out as well.

I got No.21 Light Beige and just the small 20ml size.

Description: MISSHA M Perfect Cover B.B Cream offers a novel skincare concept with B.B cream, which lightens skin tone by healing visible wrinkles and blemishes with excellent skin-cover ability, and prevents skin aging through effective whitening and anti-wrinkle properties. SPF42 PA+++

The box is dark red and gold/silver and has a reflecting film, so it can work as a mirror, too. The 20ml size comes in a flat tube with a twist-off lid. The tube is burgundy red and silver like the packaging. The 50ml size of this BB Cream got a pump tube.

The M PERFECT COVER B.B CREAM contains natural ingredients that don't damage or irritate the skin.

The main ingredients are Rosemary, Camomile, Hyaluronic Acid and Ceramide. 

It conceals any types of pigmentations or discoloration areas on the face including acne, couperose, vitiligo, age spots, sun spots and dark circles.

The consistency is neither too thick nor too watery. It's easy to work with and it covers my smaller impurities/ imperfections quite well. I still need to use a concealer or a compact powder to cover bigger skin blemishes, though.
No.21 Light Beige fits my natural skin tone well but I find that it becomes darker after a while.
This BB Cream is slightly scented and I like the smell. What I don't like is the oil control! I'm not sure if the M PERFECT COVER B.B CRAM got any oil control but my skin starts to get shiny after just 1~2 hours. That's really bad when you have oily skin like me.

In conclusion, I can say that this BB Cream works good but the oil control is bad. I would recommend it rather to people with dry or normal skin. I will avoid to use it at work, parties or whenever I'm outside for more than 3 hours.
I didn't notice breakouts yet and hopefully won't in the future.

Price (20ml): around 8,- €/ US$10 

Bought at: eBay (BELLOGIRL) 

What I love: 
It covers skin blemishes quite well but not all, though.

What I don’t like: 

It has no oil control. My skin becomes shiny after just a few hours.   

Will I buy this again? Nope, I look for BB Creams with better oil control.

[ETUDE HOUSE] COLLAGEN moistfull *firming eye cream*

I'm 28 already but people still keep saying I look much younger - like 18~22. I don't have many wrinkles yet, just my eye area got some fine lines. Because of that I started to use eye creams! I finished the EYE'S CREAM stick and use now the COLLAGEN moistfull firming eye cream. This product line is from [ETUDE HOUSE] as well. I wanted the Secret Time Total Eye Balm first but I got told by the seller that it's sold out in Korea.

Anyway, the 'COLLAGEN moistfull' line consists of the following products:

- BB Cream

- Balm

- essence-in pact (Face Powder Pact)

- essence-in primer

- essence-in base

- first essence

- facial freshener

- emulsion

- cream

- enriched cream

- firming eye cream

- facial mist

As you can see, there is quite a lot of stuff available! I got a trial size of the freshener and emulsion, too.

Description: Adhesive, jelly texture gives firmness to the eye area, containing Baobab seed oil with abundant nutrients and moisture to nurture the dry skin area surrounding eyes.

This eye cream is smaller than face creams and comes in a paper box which is colored in light beige and pinkish-orange. It's a nice color, not too strong!

The product itself is inside a small round (glass) jar and contains 25ml. The jar and the lid has the same beige/ pinkish-orange color as the packaging, just that the bottom part is shimmering as well.

As many other creams this one also got a second cover underneath the lid. This cover is thinner than from other products, though.

The white gel-cream is very easy to spread over my eye area and I just need a tiny weeny bit.

The fragrance of the cream is okay! It reminds me of the 'Oil-free Control Cream' [THE FACE SHOP]. Might be a floral scent but I'm not really sure about that.

I will use this firming eye cream mostly before I go to sleep and just sometimes during daytime. Since a little bit of this cream is enough I think it will last me for a while. 

Of course, I hope that it will improve my eye area, too. The EYE'S CREAM stick I used before didn't change anything!

Price: around 15,50,- €/ US$20 
Bought at: eBay (zinopark)    

What I love:   

The small amount of cream I need + it moisturize my eye area.

What I don’t like: 

There is nothing I dislike atm.

Will I buy this again? Will decide that after I finished this cream.
