[baviphat] Natural Pure Peach Facial Foam

One of the first cleansing foams I purchased from a Korean brand was [baviphat]'s Natural Pure Peach Facial Foam. I got it back in 2011 but just started to use it a week ago!
You can get different kinds of the Facial Foam, as well as Cleansing Creams for make-up removal and Shower Gels.

Cleansing Creams:
- Natural Pure Peach Cleansing Cream
- Natural Pure Aloe Drop Cleansing Cream
- Natural Pure Avocado Cleansing Cream
- Natural Pure Lemon Cleansing Cream
Facial Foams:
- Natural Pure Peach Facial Foam
- Natural Pure Aloe Drop Facial Foam
- Natural Pure Avocado Facial Foam
- Natural Pure Lemon Facial Foam
Bubble Showers:
- Natural Pure Peach Fresh Up Bubble Shower
- Natural Pure Avocado Relaxing Bubble Shower
- Natural Pure Lemon Brightening Bubble Shower
- Natural Pure Soft Milk Relaxing Bubble Shower

I got the peach one because at eBay they said that this cleansing foam controls sebum and can reduce the pores size. But it's also very good for dry skin!

Description: A luxurious facial cleanser formulated with peach extract to help keep skin soft and well-hydrated with regular use. Recommended for dry and mature skin types.
With 200ml content, the Natural Pure Peach Facial Foam is the biggest cleansing foam I own. Other facial cleansers usually got just 120~150ml.
The squeeze-out tube is kept in a very light yellowish-beige, with a orange sticker around it which got a 'peach' print on it. As many cleansing foams inside a tube it has a simple flip-top lid!
The description is completely in korean but I found some informations online. Therefore, I can tell you the main ingredients of the Peach Facial Foam:
Peach: Sebum Control, Dead Skin Cell Removal, Skin Protection
Japanese Apricot: Anti-microbial Effect, Dead Skin Cell Removal
Cucumber: Elastic Skin, Minimizing Pores
Portulaca: Cleansing Effect, Anti-inflammatory Effect
The white foam has a thick & creamy consistency with a soft peachy scent. I like that the scent is not too fruity and overpowering.
I use this cleanser currently in the morning only coz of its moisturizing effect. It doesn't dry out my skin as much as some other soapy cleansers do. All in all, a nice facial foam for daily use but not really the right one for very oily skin!
How to use: Squeeze out a small amount of cleanser onto palm and rub hands together to create a generous lather. Apply lather on skin and gently massage onto face. Rinse thoroughly and then pat skin dry.

Price: around 11,- €/ US$14  
Bought at: eBay (bello-girl)        
    
What I love: 
The soft scent and that it doesn't dry out my skin too much.
      
What I don’t like: 
Nothing at the moment!    

Will I buy this again? The product isn't too bad but I won't buy it again!

[ETUDE HOUSE] AQUA CURE Facial Mist II *Chamomile water*

Yesterday I finally got the keys for my new apartment. I'm happy about that but I'm also scared. Not just because of living completely on my own now (used to live with family, boyfriend or housemates) but also because of the money. Can't buy everything I want from now on until I got a new and better paied job. 
Because of that, I won't have much time for blogging now. I will be almost everyday in my apartment to renovate it.

Anyway, today I will review another facial mist I got a while ago. It's the AQUA CURE Facial Mist II Chamomile water from [ETUDE HOUSE]. This mist is available as Vitamin water and Bamboo water, too!

Description: Skincare formulated with Alaskan Glacial Mineral Water to supply cooling moisture and essential skin nourishment. Facial moisture spray supplies anti-inflammatory efficacy, minerals and cool sensation to skin.
The facial mist is packed in a orange-coloured yet translucent plastic box. The description on it is in Korean and English.
The pump bottle has the same color as the packaging and contains 100ml. The pump looks blueish and is easy to use!
The Chamomile water mist contains the following ingredients:
Water, Alcohol, Glycerin, Anthemis Nobilis (Chamomile) Flower Extract, Arnica Montana Flower Extract, Gentiana Lutea (Yellow Gentian) Root Extract, Artemisia Absinthium (Wormwood) Extract, Achillea Millefolium (Yarrow) Extract, Grapefruit Peel Extract, Olive Fruit Oil, Fragrance and others.
One thing I noticed right after checking out the product is that the mist contains oil. I can see the oil swimming inside! I hope that it won't make my face more oily!
The product itself is colorless and -of course- watery. After I sprayed it on my skin it began to smell like chamomile
It refreshes well - the main reason why I use those facial mists, especially during summer time.
I got Chamomile water coz it says it has an anti-inflammatory effect and that might be good for my sensitive/ troubled skin.
How to use: Hold bottle 15~20cm distance from face when spraying. Spray mist over facial surface to supply moisture and refreshment to skin.
Avoid contact with eyes!

Price (each): around 10,- €/ US$12.50 
Bought at: eBay (rubyruby76)    

What I love:  
The refreshing and cooling feeling even though it's just temporarily.

What I don’t like: 
Nothing yet! But I hope the oil inside the mist won't make my face more oily. 

Will I buy this again? I would like to try out Bamboo water as well. That one supplies amino acids and vitamins to the skin.
