[SKINFOOD] Special Cleansing Travel Kit

Sometimes I like to get a Travel Kit or Trial Kit! Not only because it is mostly cheaper than the full size product but also because it conatins more than a simple sample (pouch). This way I can try out a specific product better.
A few weeks ago I found at eBay the [SKINFOOD] Special Cleansing Travel Kit which contains the following:
- Black Sugar Deep Cleansing Cream
- Egg White Pore Foam
- Glacier Water Multi Gel
- Green Tea Deo Wash -For body-
- Citron Scalp Care Shampoo

I mainly got it coz of the Glacier Water Multi Gel but some of the other things looked interesting, too.

The 5 products came in a small travel/ vanity bag which is partially brown with a zipper on top.

The tubes looking all the same, just the print on the front is different for each product. Each tube contains 20ml and has a twist-off lid.

The descriptions on the back are always in korean only.

Black Sugar Deep Cleansing Cream:

Description: The mineral-rich Brazilian black sugar in the cleansing cream leaves your skin moist after washing and gently removes the dense make-up.

The make-up removing Deep Cleansing Cream has a creamy consistency, a light brown color and a slight sweet scent. I used it a few times now and it removed my make-up quite well without drying out my skin too much or burning in my eyes.

I used the following (left to right):
Eyeshadow, Eyebrow Concealer, Eyeliner/ Kajal, Mascara, Lipgloss, Lipstick, BB Cream

After massaging the cleansing cream over my skin (above) and after removing the residues with a tissue (below):

You can see that there is still the eyeliner/ kajal visible but it was completely gone after washing it off with warm water afterwards.

Egg White Pore Foam:

Description: A pore-refining cleanser with egg white extract that deep-cleanses pores with white foam.

[Egg white Story] Egg white, enriched with alumin, promotes firmer skin and smaller pores.

This cleansing foam with egg white extract belongs to the same product line as the Egg White Pore Mask I reviewed here.

The consistency is thick & creamy with a soft scent. It slightly tightens my pores and that's what I like about this product. I would get it as a full size but I own too many other facial cleansers already.

Green Tea Deo Wash -For body-:

Description: A cleansing body wash containing green tea extract is specially formulated to fight against unpleasant odors with its rich foam and perfect cleansing properties while refreshing green tea scent keeps your body refreshing.

The Green Tea Deo Wash was a product I wanted to buy before already but it's too expensive for me (US$24 for 400ml). So, I was more than happy to get a smaller size with this Special Cleansing Travel Kit.

The colorless liquid soap has a nice green tea scent...that's almost all I can say. I don't feel anything special about it. It's like every other body wash/ shower gel I used before.

Citron Scalp Care Shampoo:

Description: Citron Scalp Care Shampoo is free of 4 additives (colorings, paraffin, ethanol, benzophenone) and contains Citron extracts marked by its beautiful citrus aroma. The pure fresh lather cleanses your scalp.

[Citron Story] Citron, so popular as to be used for baths for its beauty ingredients, makes your scalp healthy and your hair beautiful.

In this colorless shampoo I was less interested! It has a nice fresh citrus scent and surely cleanses my scalp and hair as well but I still prefer other hair care products.
I need to use a conditioner, though, otherwise my long hair is hard to comb.

This Citron Scalp Care Shampoo might be good for those with dry or normal hair.

Glacier Water Multi Gel (Toning & Soothing):

Description: A glacier water-infused lightweight moisture gel that helps tone and soothe skin. Also can be used as a facial gel, overnight mask and body gel.

[Glacier Water Story] Pure glacier water is naturally alkalescent and enriched with oxygen, potassium, calcium, magnesium and other beneficial minerals.

The main reason why I got this Travel Kit is this Glacier Water Multi Gel (Toning & Soothing). I reviewed the Gel Mask already here and now I can try out the Multi Gel as well.
The clear gel is very moisturizing and refreshing but it starts to tightens my skin after it got absorbed. Therefore, I need to use a moisturizer over it.
Somehow, I find it vey similar to a aloe vera gel. Still a nice product and good for people with oily skin or after sunbathing.

[ETUDE HOUSE] milk talk Body Wash *Banana, Choco & Steam Milk*

When I was reading another blog I saw a pic of a body wash from [ETUDE HOUSE]. It seemed to be new and I immedtiately felt in love with that. I'm talking about the new milk talk Body Wash! You can get it in 5 delicious flavours! I got my favorites Steam Milk, Banana and Choco. The others are Apple and Strawberry.

Of the shower sponges I purchased Banana and Choco since Steam Milk was always sold out.

Description: Moisturizing body wash supplies rich foam, texture and fragrant scent for soft, cleansed skin. Milk extract makes moist body and sweet scent makes feeling better.

First, I was a bit dissapointed when I got the body washes coz they are so small. Nevertheless, each bottle contains 200ml and now I find them kinda cute, too.

Each of the milk talk Body Wash comes in a round bottle which feels somehow like a rubber bottle but is probably made of soft plastic. The flip-top lid is white plastic.

Steam Milk:

The bottle of the Steam Milk Body Wash is white with a light blue print.

The consistency is not too thick, just like many shower creams/ gels are. It looks whitish and has the soft scent of milk and baby powder.

Choco Milk:

Choco Milk comes in a light brown bottle with a chocolate bar print. 

It has the same consistency as Steam Milk but the color is brownish, plus the scent of chocolate milk. So yummy!!

Banana Milk:

My 3rd favorite flavour got a yellow bottle with a banana print. Of course, it also has a great scent - the scent of a banana milk shake.

It has the same consistency as the other two again but a yellowish color.

The Choco shower sponge is still on the way to me, so I can show you just the Banana one:

Each sponge is individually packed in a plastic bag.

This shower sponge is yellow and got a small banana on top. The choco sponge is brown with a chocolate bar on top.

You can attach the sponges on top of the body wash bottles what is a cute idea.

How to use: Dispense product on wet bath sponge/puff and lather. Use sponge/puff to massage and lather body. Rinse with water. 

It can be used as bubble bath also (15ml).

Price: around 10,- €/ US$13 (Body Wash); around 4,- €/ US$5 (Shower Sponge)

Bought at: eBay (cosmetic.love & superoutlet-2009)  

 

What I love: 
Everything: the small design, the sponge and of course the flavours.

 

What I don’t like:  

There is nothing I dislike!!

Will I buy this again? I would! Still think about getting Strawberry Milk.

[ETUDE HOUSE] PETIT BIJOU Cotton Snow *SOFT BODY SET & EAU DE TOILETTE*

I always love to use a nice shower gel and so I came to PETIT BIJOU Cotton Snow from [ETUDE HOUSE]. It says "Smell like a Baby"! 

I was curious about that and that's why I purchased it. At first I got the TRAVEL KIT and then the SOFT BODY SET which contains the full size of the BODY WASH and BODY LOTION plus, a smaller size of the CARE CREAM.

In addition I purchased the 'Cotton Snow' Perfume!

The products are free of Sulfates, Paraben, Soap, Color and Alcohol (except the EAU DE TOILETTE).

 

The SOFT BODY SET comes in a big box which is white and light blue with a cute design.

Inside the box are the products:

SOFT BODY WASH:

Description: This delicate body cleanser is formulated with Milk Protein, Ivy extract and the Petit Bijou fragrance to soften and relieve stressed skin.

The Body Wash comes in a 300ml bottle and is white with a blue pump. 

It has the same design as the box!

It's a liquid soap which is a bit whitish and smells great!!

MOISTURE BODY LOTION:

Description: This delicate body lotion is formulated with milk protein, ivy extract and the Petit Bijou fragrance to soften and relieve stressed skin.

The Body Lotion comes in the same bottle as the Body Wash just with a white pump.

The Lotion is white and absorbs quite fast on my skin. It has the same fragrance as the other 'Cotton Snow' products: A soft baby powder!!

INTENSIVE CARE CREAM:

Description: This delicate body cream is formulated with Hyaluronic Acid Sodium, milk protein, chamomile and the Petit Bijou fragrance to soften and relieve stressed skin.

The INTENSIVE CARE CREAM comes in a small white tube and contains 50ml. 

The design is the same again.

The consistency is a little bit thicker than from the Body Lotion but absorbs fast as well. This cream is good for using on very dry parts like knees, elbows etc.

EAU DE TOILETTE:

The Perfume comes in a small box with the same design as the 'SOFT BODY SET'. 

The product itself is in a cute glass bottle with a silver pump. 30ml are inside!

The scent is called as 'Fresh Powdery' and is a bit stronger as from the Body Wash and Lotion. But I love it so much!

If you dislike those baby powder fragrances then you shouldn't get this one here, though.

Price: around 27,- €/ US$35 (SOFT BODY SET), around 18,- €/ US$22 (EAU DE TOILETTE)

Bought at: eBay (nature-republic, zinopark)  

What I love: 

Definitely the scent!! 

What I don’t like: 

There is nothing I don't like.

Will I buy this again? I would!!! Not sure about all products but at least one of them.
