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] Face Conditioning CREAM

When I wear make-up it always gets oily or flaky after a few hours. Because of that I'm constantly looking for products that shall reduce sebum secretion yet are still moisturizing. 
I have used different primers and make-up fixing sprays so far but nothing really satisfied me and so I got now [ETUDE HOUSE]'s latest product: the Face Conditioning CREAM.

As far as I know there are no more products in this range!

Description: This is a quick and easy makeup boosting cream that smoothly conditions skin with its light and soft texture for a makeup-ready complexion. SPF25/PA++

The Face Conditioning CREAM comes inside a pearl-white paper box with a mirror print on the front. The description and ingredient list is also in Korean and English on the box.
The product itself is inside a white tube which contains 75g and comes with a silver twist-off lid.
Ingredients:
Beside Coconut Oil, Olive Fruit Oil and Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil it also contains Water, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Butylene Glycol, Phenyl Trimethicone, Glycerin, Cyclopentasiloxane, Arbutin, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Titanium Dioxide, Cetyl Alcohol, Cyclohexasiloxane, Sodium Hyaluronate, Silica, Lipase, Chitosan, Alcohol, Xanthan Gum, Disodium Edta, Adenosine, Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance and some more.
The light-scented cream which has Whitening, Anti-Wrinkle and Skin Balancing properties has a creamy consistency and a white color. When I first saw the white cream I was afraid that it will make my face too white but when I apply just a bit and spread it well it brightens up my skin only. Asians might like the whitening effect way more I believe!
[ETUDE HOUSE] recommend to use the Face Conditioning CREAM right after using a toner when you have oily skin and after a face moisturizer when you have rather dry skin.
I have oily skin with dry areas, so I prefer to use a normal face cream before using this product.
I mainly apply it on my T Zone and till now I kinda like it. It doesn't keep my skin oil-free and moisturized for the whole day, though, but my make-up lasts longer and doesn't look as greasy as without this cream.
How to use: After applying toner, spread a certain amount of Face Conditioning Cream evenly onto face.

Price: About 11,- €/ US$15
Bought at: eBay (f2plus1) 

What I love:
My make-up lasts longer! 

What I don’t like: 
The white color because I personally don't need whiter skin. 

Will I buy this again? Not sure yet! Since I use only a little amount I think the tube might last for awhile.
