[TONYMOLY] Red Appletox Honey Cream

I always look for face cream which are moisturizing and either good for sensitive or oily/ troubled skin. Last time I got the Red Appletox Honey Cream from [TONYMOLY]. I used a few samples of this cream before and finally got the full size as well. 

This cream is good for people with troubled skin which tend to be dry or sensitive sometimes.

Description: Sticky texture relaxes the muscle membrane to give elasticity.

The container of this face cream looks like a red apple which reminds me a lot of products from [baviphat]. It's a round container made of plastic with a twist-off lid. It contains 80ml!

Under the lid is a second white cover to protect the cream. A small spatula is also included which makes it more hygienic to take the product out.

The consistency of the Red Appletox Honey Cream is kinda jelly-like, a bit sticky and has a yellowish color. It smells super yummy like fresh apples!

I use this cream in the evening as a night cream. I spread it over my face and pat until it got absorbed. It moisturizes well and my skin is less oily than with other face creams.

The main ingredients are the following ones:

Manuka Honey Extract (from New Zealand): Immunity and anti-bacterial effect.
Royal Jelly Extract: Cooling down skin trouble, good for sensitive skin.
Propolis: Antioxide Effect.
Black Honey: Rich minerals and amino-acid. Moisturized and nourish skin effects keep your skin elastic and moist.
Apple Acid Ingredients: Smoothing skin.

 How to use: Spread enough amount on your face, tap slightly until it gets absorbed completely.

Price (each): around 12,- €/ US$16

What I love:  

It moisturizes and makes my skin less oily. The scent is very nice, too.

 

What I don’t like: 

There is nothing I don't like!
 

Will I buy this again? I think I would!

[ETUDE HOUSE] Peel so good foam cleanser *Enzyme Peel*

After I finished the Apple Soul AC Therapy Cleansing Foam I started to use the Green tea Salt Mask Foam but omg, my skin started to burn so badly. I currently suffer from dry and red skin again and that salt mask foam (used together with the clarisonic Mia brush) is too harsh for my sensitive/ dry skin. It felt as if it got burned! Immediately after I rinsed my face with clear water I applied the Yogurt Wash-off Pack with kiwi. Afterwards my skin felt a lot better!

Because of that I switched to another cleansing foam: the Peel so good foam cleanser from [ETUDE HOUSE]. I got #2 Enzyme Peel which is the medium strength one.

This foam cleanser is available in three (3) strength:

- #1 Natural Peel: * light (yellow)

- #2 Enzyme Peel: *** medium (blue)

- #3 Diamond Peel: ***** strong (pink)

Description: Peel so Good? Feel so Good~ Cleanse & Peel

Enzyme formulated facial foam cleanser supplies a thorough cleanse with a smooth peel.

The Enzyme Peel comes in a tube with different shades of blue and contains 130ml.

The flipt-top lid is white and the product is easy to squeeze out.

This foam cleanser contains Enzyme and Hyaluronic Acid. 

The clear gel-like consistency has some white particles inside for a fine scrub. I feel that this peeling is gentle enough for my dry/ sensitive skin. If you have normal skin you can try out the Diamond Peel but for me it might be too strong.

The scent is fresh - nothing sweet or fruity!

Since I got oily skin which is also sensitive and becomes dry & flakey sometimes, I need a gentle peeling instead of a harsh facial scrub. Therefore, this one is a good choice!

The exfoliating effect is ok and this foam cleanser can be used every evening.

How to use: Apply to wet face and lather. Massage thoroughly and rinse with warm water.

Avoid contact with eyes!

Price: around 10,- €/ US$13

What I love:  

The peeling is gentle enough for everyday use! Good for my oily/ sensitive/ dry skin.

What I don’t like: 

There is nothing I dislike!

Will I buy this again? I'm not sure! Maybe I will try out Natural Peel.

[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.

[SKINFOOD] Black Sesame Hot Mask

A face mask from [SKINFOOD] I use as peeling occasionally is the Black Sesame Hot Mask.
This heating mask is highly moisturizing and provides deep cleansing. I would recommend it for almost all skin types except for very sensitive skin.

Description: Warm heat mask with salt and sugar powder to deep cleanse wastes in rough skin with accumulated keratin and with nutritious black sesame powder to make smooth skin.

Like the Rice Mask and the Egg White Pore Mask the Black Sesame Hot Mask is inside a medium-sized milky white but still translucent container. As I said before already, I like those round containers coz they can be stacked up. You get 110g of this peeling mask!

I think that underneath the twist-off lid/ cap was a second cover again but I threw it away already.

Inside the container the mask has a thick and slightly sticky consistency. When I massage it over my moist face it gets a rather oil-like texture. I don't feel a strong heating effect, though.

The color of the mask is charcoal grey/ brownish but looks also a bit clear on the skin. I can see the black sesame seeds which exfoliate the skin. The scent is from the sesame as well.

Some ingredients of the Black Sesame Hot Mask are Sucrose (Sugar), Glycerine, Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Powder, Ether Myristate, Lanolin Wax, Dimethicone, Methyl Paraben and Parfum.

The peeling effect is acceptable but could be better, though. I also hoped that it will heat up more. What I don't like is that the mask becomes rather oily on the skin.

How to use: After washing, apply to wet face, avoiding eye areas. Massage in circular motion, focusing on dry areas, wait 3-5 minutes, and then wash off with warm water.
If used in a hot environment such as a bathroom or sauna, mask can overheat.

Price: around 9,- €/ US$12   
Bought at: eBay (ideaseller_kr)  

What I love: 
There is nothing I really love on this mask.

What I don’t like:  

That the mask becomes oily and doesn't heat up much.

Will I buy this again? No, I don't think I will.

[baviphat] Peach All-in-one Peeling Gel

[baviphat] was one of the first korean cosmetic brands I tried out and I liked them because of their natural ingredients and cute designs. Unfortunately, I hardly find any new stuff by this brand at eBay or other shops outside Korea. And I would like to try out some things like the INDI GIRL WATER CREAM STEAM or the Sunny Lady A.C Care SUN.

Anyway, the first face peeling I got was the [baviphat] Peach All-in-one Peeling Gel. A face peeling/ scrub is necessary for me because my -sometimes- dry skin also becomes flakey.

You can also get a Lip Balm and a Waterful Cream from this Peach line.

Description: Exfoliating Effect + Pore Care + Brightening Effect

Gommage type Peeling Gel effectively removes dead skin cells and wastes inside pores by containing a natural cellulose ingredient.

Typically for [baviphat] products are the cute packaging. The All-in-one Peeling Gel comes in a round container which looks like a peach: mainly beige colored, a bit pink on top and a green leaf. The container conatins 100g and has a twist-off lid.

As some other products this one here also got a second cover to protect the Peeling Gel. The included spoon makes it easy to take out the gel, plus it's more hygienic.

The main ingredient is Peach Extract which exfoliate the skin and removes wastes. It's good for all skin types coz it doesn't contain harsh grains or beads like some other face scrubs.

The consistency is gel-like but also looks kinda clumpy. It feels like there is a lot of water inside, too. You have to apply it to your dry face and rub it off by massaging it over your skin. Then wash your face with warm water.

The All-in-one Peeling Gel shall smell like peaches but I don't like it. The fragrance this peeling left behind after washing it off my skin is slighty better, though.

The Exfoliating Effect is not the best but still ok. It removes some of my dead skin cells.
 I use it when my skin is not in the condition for a more harsh facial scrub.
On the other side I'm happy that I almost finished this product coz I really don't like its scent.

How to use: After washing the face, apply suitable amount onto dry face except for eyes and lips. Gently massage the face for exfoliating, then wash it off with warm water.

Price: around 10,- €/ US$13 

Bought at: eBay (BELLOGIRL) 

What I love: 

The design and that the peeling is gentle enough for all skin types. 

What I don’t like: 

The scent!!    

Will I buy this again? No, I won't!
