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.

[innisfree] green persimmon pore special kit

Sometimes I see an interesting product and don't dare to buy it because of its high price. In this case I'm always happy when I can get samples like the green persimmon pore special kit from [innisfree].
This skincare line is particularly suitable for people with enlarged pores and consists of the following products:

- pore toner
- pore pad
- pore essence
- pore pack&cream

The special kit contains the products in smaller sizes - the pads are not included in this kit, though.
The samples come inside a small paper box and the whole line is kept in turquoise and white colors. The special kit has no english description while I'm sure the full sizes got it.
pore toner (15ml):
This toner, formulated with pure Jeju green persimmon extracts, helps manage pores while the ethanol-free formula softly refines your skin texture.

pore essence (10ml):
This essence, formulated with pure Jeju green persimmon extracts, helps manage pores while the moisture popping essence gently enwraps your skin, leaving it feeling soft and smooth.

pore pack&cream (5ml):
This pack & cream, formulated with pure Jeju green persimmon extracts, helps manage pores while the 'Pore Re-Forming Technology' builds up a pore tightening barrier, leaving your skin feeling smooth and sleek.
All products have a very nice scent, kinda fruity and yet citrus-like.

The toner is colorless and leaves a refreshing and cooling feeling on my skin. 
Apply it with a cotton pad after washing your face.

The pore essence has a watery consistency and a whitish color. It moisturizes my skin, slightly tightens my pores and mattyfies my skin.
Just apply it right after the toner!

The pack&cream is a 2-in-1 product: it can be used as a face cream or as sleeping pack.
When using the white gel-cream as face cream just apply an appropriate amount to your face (especially on areas with enlarged pores).
As sleeping pack, apply the product to your whole face before going to sleep and wash it off the next morning.
Since I have only the special kit I can't tell if these products really improve ones skin texture. 
I like the toner because of its cooling effect and the essence/ cream makes my pores smaller looking and my skin less shiny.

Price (sample kit): around 4,50,- €/ US$6
 
Bought at: eBay (rubyruby76)  
 

What I love:
The cooling effect of the toner and the matte finish of the essence. The scent is also quite nice!   
What I don’t like:
Nothing yet!  

Will I buy this again? Might consider of getting the toner as full size (US$17).
