[ETUDE HOUSE] Lip Perfume Breath Mist *Grape Fruits*

Since I work most of the time as a SA (shop assistant) and need to talk to customers, I'm always a bit concerned about my breath. Therefore, I purchased with my last order the small Lip Perfume Breath Mist from [ETUDE HOUSE]. I got #2 Grape Fruits, the other flavors available are #1 Peach and #3 Apple.

Description: Oral care mouth spray desinfects and freshens breath with fruit flavor.
The spray is kinda small and thin and should fit in almost every pocket or bag. It comes in a translucent bottle with a pinkish-orange spray pump. The bottle contains 7ml!
The spray is colorless and alcohol free! #2 Grape Fruits smells like grapefruit and tastes like those strong cough drops I take when my throat hurts. It's not a bad item but the effect doesn't last too long when I use just one (1) pump.
How to use: Spray mist into mouth for breath freshening. 

Price: around 5,50,- €/ US$7 
Bought at: eBay (zinopark)  

What I love: 
The small size and it freshens my breath for a short time.

What I don’t like: 
There is nothing I dislike yet!! 

Will I buy this again? No, I don't think so!

[Holika Holika] fairy water Pure Fresh *Toner & Oil Paper Cream*

The last few days I wasn't really active in my blog because I still recover from a cold but I see that I got already 61 followers. I'm quite happy about that so thanks to everyone!!

Since I get most of my Asian cosmetic over eBay I noticed that many seller don't have the stuff they sell in-stock. They usually buy it after you ordered it. [Holika Holika] released last year a mild skincare line called fairy water. This product line is available as Pure Fresh (blue) for combination/ oily skin and as Pure Aqua (purple) for normal/ dry skin. I couldn't find these products at eBay so I just asked one seller if he/she can sell it and a few days later I purchased the Pure Fresh Toner and the Pure Fresh Oil Paper Cream.

This mild skincare line is free of 6 chemicals: Artificial Color, Artificial Flavoring, Benzophenone, Mineral Oil, Ethanol (Alcohol) and Paraben
These products can be used by people with sensitive skin!

Description: Hypo-allergenic skincare with 6 irritant-free formula for your delicate skin. Magical fairy water makes your skin moist and revitalized.

Pure Fresh Toner:
This toner for combination/ oily skin comes in a medium-sized translucent, blueish bottle. It looks like a glass bottle but I'm pretty sure it's rather hard plastic. The bottle contains 170ml and has a white twist-off lid.
Inside the hole is a small plug to prevent the toner from coming out when you don't want it. You can easily remove the plug before first use.
The Pure Fresh Toner is colorless and got a herbal/ citrus-like scent
The main ingredients are: Chamomile Water, Daisy, Tea Tree, Lavender and Calendula.
I like that this toner doesn't burn on my skin and will use it in the morning.
  
Pure Fresh Oil Paper Cream:
The cream for oily skin is inside a light blue tube and contains just 25ml. I wished it would be bigger! It has almost the same size as the goodbye PORE EVER Primer from [ETUDE HOUSE]. The lid is a simple white twist-off lid again.
Like the toner the cream also got as main ingredients Chamomile Water, Daisy, Tea Tree etc.. It is called Oil Paper Cream coz it will absorb the sebum on your skin like those oil-absorbing paper sheets.
The consistency is rather watery like a lotion or essence and not creamy. The whitish cream is easy to spread over my face, makes it sleek and keeps it oil-free for longer. Unfortunately, I also got some dry areas on my skin and for those the Oil Paper Cream isn't enough. Have to use another cream as well.
The scent is a bit weird but also not very strong. I would say it is a floral/ herbal scent!
I like the fairy water line because it is made for sensitive skin but also for either dry or oily skin. 
I will use both products for my morning skincare regime because these won't irritate my skin and make it more red.  

Use the toner with a cotton pad and the cream as last step. There is also a emulsion available which you would use between these two.

Price: around 12,- €/ US$16 (Oil Paper Cream); around 13,- €/ US$17 (Pure Fresh Toner) 
Bought at: eBay (zinopark)

What I love: 
Mostly that it's good for sensitive skin AND oily skin. 
My skin looks less oily after using the cream!!

What I don’t like: 
There is nothing I dislike yet. 
   
Will I buy this again? Not sure yet but I will get the Pure Aqua Cream for my dry skin areas.

[ETUDE HOUSE] WONDER PORE Freshner

Right after I finished my [baviphat] 'Tea Tree Toner' I started to use one that cleans pores and reduces their size. It's the (new) WONDER PORE Freshner from [ETUDE HOUSE].
I hope that this product will work better on my skin now since I use the clarisonic.

I got the big size but since recently you can get it in a smaller 250ml size as well.
Beside the Freshner there are also Soda Capsules available which I will review later.

The Freshner contains Alcohol, Hyaluronic Acid, Sea Water, Lemon Fruit Extract, Rice Bran Extract, Dandelion Leaf Extract, Japanese Apricot Fruit Water and others.

Description: This product is total solution for pore care, preventing enlarged pores, less firmer skin and skin troubles by eliminating what hurts skin health from within.
The packaging is made of plastic and light blue. On the back is the description in Korean and English. The big bottle contains 500ml! It is a plastic bottle which is translucent/ blue with a sticker and a light blue flip-top lid.
When you open the flip-top lid you see a pump. You need to press a cotton pad 2-3 times on it to get the Freshner out of the bottle.
The product itself is colorless and a bit scented.
The product says it is a 7 in 1 TOTAL PORE SOLUTION:
- Deep Cleanses Pores
- Maintain ph 4.5 +/- 1
- Control a large amount of the sebum
- Minimize appearance of pores
- Refine the skin tones
- Keep the elasticity of pores
- Moisturize inside and outside of skin

Currently I use this toner in the morning only coz for the evening I got another one. You can use it as a Facial Mist, too. Just put some of the product in a Mist Bottle and spray it over your face (recommended before sleeping).

How to use: Soak the makeup cotton with the Freshner and wipe your face from the center of your face to the outside. With gentle patting, let the skin absorb the leftover Freshner.

Price (500ml): around 23,- €/ US$30
Bought at: eBay (rubyruby76) 

What I love: 
There is nothing I really love atm. 

What I don’t like: 
Nothing I don't like.

Will I buy this again? Could be but then probably just the small 250ml size.
