[ETUDE HOUSE] Like 20 (twenty) *EYE CONCENTRATE*

Since I'm already 30 I start using some anti-aging products to prevent my skin of getting wrinkles. For my face I still use products for oily and trouble skin only but for my eye area I get creams that help to firm the skin and reduce fine lines. From [ETUDE HOUSE] I got the COLLAGEN moistfull firming eye cream a while ago which I actually liked and now I have their Like 20 (twenty) EYE CONCENTRATE.
The Like 20 (twenty) line consits of the following products:
- ESSENTIAL EMULSION
- EYE CONCENTRATE
- BOOSTER ESSENCE
- FINISHING CREAM
- ALL-DAY CREAM PACT
- SKIN CARE KIT

Description: This is an eye cream that provides moisture to the dry eye area with its smooth application for a firm eye area free of wrinkles.

All products of the Like 20 (twenty) line are kept in white and violet/lilac colors what I find really nice. The EYE CONCENTRATE is inside a white container with a pump on top and a clear lid. It contains 30 ml!

Beside Ceramide and Murumuru Oil this eye cream also contains Water, Glycerin, Castor Seed Oil, Shea Butter, Beeswax, Carnauba Wax, Cocoa Extract, Fragrance, Alcohol and more.

The yellowish-white eye concentrate has a light creamy consistency and a soft scent.

I use one pump for each eye and apply it twice a day. It's a very smooth cream and gets absorbed quite fast. My eye area feels moisturized but I can't tell if it really helps in firming the skin. I don't think that a product works that fast - maybe when I constantly use it over a long time. Still, I hope that it will at least prevent my skin of getting wrinkles or fine lines caused by dry skin.

How to use: Dispense certain amount onto eye area before applying cream, gently dabbing and absorbing with fingertips. Can be applied onto other areas that need care (mouth area etc.).

Price: About 11,- €/US$15

[THE FACE SHOP] OIL SPECIALIST FRESH CLEANSING OIL & GREEN TEA HAND GEL CREAM

For removing make-up I recently like to use cleansing oils more than cleansing creams/ cleansing wipes.

After I finished the Real Art Cleansing Oil *MOISTURE* I was looking for a new one and found the [shu uemura] skin purifier gentle cleansing oil. Unfortunately, this cleansing oil is too expensive for me, therefore I was looking for a similar but more affordable oil.

I got the OIL SPECIALIST FRESH CLEANSING OIL with Cherryblossom from [THE FACE SHOP]. This cleansing oil is good for All Skin Types especially combination/ oily skin.

It's available in the following types:

- FRESH CLEANSING OIL (Cherryblossom)

- BRIGTENING CLEANSING OIL (Prune)

- ANTI-AGING CLEANSING OIL (Green Tea and Acai Berry)
- ENRICHED CLEANSING OIL (Camellia and Avocado)

Description: Cleans impurities even deep inside the skin~ a refreshing cleansing oil without any sheen.

Light non-sticky texture spreads on the skin quickly and thoroughly cleanses out impurities even inside pores. Cherry blossoms and cherry seed oil clean dead skin cells and pores, leaving a refreshing sense without any hint of sheen after cleansing.

Every cleansing oil got another color! The FRESH CLEANSING OIL got a pink packaging with the description in Korean and English on it. 

The oil is inside a round translucent-pink plastic bottle, got a pump and contains 200ml.

This cleansing oil contains the following ingredients:

Mineral Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil, Prunus Serrulata (Cherry Blossom) Flower Extract, Sweet Cherry Fruit Extract, Butylene Glycol, Fragrance, Linalool and more.

The oil itself is colorless and has just a slight cherry blossom scent. It smells more like an oil!

I use 2~3 pumps and massage the oil over my whole face, then rinse it off with water. 

My skin doesn't feel oily or too dry afterwards. If the product gets into your eyes it might blurry your eye-sight.

I used from left to right:

Mascara, Eyebrow Concealer, Liquid Eyeliner, Lipgloss, Lipstick, Eyeshadow, BB Cream.

I applied a few drops of oil on the make-up and massaged it over my skin (pic above).
After removing the residues with a tissue - no water used (pic below):

The oil removes my make-up very well - even eye make-up. I like it and will continue using it after I finished the Happy Teatime Cleansing Cream *Milk Tea*.

How to use: Pump an adequate amount and apply the oil gently to the face. Massage lightly in spiral motions to blend well with make-up for cleansing. Depending on skin type, rinse with warm water or use a cleansing foam for dual cleansing.

Price: around 18,- €/ US$24

What I love:  

I love the whole product! It cleans well and is good for oily skin. 

What I don’t like: 

Nothing yet!! Except for the price...still a bit expensive.

Will I buy this again? Yes, I would!


With this order I received some samples. One of these samples were the GREEN TEA HAND GEL CREAM. I will write a short review about that, too! 

Description: This fresh greent tea - scented gel-type hand cream makes you feel comfortable as if you take a walk in the forest. The antioxidant-rich Korean green tea and Olive oil leave your hands healthy and glowing. Have your hands fresh all the time with green tea hand gel cream!

The gel cream comes in a light green tube with a tiwt-off lid. The tube contains 30ml, so I think it's already the normal/ full size?!

 I can't find any informations about this cream yet. Probably it's a newer product!

Anyway, the gel-like consistency has a greenish color and a nice scent. The description says it's a green tea scent!

The GREEN TEA HAND GEL CREAM is non-greasy and absorbs quickly. My hands feel softer but I also think it leaves a film on my skin. That feels a bit weird! But still a nice cream - not the best I tried, though!

[SKINFOOD] Choco Smoky Nail Kit *Chic Brown*

Long time ago I owned quite a lot of nail polishes. I loved to buy different colors especially during summer time when I also could show my feets. But around 2 years ago I stopped to buy these because my previous job in Australia didn't allow to wear nail polish or to have long nails. And now I go to a nail studio to get my nails done!

I know that korean brands offer a lot of nice polishes but I think they would look weird on my 'nail studio made' gel nails. Anyway, I still couldn't resist to get at least two nail polish sets. One of them is the Choco Smoky Nail Kit from [SKINFOOD]. I got the Kit in #1 Chic Brown.

In one of my previous posts I reviewed already the Lipgloss and Mascara from this product line. The Nail Kit is also available in #2 Warm Brown which contains 3 different brown shades.

Description: The Chocolate Makes You more Sweet & Deep.

Use this nail kit to create a chocolate-smooth smoky nails.

The Choco Smoky Nail Kit is rather small and the packaging is brown & beige. Inside the box are the nail polish bottles. These bottles are translucent with a dark brown lid and a brush applicator. Each bottle contains 4.5ml!

The bottles got a number on each back: #1 (Base Coat), #2 (Middle Coat) and #3 (Top Coat).

#1 Base Coat (Pale gray): This color is called 'Pale gray' but for me it looks more like a beige-brown with silver shimmer. Apply this color to your whole nail and let it dry.

#2 Middle Coat (Light gray): Apply the gray-brown color over the Base Coat to 1/2 (half) of your nails and let it dry as well. This color has silver shimmer, too.

#3 Top Coat (Dark chocolate): 'Dark chocolate' looks like a gray and also has silver shimmer in it. Apply this Top Coat to your nail tips.

I'm not perfect in applying nail polishes but I tried it to show you some examples:

I can say that I like the idea of those nail kits and I like these colors, too. But I also think they look a bit weird on me. Maybe because I'm not used to wear brown/ gray nail polish. I usually wear bright colors like pastel pink, blue, green, beige or just my white (french) tips.

Price: around 9,- €/ US$11.50  
Bought at: eBay (zinopark)  

What I love:   

3 colors in one box!

What I don’t like:  

There is nothing I don't like except the strong nail polish scent which gives me headache.

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