[ETUDE HOUSE] AQUA CURE Facial Mist II *Chamomile water*

Yesterday I finally got the keys for my new apartment. I'm happy about that but I'm also scared. Not just because of living completely on my own now (used to live with family, boyfriend or housemates) but also because of the money. Can't buy everything I want from now on until I got a new and better paied job. 
Because of that, I won't have much time for blogging now. I will be almost everyday in my apartment to renovate it.

Anyway, today I will review another facial mist I got a while ago. It's the AQUA CURE Facial Mist II Chamomile water from [ETUDE HOUSE]. This mist is available as Vitamin water and Bamboo water, too!

Description: Skincare formulated with Alaskan Glacial Mineral Water to supply cooling moisture and essential skin nourishment. Facial moisture spray supplies anti-inflammatory efficacy, minerals and cool sensation to skin.

The facial mist is packed in a orange-coloured yet translucent plastic box. The description on it is in Korean and English.

The pump bottle has the same color as the packaging and contains 100ml. The pump looks blueish and is easy to use!

The Chamomile water mist contains the following ingredients:

Water, Alcohol, Glycerin, Anthemis Nobilis (Chamomile) Flower Extract, Arnica Montana Flower Extract, Gentiana Lutea (Yellow Gentian) Root Extract, Artemisia Absinthium (Wormwood) Extract, Achillea Millefolium (Yarrow) Extract, Grapefruit Peel Extract, Olive Fruit Oil, Fragrance and others.

One thing I noticed right after checking out the product is that the mist contains oil. I can see the oil swimming inside! I hope that it won't make my face more oily!

The product itself is colorless and -of course- watery. After I sprayed it on my skin it began to smell like chamomile. 

It refreshes well - the main reason why I use those facial mists, especially during summer time.

I got Chamomile water coz it says it has an anti-inflammatory effect and that might be good for my sensitive/ troubled skin.

How to use: Hold bottle 15~20cm distance from face when spraying. Spray mist over facial surface to supply moisture and refreshment to skin.

Avoid contact with eyes!

Price (each): around 10,- €/ US$12.50 

Bought at: eBay (rubyruby76)    

What I love:  

The refreshing and cooling feeling even though it's just temporarily.

What I don’t like: 

Nothing yet! But I hope the oil inside the mist won't make my face more oily. 

Will I buy this again? I would like to try out Bamboo water as well. That one supplies amino acids and vitamins to the skin.

[ETUDE HOUSE] Black Head Off Oil EX

Beside cleansing oils for removing make-up I also got an oil for fighting blackheads: the Black Head Off Oil EX from [ETUDE HOUSE]. I purchased this product back in March 2011 during my Korea trip.

The Black Head line contains the following things:

- Black Head Final Kit

- Black Head Off Oil EX

- Black Head Bond Patch

- Black Head Roll on Spot

- Black Head Heating Scrub

- Black Head Cleansing Foam

- Black Head Gommage

- Black Head Remover Dual Sheet

- Black Head Waxing Kit

- Black Head Cleansing Foam Pad

- Black Head Pore Tightening Essence

- Black Head Sleeping Paste

- Black Head Heating Deep Clean Gel

- Black Head Off Finger Tip Silicon

As you can see, they released a lot of products for removing blackheads. I just got the oil, though!

Description: Secret Recipe! Perfect Solution!

Improved formula penetrates deep to dissolve and eliminate oil & residue buildup.

Mineral Oil & Preservative Free

The plastic packaging is translucent with a yellowish-orange color. Inside the packaging is the bottle which is kept in a similar color. This plastic bottle is translucent as well and got a pump. 60ml are inside!

The three (3) main ingredients in this oil are Lemon, Grape Seed Oil and Coal.

I found the following informations about this product online:

Black Head Off Oil EX is formulated with Lemon and Grape Seed Oils for optimal cleansing power. Infused with coal, it helps release all the impurities and dirt from pores by massage movements. It can remove even the dirt and black head trapped deep within pores. It is also enriched with Fir Oil to calm and control excessive oil secretion and other skin problems, leaving your skin black-head-free and clean. 

The consistency is very oily and 'watery'. It's colorless and smells like an normal oil with just a slight lemon scent.

 You need to massage the oil for 3~5 minutes on areas with blackheads. I use it mainly on my nose and cheeks. Those silicon finger tips are good for massaging the oil into my skin. It's better than using my fingers!

My bottle is still full, although I have it since one year. I use it really seldom and therefore I can't see any improvement. My nose looks a bit cleaner after using this oil but that's just temporarily.

How to use: Use hands to apply and massage oil to blackhead intense areas of the face. Massage into skin for 3~5 minutes and wash with foaming cleanser and rinse with warm water.

Avoid contact with eyes!

Price (at YesStyle): around 16,50,- €/ US$22 
Bought at: [ETUDE HOUSE] Shop @Insadong, Seoul

What I love:  

There is nothing I love yet.

What I don’t like: 

It's very oily and 'watery'.

Will I buy this again? No, not this one but maybe another product from this line.

[Rival de Loop Young] Lip Oil *MELON*

Usually I'm not going to review something non-asian but this one I just found interesting!

I knew Lip Balms, Lipsticks, Lip Glosses but I never heard about a Lip Oil before.

Rival de Loop Young is a German Drugstore brand. The make-up they sell is quite affordable and similar to essence, another Drugstore brand. To be honest, I buy most of my make-up here in Germany from this two brands.

Anyway, back to the Lip Oil. You can choose between 3 flavours:

- Peach

- Strawberry

- Melon

I took 03 MELON coz I just love the fragrance of watermelon and honeydew. <3

The Lip Oil comes in a translucent bottle. 3ml are inside!

The lid is purple with a pink ribbon and a small heart pendant which lets it look more cute.

Inside the bottle are two purple-colored flowers.

You apply the oil with a roller-ball applicator to your lips. I have to roll it many times to get enough of the product out, though. But then my lips feel nice and smooth. 

It doesn't feel sticky or too oily.

It also gives just a natural glow to my lips.

Price: around 1,50,- €/ US$2

Bought at: ROSSMANN Drugstore 

What I love:
The cute design and the smooth feeling after applying.

What I don’t like:
The roller-ball could work better and the oil doesn't hold long time.

Will I buy this again? No! I just wanted to try it out one time. I think it's just a limited item, too.
