[ETUDE HOUSE] Eraser Show Cleansing Serum

The last cleansing cream I used was [i.myss]'s AQUA MARINE SOFT CLEANSING CREAM. It was a good make-up remover and didn't dry out my skin. It came in a 200ml tube and contains deep sea water and marine collagen.
From [i.myss]'s AQUA MARINE line is also a CLEANSING FOAM and MILD CLEANSING OIL available .

A while ago [ETUDE HOUSE] also released a make-up remover line: Eraser Show. The following products belong to this product range:
- Eye Remover Tissues
- Cleansing Serum

- Line Remover Stick
- Mascara Cleaner
- Remover Bar

I wanted a make-up remover for the whole face and so I got the Eraser Show Cleansing Serum.

Description: Infused with Argan Oil and Aloe Vera Leaf extract, this serum-like cleanser soothes and moisturizes skin while melting away all makeup, including eye makeup, leaving skin soft, and feeling refreshed and clean.

The cleanser comes in a flat tube which is kept in white, blue and pink colors. 
It has a twist-off lid and contains 75ml.
On the back you can find the description in korean as well as in english.
The main ingredients are Argan Oil and Aloe Vera. Both ingredients take care of your eye lashes and keep your skin smooth.

The cleansing serum has a white color and its consistency is not as creamy as cleansing creams. It comes with a soft scent and the tube makes it very easy to squeeze out a proper amount. I like those tubes more than cleansing creams in a jar.
 From top to bottom:
BB cream, eyeshadow, blush, liquid eyeliner, eyeliner pencil, mascara, lipstick, lip gloss
 Applying the cleansing serum on dry skin (pic above) and massage it onto my skin (pic below).
 After massaging it onto my skin I can still see the liquid eyeliner and lip gloss (pic above) but after removing the residues with a tissue everything was gone (pic below).
[ETUDE HOUSE]'s Eraser Show Cleansing Serum removes my make-up quite well, even eye make-up. It takes a bit longer to remove eye make-up but at the end it was gone, too.
I never remove residues with a tissue, though. I wash it off with warm water and cleanse my face with a cleansing foam.
75ml might not last for a long time (for me) since I tend to use too much product to make sure all make-up is gone.
How to use: Massage onto dry skin, including eye area. Rinse well with warm water. 

Price: around 9,- €/ US$11
Bought at: eBay (rubyruby76)  
   

What I love: 
It removes make-up quite well and has a soft scent.  

What I don’t like:     
The tube doesn't contain a lot of product... wish it would be bigger.

Will I buy this again? No, I will get another cleansing cream or oil.

[SKINFOOD] Peach Sake Pore Serum

After using a toner and before applying a face cream I often use a serum. Good for me are those for enlarged pores and oily skin. [SKINFOOD] has a product line especially for this skin problems: the Peach Sake Pore line. I got the Peach Sake Pore Serum and the BB Cream. I will review the serum today!

Description: Soft serum with 'sake', traditional Japanese wine brewed with rigidly selected rice, and 'peach' extracts rich in vitamin A and C to remove greasiness due to enlarged pores and excessive sebum.
The Peach Sake Pore Serum comes in a very cute, matte glass bottle which looks like those sake bottles from Japan. The plastic lid is long with a 'wood look'.
The bottle contains 45ml and has a pump!
The main ingredients are Rice Sake, Peach Extract and Silica Powder which help to reduce the shine and the appearance of pores on your skin.
This Serum has a white lotion-like consistency and is not as watery as some other serums I tried out. The scent is nice, kinda peachy and I like that my skin looks more matte afterwards. My skin also feels more smooth and velvet - like a peach.
 Unfortunately, it doesn't cover my enlarged pores well and the oil control doesn't last for a long time, too. But I have to remind you that I use the Peach Sake Pore Serum only. You probably get a better result when you use all products of this range and 'everyday'.

How to use: After lotion, apply gently and cover face with hands, for deep absorption.

Price: around 11,- €/ US$15 
Bought at: eBay (zinopark)  

What I love: 
The design of the bottle and the soft/ velvet finish.

What I don’t like:  
It doesn't cover my pores too well. 

Will I buy this again? Might be but I'm not sure yet.

[ETUDE HOUSE] My Lash Serum

A product I got for my eyelashes only is the My Lash Serum from [ETUDE HOUSE]. I just wanted to try it out because it says it will strengthens the lashes and prevents them from falling out.

Description: Serum Promotes Eyelash Health & Strength
Strengthens strand vitality with essence care formula to prevent lash loss. Contains panthenol & dogwood berry extract. Supplies nourishment and comfort to weary eye lines and lashes.
This eyelash serum is inside a translucent bottle and looks like a normal mascara. It contains 9g and has a light pink lid with a soft brush.
The serum looks a bit yellowish and has a rather watery consistency. It's not as runny as water, though. The scent is nothing special - for me it smells like a mascara does.
I use the My Lash Serum since a few month already and apply it every evening like a mascara. 
I let it dry and wash it off the next morning.
I see that I loose less lashes and I also find that they look longer than before. I'm not really sure about that, though. But it might be that my lashes became so healthy now that they grow better. Will continue using it until I finished the bottle!

How to use: Simply brush it from the roots of hair follicles of eyelash toward the ends. Use at the basic step after cleansing at nighttime. 

Price: around 6,- €/ US$8 
Bought at: eBay (rubyruby76)
 
What I love: 
My lashes looking healthier and longer.
 
What I don’t like: 
Nothing at the moment!
 
Will I buy this again? Maybe or I will try the Dr. Lash products first!!
