*ETUDE HOUSE* Nymph Aura Volumer Baby Glow Mist Review

This got me when it said it gives a baby glow!

Description
Immediate moisture and light sheen transparent.

I was attracted to this this it was a baby glow mist but the description was a lie!....for me >.<

It didn't give me a baby glow or any glow or some sort. In a way it was similar to spraying water on my face but just with a floral perfume like fragrance. It does moisture my skin a bit but only for a short while before I need to spray myself again. The fragrance is medium strong and disappears completely after 30 seconds.

For my younger sister who tried it out, it made her shiny - this was not a baby glow. She looked oily/greasy from the shine. The moisture effect was also minimal for her.

Repurchase?
No - I wouldn't recommend this for anyone with dry-type skin

SKINFOOD Watery Berry Toner & Emulsion review

I got this free sample from a friend after he went on a shopping spree in Skinfood.

Description
A dewy moisture toner/ emulsion that promotes soft, glowing skin with berry extracts and sodium hyaluronate.

Toner
Cleans well leaving me with a refresh and cool feeling but also cleans away some of my nature moisture since it dries up my skin a bit. Although it leaves me with a refreshed feeling it leave my skin sticky....

Emulsion
The texture is similar to Skinfood's Royal Honey emulsion but a bit more watery but not to the point where it would slide about. This isn't moisturizing enough for me as I have dry skin - my skin doesn't look dry but it doesn't look/feel particularly moisturized. There also wasn't a glowy look on my skin nor did it feel soft... Skinfood recommends this if you want "more dry skin when seasons change". I personally think it's better for people with oily skin.

The watery berry line has a strong citrus + berry like scent but it disappears in less than 30 seconds.

Repurchase?
No, it's not for me.

FOOD A HOLIC Coenzyme Q10 Natural Essence Mask Review

I got 1 of these masks as a free sample gift and then ended up getting more.

I mainly like this due to it not irritating my skin and giving me rashes. This mask does tighten my skin and makes it feel firmer giving me baby like skin ^-^. Its moisture properties on the hand isn't noticeable. My skin doesn't look much moisturized but it does feel moisturized which is good enough for me since it's a moisturizer's job to moisturize my skin.

The effects of having baby like skin lasts for about 3 days for me and Food A Holic recommends you to use the mask 1-3 times a week.

It has a medium strong fragrance that I wasn't used to at 1st - I didn't hate it but neither did I like it.

What I don't like about this mask is that it's not a 1 whole piece of fabric-paper mask. It's 2 pieces (2x half of a face) stuck together in the middle causing the mask to not fit well on my face.

 Theoretically it should fit better but in reality it fits funny.

Repurchase?
I already did but I think I would like to try out the collagen version next.

*ETUDE HOUSE* Moistfull Collagen First Essence Review

I've always liked makeup products for Etude House and when I got a sample for their skin care products I was quite happy to try it out.

Description

Moistfull Collagen First Essence is a hydrating moisture essence with a 90% Collagen composition that lifts and tightens complexion to promote a radiant glow.

I can't say much for this product since I've only used it for a day but the effects were instant for me in a way. I've only used this for 1 day and had to stop since it gave me a break out after using it twice (morning and night). This did moisturize me skin and gave me baby-like skin after only using it for 1 day - this lasted for 2 days. I felt refreshed after using it but it didn't sit well with my skin which was a shame.

Repurchase?

No, since I got a break out from it.

SKINFOOD Royal Honey Emulsion, Toner & Hydro Cream Review

I brought this line of product after my skin recovered from rashes (from an allergic reaction).

This line advertises that it's products contains royal black honey and royal jelly extracts that replenished moisture and transforms skin into a nice honey-glazed complexion.

I've been using this for 6 months and it's did what it says it does ^-^ which I am very happy about this as I have dry and sensitive skin - it's hard for me to find something that doesn't cause a break out or irritation.

Emulsion

Keeps my face nourished throughout the day even when I use it alone. It has a light honey smell. It's consistency is more on the watery side but not so much - with the design on the opening I would have preferred if it was more watery, as I felt as if I was having a war with the bottle every time I had to tap the lotion out (sometimes too much comes out....).

The emulsion bottle need a pump!

Toner

Cleans well and doesn't dry out my face like what a lot of other toners do on me. My skin feels a little bit sticky after I use this which maybe because it contains honey - it's not on a sticky level where it would bother me too much or make me feel dirty.This is a little bit thicker than most toner but not to the point it's considered as a gel.

Hydro Cream

I don't usually use this a lot since it give me a greasy feeling after I put it on. I usually use this when I'm really dry (to the point of being flakey) and desperately need moisture. It does the trick and moisturizes my skin instantly. Compared to many other creams I've used, this cream is not very thick - my skin absorbs it quicker :)

Looks a bit like vaseline XD

Repurchase? 

Yes! I love how it doesn't give me a break out and actually helps my skin when recovering from a break out/ rashes from an allergic reaction.
