*ETUDE HOUSE" Look at my eyes NEW Eyeshadow (PK002, OR201 & BL601) Reivew

I really like Etude House's products and decided to give their eye shadows a try. The colours I purchased: PK002, OR201 & BL601 (& currently waiting for PP501)

This version gives a slimmer-y look which isn't too sparkly. 

For the pink and orange colour I got the lighter version since I never really liked colours that stood out too much but it seems that I should have gotten the darker ones. The colour is very sheer! When I wear the orange one it doesn't actually show any colour no matter how thick the layer is - it just appears slimmer-y, it's nice as a natural look but I would have preferred it having some colour.

2 layers

Although it's sheer it has a smooth and silky texture which make it easy to apply. Unlike some eyeshadows these aren't power-y which is what I really like about it.

Repurchase?

These should last me a while so I don't think there will be a need to repurchase it.

FOOD A HOLIC Royal Jelly and Collagen Mask Review

Since I really loved their coenzyme mask I decided to try out some of their other versions. I have a thing for tight skin and nutrition supply hence both these mask provide those properties.

Royal Jelly
Contains royal jelly extractions rich of diverse nutrition. This element creates a moisture film, maintaining the skin wet and tight.

Collagen
The concentrated collagen supplies moisture to the rough skin or parts exposed to the ultraviolet rays and thus making the skin tight.

Royal Jelly mask
When I first opened the package what I first noticed was the scent - it did not smell like honey like in the picture instead it had a lemon/orange citrus smell. I quite like the citrus smell so it wasn't a problem for me.

After applying this mask I did feel my skin tighten ^-^ and my skin looked moisturized giving me really soft skin. This mask also leaves me with a slight sticky feel which is probably because it contains jelly. The effects of this mask lasts quite long, my skin was still baby soft after a week :D

Not mentioned on the package: I think it has whitening/ brightening effect as my noticed that my face was whiter/brighter compared to before I put it on - it was really noticeable since my neck and face were of different tones :O and that was only after using it once! it did surprise me but I feel like I look more energized which was a plus :)

Collagen mask
Another unexpected scent! To me it's kind of off putting - it has a scent similar to the bubblegum-like scent from cleaning products used in public toilets. I'm not particularly fond of smelling like public toilets.... Luckily the smell fades very quickly to the point where you can't really smell it unless you sniff really hard :D

Unlike the royal jelly mask I didn't feel any tightening in my skin but it did leave my skin soft & moisturized. The effects only last for about 2 days. In terms of softness the royal jelly mask does a better job.

Also compared to the royal jelly mask, I find that the collagen mask leaves me with a stickier feeling which last for a day :(

Repurchase?
I would repurchase the royal jelly mask as it does a better job compared to the collagen mask.

*ETUDE HOUSE* Girl's Skin Bubble Peeling Dual Pad Review

Description
"Bubble facial wash and detailed dead skin cell care all at once!"

Bubble net
It does not really produce foam at the thickness level as shown on the picture. The foam does not have a long enough life span to be transferred from the pad to my face. Also a lot of the cleansing solution was needed to create a good amount of bubble needed for a face wash. I find it more efficient to use my hands like I did originally. 

Microfibre side
I found this side quite good. At first it didn't really feel like it was doing anything to my skin but after drying my face I noticed that it did a good job for me leaving me with very soft skin :)

THE FACE SHOP Real Nature Mask Aloe Vera Mask Review

Description
A soothing/hydrating mask sheet containing aloe extract, which hydrates and soothes the skin with a rich sense of moisturization, to provide instant care to puffy and sensitive skin.

From my experience - I have dry + sensitive skin
The description was a lie....for me. A few mins after putting on the mask I felt a slight burn on my face and before the recommendation time (15-20 mins) I could not bear it and took it off. This mask gave me instant rashes rather than instant care - my face was red and the rashes lasted a week....

From my younger sister's experience - she has normal + combination skin
This mask worked well for her. It moisturized her face well as gave her baby like skin for 3 days. Aside from the moisturizing effects, the mask also reduced the redness on her spots - the description was true for her.

Repurchase?
No - it's not right for me.

*ETUDE HOUSE* Moistfull Lotion Review

I brought this as my SKINFOOD royal honey emulsion was coming to an end and I wanted to try something new.

Description
It is lotion that delivers abundant moisture to dry skin by baobab with outstanding moisturizing power. It spreads cool as if bursting moisture, absorbs quickly and freshly finishes.

This lotion does do what its description says it would do. My dry skin is moisturized instantly in a nature looking way and it does absorb into my skin quite quickly. It doesn't give me any break outs or irritation which is a plus.

The problem I have with this is that once I've stopped using it for half a day my skin gets really dry - even more so than before I started using this lotion.

It has a perfume like soap fragrance which is medium strong when applying. The smell then goes to a light/ faint smell which last for about 30 mins for me.

Its opening is the same as SKINFOOD royal honey emulsion's bottle but the lotion itself is runny enough to pour out without having to smack/ tap the bottle as if having a war with it >v<.

Repurchase?
No - I don't think it's right for me.

SKINFOOD Salmon Brightening Eye Cream and Darkcircle Concealer Cream No.1 Review

I have always had a problem with dark circles and bags under my eyes ever since I hit puberty >.< Majority of eye creams I came across were not really for lightening dark circles until I came across this salmon line of products.

Description
Cream
Salmon roe extract, salmon oil containing Vitality and radiance to the skin. Your eyes bright and healthy. Functional whitening eye cream.

Concealer
Reduce the appearance of dark circles around the eyes  with the extract of salmon roe.

Cream
This worked wonders for me, after using it for a week (morning and night) this has definitely reduced my dark circles and bags. The great thing is that I don't get break outs, irritations or milia (white dots under your eye) from this.

It doesn't actually have a salmon fragrance but has a light floral fragrance ^-^. The cream itself isn't too thick in my opinion but does feel and look a bit greasy after applying.

 1 week ago - really bad!

Now - A lot better >v<

Concealer

This was a weird concealer for me since its in a pot. Rather than being a cream texture it was more solid and should be applied with warm fingers in order to "melt" the concealer. It does lighten my skin and fills the ceases well but it also makes my ceases look more obvious. 

Like the cream it doesn't smell like salmon at all but instead has an even lighter floral fragrance. The pot itself is very tiny but it will last quite a while - I've been using this for a month now and it only looks like I have only just touched it. 

Whenever I use this it gives a shine which makes it obvious that I'm wearing a concealer and always causes it to look like it's lighter that it should be therefore not matching my skin colour.

Repurchase?

Yes for the cream once I've run out.

Holika Holika Aqua Petit Jelly Makeup Fixer Review

Since my baby glow mist from Etude House didn't do much for me I decided to try out this spray.

Description (shortened)

• Refresh your skin and provide moist - you can feeling vitality and moisture
• Collagen from seaweed handle your makeup easily and keep your skin moisture whole day

For me this did do what it advertised it would do ^-^

My face was moisturized and my makeup was still the same after 7 hours - would have probably lasted longer but I washed my face >v<

Maybe during to it having collagen in it my skin felt like baby skin after spraying it but there was no firm/ tightening feeling like most collagen products.

There is a very faint (so faint to the point you have to sniff really hard) soap-like fragrance which gives a refreshing smell but since it's really faint you don't really notice it. 

As mentioned in it's name this product isn't on the same consistency as water, it's a bit gel/jelly-like but not thick - it's a very watery gel/jelly solution to the point it's the same as water just not there yet.

I'm not sure if it's just my bottle but I don't feel that the pump is good as it doesn't really spray well - it maybe due to it being a bit gel/jelly-like.

Repurchase?
Yes, unless I find a better one :D
