The Face Shop Aqua Drop Pack~ 더페이스샵 아쿠아 드롭 슬리핑 팩 후기/리뷰

Hello everyone! 

As promised I started writing reviews for most of the products I have showed in previous haul posts. 

Todays item is The Face Shop Aqua Drop Pack sleeping mask.

Before I received a sample of this product I didn’t know that such thing as sleeping mask existed. Last year when I bought a bunch of stuff in The Face Shop store they were kind enough to give me a bunch of samples and she gave me quite a lot of this sleeping mask because I was suffering from dry skin at the time. This sleeping mask is especially for moisturizing and baby like soft skin. I used my samples and fell in love with this product so I went to buy the full size of the product which comes in a huge tube which I don’t think I will run out of in a while.

The consistency of this products is very gel and water like. At least that’s what it feels like to me. It has a extremely pleasant smell which is great to fall asleep to. It is very fresh and clean like smell and not overwhelming at all.

Because it has quite a runny consistency to it, it is very easy to blend and spread on to skin and the amount you see on my hand would be enough for the entire face.

When you spread it on to skin it looks very shiny and dewy and feels just a little bit sticky but since it is a sleeping mask I do not mind the stickiness. Also that stickiness is good to lock up the moisture into your skin and have the skin get all the benefits from the product. It never really completely dries on the skin so you may have some rub on to your pillow cover so keep that in mind and don’t complain because it is a sleeping mask! 

In the morning when you wake up you seriously do have a very soft and supple baby like skin. Your skin feels elastic and soft and very moisturized. Now the only con of this product is that I do not recommend it to people with very oily skin because all the moisture content in the mask might make you more oily and shiny (I don’t mean good shiny but oily shiny) but people with combination skin and dry skin should definitely try this. 

You definitely see the change in skins texture even after one use and in long term use it makes the skin feel great. I personally use it once a week and it makes my skin feel great and smooth. 

I haven’t seen it on online shops but I have seen this product in all of The Face Shop stores I’ve been to. So if you have a store nearby you can get your hands on this product easily. 

Thank you very much for reading my blog please make sure to like my post and follow my tumblog for more upcoming product reviews and as promised to 양승부인 a tutorial.

The Face Shop Arsainte Ideal Essence~ 더페이스샵 아르쌩뜨 에코-테라피 아이디얼 에센스 리뷰

Hello! Today’s post is about a essence which you may have seen in my previous hauls! I bought this when my skin was getting very dry and needed a moisture boost. 

It is The Face Shop Arsainte Eco-Therapy Ideal Essence. This line is known to be the best seller from this brand especially their essence. This line is for dry skin which needs extreme moisture.

The essence doesn’t have any colour and it is a clear water like formula. It has a very subtle fresh smell to it. It includes bamboo extract for moisture and locking the moisture into the skin.

When you are spreading it out on your skin it feels like water. It has a very soft gel like texture but it is definitely not thick. The essence does have a smell to it but it is not overwhelming and it is a very fresh and clean smell. Now the question is “does it really moisturize skin extremely?”. It does. 

This essence makes your skin extremely soft and bouncy and elastic feeling like a baby skin. However even though I have oily skin on my nose it does not get oily at all and it actually feels great. I put it on before my moisturizer and after my toner and it feels great. 

I’m sure what I mainly use this essence for is very different than everyone else but I mix it with my Aqua Tinted BB cream!!! It looks amazing and it feels amazing on my face! I believe due to the bamboo extract it contains, it feels refreshing and cooling on the skin. 

I recommend this essence for everyone with dry skin who needs a moisture boost. It is really great to use under your moisturizer and definitely under your makeup or even in your makeup like I do. When I’m done with this bottle I’m planning to repurchase it again especially for the upcoming winter season for when my skin gets dry. 

Thank you for reading my post! I hope you enjoyed it and will like my post. Also, don’t forget to follow my blog for more reviews and upcoming posts.

The Face Shop Face It Aqua Tinted BB Cream~ 더페이스샵 아쿠아 틴티드 비비크림 리뷰/후기

Hello everyone! 

Today I will be writing about The Face Shop Aqua Tinted BB cream. Let me start off by saying this is definitely my favorite BB cream I have used so far. One year ago I wrote a review about Etude House Precious Mineral BB cream and in that review I said that was my favorite but now I have a new one! Click here for that review.

This is the packaging (if it hasn’t changed since I bought this one). The Face Shop has been changing their packages for their products lately so this may have changed too.

This BB cream as it says on the packaging is a moisturizing and aqua type. It has SPF 20 and it is water based. It feels extremely refreshing and light weight on the face. Other youtube gurus have mentioned this BB cream as their summer favorite but I actually love to wear this even in the winter because of the moisturizing effect it has. 

The color I own is No. 1 Light Beige, which is the lightest shade available for this BB cream. Even though the name of the colour is “beige” it still has pink undertones to it. So it looks good on my skin colour however 양승부인 (my friend) mentioned that this looks a little dark for my skin colour but this is the lightest shade so what to do? 

When you first put on the cream it feels watery, thin, light weight and especially refreshing. The coverage is light but it can be layered on to make it medium coverage. In the photo above I put a thick layer of the product on my hand to show the colour and texture of it. 

Even though the coverage of the BB cream is light it still gets rid of the redness I have and creates an even skin tone. It has a very beautiful, dewy finish to skin because of its moisturizing effects. However, the moisture it contains is in no way oily or will make you oily because it is a water based product. I have combination skin, where my nose gets very oily, my forehead area is slightly dry and the rest is normal yet this BB cream feels very balancing and normal on my skin. It also has a long staying power. The other day 양승부인 and I went to a theme park together and even with all the water rides, hot and humid weather my BB cream stayed in place but let’s be reasonable it wasn’t fully in place and needed a touch up once. 

If you are looking for a light weight BB cream with a dewy finish and a light coverage this is the perfect one for you. It is great for combination type skin. During summer I definitely recommend putting a SPF cream on before because this BB creams SPF is not that high. During winter I recommend mixing it with a essence or serum for a more moisturizing effect and dewy finish because during winter it is very likely that your skin will get dry. 

That is it for this post. Thank you for reading it, please like my post and follow my blog for more reviews and hauls!

Beautynetkorea (f2plus1) Review + The Face Shop Haul

Today because I’m not feeling lazy I actually wrote few more posts to publish them in the next days! So expect more reviews and maybe a tutorial because 양승부인 keeps asking me to make one. We shall see. 

The first thing I would like to talk about is that I found a perfect shopping website for Korean cosmetics which is based in Incheon, South Korea. Most of the korean beauty item selling websites are based in China or other Asian countries. In all honesty when I see that those websites are based in China I always have second thoughts about purchasing them because of the authenticity of the products. Besides most of those websites always sells them double the actual price of the product. While browsing on EBay one day, I found a seller named f2plus1 and this seller had great reviews and most importantly they are actually based in South Korea and are selling korean beauty items. Before I purchased my items I contacted them so many times to ask them so many questions yet they were extremely friendly answering my questions. 

Now this seller actually has a website and you don’t have to purchase through EBay. They have so many great Korean brands that I’m sure everyone is already in love with. I also did a comparison with the actual prices of Etude House and the prices they have listed and there is only $1-2 difference with the actual prices but that’s a lot better than other websites and this seller also provides free shipping with your purchases. 

So few days ago I received my first package from them. Everything was wrapped nicely in bubble wraps and arranged really well in the box. 

Innisfree Rice Mask Sheet, Missha Super Aqua Blackhead Kit, Etude House Strawberry Hair Rollers, Dear Girls Lip Tint&Balm, Tony Moly Green Apple, Nature Republic Aloe Vera Gel, Holika Holika Aqua Colour Change Tint, Etude House Hand Mask

Because of my previous hauls I didn’t purchase many things but I bought things that I’ve been wanting to try for a long time now.  양승부인 also purchased some things. But now we both decided that there are more things we want to purchase. 

They also sent a good amount of samples and two face masks with my purchase. I’m repeating myself but I want to say again that the seller is a very nice person and they are very helpful and fast at replying and answering your questions. So I really do recommend www.f2plus1.com if you want to purchase Korean beauty products. 

Now on to my small haul from The Face Shop. This time I was determined to buy just one thing which was the whitening body lotion but again I bought more stuff thanks to my mom.

This time when I only wanted to buy a whitening body cream/lotion. I’m already pale but I want to get rid of the uneven colour on my body. But I bought more things than I expected to once again.

Bebe Lip Mask, 3D Ampoule Mask, Real Nature Sheet Masks, Arsainte O2 Mask, Whitening Body Moisturizer, Volcanic Clay Aloe Nose Strips, Raspberry Collagen Eye Masks, Hair&Bath Brush

The girl that was working in the store gave me nice samples with my purchase. And two small boxes of the extremely soft cotton pads that they actually sell. But I still have huge box I purchased before so I’m glad I have these as a back up. 

That is all for today. I’m planning to make a review about the Missha blackhead kit, The Face Shop O2 Mask and Tony Moly green apple peeling item after I use them for at least 3 times. Please like my post and don’t forget to follow for upcoming posts and reviews. 

[HAUL] Korean and Japanese Beauty Products

Hello everyone! 

Today’s post is a haul post. I purchased everything myself in the store. Some of them are gifts for my mother and my friend (양승부인). Usually when I go shopping for cosmetics I tend to buy more than I need so now I started buying skincare products more than I need because I decided I would use up my cosmetics before I purchase any new ones. Not including my eyeliner and mascara because I always buy new ones every 3-4 months. Enough with the rambling and here is my haul!

Usually when I go to Mitsuwa they are always out of stock of the Dolly Wink eyeliner and I am very impatient to wait for my online orders so when I saw they had them in stock I bought 2 for myself and 1 for my friend. I also bought two boxes of my trustworthy Hadanomy collagen face masks and a box of a brand I have never tried before. If you have ever used it let me know what you think about it. I also bought a set of Essential Nuance Airy. Now that I have my virgin hair back the volume in the roots are gone so I thought I would give this a try!

Then I went to The Face Shop and bought more face masks because I use a lot of masks and while I was in the store they were having a special sale event so I bought a lot of new things to try too. Especially the new smart capsule CC cream. I have used it once already but I want to use it few more times to write a review about it. 

I bought anti-wrinkle and anti-aging skincare products for my mother to use. The girl that was working in the store praised this collection a lot so even though my mother uses very high end products I bought this for her to try. I also bought another CC cream for my friend. They also gave me two neck creams for price of one so I gave one to my mother. She also gave me travel size kind of samples of other anti-aging and anti-wrinkle for my mother.

They gave me a bunch of samples and these are just few them. I can actually say they gave me a box full of samples of all different products. They also gave full sizes of Aqua Jelly face and body mist and a mousse facial cleanser and few more masks but I forgot to take photos of them.  

This is all for now! When I stop being so lazy (SORRY!) I will write bunch of reviews and comparisons! 양승부인 is actually pushing me to make videos and tutorials too but I don’t feel too comfortable show my face yet! My next post will be another circle lens review but this time a more natural one ;) . Be ready! 

Thank you for reading such a long blog post. I really am trying to make my posts more simple but I just can’t stop myself from writing!

HAUL: Lush and The Face Shop

Hello everyone! 

I haven't made any posts lately and the reason for that is I came to visit my parents and before I did that(!) I went to some of my favourite stores to stock up on things that I may need while I am visiting them since it will be long visit! 

First I went to The Face Shop, I bought a lot of face masks! Not just face masks though I also bought hand and feet mask, which I haven't tried yet and can not wait to try! I also bought a BB Cream and essence for my face. While I was in the shop, because I am running out of my Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream I thought I would buy a back-up. While there I asked one of the girls which one I should get, she was very helpful and chose aqua tinted for me. I am glad she did because where I am right now is a very tropical place and it is very hot combined with humidity (now I know why I was so sure about leaving this city). I will be doing a review on this BB Cream and comparison with my other one! Last thing I bought from The Face Shop was the face essence, for a while now I was using La Mer moisturizing gel but I ran out of it and with everything going on I did not want to go and pay all that money for it but I knew I had to get something for my face so I gave The Face Shop a try. The girl in the shop told me that this Eco-Therapy series was their best seller and I chose to try the essence since I do not like to use anything too heavy on my face. The girl that was working in the store was so nice she gave me couple free face masks, UV protection cream and few more stuff. I will be making review posts on these products at the end of the month since I actually want to have better idea for all. Moving on!

I went to the Lush store to buy bath bombs for myself as I am a person who likes to take long hot baths. I ended up buying two bath bombs (Butterball and a green apple one, sorry I can not remember the name), Volcano foot mask (it is not in the photo because it was for my mother), bath bubble bar in Green (that is the name for that). Even though I did not buy much they gave me two sample size Sultana and one sample size Honey, I Washed The Kids. I think I will fall in love with Sultana because it has a great moisturizing feeling to it even when you just touch it. 

I feel and know that I have talked too much so I will end this blog post here. Hopefully now that I have more time in my hand I will be making tutorials and review posts! Please expect them (: 

TUTORIAL: Chocolate Drip Nails

Helloooo, helloooo, hellooo!! :) 
I know summer is already over but I came to visit my parents and wow this place is so tropical it makes me want to nom~ on ice creams all the time! Long time ago I saw Hikari's nails in a photo and I thought it looked so cool I had to try it and what's better than having ice cream nails with chocolate dripping on them?! 

These are Hikari's nails. (Photo is taken from her blog)

Watch the video below to learn how to get nails like these! Please be nice to me since this is my first video ever! And I'm sorry about the position and the focusing! It will be better once I get used to it (: 

The end product photo is old when I first did it on my short nails! I forgot to take new photos because I usually always have dark red nail polish on and I took these off after I was done recording! Boo-hoo...

Please subscribe to my channel and follow my blog for more upcoming tutorials and reviews of products~

I will have a new blog post about my new The Face Shop haul and reviews of the products from my old haul post!

♥♥ The Face Shop Haul! ♥♥

Hello to whoever is reading this! (: 

So recently I went to The Face Shop store in order to get myself a facial cleanser since I used up all mine. But(!), whenever I go there I end up buying more stuff because I love everything I get from The Face Shop. The price is reasonable, products are great and you get to see Kim Hyun Joong's face everywhere~ 

Sorry about the bad lighting :( I really wanted to take photos of the products before I used them!
From L - R:
Self Steam Hair Pack, Bubble Net, ChangPo Hair Essence, Lovely Me: EX Lip Stain, Pearl Face Mask, Herb Day Cleansing Foam

This time when I went there, I initially wanted to get Herb Day Cleansing Foam facial cleanser with peach only. It is for all skin types but as description tag under it said it is for "moisturized and glowing skin". 

Of course I ended up getting more stuff. As I have talked about in my previous post I have overly processed hair on the tips so I bought the hair pack and the essence. Later for my skin I bought the foaming cleanser and recently I saw on DanceandMelodee's (check out her channel she has great tips for good skin) skin care video that she uses a bubble net for her cleanser so when I saw one in The Face Shop I immediately added it in my shopping bag! I also bought a mask since I'm running out of my other ones (expect a face mask review for different brands soon!☺) 

And last but not least I bought a lip stain. After watching too many dramas I realized that most of the actresses always has this tint in the middle of their lips that looks very nice so let's say I got jealous and wanted to go for that look! That is it for now I will do a review on each product soon and the promised ice cream nail tutorial. 

Thank you for reading...
