Missha The style Art Designing Pore Cover Balm

Image
It contains 29g. No SPF. The scent intensity could be rate as medium.  It doesn't bother me since it is a make - up base product. It reminds me of Avon magix face perfector spf 20 [old dry formula]. It has a dry silicon texture that melt after being massaged into the skin. I apply it over Milk Of Magnesia and it does covers my pores really well. You need very little otherwise your make - up might slide. Over it I use powder foundation over it cause it works better for my skin that is oily. I try to be careful applying this product around my upper lip cause it tends to get messy. It does covers my pores well but it won't make them magically disappear. It kind of fills in the pores and it also controls oils.  I think you get a good amount for the price so it should last me long time. Once I finish it I will buy a similar one that has SPF.

Etude House Wonder Pore Freshner 10 in 1 Ultra Pore Solution

It comes in a plastic bottle number 5 also known as PP polypropene [it is considered safe to use]. I decided to buy it cause I have heard a lot of good things about it. Usually I do check the ingredients but this time I didn't. :( Apparently this toner contains alcohol. I try to avoid the ingredients that can be drying or harsh to my skin. Even though I have oily skin I try to hydrate and moisturise my skin as most as possible in order to keep it looking young, fresh and healthy [dry patches on oily skin do not look good]. I don't think it is has something to do with oil control. It does smell like alcohol. It wipes away the oils very well, I would say it is more gentle than any other toner that might contain similar ingredients. I will finish the product but I won't repurchase it. I won't use it on my face I will use it on my back or any other place less gentle. 

Mango seed cleansing butter The Face Shop / Korean cosmetics / review

I got several samples of it. First thing to notice is that the scent is just too strong for me. The scent is really overpowering. I used it in the shower and it feels as if you were applying some perfume all over your face. I didn't like that. But the scent itself is quite nice and sweet [it isn't a natural smell though]. The buttery texture melts into a fine oil after you massage it onto your skin. It should be applied on a dry skin. It helps to dissolve your make-up but it won't remove it completely. I wash it off with warm water and I use dove soap or any other cleanser to remove my make-up entirely. I won't buy the full size of it simply because the smell is a way too strong for me and I think my skin won't get enough rest after being exposed to heavily scented product. Ingredients : Water, Mineral Oil, Propanediol, Isopropyl Myristate, PEG-8, Myristic Acid, Palmitic Acid, Dicaprylyl Ether, Microcrystalline Wax, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Ma

SKIN FOOD Black sugar Cleansing Oil / Korea cosmetic / Review

It contains 170ml.  First thing to notice is that the  pump works great and has a small protector to insert in between the pump and the bottle  so you won't be able to push down accidentally. It has a very nice natural lemon scent that feels very fresh and clean. The scent isn't bothering. The oil feels very nice and soft on your skin. It makes me want to apply more and more of it. It doesn't leave my skin squeaky clean but instead it feels moisturising. The cleansing oil should be applied on a dry skin cause it turns white after being mixed with water and becomes fluid [not oily]. I reach for it when I need to dissolve some waterproof product [lip tint or liner]. It helps to melt the product but I can't say that it removes my make-up entirely. So I still have to wash my face with dove soap or cleansing foam after that. It's good at removing swatches from my hand. But I would suggest to use a cotton pad or a dry facial sponge to wipe it off .

ARITAUM World glam coating tint 01. New York

Contains: 9ml It tastes sweet and has a bitter - sour scent. In my opinion the scent is a bit strong for the lip product. Generally speaking I know that lip products [if they are not organic] contain a lot of chemicals very harmful for your health [so that's what you should keep in mind]. In this case I don't even want to know where this sweet taste comes from or the scent. I have tried searching for the ingredients list but I had no luck finding it. The applicator is soft and easy to use. I would say it's a peachy colour [pink + orange]. The colour/ tint gets into the skin and stays longer than the gloss. It brightens my natural lip colour and blends very well. Your natural lip colour will get more intense. The gloss doesn't feel sticky or thick. it stays on my lip long enough I don´t have to reapply it.

Avalon Organics Deep Moisturizing Shampoo Awapuhi Mango Therapy and Faith in Nature Coconut Conditioner

  It contains 414ml and comes in a plastic bottle number 1. It has a nice natural sweet - sour floral scent nothing overpowering. It makes my hair soft and easy to comb. It contains a lot of great natural ingredients to keep my hair healthy. It is suitable for everyday use [I wash my hair everyday in the morning]. It helps to maintain healthy shine, softness and silky texture. It leaves my hair and scalp feeling properly clean and moisturised. I feel like a lot of good thing nourishing ingredients are being absorbed into my hair. It is important to mention that my hair feels much thicker after I wash them. I used to use it before and I will continue using it. If I have to use a conditioner I reach for faith in nature. Their conditioners are not as thick as some of other brands. My hair are thin and gets oily quite fast. So I need a conditioner that wouldn't make them feel heavy or oily. This one has a light consistency. The consistency is quite liquid. You don't have
