Missha all-around Safe Block Whitening Sun Mist SPF50+/PA+++ / 미샤

Image
80 ml. Highly scented. The formulation is like a dry oil type of sun screen. I don't spray it directly on to my face instead I spray it on my fingers then I apply it on my skin. I think it is suitable for both: oily and dry skin. It gets absorbed in seconds. I applied it on the back of my hand which is usually very dry and it didn't leave any dewy finish just a silky smooth touch. It may feel a bit weird on your fingers while you are applying it. I think it's a lightweight formula that is easy to spread all over the body. I also use it for my scalp. The only thing that bothers me is the scent that is too strong and perfumy in my opinion.

SKINEYE AC Pure Cleansing Foam Sensitive skin type Acne skin type / 스킨아이

Image
100 ml. Scented. I was looking for a cleansing foam that is gentle but still tough on removing all the impurities off of my skin. So I came across this product that fits my needs. It claims to be hypoallergenic foam with medical aid for skin troubles. I think it does what it says. It takes away grease and oiliness but without any tightness afterwards. Plus it is suitable for sensitive skin.

Lioele Mix Concealer

Image
Capacity : 4 g. and 3.5 g. The packaging is very cute and sturdy. The scent (floral) is not too strong. I don't know how I could forget that I have such a great concealer! It simply got lost between all the make up that I own. It comes in two shades. Both shades are suitable for yellow skin tone. The lighter shade is more into the beige and the darker shade goes into the yellow. I have a yellow beige skin tone so this palette concealer is a really good match for me. The formula is thick and creamy but not oily. You have to swirl around with your finger to melt the product. But you can also use a brush for more precise application. I like how well it covers my sports and redness. It gives a very natural and flowerless finish. It goes well on dry patches and inflamed pimples. The coverage is great too. Also I use it to conceal my dark circles and it does the job really well.  It depends on the lighting.

MISSHA The Style Under Eye Brightener # 1 Light Beige

Image
6 g. Light beige is just the right shade for my yellow beige skin. I have to say that this concealer is surprisingly very good. I did not expected it to work that well. The texture is just right not to thick but not too thin. It has kind of creamy dry formula that is water resistant. It provides medium to high coverage. There are so many ways to use a concealer like this.  I like to mix it with some silicon primer, you can also mix it with lotion or add it to your favorite foundation to get a full / desirable coverage. I use it to cover my blemishes and it does the job very well. It has a tendency to crease a bit but nothing too drastic. I apply it with my finger and it blends nicely into the skin. The applicator gives you just the right about of the product and it spreads easily.

KARADIUM Like a Movie Star Main Actress Cover Concealer No2 Yellow Beige

Image
5 ml. This shade is lighter than I though it would be. It's creamy and it dries matte. The coverage is medium to high. It covers well dark circles and red pimples. Not really great at covering dry patches but you can add a bit of a silicon primer / lotion and it might do the trick. I use my finger to apply it. Little of this product goes a long way. Thanks to its texture it is easy to spread and blend in. Plus it is a water resistant formula. The brush gives a good precision and is very comfortable to use. It might crease a bit if you have fine lines but not as badly as any other concealer out there. Overall I think it's a product worth trying.

Eglips Chop Chop Lips #Tomato Paste

3.4 g. This is not an orangey red. It is more of a cooler toned red. It's highly pigmented bright red lipstick. You can just dab it a few times to get a natural look or go for a full coverage which is really bright and glossy (glossy as a lip balm). I find it easy to apply and spread. The texture is creamy soft and it melts nicely. It gives a neat application and doesn't smudge. The color stains the lips and gives a pretty long wear. The formula doesn't slide or get messy.

BBIA Last Lipstick Velvet Matte #01 Provocative

Image
3.2 g. Scented (quite strong). It's a deep red cool toned color. The texture is velvety matte. You can simply dab it to get a bit of a product on the lips or go for a full coverage. The application is easy. I use my finger to spread it and blend it a bit. This lipstick does stain and it gives long time wear. It's hard to smear it off and the color doesn't fade as easily.  Since it's a matte lipstick it feels a bit drying.

BBIA Shade And Shadow 09

Image
No. 09 It's a muddy rose color / nude beige. The texture is soft and silky. I apply it with the brush. The color is suitable for everyday natural look. 

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

Image
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.

SKINFOOD EGG WHITE PORE MASK / Korean cosmetics

Image
It comes in a 100g plastic jar number 5 PP which is considered to be less harmful [OK] and generally recyclable. The scent is quite strong but tolerable. It smells fresh and clean (unisex). It doesn't bother me.   It is a wash-off clay type mask. The consistency is like a fresh [watery] cream. It feels smooth and silky. I apply it with my fingers. It is easy to apply. It dries like a clay mask would dry [matte]. I would suggest you to steam the face first to open the pores so that the mask could work more effectively. I keep it on my face for 20 -25 minutes for better result. It melts the pore sebum so it comes out easily. I also scrub my face before or after the mask since all the impurities are melted it is easy for them to come out. This mask works much better than TONYMOLY blackhead out oil gel but not as good as Lioele Blackhead Clear or Missha super aqua Blackhead clear Kit. But it quicker to apply [saves time] and good to use it on a regula...
