Review: Etude House Moistfull Collagen Sleeping Pack

My first attempt with a sleeping pack.... Wasn't a great experience.

*.. DESCRIPTION ..*

Overnight, leave-in treatment quenches parched skin and replenishes lost moisture for perfectly hydrated skin that glows with renewed health. Concentrated sleeping pack is formulated with Baobab leaf mucus and hydrolyzed marine collagen, premium ingredients chosen for their moisturizing ability and capacity to retain water close to skin's surface. For long-lasting moisture, smooth an even layer of pack all over face and neck before going to sleep. Rinse off in the morning.

*.. OVERALL IMPRESSION ..*

This was one of the first products I purchased for skin care. Not knowing anything, I bought it because it was available for Prime shipping on Amazon, and it was Korean. I believe this product is for dry skin, and not oily skin like I have. It's so thick and sticky when you put it on your face, I had to sleep on a towel so I wouldn't ruin my pillowcase. My face felt sort of wet and heavy the following morning and it was still sticky on my face, which was awful. I could feel my skin get oilier after using the product so I stopped in order to avoid a breakout. It was very nice scented though, sort of a mild floral scent. It just literally felt like I rubbed hair conditioner on my face.

Pros

-Very nice scent

-Definitely moisturizing

Cons

-Not for oily skin

-Left sticky residue

-Very heavy product

*.. SCORE ..*

3/5

I'm not going to give it an awful review just because it wasn't right for my skin type, but it was very heavy and sticky and that's why it's got a 3.

Review: Holika Holika Lip Rescue Trio Moisture (Balm)

This is going to be my shortest review ever! I couldn't find a review for this product when I was purchasing it so I'm throwing this out there. I'm pretty sure it's the same formula as EH's Kissful Lip Care, this is just vanilla flavored. You can see my Kissful Lip Care review here!

Review: Skin Food Fresh Apple Sparkling Pore Emulsion

This product was the first emulsion I've tried and I have no reason to use another!

*.. DESCRIPTION ..*

*.. OVERALL IMPRESSION ..*

I never knew exactly what the purpose of emulsion was before I started using Korean products. I just got a bunch of samples and started trying them all out. This feels very slick, like a thin gel. It smells absolutely wonderful, like apple. I'm acne prone, so I'm usually pretty cautious around scented products, but this one is absolutely perfect. Because my skin is so prone to acne, I don't use any moisturizer at all. This product is exceptional because it moisturizes very lightly. Once it's on my face, I can't feel it one bit, which is huge to me. I hate feeling product residue on my face. It's very light and a nice scent that doesn't linger. I'm not sure if it does anything to my pores, but it definitely keeps my face feeling soft.

Pros

-Nice scent

-Moisturizing

-Very, very light

-Can't feel the residue

Cons

-None that I can think of

Review: Tony Moly Aqua Aura Serum

Normally I'd upload a picture at this point, but it seems my pictures of this product got corrupted and I used all the samples I had.

*.. DESCRIPTION ..*

*.. OVERALL IMPRESSION ..*

When I first squeezed the serum out, I was rather surprised. It was very similar to watered down lotion. There's not too much of a smell, which I like for my sensitive skin. I used this during my morning routine, but I found that my face ended up being very sticky all day. That's not something I want my face to be during the day. This serum is supposed to keep your skin moist all day, which may be where the stickiness comes from. I live in a swamp, so it's already sticky weather nearly all the time. 

Pros

-No smell

-Moisturizing (for those who need it)

-Does what it advertises

Cons

-Made my face sticky

*.. SCORE ..*

3/5

I feel like this product would be good for a lot of people who are looking for what it advertises.

Review: Lioele All Night Moisture Lip Essence (Treatment)

I purchased this product in hopes that it would help with my lip picking issues. It didn't.

*.. DESCRIPTION ..*

*.. OVERALL IMPRESSION ..*

I don't have too much to say about this product. I used it a few times and it actually made my lips feel worse so I had to stop. It smells like Vaseline and feels just about as thick. It feels like that cheap lip gloss all of our moms bought us from the dollar store so we would have "make up." It has no discernible scent. If you want chapped lips, this products works almost instantly. It's so thick I could probably have chewed it off.

Pros

-Absolutely nothing

Cons

-Very thick

-I put a small coat on because of the thickness and it spread over my face during the night and made me break out.

-Made my lips even more chapped

-Just feels cheap and gross

Review: Holika Holika Apple Shine Turn Over Essence

*.. DESCRIPTION ..*

*.. PACKAGING ..*

*.. OVERALL IMPRESSION ..*

This is one of my favorite products!! My skin is usually a bit tight after I use my toner and it typically feels a bit dry. This essence goes on and it's like a refreshing glass of water on a hot day. It smells wonderfully like a granny smith apple. It's got a gel/lotion texture that I absolutely love. I'm not sure I'd be particularly clear if I said it makes my skin feel new, but it does. I have it on at the moment and if you rub your hand on my cheek, it's completely soft and smooth. It does make my skin feel a bit dry, but after I add my emulsion, it's okay. I would suggest following up with an emulsion or moisturizer. That being said, I'm really glad it's not sticky like another essence I've tried (can't recall the name!). I was worried about the size of the product, since the bottle is quite small, but only 2 pumps are needed to cover my whole face and the bottle has lasted me a while.

Pros

-Smooths skin quite a bit

-Easy to get out of the bottle (pump)

-Not sticky

-Smells fabulous!

Cons

-Leaves skin a bit dry

-Apple scent is strong for those who don't like strong scents (I like strong scents)

-I didn't really notice any "cares of dead skin" happening, but it may be because I wash regularly and this product comes in the middle of my routine.

Just because I don't like how dry my skin feels

Review: Tony Moly Dr. Tony AC Control Acne Cleansing Foam

I purchased samples of this because if I even forget a day of my skincare routine, my skin breaks out pretty bad, particularly on my chin. 

*.. DESCRIPTION ..*

*.. OVERALL IMPRESSION ..*

I typically wait a few weeks before I'm comfortable with reviewing a new product, however I've only used this for 10 days. I saw results immediately. As someone plagued with acne growing up, I learned that acne does not clear up right away. No matter how much you want it to, it doesn't clear up within a couple of days. However, this cleansing foam cleared up my trouble area the same day. I washed my face in the morning and by the time I went to do my night routine, I had no more blemishes. It's a light foam, but not as light as Wonder Pore. It does take a bit of effort to wash off completely if you're used to foams like Wonder Pore. There's not much of a smell. It smells lightly like hand soap. It works so well, I immediately purchased a full size. 

Pros

-Definitely takes care of problem spots

-Makes skin soft

-Cleanses pretty well

Cons

-I like scented products and this has none

-Takes longer than I'd like to rinse off
