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.

*.. DISCLAIMER ..*

This and all other reviews by me are 100% my opinion. I purchased these products with my own money for the purposes of skin care and decided to review them on my own.

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: Tony Moly Red Appletox Honey Cream





The internet has spoken so highly of this cream, I couldn't not get it. My coworker had some hand cream her daughter sent and it smelled so fantastic. So I did the logical thing and ordered 3.

*.. DESCRIPTION ..*



*.. OVERALL IMPRESSION ..*

I really really want to love this product. I used it religiously, both as a night moisturizer followed by a sleeping pack and also without the sleeping pack. Even without the sleeping pack, it made my face ridiculously sticky. It was very uncomfortable to sleep with. I'm slightly susceptible to breaking out, and this product did make me break out when I used it, mostly on my chin. I didn't see any of the effects described in the description other than the stickiness. I was definitely not happy with this product and I'm pretty upset about it. I want to love it so much.

Pros

-Smells really, really good
-It would be a great product for those without problem skin

Cons

-Too sticky
-Made me break out pretty badly
-Didn't get any of the results advertised.

*.. SCORE ..*

2/5
I gave it a 2 because it smells so good.
