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

5/5

Holidays!

Hello lovelies! I've been busy with the holidays and I got deathly ill right after, but I'll be back to posting shortly!

Review: Essential Rich Premier Ultra Honey Hair Mask





I have the absolute worst hair. My mother has gorgeous thick, straight black hair like a lot of other Filipinas. My father has bushy, frizzy hair that grows out instead of down. Guess who's hair I got? My hair takes quite a lot of effort for it to behave the way I'd like it to. Not to mention I have no idea how to work a blow dryer. I shower at night so I have time to air dry my hair and I straighten it the next day. It's awful. I have spent thousands of dollars trying to find products that make my hair behave.

*.. DESCRIPTION ..*

Essential RICH PREMIER Ultra Honey Hair Mask is formulated with 3X more high purity honey and milk protein to protect and strengthen. It provides intensive care, especially to the last 15 cm of hair, which is prone to dryness, tangles and split ends. Hair is left soft, elastic and easy to manage. The mask gives a scent of flower and fruit. It is added with shea butter, a repairing and moisturizing ingredient, to make hair extra smooth. Sunflower oil leaves a protective layer to keep hair soft and moisturized. The produce gives untamable hair a smooth and manageable feel.

*.. OVERALL IMPRESSION ..*

YES YES YES!! Everything in the description is 100% correct! This is one of the best products I have ever used in my hair. I still air dry it, but it dries smooth and shiny. It feels like what would happen if you didn't wash any conditioner out of your hair, only it doesn't get really gross. The one complaint I have about this product, is that you have to leave it in for a few minutes and then wash it out after. That's all I got. Everything about this product is magic sorcery. It even smells really good and the smell lasts for most of the day. It feels a lot like lotion or conditioner when you touch it and it feels like a very thick conditioner when you wash it out. I'm going to use this product for a really long time, I just love it.

Pros

-Smells AMAZING
-Makes my hair very silky and tame
-Lots of product in the jar, lasts a while

Cons

-Takes 5 minutes and then you have to rinse it... I'm lazy :P

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.

Review: Skin Food Royal Honey Toner





I purchased this to use as my main toner before I knew what the Wonder Pore Freshner was. After I figured out that the Freshner was a toner, I opted to make this my day toner and the Freshner a night toner.

*.. DESCRIPTION ..*



*.. OVERALL IMPRESSION ..*

This toner does exactly what it advertises. It's very hydrating and it makes the face feel wonderful after use. I could put this toner on every morning and nothing else and I would be content. My skin just feels fantastic. It smells a lot like honey and I found that the scent overpowers the other products I use on my face, while still being a mild scent. It's a bit thicker than water, almost like a soft gel. It's one of my favorite products.

*.. SCORE ..*

4.5/5
Only a 4.5 because it overpowers everything else.

Review: Etude House Wonder Pore Freshner




I think I purchased just about everything on the Wonder Pore line because my pores are so outrageous. I didn't even know what this was when I purchased it but I'm very glad I did. I use this as my night routine toner.

*.. DESCRIPTION ..*



*.. OVERALL IMPRESSION ..*

This product reminds me a lot of the liquid used in ProActiv treatments, just a little less chemical. I was going to swatch it, but it looks exactly like water so I figured there was no point. There is a faint clean smell to it, which is good because I would have thought it was water otherwise. The bottle is very weird. You have to put the cotton ball on this little bowl shaped pump and pump the toner into it. I've been using my hands lately though because I feel like not enough gets on the cotton ball. There's a little glove you can purchase that you're supposed to use with it, and I think I'm going to get that to make it a little more sanitary on my face. After drying my face, I put this toner on and for a second it feels like I just washed my face again. However, once it begins to dry, it feels a little fresher than a face wash. I use a Skin Food toner as my morning toner because it's thicker and moisturizes a little, but this product cleans while it preps your face for more product.

Pros

-Very light toner, doesn't feel like anything is there!
-Leaves face feeling very clean

Cons

-Smells medical
-Doesn't leave face feeling "toned," just washed.

*.. SCORE ..*

4/5
I really like this toner as a night toner, but I don't think it works as well as my other toner. Since I started using it in combination with the foaming cleanser though, my pores have been smaller.
