skin care set review : Etude house aloe moistfull skincare kit

As i mentioned on my post about etude house moistfull collagen skincare set, i also have this moistfull set with aloe, and i was gonna try this one first before deciding which line to buy (well i was hoping to try the moistfull white first too, if possible).

The set comes with a carton box, including 4 types of skin care;
aloe moistfull soothing skin
aloe moistfull first essence
aloe moistfull soothing lotion
aloe moistfull soothing cream

This is information from www.prettyandcute.com  (without soothing skin) :

Etude House Aloe Moistfull Skincare Kit is a mini set that to help soothe, alleviate, and moisturize dry and irritated skin. Enriched with Baobab Tree Extracts and Organix Aloe, it instantly supplies skin with full moisture by penetrating deep into the skin. It will retain moisture in the skin and leave it feeling refreshed and hydrated.

Set Includes:
Aloe Moistfull Soothing Essence…......15ml
Aloe Moistfull Soothing Gel……….…..15ml
Aloe Moistful Soothin Cream………...10ml

Directions:
Aloe Moistfull Soothing Essence: After cleansing, apply to entire face. Gentle pat to help absorption.

Aloe Moistfull Soothing Gel: After cream, massage over face. Re-apply when needed to dry and irritated areas.

Benefits:

• Moisturizes
• Tightens Complexion
• Soothes
• Moisture Retention
• Alleviates

I like how the set comes in 15ml for each skin, essence and lotion, and 10 ml for the cream, so i have more time and more product of course, to try. Normally with a travel mini size like this, the cream and essence only 5 ml so normally they will finish first. But this one i got 15 ml of essence and 10ml of the cream.

So this line is supposed to soothe and moisturized dry and irritated skin, so it would be good for sensitive skin too. In my case, i could use this line on winter when the weather here suppppper dry and my skin got irritated, dryness,flaky skin and redness sometime. Or you can use this line on summer, when you were out and got sunburn and need a skincare to sooth your skin.

well, to see how this line work, let's just start with the review..

Aloe moistfull soothing skin

Now many korean started to use the word "skin" instead of "toner", but actually they are the same.. So this is the first step of the skin care rouine..I used this one with a cotton pad. The texture is watery, the scent.. i don't really know how the smell of aloe, but this one just smell fresh.. there is  a scent of sweetness, i don't know what it is, but comparing to moistfull collagen skin/toner, i like the scent of moistfull collagen better.
As i applied this on my face, it freshen up my face, giving a little bit cold sensation but not burning or tingling. It didn't make face dry, so i think it's quite good for me.

Aloe moitfull first essence

After soothing skin, now it's time to apply the essence. The texture is this watery transparent very light gel. seriously, it's sooo light, almost like water. It's only a little bit thicker than the soothing skin. In fact i grabbed it wrong between the essence and skin twice or three times because they look the same and there was some time i didn't read the label and pour the essence into cotton pad as i thought it was the soothing skin, or other way round.
Not just the texture, the scent also similar with the skin. When i applied this on my face, it felt sooo light, just like applying thicker water.It was absorbed on my face very quickly. it felt like a light moisturizer.Maybe it boost up the skin to prepare for the next step but for me i don't really feel the effect of this essence. it feels like i can just skip this one.

Aloe moistfull soothing lotion

Aloe moistfull soothing lotion.. it's a very lightweight lotion..when i first applied on my face, i don't know why i smell a hint of jasmine scent...? it has a similar hint of scent like the skin and essence, but maybe this one smells a little bit stronger, like there is another extra fragrance there.. maybe not jasmine but sometimes i could smell a hint of jasmine or something like it..??
 I think this lotion is a watery based, i could feel and see it as it absorbed on my skin. This i a good lotion for a day light, since it's very light but moisturizing. But i think i have a little problem with this lotion. there was some day when i felt itchy after applying this lotion. it was weird, since it didn't happen with the cream although they are from the same line. It didn't give me any breakout or anything though.

Aloe moistfull soothing cream

The cream.. when i opened this small cute jar, i liked the cream straightaway from the look!!why? well, it looks like the right texture for me. Not to thick and not too light. The scent is similar with the lotion but the lotion still has a stronger scent.  The texture of this cream is lighter than moistfull collagen cream, but this one also a good moisturizing cream. It kept my face moisturized during the night. No dry skin when i woke up, and it's not too rich that made my face feel greasy in the morning, so for me it's a good cream!!


Overall, what i could say is, comparing to etude house moistfull colagen line, i will definetely choose the moistfull collagen, not this one. well maybe this one will be moire suitable to those who has irritated or sensitive skin. My skin condition is quite normal at this time so i don't really feel the benefit of this line.

Face mist review : Innisfree originated lavender Moisture mist

I like using mist before make up and to carry in my bag, to use everytime i feel like i need some refreshment. That's why i always have at least one mist with me (normally i have 2. one to stand by on my dressing table and one inside my bag). For the cheap option of mist, i like local brand, Mustika ratu face mist. But last time when i ordered innisfree lavender range, i saw they also have mist so i thought, why not try the mist too..

This is information from the net (www.bbcreambest.com)

This is my lavender mist

First, the packaging.. it's a 45ml plastic cpray bottle.. with a purple transparant colour bottle, it looks good, doesn't look cheap.. but.. as you can see on the picture.. i lost the cap. The cap is suck.. it didn't close and stuck well.. it's like a little bit loose. I lost the cap many many times. Everytime i put it inside my bag whenever i checked the bottle always seperated with the cap..until one day i just lost it.

The spray.. with a super iny hole.. so it will produce very fine mist. in fact too fine.. sometimes i need to spray like 7 times spray on my face..!! ..because i just didn't feel it I didn't feel the watery mist and need more and more..
the scent.. yup, there's a hint of lavender smell. it's nice and calming scent, remind me of spa product or aromatherapy. But not too strong or overpowering scent.

The effect of the mist?
well, first it freshen up for sure. I like to apply this before primer or bb cream to add extra moisturizer and dewy effect. I also like to use it when i was out and needed some refreshment.. I tried to spray this when my skin was drying, but didn't really help to fix the dryness. well, maybe only the first 5 minutes and then the effect was gone.

overall, it's just so so product for me.. well it's only a mist anyway.. something that i would like to try many from other different brand.. not something to be loyal to.. lol. Now i really want to try tony moly pocket bunny mist because of the cute bunny packaging!

skin care travel set review : Etude house moisturising & peeling skin care kit

Hi all.. back to travel kit skin care.. For this last 2 months i've been trying and using all my skin care travel set before they are expired..lol.. this time it's from etude house.. it's their collagen moistfull line plus one peeling

This is what i got :
from left to right : etude house rub me tender fog peeling - collagen moistfull cream - collagen moisture facial freshener - collagen moistfull emulsion

This collagen moistfull line is one of the famous line from etude house.. Long time ago i tried sample of etude house moistful line (toner and emulsion) and didn't impress me much. I'm so excited to try this new line with collagen.. This is a little bit information about the colagen moistfull line i got from the net (google search, of course)

etude hous collagen moistfull line
dual care of moisture and collagen which improves decreased flexibility and increase dryness. Flexible, soft texture applies to skin and increases moisture retention and lifts sagging skin. Brings a healthy shine to dry and dull skin. Combination of Baobab tree extracts and collagen increases moisturization and elasticity of skin. Proper moisture and collagen is the most important elements for maintaining youthful looking skin.
 

Benefits:

• Moisturizes
• Increases Collagen Synthesis
• Increases Elasticity
• Increases Moisture Retention

At this time it's still winter time here, the weather outside is very dry, my skin is getting dryer than usual, but still a little bit oily on the nose area. Without good moisturizer my skin at this time could get some redness and dry flaky skin.. so let's try this line..

first up,, the facial freshener
information from the net :
Gel textured facial toner removes pore buildup while moisturizing and tightening complexion. Concentrated moisturizer hydrates skin with milky texture for a moist sensation that lasts all day. Baobab Tree + Collagen combination improves dermal structure and moisture retention.

so it's actually a toner.. only that they named it "facial freshener". First thing i noticed.. omg it smells gooodd... it smells sweet and fresh.. i'm a fan of sweet and nice scent on my skin care.. so this one i like.. there's a hint of citrus scent i guess, that made it smells so fresh and lovely.. i can't stop smelling this. lol. The scent of this facial freshener is the strongest than the other product on this line (emulsion and the cream).

The texture is a light gel, not that watery type toner. Comparing to that watery type toner (like skin food peach sake toner or innisfree mint toner, for example) this one is the thick type. I applied it with cotton pad, just how i like to apply toner on my face. It gave me the refreshing feeling, it freshen up my face, also gave a boost of moisturizer, which is nice to get it since the first step of skin care routine. i'm enjoying using this toner, i think i loved it straight away since the first use. it smells good, freshen up my face, moisturized and prep my skin for the next step..

collagen moistfull emulsion

information from the net :

Moistfull Collagen Emulsion is a moist and rich textured facial emulsion that supplies penetrating moisture and collagen treatment to improve complexion health and look. Active Ingredient Baobab Tree Extract and Collagen combination improves dermal structure and moisture retention.

How to use
After applying the Etude House Moistfull Collgen Essence, dispense an adequate amount and apply along the skin texture. Add vitality over the entire face by lightly tapping on face for better absorption follow by the recommended steps from the Etude House Moistfull Collagen Emulsion Line as follow.

so actually i'm missing a step here.. which is the essence.. well anyway i'm not using essence or serum always anyway.. only when i have extra budget i will buy :) 

so this one has the same hint of scent with the freshener, but this one is softer.. not as strong smell as the freshener. the scent is only light

the texture is very light watery runny lotion. You can see at the picture how it started dripping already when i took picture.So yes, it's a light weight emulsion, but it surprised me, how in this dry season it's actually enough moisturized for my skin. I applied this in the morning for a day moisturizer under the bb cream, and that's enough. i didn't get any dry flakes. so yes, it's a good day moisturizer. my nose was also ok during the day, not get oily or extra sebum.

collagen moistfull cream

information from the net ;
 Fight for the dryness!! Firming moisture cream with baobab tree and collagen extract improving your dermal structure leaving tight and moist skin. Baobab Tree + Collagen combination improves dermal structure and moisture retention

The cream come in this cute little tube, which is better so i don't have to dip my finger in a jar (most of cream comes in a jar). The scent of this cream is light, and although i could smell the same hint of scent like the facial freshner but i can't really smell it unless i really sniff on it. In fact the cream smells more like soap or basic cream without scent.

The texture is a thick creamy gel, for me the texture is perfect, not too light and not to thick. i don't like it too thick or too rich. When i applied this, i like how it moisturized my face in instant, but not too much that made my face look greasy.
I applied this at night, and it's a good moisturizer for a night. it kept my face moisturized and free from dryness during the night. When i woke up in the morning, i felt my nose oily, but it's ok, i don't mind.
So, i like this cream a lot that i'm thinking to buy the full size, so i tried to apply this in the morning to see if it's good as a day moisturizer too. well, it's good actually. as long as i set it wtih bb cream and loose powder on the nose area it didn't make my face oily like during the night. but it may take awhile to wait before applying bb cream, and for people with oily skin this cream could be too rich. As for me too, although it's ok, but i think the emulsion one is better for a day use.

Rub me tender fog peeling

actually i was excited to get this on the set. peeling is my once a week routine, and to get this peeling product i was excited, specially after i tried the other type of this tub me tender and i didn't like it, so i hope this one would work for me.
but...
it didn't.
Not that it didn't work for me.. the product just didn't work as a peeling at all. it didn't peel!!

it's just like a water.. or mist. it doesn't smell bad like the rub me tender bubble peeling. But seriously.. i can't make it work!! i sprayed on my dry-cleaned face, then start giving a massage like other peeling.. it did nothing!!! no peel.. nothing. just like rubbing my face with water..
i've been searching on the net on how to use this, maybe i did it wrong or something..

 

The direction is just to spray on the face then massage it. i tried it again and again.. on my face, on my hand.. still.. nothing!!!! no peeling or scrubbing effect. just like water... what the...

i really want to know if somebody onw this fog peeling or somebody ever tried?is it only me? did i get an expired product or what...?

seriously, this fog peeling is useless for me.. i can't use it.. :(

Conclusion
I like all except the fog peeling. I like all the collagen moistfull line. In fact i might buy the full size bottle of the facial freshner and the cream.. i just realised that i never but etude house skin care in full size bottle.. so far from the tester i've tried they didn't impress me that much, and this line is the first that convince me to buy the full size. i've checked the price on riebutik, chic princessa, and they are not bad..specially the cream,, it comes with a set.. so it's a good deal. Now i just need to try the other travel set for moistfull which is moistfull aloe (that i already have) and moistfull white (planning to get the travel set), which one is the best, i will buy the full size :)

skin care review : skin food steam milk mask cream

The name and the cute packaging just attracted me straight away! lol yup, it's skin food steam milk mask cream. although there is a word "mask" on the name but it's not a mask, it's a cream. well, this is information i got from ebay :

the information written on the packaging is same like the one above

anyway, i bought this review to replace my tony moly multi play cream, the one that i like very much. I'm hoping this could be a good substitute for tony moly, as a multi purpose cream with good moisturizer and a cream i could reach anytime i feel my face getting dry.

First thing first.. look at the packaging.. the carton looks like a milk packaging.. with ingridients printed in front and the back..the cow pattern.. it's just so cute. while the product comes 100 g, so big for a cream product, and the packaging is just like skin food wash off pack/mask packaging.

the texture is this thick creamy..glides smoothly on the skin. the scent? for me it smells like a baby product.. something like a baby lotion.

my experience using this cream..
so as i told you before that i bought this to replace my tony moly multi play cream. i'm using this when my emulsion felt not rich enough for night use, i'm using this in the middle of the day when i felt my face getting dry and needed extra care.But how is it? is it good?

well, the first time i tried this, i like how the cream glides smoothly on the face. i could really feel the "melting" effect, how the cream melt and absorb into my skin..but.. this process take some time. the cream took a long time to absorb, which i don't like. i tried to use this cream in the morning as a morning cream before bb cream. i didn't apply the bb cream straight away. i waited and waited for the cream to absorb. i was choosing clothes to wear that day, do something else before start applying bb cream on top of this cream and oh my god.. it was messy.... it felt like i was applying bb cream into a greasy surface... not pretty at all!! the cream not perfectly absorbed and mixing up with the bb cream--not in a good way.. it was hard to apply bb cream that day.. the result was my face looked greasy instead of dewy.

as a night cream, this is ok, as in it gave me enough moisturiser, but still, it felt greasy and in the morning my nose got sooo oily. so i guess it's for people with dry skin only. it's a good moisturiser, but could be too rich for some people. when my face got some redness and dry flakes i tried using this cream and it didn't sting the redness, which is good.
but i still keep this on my drawer and use this anytime i feel my face dry, or sometimes at night i applied this at the end of my skin care routine.

In conclusion, this cream doesn't impress me that much, and i prefer tony moly multi play cream than this one.With tony moly multi play cream i could use it in the morning and night, but this one not in the morning. maybe only as a night cream.

travel set review : skin food platinum grape cell set

Finished with skin food royal honey travel set, now i', trying this platinum grape cell line. I really like the appearance and the packaging of the line. it looks classy and expensive. anyway, this is a little bit information about this line from skin food website;

[Grape Cell Story]
Bourgogne is one of the three best wine producers in France& Bordeaux, Bourgogne, and Cotes du Rohone & known for the Gamay grapes. Extracted from the Gamay grapes, our grape cells help regenerate skin cells, firming skin from the inside out.
[Platinum Story]
Platinum is one of the purest and rarest metals in the world. With excellent antioxidant effects, Platinum is used for Food, Medical, Cosmetics and etc.



and this is the travel set i got;

from left to right : toner, emulsion, eye cream and cream

But.. before i start with the review, i have to say.. sadly.. i got this set like a year ago..and i didn't use it because i was still using some other products, and now i regret it. I think i should just use it straight away when i got it. why? because i think the products are not "fresh" anymore, specially the cream and eye cream. I do think that the texture has changed. i don't know if it was not sealed properly when i got it (well it's a travel set not the full bottle that always sealed safely) or is it expired??? but i personally think it wasn't sealed properly when i got it. So what happen is i think the texture of the cream changed. take a look at this;

the cream texture "transformed" into balm, the hard one, like when a water transform into ice.. You know what i mean? i can't scoop the cream out, it's like sticking together into a ball of balm. so forgive me i can't review these 2 creams. well, it's a lesson for me that i learned, i should use all my travel set first before the full bottle packaging set. Because the full bottle skin care are sealed properly and normally it could last 2 years as long as you don't open them (or depend on the manufacturing date or other information printed on the packaging about the expiry date) but the travel set or small sample bottle like this, you never know.so next time i'll use them first. in fact after this i will just use all the travel set i have before they turn into like this.

anyway.. so this time i will just review the toner and emulsion!

the size of the bottle is too small comapring to other skin food toner and emulsion travel set.
the toner..

the texture is not that watery toner type. it's a little bit thicker than that, but not thick enough to called it like a gel. when i first tried this i applied it with a cotton pad like i used to apply my toner, but turned out this one didn't work well with cotton pad. somehow the cotton pad absorb almost all the product and i have a little left to apply on my face. So next time i tried this i just used my hand, without cotton pad, and it worked better. The scent is ok, sweet, i could smell the same hint of scent like skin food royal honey. This one doesn't smell grape at all, in my opinion, but still sweet and ok though.
The toner itself is good, not giving me the refreshment feeling like other skin food toner i've tried (peach sake, fresh apple, royal honey, tomato) but this one is giving me extra moisturiser that work together with the emulsion. using both toner and emulsion giving me the moisturizer i need.

the emulsion

The emulsion is this light lotion, not too light and not too thick, for me it's a perfect texture for emulsion. enough to keep my face moisturized during the day. it has the similar scent with the toner. This emulsion didn't give me any rash, or any other discomfort. i'm good using this. and not just it's good as moisturizer, i found that this one is good for my normal-combination skin. the oily-big pores area, specially my nose, was good using this. not oily and produced more sebum.

in conclusion..
too bad, i can't say more or much about this set since the cream and eye cream are not in good form, and the toner and emulsion come in very small size. i really really wish to try more. i also want to try the bb cream of this line. But since it's the premium line of skin food (the price for the line higher than other line), i may have to think twice before buying the full set.

skin care travel set review : skin food royal honey

yeaaayyy another travel set skin care from one of my fav brand!! who doesn't love this kind of cute travel set? well this one is royal honey, i think it's one of their new product in the beginning of 2012? or maybe end of 2011? i'm not sure. hehe. anyway, to brief you a little bit about this line, this is information from skinfood website :

Royal black honey :
Royal black honey is natural raw black honey from south asian forest, one of the UNESCO world heritage sites. Royal black honey enriched with a myriad of nutrients that are amazingly good for the skin.

This range consist lot more of products, not just that 4 i got. Well, the one i got is the toner, essense, emulsion and cream. there are still more, which are the eye cream, mask, mist, massage gel, ampoule, and more... yup. even they have a make up line from this royal honey.. interesting right.

well, let's just get started to my review of this line.
first is the toner,

The toner is clear, and the texture is not watery liquid like skin food fresh apple toner that i just tried. it's more like a very very light gel. From skin food toner, i could say that the texture is between fresh apple toner and gold caviar toner. there is no overwhelming scent from this toner. i couldn't smell any honey scent or other sweet scent, just a soft cosmetic scent i can't describe. The toner itself freshen up my skin without that burning feeling or sting, which i like, and it also didn't dry my skin. double like. so yup, i like this toner.

the essence

Now the essence, when i first squeezed out from the tube, i was surprised by its watery runny gel texture. i thought it would be something like a thick cream. oooppps thank God i didn't squeezed too much. The texture, colour and scent of this really reminded me of skin food honey lip treatment, only this one is not sticky when i applied it to the skin. it absorbed nicely, and smell a little bit like honey, well only a hint, and the artificial one. not real honey. Actually i like this essence, how it absorb nicely and prepared my skin for the next step, and it added more moisturiser when i used it before emulsion and cream.

emulsion

For the emulsion, the colour is white and the texture is quite thick for an emulsion. comparing to other skin food emulsion i've tried, it's thicker than fresh apple and peach sake emulsion, but not as thick as ancient rice emulsion. There is this soft scent with a hint of honey, the scent is not strong. The emulsion itself did a great job in term or moisturizing. it moisturized my skin during the day. even when the royal honey cream finished first, i used this emulsion for a night too and it's also good. But if you have oily skin you might find it a little bit too rich for a day light, you might find this not giving your skin matte. in some days that not very dry here, i found my nose area really oily when using this emulsion.well, if you have oily skin i think you should gor for peach sake or fresh apple range anyway. But since it's winter here and my skin tend to be drier, this one is good for me.

Las but not least is the cream..

it comes in this cute small plastic jar.

it's hard to take a photo of the cream. it's transparent thick gel. wait..it's way thicker to be called as a gel. in fact i think it's more like a light balm. the texture remind me of vaseline gel only this one is thinner. once applied to my skin, i could feel straight away how rich it was. in fact it may need few minutes to fully absorbed. definetely not recommended for a day used, only for night. so yup, i used it as a night cream.
the cream gave me more than enough moisturiser for these winter nights, so it's recommended for those with dry skin or winter time. i do think it could be too rich for a hot summer night.

Overall, i like this royal honey line, and i'm interested to try the honey glow starter from this range. anyone tried the glow starter? pls tell me.
as you can see from my review, i do like this line and so far no break out, no negative effect, using this for more than a week, it maintain my face moisturised, no bumps or redness, dry flakes.. i just wish that i could try more to see how the result for long term use.
This line is the line that i'm considered to buy the full bottle if one day i need a full set of skin care. but for now i need to try the sampe of skin food platinum grape first, and then the new skin food watery berry line.

skin care travel set review : Skin food fresh apple

When i saw this new products on the net, i was sooo excited! why? because i'm a fan of skin food peach sake line and i was wondering when will skin food release new line for pore care. After peach sake, skin food didn't launch more skin care set focusing on pore care. So when finally i saw this, i was like..ooo..finally! and.. "i must try this!!"
and when i saw one of my fav online seller chicprincessa have this item for travel set.. i bought it straight away. A travel set! means i got to try the toner, serum, emulsion and cream without buying the complete full bottle!

So this is the mini set i got. Enough for the whole week. I got the toner, emulsion, serum and sparkling pore cream.
I like the packaging of the full size bottle, it looks so fresh and not boring. . So now i'll just write my opinion and experience of this set.

first.. the toner
This is type of watery liquid toner, not light gel type toner that lately i found. This one smells lovely and fresh. And sweeeet tooo.. just like any other skin food products.All the set smells similar like the toner. The toner on my skin gave this cooling feeling. Like there is alcohol in it. But the good thing is that it smoothen the surface of my big pores nose. But if you have sensitive skin you might get the tingly burn feeling.

Serum

The serum is white colour, with lotion texture, not too thick and not too watery. This serum gave the same effect like peach sake serum, or at least that's how i remember about peach sake serum. It gave me smoooth skin.it's like a good primer that tighten my pores and make the skin smooth. I like it. When i touched my face after applying this, it felt different.

Emulsion

OMG, this is the most watery emulsion i've ever tried. i couldn't even take a picture of the emulsion product. it's just like water that running down my hand straightaway. I really don't know why is it so light like this. In fact my holika cooling toner's texture is thicker than this emulsion. When i see how watery and light this toner, i was sceptical, i though, it won't be enough to keep my face moiturised. and i was right!. it was nice at first, it absorbs really quickly, but before dawn my skin started getting dry. I don't know, maybe this is for summer use, not winter. but still, i'm a little bit dissapointed of this emulsion.

Sparkling pore cream

Now the cream, The texture is thick gel, but not too thick, still easy to spread and absorb. This one felt similar with the serum, only thicker and richer. But there's one downside for me. I felt my skin a little bit itchy and little burn feeling after applying this.. :( oh no... i really hope this set will work good on me like peach sake.. did i use it in the wrong time? maybe i should use it during summer?
I'm really curious with the other cream though, the smooth pore cream. i don;t know why there are 2 types of the cream and what the difference betwen them, but i'm really curious to try if the other type works on me. Because so far i like the toner and the serum.

Conclusion..

I really like the toner and serum, but not the emulsion and sparkling pore cream. i'm curious to try the smooth pore cream version though, and also the peeling.. i want to try the peeling!!
A little bit dissapointed because the emulsion is not as good as the peach sake emulsion, not what i was expected, but at least the serum has the same quality.

Toner review : Holika holika smooth egg skin cooling toner

When i first knowing holika holika, i was sold straightaway to their cute packaging and products. I started by trying some products, and turned out they are quite good. So i kept buying and trying for more. This one is a toner. I always bought extra toner because i knew that toner will finish first before the lotion or emulsion. So for 2 bottles emulsion i'm gonna need 3 toners. or even 4? anyway, i chose this cooling toner because it's targeted for pore tightening.

SO,Are you ready for this cutie?
yup...cute cute cute... take a look at the bottle

it looks lika a bottle from fairy tale.. like a potion bottle right? :)
Anyway, there is some english information on the packaging box.

Holika holika
smooth egg skin cooling toner
Like a cold water patting massage, this innovative pore care gel skin provides tense to the skin with a fresh cooling sense tighting the skin pore.
Application guide : simply double the coolness by shaking 4-5 times before use, changing it's gel form to liquid. Apply proper amount on the skin after morning and evening wash.


So first of all, i like the packaging. i like to see this cute bottle standing on my table, i wish i have a set of it. But i just wanted to try first so i only bought the toner.
However, when i opened the bottle and tried it for the first time, i had a hard time trying to scoop the toner out. there is this plastic cap with a very tiny hole, and the hole didn't help so i just opened it and now it's much better.

The cap without the plastic cover.

Now to the product,
the texture is a light gel type, not that water type. If i shake the bottle first, it gave me a little bit cooling sensation, but not too much, just a little. I don't know about the scent, what it smells like, i can't figure out. but it's just smell sweet and ok, not over powering.
This toner didn't dry my face, in fact it gave me this fresh feeling plus moisturized. it tightens my pores specially on my nose, and get my face ready for the next step. it sounds good isn't it? in fact it is good. i like it. A LOT. yup, this is officially my fav toner for this year!
