skin care set review : innisfree olive real skin care kit

Don't you just looooove skin care kit like this? You can try the whole set without buying the full size! i found it really helpful. For example, i bought full size bottle of skinfood omija skincare toner and emulsion after i tried the skin care kit sample and happy with it.

This time, it's innisfree olive real skin care kit. wait. i've tried this before loong time ago..maybe 2-3 years ago. yes i did, and i was quite happy, so when i saw one seller offer this set i bought it again. yeaaayy..
Olive real?
this is the information on the box:
olive real skin care kit with organic extra virgin olive oil
enriched with the best quality of organic extra virgin olive oil from crete island, olive real deeply nourishes skin and retains moisture for healthy radiant skin.

anyway this is what i got :

olive real skin / toner 15 ml
olive real lotion 15 ml
olive real eye cream 5 ml
olive real power cream 5 ml
olive real essential oil 2 sachet

now to the review, first is the toner and lotion

left : toner and right : lotion
Both toner and lotion have this nice natural-organic scent. it smells nice, sweet and not overpowering.
The toner is very thick, might be the thickest toner i have tried. it's not kind of liquid watery toner, but more like very light gel. but it's very refreshing and moisturising. i think this toner will be good for those with dry or sensitive skin. or in winter time when you feel your skin dry.
The lotion also thick and rich enough for lotion, not too watery, and in my opinion it's a very good moisturiser. it's rich enough to keep my face moisturized during the day. i don't have to put extra moisturiser in this dry season. but it could be to rich for those with oily skin or summer time though. i think if i use this while i was in jakarta it would make my face get or looks oily.

power cream and eye cream

left : power cream and right : eye cream

both are rich and thick cream. i thing the power cream is slightly thicker than the eye cream.
i use both only for night before sleeping. the power cream is very rich and it kept my skin moisturized during the night.
as for the eye cream, i don't use eye cream regularly maybe because i dont have budget for eye cream yet or not aware enough how important to use eye cream, or simply just lazy to add another routine on my skin care. but anyway since i have it now so i just use it at night, and cannot tell you the effect yet.

last but not least..olive real essential oil

essential oil? the texture is exactly just like an olive oil, well it is actually. and since it's olive essential oil so i guess it suppose to be multipurpose oil right.. that you can use all over your body from head to toe.
i was curious how to use this as a skin care, but i guess it would act like serum? so use it before cream? i'm not sure but last night i tried it that way. and woaaa.. this one smells lovely. the nicest smell among this olive line. and as i applied on my face, i thought it would be oily and sticky, but no,,, turned out it absorbed well and gave my skin extra moisturised. niceeee..

overall, i still like this olive line from innisfree, specially for extra treat in this dry winter season when my skin needs extra care. i would recommend this tho those with dry skin or for winter time, but not for those with oily skin and summer humid season.

Let's try out some samples!

I mentioned in my previous post that i have finished my skin food fresh juice c cream.Before i start using my peach sake skin care line, i decided to try samples i got. I still have my fresh juice toner so i used the toner and then for the cream i tried samples and decided to make short review each one of them.


tony moly vita vital MX7 cream
i'm not familiar with tony moly. In fact this is the first tony moly product i have tried. i don't know what this cream for. is it for oily sking, dry skin, anti aging/wrinkle care? i have no idea.. First impression for me is always the scent. i always put the cream close to my nose to sniff it before apply on my face. this one smell ok. Something medical-herb, but not strong. The cream it self, i was surprise that it kept my face moisturized all day. so it is rich, good moisturizer, but i don't like the scent.


beauty credit coenzyme Q10
same like tony moly, i'm not familiar with beauty credit and this is my first. i read on the net that coenzyme Q10 is one of their popular product. It smells just like regular cosmetic brand in the market., nothing special. the serum itself, i like the texture of this serum. in fact the texture is just the way i like it for serum. creamy but light, absorb easily, and good moisturizer.


Missha all around safe block soft finish sun milk spf 50+
SPF 50+ ??!! wow. i wish i knew this product 10 years ago when i was still in school and used to swim on sunday! lol. anyway.. i forgot when was the last time i have sun block! ever since i was in college, office, i always choose make up base or foundation with spf, until now that i use bb cream everyday. i just can't be bother to put another sun block cream. back to this cream, i was surprised that the texture is soo watery. what i remember sun block texture is a thick cream. or nowadays all sun block texture like this? anyway, it is watery, so it absorbed easily. very light scent, almost no scent for me. i used this before my bb cream, and it was just ok.nothing special

Missha cream
what cream? seriously, i don't know the name of this cream as nothing written in english. all korean. Ok, first impression, the scent. it smell herb, and the strong one! smells like natural medicine from herb. i don't like the smell of it. But the cream itself is quite good. just like the tony moly.not too rich, doesn't make your face oily.

The face shop arsainte eco-therapy serum and cream.
first impression, of course, the scent. o my God.. it smells weird.. i can't describe it. herb-medicine smell, but imagine the 'not nice' one? i don't know, maybe it is just me. the cream it self is not rich enough to keep me moisturized all day, and the serum is very light.

next, skin food! what i like from skin food samples is that they are big size!! not like other brand samples. with skin food samples i can use them 3 to 4 times sometimes. this 2 samples in fact i bought them. yup, for skin food samples i don't mind buying them.

skin food green tea milk cleansing foam (fresh)
what i love about skin food is the scent, how they smell wonderful and yummy! and this one is dissapointed me. first, it smells just like regular cleansing from supermarket. no green tea or milk scent at all. second, this is the first time i experienced drying effect from a cleansing foam. i read many reviews about how cleansing foam can give you some drying effect, but i never felt that way, until now i know how it felt. When i rensed with water, i can really feel my face drying, i can even hear the squeaky of my hands rubbing my face.oh no...
or is it because it is fresh type, and they have moisturizing type?


skin food black sugar mask wash off
This is my second sachet of black sugar mask wash off. First time i tried it was 2 years ago when i got it for free from my purchase. i liked it, so when i saw this on chic princessa samples folder, i just clicked buy. it smells yummy, and feels good too. my face feels so smooth and moistured after wasf off.

review : sample skin food avocado & carrot toner & emulsion, missha super aqua toner & emulsion

 Review sample..
samples i bought..

again, this post is my previous post from my previous blog http://galleryibu.multipy.com that i just copied here

sample-sample ini aku beli di onikchan dan intenshop.. lumayan lah buat nyobain cocok apa ngga..
sample-sample ini set nya toner dan emulsion,, yang carrot ngga sempet di foto karena dipake pas di jakarta, habis trus dibuang dehh..

** skinfood carrot toner dan emulsion
enak,, seger,, refreshing bangeeettt.. wanginya juga enak.. aku cocok pake ini.. tonernya juga lembut, seger, ga bikin nyut nyut kaya kalo pake toner2 yang mengandung alkohol... emulsionnya ringan banget.. makanya aku agak ragu klo carrot ini suitable untuk di Yaman yang udaranya kering bangett.. agak nyesel juga ga nyobain carrot utk di yaman

** skinfood avocado toner dan emulsion
ini my new favourite.. aku pake pas di yaman.. awalnya aku pake seri skinfood fresh juice vit c yang aku beli di riebutik.. nahhh.. kayanya fresh juice ini lebih cocok buat summer, sementara sekarang udah masuk` winter di yaman,, udah mulai dingin dg udara keriiinng bgt.. aku pake fresh juice malah jadi agak kering.. langsung aku coba avocado,, ternyata avocado ini cocok buat winter..
tonernya enak, seperti carrot,, lembut dan melembabkan.. dan emulsionnya,, cukup untuk melembabkan dan ga bikin kulit kering,, makanya jadi penasaran klo emulsionnya aja rich apalagi cream nya.. hmmm kayanya tahun depan aku bakal beli set avocado botol penuhnya deh..

** missha super aqua toner dan emulsion
ini aku pake pas hari2 terakhir di jakarta dan pas baru sampai yaman,,
pertama, botol sample nya keciiiilll bangeeettt.. klo liat di foto, lebih kecil dari skinfood avocado... ini mah ga puass..
namanya super aqua, aku berharap ini bisa mengatasi kulit kekeringan dooong,,
tapi ngga, biasaaa bangeeettt,, formula emulsionnya terlalu soft ngga rich enough untuk melembabkab kulit aku di udara kering Yaman.. so, this is why we need sample.. kita bisa tau mana yang cocok dan mana yang ngga, jadi next time ngga salah beli..

para seller .. aku tunggu sample2nya..

update march 2010--> from all samples above, i'm thinking of buying the full size of avocado line.. i got confused between avocado and carrot, both i like. i like the freshness of carrot, but as i think it over, i think avocado would suit me better in this dry country. i'm gonna buy avocado cream on my next trip to jakarta!
