REVIEW: MIZON Snail Repair Blemish Balm

Here I am again for another BB cream review :)
I stopped buying new sets of BB cream these days because aside from the fact that they are a bit expensive, I do not have time to finish them all. Some of them are still waiting to be opened.
Here's one of the BB creams that has been staying on my shelf for some time so I decided to open it last week. :)

My first ever MIZON BB Cream^_^

*********************************************************************


PRODUCT NAME: MIZON Snail Repair Blemish Balm 
*It's a BB Cream :) 
*I think this is my first time to purchase and use a MIZON product. MIZON is a Korean Cosmetics and Skin Care brand in South Korea.
CONTENT: 50ml

PRICE: PhP 445 (from HAN RYU)
SHADE: Comes in one shade only. 

REVIEW: THE FACE SHOP Charcoal Phyto Powder in Cleansing Foam

Yipeeee! I am again doing another review for this month. 
*I just hope I can continue on doing reviews regularly ^_^



I bought a 4 facial foams last month. 3 of them from The Face Shop. 

The Face Shop Whitening Rice Water, Etude House Baking Powder Pore Cleansing Foam, The Face Shop Charcoal Phyto Powder in Cleansing Foam and The Face Shop Acne Solution Cleansing

Being a sucker for anything that "prevents pimples and keeps oily skin at bay", I've decided to purchase these babies. 


Today, I'll do a quick review of THE FACE SHOP Charcoal Phyto Powder in Cleansing Foam. 


PRODUCT: THE FACE SHOP Charcoal Phyto Powder in Cleansing Foam
Content: 170 ml / 5.74 fl. oz. 
Price: PhP 331 (from Han Ryu) 

Description: 
Here's what the description in the bottle says: 

Deep-cleansing facial foam with Black Formula containing charcoal thoroughly cleanses impurities, makeups residue and sebum inside pores with its maximum absorption and rich foam. 

Directions for use: 

Dispense an adequate amount and lather fully with water. Massage gently onto the entire face and rinse thoroughly with clean water

I just love that this product has an English translation for the description, directions for use and even the ingredients. 

Compared to most facial foams/wash, this one's darker (it should be because it says CHARCOAL on the label).
It contains small 'beads' which I think is for the 'exfoliating' part or just to remove dirt. 
It really does not contain a lot of 'beads' so it won't really irritate or hurt your skin once you use it. 


SCENT: When I first tried this one, I felt a bit nostalgic. I dunno but the scent really reminds of something. It took me days to realize that it smells like the original POND's Facial Wash! If you grew up during my time, Pond's Facial Wash was like the MOTHER OF ALL FACIAL WASH. Everyone in highschool had a bottle / tube of Pond's Facial Wash and it was like everyone's using it during our lunch breaks. These days, Pond's has different kinds of facial wash/foams to choose from.
I haven't used Pond's for a long time and highschool for me was really FUN so I am so sorry for being so nostalgic. :) 

Ooopsie! Sorry for my dry hands. ^_^ 

Once you lather it, it creates a gentle foam. The scent is not too strong too. 


THE TEST: 
Here's how I do my tests on facial foams/wash.
Since I ALWAYS use BB creams + Foundation / Face Powder, I literally have a second layer of skin that I have to shed off before I sleep. 
So I always use facial cream/cleanser to remove those nasty BB Cream + Foundation/Face Powder. A good facial foam/wash for me is when it can remove all those residues without the use of any makeup remover, facial cleansers etc. 


Without any use of facial cleansers, makeup remover etc., I used the THE FACE SHOP Charcoal Phyto Powder in Cleansing Foam  

I used Etude House AC Clinic Daily Toner and here's what I got: 

Sorry because the shot is a bit blurry. 

Here's my verdict: 
1. It is definitely a DEEP CLEANSING FOAM. It removed traces of BB cream and Foundation. 

2. Well this one is definitely good for those with 'super' oily skin. After using, your skin will feel a little 'tight' and somehow dry. I dunno what will be the effect for those with dry skin though. 

3. Unfortunately, during my first few days of using this, I got breakouts. Not major ones but I had zits. :(  That's for my skin. I guess my skin was still adjusting to the ingredients of this product. I still use this one but I guess this will be my last. 



For Deep Cleansing - CHECK!
Removes makeup - CHECK! 
Perfect for those who has oily skin - CHECK!
*But since I had breakouts during my first few days of using this, I might pass on this next time :) 

REVIEW: THE FACE SHOP Clean Face Acne Solution Foam Cleansing

I am quite stress for the last two months. 

My life has been in a drama these past few weeks so I am emotionally stressed. :(
So most of my zits came out and I quite forgot to take care of my zit-prone skin. 

Good thing I have a lot of stuff to combat these zits. Aside from BB Cream, I am literally addicted to facial wash. Yeah. You read it right. FACIAL WASH. 

I think this addiction all stemmed from my experience in highschool and college (here's another drama). I think I've mentioned before that my acne really lowered down my self-esteem so now that I am working and earning, I do spend a lot with skin care.


Anyways, here's a quick review of my current favorite facial wash: THE FACE SHOP Clean Face Acne Solution Foam Cleansing

Product name: THE FACE SHOP Clean Face Acne Solution Foam Cleansing

(*I felt something is wrong with how they named the product. I think it should be: CLEAN FACE ACNE SOLUTION CLEANSING FOAM. Naah! never mind the name. I am in LOVE with this product - oops!) 

Content: 150ml /5.07 fl.oz

Price: PhP 399 (I got this again from Han Ryu)

*** (Okay, lemme clear this again that I am NOT being paid by the seller to promote her online store. I've been buying from her ever since and I always indicate in my blog where I bought my items, whether from Han Ryu or from other stores. It's just that I always buy from her because she is so nice and the products are really affordable)

REVIEW: HOLIKA HOLIKA Jewel-light Waterproof Eyeliner

Hi! :)
I've mentioned last time that I am learning how to put eye makeup on and I am starting with EYELINERS ^_^ 


I've bought some eyeliners and I am really amazed with what eyeliners can do!


From this: 

To this: 

Well, actually it's not much of a difference but I felt that my eyes looked more 'alive' when I put on the eyeliner :) 

I think I am starting to love eyeliners now. 

Today, I'll do a review for one of the eyeliners I purchased online (got this from Han Ryu) 

It's from Holika Holika, a Korean brand. 

Product Name: HOLIKA HOLIKA Jewel-light Waterproof Eyeliner 01 

Color: Black

Price: PhP 215 (I bet this is much more expensive) 

REVIEW: ETUDE HOUSE LIP AND EYE REMOVER

Hello!

I am back again with another review of an Etude House product :)

Aside from BB Cream, I am also a fan of LIP PRODUCTS. Lip stains, lipsticks, lip gloss, lip tint - name it. 

I just have on problem with Lip tints and lipstains, sometimes they really stay on your lips for a long time. :(
I am also practicing how to put on eye make-up these days so I had to look for a perfect lip and eye make-up remover. 

I got a sample of Etude House Lip and Eye Remover from an online store on Ebay. I actually loved it! 

Here's my quick review about this amazing product. 

***********************************************

Product Name: Etude House Lip and Eye Remover 

(*scary name. I think it should be Lip and Eye Make-up Remover.)

*From Etude House 

Price: PhP 198.00 
Content: 100ml
This is a lip and eye makeup remover from Etude House. 

It comes in a clear plastic bottle. 

Uhm. I hope my eyes and lips won't be removed after using this product.. :)
