Secret Key Black Out Pore Clean Toner Review

I just now realised that I haven´t wrote a review about this product, but already compared it to the Mizon Witch Hazel toner and mentioned that I like this better. *facepalm*
Don´t know why I didn´t post about this sooner when I loved it...

I´ve only this picture that I took in December when I received it, because right now I can´t find the bottle... (You can see the Christmas decorations in the background.)

Holika Holika Honey Sleeping Pack - Blueberry Review

I have a huge backlog of products I still need to write about. Let´s start with this sleeping pack I started using in January. This is Holika Holika Honey Sleeping Pack - Blueberry

Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence Review

Cosrx brand is a big favourite for a lot of people. They have minimal ingredients in their products (thus lessening the chance of a bad reaction) and usually work great. As a brand they are approachable and cater to the international community too.
I own at least 4-5 things from them, which mostly worked like a charm. Now I will write a review of such a product, the Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence:

Ciracle Anti-Blemish Teatree Wash Review

After the fiasco that was the Etude House Baking Powder wash I wanted to find a low pH cleanser that might even help with acne. That´s how I stumbled upon the Ciracle Anti-Blemish Teatree Wash gel cleanser, about which I´ve read good and bad equally.
Ciracle is sister company to Cosrx, so that was a big plus in their favour.

Etude House Baking Powder Pore Cleansing Foam Review

Etude House Baking Powder Pore Cleansing Foam was one of my first purchases after dicovering Korean/Asian scincare. I´ve read a lot of good things about it online so I was excited to try it out. However a few weeks after starting to use I decided to retire it.

Vuty Design shopping experience and haul post

I´ve read about this online shop at another blog and decided to check them out. They have a 5USD shipping rate or they offer free shipping with tracking for orders over 20 USD.
After some comparing with other sites, I´ve found quite a few items that I was intrigued by and here was the cheapest to buy. So I quickly reached the 20USD mark, but I kept adding more things into my basket.
My order came out to be 37USD, and right before I placed my order just for a second I thought about adding something to reach 40USD and splitting it in two, but then I dismissed it as unnecessary precaution.
Turns out, it wouldn´t have been...
Unless many online shops, who mostly don´t state the actual value of the package and save us custom fees, Vuty Design truthfully printed it on. (This will show me to order only around 20USD when trying out new shops.)

Lebelage Pearl Mask Review

I can´t believe that I haven´t wrote a post of this mask yet! Even though I have already went through 6-7 of it. And if any mask deserves it´s own post, than it´s this one.
This mask is from a budget brand, Lebelage from which I´ve already reviewed a few masks.

Mizon Witch Hazel 90% Toner Review

I´ve read great things about this toner on other blogs, but for me it wasn´t as effective.
On to the review of Mizon Witch Hazel 90% Toner:

Innisfree Bija, Blackberry, Tea tree, Strawberry Mask Review

Skin18.com Ingredients Box No.2 Unboxing

This is the second box of my subscription. And I have to say, it looks more like a traditional subscription box than the previous one.

Innisfree Green Tea Sleeping Pack Review

This Innisfree Green Tea sleeping pack came highly recommended, but there were a few issues that were a surprise and it didn´t becane my favourite.

Jolse Random Box Unboxing 2 - COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All in one Cream Version

So after I´ve recieved my previous Jolse Random Box, I went and bought another one before the end of this promotion. I figured I can get some interesting stuff and I love the surprise.

I choose the COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All in one Cream version, because I´m almost done with the Snail 96 Essence and I love it, but wanted to get a lightweight cream that might be good for my oily skin.

If I can say, this was even better than the COSRX AHA version of this box! There were two things included that I´ve wanted to try out for a long time and a few that might prove to be exciting. So on to the contents:

Scinic All in One Honey Ampoule review

I´ve been using the Scinic All in One Ampoule for 3 months. It contains all the honey goodness with 90% honey extract plus royal jelly and propolis extract. Also niacninamide and adenosine which are both good for whitening.

 

Vanedo Beauty Friends Snail Essence Mask review

I´ve bought this Vanedo Snail Mask really cheap from Ebay for a pack of 10.
Fit: Strange. The only thing coming to mind. Here and there too tight and didn´t cover other parts.
Scent: Fairly scentless.
The essence: clear, runny liquid a lot still at the bottom of the pack.
I had left it on for 30 minutes.
Initial opinion: After removing it, the essence soaked in really quickly and left my skin feeling moist.
The day after: Skin feeling moisturised, but nothing else.
Conlusion: Delivers what you can expect from a cheap mask like this but I won´t repurchase it. (Still have 6 left even after giving away a few.)

Mega Haul post from Testerkorea, Global Interpark, Yesstyle, Secret Key, Skin18 and Ebay

These are some of the things I´ve received in December. Christmas shopping for myself. :)

Global Interpark - Shopping experience and mini haul

Through another blogger´s haul post ( while looking for mask reviews) I´ve learned about a site called Global Interpark.
They have cult items with free shipping and often the price is at least half of what you would pay for it elsewhere. And the products are authentic as far as I can tell.
Just to name a few that you can buy right now with free shipping: Banila & Co Clean It Zero Jumbo size (180ml), Skinfood Gold Caviar toner and emulsion set (both full size), Leaders and Mediheal masks, the famous Laneige water sleeping mask, Innisfree, Sulwhasoo products and also cushions and a few make-up.

My morning skincare routine in winter

Here is a quick overview of my morning skincare routine. I work at a Christmas market at least 4 days a week so I´m frequently in cold and windy weather while also in a heated space. (As much as a gas heater can heat a semi open stall...) So even if I have oily skin I need all the moisture I can get, otherwise my skin will feel tight and uncomfortable.

So here is how I combat needing a lot of mositure while having oily skin. 

Actually forgot to include another really important product: Innisfree´s No-Sebum Mineral Powder.

Also the 3rd bottle from the left is a decanted Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence.

Cosrx Ultimate Moisturizing Honey Overnight Mask Review

This was one of my first purchases since getting interested in asian skincare. I´ve only read good things about Cosrx, so this was my first choice for a sleeping pack.
I have to say, this was as good as the hype around it led me to believe.

Beauty Friends II Essence Mask Sheet Pack Raspberry Review

According to Skin18, from where I´ve bought this sheet mask, it contains Rubus Coreanus fruit extract (which is species of raspberry native to Korea, Japan and China) that makes skin supple and soft. Also, it should help fade age spots and reduce discoloration, plus help protect skin from damaging sun rays.

 

Skin18 Haul (Sheet masks everywhere...)

My haul from Skin18.com. Skin18 is an online shop focused on Korean skincare products. According to their website, their mission is to bring you products that will make you look forever 18. (How cute is that? :))
Their sheet mask selection is really great (with big discounts too!), as you can see bellow.

I placed my order on the 2nd of November, they sent out my order on the 4th of November.
It has arrived on the 10th, less then a week after posting my package, weekends included. I was really impressed.
They had a promotion, when you sign up for their newsletter you recieve a coupon code for -11USD from your order. They also have a free shipping offer in November over 30USD, so I teamed up with my sister to buy some masks. (Just to be clear you have to buy at least 41USD worth of product if you use your code and want the free shipping, I didn´t know it, but it wasn´t a hardship to find 11 dollars worth of something to buy from them. :D)

All the masks still packed together.
