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.)

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:

Secret Key Honey Bee´s AC Control Mist Review

Secret Key is an excellent and inexpensive brand and every skincare item I have tried from them ( their Chubby Jelly Tin Pack I´ve got as a freebie with my haul from their official site just isn´t working... but that´s cosmetics) has been really great.
While I haven´t yet wrote reviews about them, but I´m using 5 products right now from this brand and at least as much is still waiting in my untried box. I love it that much! :)

Let´s go onto my new love, Secret Key Honey Bee´s AC Control Mist:
I´m fairly new to mists, for a long time I couldn´t fathom why would they be necessary. And while I´ve been using this in winter, so I didn´t use it to refresh during the daytime as most mists are intended to be used but the application quickly grew on me. No more patting, when I was in a hurry I just used a few spritzes, put on some moisturiser, sun cream and I was ready to go.

This is an almost empty bottle, the second is already in the mail!

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:

Ekel/Malie Coenzyme Q10, Collagen, Aloe, Pearl and Vitamin Ultra Hydrating Essence Mask Review

This is going to be a joint review. I had a few different kinds from the same brand off Ebay, but most weren´t that awesome to merit a single post about them. 
I still love the cucumber mask from them the best, use them fairly regurarly when my skin needs soothing.
Also I´m fairly sure the Ekel and Malie masks are the same brand, or at least their packaging is eerily simiral.... So that´s why they got rounded up together.

Ekel Coenzyme Q10 Ultra Hydrating Essence Mask 

I have only a few notes about this mask, mainly that it had no scent. It was quiet pleasant and hydrating. Also didn´t broke me out. 
All together wasn´t an unpleasant experience but nothing too exciting either. I still have one left, but I won´t repurchase it.

Skin18.com Ingredient Box Unboxing and Giveaway winning

Skin18.com has really amped up their game in the last couple of months. They have the incredible offer of free masks and you have only to pay for the shipping price, every week they offer free masks to try out (no need for shipping fee, just a review) and have a ton of giveaways.
Last month they have introduced their own subscription box. It´s a mostly mask subscription box, which I have to say wasn´t clear for me before ordering! I´m not sure if I wasn´t really reading the information or it really wasn´t clear enough ( I started to suspect it, when I saw sneek peaks on their tumblr site). Anyway, I´m already subscribed for 3 months, we will see how it goes.

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.)

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.

 

Benton Aloe BHA Skin Toner Review

Sadly this was my first "bad" product I´ve bought that really didn´t work for my skin. More about it under the cut.

Lebelage Red Ginseng Mask Review

I´ll copy the decription off the Ebay page I´ve bought it from:

RED GINSENG (For tight skin and supply nutrition)

• It contains red ginseng extract is effective in preventing trouble, its will help skin surface smooth.
• The change of seasons, skin become rough and dark, ginseng extract will help skin plentiful moisture and nourishment.
• Tired and rough skin giving firmer and elastic.

Tony Moly Clean Dew Apple Mint Cleansing Oil Review

Since posting about my skincare possessions, more than a month has gone by. Some products I´ve already repurchased since then, some were cast away because of reasons and there are quite a few new additions.

One of the ones I have repurchased is Tony Moly´s Clean Dew Apple Mint Cleansing Oil. (Btw that´s a handful of a name...)
This product is the first step in the double-cleansing process that consists of using an oil based cleanser and a foaming one.
