Hair Mask
After noticing that my hair looked really unhealthy I went out and got Skinfood's Moisture Egg Hair Pack. It was about 6000 Won around 6 dollars US. I used this for about a month once a week and it made my hair really soft with less frizz. It smells like cookie dough and I LOOOOOVE it! The smell just lingers in your hair for about a day and it always leaves my craving for a cookie! After using this, I think I've experieced some hair lose... When I touch my hair it just feels like I have less hair... Maybe it's because there is less frizz = less volume? Overall I really like this hair mask and would totally repurchase. However, I want to try other Skinfood's hair mask so I will probably not get this again unless this is better!

Okay first of all it has been such a long time since I last posted! Oh and happy new years! I've been really busy and posting was the last thing on my mind. Anyways, there is this amazing skincare "device" that I recently bought at Sephora and it has changed my skin drastically! This amazing device is an oval shaped, made of rubber with many "fibers" on it; scrubbler (thats what I call it). It was about $7 (Cnd) and it is definitely worth the price. Its suppose it gently exfoliate your skin and help remove your black heads. What I love about this is that the handle has a little suction cup that you can stick on your mirror or shower walls after you are finished.


I don't have HUGE skin problems just a pimple here and there with a few black heads on my nose. This thing didn't get rid of my blackheads but this thing made my skin so soft and smooth. Also, this made my cleansers much more effective! Currently I use Clinique's cleanser (the one in the green bottle that comes with the 3 step system) and I didn't really think that the cleanser lathered very well. Oh boy was I wrong! This thing made so much bubbles you wouldn't believe it! I didn't use more or less of the product, but the way it lathered on this scrubbler vs. my hand was unbelievable!
How to use this: This does not come with instructions so this is how I use it. I use this only at night for it does somewhat exfoliate your skin and you do not want to get out in the sun right after (even if you use sunscreen). I wet my face and the scrubbler and put a pea size on the center of the scrubbler. After, I just gently rub it against my face and you will start seeing bubbles. Rinse and just do your regular skincare :)
Overall 5/5 I would totally purchase this!

Chapstick 100% Naturals Lip Butter
![]() |
| I got the purple one |
When I apply this to my lips, it goes on sooooooo smoothly! I literary glides on! When I put it on my lips, it its really "light" and I feel like I put oil on my lips. It also gives me a beautiful natural shine. The best part is, after it goes away, you lips will still be moisturized and you won't need to reapply!
This chapstick line comes with another lip balm called botanical melody, however I read many negative reviews so I would recommend to buy the lip butter instead.
Overall 5/5 I really like this product and my hunt is at rest, until I get bored with this one ^.^

Tony Moly Morning Pack
Okay, I went to Tony Moly a few days ago and found the cutest thing in the world! Its apparently like leave on mask you only put on mornings and it is suppose to prep you for makeup while adding some moisture to your skin ; so it is somewhat a primer. You are suppose to put this on after putting on your moisturizer and before putting on your sunscreen. The price for this is 10500 won which is about $10.50 US
The consistency is reaaaaaallly light! If you have ever tried out Clinique's Extended Thirst Relief, this is almost the same cosistency except more lighter. I really love how fast this penetrates into my skin and the smell is really subtle; I think the smell is like a quiet tone of vanilla.
I love the packaging for this! Its in a little cup and the "spoon" comes out and you can use it was a spatula. Its really secure and well made!
When I first tried it out two days ago, I really liked how my skin felt like it was "waking up". There was no tingly feeling, but the cream itself was really cool (the temperature cool =P). I only need a pea size amount since the cream was easily spreadable. During lunch time, when I looked at myself in the mirror, my pores looked invisible and my skin was really smooth! There are no breakouts so far, but I'll updated here in about a month to see how I like it then ^.^
With my short experience I really like this product and it is worth every penny 5/5
...Will update in about a month
Okay its been over a month and I still really like this product! I learned that it works better if I apply this AFTER putting on my sunscreen because when I put this before, I find that my sunscreen doesn't really get absorbed into my skin and just flakes off. Its fine with makeup though, sunscreen just seems to be the problem....

Kiehl's Calendula Herbal-Extract Toner
I've been looking for a toner for months, and I think I found a pretty decent one. It is called Kiehls Calendula Herbal - Extract Toner and it is alcohol free. Although it is for normal to oily skin, I think it is just fine for my normal to dry skin. I love how gentle this toner is and how natural this toner is made out of. It smells like nice tea and although some people might not like the smell, I find it very soothing. There are petals in this toner are well; which makes it look cool, but I doubt they are necessary. Sadly other than that there is nothing really special about it. The high price tag of 58000 won which is about 58 dollars US makes me unhappy. In addition, It didn't do much for my skin, but it didn't break me out either... The SA at the Kiehls store gave me many samples of cleansers, sunscreen, moisturizer, etc. so after using some of those, I may go out and buy some more. I'll update on how those work!

Overall this toner is 3/5 because of its high price tag and it didn't do much for my skin thus I don't think I'll repurchase. If anyone has a good toner they would like to recommend please comment!
Tony Moly Lip Scrub
If you don't want to rub your lips off, I have a feeling you are going to love this! I was first attracted to this because of the cute packaging. As you can see in the picture, it is a lip that is colored hot pink. The scrub also has a cousin (which is red) and it is a lip balm. I use this product when I have chapped lips. I make my lips moist by dabbing on water, and then I just rub the product on. It has a peach like scent, and it is not abrasive like other lip scrubs I've tried (e.g. Body Shop). However, one downside to this is that since it is so "light" it may take a few more tries to get rid of your flaky lips. The consistency feels like a light moisturizer and it penetrates into your lips really fast; so if you don't have a lip balm near you after using this, you will be just fine for a while.

Skinfood rice concealer
Dark circles have always been with me since I was in elementary school and they've only gotten darker. About two months ago, I tried Skinfood's rice concealer and so far I'll say it is a okay concealer. First of all the color selection isn't too great with only two colors. I got the lightest since was specifically getting it for my under eyes and the color I'd say did fit my skin tone (being a NC20). This concealer has a smell to it so if you want an unscented concealer skip this because the scent of this is stronger most concealers I tried. I would say it gives of a light to medium coverage because for the under eye you would want to put the smallest amount possible since you don't any caking, but if you put on a bit more I would say a full coverage with this is possible. I wouldn't say this concealer is thick or thin but right in the middle, so blending it is really easy, thus it is ideal for under the eyes and the staying power is fantastic. However, this is not my holy grail concealer and it leaves me to keep looking for THE one. My dark circles are pretty dark is this only lightens them a little. It does not cover them up like I want a concealer to do. Another thing I don't like about is the stopper at the end of the tube. The stopper is suppose to sort of "wipe down" the doe tip of the concealer, but the stopper doesn't do anything along those lines; the stopper is too big to do anything. I got this concealer for 4300 won making that about $4.30 US
I would give this a 3.5/5 and I would not purchase for under eye purposes, but for anything else, it can be a possibility.
