[ REVIEW ] Moisture Boost Lipcolor Balm in 06 Wine by SILKYGIRL

So, you saw the lip stain from my previous post?
Actually I want to include this as my March Haul, but I received this quite late, like a week ago.
My sister gave me for free! Because her friends brought 3 pieces of this, same color for her and she gave one for my Mom and one for me.. I'm so excited about this product 'cause I've never seen a lip stain that looks like a crayon before, except... Vivid Pop Stick from ETUDE HOUSE.. Lol.. I have that one but it's not suitable anymore for review.. It's almost gone..



So, just assume that this is my first crayon lipstick!
SILKYGIRL has lots of awesome product and I just realize about it like.. this month, after my friend gave me a free eyeliner and now this.. But SILKYGIRL here is not as good as in Malaysia..
They have no proper or details on the wrapper. No box. Just plastic




It's so hard to find a color like this. Exactly like what I want, I don't know if ETUDE HOUSE has it, but this is just so rare, and it appeared in the form of crayon pencil. Unique! And now I'm completely curious with what they have, and planning to check the counter when I bump into it..




Moreover guys, I saw in Google that everyone loves this color.. Saw a lot of blogs and they bought at least 2 colors and one of them is 06 Wine.
Weeee! I'm just lucky...!
Hahahaha
It's suitable for any skin colors.. From bright to dark. It just makes your lips stand out!

(from bottom to top) I ran a first layer, and then add another layer, until four times


It's so pigmented and smooth! Unlike ordinary lipstick, and that's why I love it a lot!

Put it on? Alright~


I only put foundation here, and I guess this lipstick is suitable for night event or Halloween! I just got that feeling man.. Hahahaha..
In a shape of crayon, it makes us even easier to draw on our lips, especially the outer liner.. You don't need an extra lip liner, trust me. Hahaha.. I really love this!!!
Does any Korean brand sells similar thing as this? Please inform me... Thanks!


PROS:
1. Pigmented and not too glossy

2. Waterproof! Actually I forgot this morning that after taking pictures, I straight away went to shower, and it was still there when I poured some water, unless if I rub it off, then it will goes away..
3. Affordable!
4. Simple but elegant packaging and design. Black!
5. Rare color. It's definitely their competitive advantage! 


CONS:
-


DO I WANT TO REPURCHASE?
Yes!!!!! This color again!

RATE: 5/5

[ REVIEW ] Wonder Pore Freshner (10 in 1) by ETUDE HOUSE

Hey guys, it's almost the end of the month, and I need to update my blog quickly. At least by posting 2 or 3 things today, hahaha..So sorry... No matter it is holiday or school days, the laziness comes anytime.. LOL. I will try not too..

So, this post is about.......... I'm sure every beauty bloggers know, well, I'm sure they all know. It's Wonder Pore freshner!!
I am inspired to do this review quickly after watching The Beauty Breakdown on Youtube. She bought a lot of products when she went to Korea, and she did review this product too. I recommend you to check her out!


What do you thing when you hear about freshner?
Honestly, at first I thought that it is the same as toner like what I used to apply regularly. I've been using this since early March until....... Umm.. my bad, I don't have it right now for holiday. Mom gonna nag me so much for bringing too much stuff on luggage.

My pores are quite big and it literally I assume became a bit worse because back then I've never had a moisturizers before. So, note that putting so much cream like foundation everyday, might makes the pores bigger or your face is going to look a bit dull soon. Unhealthy. Just that.
I thought that by buying this freshner, I don't need a toner anymore, but I'm quite wrong.. 'cause this doesn't really work as a toner..

But first, let's check it out..





I really love the packaging's material, it's not made up paper.... I just have no idea what it is called, but it is safe. If the content spills out, it won't makes the box wet like paper..
ETUDE HOUSE provides details and functions of this product, I just can't read the Korean, so... only English..
And by the way guys, it's the 250ml, not the 500ml. I'm gonna buy the big size one if this product works well until the end.. Hahaa! Just can't wait to finish it quickly!


I'll do this review based on the check-list above. It is the remade of 7in1 Wonder Pore, which is the ancestor LOL, and I think 10in1 version came out 6 months ago? Almost end of 2014 I guess.. So, it's still new, and some online shops put its price a bit higher than the old one, and I'm surprised that some of them still have not updated their product, like wew...

Let's check inside!



The don't make it easy. Haha.. Unline ordinary box / packaging, we have to unwrap this from behind (opposite side), it is like a lock, basically. Hahaha.. Plus point for this! Unique!

So guys, usually I use Pond's toner for cleansing after shower or when I'm a bit lazy to take a shower, and the feeling of wiping your face with toner is....... like... Umm.. You know because of the alcohol. It feels somehow like a friction and hot or whatever. Excuse my language..
Before I bought this, I should be aware of what I'm buying, I don't want it to cause irritation. So I asked my friend who had tried this few years back and she said that it has a "painful" feeling... But the fact is, NOT AT ALL.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ETUDE HOUSE
_ Wonder Pore Freshner _

This is a total solution product that effectively cleans the inside and outside of pores with its special peppermint extract.
This Freshner balances pH levels, making skin pore like baby skin and preventing skin troubles caused by pH imbalance.

[Direction] (After morning and evening cleansing) Before skincare, dispense a sufficient amount of Wonder Pore Freshner onto the side of cotton pad with holes and gently wipe from inner to outer areas of face
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

250ml bottle





The bottle is decorated beautifully with the product's detail, and the picture above this sentence is clearly showing that this freshner, is supposed to cleanse the pores by picking out the dirt and bacteria inside. Not really taking it out, but reducing the size until it disappears.
So, the solution is colorless and at first I thought it has no smells..

Since the bottle doesn't really has an English explanation, it's better to keep the box until the product is gone. Who knows may be you want to give this to someone after several using? Hahaha.



Since at first I thought that it is the same like a toner, so I carefully applied it by using a cotton pad. I don't know whether the quality of the cotton pad I used is not good or what, but the solution (on the cotton pad) disappear to quickly before I can wiped all parts of my face, and the cotton pad became rough and it hurts my face a lot :'( Should buy new one.....

The alcohol in it is not too strong as it is in a toner, so now I feel secure to pour it straight away onto my hand, rather than onto a cotton pad. When you wipe you face with it, it feels... cool and refreshing! Especially after shower! I always apply it after shower before putting any cream or moisturizers.

The list here will sum up all my opinion!

(V) : True. It works
(X) : False. It doesn't work at all
(O) : Not sure. Not visible
1. Balance skin's ideal pH level (O)
2. Refine skin tone (V)
3. Keep the elasticity of pores (O)
4. Remove skin surface's dead skin cells (X)
5. Cleanse pore insides with cooling effect (V)
6. Deep cleanse pores (V)
7. Minimize appearance or pores (V)
8. Control a large amount of sebum (X)
9. Moisture inside and outside of skin (O)
10. Complete smooth glass-like texture (X)


PROS:
1. It's cheap for a multifunction solution (worth it)
2. Applying it regularly will make some changes definitely, like small pores. I think it is possible
3. Famous product. You ask every beauty bloggers (I prefer those who knows K-cosmetic or K-pop) they will know it. The Beauty BreakDown for example!
4. Available in online store and offline store. It won't disappear.
5. Additional product for improvement = the corrector and the whipping foam. I guess it really helps. 


CONS:
1. My face is still oily after applying it ( I stay in an air-conditioned room)
2. Honestly, I still need a toner or water cleanser, because basically this is not to wipe your makeup. Well.. I hope you know..
3. Note that different skin type has different effect
 

DO I WANT TO REPURCHASE?

Not sure.

[ SHARE ] MARCH 2015 Haul!!!

Thank you so much Korean Noona !!
For Indonesian (in Indonesia) again, Korean Noona is an online store from Tokopedia. Tokopedia is a kind like eBay, but only for Indonesia. If you are clever and lucky enough to find a good store, you'll find the one who sells everything! with cheaper than you ever imagine! And Korean Noona is the best one! She's living in Batam, and almost all the products are so cheap! Like, if you pay for Rp500,000 (approximately $50), you can get a lot of products from her.
And moreover, she usually sells products that are not available in Instagram. Korean Noona is so recommended!

And by the way, the post is not only from the one I bought online, but also from offline store, like Tony Moly, hahahaha!

This just arrived 3 days ago, and I'm so so so happy! This one is from Korean Noona.



Some of the products is new for me, I haven't try things like that before, and I thought that it's really worth the price. And some are just a backup, 'cause some products in my closet are running out, so got to buy it for replacement.

Let's check one by one!!

First................... Face Mask!


I have to emphasize that I only bought ETUDE HOUSE Green Tea Mask! And the one from innisfree is a free sample.. This makes me sad, I ordered quite a lot, but I only got 1 mask sheet for free, I was wanting other samples as well..
Okay, actually I just picked it up randomly 'cause I need another mask, and... I'm a bit curious with Green Tea!

And then, second one is a repairing cream from Secret Key!


I'm so new with this brand, and looking at their bottled essence or liquid, it looks almost like Missha or SK-II, but Secret Key is way cheaper than those two.
Oh yea, I gotta emphasize too that I bought this too, not free. LOL
I'm just curious because snail cream is trending from last year, so I just wanted to try a small pack for trial, to see the effect.

And then next.... SILKYGIRL Eyeliner



My friend gave me this for free, hahahaha! Freebies are wonderful! And SILKYGIRL mainly only located in Indonesia and Malaysia. They have lots of counters here, and I'm so bored of that..
For me, actually it's not really attractive at all.. I mean not this eyeliner but the powder pact and lipstick, it's just wew.... the design.. duuuhhh
Okay, I'll do a review in future, if the product is not gone yet, hahaha..
It's more like Drawing Show Brush Liner by ETUDE HOUSE, but this one is cheaper than that.


And then next........... ETUDE HOUSE Color Lips-fit!




I have always wanted to buy this!! But the online shop in Instagram which I used to buy, sells it more expensive.. So I have to think twice, should I buy or not.. So, ummm.. I only got the chance now when Korean Noona sells it cheaper!
And currently my NYX nude color is almost gone, so I pick this nude color for a backup. And I bring it here to Bali!!
Review soon!


And then next...... LOCK 'N SUMMER refill cushion


Actually this is not from Korean Noona, I bought it only somewhere else but still in Tokopedia.
I guess my BB cushion is running out, and I can't dig it up because it will makes everything dirty, and I guess it stays in one corner inside, so I try to dab more. It takes more than 3 months to finish it, but however, I don't apply it everyday, just 3 days in a week when I got class..

Coming next is..........Natural Jelly Cleansing Puff


I never have things like this before. This is used to help you cleansing your face. Instead of rubbing your face with hand, you can use the puff. Somebody says that it helps to take out more dirt and cleanse the pores. I was looking for something like this, to rub your face smoothly, so I try this! So excited!
But I can't really demonstrate it, just showing you guys how is it like may be, because I don't a camera's stand...
Soon!


Next one is.................... My Castle Hand Cream (Ice Frozen)


Told you guys in hand cream story, that last year I bought two of this and gave it to my best friend and cousin as their birthday present, and they fall in love with it! It's just sooooooo cute! No one can resists this!
Last time I bought the pink and brown, and it smells amazing!
So now I picked this up not only as a review and random purchasing, but also because my hand cream is almost gone too, so this will be the replacement..
Weeee! So excited!!


My favorite product......... Silk Scarf Hair Treatment


I really in love with this product...
If you don't know.. Silk Scarf is a line from ETUDE HOUSE that mostly takes care of your hair. Basically suitable for any type of hair, but not for so-incredibly oily hair, I'm not sure if this will works well with that type..
I bought for the first time last year around August, and I bought it from the offline store and have been using it once to twice a week, and it works really well with my hair! This is really recommended to use when you are going to be out for the whole day, 12 hours or more..
It keeps you hair smooth and easy to comb, and you don't even need the comb. Brush it lightly with your fingers is fine too!
Note: This is not a conditioner!

Next............. Herb Day Cleansing Tissue by The Face Shop



I bought this twice on last year, but not this big. At first I tried the small pack which is containing 20 sheets. Last year I didn't really have a full makeup on my face usually, so it didn't show much changes, but wiped away the foundation and cream, and since then on, I love it a lot!
Cleansing tissue is really trending nowadays, and they have in Indonesia from various brands, but I'm really interested with that... It's too cheap and I have to suspect everything like the materials.. -_- Wew.. But now I'm using the one from Pond's and it's really great and affordable.

By the way, the size of this tissue is really big!




The size of my comic or novel. Look at the comparison between it and the hand cream.. Hahahahaha


And then next..... which is the highlight of my online purchases.. Gold Racoony Hydro Gel Eye & Spot Patch by Secret Key



I picked this out of curiosity. This looks adorable and too tempting! And to emphasize again.. This is the most expensive one among all the products, but I'm satisfied with what I get!
This contains 60 pieces eye patches, means 30 pairs, and 30 pieces spot patches for dark spot or acne marks. It is made of gel, and that's why the name is like that, and the color is gold.
So again, this is my first time buying Secret Key product, but this one cost me around $15, and getting a lot of patches really worth my money!




Just a white circle container and after you open the lid, you will a spatula to dig the gel up and I haven't try to pull one, I don't want it to become dirty. Hahaha
Review will be soon after I come back!


Next product is..... I bought it from offline store.... I'm REAL Avocado Mask Sheet by Tony Moly


Told you guys previously that I just love Tony Moly Mask! So I can't help myself but pick another ingredient! Lovely! I'm saving this for after holiday! Hahaha.. And I guess I don't need to do review..


And then next....... Petit Art Perfume Mist by Tony Moly!!


I just bought this 2 days ago! And it was ON SALE!!!
It's a mist for your body and you can spray it after shower, and... I don't know.. 'cause I haven't try it LOL
But however, I bring it here to Bali, so I can do it anytime...


Last product!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm sorry if you are tired of reading... hehe... It's Vege Mask Sheet by Elianto!


Sorry the picture didn't come out well, but you can look at it from Google..
If you don't know Elianto, Elianto is my favorite brand from a long time ago, especially the nail polishes, I just... completely love it! click here for details!
Honestly, until today... I don't know which country owns this brand, but it's written that it's Made in Korea, but however, the official distributor is in Malaysia..
So...? No idea..
But they open some counters too in Indonesia. In Malaysia, you can find a lot! It's in every malls, and located side by side with ETUDE HOUSE and other Korean brands.
It was ON SALE too when I picked this up! Weeeeee!!
And I bring 1 of it to Bali? Curious?
Wait for the review later!!


That's all I have bought and loving a lot for this month. And I just can't wait to try it when I get back! Are you as excited as I am?
Thank you for reading my long post!

Have a good weekend!!
