[ REVIEW ] Milk Calcium Nail Pack FACE it by The Face Shop

When it comes to Korean skincare, there is always something weird they offer, which you can never imagine, and think, "Why do I need that". That goes to this thing too. Back then, I was surprised to find that ETUDE HOUSE and may be most of the Korean brand have a mask, but not for face.. they have it for mouth, hand, nail, and even foot!
So, may be they indirectly tell you, "Hey, buy this thing instead of going to spa or massage service! Defitinely cheaper!"
And, yeah that's true. Last time I tried their foot mask and hand mask from ETUDE HOUSE, and that was really good, but you need to ask someone for a help.. massage.


This is... Nail mask, but anyway I've tried it before and I purchased another one. This one, doesn't require any help, because you can massage your fingers by yourself, well, can you?
Okay, this mask is from The Face Shop. It has 3 different main ingredient for different function.


 I've tried Lemon and Milk, but I wasn't really aware with what the function is, so, I just simply took it without knowing what it is for..
So, this time is Milk Calcium, for strength and prevent cracking.


Definitely what we always need. When our hands and nails are always dry, then dry cuticles can lead to cracking and exfoliate. That probably the most painful thing.






I purchased this in their store. Well, The Face Shop has a lot of offline store especially in Indonesia, a lot more than ETUDE HOUSE.
Actually I don't really like using The Face Shop product, but one time, I was unconsciously picking this just because they will give me a free face mask sheet for Rp100,000. Silly. For Indonesian, still too expensive, or they were just smart enough. Most of their product in an offline store mostly are above Rp50,000 or Rp70,000, even for a little stuff like cutie, little hand cream.
Almost no one sells this online.

So, let's check it out..
The direction and everything are written with Korean.
Only a sticker there, and written with Indonesian..

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Face it 01 Milk Calcium Nail Pack
Function: Treatment concentrated on finger nails and cuticles, which contains calcium to strengthen nails.
How to use: Apply to the finger nails left and right hands that have been cleaned, massage gently for 10-15 minutes

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------






You can do this treatment, may be.... once in two weeks or once a month. It's unnecessary to do it 3 times in a week just like a face mask.
After using this product, it's better for you to use hand cream right after. Your hand will experience the great thing.. unimaginable, hahaha.. I mean, moist and smooth.
And then, it's better to use this at night, may be when you are studying or after shower. It's really great! You can save up some pennies by using this instead of going to saloon or massage center.

So, end! This review is a little bit short, 'cause I have no more to talk! But, hey! If you got an experience of trying this, let's share together!



PROS:
1. English translation please....
2. Does a good job if you take it as a monthly routine.
 
CONS:
1. Expensive




DO I WANT TO REPURCHASE? 

No more from The Face Shop, 'cause it's so expensive in the store. I heard that ETUDE HOUSE has this too, but hardly find it online.


RATE: 4/5

[ SHARE ] Hand Cream!

Hi ladies and beauty readers!
Long time no see!
Owh.. anyway.. Happy New Year too!!
I'm so sorry for not updating this blog for more than a month I think, 'cause I got final exam and then holiday, and then Christmas, New Year, and then.. I'm back again to college, LOL
Another chit-chat will be continued next post!


Let's talk about hand cream today!!
Many girls don't realize this. Even though their faces are oily, but when it comes to your hand, the majority will be that type of dry skin. It's just my theory, but I think is true, right? Because our hands do a lot of work and sometimes it gets exposed to sunlight, air-conditioner and dust more often, and we know that the skin on our hand is so thin compared to the opposite site (white/bright side)

Anyway, after I knew about ETUDE HOUSE, around 3 to 4 years ago.. I began to take care every little thing about my skin, which also including my hand. At first I found that it's quite useless, because it's almost the same like body lotion, but no~! The ingredients are different, even though now I couldn't tell it where, but I can feel the difference when I apply the body lotion or when I apply the hand cream onto my hand.

I gave my best friends, cousins, and MOM! a hand cream as a present for their birthday! And they just LOVE it!! Wanna know what kind of hand cream I gave them?
Okay,

First, let's just begin with me..
I've been using this hand cream these few months, and I put it at my closet for daily use, usually before I sleep at night.


I just love this a lot! Because it works with my nails too! My nails are not.... in a good condition may be because I always do a lot of polishing, once in two weeks or once a month, just not that healthy.
And I can feel that my nails are becoming more and more healthy every time after I use this! It is also contains almond, but actually doesn't really smell that nice. I thought it is going to be like chocolate smell, LOL but however, this one is really perfect for daily use, and they have small size too for traveling.


And then,
Second, is the hand cream in my bag, for traveling or whatever.. It is only 30ml.



I bought this before in Malaysia like on 2011 or 2012, and then I bought this, the same again last year. I just completely love it! It contains Shea Butter and I really love the smell! Just perfect to moisturize my dry hand after being exposed to sunlight or air-conditioner too often, well.. because I love to stay in a air-condition room. If you don't know what is She Butter, you can look up on the Google, but based on my little knowledge, Shea Butter is perfect to moisturize your dry skin, that's why if you aware of ETUDE HOUSE Alphabet Mask, there is one with Shea Butter. If your face is easily dry or whatever dry happens, Shea Butter is really recommended for you!


Moving next, to the one I gave to my best friend for her birthday..


Not all the four! Just ONE! It's Don't Worry I'm on Your Side, the yellow one. You know what when I saw this kind of hand cream? IT'S FLIPPING CUTE!!! Look at the rubber shoes they are wearing! I can take it off! Just like a barbie shoes!
My best friend was really happy when she got this. This line is completely adorable! You can give this for your whoever if it is still available in the store LOL. At least this thing can cheer you up with its word behind. I read it last time but I forgot, something like this I guess, "When you have nobody around you and you feel lonely, hold me tight and let me warm you with this...cream.." and... yeaaahhh.. just like that, the rest you can check it up on Google!



Next, fourth one, is from another adorable line!!



My Castle Hand Cream I think successfully wins the all the girls' heart with their captivating looking!!
Look how adorable and cute is that? It's a cube! Just like a house, you can see some reviews on Google, and I guess girls really love this line!
I bought 2 of this first, for my another best friend and cousin, the Pink Wish (pink) for my cousin and the Sweet Cookie (brown) my best friend. My best friend said it has a smell just like a chocolate cookies. And when I gave the pink one to my cousin, she just really really fall in love with this, that she never let anyone keep it but her LOL
I'm planning now to purchase the purple and the turquiose, and give it one to my other cousin and I'll keep the other one for myself. So tempting isn't it?
Good news is, review will be up in future!
Just wait.. Hahaha


So, lastly, is my present for my mother last Christmas. The Body Shop threw a quite great sale and gift set in town, and I just can't help but purchase it for my mother, because she never have use hand cream.


This is the I purchased. It has 3 different smell of hand cream in it. Well, I can't really tell you a lot how it is, but seems great, my mom really loves this. It is also suitable for hand massage LOL. But honestly, I prefer to have chocolate or milk or butter smell rather than fruity or whatever, 'cause the smell just a bit terrible. There is one in this gift set smell a bit weww... complete misery man.. But If you don't care about the smell AT ALL, then I guess it's recommended for you.


Okay, so, that's it about my hand cream story.
These days I've been taking care a lot of my hands, especially my nails. What a miserable life they face hahaha!
What I can really say is hand cream is different with body lotion. Hand cream stays for a long time after I apply it and my hands are completely moist for the time being, while usually body lotion just last for 10 minutes or whatever, and then it is being absorbed by your skin, and then your hands are dry again.. That's just how I feel..

Hand Cream ROCKS! Definitely!
