NEW YEAR, NEW PUCHASE!

Welcome back everyone to my blog!

And I absolutely hundred times would like to apologize due to me being so inactive for the past 3 - 4 months.
The things is, I am finally graduated last December, and in order to complete my studies, I have to finish one last report and have a job training in a place I wanna be in. The job training started on October last year and have to make a report based on my experience and observation every day at work. I was completely exhausted and probably did not really have time to rest other than Sunday. What I did everyday were mostly working from morning until evening, eat dinner, and sleep. That were my routine every day.
HOWEVER! I finally I feel relieved everything is over, but on the other side, I still need to continue my training, 'cause you know... It is really hard to find a real job, if you only have 3 months of training..

Starting this month, I guess I am able to be more active in doing my blog.. And you know.. If you are like me, Korean cosmetic + skincare hardcore fan, you probably know that during these few months, there were a lot of stuff coming up in the market!

You might know my favorite cleansing wipes tissue from The Face Shop from this picture. Yup, during the past 6 months, I've been trying a lot (kinda) of cleansing tissue, including those I bought from Malaysia, but NONE can beat The Face Shop cleansing tissue! I am 100% serious. I really love this a lot. Not too wet, not too dry, not too soggy, just.. Perfect! I even saw a local celebrity use it! The cotton is so soft and the amount of liquid is just so enough to wipe your whole face. Well, I tried a tissue from a brand that I don't even remember.. It completely dried up even before my make up was taken up, so I had to use another sheet, which is suck! -_- I only wiped my face once and it dried really fast.. This tissue from The Face Shop is also soooo cheap! Approximately you only pay Rp1,000 / $0.10 or less for 1 sheet..

 This is my very first time trying Innisfree products. It's not that I am not a fan.. But it's so hard to decide which one I should buy, and Innisfree is almost the same like The Body Shop concept, pure ingredients, and this ingredient is for this type of skin and so on... But I'm not buying the skincare now, but the foundation.. These two are like a baby-sized... Soooo small, especially the powder..! I don't know whether I am happy or sad.. Hahaha.. I hope the result will worth the money.. At first I wanted to buy the green one, without blur effect, just to control sebum, but it was sold out in an online shop I bought my products from, so.. Okay I just need this.. And I though the size would be at least like normal powder.. But, it's okay! (trying to be happy). While the other one, is like a type of light foundation that will increase the coverage and make the base last longer, and the size is also a baby!! >< Hahaha.. But this will be perfect for travelling! You don't have to commit bringing big glass tube while you travel..

I want to try all types of cleansing method.. I just realized that I have a lot now... -_-
I also purchased and currently using cleansing gel this month, from rice ingredient.. it's a Japanese brand and I really like it.. But I'm using the cleansing milk too, and cleansing tissue when I am just lazy at times....
Cleansing gel, cleansing cream, cleansing milk, cleansing tissues, cleansing foams (duh.. still normal), and cleansing water aka. toner... and make up water remover.. Gonna turn white soon.. LOL
'cause I find that cleansing my face only once, does not really take out everything.. There are still residues of foundation and lip products, and especially when I wear make up... I follow The Beauty Brekadown's tips ! Go follow her guys! :D I am a hardcore fan~!

Is this still considered new? I guess no... But I just want to try it... Just like the name, water... This is just colored water.. Haha.. With candy smell.. I have tried it once or twice and I really love it.. The size is just like ETUDE HOUSE's nail polishes..! REVIEW SOON!


EVERYTHING WILL BE SOON POSTED!!

[ REVIEW ] Wonder Pore Special WOW kit by ETUDE HOUSE

It's WOW kit from Wonder Pore!!
Duh.. Nothing to be surprised, since this set is actually from last year or 2 years ago, and this year they already came out with new modified kit, with the additional of emulsion and cleansing foam, as Wonder Pore also have launched their newly, recreated products, except for the Freshner.

So, I brought this kit for my trip to Malaysia, just because it's handy and all-in-one and I don't have to buy this and that, and so, save space..

We don't have to argue anymore. As the name says, this kit is all-in-one kit specialized for those who has big pores, or combination of oily and big pores, and...~ I don't think this will works well with people who have a breakout or bad acnes. This kit is only to take care, smoothed and reduce the visibility of the pores. For me, I do have big pores especially around nose area, and these weeks, I've been forcing myself to always always.... do an exfoliation twice a week to reduce the whiteheads on my nose and T-zone.
So... Begin~

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
ETUDE HOUSE * Wonder Pore Special Wow Kit
This is a 3-step trial kit consisted of Wonder Pore product that provide a total care solution for clean and firm pores

(Pore Cleansing) Wonder Pore Facial Soap
Create lather by rubbing with wet hands and gently apply lather onto face. Gently roll soap's dented side that need special pore care

(Pore Toning) Wonder Pore Freshner
(After morning and evening cleansing) Before skincare, dispense a sufficient amount of Wonder Pore Freshner onto a cotton pad and gently wipe from inner to outer of face

(Pore Correcting) Wonder Pore Corrector
At the last stage of basic skincare, dispense a small amount and absorb into area that need special care
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

The strong smell has already came out even before I open the box. The smell is more like a mint or menthol smell, more like mentos candy if you know.. Haha. But actually the smell comes from the soap. The small tiny soap can cause a strong smell, how about the full size? Dang~~
Anyway, I don't think I will go more in depth, especially about the freshner, because I already done it, click here for the review of Wonder Pore Freshner . I'm more interested about the corrector..

For the soap, it's just an ordinary soap of course, which will produce foam and lather when you rub it against your hand, or your face~! Make sure to wash your face with lukewarm water, to open (according to my theory and found-in-Google theory) the pores, so assume that the foam will clean your inside pores better. Massage your face while rubbing the lather onto the face, usually I count until 30 seconds and then wash your face again with lukewarm water and gently wipe your wet face with dry towel. Do not rub your face too hard! It's suitable for everyday cleanser, and it doesn't smell strong once it touches your face

You can pour it onto your hand and then apply to your face and massage gently, that's what I always did, and in fact, pouring onto your hand will eventually save so much product, not wasting ~
For complete review, go to the link I mentioned~

 

 

So, this is the product I was so excited to check out! And actually it's kind of unexpected that it turned to be like this! Which, I loved okay~

The corrector does the job too anyway! You hardly can't see the result once you apply it onto your face, even though what you see in the picture here. does not look transparent, but more a bit grey. The corrector is suitable for your oily T-Zone area, BUT! If you talk about durability or how long this product will last on your face, of course if won't be more than 2 or 3 hours lah.. IF! YOU ARE AWAKE! I mean when you still do stuff or planning to stay awake until dawn, then.. the heat and stress from your body will cause your face to be oily again, LOL I don't mean to disappoint you guys, but that's how it is on my skin..

HOWEVER! I just found out that, when you apply this to the oily areas and then you go to sleep, it's actually works! This morning, I woke up, and the first I did was touching my nose, and incredible! It was still smooth like a powder!

(pic of apply)

So, after basic skincare steps, I prefer to use it at night, dispense a little onto your finger, just like this amount shown in the picture above and then rub it gently on the T-Zone. It will dries up quickly, and leave your T-Zone area smooth baby's butt!! Joking.. The feeling is like when you are applying baby powder onto your body. I suggest you not to put any oily / wet like gel or light cream after applying this corrector DIRECTLY, 'cause the product will be gone... of course, makes sense...

DO NOT APPLY THE PRODUCT AFTER EXFOLIATION STEP!

'cause I know how it feels. BURN and HURT!! No kidding!! ><

Conclusion...

Shortly, what I found very useful from this kit, is of course the soap~ Freshner, not really..... Forgot to tell you guys that finally I've finished the product! Including the 250ml Freshner. It's kind of disappointing because what it did was only make my face fresh, but still ended up oily :'( but it still feels great.. I just think that I'll buy the 500ml -_- Umm... Nowadays I only buy a product that I REALLY need with a promising result, like how it claims would be.

Corrector... Well, depends on how your skin type and how do you really need it. I suggest that you should read other reviews too before buying, 'cause at first I was also so interested about the corrector and was planning to buy the full-size, but then after trying this trial kit, I feel like.. Meh~~ Not that ETUDE HOUSE is not doing their job, but well, different people have different opinion and reaction

PROS:
1. Instant and quick correction for pores -> corrector

2. Instant freshness and re-hydration -> freshner

3. Help to rinse the make up residue on my face, and it also has cooling sensation after that. It's recommended to use a cleansing tools like sponge or brush

4. Affordable (full-size products)

5. I would say there are lots of bloggers have an experience with this line, especially the freshner. So, I guess the freshner really makes it in the market, and until today. Some bloggers said good too. So depends on each person. Compliment about The Freshner

CONS:

It's an update from my post about the freshner. Well... Until I finish the product, I didn't feel anything aside from controlling sebum for a short time, and create an instant fresh.. For long term, umm.. I don't see any change in my pores since it's impossible

Note that everyone will experiences differently. It may not work for me, but it will for you

 

RATE:

Soap: 4.5/5

Freshner: 3.5/5

Corrector: 5/5
