[ REVIEW ] I'm REAL Broccoli Mask Sheet Vitality by TONY MOLY

Hey guys! Long time no see...
I've been so busy lately with my final exam which just ended 2 days ago, and now I have two weeks of holiday, and now I'm in Bali!!
Holiday for student is incredibly precious, am I right? Haha.. LOL

Anyway, this post will be a bit short, as the title says, it's a mask.....
So, there would be only my first impression, comments, and recommendation.
I save a lot of pictures for my blog, so, well... to be honest, this mask pictures was taken around 2 weeks ago.. But my mind is still fresh, and this mask is one of my favorite now!

So, let's get started!



It's about this mask from Tony Moly, which now is my favorite! I bought this in Malaysia on November last year, and was applying my other old mask regularly, so that I can try this one quickly.
The packaging is adorable.. The big picture of broccoli is really captivating, and it's the main point for me.. even though it looks a bit boring though.. Hahaha..



The explanation and everything are neat, not too small and still visible.



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tony Moly
I'm REAL Broccoli Mask Sheet
o Vitality o

Broccoli mask provides vitalizing energy to tired skin

(Direction) Tear open and apply to face. Leave on for 20 - 30 minutes and then remove

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

The explanation in English is very short, like.. Wew.. Are you sure?


It fitted my face perfectly! And the cotton is also very smooth, like the mask from BEYOND. But however, the mask from BEYOND was kinda big, especially the area for the eyes. I think this mask is so perfect for girls who have smaller face..

*** For Indonesian (in Indonesia), I can assure you that buying in an offline store is quite cheap. I seriously agree with that, 'cause I've bought a couple of products from there these days. It's cheaper than ETUDE HOUSE. Seriously guys! And sometimes, they are throwing a discount! And it's really a good deal. Some of the masks are never be available by online. Even if some do, the price gap between offline and online is not really big, so it can better to buy in the store.
If you want to buy something from Tony Moly but still can't find it by online, well, just go to the store. At least, the price is still reasonable and makes sense



PROS:
1. Thin and smooth cotton
2. Fits onto small face perfectly!
3. It's quite cheap in an offline store. Even cheaper than ETUDE HOUSE and The Face Shop.
4. They have many different kind of ingredients for your face needs

CONS:
-

DO I WANT TO REPURCHASE?
Yes!!


RATE: 5/5

Have you ever heard about this brand? If you haven't, you have to check it out after this!

This is the front page of their official website!


Everything is about ECO Cosmetics, 'cause indeed BEYOND is an ECO friendly cosmetics and skin care.

They highlight their website is..



1. Against animal test
2. Minimum chemical fragrance
3. Minimum chemical colorants
4. No paraben added

Moreover, the current ambassador is Kim Soo Hyun~!!

The stores are so few, even in my town, there is only 1 store, and luckily located in shopping mall downtown, so quite close from where I stay...

What I'm going to review here is their face mask!


It's from this line...

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZkCkYmCpTgn5wqs71FpAiMJP927KwItGRak-4P8uq2ig7tB5OAKB4KJFVPGf5m-C9-FCFfvjhQX6J0McxGJdCgCQKne4ftpRDPtlCq7FoAFTR9ATniypqOFsKjAdHDY2Dbmkq9xkfNKI8/s1600/PicsArt_1409759718114.jpg 

I'm using someone's picture, you can check out on her blog mentioned on this picture. Guess she bought all the variants. I only bought 1 piece, hehehe.

Anyway, it looks like it is my habit. When I want to try other brand, I always begin with their mask sheet. You know right? Some brands have various type of base ingredients for their mask sheet. Such as when ETUDE HOUSE has this, The Face Shop has this, and BEYOND has this this this and this only... However, when I purchased 1 mask from BEYOND, it's really really worth my money..


In order to beautifully in the people happy, in the law of nature, the earth we live in plays an intimate relationship between humans always. Beyond is committed for sustainable beauty in consideration to environment thanks to the resonant nature of these, is left in the offspring
_BEYOND_




1. Dermatology tested
2. No chemical preservatives
3. No chemical colorants
4. Against animal test
5. Eco beauty lab.
6. Sustainable energy



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just BEYOND Nature Garden Natto Nourishing Mask

100% pure cotton mask is formulated with natto's rich nourishing ingredients made of protein and fermented soybean full of fatty acid. Penetrates deep into the skin and makes your skin look younger and full of vitality

(Directions) Apply mask sheet to cleansed face and leave on for 10-15 minutes. Remove mask and massage remaining solution into skin with hands
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The idea of being an ECO beauty product is really good. I'm not saying that all the product especially non-Korean brands use a lot of chemical, I'm sure they all do, but still manage to balance it, not too many I mean. As I always say that paraben is seriously not good for long-term use, this brand is 100% free of paraben, it's just that, so unfortunate that not every country has this... Not every online shop and almost NONE sells this product, when in fact it will be really good, isn't it?

If somebody gives me money and I'm asked to choose between BEYOND and ETUDE HOUSE, I'll choose BEYOND definitely.. Well, not because I'm not loyal.. But, if you can buy similar-function product, with same price, but one of them has this excellent point (ECO friendly), I'll take it.

About the experience....

The importer and distributor is in the same town as where I'm staying now. Thanks a lot to them!


The cotton itself is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo SOFT! Ridiculously softer than other mask I ever tried, so, it really calms my face.. and it's really comfortable. But, as you can see, the solutions are a lot!! A lot! 10 - 15 minutes are not enough to make the face mask dry, I usually stays for 30 minutes.
Even the remaining solutions on the sachet, I can apply it on my hand ^.^ haha

It worked well with my face!


PROS:
1. Fresh and nice smell

2. ECO friendly product! Thumbs up! We need other brand to do this too for their certain product, or make it limited edition! (not everything)
3. Cheap for counter price.
4. No paraben or chemical preservatives!
5. SOFT cotton!! Softer than other face mask I ever tried, and it is so thin


CONS:
1. Hard to find. The store is so rare!

2. Personal opinion: The cotton is so thin that we may accidentally torn it with sharp nails, 'cause I did -_- And it takes a long time to dry up, obviously not 10 - 15 minutes
3. I don't know whether it is because the mask is too wet or the solution's amount is too much, or because it is the ingredient, after 30 minutes when it dried up, my face ended so sticky!



DO I WANT TO REPURCHASE?
Yes!!

[ SHARE ] My Mom's Birthday on 22nd February and What We Purchased for Her Birthday!!!

Hey girls! Long time no post I guess.. Hahaha
It's already March! So fast..
And I forgot to post things here, so I ended having so many 'waiting list', I mean a bunch of pictures for this blog. Should do it more often.. hmm...

So, today, I'm gonna talk about my Mom's birthday last month on 22nd. Well, like what I used to do, going back hometown, and her birthday was a few days after Chinese New Year, so I got a lot of holiday.. Not really holiday, just because I didn't have class for certain days, so I was completely glad, and even though my unofficial holiday was less than a week, but I decided to went home just for my Mom, hahaha..
After all.. Mothers are the most lovable human being on earth. Love your Mom!

Okay, I successfully convinced my Mom to buy some ETUDE HOUSE products, especially foundation, because hers is almost gone, so I tried to show her a tutorial or demonstration about the foundation from ETUDE HOUSE.. I'll talk about it later...

Keep reading! Hahaha




Actually I bought this separately, but still from the same online shop.

1. I personally bought Aloe Moistfull Soothing Lotion (with my own money), because lately I've been using the Soothing Cream as a night cream and it really works well with my skin, and also it has a nice smell.. Instead of buying the same product, I decided to pick this up, I guess.. No difference... I suggest her to apply it after shower, if possible at night too...

2. This is the foundation I was talking, Skin-Fit Foundation. Actually this one and the sample kit in box was purchased by my Mom's money, LOL.. I'm sorry for having to emphasize that. So yeah..

3. Like 20 line products.. Have you ever of it? If you haven't, may be it is because the line is quite old, 'cause I hardly find it anywhere. I don't know much about it, but I guess it will be useful for my Mom, even though she is nearly 50 now, but whatever... As long as it is possible to moisturize or take care of her skin, why not?

And the rest is just a sample of the well-known BB cream and skin volumer.

Let's check one by one!

For the foundation, why I picked this up, is because....
First, my Mom is still not aware of ETUDE HOUSE product. She just knows that I use.. She has my lip balm, she saw my BB cream, BB cushion, lipstick, eyeliner, face mask, and others. And then....
Second, is quite cheap..
Third, her foundation is running out so she needs foundation quickly..
Fourth, she doesn't like my BB cushion.... LOL. Last time I tried to apply it on her face, but it didn't go well with her skin.. So, hands up! -_-





I chose the lighter shade, I guess it's no.1 light beige..
Honestly, at first my Mom told me not to buy it if the natural shade is not available.. But.... rebel... I keep insisting to take the the light shade and I don't care.. I just simply told her, "Take it as a trial, c'mon"

And she agreed.....

I like it a lot. The container is so pretty and cute, and it comes with a pump, just like other foundation I assume it should be.. LOL, with SPF 30, suitable for sunblock.. If you forgot to put another cream on top, with this only is just fine...


And then about the Aloe Moistfull Soothing Lotion... It was also very cheap in an online shop I bumped into, and I ordered it in advance, so that it would arrive before Chinese New Year holiday..

Comparison with the foundation's container.....


I'm sure everyone knows this, and I'm just wondering if anybody out there, uses all the products from Aloe line?!! If there is... You are just completely amazing... I'm sure your skin is so lively and healthy!!
Basically all the creams, gel and lotion have the same function, but for the best treatment, you at least should have 3 to 4 products from this line..

Forgot to tell you guys, my Mom has an allergy of seafood, chicken and other stuff too, and the effects would show up on her face, just like pimples on her cheek.. So, I can't simply buy stuff which only makes her allergy worse, like makeup or whatever.. my Mom is not a makeup junkie too, so thank goodness for that....
Moreover, my Mom has a very large pores, mostly on cheek area, because she never take care of her skin when she was young, and all her siblings have similar big pores too. I'm sure luxury or basic face treatment didn't really exist back then, like 30 years ago. So, my Mom told me that I am lucky to be born on this generation..
That's why I bought this Aloe Soothing Lotion..




The bottle is made of... glass? I don't know how to call it, but the glass that doesn't easily break when you dropped it.. I don't know.. It's really thick glass.

Honestly, I bought this because I, myself can't wait to try this out and putting it on my blog.. Hahaha. But I need to go back first.. LOL


And then, lastly... Like 20 Early Anti Aging Care




My Mom is not... young anymore, hahaha.. Next year she would be 50, and that makes me sad, really. But I just want to recommend this to her, at least.. "Mom, do this, so your skin would be healthy!"
Usually, when woman gets older, wrinkles started to show up, especially around eyes, that's why I think it's better to keep your eyes healthy with a cream or other treatment...

Like 20 Early Anti Aging Care ==== Ceramide and Murumuru Oil...

You can find about Murumuru by click here .

Not every online shop has this, and it is sad.. Nowadays, the girls are gonna be aging, especially those who are almost 30, I'm sure they need this type of product, and ETUDE HOUSE should produce or re-create this product.

Booster Essence

Eye Concentrate

Finishing Cream

All-Day Cream Pact

This product basically is for anti aging and anti wrinkle. Suitable for your Mom, aunts, or older sister.. I just... have no idea of how to use the cream pact, isn't like the BB cushion in real one? But how to use the sample like this one?

So, guys... This is what my Mom and I bought for her birthday.. And the next post will be the review! Not all...

Just... see... Hahahaha

Thank you! Have a nice day!
And...

[ REVIEW ] Dust CUT Skin Guard Kit (3EA) by ETUDE HOUSE

Hey guys!
I'm honestly excited to post about this product today, and the level of my excitement is the same when I was trying this product!
One sentence to begin with... I simply fall in love with this product!

It's Dust Cut skin care!!


If you read my concern about my skin irritation, at first I thought that it was because I didn't have enough "barrier" on my skin, while every day I used to walk everywhere, especially for class.. and even though my college is just 5 minutes by walking from my house, but, the small road used to be busy on week days and many vehicles pass by, motorcycle, car, van, and even bus sometimes.. And sometimes too, I've to walk somewhere else for getting lunch or something else!

Let's take a look first...





The box was not in a good condition anymore, and I don't know why. Oh! And I decided to buy the trial kit at first was because, I still didn't know whether the formula or ingredients would go well with my skin (allergy), and then, if the smell of this product is too strong, I thought I won't buy anymore..
So, to prevent waste, I tried to purchase the trial kit, even though IT WAS INDEED A WASTE too.
It was quite expensive for just a trial kit..
May be the online shop I bumped into, is the only one who got this product.. So yeah, I tried to understand LOL.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ETUDE HOUSE Dust Cut Skin Guard Kit (3EA)

This is a kit consisted of 3 Dust Cut items that protect skin from harmful environment by forming a protective outer barrier and provide care by clarifying dull and exhausted skin

--------------------------------------------------(Contains)-----------------------------------------

ETUDE HOUSE Dust Cut Facial Mist ---------- 20 ml
Directions: Spray Frequently whenever you feel threat of harmful environment. The tight feeling during absorption indicates that protective outer barrier has been formed

ETUDE HOUSE Dust Cut Finish Cream --------- 10 g
Directions: During last step of skin care, dispense certain amount and spread evenly onto skin

ETUDE HOUSE Dust Cut Micro Foam Cleanser -------- 30 ml
Directions: Dispense certain amount and create lather, gently massaging onto skin and rinse off thoroughly with water

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


I don't know whether other brand also has this kind of product or not, but from ETUDE HOUSE, this line is the only one that focuses on protecting your face from fine dust.

Note:
Environmental dust nowadays is way way smaller than before, because of the bad pollution in the air


Actually this is more suitable for traveling isn't it? For sure you will be out for the whole day and doing most of the things outdoor. This is my recommendation.

For you information, I've been trying this product a few days before, exactly few days after I took these photos. So, my recommendation is really really gonna help you.

Check more for the product!

First... Micro Foam Cleanser!




This is the cleansing foam, and I honestly really recommend this for girls or guys that mostly are doing outdoor activities for half day may be.. 8 hours? 12 hours?
I've been trying to wash my face with this (with make up on my face and of course the finish cream), and then usually after washing my face, I will do another cleaning with toner, surprisingly..... I found almost no residue on the cotton...
Usually it was like brownish or greenish something...



It smells great, not too strong and I think it is more concentrated than my usual cleansing foam!
Well, I did not try to demonstrate it, 'cause it will be too troublesome, my phone will be wet or whatever..

Second..... Facial Mist!





It's incredibly small but cute! Am I complaining? Sounds may be.. Hahahaha
It's really really small and adorable, but I have no idea what the three small circles tell you, so, please help me to find it out! Thank you~

I tried to spray this on my face, but I didn't feel the tightening at all or make my face stiffs for a while, and I think almost no smell detected by my nose, but I think this thing does a great job too for forming the outer barrier. Recommended!
And yeah, the container, I think is made up strong plastic? Well, at first I thought it is aluminium..

Last.......... Finish Cream!




This is too...... too............ small.......

I love the smell though, it's not too strong. I'm sure almost all the girls really like skincare with scent, but not too strong, otherwise our face would more smelly than our body.
The texture is just like other cream, I think the moistfull cream that I posted the other day, I guess it's almost the same...

Apply the cream before putting on foundation or make up!!!

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

So, guys, I came to this experiment, because I was 'inspired' by f(x) Sulli's video for Get it Beauty Self . You can understand further about how to use this 3 products above, plus the face mask..
This experiment is really really interesting..~!!

Take out your make up weapons! Mainly, take some that has waterproof function.. Such as eyeliner (gel or tint), eye brow pencil, and whatever...


1. Without Dust Cut Finish Cream

2. With Dust Cut Finish Cream

Note: Apply the cream first on your bare hand (no lotion or anything, just the cream). Wait for it until that part becomes a bit dry as it absorbs onto your skin, and then draw a line with your eye liner.

After that, rinse off with water.. Luke warm water is fine too..


I swear guys, I didn't rub it hard to pill it off (no. 2)!! Just a light touch and it's gone!

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

Find out more on the video, by clicking Sulli's demonstration above!!

One sentence for this...
INSANELY AMAZING!! I've never have such a thing like this before!! Buy it now!!


PROS:
1. Nice smell! Not too strong or less

2. I know the full-size is quite expensive, as it has 3 products. But for protecting your face better from fine dust, this thing does a great job! You won't regret!
3. Successfully form that "barrier" on my face
4. This product line comes in different things, not only one, I mean, cleansing foam, facial mist, cream.. and mask sheet


CONS:
1. No SPF. So you gotta apply another foundation with SPF or BB cream after that



DO I WANT TO REPURCHASE?
Yes!! I'll buy the full-size product!!


RATE: 5/5
