[REVIEW] Etude House Collagen Moistfull Peeling Wash

name : Etude House Collagen Moistfull Peeling Wash

I got this as a tester, so I don't think I can explain much about this product. This product is just like another peeling product - its function is to eliminate death cell on our skin. I usually use THE FACESHOP Jelly Apple Peeling for normal skin, once per week.

Directions from Etude House:

1. Cleanse and towel-dry skin
2. Gently massage into skin using circular movements for 1-2 minutes
3. Rinse well with warm water. Follow with Moistfull Collagen skincare. Use 1-2 times a week

Tips : when gently massage your face with peeling, please use middle and ring fingers. Because if you use index finger, without knowing the pressure is too much and it's not good for your face. Just do it gently :D

The first time I put Etude House Collagen Moistfull Peeling Wash on the back of my hand, I could feel the difference right away from THE FACESHOP Jelly Apple Peeling. The texture is more moist and soft. The smell is nice too, not as strong as THE FACESHOP Jelly Apple Peeling (Jelly Apple Peeling has this strong smell of apple while Collagen Moistfull Peeling Wash has milder scent).

I don't know if it's me or what, but when I applied Etude House Collagen Moistfull Peeling Wash, it felt like it eliminates my death skin easier than THE FACESHOP Jelly Apple Peeling (when used in same amount of course). When I just rubbed my cheeks (with my middle and ring fingers) like twice or thrice, there was a rough feeling like scrub, which meant the death skin was already eliminated. 

The claim goes "the moisturizing peeling gel formulated with natural konjac makes skin feel moist and soft". My skin did feel moist and soft, which makes the claim is right. However, this goes the same with THE FACESHOP Jelly Apple Peeling too. The results are the same so I can't really differentiate which one is better.

**BEFORE & AFTER**

The pictures don't show the difference real good and it can come out that my forehead in the 'after' is redder too. So I'll explain the condition of my face in 'before' and 'after' situation.

In 'before', my face looked dull and reddish, especially in forehead zone.

In 'after', my face looked brighter and the reddish lessened much than the 'before'

**CONCLUSION**

Will I buy Etude House Collagen Moistfull Peeling Wash?

When my THE FACESHOP Jelly Apple Peeling has expired, I will buy this. In the description, it claims to be free from parabens, benzophenone, mineral oil, and talc, while I see 'something' paraben and there are many in THE FACESHOP Jelly Apple Peeling lol. So without much time to think, I'll prefer to buy Etude House Collagen Moistfull Peeling Wash than THE FACESHOP Jelly Apple Peeling.

Recommended or not?

Recommended. I think it fits for people who worried that after peeling, their face will feel dry and tight, because honestly, I felt my skin moist and soft after peeling with Etude House Collagen Moistfull Peeling Wash. If you still feel it's not moist enough, you can apply cream though hehehe.

Souvenirs from South Korea :D

My uncle and his wife has just come back from South Korea and brought me things those I surely like <333 heheh. Every time they go overseas, they brought something back. Honestly I never put my expectation high, but the souvenirs those they bring back forever amaze me :D

First of all, there's orange white chocolate from Jeju Island. Jeju is known with its orange, tbh. The orange is sliced thinly and then dried, and finally covered with white chocolate. It tastes sweet-sour - sour because of the orange and sweet because of the white chocolate on top of the orange. My uncle and his wife bought me a big box with another two box inside. I'm not sure how many chocolates one small pack has...I didn't count it and took some right away, my mom seems to take some out of the box too...

And then they bought me three packs of red bean bread and Crunch Punch. The package of the red bean bread is cute- like seriously :") I should have collected them...but I threw them away T^T

Since they joined a tour, seemed like they visited Myeongdong or Dongdaemun, because they bought me these mask sheets! I'm really surprised when I saw these...I was like "how did you know me so well?" :") Six from TONYMOLY and six from Esfolio. I don't know what is Esfolio...but I'll search for it some other time.

They bought three for each type of mask sheet - seems like they want me to share them with my mom & dad...but sorry not sorry, they're marked as mine as soon as I touched them :")

Three pairs of eating utensils from South Korea! I've been wanting the metal chopsticks like from ages ago. I like the grip and the end of the metal chopsticks meet, not separated like wooden ones. I handed them right away to my mom...I think we won't use them that much as my mom doesn't cook Korean food (we usually eat in restaurant lol) and eating ramyun is a big no for me (because the instant ramyun is too spicy for my tongue - but I eat jjajangmyun B") ).

The last one is a pair of homey socks haha. I can't wear them around with shoes since they're too thick. However! They're warm so of course, I can sleep with them warming my feet :D heheh. They're cute right? /.\

[REVIEW | UPDATED] Innisfree - No-Sebum Mineral Pact

name : Innisfree's No Sebum Mineral Pact

expired : 24 months after opening

So today, my package has just arrived, yey \o/ I ordered Innisfree's No Sebum Mineral Pact from sitizhong18. Not only got my order, I got tester too :D I don't know about the tester's function and haven't used it yet, so I'll put the review for the tester some other time.

Since I got the package by myself (actually taken by my servant but at least it's not opened by her hehe), so I took pictures of opening the package.

The package fortunately arrived to me safely, thanks to bubble wrap and JNE didn't throw it.

Innisfree's No Sebum Mineral Pact and tester of Innisfree's Eco Science Dual Kit.

Packaging detail for Innisfree's No Sebum Mineral Pact.

The package comes small and handy, suitable for travelling.

Comes together with puff.

There's barrier between puff and the contain - hygienic.

Why Innisfree's No Sebum Mineral Pact? I wanted a product that could reduce my sebum. There are many ways to reduce it, including using blotting paper or no-sebum powder. I personally thought using blotting paper is a bit complicated (I honestly have a bad and wrong habit of using blotting paper - I rub it against my face, not patting it). Then I googled things about sebum control and found out that oil control powder exists!

I had to choose between Etude House Dear Girls Oil Control Pact, The Face Shop Lovely ME:EX Angel Skin Powder, and Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Pact.

 

The Face Shop Lovely ME:EX Angel Skin Powder isn't translucent, so the product is out from my list (I need translucent one so it won't make my makeup clots). I only have Etude House Dear Girls Oil Control Pact and Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Pact as choices, so I decided to ask the admin - she said Innisfree's is better than Etude House'.

How does it work? It can be used after any skincare. It can be used often (with or without makeup) everyday, when your face starts to get oily or too shiny to your own like. Just pat it gently against your face and your shining face will turn right away into matte one. Since it's translucent, you can just right away put it on top of your makeup.

**REVIEWS**

How is the performance? It has zero coverage as it's translucent. It can last long as you only need small amount of the product to reduce the sebum. The powder right away erases my sebum, turning my shiny face into matte one. I like it honestly, however the finish is too matte for my own likeness. It's just like I'm putting on powder instead of BB Cream (I'm using Etude House BB Cream Cotton Fit) and I don't like it. However, honestly I think all oil control powder will have the same finish with this one (I'm not sure too as this is my first time using this kind of product). It perfectly reduces the shine on my face, it doesn't make my face looks so matte (which is not my style). After using this product when I've shine on my face, it looks perfectly like I've just reapplied my BB Cream :D

**CONCLUSION**

Will I buy Innisfree's No Sebum Mineral Pact again?

I haven't use this for travelling and I'm planing to bring it to meet my friends some other time or going to Singapore on January, so I'm not sure yet. However, from the performance, I guess I need to buy this again as my face is the combination type. My face gets oily on T-zone, whether the weather is cool or hot.

Recommended or not?

Absolutely yes for those who don't like their face to be shiny because of sebum. It's hygienic, handy, needed in tiny amount only, and expired after a long time (24 months). The matte finishes honestly won't bother much to other people as it's only my preference. However it's not recommended for those who seek for coverage, as this product is translucent.

UPDATED 29 DECEMBER 2014

So finally I can get picture of my shininess (?) perfectly. I didn't posted a picture of myself using this product before since the before and after weren't any different...but now you can see what's happened to my T-zone right? :D

I've brought this product with me today. I really like this product honestly, because I only needed small amount to cover my shiny face :D

I BOUGHT THIS PRODUCT WITH MY OWN MONEY - NOT FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSE
