[REVIEW] The Face Shop Clean Face Acne Solution Foam Cleansing & Oil-Free Control Essence

Hey there guys! I think I neglect this blog too much lately..sorry for that but I will blog more interesting post this coming weekend.. :)

Well, just to fill up the empty dates, I decided to post the review for this two products which I actually used up both of them for some time. This has been sitting in my draft for so long..o.o

As you might know, I don't have this super clean face because I'm acne-prone. One of the reason probably I don't really took care of my diet in terms of controlling oily food since I had this type of skin. Well, I can't really do anything about that since there are a lot of Malaysian food which are fried-based food..;(

So I bought these two items as my previous skincare(before these two) ran out. I usually switch my skincare after I finish up my current one..A lot of people will said that this is totally wrong which it can cause trouble skin but to be honest, my skin isn't like that. One person knows her skin the best right?

I can't stay with one skincare at a time because my skin is kind of creating this immune to one specific ingredients so they would not work for second time for me except the Etude House AC Clinic Daily Acne Foam Cleanser. I didn't actually review this cleanser because I'm too lazy to review a single cleansing foam..haha but I actually bought this cleanser for three times after each tube finished up. It works great controlling pimples on my face until the third tube. I can see that on the third tube, my face became invulnerable towards the foam :(

Anyway, let's head on to the review :D

I know they may be a lot of you out there would be like.."oh god..why they have Paraben..." haha..

To be honest, I was shocked too but since I don't really google up ingredients before buying anything, well of course a part of it was my fault too..

Forget about the ingredients, just focus how it performs on me. Sorry that I don't have the picture of before and after for skincare because I lack of experience to review skincare better than make-up ..hehe..

The foam is really smooth, it lathers up quickly and it doesn't leave my face feels too dry or tighten up. In terms of performance, I can see that it controls my pimples well. I don't know how to say it specifically but I liked this cleanser very much. Of course my pimples still came out like usual but at least this helps me lessen them. For deep cleansing, I don't really sure because I don't have much problems with blackhead since I used the pore brush and the grits mostly came out when I used the Biore Cleansing Oil.

I never tried any essence before this one and this is probably the first and the last one I ever tried..Because there are too many skincare steps to follow and I'm just too lazy to follow the correct one.

My first try with this essence is the essence feels very minty though the 'Menthol' ingredient is not the first listed ingredient. My face feels a bit itchy when I apply this after I cleanse my face with the Clean Face Acne Solution Cleansing Foam. It is really hurt T_T

I thought I gonna stop wearing the Essence after that but to think that I actually spent a lot for these two and the essence is not that cheap either so I decided to keep trying. I tried this for second time on the next day and it's still hurt..;( So I thought maybe I scrub my face too hard during the cleansing time so the next day I try lessening the scrubbing work and woohooo..my face doesn't feel hurt at all when I apply the essence. It feels less minty too. Not sure if it is actually became more adapted to my face or......?

During the two months I try these Essence, it doesn't do much in terms on 'clean face'.

I can see the pimples popping out the next day after I start to use the Essence and it's not that normal small pimples either, it is those bigger one that hurts real bad...haha

Though I said that, that big pimples doesn't really came out everyday...(trying to make the essence name doesn't looks too bad) XD

It doesn't even lessening the bigger pimples from the previous day so I think this doesn't work on me. Probably it will to those who don't really have a serious pimples/acne problems.

Lastly, I have love-hate relationship with these too and this is totally my own opinion. It may works great on others so get the samples first and try them put before actually judging :D

Thanks for reading XD

I think I will prepare the giveaway next!Hope you guys will love it!

Massive Haul from Missha, TheFaceShop and Etude House

I almost ran out of title..haha
Anyway, hey guys!Finally it is one of the post that I really wanted to do so much :D
Almost all of the products are skincare which is not from Etude House for sure. Sorry to disappoint all the Etude's fan readers..haha

I'm not sure why I did spent a lot on skincare this time which I never really did before but I guess maybe it's because I've been through weeks on which I don't have much time to put on make-up or simply I don't even have any intention to do so - this sentence doesn't really makes sense so I simplify it for you = it means that I'm lazy.That's all.

In those weeks, I thought my face looks dull and a lot of pimples are popping up because of the stress so when those weeks finally end, I actually bought these skincare with much thought suit to my face problem.

So here are the photos that I took last night. There are supposed to be more products that I ordered but the parcel hasn't arrive yet ;(

Sorry for all these lousy photos. I delayed taking these up until last night..I'm sure will regret this later but it is better than nothing right?

There are few things that are not in the photos too like TheFaceShop Clean Face Cleansing Foam and Essence, Herbalife Shake Drink (RM84.50) and Multivitamin(RM37.90). I already used up TheFaceShop Clean Face Essence and the review for both cleansing foam and essence will be coming up.Sorry that I forgot how much of these two products

If you ask, Herbalife? Yeah, I start taking them since 2 weeks ago but irregularly. I initially just wanted to test it up on how it would affect my daily life as well as my weight but since I'm not serious, so I don't see any major changes yet..haha..Maybe I will try again.

Okay, maybe some reviews of these shops ;
#Roseroseshop.com - I knew this seller from ebay called Rubyrusbyshop(please don't say I'm wrong XD)
and started trying them out by only bought a cleanser + emulsion at first because they always had the whole year filled with sales. Their price is quite cheap but I don't like how the shipping fee increased based on the quantities. Plus, they did not gave out samples too..*sigh*

#Hotdeals In Korea - I know the facebook page from Popup Wired which she always promote her giveaway in the International Beauty Bloggers group. So last time she hold an event which I saw the Missha Treatment Essence being so cheap and I can't resist myself to buy..lol. They had an online shop too called Kbeautique.com which I think their price is equal to TwoFaceMall a.k.a expensive!..

#Qoo10.com.my - Always been my favorite place to shop all the time!So many sellers yet so many Korean Cosmetics with cheap price!The new collections from any brand can be seen 2 weeks after the released in Korea..like who don't love it? But the only thing that I don't like is when I wanted to choose registered mail, the parcels can't be combine to only one big parcel like Gmarket. So the shipping fee had to be paid separately according to each seller. Not really a big deal for me coz I used free shipping anyway.Just to a certain products I choose registered mail for safer arrival.

Though in the picture it might not like much but roughly this cost me about RM708 @ 216USD and that doesn't include the shipping fee and the rest of the products. I admit that I don't plan to buy all these products at first and I did lose my concious a bit when adding these to cart..hehe (and psst..do you smell a giveaway coming for almost 500 followers in my blog?! XD)

Lastly,Thank for reading! I think that's all to share?hehe :D
If you have any questions, let me know in the comment down below :D

 tadaaa~~excited to see the details~?

 I finally bought the Wonder Pore Freshner in smaller size(250ml).Full size(500ml) is too expensive but I just want try this first and I'll buy the full size if this satisfies me~

and for the Etude House AC Clinic Cleanser,I bought this last month but the parcel was missing and idk where it went since I had no tracking number for that but the seller did refund me..hehe..I re-buy this cleanser with another seller last week and it safely arrive with 3 nice samples(the samples are not in picture,already forgot about that..haha)

Look how petite it was!I was so confuse on how to use this =.=

I guess I better ask Etude House..

and the last one is the eyeshadow palette from Majolica Majorca Fall 2012 Limited Edition Collection! *fuh,twisted tongue*

I wanted to have more colors for my eyeshadows and I went to Guardian store to look for Majolica Majorca palette but the colors I wanted to have are sold out!I don't know why they didn't restock it and almost all Guardian store I drop by,the same palette color is sold out *pissed off*

So I go to ebay to find the palette and coincidentally I found this new limited edition palette.I didn't saw anyone post about this yet but I can't wait for others review since the colors is so nice and I fell in love.The palette itself is very expensive but I can't think no more and bought this palette.Total price of this palette include shipping is about RM63+ O.O

I think that's all and I don't know how much I've spent for all of this..

There gonna be an exciting news for the next post!Guess what?hehe :DD

But after a few days,the gift arrived to my house and I called her asking why she send the gift to my home and she says,"unni,that gift is for you..happy belated birthday~"

and I was like *OMG* *tears*

"Really?"I said back to her and she said yes.

Furthermore,she said that she wasn't a cosmetic lover and her mom prevent her from using any because she is too young.So she said she better give this to me becoz she haven't give anything for my birthday yet(my birthday in May) and she can't keep this either since cosmetic only last for 3 years *touched*

After that I ask her again about how did she find out that I love cosmetics so much?And she said that she saw a lot of my collection of cosmetics at my home..hahaxD

[REVIEW]OXY Acne Wash n OXY Powder Lotion

Hello there guys.. =D

As you may know(maybe?) I got an acne-prone skin/oily skin since a year ago..hmm..maybe because of the hormone change?coz I used not to have any acne nor oily face before..sad..T_T now it change and need a quality care~

So recently I bought this skin care which Oxy(a brand specific for problematic skin by Rohto Metholatum)

I thought the price was cheap and it might works for me so I bought the cleanser and powder lotion which I choose the acne wash and powder lotion which suits my skin condition,

Now,it's been almost the third I used this especially the powder lotion to control the oil on my face.

Truthfully it works~!!I only used the powder lotion frequently n only 2 times for the acne wash since i had another cleanser at the time.

The powder lotion really control my oil and didn't dry my face at all..superb..you can feel the toing-toing feel after applying the powder lotion..loves it~teheee..

My mom also said that my acne is reducing *thumbs up* although she didn't know what exactly I wore after my acne medicine is finish up a week before...

This is the cleanser texture was..this type of cleanser doesn't dry your face like other creamy texture cleanser.

and this is the powder lotion looks like after mix together.Originally,the powder and water inside the bottle will separate and you have to shake the bottle to let them mix.Th purpose of the powder is for oil control and the water is for moisturizing.Although I'm not sure that it was it,but I think that was the purpose.

I used to like the powder lotion because of faster absorption and the moisturizing characteristic that last longer.

For the ingredients,the cleanser have the Perfume 9271(Fragrance).Although this ingredients is not very suits the sensitive skin but I think it doesn't effect much on me.

While there is no ingredients of perfume in the powder lotion.

The smell is okay..not stinky nor to fragrance..

P/S : we call it toner in Malaysia where Japanese called it lotion,so that's why the name is powder lotion.

If you have tried the other skincare on OXY,you can share it here~

[REVIEW]Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Face Wash and Hada Labo SHA Moisturizing Cleansing Oil.

Hey guys!I'm so sorry for the late post! >_< I'm currently having an exams now so I can't spare my time too much for blogging plus I'm going to move to new rented house..It's been a havoc to pack up all my items..

(It was a lot!Believe me T_T)

So tonight..ahh...not really 'night' here since it is 4.29am in the morning already..this is becoz of my friend..she ask me to watch some stupid videos on youtube and we laugh really hard in the middle of night till morning..yeah..I know it is a very long time but I do spare a little bit of my time for online Korean classes..hehe..^_^

Anyway,move on to the reviews..Sorry if this picture is a bit bad from my previous post since I took this in a hurry..and I missed a single photo for the cleansing oil and how my skin become after that..I might added that photo later..sorry for that peeps..

As for today, I'm going to review these two products from Hada Labo..the face wash is not from the new product lists but the cleansing oil is the latest product from Hada Labo.I've been looking for a cleansing oil just becoz I think this may be needed if I wanted to wear kinda thick make-up for special occasion..but then cleansing oil tends to be expensive like 0.0 but then,I visit Hada Labo MY fb and I saw this product!Wohoo..just perfect in time coz they also have a SALE for this new item along with other cleansing wash..and finally I got this from Guardian MY!

but sorryyyyy!!I didn't remember the exact price but I think the face wash is about RM20+ and the cleansing oil was about RM40+..That was cheaper than Shu Uemura!Oh yeah!So I decided to give it a try!

The closed up picture..

 The large tube hole!!!OMG..I like it.!

 The texture but it is not like what you're thinking!It is not creamier at all and instead it is forming a large amount of foam when you rub the cleansing wash!!

I mix this with water and rubbed it onto my hands..It supposed to form a superbly bubble there but then it must be because my hands is so dry so the bubble didn't show up and the water is not enough too..I may take again the picture later..
[UPDATE]Here is the single picture I promised..Sorry for different background..

 Ahhh..this is the cleansing oil..Sorry for no single shot coz I forgot..mian...but then here I wanna show you that the bottle has this clip which it prevent you to pump when you didn't want to so I think this clip is good for travel or storage if you just want to throw the bottle or anything then it wouldn't be pumped by itself becoz of the clip..

 Here is the cleansing oil..it is transparent in color although you saw it is like yellow-orangey color in the bottle..the texture was easily glide..^_^

Normally people will think..ahh..this must be another cleansing 'oil' which people will imagine the texture is oily-type but then you're wrong with this cleansing oil when I think it was NOT OILY at all!It feels just like a  cleansing wash!and look at the picture..It forms a subtle foam then when mix with water and that's means it emulsify very well!Cleansing oil normally will leave the greasy feel and makes you to double cleanse it with a cleanser but then this works on its own...You don't have to double cleanse since this do both very well..It will forms a great amounts of tiny little foams..hehe..which I like it very much!

But one thing that I dislike with this cleansing oil is it didn't remove waterproof mascara..yeah..it is not..so I'm very disappointed with that..but then its ok..I still got my make-up remover...
