MIZON A.C Care Solution Acence Anti Blemish Foam Cleanser Review

 
I recently tried a new facial cleanser from Mizon, a brand Ive never tried before. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the product and the effect it had on my skin.
 
 
Personally, I dont usually get blemishes/acne so I never really kept an anti blemish cleanser on hand but I am so glad I decided to try one, because on the occasions that I do have blemishes they tend to be hard to get rid of.
 
What I love most about this cleanser is that you dont have to use alot, a little goes a long way so one bottle will last you for a while.
 
The cleanser has made my skin feel much cleaner when I have blemishes and minimized the appearance of my acne in just 2 days. After about 3-4 days my acne was gone and my skin felt clean and healthy.
 
What I also like is that it keeps my acne/blemishes away longer and has overall improved the condition and appearance of my skin.
 
 
I would give this product 5 out of 5 stars and highly reccomend it!

Etude House Collagen Moistfull Peeling Wash

 
I recieved a sample of the Collagen Moistfull Peeling Wash by Etude House a few weeks ago, but am just getting a chance to try it out.
 
Sample Size
 
 
I have always been one to love Etude House products and have always been impressed with the quality. This time it is no different.
 
The thing I liked most about this product is the small beads in it that help to breakdown dead skin cells and remove them. It also made my skin look and feel much softer, firmer, and most importantly, cleaner!
 
I have read in other reviews and comments about this product that it only leaves your skin feeling softer for a short amount of time.
 
However, in my two times using the product, it has left my skin feeling smooth for quite a while. I have found that using the Etude House Moistfull Toner after cleansing your face with the peeling wash, makes it softer for even longer and helps lock in the effects of the peeling wash.
 
 
Overall, I am happy with the quality of this product and what it does for my skin, I will deffinately be buying the full size product in the near future.

Etude House, Holika Holika and TonyMoly Product Review

 
Im finally back with another makeup and skin care product review! I was able to order some new products and try them out over the past few days so I hope you enjoy this review and find it helpful.
 
 
Etude House Moistfull Toner
 
 Ive always had good experiences with Etude House products, and Im very happy I decided to purchase this product.
 
I had previously been using Etude House Be Clear Toner and I was fairly happy with it. (You can find a review on the product in one of my earlier posts on this blog ^^ )
 
After trying this one out I must say, while I still like the Be Clear Toner, I prefer this one. The consistency is a bit thicker than the Be Clear Toner and it has a smoother feel when applying it. It also doesnt leave my face feeling a bit damp after applying it like the Be Clear Toner.
 
As far as how well the product works, I would say it works as well as the Be Clear Toner, if not better for my skin type. (Combination oily-dry) This toner leaves my skin looking very bright and clear. It also makes it look and feel firmer and very clean. It also doesnt feel heavy which is a good quality in this product.
 
 
Holika Holika Petit BB Cream : Clearing
 
When I first ordered this BB Cream I was super excited because it said that it would help control sebum buildup on the areas of your skin that get oily throughout the day.
 
 Ive used it a few times since it arrived and overall I am happy with the product, but I would say it controls sebum buildup about as much as my Oil Free BB Cream does. It does an okay job of controlling oil buildup, keeping my makeup looking fresh and not oily for a fair amount of time.
 
Longer than other BB Creams Ive used and I didnt have to touch it up too much. I ended up having to touch it up and use a sheet of Oil paper around 12:30pm instead of  around 10:00am as I do with other BB Creams/Foundations which is a positive thing about the product. But, I wouldnt say it lasts all day long without having some oil buildup.
 
Positives:
 
Great coverage!
Smooth application
Light scent
Blends very well with my skin tone (pale with slight olive undertones)
Okay job of controling oil buildup
 
Negatives:
 
Doesnt last all day long in controlling oil buildup
 
TONYMOLY Dr. Tony Ac Control Acne Cleansing Foam
 
I recieved a sample of this product and I tried it out on myself and on my sister (who has a different skin type).
 
Review for Combination Oily - Dry Skin Type
 
I would say that out of 5 stars I would give this product a 4 out of 5 for my skin type. After using the product my skin felt very clean and fairly soft. It looked clean and bright, as your skin should after cleansing it. I dont usually get acne but for the rare times that I do, I would consider keeping this on hand as I feel it did a good job of settling and making the acne less noticable.
 
Review for Dry Skin Type 
 
I think this product worked better for my sister who has a dry skin type, and gets acne often. I would give it a 5 out of 5 stars if I were to rate this product for her skin type. Her skin looked noticably cleaner and brighter after using the cleanser and the spots in which she has acne are less noticable and said the condition of her skin felt better after using the cleanser.

Please look forward to my next reviews on the rest of the samples I recieved and I hope you enjoyed and found this post helpful!

*Tip*
 
If you cant afford or find some of the products off of makeup shop sites or the official brands site, I suggest checking out Apoly on Amazon.com. There are always high quallity, new products from the brand names/suppliers that are found on the blog. I highly recommend you check out Apoly, she/they are very professional and always get products to you on time and in perfect condition.

GGs hip-hop style has been a hot topic amoung fans and people who work in the fashion world, along with media reporters. Their new song and style has been called "innovative" and "forward-thinking", I must say, I agree.
 
 
Fans, as with many other music video styles, are wondering where they can get some of the pieces the girls wore. Well, fans are in luck! Most of the pieces they wore are available for purchase and arent too hard to find!
 
 
Here, Ill show a few examples of their eye-catching new style and tell you where to get it and who its designed by.

Product Review : Holika Holika , Lioele , & My Beauty Diary

 
So, as I promised on my last post, I am going to review the next products that I have ordered!

 
My Beauty Diary : Facial Absorbent Paper
 
I have been wanting to try this product for so long and I finally had a chance to order and try it out. I have used this product for a few days and so far I am super impressed with it. I tend to have an oily skin type and my T-zone also tends to look shiny and oily by the middle of the day. This also tends to make my makeup not look so great. Now, instead of having to smudge my makeup to cover up the oily spots, all I have to do is blot the oily areas with a sheet of the paper and my makeup looks as good as when I first put it on, and much less oily. I highly recommend picking up this product if you have oily skin type. This brand comes with 65 sheets of blotting paper and you only have to use one sheet, so this lasts for a good amount of time.
 
 
Holika Holika : Water March Moisture Full Cream
 
I recieved a sample size of this product with my full order of products. I am super happy I got this sample because because I have been searching around for a good face cream and I finally found one that works the best for my skin. This makes my skin look bright, firm and feel very smooth. Ive used this for about a week and I love the effects its had on my skin. I use this after cleansing and toning my face. I love this product because it doesnt make my face feel greasy or weighed down. It absorbes into my skin very well, so I suggest you to try out this product.
 
Lioele : Secret Pore Bright Gel Foundation
 
 
Now, I am not sure how to feel about this product. The sample I got of this foundation did not look like the picture above. The consistancy of the product was very thick and it clumped and flaked when I applied it to my skin. It looked very dull and did not spread out well on  my skin. Im not too sure whether the product was damaged during shipping, or exposed to moisture or maybe it was an old sample that had expired? The consitancy of the product in the picture is much thinner and smoother looking than the sample I got, therefore I cannot give a completely bad review or good review. I am not telling you not to buy it, and Im also not telling you to buy it.
 
All I can do is give you my experience with it and you can take my opinion and decide whether youd like to give it a try. I hope you all found this review helpful and that you enjoyed it! ^^
