[REVIEW] Mamonde Rose Moisturizing Flower Lab Essence Mask

Mamonde Rose Moisturizing Flower Lab Essence Mask Review

Mamonde Rose Moisturizing Flower Lab Essence Mask Review:

The first thing I want to point out is that this new collection of masks isn’t a remake of the Flower Essence collection – they are incredibly different. And if in my previous review of this collection I thought this mask was a remake of the Rose Moisturizing Flower Essence Mask using this mask proved me oh so wrong. Regardless, I was surprised with the previous mask I tried from this collection, so of course I am very excited to write about roses too!

[REVIEW] Skinmiso Spot Repairing Serum

Skinmiso Spot Repairing Serum Review

Skinmiso Spot Repairing Serum Review:

Many Korean products that are meant for people with acne, use before and after photos of people who supposedly used their products. It’s impossible to not stumble upon one of these. I personally always react like “eyy there’s no way that’s real” and then I proceed to read more about the product and get mesmerized by the photos.. until I finally use it and realize it’s a complete let-down.

This serum was one of these cases however, knowing that many people love and swear by Skinmiso’s products, I really felt a “this is the one” vibe. I truly had a feeling that this product will make my scars fade away right away- or will it; Read the rest of the review and see for yourself!

[REVIEW] Missha Pop Tastic Jelly Tint Sweet Papaya

Missha Pop Tastic Jelly Tint Sweet Papaya Review

Missha Pop Tastic Jelly Tint Sweet Papaya Review:

Missha Pop Tastic Jelly Tint is not a new product from Missha, in fact they were released about 1 – 2 year ago and even collaborated with LINE Friends and made the tint with the characters from LINE on the packaging.

If I’m not mistaken they had 6 to 7 shades available when they launched it but recently, I believe they added 4 more shades on the collection. Actually their shades selection are pretty good, they have light shades like pink and orange but with the additional shades, you can even get the more neon or deeper shades. To be honest the reason I got this lip tint was just because the shades range.

Missha itself in my opinion isn’t that well-known in lip tint department. They are more famous for their face products (their BB Cream is amazing!) so I didn’t get too much results when I was looking for some reviews about their lip tints. So let’s see if the Pop Tastic Jelly Tint can beat my other favorite lip tints.

[REVIEW] Polatam Pure Cream Firming Radiance Mask

Polatam Pure Cream Firming Radiance Mask Review

Polatam Pure Cream Firming Radiance Mask Review:

Polatam is a brand I’ve frequently seen around and heard about, but due to the price tag, have always been wondering about from afar. Claimed to be created by Park Tam Hee, an acclaimed Korean actress with a keen knowledge of beauty and skincare, the Polatam skincare range definitely caught my eye more due to its chic packaging more than anything.

Overall very clean and classy, with interesting notable ingredients thrown about, I was definitely excited when I was gifted a couple of masks from this range to try out. But the question remains: does the quality/experience reflect its price tag?

[REVIEW] Etude House Face Liquid Blur Cherry Blossom Edition

Etude House Face Liquid Blur Cherry Blossom Edition Review

Etude House Face Liquid Blur Cherry Blossom Edition Review:

The first time I tried the original face blur I wasn’t that impressed with it – but that was my first impression of it. Once I tried it again I actually really liked it and I was about to order it again when I saw that Etude House came out with this Cherry Blossom edition. Naturally being a fan of sakura (cherry blossom) designs, I couldn’t resist trying this version of the face blur.

What I didn’t realize was that this is actually different from the regular one, but I didn’t realize that until it had arrived. So, I wasn’t sure how I would like this formula compared to the regular one. I wanted this for the pretty design mostly but it’s a shame it’s not the same as the regular one. What if I really love the formulation of this one and it’s discontinued too soon? Hopefully that won’t be the case, but let’s see if the formula matches the pretty and lovely packaging.

[REVIEW+SWATCHES] The Face Shop Coca Cola Lip Tint 05 Coke Red

The Face Shop Coca Cola Lip Tint 05 Coke Red Review

The Face Shop Coca Cola Lip Tint 05 Coke Red Review:

I’m not a fan of The Face Shop since I didn’t get too many positive results from their products (so far I’ve tried their base, cleansing and skincare products). I know they always release collaboration with other famous brands like Disney and Kakao, and this time they collaborated with Coca Cola which I think is very unique and different.

I purchased the cushion just because of the packaging but after I read Cintya’s review of the lip tint, I was tempted to try it as well since my lips and her lips type is a little bit similar. If I’m not mistaken, usually The Face Shop didn’t release a new product for their collaboration so I’m guessing this tint may be one of their older products but packaged in a different packaging.

The collection was sold out almost on every local online seller I found so I had to get it directly from South Korea and it took almost 2 months because of Eid holiday. I hope the quality would be as good as the packaging (and worth the wait).

[REVIEW] Mamonde Mix & Match Mask Sheet Pore Care Green & Moisture Holding Blue

Mamonde Mix & Match Mask Sheet Pore Care Green & Moisture Holding Blue Review

Mamonde Mix & Match Mask Sheet Pore Care Green & Moisture Holding Blue was purchased by Cosmeperks.

This new mask from Mamonde at first looks a lot like the Laneige Two Tone Mask, however it comes with a big difference that makes it better at least when it comes to the concept: you actually choose each of the two parts of the mask – or if you want just top or just bottom that is also okay! Because you purchase each of the parts individually you can pretty much use them however you see fit. Now, I don’t know about quality, but the concept and price of the Mamonde definitely win. So I chose Pore Care for the top part, and Hydration (they say moisture in English but the word they used in Korean was hydration) for the bottom part! Let’s see how it goes.

[REVIEW] Holika Holika Sweet Peko Bun Puff

Holika Holika Sweet Peko Bun Puff Review

Holika Holika Sweet Peko Bun Puff Review:

The Sweet Peko collection is a collaboration between a famous Korean beauty brand Holika Holika with a female character called Peko from FUJIYA CO. LTD. From what I read before, Peko is a famous mascot and she was founded in Japan and FUJIYA themselves was known for their gourmet businesses.

When Holika Holika launched the Sweet Peko collection, I knew I had to get the bun puff because the packaging was so cute. I’m not quite sure why a Korean brand like Holika Holika can collaborate with a Japanese brand but I have to say that their products for the collab are very cute and have one of the best packaging I’ve ever seen from a Korean beauty.

I dislike any of beauty sponges aside from Beauty Blender, Real Techniques, and EcoTools because other sponges I’ve tried from drugstore were so hard and rough it felt so uncomfortable. They also tend to absorb more product and made the application look patchy but because of the cute the packaging, it’s the only reason I gave the Sweet Peko bun puff a chance.
