BEAUTY: Summer Korean Hauls! (Late Post) X Innisfree

Hello! 
It's the second part of my summer Korean hauls. In this post, I'll mostly talk about my Innisfree hauls, because it were the most of my hauls came from. It's my first time purchased Innisfree, so I'm going to include my first impression of it also. If you want me to post my Korean Album hauls, leave a comment below. :) Enjoy!
 

1. Mineral Stick Concealer

Finally got a legit concealer. My old concealer was from Tony Moly, and it was old and maybe expired. So, I'm so happy got to have a concealer. I heard Innisfree products are good and it's organic! I mean natural or whatsover it is. This concealer does a great job for discoloration and scars. But it does not conceal the new scars, when there is a dry part-- you what I meant right? I bought the second shade of 3 shade available. I bought a darker shade, because I need it for concealing my acne and its scars left behid. The concealer cost for KRW 8,000 or $ 8.00. 
2. Smart Foundation Water Balancing


Hello to glowy-Korean-face! I bought a new bb cream type foundation. I saw this on Pony's Diary on Youtube, she is a Korean Beauty Blogger. She used all the 5 types of this line. So, I want to give it a try. The packaging is so sleek and nice! It also doesn't cost much for a great result. I cost for KRW 5,500 or $5.50. I have a great expectation on this foundation! :)

3. Smart Makeup Blender


Well, I don't really know exactly what's the function of this thing. But, when I saw this on Pony's Diary, it can be a primer,  a volumer, and a mix for making a liquid blush. (I'm sorry, but I can't find the video, I would like to show it to you actually. But you may check her videos here). I haven't try it, so I'll make a separate blog about this review. This cost slightly more expensive than the foundation which is KRW 6,000 or $6.00. (btw, Innisfree came up with new products of this smart makeup line).

4. Tapping Lip Concealer

It was huge trend in Korea, where you conceal your lips with concealer, to make the real colors of the  lipstick or lipgloss showed up. So, that's my real intention. I was about to try those tips. I watched quite a lot Korean makeup tips on the internet or TV. This cost for KRW 10,000 or $10.00. I know it's quite expensive, but I'll give it a try.

5. Eye Primer


Finally bought a legit eye primer. I got some samples of Urban Decay famous eye primer when I bought the Naked 2 Palette. But then I need a 'real' eye primer, so I gave this a try. The eye primer packaging is very simple but doesn't look appealing. This cost for KRW 6,000 or $6.00.

6. Shadow Pencil

The reason I bought this because some of beauty blogger who used Korean products used this and my mom said she wants to use eyeshadow. Since, she can't do makeup, so this type of eyeshadow was great for her. It has the same function with Etude House's 101 Play Pencil, but this one came out the chubby version and all of the colors are shimmery one. I bought 2 colors, which are white for my corner eyes, and makes that cute Korean makeup style, and pink for my mom. The shadow pencil cost for KRW 7,500 or $ 7.50.

7. Eco Beauty Tool: Blackhead Out Brush


I wanted to buy the Clarisonic brush for my face, but when I went to Korea, most of the shops sell it, even though it was not as high-tech as Clarisonic. So, since I will buy it someday, I didn't purchase it for my face. In the end, I bought just for removing blackhead. I've used it, but I don't really see the difference. Maybe I didn't use it the proper way and the product to removing the blackhead was not good. But, the brush itself is veryy soft! I liked it. :D This costs for KRW 10,000 or $ 10.00. It was quite expensive compared to the small size of it. 

8. Eco Beauty Tool: Makeup Angle Eyebrow Brush



I don't know why I bought it. I don't usually draw my eyebrows, since I have a thick and full eyebrow. But maybe it will do something good later on. The brush costs for KRW 3,500 or $3.50. I think it was affordable for something 'eco'.

9. Green Barley Multi Cleansing Tissue

Basically, it is a cleansing wipes to take off your makeup easily and quickly. Usually, I used the Pond's Oil Control Cleansing Wipes, but it was not really effective in removing your makeups, especially eye makeup. So, I decided to buy one, since I brought makeups to Korea, but I didn't bring any remover and my cleansing foam in Korea was supposedly expired, since I bought it when I went there 2 years ago. Haha. This wipes quite wet, but it do a great job! Especially when I had a lots of acne. It also have a oily effect after you used it, but it was not a problem since I washed my face afterwards. The wipes cost for KRW 6,500 or $ 6.50 for 50 sheets. (I'm sorry, I don't take the picture, so, I used the picture on their website.)

10. Nail Polishes


Last but not least, nail polishes! Korean beauty shops offer a very cheap nail polishes with good quality of course. I bought Innisfree white nail polish and Eco Quick Dry Multi Coat. I've try the multi coat on my Christmas Themed nails (you can see the pictures here) and it was quite good. It dries fast. yeay! I haven't try out the white nail polish, because I used the Faceshop's first. The White nail polish cost for KRW 2,500-3,500 or $ 2.50- 3.50,  depends on the colors you bought. For the multicoat it costs for KRW 3,500 or $ 3.50.

I love Innisfree now! They gave a generous amount of samples and gifts. They gave us some of their skincare samples, makeup pouch that acts like a keychain, and many more! I'll definitely going to buy their other products someday.


That's all for my Korean Beauty Products! Let me know if you want me to show you my Korean Album Hauls. :)
See you soon!

BEAUTY: Summer Korean Hauls! (Late Post) X Etude House X The Faceshop

Hi there!
I apologize for the late of this post. Today, I'm going to post my Korean Hauls this summer. It has a lot of things, so I'm going to separate it into 2 parts. This post is about my Etude House and The Faceshop hauls. and the other post is about Inisfree hauls and some other things I bought in Korea. If you want me to post my holiday in Korea, just leave a comment here! :)
 

So, the first one is Etude House hauls! I went to their shop for 2 or 3 times, but I didn't buy much for myself. I bought a lots of things here for my friends, mom, and for buying souvenirs.


Dust Cut Facial Mist
I purchased this mist because I thought it might help during the days I spent on walking by foot and living in Jakarta (with those pollution surround me). I don't know if its really effective or not, but the mist is awesome! It does not taste bitter (you know mists sometime came into your mouth), feel refreshing, and smells good. The packaging itself also simple and neat, it doesn't look like the typical cute packaging of Etude House. This product cost for KRW 9,500 or $9.50. 
Princess Happy Ending Belle Rose Cheek Blusher

Finally, I got a new blush! Even though it was almost the same shade with the one I have now, but I can alternate it or have another back up of blusher. I purchased the Princess Edition one because it just so pretty. :3 I haven't try it out until now, so I'll make a review about it later. I've check out for the price on the website, but I can't found it anymore. Maybe it was just for a limited time. So, I'm happy to have the limited edition one. :D
Etoinette Crystal Shine Lips


 I purchased something I didn't use often, which is lipstick. I don't like using lipstick or lipgloss, but I became use of it. So, I decided to buy one, because I don't have a proper lipstick. Usually, I borrowed my mom, which have a different taste of color for lipstick. I bought the Etoinette line, which is quite pricey but, the packaging looks classy. I haven't try this out, but the color was so pretty. I bought in shade #002. The lipstick cost for KRW 13,000 or $13.00.

Play 101 Pencil

The cute sharpie

Last but not least on my Etude House's hauls, the famous Play 101 Pencil. I saw this product on the Instagram and their website. I'm very sure to buy this whenever I visit Etude House. I bought 3 colors which are, brown (#50), glittery pink (#6), and shimmery broken white (#5). I purchased those 3 colors because they are going to be used by me often. They have a lots of color, like a pencil color! This product can act as a eyeliner, eyeshadow, and lip liner. It's a multifunction product! This only cost for KRW 6,000 or $6.00. It's quite cheap for the function given.

Next up is The FaceShop hauls!

Luminous Perfume Face Powder


 Yeay! I got my own loose powder. Before, I chose to purchased this, I search on the internet which is the best loose powder, and this came in 4th place. It's affordable and good, who didn't want to have it? It has a strong scent, because it is perfumed, so if anyone have allergic to strong scent, I didn't recommend it. The packaging also good and PINK! :D I don't remember the price, but it was not as pricey as other loose powder.

White Jewel Peeling

 Bought a peeling gel/scrub just because my regular one was almost finished. Since I want to try out the other brand and I saw it on The Faceshop display rack, I bought this. I don't know anything about it, so I just chose from the rating on the packaging. There are 4 variants with different of main ingredients. I chose the pearl one, because the rating for both harshness and moisturizing are 4 stars. I'll give this a try after I've finished my It's Skin Mangowhite Peeling gel (read my review here). The Faceshop's peeling gel/scrub cost for KRW 7,900 or $7.90.

Daily Beauty Tools Blusher and Shading Brush



I'm in a mission to have makeup brushes. Actually, I wanted to buy the Sigma brush or Real Technique brush, but I didn't get the chance to buy it and it's quite pricey. Since I don't do make up everyday, so I just bought what I really needed. I don't have a blusher brush and I just bought an Etude House blush that doesn't come with the applicator. So, I have a good reason to buy one. The brush itself looks good and have a clean cut. The brush cost for KRW 7,000 or $7.00. Isn't it cheap?

Trendy Nails Nail Polish (es)


I really wanted to have a Christmas themed nail since I'm into beauty stuffs. I don't really like using nail polish, actually. Just on some occasions, I wear nail polishes. So I decided to buy white and red nail polish. Actually, I've bought the white one in Innisfree, but I just realized I bought another white in the Faceshop. The Faceshop has a promo for their nail polish, it's buy 1 get 1 free. yeay! I like free stuffs. Since it only cost for KRW 2,000 or $2.00, how come I don't hestitate to buy 4 colors. The rule is you buy the same variant. For example the basic one with the basic one, or the glitter one with the glitter one. I got white, red, gold, and glitter white.

Since the Korean beauty shop always generous with samples and gifts, I got a small mirror. Isn't it look like Anna Sui's mirror? Btw, there are a lot of samples, masks, gifts I got from my hauls, but I didn't post it here, because it's just too much! Hehe.


That's all for part 1 hauls! Keep on reading for the part 2. :)
 Thanks!

BEAUTY REVIEW: It's Skin Peeling Gel

Hello!!
Finally, got the chance to post on this blog again! after around 6 months busy with uni life. *sigh* I got a full month of holiday. So, I will post blog as much as I can, since I have lots of things to share. 
So, first up! My review about It's Skin Peeling Gel. check it out! 

Everyone have dead skins. To get rid of it, most of us go for facial, masks, or just deep cleansing. Now, there is an easy way to get rid of it, since there is a product named peeling gel. The application is very easy, it doesn't take a long time, and it's inexpensive! You didn't need to go to the salon or take a long time in the bathroom. I've used this product for quite some time. The peeling gel I used is It's Skin "Mangowhite Peeling Gel". 

Product info:


Name: Mangowhite Peeling Gel
Brand: It's Skin
Origin: Korea
This product does an amazing job! The effect lasts for a week. It makes my skin smoother, clean, tight, and not oily. My skin type is acne-prone skin, so when I got my period my hormone produce those acne, and the way I minimized it was by using this peeling gel. I used this twice a month, since it is act like a scrub, so it is not good to use it on daily basis. The good news is peeling gel is not as harsh as facial scrub, but it does a good job. I would recommend to everyone this product. 

I bought this when I went to Korea, because my mom did buy another peeling gel from different brand and I kinda like it and want to have it for myself. So, I got to buy this peeling gel from It's Skin basically because at that time 2PM is the one who endorse it. So yeah.. Thankfully, they didn't fail me! 

I've bought another peeling gel from Faceshop and I can't wait to use it. I'll use it after this product finished. Keep tune on my blog, since I've got a lot of products to talk about! 

Thank you for reading!

P.S: Last summer, I went to Korea, which means a BIG HAUL coming up! :D

BEAUTY: Korean Hauls!

HELLO! 
This is my second post of hauls! This time, I ordered some Korean beauty products from Korea directly via my uncle! :D He came to Indonesia for holiday as well as business trip. I bought some brands such as, Dr Jart, The Faceshop, Tony Moly, and Etude House. So, if you are interested, keep on reading! 


Dr Jart Hauls
Dr Jart is a Korean cosmetic brand that made to sell outside Korea, for example USA. That's why Dr Jart seems like it was USA brand and the price is relatively higher than the other Korean brand. At first, I did not know that Dr Jart is Korean brand until, recently, I saw it on a blog. Dr Jart are known for its good quality of product, especially their BB Cream. But, this time, I did not buy their BB Cream (but my friend does). I bought their acne treatment product line (Ctrl+ A), Spot Out and Spot Cover and their cleansing foam (V7). The picture below shows that I bought Dr Jart's BB Cream, but it was not mine. It was my friend's.


Etude House Hauls
The most mainstream brand in Korea. Everywhere you go in Korea, you will see this brand. I did not buy a lot of things from Etude House. I bought Proof 10 Auto Pencil Liner and Aloha Bronzer + Highlighter. But the bronzer is not mine. 

The Faceshop Hauls
The Faceshop is one of the famous brand in Korea, but in Indonesia it is not that famous. I bought their brush eyeliner, Face It Extreme Brush Pen Eyeliner in #1 Black Force. I heard that their liner is a BOOOM! So, I'm going to give it a try. Also, I bought 5 facial foam from this brand. But, 4 of them are my friend's. The facial foam is quite good I guess. My friend seem likes it very much, so I'm going to try it too. The facial foam I bought are Herb Day Cleansing Foam in Aloe Vera, Lemon, Mung-beans, Peach, and Cherry scent. I got to try the Mung-Beans one. 



Tony Moly Haul
Tony Moly might heard strange, because I rarely heard or read people on the internet using this brand. But, I reallyyy like it! I used to used their brand a lot. From my facial foam to their cologne. This time, I only bought their eye-makeup eraser, Panda's Dream. It is a crayon like eye makeup eraser, that has a waxy texture. I've bought the marker type one and it was my HOLY GRAIL makeup tools! This is their new type of product and I'm trying it now. I've compared it on a small amount of eyeliner, it doesn't work well. The marker type is better than the crayon waxy type. 
 

So, that's all my hauls this time! I did not write my review this time. I'll do it separately. If you want to see the review, stay tune on my blogs! See you! :D
