Etude House Pearl Aura Brightening Essence Review

Don't you just love how your face are so radiant and brighten everything time you finish your skincare routine? So am I!

Our skin look the best whenever it has absorb sufficient moisture and nutrition from all the goodies.

The Etude House Pearl Aura Brightening Essence definitely bring the game on the next level. Just one product is enough to pamper your skin?

Check it out.



"This is a brightening essence that contains Tahiti black pearl extract based fine aurora particles that enhance the skin's natural transparent glow, brightening up dull areas for the effect of just awakened, fresh skin."

"With sufficient moisture and skin-friendly properties this essence absorbs quickly without the use if cotton pads, hugging the skin with its smooth texture for a healthy glow skin."

"Dispense a certain amount onto palms hands, spreading from inner to outer areas of face, lightly patting to absorbs remaining contents." 

  • Inside the bottle has "Aura Particle" that is so fine that my DSLR cannot capture at all. But it is shimmer that make your face reflect the sunlight so that your face look so bright.


  • Other than that, it also has deep clean ocean water that contains natural moisture ingredients that help us to achieve clear and transparent skin!






Look at the packaging please. It is so elegant and so classy. How could you resist this? 

The bottle is in silver color but some hints of purple color will be reflected under the sunlight. Gorgeous, seriously gorgeous. Have more of this design, please.

OK, the reason I bought this product is mostly influenced by the packaging. And the Etude House Malaysia website has been recommend this product for some times, so I thought why not?

Besides that, it got pump applicator. Anything with pump is a good thing for me.

Easy to get the essence out, clean and hygiene.



It is light as water and runny as well. Apply smoothly without any problem.

Did you see the glow on my hand! That what I want my skin to have everyday. It makes the skin look healthier and fresh.

It scent though, smells like light perfume but very soothing. I enjoy it a lot.



Overall, it is a decent product not too bad not too good. Why do I say so? 

I have used this essence for half year now (or maybe more), but the problem that it has is that the brightening effect does not last long. About 3 hours? Then my skin look dull again.

It does help to moisture as well, this is great when you need those light sufficient moisture when you are rush to work or school. 

But I don't have any transparent or clear skin as it promised in long term. This is one of the product that you need to apply everyday to achieve that clear skin. 

No break out from using this product so that's good.

I would recommend this product to oily skin as well. It is so light and absorb quickly that your skin won't feel sticky or oily.

Actually I really like all the dewy look which the face is healthy and glowing. However! The big pores I have made me not to enjoy it!

It makes the pores more noticeable and like attract other people attention over to the ugly pores rather than your glowing face.

So the not-so-exaggerate glow that this essence provide is a good alternative for someone like me, who like dewy skin but unable to do it because of the enlarged pores. 

Interesting product, but I noticed the box has written"Whitening Efficiency" on it. Sadly, it should be brightening efficiency if I am correct. Nope, this essence does not has any whitening effects.

The review ends here. Thanks for reading.

Etude House Wonder Pore Balancing Cream Review

Not too long ago I published my review on the Wonder Pore Clearing emulsion and tightening essence, so today I am going to review the another new addition to the line, Balancing Cream.

Even though in Malaysia, I normally do not apply cream on day time since it is humid and hot. Apply heavy or intense moisture cream could made our face look greasy quickly under scorching sun.

However we should apply cream at night in order to retain moisture while we are sleeping especially in air conditioner room.



"This is a pore moisture cream containing peppermint extract with a formula that evens out the pore's oil and moisture balance for smooth pores"

"After applying Wonder Pore Clearing Emulsion, dispense a certain amount and spread gently onto face"




Let's talk about the PACKAGING, it has a sturdy plastic body in slight dark blue and a silver cap. Open the cap, you'll see another small cap act as a separator to prevent dust falling into the cream and preserve the hygiene.

For those who concern with the cleanliness/ appearance of the product could get so frustrated in this cream. The cap can easily get fingerprint all over. It was so cool at first but now it just become so dirty with printed print on it.

So I never bother to clean it.

The cream comes with a spatula as well.

The SCENT is similar to the other products in this series as well, a faint fresh fragrance that is not too overwhelming.



The cream is in GEL TEXTURE (similar with Baobab moist cream)which can apply smoothly on our skin. The consistency is quite thick as well, like a gel mask.

It takes a while to absorb completely hence I do not apply on daytime. Although it is rich in moisture however it does not feel sticky or oily upon application.

Even though it is not sticky or oily, however I just don't like to apply cream in daytime. Just emulsion would be enough.




Supposedly this cream not only provide you moisture but also help to maintain the oil balance as well. Moisture and oil need to be balanced so that the skin will not be dehydrate or too oily.

OVERALL I like this cream, it does a good job at moisturizing as you can see from the pic above, I mean look at how moisture it is!

Just apply a thin layer before you sleep definitely help you to have a soft face next morning.

About oil balancing? Sorry I could not tell you because I use it as night cream so I could not experience how it control the balance.



What can I tell you about is that most of the Etude House cream products come in small sizes. For this cream, even I used it once a day but I almost used up more than half of it for one month.

So it is quite expensive for its size in Malaysia.

Etude House Wonder Pore Tightening Essence Review

I'm the Wonder Woman for Your Pores, More Powerful!

Today we are going to look at this Tightening Essence from the Wonder Pore series, to see whether it does what it claim to "tighten" our pores or not.




"This is a pore essence that tightens pores for smooth and firm pores. After applying emulsion, dispense a certain a certain amount and spread gently onto face."

"After applying Wonder Pore Freshner, dispense a certain amount and spread gently onto face."

I do not whether you aware or not, but there is a contradict between the description and direction.

Description tells us to apply after emulsion, but direction tells apply after toner.

For me, just apply after toner, since it is a regular skin care sequence.


This essence is launched after Etude House change their formula of the highly raved Wonder Pore Freshner by adding Mint Vinegar and Anti Pore-Dex Complex to achieve 10 in 1 effect as an improvement of 7 in 1 before.

Along with this essence, there are also facial foam, moisture cream and emulsion launched together as well.

Compared to others, this is the right product if you want to reduce the size of pores. Other products focus mainly on moisture.

PACKAGING wise, very similar to the Wonder Pore Clearing Emulsion. Nothing special, just smaller in size. 

It has a pump dispenser which I really like, since it is more hygiene and convenient compare to those squeeze type or bottle type where you know you need to hold it upside down to get the product out. 



So the SCENT, similar to the Wonder Pore Clearing Emulsion again. Very fresh and not overwhelming as well. 

Regarding to the TEXTURE, it is a gel type essence. It apply smoothly and easily too. Suitable for oily type. 

It is semi transparent, the moment when you applied the essence it maybe kind of heavy however it absorb pretty fast so do not worry about it too much.




I have been using this essence for almost one month now, does it "tighten" up my pores?

Sadly to say, it did not happened to me. My PORES SIZE are still remain the same. Maybe I need to try for another month to see the effect?

As you know once the pores are enlarged, it is very difficult for it to return to its original size. A stubborn headache indeed. 

What is more worst is that, Malaysia is a hot and humid country. Hence, our face will start to produce sebum and sweat right after we leave our house. 

Even you want it or not, you are bound to face this problem here. Unless you stay in indoor ever since you are born.



But it does provide MOISTURE for me, not those intense moisture but maybe adequate enough for oily skin. 

Overall I would not encourage to those who wish to have a miracle happens quickly. I do think this essence need to take a long time to show effect. Remember pore is not an easy issue to fix anyway.

The review ends here. 

Sorry for lack of update in this blog. I just finish my final exam on Friday. That why I neglect this place so much. 

So now I will be free for about 1 month and maybe I can focus on this blog again. Stay tuned to my blog please. 

Emulsion for oily skin! Etude House Wonder Pore Clearing Emulsion Review

Etude House Wonder Pore Clearing Emulsion Review

"I'm the Wonder Woman for Your Pores, More Powerful!"

Last month I spotted the new line of Wonder Pore appeared in the outlet, and I thought "I should try the whole line." And so I purchased the whole new collection except for their facial cleanser.

Anyway since this month the Buy 1 Free 1 promotion is still ongoing, so I thought I can review the products to give you an idea whether you want it or not.



This time is the Wonder Pore Clearing Emulsion.

"This is a pore emulsion that organizes pores with its fresh texture and light finish."

"After applying Wonder Pore Tightening Essence, dispense a certain amount and spread gently onto face."



I had huge issues for my pores, they are huge, big and noticeable since I "had" oily skin (turning to dry skin now). So I hoped that this Wonder Pore could help me.


The new Wonder Pore has 10 in 1 function instead of 7 in 1 function compared to the old products.

-Deep cleanse pores
-Minimize appearance of pores
-Control a large amount of sebum
-Moisturize inside and outside of skin
-Complete smooth glass-like texture
-Balance skin's ideal pH level
-Refine skin tone
-Keep the elasticity of pores
-Remove skin surface's dead skin cells
-Cleanse pores with cooling effects



This is a emulsion with a pump which I preferred that those that need to shake or squeeze. This is more convenient and hygiene.

Normally four pumps would be enough for me.

Packaging wise, it has the same minty blue that appeared on all Wonder Pore products. Nothing too extraordinary.

The scent thought, it has a fresh scent which is not the powdery or flowery scent we got in most skin care products. It is not overwhelming as well, the scent disappeared after applied.




For texture, it is really lightweight and watery (runny). At first, when I applied on my face, it was oily. But after few seconds of rubbing in circular motion, it absorb quickly without the feeling of greasy and sticky. Perfect for oily skin.

After fully adsorbed, the skin become very smooth as well.




However I am disappoint at its moisture function. Since this is suitable for those oily to very oily skin, it does not provide intense moisture but provide sufficient moisture that prevent clogging the pores.

When I went into to classroom, my face will be become slight dry and feel stretching after 15 minutes which proves it moisture is not enough for me.


This is not for dry to normal skin but ideal for oily to very oily skin, in my opinion.

This emulsion is purely for moisture and does not help with the tightening pores or reduce pore sizes.

Penang Gerogetown Toys Cafe


In the busy road of Penang, there was a theme cafe that can triggers the playful side hidden deep inside the heart.

Hey everyone! Not long ago I went to Toys cafe located at Lebuh Street for my assignment that required us to shoot a corporate video. Although cafe isn't a corporate however by that time all corporate companies were busy for Hari Raya Sales hence we choose this alternative option.

I would never want to go inside heritage area for lunch or dinner, because parking lots are a major issue there, if you are really lucky then you can find a parking space but you are not, then you would have to keep waiting for miracle.

But this is for my assignment so I have no way but to go.




Once you enter the place, you will be bombarded by impressive numbers of collection that the owner collected. No kidding.

If I can collect the same amount of skincare product, if would be a dream.

Anyway, from these toys you can noticed some familiar faces such as doraemon, Superman and Batman. Some of these characters accompany me to grow up! It certainly let you reminiscence your childhood.


At the second floor, there will be less toys however it provides larger space and the owner even prepare some comic that allow customers to enjoy as well.



Besides toy figures, the shop also filled with wall arts as decoration. Not sure if the owner drew all this but they are beautifully draw! Omg, every details have been drawn inside as well. Like it.

So, other than comfortable environment, a cup of nice coffee is the soul of a successful cafe.


It was pretty isn't it? This was the owner idea to create anime characters as the coffee art for the coffee. Gotta praise for his creativity.

What I showed above was a latte. I am not a coffee person so this didn't leave a big impression on me. It was creamy, the aroma had a classic touch, but I have to add in two packets of sugar to add in some sweetness. If not it was too plain for me.



These was the cake that my friends ordered that day. Each plates has a different characters on the plate. Again, praise for the good drawing.

The one that I personally like was the cheesecake in the middle. Cheesecake is my favorite cake so when it comes to cheesecake I will be very picky.

However this cheesecake is so delicious. The creamy texture along with the appropriate sweetness from the blueberry flavor. The surface is so smooth and the inner is so soft. Although it still lose to secret recipe but it was still delicious.

So that all for my trip to Toys cafe, we started shooting from 6pm until 8 or 9pm. Shooting is never an easy job. I just want to share my experience to you all.

Till next time.

July Skincare Haul (Etude House & The Face Shop)

Hi, I'm back for a quick and short blog post before I start my assignment.

July, a month that full with crazy sales! Once enter the shopping centre, you could see all shops have a sign indicate they are having sales now! Buy 1 Free 1, 50% - 30%, Buy 2 Free 1.....and more.

Others might be rational to resist all these temptation while I find myself pulling into the endless black hole of spending money.

 So today I am going to show you what I bought till now.

First off Etude House!

1. Wonder Pore Tightening Essence 


I have to say that this essence is the only reason that drives me to buy the whole series of Wonder Pore. Bought the freshner, whipping foam and corrector before. Not too impressed seriously.

Hope that the new range of Wonder Pore can perform better. 

2. Wonder Pore Clearing Emulsion



3. Wonder Pore Balancing Cream



4. Moistfull Collagen Peeling Wash


5. Moistfull Super Collagen Eye Concentrate 


Next would be The Face Shop, although I only bought one item from there.

6. The Therapy Essential Tonic Treatment


Look at this expensive, fancy looking beauty product. Gosh, fall for it ever since The Face Shop uploaded the commercial video of this series.

Haven't use it yet but it seems promising. 

So that's all I bought in this single month, in case you don't know I literally spent over RM450 for only these 6 items only. Each of them is expensive!

Need to rush my assignment now, till next time.
