Etude House Tint My Brows Gel Review (First Impression)

2016 FIrst Post
What am I holding? Innisfree Mineral Moisture Foundation!
Hey guys, so one of my resolution this year is to post frequently from now on, so here I am.
As the 2015 passed, I remembered some important things as I tried to rewind.
First of all, I finished my internship to fulfill the requirement of coursework. Although I would not say I have the most amazing experience however through internship it helped me to realized that certain field such as Customer Service or at least the certain industry is not my cup of tea.
It helped me to gain some experience but also realized that all the knowledge I learnt in college are useless there. Luckily it only lasted for 3 months.3 months consider long enough for me since the job didn't give me any salary or allowance.
Other than that, I bought lots and lots of products from Etude House since they always have B1F1 sales.
I purchased my first Victoria's Secret perfume this year as well, which is the Winter Bombshell. The face of this perfume is Candice which turn to be one of my favorite angel of all times. Seriously, the first time I saw the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is 2013 where Candice was selected for Fantasy Bra.
The moment I saw her opened the show, I was amazed by her and liked her immediately. So to support she and other angels I bought so many things from the VS store. Like so many that I become broke now. What should I do? #vsaddict
On the other hand, I also made my first purchase from Bath and Body Works in which I established a love hate relationship with it in which I will revealed it soon.
Oh by the way, I managed to listed in President list. What is President List? One can obtain President List if the GPA is 3.9 or above. So I am so happy that burning midnight oil is worth it afterwards.
It is the first academic "reward" that I achieved over past four years, which made me think that I should maintain my result from now on. If I can....
Anyway, I am so happy that f(x) made their comeback this year as well. They are so underrated in SM company but I hope that they can keep amazed us with their unique music. "Four Walls" is so cool and suitable when you wake up in the morning as well.
My classmate and I also managed to organized a campaign this year as well. With the strength of 7 people, we managed to pull off the campaign and save ourselves from fail.
So I guess that all, thanks for reading.
Everything will be rosy.
Exfoliate: Etude House Moistfull Collagen Peeling Wash Review
When it comes to exfoliate, what will you choose? Facial scrub, peeling gel or some exfoliating facial mask?Since our skin renew every 28 days, each time the old skin cell will be push up to the top layer of skin and replaced by the new and healthy skin cells.
So we need to get rid of it by exfoliating, or else it could lead to serious clogged pores, more acne, make up will cake up easily and flaky skin showed.
I used to use the facial scrub because I can feel all the fine grain massage all over my face.
However you should be careful when using scrub, when you rub too hard it may leave an invisible scar on you face.
I still haven't got the chance of using mask pack that has exfoliate features, such as Skin Food Black Sugar Mask because I do not have the money. (#firstworldproblem)
However after some years I exposed to the peeling gel which you can easily get rid of those dead skin cell, dust and dirt on your skin by rubbing the dead skin cell off directly and effortlessly.
It is easy and fun, I always like to view the dead skin cell that comes off my skin, and thought how did this grey skin stayed on my face without noticed it.
While I randomly scrolled through Etude House again, I saw this Moistfull Collagen Peeling Wash. And I must have it!
Now the packaging is nothing special, just a tube with the famous orange/coral color that the Collagen line has.
If you have been to Etude House store, you will surely see this color, since this is one of their best selling line and product that they have been promoting all the entire time.
Love the color!
The texture is unlike most of the peeling wash I have encountered so far, most of them are like clear gel texture, but this thing, my friend let me tell you it has a relatively rough gel texture.
When you spread it out, you can see the little jelly particles inside it. I think these jelly particles are the replacement for fine sugar grain which is more gentle to our skin.
The scent is similar to all the Moistfull Collagen line which is so good, so nice, so lovely. I just love the smell so much.
Just spread all over your face and massage for couple minutes and you are done.
One thing that I don't get it is that I can't seem to find the old skin cell that peeled off from my face, after cleansing and massage I can only see the tiny jelly particles.
So I really doubt whether this peeling wash does peel off all the impurities or not.
Undeniable my face do feel super smooth after using this, kinda like the Ginvera marvelwhite gel that I used before.
One good thing is that it provide and retain sufficient moisture even after all the cleansing and massage process. It is the Moistfull Line after all.
In conclusion, if you want an exfoliate product that does not suck up too much moisture from your skin, you should give this peeling wash a chance.

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?
"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.

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.
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.
Etude House In-Store Comparison: Old & New and Improved Precious Mineral Any Cushion (2015)
Nowadays everything that are new surely will attract attention from all around the world, the same goes to the improved items as well.
So shall we talk about the 2015 version of Precious Mineral Any Cushion?
Before I begin, I need inform you that this is a in-store review which mean I did review in the store since I do not purchase the new cushion yet. I just want to give you a basic idea. So, the information here will be limited as well.
So the new and improved any cushion arrived in Malaysia at last. Like the set up as always.
Description
This
flawless cushion foundation creates beautiful pearly bright skin with its full
coverage and smoothing effects.
Directions
After
morning skincare routine, apply by pressing the puff into the sponge and pat
the puff onto the face. For touch-ups, reapply as desired.
Packaging
Same size with old any cushion, the only difference between the new and old cushion is the casing.
The upper part of old any cushion is kind of matte while the new any cushion has a glossy texture all over the case, just like moist any cushion.
Sorry for not providing any photos here.
Ingredients
 |
| Old Any Cushion |
 |
| New Any Cushion |
I've compared the ingredients of old and new any cushion. I realized that the ingredient list is remain the same. So I thought maybe new any cushion is improve by changing the formula?
Performance

| Taken from Etude House Global Facebook Page |
One thing that I like about any cushion is that it is portable, convenient and requires no skill when applying.
So the new any cushion claim can be last for 8 hours and transform our skin into Pearly Bright Skin as well.
To me the old cushion can helps to brighten up my skin already, so no big surprise here. But I have to say lasting for 8 hour is pretty decent for air cushion.
There are 4 shades for this new cushion which are the light beige, rosy beige, nature beige and honey beige. However rosy beige is still not available in Malaysia yet. And I hope they can make a darker shade for tanned skin too.
I didn't manage to swatch or test it out there since I am in a hurry, but I believe I have a chance to do it soon.
So I guess that is all the information I have at the moment. The sales assistant just keep persuade me to buy since it is selling fast and having a high demand as well.
But no money means no.
Till next time!
Control Sebum with Etude House 에뛰드하우스 Wonder Pore Corrector (Review)
To choose my favorite product in the Wonder Pore line, I said I would definitely select this a little tube of holy grail as my top for sebum control.
To be honest, if it wasn't Pony saying that the Wonder Pore line is suitable for hot and humid country, I wouldn't buy the whole set at the first place.
I been using this little tube for months now, and I think it is by far the most effective product in this line.
Why? I will show you the reason.
Description
This is a light and moist gel-type spot essence that helps you maintain firm and clean pores with its multi-function if sebum control, pore toning, dead skin cell exfoliating, pore firming and moisturizing capabilities.
Directions
At the last stage if basic skincare, dispense a small amount and absorb into areas that need special care. For more effective absorption, massage gently with Wonder Pore Corrector's cooling tip instead of using fingers.
Ingredients
Packaging
As you can see, it is in a little tube form colored in the blue/cyan.
Really like this color a lot especially in skincare, because it looks clean and pure.
And the design is pretty simple, you can spot the iconic shield design that printed on every Wonder Pore products easily.
At the front of the tube, you can see a flat, metal tip where the gel dispense from.
To dispense the gel, just gently press the body of tube.
Since the tip is flat, you can massage the trouble areas easily with it and if you want to relax your skin, you can always put it inside refrigerator about 5-10 minutes before you use it.
The tip will be so cold and the massage will feel so good, I always use it in this way.
Scent & Texture
It has a faint flowery scent that I really like a lot. It smells pleasant and refreshing.
While the texture is in gel type. It spreads on the skin surface smoothly and easily without any tugging.
It is very lightweight too.
The moment you spread out, the texture becomes more watery.
Performance
As I mentioned above, I used this products for months and I really like it.
Because it control the sebum so well. Like the oiliest part of my face such as forehead and nose, will not feel greasy after applied it and it helps me to secrete only a little bit of sebum throughout the day!
If you massage it with the tip, the gel absorbs quickly into the skin too just like the essence. So no greasiness and stickiness.
Normally I will used it on my nose, forehead and chin.
So, like all the other products from this line, they all have the Total pore solution 7in1 printed on them, so I assumed that they all can achieve the same effect on different ways.
If not, just blame them for printing the 7in1 solution on each products.
Out of the 7 solution, this correcter managed to control a large amount of sebum and moisturize the skin. I'll give credit for that. But I don't see the other effects as stated.
The amount of product is limited which means you don't have to apply it on your whole face, just the part that secretes sebum the most.
If you put it on the normal/dry parts of your face, it might dry out your skin. Be aware of it, since I faced it sometimes.
I am happy that it managed to help with my sebum problem but seriously I hope it can minimize the size of pores too, which sadly didn't work out.
And for the dead skin exfoliating and pore toning, sorry to said that I think it doesn't deliver what it promises.
If you looking for something to solve your sebum problem, try this one! Just don't expect any other effects.
