Etude House (2) and Innisfree review (1)

Sooo, it's been a while since I last purchased something and there's still a lot of products that I need to order. I have a very limited budget every month but I recently gained a bonus, so here I am again!

I ordered from jolse.com again. They seem to have become my favorite cosmetic store by now (hehe).

As usual my things arrived in a sturdy box with every thing wrapped securely in bubble wrap. None of the things were damaged. The box only had a small hit on the front (as shown in the picture).

This time i bought two things. One from Etude House and the other from Innisfree. I got the Etude House Lovely Cookie Blusher and Innisfree No-Sebum Mineral Powder.

I was in love with the Lovely Cookie Blush from Etude House the moment I saw it for the first time. It comes in a variety of colors (more than 10 I think?). However, it was very hard to see which color was named what on their website so I went with "Strawberry Choux". The case is very easy to carry around and it's also very cute. The puff makes it easy to apply and blend the blush on your cheeks. Even though the ribbon on it adds extra looks, it doesn't make it easy to grab the puff. I had to hold it tightly with my thumb and pointer finger, which doesn't create a 'sturdy' applying process. Even though the color is very vibrant, it doesn't show that much on your cheeks. Taking pictures wont help that much either.

I've always wanted to get this no-sebum powder. I personally think I have quite the sebum problem, mostly on my nose and forehead. Originally I was going to buy the Etude House Dear Girls Oil Control Pact but I heard this one worked miracles. It's with a natural mineral from the Island of Jeju in South Korea. It's also with natural originated mint. Natural ingredients are typical for innisfree. The jar is a soft, pastel green color to match with the mint. When you open the lid you se a security sticker that shows that the powder hasn't been used.

The first thing i noticed was the smell. It smells a little like mint but like some kind of powdery mint. Kind of weird. This powder is excellent for sucking up sebum. You can't see that you are wearing the powder, perfect for those makeup-free days where your face is a little greasy. This is my favorite so far.

To conclude this, the blush was in the perfect color. The color is very vibrant to look at, but it doesn't show up that much on your face. The case is also so cute and it's nice to have with me in case of ghost face.

The sebum powder is the best I have tried so far. It's easy to apply and I don't think it's possible to add too much. It's great at sucking up sebum, sweat and other similar liquids. It's not obvious that you are wearing it and everyone else wont suspect a thing! If you are to busy one morning, you can just dab a little on your face and you are ready to go.

Would I recommend these products: Yes, if you need some color for your face, then the blusher is a good beginner's item. it's also my first blush and I love it already.

The sebum powder is amazing for sebum control. It's easy to apply, you don't need much and it  for a long time. If your face get's greasy again then it's easy to puff your face again.

This is all for this time. There are some more reviews I need to write, so I better get back to work! You can buy the blush here and the sebum powder here.

It's good to be back~

Etude House Review (1)

So I just recently ordered from jolse.com and my things just arrived!

jolse.com is a website that sells Korean cosmetic brands such as Etude House, Lioele, Holika Holika, It's Skin, Innisfree and MANY, MANY more.

My product was packed like this. It came in this small, compact and sturdy box. My address and name was written correctly. The package arrived without any damage at all. I sent my order on the 1st of September and I received it on the 9th the same month. I was surprised since their normal delivery time to Europe is 10-20 days. That is a major plus and I didn't even pay extra!

Inside, the thing I ordered was wrapped securely in bubble wrap to prevent damage. The size of the box also fit the size of the product, so it wasn't "tumbling" around and getting damaged.

This is the amazing thing that I bought. The Etude House [Mal:gəm] Fresh Toner. I've heard so many great things about this series of toners that I just had to try it out. It comes in this cute and stylish box. The design on the box is different depending on which toner you buy. The Fresh variant has these green drops/vines drawn on it. Instructions and other important stuff are written on the sides in both Korean and English.

Now, onto the product itself. The flask is just as cute as the packaging. The flask is made of sturdy, hard plastic so you can't "squeeze" the toner out. However, it is easy to dose in the right amount because of the screw cap. It also makes it safer for traveling.

The toner is easy to apply and my skin doesn't feel as dry as with my other toners. My skin is instantly smooth and soft to the touch. It also makes my complexion a little brighter and doesn't make my skin itchy and/or red. Since it's the Fresh variant, it's supposed to control oily skin. My skin is extremely greasy on my nose and forehead. The toner doesn't get rid of the ALL the grease, but it certainly made a big difference. My T-zone is not as shiny as before and my glasses doesn't glide off my nose that often anymore.

The smell is so nice too, like fresh flowers but not too perfumed either.

In general the effects are amazing. You can use it every morning and/or evening with your with a facial cream. You can also add some during the day for a quick skin boost!

I was also sent these small samples. The Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint (PNK001), Lioele Dollish Veil Vita BB Cream and Lioele Dollish Cera-V CC Cream. I really love Etude House and Lioele and I really look forward to try them out.

To sum it up, jolse.com had fast and excellent service. My package arrived safely and incredibly fast. Samples were also included.

The toner was amazing and helped with controlling excess sebum and made my skin smoother and clearer. I recommend using this toner once a day for the best results.
