Review: Etude House "Yogurt Peel Cleansing Foam: Super Berry Mix"

Exfoliater and cleansing foam? Awesome! This is like Origin's "Check and Balance" wash, but it's with fruits! It's a good face wash when my skin is just blah. Fruits are just a plus for me too!
Rating: 9 out of 10
Skin Type: All skin types
Me: I love this cleanser! It doesn't dry out my skin and it made my skin a lot better when it started to break out. It's a frothy face wash like the Origin's one just with little seeds that dissolves on to your skin when you clean your face. This yogurt cleansing foam has many varieties such as: nuts, fruits, and black food. I guess it just depends on your skin type and what you need for your skin.
Repurchase: Yes actually; I enjoyed this cleanser quite a bit.
How to: After wetting your face, apply a little bigger than pea-size amount to your fingers. Swirl and massage the cleanser all around your face, or until you don't feel the seeds anymore. Wash off with lukewarm water (splash with cold water if you want) and then continue with your daily routine!
Price: $17. Not a bad price I think! It's fruity and cute! A pretty good cleanser, but I want to try some other ones, so for now I'm not going to repurchase this.
Quality: Good facial cleanser! I wish there were more seeds in this thing! I have noticed that my skin does look a little brighter and has a sort of 'healthy' glow because of the fruit content. Exfoliating-wise; I didn't really notice any exfoliating going on, but if there is, it's like a super light daily one that keeps your skin from going dull.
Smell: It smells really mellow not stawberry-licious like I would have hoped! But that's okie I guess.
Texture: It's like a mousse texture, very frothy, creamy, and it lathers so well! (light pink color) The seeds aren't that hard, and they're soothing to your skin too!
Packaging: Cute pink packaging! Easy squeeze tube bottle.
Amount: 150 ml.

Haul: TheFaceShop

I also visited TheFaceShop. It's a Korean brand of cosmetics, but its quite expensive though. I think it's more of a high end brand endorsed by Song Hye Kyo and all... Anyways! It was nice to go in there and explore. I did decide to buy some things when I left. I bought a total of 5 things, and I even received a gift bag for putting makeup and brushes! I bought: Pure Water Facial Mist-Jeju Flower, Herb Day Cleansing Wipes, Quick & Clean Blemish Balm (BB Cream), and 2 Quick & Clean Mild Foam Wash. So let's do a quick over view of the products, shall we?

Pure Facial Mist-Jeju Flower
"Flowers from Jeju Island to soothe your skin: Formulated with the pristine waters and flower extracts of beautiful Jeju Island, this pure water facial mist helps soothe and calms inflamed skin."
"DIRECTIONS: Use daily, after washing face and whenever a burst of energizing refreshment is desired. Holding the bottle away from your face, close your eyes and mist from forehead to neck in a smooth sweeping motion and let dry. This pure water facial mist can be applied over make up or onto bare skin."
70 ml/2.36 fl. oz.

I actually bought this for my mom because she said she needed a facial spray in the morning to "energize" her skin and to awaken her. Well, hopefully she'll like this. It's a little small though and a little pricey. It comes in 3 different scents: Orange, Marine, and Flower. It smells really nice! A light floral refreshing smell that lingers without causing a headache. I might borrow it from my mom once in a while to test it out and I might do a review on it if I decide to. Hope she likes this!
Herb Day Cleansing Wipes
"Saturated in the herbal cleansing complex formulated with Botanic extracts and Rosemary extracts that purifies the skin, these convenient facial cleansing wipes purify the skin while cleansing it gently."
"DIRECTIONS: Gently wipe face in light sweeping motion, from the center of the face outward."
20 or 70 sheets

I've been meaning to get facial wipes for a long time. The previous ones that I had were too harsh for my skin, so it made me break out and all. Hopefully these will be gentle! They smell really refreshing, fresh, and with a touch of fresh herbs. I think this will be convenient to have everywhere I go when I sweat a lot, especially during the summer! I'll do a review on this once I've decided what to say about it.
Quick & Clean Blemish Balm (BB Cream)
"Formulated with our enhanced Quick'n Clear Complex and Malt extract, this oil-free protective moisturizer soothes the skin while providing natural coverage to hide flaws."
"DIRECTIONS: After your usual daily skincare routine, smooth a small amount over entire face."
35 ml/1.18 fl. oz.
So I bought this BB cream from the line "Quick & Clean"; the "(acne) trouble-minimizing line" from TheFaceShop. Hopefully this will be a good BB cream for my skin because I've tried some, but there's something about them that I didn't like. Hopefully this will be what I'm looking for. It has a really clean, nice, and zesty smell, so it's a plus that it doesn't smell like makeup. However, this does not have SPF... I guess that's for the oil-free part. I don't wear makeup, so it's rare that I'll use this. I usually where light makeup when there is a special occasion or something. Yay for au natural light makeup! I'll definitely be looking forward to using this.
Quick & Clean Mild Foam Wash
"This refreshing wash formulated with Tea Tree Oil, Lemon Oil, and Chamomile Extract gently washes away debris, makeup and excess sebum while comforting skin exhausted by the elements. Leaves skin feeling fresh and clean with the revitalizing fragrance of Tea Tree."
"DIRECTIONS: Mix a fair amount in palms with a little water and work into a rich later gently massage over face and rinse thoroughly."145 ml/4.9 fl. oz.

I have so many face washes already, but the lady said this was really good for acne. I'm not really crazy about the liquidy gel-like face washes because... well, I've never liked them. Hopefully this will changed my mind about them and cure my acne. It smells so refreshing.. kind of like citrus zest or something. I'll definitely be doing a review for this later.

I did get a free bag to put my stuff and brushes in! It's a really convenient bag with a big compartment to put make-up in, places to put your brush, not too big not too small, and a nice handle too!

Location: Just about anywhere in Vietnam. (In the big shopping malls)

Review: Aveeno "Clear Complexion" Daily Cleansing Pads


Rating: 8 out of 10
Skin Type: All Skin Types
Me: I really really love this! I usually don't get cleansing pads, but because I started going to the gym, this got really handy. Not only is it handy, but it's an awesome cleanser! It deep cleanses, but really gently, so it's not harsh to my skin. Really does cure my acne, but it sometimes leaves my skin feeling a little tight and dry.
How to: Wet your face, and take one of the pads (using the textured side), and gently cleanse your face in a circular motion. (You can feel the texture of pad on your skin.) While washing off the cleanser from the pad, use the other side of the pad (plain side) and gently go over your face again as your washing it off, and then thoroughly wash your face. After washing your face, apply your toner and moisturizer.
Price: $7 This may be a drugstore brand, but it's honestly one of the best cleansers I've used. Totally worth the buy.
Quality: Such a great cleanser at a low price! It's really something that I love at such a great price. It's a great quality, and it's gentle because of the natural ingredients.
Smell: It smells fresh, like a cucumber soapy smell. It's a refreshing smell that I really don't mind at all.
Texture: The pad has two textures, one side is just a normal plain one, and the other has more definition. The two textures are great. When I feel that my skin needs some extra help, I would use the textured side to exfoliate and deep cleanse. When my skin is tired, and sensitive, I would use the plain side of it. All you really do is rub the pad in circular motion on wet skin and it gets pretty soapy, and I like that; it feels like my skin is getting renewed.
Packaging: Hmm... I guess the container is a little bulky.. Wish it was smaller so it's more convenient, but then again the pads are pretty big as well.
Amount: 25 Self-Foaming, Dual-Textured Pads
