Review: The Face Shop "Happy Chu Lip"

Rating:  8  out of 10

Color: PK105

Me: I love multi-tasking products! I really like the moisturizing aspect of this and the wash of color it gives. Its perfect to carry it around and just apply on because it's moisturizing, yet it still gives you a pretty wash of color! I personally love this because of the color, its a great pink and makes my lips look very plump!

Repurchase: Yes, in a different color! (I think the red would be very pretty!)

How-to: Just put this on top of your bare lips for a slight pink milky color!

Price: $8; not too bad, but more on the pricey side just for like a tinted lip balm. However, it does last quite a while, so that's good!

Quality: This definitely has the concept of a colored lip butter. Its texture is like a lip balm, but it also does give a decent about of color! It's quite moisturizing actually, but it doesn't leave your lips super nourished and hydrated. The color is very nice because it's a slight tint, yet buildable, and it jazzes up your lip color just slightly. **The only downside to this particular color is that it shows the lines and how chapped your lips are! It's probably because it's a 'milky' color... :(

Smell: I quite like the smell! It has this kinda sweet-floral-fruity smell to it, and I really really like the smell! You can't smell it once you put it on though!

Texture: This is quite moisturizing, it's almost like a lip balm, however its not super balmy or anything. Although it stays on your lips, and keeps them hydrated, once it wears off, your lips don't stay very moisturized like a lip balm would do.

Packaging: The packaging is quite nice! Small, easy to carry around. The packaging is simple, yet very cute. Cute and practical.

I couldn't find a link to where you could purchase this online, but I bought mine at the actual Face Shop store, so maybe check yours if you have one around you! :)

Review: The Face Shop "E'thym O2 Water Aura Cream"

 Hello everyone! Woo, I'm on a roll with blogging now! Hopefully I can get a lot more done during the summer since there won't be school and such. Summer here is so hot, and all year round, it's pretty dry. I have combination skin, and it gets pretty dry in the winter, and this was definitely a life saver for me last winter. And for those around the other side of the globe, winter is approaching, so you might want to check this out.

The Face Shop has really opened up globally and I see it's stores all across America now, so that's a plus because you can easily get it around you now possibly!

Rating: 8.5 out of 10

Skin type: Any; not extremely oily skin, great for dry skin and normal skin.

Me: I have combination skin that gets dry in the winter, so I need something that will moisturize without making me oily. Even in the summer when my skin has one of those 'dry' days, this feels extremely nice after popping it in the fridge... sooo refreshing. And I love how this is a very natural product, so you know your skin is getting good stuff.

Repurchase: Yes! I would definitely repurchase this when I run out.

How-to: After washing your face, applying toner, and apply this on. A LITTLE BIT GOES A LONG WAY! ***I would recommend this as a night moisturizer, but if you have dry skin, daytime would be fine too!

Price: I don't remember the price, sorry! But I believed it was around $20-30 or so, maybe more on the pricey side of things I think... But if you think about it, you really only use a little bit, so this could last you for quite a while!

Quality: It's a really great moisturizer cause immediately you can feel how plump and moisturized your skin is, and your skin feels fresh and not heavy at all. However, for oilier skin, you have to be careful, cause it can make you look oilier if you use too much.

Smell: It smells very fresh. It reminds me of water... even though water doesn't have a smell, but it just reminds me of something very fresh and light.

Texture: It feels like a VERY THICK cream (yet 'watery'), and you think it's gonna make you oily and clog your pores, but it really doesn't. Since being a thick cream, you only need the tiniest bit for your whole face, and once applied, it feels great. Your skin feels very plump, moisturized, and fresh. It definitely seals in all the moisture of your skin without it feeling heavy.

Packaging: The packaging is a thick glass jar. Not the most sanitary, but I really love the design of the jar and the mint color. The cap actually 'snaps' when twisted, so you know it's completely sealed.

Amount: 60 ml. / 2.02 fl. oz.

Haul: TheFaceShop and Etude House

I'm excited! I will have my Skinfood one after this, so don't sweat! Ah... My first products from Etude House! I repurchased the full-size Cleansing Wipes because they are amazing!! They even gave me two samples of the 'Hydra Splash BB Cream', hm... I'm excited to try them out! Etude House things are just so cute, so I decided to give their products a shot! Let's get on with the haul descriptions!

Herb Day Cleansing Wipes

"Saturated in the herbal cleansing complex formulated with Botanic extracts and Rosemary extract that purifies the skin, these convenient facial cleansing wipes purify the skin while cleansing it gently"

"Directions: Gently wipe face in light sweeping motion."
70 sheets
I absolutely love these wipes! They are the best wipes I have ever used! These are a little more expensive than your regular wipes. What I do with them is that I cut them in half since I really only use them to clean makeup off when I do wear makeup, or to gently cleanse my face during the day if I'm outside doing activities. Plus, cutting them in half would save a lot of money and it's so hard to get them, so it's precious!

Yogurt Peel Cleansing Foam-Super Berry Mix
"Cleansing foam contains yogurt and fine granules to gently exfoliate, moisturize and tighten complexion. Berry Mix consists of Raspberry & Pomegranate extracts."
"Directions: Wet face and dispense small amount onto hands. Lather and apply foam to face, gently massaging entire area. Wash and rinse thoroughly with warm water."
150 ml.
I'm still so confused if this is a cleanser or an exfoliater! I got this because I have heard some raves about it, but I'm so confused still. I'm not going to use it just yet because my goal is to use some of my products before opening new ones. So this will probably take a long time before a review, sorry ^_^
Aqua Sherbet Lotion
"Aqua Sherbet contains mineral rich glacial water from Alaska and vitamin rich grapefruit water to supply the skin cooling complexion care. Lotion replenishes and restores moisture balance to complexion."
"Directions: Following serum application, use hands to apply lotion to all areas of face and neck."
150 ml.
I was really debating on whether to get this or not, but now I did! I can't wait to use it, hopefully it's going to be a moisturizer. I'm still confused, a moisturizer or a light lotion...
Let's see now!

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)
