DAY ROUTINE
 |
| Tony Moly The Chok Chok Green Tea Cleansing Water |
Removing makeup and skin impurities
is an everyday routine for all and what’s better than cleansing water that
hydrates the skin. Tony Moly Chok Chok Green Tea come in a clear bottle of
300ml and contains 100% green tea ferment extract, lemon seed oil and rosewood
oil. With such ingredients is definitely does it its job of cleansing my skin
without stripping of its natural oil. I was never a fan of oil based makeup
remover, as it feels oily after using it, so I kinda like this water based Tony
Moly Chok Chok cleansing water. Just dispense a decent amount onto cotton pad
and gently wipe over face and skin and taa daa, face is free from makeup and
impurities. After removing your makeup, do cleanse with a cleanser to maintain
healthy glowing skin.

Real Skin Healthy Vinegar Skin Toner
– Makgeoli
Real Skin is a Korean brand
that has been quite a hit. The range is of toners are light weight with a
gentle formula, this range of toner is packed with more than 60 organic acids,
minerals and vitamins from fermented natural ingredients. With a acidity of
pH5.5 this toner helps to tighten pores and exfoliates skin leaving you with
clear healthy skin. Great for S.O.S.
This comes in a 300ml simple yet classy packaging which am very fond off. I
can’t wait to have the whole series
(There are 12 types of Healthy Vinegar Skin Toner all together ) lined
up in my dresser. I will be reviewing
the Makgeoli, which is made of fermented rice and contains Kojic Acid which
helps in brightening and clarifying the skin. It doesn’t smell like vinegar
like the bottle says, instead it smells citrusy. Check out Althea.Kr for the
full range.

Sweet Pudding Tone Up Cream by ETUDE HOUSE
|
Sweet
Pudding Tone Up Cream, does it smell like pudding was my first question. LOL. Sweet Pudding Creams is from Etude House. Etude House has really pretty
packaging. I am using all of Etude Play 101 series and is still very much in
love with them. This tone up cream comes
in a lovely white jar of 50ml and labelled with simple words. It also comes
with a scoop which is a plus, hygiene is very important when it comes to
skincare. I love the packaging, very minimalist.
The Sweet Pudding Tone Up Cream has a velvety texture and it works to eliminate
excess oils from our skin. It also has brightening properties, where I felt
that it instantly brightens up my skin creating a flawless finish. Great for no makeup day! With skin soothing properties like chia seeds
extract, Asiatic pennywort extract and eoseongcho extract and purifying
properties neem leaf, neem flower and lime extract this Sweet Pudding Tone Up
Cream leaves my skin feeling moisturized.

Hanyul
Pure Artemisia Watery Calming Sheet Mask
|
This Hanyul Mask has a normal packaging that will not catch my eye, and I have not
even heard of this brand before *ok maybe I outdated a bit la The mask sheet is
made of cotton fiber and wraps nicely on my face. This mask contains Ganghwa
Baby Mugwort water, I don’t really know what that is but it is said that it
soothes skin. My skin feels smooth and supple after the use of the Hanyul Mask.
I am not a fan of paper mask as I prefer gel based mask, but overall this was
ok. I have read some other reviews on the Hanyul Artemisia Line, and they’ve
got quite good reviews from people all over.

| Mamonde AC Balance Spot Patch |
A
spot patch is a transparent film type spot patch that calms areas of concern on the skin,
like acne or pimple. The patches contains ingredients like salicylic acid and
willow herb which aids in calming the concern areas of the skin. The Mamonde
Spot patch is natural transparent so it is less visible. I actually have a
patch stuck under my chin as I am typing this, it covers up the redness and I
have pimple that is going to make an appearance soon that is why I put the
patch on. Mamonde AC Spot Patch comes in
12 pcs of patches. This is going to be my must have in my travels, having a zit
during travels is just depressing.

| Innisfree Real Peppermint Mask |
 |
| Green Goodness |
 |
| too scary? |
This is a clay mask that is supposed
to calm your skin. Peppermint itself soothing
and healing properties. The Innisfree Real Peppermint Mask hydrates the skin for a soothing finish and also helps to control excess sebum
production.The Innisfree Real Peppermint mask comes in a jar of 100 ml and comes
with a spatula. The texture of the mask is very smooth to me, and it's pretty
easy to apply on skin. It doesn’t pull the skin like most clay mask do. I can see tiny traces of mint leaves which I
like. No doubt, it smells like a jar of mint leaves, that is sure to calm your
senses. Mint Leaves are green in colour and so is this mask. Lol. After
application I felt that I look like Jim Carrey from The Mask. You wanna see it then you have to scroll till the end. Hubs actually ask me, 'Wah, You scared till face turn green ah?" LOL. After
applying to your face leave it on for 10-15 minutes (it will dry up) and rinse.
Follow with a cooling gel (below). The Innisfree Real Peppermint Mask is very
moisturizing and doesn’t dry out my skin. I would highly recommend this
especially for times of SOS.

Like they say an apple a day keeps the doctor away. This is a moist cooling gel
that actually contains 90% fresh apple extract so its perfect for hydrating
skin. It feels refreshingly cool on my skin after application and it is very
light in weight so its easy to apply . I find that the SKinfood Fresh Apple
Cooling Gel reduces my skin redness. You can also use this on your body, as a
body lotion. Mix it with oil to use it on hair and or massage oil. One bottle;
so many uses. This is definitely going
into my must-have list.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Baby Mugwort water, I don’t really know what that is but it is said that it

I am not a fan of paper mask as I prefer gel based mask, but overall this was
ok. I have read some other reviews on the Hanyul Artemisia Line, and they’ve
got quite good reviews from people all over. I might give it a go one day.

| Pure Smile Choosy Lip Pack – White Pearl & Purple Pearl |
This is my first time using a Lip Mask, thinking of I
never did really looked after my lips. Oops. Pure Smile Lip Pack comes in
variety of different lines and flavours and the one that I have to review is
from the Pearl Line which is the White Pearl and Purple Pearl. This Lip Pack
contains Vitamin Collagen & Hyaluronic Acid
to combat dry/chapped lips. I do no really have dry lips problem, but this lip
pack has defiantly soften them even more. LOL. It’s pretty simple to use, after
cleaning and drying the lips (after a lip scrub) I place the mask and leave
them for around 20mins and my lips comes out so moist and pumped, just after 1
use. The mask feels like gelatine, and when I place it over my lips I actually
find it funny, but anyhow I do not have the habit of looking after my
lips. For those who have dry lips, you
can try this lip mask.
