Etude House Happy Essential Foam Hyaluronic Acid Cleansing Foam

I am in love with this foaming cleanser from ETUDE HOUSE Happy Essential Foam Hyaluronic Acid. I am always looking for moisturizing products to keep my skin hydrated but this cleanser got me curious especially when it says 40% added moisture because of Hyaluronic Acid.

Hyaluronic Acid is an acid that occurs naturally in the skin and holds many times more moisture than the Collagen protein molecule. Its bind and retain essential moisture in the skin layers and reduces the line caused by dehydration.

Happy Essential Foam Hyaluronic Acid Cleansing Foam [Php228]

Formulated with  40% polyol (Glycerine, Sorbitol, PEG-32) content to keep skin feeling moist and soft. With humectants properties, polyol moisturizes without irritation. This creamy cleansing foam gently removes impurities with rich lather, while Hyaluronic Acide promotes hydration. Skin is happy again, feeling clean, smooth and soft. 

ETUDE HOUSE's Happy Essential Foam has five selections to choose from: Collagen 40% (pink), Hyaluronic Acid 40% (blue), Vitamin C 40% (yellow), Witch Hazel 30% (brown), and White Clay 30% (gray). Each of them has its own specific function to keep your skin in healthy and moisturized.

• Collagen (pink) -- with marine collagen to promotes elasticity and firmness
• Hyaluronic Acid (blue) -- promotes hydration
• Vitamin C (yellow) -- promotes brightening
• Witch Hazel (brown) -- remove oil and residue
• White Clay (gray) -- oil control, remove oil and residues for cool clean sensation

The product comes in a 150ml flip-top easy-to-squeeze tube. Its texture is thick, smooth and creamy cleansing foam inside. It smells really good and very gentle on the skin once lathered. A pea-size amount is all it takes to wash off the dirt and sebum on one's face.

Even for an oily skin like me, I still prefer to use this because I like to keep that moisture as much as possible. After few washes, I've noticed a significant added hydration on my skin. I don't have those tool Koreans use to measure the amount of moisture percentage on skin but it made my skin look plump... and I LOVE it. I didn't experience any irritation or break-outs. Though I couldn't tell how tough it is to remove make-up.

I am really kind of curious the one in pink tube.

I would recommend this cleansing foam!

HOLIKA HOLIKA Baby Silky Foot One Shot Peeling AND Baby Silky Foot Mask Sheet

My feet needs a little pampering. I've been up on my toes a lot and I do feel my feet are calling out on me. This may sound gross to a lot of people though, but I wanted my feet to gently peel its way and bring out that soft and beautiful skin. Yes, shred the old skin! Just because summer is over, doesn't mean I had to neglect my feet. I bought two HOLIKA HOLIKA's Baby Silky Foot One Shot Peeling Foot Mask and one of their Baby Silk Foot Mask Sheet because I watched a review on Youtube and they say it works amazing! I had to give it a shot.

Water, Alcohol, Lactic Acid, Sodium Lactate, Glycolic Acid, Glycerin, Arginine, Phenoxyethanol, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Salicylic Acid, Fragrance, Disodium EDTA, Urea, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Leaf Extract, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Fruit Extract, Citrus Aurantifolia (Lime) Fruit Extract, Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Fruit Extract

A box contains one pair of big plastic multi-layered socks for your feet and two packets of feet peeling serum -- one for your left and right foot. Wear the plastic socks provided, pour the serum in each foot, securely tie, and let it soak for an hour and a half. Afterwards, wash it with water, then do your own thing as you wait for your skin to peel which takes about 4-7 days. I suggest sloshing the serum all throughout your feet, and not just your soles, to get your feet a complete make-over after the peeling process. It is a bit tricky walking around with these squishy socks on so make yourself comfortable while waiting; it felt like I am about to slide every walk I take. But that's just me. :)

Some people had their feet peeling by the 4th day, but in my experience, the peeling started on the 7th day; I can see it peel starting from my toes, then slowly my whole feet. That's just awesome! (Yes, it fascinates me!) I was even tempted to 'help' peel that skin away but I try not to. It doesn't even hurt at all; it gently peels away that rough and hard skin on one's feet. You will definitely shred around your house just to get you a heads up.

I would suggest using these whenever you feel like your feet are rough or something; not every month though.

...after your feet has been completely peeled, use a foot mask to give that new skin a wonderful essence to keep it soft and moisturized.

THE FACE SHOP Volcanic Clay Black Head Scrub Gel Oil

I couldn't help but notice the unsightly blackheads and whiteheads on my face. I always make sure I use a nose strip once a week to remove them and give my pores a breather after been clogged from the dirt and sebum. Luckily I found this item from THE FACE SHOP a year ago because I wanted to try something new aside from using nose strips.

THE FACE SHOP Volcanic Clay Black Head Scrub Gel Oil [$15]

The Face Shop New Zealand Volcanic Clay Black Head Gel Oil is a pore scrub gel oil specifically used to remove blackheads. It is an effective cleansing product that draws out black heads and removes dead skin cells with the use of micro scrub technology. The gel oil is made up of New Zealand volcanic clay and clove flower extracts which have a potent pore cleansing effect. This Black Head Gel Oil ensures effective yet non aggressive treatment to blackheads. 50 ml.

How to Use:

After cleansing and drying, dispense appropriate amount of the gel oil and apply onto the face and nose area with dense blackhead concentration. Gently massage into skin and rinse off with warm water.

The New Zealand Volcanic Clay Black Head Gel Oil comes in a 50ml tube. Gently massage the gel oil on areas on one's face to remove blackheads. It has a nice smell to it too. It has these micro scrubs that will help remove dead skin cells. It feels sticky after been applied.

I wasn't impressed by this product. I've been using this for the past few weeks to safely remove blackheads on my nose but I didn't see any significant results. First of, I have no idea how long should I massage this on my face. Though I do get the idea; to loosen the blackhead to get it easily removed down from the very pore! Few minutes have passed, and I was getting impatient. Perhaps my blackheads are really THAT stubborn?? LOL! After massaging the product (which feels like forever), --- I didn't do anything really. I let it sit there on my face hoping the gel oil would slightly heat up since it did read 'VOLCANIC CLAY' on the packaging... but it didn't happen either.

I still have a lot of product left... and I have no idea what to do with it. Maybe it'd still give it a try that maybe, just maybe, some miracle, it would work. I'll update you all if there are any progress. :)

I recommend their New Zealand Volcanic Clay Black Head Aloe Nose Strip! I love this product a lot. I should have bought a lot of these instead!
