THOUGHTS

October 25th, 2018: Formula is definitely nowhere near as good as the super cute packaging. It wasn't horrible (i.e. it didn't leave my hair feeling the way it did after using Drybar), but it's still not good. If I'm gonna invest the time and effort into doing a hair mask, I want it to leave me with the most luxuriously soft silky smooth shiny hair and this did not do that for me...not even close.

In fact my hair was somehow left a lot frizzier and crazy looking than normal. I did notice that there are a bunch of different alcohols listed in the ingredient list...don't know if that had anything to do with it, but this definitely wasn't that hydrating, which is probably why my hair was so frizzy and crazy looking. Also, my hair did not feel nourished either so none of the claims it makes are true in my opinion.

Still not as bad as the Drybar disaster: https://ahnspired.blogspot.com/2018/09/drybar-hair.html (although that was a shampoo and conditioner and this is a hair mask), so I'm not gonna say it's terrible, but it really is not that great. You know what it is...it's subpar. That's the perfect word to describe this. This is subpar. It's not terrible, but it's subpar. Which is a shame because I like the idea of it...the concept and like I said it's got super cute packaging and it does smell really good. It smells just like this Korean Banana snack I had as a child. It's got that fake sweet banana scent that Korean snacks have.

Anywho, would I repurchase this? I'm sure you guessed it, but no. No I would not. In fact I'm not even gonna bother using up the rest of this bottle, but since the packaging is so cute though, I may just empty it and rinse it out and fill it with a conditioner I like.

Deoproce Power Curling Mascara

https://www.beauteque.com/deoproce-power-curling-mascara/

Size: 10 ml

Delivers the results of long and curled lashes.

The curved shape of the brush can reach the tiniest of lashes.

Lengthens all lashes including the smallest ones.

THOUGHTS

September 20th, 2018: I know hate is a strong word, but oh my god I hate this mascara. This has a super liquid-y wet formula that gets EVERYWHERE. I've never had such a messy mascara application in my life. Not only did it get ALL over my eyelids, it even transferred onto my lower lashes and coated them in mascara every time I blinked in addition to smudging all over my lower lash line...which wasn't even the worst part.

The worst thing about this mascara is that it turns your eyelashes into velcro...very weak worn velcro that isn't strong enough to rip your lashes from your eyelid, but nonetheless there was enough stick that every time I blinked my eyes my upper and lower lashes would stick and "velcro" together before separating again when I opened my eyes and therefore I could feel my lashes every single time I blinked, which was crazy annoying...and I mean CRAZY ANNOYING...and it remained that way. That velcro feeling did not go away with time, so yeah...I ended up just having to take if off after an hour or so because I just couldn't take it anymore...so this is a definite pass in my book.

Oh and also, aside from the debacle mentioned above, this doesn't even do anything for the lashes. It maybe lengthens the teeny tiniest bit, but other than that nothing. No volume, which yeah it doesn't claim to be volumizing, but definitely no curling either, which this is called the power curling mascara, but nope...there was no power curling. Not even a regular curling. My lashes fell so limp.

I hate to be so negative, especially without mentioning at least one positive, but I honestly cannot find one redeeming quality about this product...the application process sucks, it does nothing for my lashes, it bothers and annoys me after application and it doesn't even have cute packaging. This was just an all around dud and disappointment for me...although perhaps I actually did get a dud? The picture of this product (as seen above) shows a curved mascara wand, but mine wasn't curved at all. It had an ever so slightly, and I mean slightly...like maybe a 2 degree slant, not curve but slant, to the wand...like I had accidentally bent it. I mean does this look curved to you?

So maybe it's possible my entire tube is just a dud product? This is me trying to not be such a hater and try and find some type of positive, but at any rate that was my experience with this mascara and if you couldn't tell by now, I do not recommend giving this a go.

VERDICT

July 10th, 2018: OMG, I LOVE this stuff. This has quickly become a must have product for me and I actually like it even better than the La'dor: https://ahnspired.blogspot.com/2016/04/lador.html and Project Beauty: https://ahnspired.blogspot.com/2016/12/project-beauty-haircare.html conditioners...because it lets me be "lazy".

I hate having to spend more time than I need to in the shower, so I LOVE leave in conditioners vs. traditional conditioners that are used in the shower. I'm definitely not much of a take my time and enjoy my shower/bath type of person. I like the idea of it, but in reality all my bubble baths and bath salts and bath bombs just sit there being unused. I'm definitely more of an I shower because I have to to stay clean and want to be in and out as quick as I can type of person, but I digress.

This is referred to as an essence and it says to only apply it to "damaged" areas, but I just use this stuff liberally all over my head as a leave in conditioner and it's totally fine because it's super lightweight...it doesn't weigh down my hair whatsoever, which is awesome and a big part of why I love it so much. I have very fine hair, so often times hair products will weigh it down and/or make my hair look greasy and not that great quickly, so I appreciate the fact that this is so lightweight whilst still giving me all the hydration and moisture that my hair needs.

Not only that, but this super lightweight gel-like cream also leaves my hair feeling super soft and smooth and shiny and healthy looking, so it's a winner all around. It's even got a ton of product in the tube so it lasts for a really long time as well, although if I really really wanted to nit pick...I would appreciate some super cute packaging, but that's only if I were being super nit picky since the packaging isn't ugly or terrible or anything. However, I did just notice that it lists mineral oil in the ingredients and I often hear about how it's not great to have mineral oil in products, so if you are ingredient conscious, FYI...oh, and it also contains ethanol (aka alcohol) as well, so that would be one negative...it's got a couple not so great ingredients in it's formula.

If you don't mind the mineral oil and alcohol though, this definitely gets my stamp of approval and I recommend giving it a try...especially if you're someone like me who has very fine hair and are looking for something that works beautifully without weighing your hair down.

On: The Body Cherry Blossom Nourishing Body Lotion

https://www.yamibuy.com/item/3025017421

Size: 400 ml

This body lotion leaves your skin smooth and fully hydrated. The premium moisturizing agents found in cherry blossoms. It evokes the romantic atmosphere of France.

HOW TO USE

After showering, Wipe off the water and apply evenly to the whole body as you massage.

Tip: Do not use if you have eczema or dermatitis.

INGREDIENTS

Water, Glycerin, Triethanol, Hexanol Searly Alcohol Cetylelohexanoate, Butter Glyceryl, Grape Oil, Lemon Balm Petal, Stem Water Alpine Plex Flower, leaf Extract, Kendra Flower Petal, Ridge Seed Oil, Rosemary Leaf Camomile Oil, Lavender Oil, Leaf Extract, Sweet Almond Oil, Cyclohexasiloxane, Carbomer, Triethanolamine, Ethylhexylglycerin, Disodium EDTA, Propylparaben, Methylparaben, Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance

VERDICT

July 3rd, 2018: I love this body lotion...which is rare. I normally hate using body lotions because I hate that lotion-y feeling, but this one is super lightweight and just sinks right into the skin beautifully and completely, which is why I love it so much. It doesn't feel like you're wearing lotion. There's none of that heaviness or greasiness or oiliness...it doesn't feel like I have anything on my skin, which is exactly how I like my skincare.

Despite being super lightweight though, this is still super moisturizing and it leaves you with beautifully soft, smooth and supple skin. It does have a floral-y perfume like scent, which I don't normally like, but I didn't mind the scent of this one. Would I prefer it not be there? Sure, but it's not a dealbreaker...and while it is noticeable it isn't overpowering and I can't smell it unless I'm holding it up near my nose, so I don't smell it once it's on the body. Also, it's got really pretty packaging, which is always a plus.

This has definitely become my go to body lotion, but I must point out this does contain parabens and fragrance. I'm not an expert when it comes to skincare ingredients, but I know those are things that people can be weary of so, FYI.

Etude House Calming Cheek Patch

https://amzn.to/2XPGVqW
***As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.***

Size: 4 g x 2 sheets

Textured cheek patches have a creamy under layer to soothe and moisturize dry, irritated skin. Offers deep hydration and nutrients to your cheeks.

Hydrogel sheets: Deep-Moisturizing. Brightening. Firming. Skin Calming.

HOW TO USE

1. After washing your face, apply the patches for 20 minutes.

2. Remove the patches and dab the remaining essence until absorbed by skin.

THOUGHTS
JUNE 24th, 2018: These were super cute and fun to wear, but was it anything amazing? No, but it did reduce the redness on my cheeks and provide the area with some hydration, although I don't know that I agree with the "offers deep hydration" phrase, but it did provide some hydration and was soothing.

If you're getting these to just use at home, then I don't think it's worth it. You could get an actual full sized sheet mask that performs better for the same price point, but these would be great for spot masking on the go. They're so much more convenient and unobtrusive compared to a full sheet mask, so these would be great to use on a plane, in the car perhaps or if you are camping or have been hiking or out and about in the sun and could use some calming soothing hydration you could slap these on. Plus, should anyone see you with them on out in public they are super cute and adorable.

Depending on how you plan to use it will determine whether it's worth it or not. If I'm home and looking to do a masking session, I would rather just use a full sheet mask on my entire face so it's a pass...but if you're someone that's constantly on the go and would like to have something on hand to spot mask then go for it.

THOUGHTS

June 12th, 2018: OMG I LOVE THESE! These are not only super adorable, BUT they are effective and super comfortable to wear...well it's made of a comfortable material. These are soft and flexible, so they feel great on the skin and easily flex to fit the contours of your face...but the fit was a bit small. At least for me. The one and only pitfall, in my opinion, of this product, although I do seem to have a bigger than average sized head in comparison to most Koreans.

In Korea having a small face is a beauty standard. Telling someone they have a very small face is actually a compliment. Me...I do not have a small face/head. I don't think it's overly large by any means, but it definitely isn't Korean/Asian small, so the fit of this was a bit tight for me. The loops where you hook it over your ears...I wish it was just a little bit longer. Although the other eye masks that I've tried, which are also Korean/Asian fit me fine.

Anywho, I could still get it on and wear it, but it was a bit tight...so I tried stretching out the ear strap, but ended up tearing one of them completely, so if you have an larger sized head like me then you'll probably encounter the same issue. If you have a standard small asian sized head then it probably won't be a problem, but enough about head sizes...on to the other stuff.

This has a strong lavender scent, which is supposed to be relaxing. I'm someone that is generally sensitive to scents, but I didn't find it to be bothersome. Did I find it to be relaxing though? I don't know...I mean I was relaxed of course in general from the whole eye masking session...laying in bed in my comfy pj's with some music going in the background and using the actual eye mask, but I think that had more to do with the whole process and the fact that I was relaxing and not because the lavender scent calmed me down and made me relax...I don't know that I fully believe in aromatherapy, but if you do and it works for you then this does have a strong lavender scent.

Regardless, this does a great job of soothing and de-stressing my tired overworked eyes. I have extremely dry eyes (a symptom of my thyroid issues and the fact that I live in a dry desert climate), but on the days that I used this the night before, I feel like my contacts do feel more comfortable and for longer so it definitely seems to help address my dry eye situation. Before I would have to take out my contacts and switch to my glasses at the end of the day, but when I use these I can actually keep my contacts in all the way up until I go to bed. Now, it doesn't completely cure and get rid of my dry eyes, but I feel like it does help make them less dry than normal and better.

Overall the effects of this in comparison to the other eye masks that I've tried are pretty much spot on, but in terms of the texture and the fabric composition, the material that it's made of, that's where these eye masks differ and these are a nice compromise between the SNP Warming eye masks: https://ahnspired.blogspot.com/2016/01/snp.html and the Kao Megurhythm eye masks: https://ahnspired.blogspot.com/2017/01/kao-eye-mask.html.

These Etude House eye masks are soft and flexible, but not as soft and flexible as the Kao eye mask...BUT it is still super cute like the SNP masks...if not more, in my opinion, so if you don't mind sacrificing a little bit of comfort then you will definitely love this one the best out of the three. However, if you don't care about how cute the eye mask is and all you want is ultimate comfort then I would stick with the Kao Megurhythm eye masks. While these are still nice and comfortable, and definitely loads more comfortable than the stiffer SNP eye masks, they are still not quite as comfortable as the Kao eye masks.

Etude House Bubble Pore Cleansing Patch
Ebay: https://go.magik.ly/ml/bziz/
https://kollectionk.com/collections/etude-house/products/etude-bubble-pore-cleansing-patch?lshst=collection

The wash-off type Bubble Pore Cleansing Patch cleanses impurities, and the pore astringent effect of Grapefruit Carbonated Water™ Bubble tightens pores on the butterfly zone characterized by excessive sebum secretion.

Pore-tightening. Pore-cleansing. Pore-minimizing. Bubble therapy. Fresh grapefruit scents.

HOW TO USE

1. After washing the face, open the product and closely attach the patch on towel-dried face while aligning it with the nose and cheek. (The solution may settle, so rub the surface of the product in a circular motion to mix the content well before use.)

2. After 10 minutes when carbon bubbles are generated, remove the patch.

3. Gently massage the remaining residue on skin, and then wash off with lukewarm water.

*When Grapefruit Carbonated Water™ rises, your skin may get red or burn, but they are normal reactions to the massage effect of bubble.

THOUGHTS

February 3rd, 2017: I got an unexpected and un-welcomed visitor on the side of my nose this evening, so I decided to whip this baby out and give it a go.

This carbonated bubble mask, meant to target the butterfly area (nose and cheeks), was made of a super soft and plushy Bamboo fiber that felt really nice on the face and smelled really nice too...it had a sweet citrusy scent, probably due to the grapefruit in it. I wish it would've been a bit bigger to cover a little bit more of my nose and especially the rest of my cheeks, but it was an adequate size for what it was. As for the adherence, it didn't feel the most secure on my nose, so I tried to sit still as much as possible and that did the trick as it didn't slide down at all.

As is usual with most carbonated bubble packs, this too felt ticklish as the bubbles formed but it wasn't too bad. The packaging notes that as the Grapefruit Carbonated Water bubbles up the skin may get red or burn, but I personally didn't experience either of those things, thankfully. It was just a bit ticklish and that was it. Also, it starts to bubble up very quickly, so sadly you only get to have a cute cat face for a few seconds before the design starts to get enveloped by all the bubbles.

After all was said and done, my un-welcomed visitor was on it's way out so I was happy...it hadn't cleared out completely, but it was a lot better. It was less red, less painful, and flatter so it did seem to be effective in helping to clear out the pores. As far as the pore tightening, it did "shrink" them some, but I've tried more effective pore shrinkers.

While I love the packaging and it is effective in helping to clear out the pores, I don't know that I would repurchase this. I find it rather expensive for something that cleans such a small and targeted area. Perhaps if you have dry skin and only have sebum and oil issues in the nose area, then you might want to go this route with the targeted nose patches, but for me I would rather use one that covers a lot more real estate. Usually they don't make full sized bubble masks that cover the entire face, but they do make them to cover the lower half for around the same price, so I will stick with those. The one I really like is the Berrisom Oops Soda Bubble Mask: https://ahnspired.blogspot.com/2016/11/berrisom-skincare.html, which is awesome.

Etude House Repair Lip Balm - Honey Cera

***As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.***

Size: 0.14 oz
Honey Cera Repair Lip Balm is with a moist texture that glides lightly onto lips with a smooth and moist finish.

HOW TO USE
Glide lightly to lips.

INGREDIENTS
Petrolatum, Phytosteryl/Isostearyl/Cetyl/Stearyl/Behenyl Dimer Dilinoleate, Diisostearyl, Malate, Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Diisopropyl Dimer Dilinoleate, Macadamia Seed Oil, Polyglyceryl-6 Esters Behenate, VP/Hexadecene Copolymer, Synthetic Beeswax, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil, Euphorbia Cerifera Wax, Polyethylene, Ozokerite, Butyrospermum Parkii Shea Butter, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Astrocaryum Murumuru Seed Butter, Synthetic Wax, Tocopheryl Acetate, Fragrance, Ethylene/Propylene Copolymer, Caprylyl Glycol, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, Hexylene Glycol, Glycerin, Honey, Ceramide 3, Polyglyceryl-2 Triisostearate, Phenoxyethanol, Iron

THOUGHTS

January 25th, 2017: Umm...its good. It's good and it does do its job very well, but I, me personally, am not a fan.

Once you get past the first top most layer, which is a little dry and waxy feeling (like hard wax feeling) or maybe stiff would be a better description, but once you get past that it does get slippery smooth and glides on the lips really nicely. It smells like real honey and feels like it too...so much so that I thought it would also taste like honey, but it doesn't. It doesn't really have any taste to it at all actually.

Anywho, it is hydrating and nourishing and does do a great job of keeping my lips nicely hydrated and smooth, but I don't like how it feels on my lips. It's not sticky or heavy or anything like that, but I do notice it on my lips and I am not a fan of products that I can feel on my skin...I don't like feeling my skincare. When I'm wearing this lip balm though I can tell I'm wearing this lip balm. If you were to do a blind test on me of random lip balms, I would totally be able to pick this out and tell which one this was.

Like I said, it's not heavy. In fact it is lightweight, but it doesn't FEEL lightweight...which probably doesn't make any sense and you're probably thinking what the heck is she talking about, but it's true. How to explain...you know what it is? It's not that it's heavy, but I can still feel it because it creates a barrier on my lips and is very emollient. Looking at the ingredient list I see that there's also petrolatum in this product in addition to the honey, so I think those two ingredients are what is responsible for creating that barrier on my lips and making them feel very emollient...which I personally rarely like products that are very emollient. It does happen, but not very often. On the flip side though because it is emollient and creates that barrier, once you slather this baby on it does last a long time on the lips.

That being said, it doesn't drive me bonkers to the point where I can't stand it and I don't want to be wasteful and it is very good performance wise, so I will still use this up...I'll probably just stick to applying this before bed so that I can't feel it while I'm asleep, but I have no plans to repurchase this. However, as long as you don't mind emollient feeling products I would say go for it and give it a try because if it weren't for the fact that it was emollient feeling, I would have no problems with this lip balm and actually really like it....although it is a pricier lip balm. I got mine for $8.99, whereas I can get a chapstick from the drugstore for $3.99 or less, but then again this has honey and ceramides in it so it's supposed to be really great for the lips and provide lip care benefits aside from just hydrating the lips, so yeah. If you don't mind emollient products then go for it, otherwise you can sit this one out.

Etude House I Need You Wash Off Yogurt Mask - Strawberry

Size: 1 oz

Etude House's "I Need You, Yogurt!" facial massage pack is a wash-off cream infused with fruit and yogurt extracts that nourish and replenish thirsty skin. Packed with antioxidants and intense cleansing properties, the strawberry yogurt brightens the skin.

HOW TO USE

After cleansing and prior to toner application, massage yogurt into face. Avoid contact with eyes and mouth. Leave on for 10 minutes, then rinse off with warm water.

INGREDIENTS

Water, Butylene Glycol, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Hydrogenated Poly (C6-14 Olefin), Glycerin, Sucrose Palmitate, Polyacrylate-13, Phenoxyethanol, Glyceryl Stearate, Polyisobutene, Xanthan Gum, Chlorphenesin, Fragrance, Yogurt Powder, Ethylhexylglycerin, Polysorbate 20, Mannan, Glyceryl Stearate Citrate, Sucrose, Disodium EDTA, Caprylyl Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Fruit Extract, Yellow 6 (CI 15985), Yellow 5 (CI 19140), Tropolone

THOUGHTS

OMG this looks, feels, and smells just like strawberry yogurt. If I didn't know any better I would have thought I was slathering some actual strawberry yogurt on my face. Also, it smelled so delicious it was giving me some serious strawberry yogurt cravings...and I was really tempted to give it a taste...but I didn't.

Yummy delicious scent and aesthetics aside, this actually performs as well. It left my face hydrated, smooth, and nourished and the biggest thing that made me a fan is that it took my struggling not so great skin (it's still recovering from a really bad reaction to a sheet mask) and made it look a lot healthier and bright.

Another plus is that these are packaged in awesome little sturdy capsules so they would be great for travel as well. I will most definitely be repurchasing some more of these to have on hand. I only got the strawberry "flavor" to try this time around, but I know they do have 3 other flavors so I will definitely have to try them out as well.

Etude House Cat Headband

https://amzn.to/2XP5X9O
***As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.***

Size: One Size

The cutest cat headband you can wear while washing your face. Forget about those fly aways and push all of your hair up and out of your face as you cleanse away!

HOW TO USE

Put over head and pull up to the top of the head so it sits at the top.

THOUGHTS

So adorable and so cute, but sadly a little bit too small for my large head. It fits, but its a bit too tight for my liking...also, I seem to have a flat head so it keeps crawling up the back of my head and won't stay in place. Not the products fault, but if you're someone that also has a flat back of the head then you'll probably run into the same issue.

Etude House Wonder Pore Freshner

https://amzn.to/32vgWE0
***As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.***

Size: 500ml
This is a 10-in-1 toner which offers a total skincare solution for the pores. The Wonder Pore Freshner balances the skin’s PH levels while also improving the skin’s immunity against damage. It prevents pimples, dark spots and wrinkles from appearing while also minimizing the appearance of visibly enlarged pores. With its amazing formula, this toner deeply cleanses deep-seated dirt and fills the pores with nutrients coming from natural herb extracts.

HOW TO USE

Dispense an appropriate amount of the toner in a clean cotton pad and spread all over the face using outward motions. Afterwards, warm palms by rubbing them together and wrap hands around the face to allow better absorption.

INGREDIENTS

Water, Alcohol, Butylene Glycol, Betaine, Mentha Arvensis Extract, Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit/ Leaf Extract, Saccharum Officinarum (Sugar Cane) Extract, Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract, Cham- Aecyparis Obtusa Water, Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract, Acer Saccharum (Sugar Maple) Extract, Gentiana Lu- Tea Root Extract, Artemisia Absinthium Extract, Arnica Montana Flower Extract, Achillea Millefolium Extract, Glycereth-26, Glycerin, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Acetic Acid, Disodium Edta, Phenoxyethanol

THOUGHTS

Nice toner. No way to tell if it actually balances the pH level of my skin, but it leaves my skin feeling nice, cool and fresh. This does contain alcohol, but it doesn't irritate my skin at all and it doesn't strip my skin either. It's still nice and hydrated. Not a product that knocks my socks off, but it's still a great solid product. This would be a great starter toner for someone new to Korean skincare or just skincare in general to dip their toe in. I will definitely use it up, but I don't see myself repurchasing this again in the future.
