Review - Etude House Wonder Pore Freshner

Hello, folks! :D

Sorry that I didn't post last week :p
Well I don't have that much readers though >_<

Today's post is a review again, from the famous korean princessy look cosmetic brand, Etude House!
At first I was planning to do more review on Korean brands but ya well. Tee-hee.

So here's the pic.


This is one of the best seller from Etude House, which claims to sink pores' size. This one is the freshener, you can say the 'soft toner' of skincare.
It is actually my 3rd bottle already. Yes you don't read it wrong, THIRD, of 500ml size.
 The packaging is quite cute-classy for me, and it lists the 7in1 effect of the Wonder Pore line.


You can see at the back, which all in hangeul (if I'm not wrong) that one point that I don't like of korean because that way we can't really know about the products details. But I love how it says, I'm the Wonder Woman for your pore! <3



















The interesting point of this bottle is the pumper! Yes it comes from the pump, you see that white circle, it's where the freshener come out. You practically place your face cotton on the pump, and press it, and there you go~

The scent was not that much bother if you don't concentrating on smelling it. I just realized how strong the alcohol smell when I smell it specially to know what to write on this review :x

But to be honest I'm quite disappointed on this since I have use 2 bottles but no changing on my pores.. But it really helps to calm my skin when it's super dying dry.

So,
Design and packaging. 5 stars. It's great and it's not from glass so not that heavy.
Scent. 4 stars. The alcohol smell's kinda strong if you try to smell it from your face cotton
The pump is the point. 5 stars. I would like to reuse it for other toner in the future if I can. LOL.
Price. 4 stars. I got this around 180k back then. If on the official store of Etude House here in Indonesia, it's 418k on normal price.
Result. 2 stars. It doesn't do what it claims to me :(
The thing is, as this bottle run out, I won't buy this again since it's my third bottle. I wanna try something new! :D

So what do you think??

See you all soon!

With love,
Carol

Review - Canmake Shimmer Jelly Eyes in #4 Frozen Mint

Hello, folks! :D
Meet me again in my 2nd post by the day.

I have a lot of free time this week since my assignments are done and the house 3rd and 4th floor is being renovated so I stuck in my room, from morning till now. Don't worry I still eat and bath and all. Tee-hee.

Into the topic.
I'd wanted this eyeshadow from a looonnggg time back then. Because I really want a PINK gel/cream eyeshadow and the color is perfect.
When I'm in Japan I searched all around and I found it. In Yamato-Saidaiji Station, when we're on our way from Osaka to Ise. My sis said if it's available here, it MUST be available too in Tokyo. Make sense. So I didn't buy it.
Guess what? I WAS TOTALLY WRONG. The product is not sold in any Canmake stand I saw. I searched and searched and I found out that it's already DISCONTINUED.
Damn it Canmake, why don't you update your website and left me hanging here!
So fine, I left Japan and went back to Singapore. With hope that I will find one. In the end, I found it! But it's the 2nd shade that I wanted. But who cares, I grab it and pay.
Until now I still carving for pink gel/cream eyeshadow fyi. *sigh* Once I get it I'll switch to brown-colored contact lenses. Really.

About Canmake itself, the actual name is Canmake Tokyo. Which aimed for school girls (i read it somewhere) since its low-priced products.

So here's the thing! It's quite small or quite big? Very simple packaging, very unique for an eyeshadow.























This is the applicator or you can say the tip?


Look how unique it is for a jelly eyeshadow?! I'm lovin' it. It's looks exactly like lipgloss's tip, don't you think?




It's also very soft so it won't hurt your eyelid when you apply it.














The swatches. Unorderly applied and blended.
Seriously it's very pigmented. just my camera can't catch it by the lightning ;_;


And also, it claims to be waterproof. Yes. waterproof. Let's see, shall we?


Surprisingly, it doesn't worn off. But as you wipe it, even with wet hand, it comes off. Oh well, whaddya expect from jelly eyeshadow?? xD
I was wrong. I once used this for some hang out, no sweating, and I didn't remove them when I took bath and wash my face, and the shimmers stayed, even that the color came completely off.. Not that I didn't clean them properly! But the shimmers in the eyeshadow can't worn off easily. So I need make-up remover for it.. .__.


Conclusion:
Packaging. 2.5 stars. Very ordinary and average, despite it's an eyeshadow.
Color. 4 stars. Very pigmented but not the color I want unfortunately. If you apply it too thin it looks like you've just been hit.
Applicator. 5 stars. Veeerrrrryyy soft. Love it.
Staying power. 3 stars. It's waterproof but 0 on smudgeproof. But the shimmer stays hardly without proper removal
Price. 2.5 stars. Since it's in Singapore it's expensive. If I buy it from Japan I'll rate 5 stars. Seriously!

So what do you think??

I've stocked up some more pics for future post but still not complete...
Hopefully it can be finished this week or else it'll be next week's post. (>v>)
Thanks for reading! Don't forget to follow me! :D
See you all soon!

With love,
Carol

Quick Flash Japan Report!

Hello folks! :D

Sorry for a long hiatus period and I will be hiatus again till I get back to Jakarta... :(

I'm posting this because I just reach my last Japan trip destination: Tokyo. And soon after settled down in my sister's friend's house we went to roppongi and went into they-called Donkey Store.

It's a 6-floored building with different kind of products each floor. And guess what, the first floor is cosmetics! No need to say, I went wild. But not that wild that I bought everything I want, lol. My sis unexpectably grab quite somethings too but only by KATE products.

We bought mostly food and cosmetics..
End up like *k yen to paid! (it's below 4k anyhow)

I'll post A LOT as soon as I got back and also reviews! Wait for me, folks! :D

With Love,
Carol
