"Empties" - "come to an end" products~

Hey, hey~~! ^_-
This is the very first time I am writing a post about the products I have finished during the month. Actually, it is a rare case, when I have more than 3 products coming to an end at the same time. And I don`t like to collect empty bottles -_- But for the sake of the "brad new" entry, I have collected all the "leftovers" of the month. So I am going to write a few words about each product - whether I liked it or not.

1. SKINFOOD Pomegranate Shampoo (헤어로스케어 샴푸액) 320g - This is a shampoo against hair loss and thinning hair. I have to say, the shampoo is just amazing! It worked very good for my hair. The smell is also nice~ ^-^ What I liked the most about this shampoo is that it made my hair less curly and more shiny. And it was also economical - I needed to use a little amount of the product, even though my hair is pretty long. The funny thing is that because of the different water (i guess it was the reason) this shampoo didn`t work at all in Korea, but it was super good when I used it in Russia!  
2. Black Pearl "Ideal skin" body scrub 200ml - the best body scrub I have ever had!! Seriously! This is a Russian product and I usually less enthusiastic when I make a review on Russian products, but this one is worth to be noticed! Not only it has a wonderful coffee scent, but also it made my skin soft and smooth. ^-^ It might be considered a little bit harsh, but I think for body it is a perfect kind of scrub (don`t use it for face though!! ;o). I have been using it for more than half of the year and I will definitely buy it again. 
3. Yves Rocher Jardins du Monde Spanish Pomegranate energizing shower gel 200ml - it has a yummy fresh, little bit sour scent, which really gives some energy and keeps you fresh and alive lol (good for a morning shower!). I can`t say it made my skin moisturized, but I also haven`t noticed any dryness or uncomfortable feeling. 
4. SKINFOOD Rice Mask wash off 100g - what I want to say about this mask.. it wasn`t a "love from the first try" ~kkk At first, I didn`t like it that much. It was fine, but that was all. But when I have used a half of it I have noticed that my skin reacted very good on it. The rice mask works actually like a scrub, as it has this little rice parts on it. It gently removes dead skin cells and makes your face clean and smooth. So for now I can give 5 out of 5 for this product! ^-^
5. NIVEA Intensive care SPF15 lip balm 4,8g - if you have read my early posts you might have already noticed how much I love Nivea lip balms. ;p This particular one is moisturizing and medicated. It protects lips very well from any kind of cold, windy or dry weather. But you have to use it regularly, so you lips will always be beautiful. ^^
6. Etude House Lip & Eye remover (립앤아이리무버) 100ml - this is the only product from this list which I wasn`t over excited. It worked fine.. just fine. Maybe around 3 out of 5. This remover is a two-phased product, so it leaves skin oily after usage. And what I didn`t like is that it took quite a lot of time to remove eye make up. >-<` Even though I have used it on Korean mascaras only. Korean remover can`t remove Korean mascara well.. What the..? Not fun >-<

September favorites~!

Hello, guys~! ;p
How is October? Do you enjoy it~? We have already had snow.. at the end of September T_T so annoying! And today I have woken up just to see that the temperature outdoors was -5`C :o I hate living in the north
-_-`
Anyway, today I have finally decided to write another edition of "the favorite products of the month"! I know, it is kinda late, as half of the October has already passed, but I think it is better to do something late, than never, right? kk
By the way, if you want to know what I have been using (and liking) during past months, you are welcome to check - August and July favorites.

1. Skin care products

1. Hadalabo Gokujyun Deep Moisturizing Lotion 170 ml - very good moisturizing product, which I have been using for more than 6 months now. It works the best if you apply the lotion right after cleansing your face. It makes the skin soft and healthy. Unfortunately, it is going to end this month t_t
2. Dr.POST Snail Collagen Aquaring gel 300 ml - it hydrates, lifts and smooths skin. It is fine to use it all over your face and body. I, personally, apply it as a body "lotion" (gel). It works pretty good and keeps my skin moisturized. 
3. Nature Republic AQUA super aqua max moisture watery cream 80 ml - i can use it at any part of the day, because it soaks fast and doesn`t leave "oily" shimmer on your face. These days I apply it in the morning as a base for powder (powder makes my skin dry, so such moisturizing cream is a must). O, and this cream is for dry skin! Beside this kind, there are also AQUA creams for both oily and normal skin types.

2. Make up and other

1. Etude House Easy peel-off base coat 8 (?) ml - every girl who likes glitter and shimmery nail polishes must have such product! What you have to do with it is just to apply this coat as a base and after ~5 minutes put a glitter or shimmer on the top. When you get tired of your glitter, all you need is to peel of the color! ^^ Super fast and no harm to your nails!
2. Maybelline Colorama Talisman collection #50 Amethyst 7,5 ml - very beautiful color with small shimmer. It looks amazing on nails!
3. Essence Color & go #147 Miss Universe 8 ml - black color (base) with green and blue sparkles. Looks fantastic! ^^
4. Etude House Apricot stick  #1 달콤 포도 - gives light pinkish color and smells like grapes ~so yummy!! >< 
5. Holika Holika Wonder drawing eyeliner auto stick - the best way to use it, is to apply on water line. I prefer to apply it on upper water line - this way it is almost invisible but at the same time it makes your eyes brighter and more noticeable - looks super natural and beautiful! ^^

August favorites~!!

Hi, guys~! ^^
This entry is all about my favorite products of the month - August edition! ;p Thought, I have been using mostly the same products I have included in my July favorites (check it!!), I still have some new products I like a lot and which I want to show you, guys.
As I have done in previous "favorites", I will divide all products into two categories: skin care and make-up & other.

1. Skin care products

1. MIZON Collagen Power firming eye cream 10 ml - I can`t say about great results yet, but I like how this cream makes the skin under eyes lighter and less "tired-looking".
2. Nature Republic Herb Dressing Gold Honey foam cleanser 170 ml - Very soft foam with moisturizing effect. It cleanse very good and doesn`t leave my skin dry and irritated. I like to use it between my favorite SNP Pore cleansing foam.  
3. Nature Republic Phyto Massage cream #Avocado 150 ml - Very rich nourishing cream! I use it ~once a week. It makes the skin smoother and softer.

2. Make-up and other

1. Etude House DBR403 Royal Coral nail polish 10 ml (?) - vivid color and dries fast!! The color reminds me of some yummy water-melon kk It looks super pretty on nails. ^^
2. Etude House PPK006 파티러버 nail polish 10 ml (?) - nail polish has light lavender color with lots of beautiful sparkles of different kinds. I like to apply it on all nails, or just to make an accent on one nail.
3. Innisfree Eco volume mascara #black 6 g - good mascara with the "natural volume" effect. It has classic nice brush which I like so much. ^^ It easy to apply and remove it. 

That`s all for this edition! ;p What are your favorite cosmetic products of the month? Do you like something from my favorites too?

Recent "gets". Ebay haul

Hey, hey~! ^^
I am going to make just a little update of what I have got recently from my e-bay purchase. I like shopping at e-bay a lot >-< And right now I am waiting to receive another 10 parcels lol
Later this month, I have bought two items from a good e-bay seller - f2plus1. He sells lots of Korean cosmetics from different companies. I like to buy at his shop because of good prices and super fast shipping. Besides, I have never ever had any kind of problems with this seller. So, he is highly recommended! ^-^
Anyway, lemme show the items.

1. Mizon Collagen power firming eye cream 10ml

+ 2 samples

(The Face Shop The Smim radiating moisturizing cream & Missha Signature real complete bb cream)

the cream is in very cute tube ;p

It might be strange, that i have bought a firming eye cream, because i am still young and don`t have real problems.. yet -_-` However, I won`t get younger and I thought I have to start taking some care about my eyes too. So there will be no wrinkles and tiredness all around my eyes. I have already started using this cream. I am planning to use it ~2 times per week, maybe 3. After a month or so, I will write a review *if i see any results haha*.

2. Etude house Dear my nails easy peel off base coat 10ml

+ the same samples as for the previous item ^-^

This is a base coat you should apply on your nails right before using any kind of glitter. It will help to remove glitter from the nails super fast, without using nail polish remover! So, you won`t waste the time and nerves, removing sticky glittering nail polishes!! 

Really cool thing~! ^-^

Etude House - Seoul haul~

Hello~! ^-^
While I was in Seoul, I just couldn`t miss super cute Etude House shops!

They are so princess-like - white and very girly. ^-^ And inside it is just as cute as outside ~kk So, it is a pleasure to shop there ;p Even though, I can`t say I am a huge fun of Etude House cosmetics, I have bought a plenty of things there.

1. Milk talk strawberry body wash
2. Royal Jelly honey sheet mask
3. nose patch
4. collagen under eyes patch

[How to] Lip scrub!

Hey, guys~ ^-^
I`m sure, every girl wants to have soft and beautiful lips, without any cracks, peeling parts, etc. Thanks to different cosmetic companies, we could keep our lips in good condition. Just look at all these cute packages of tasty looking lip scrubs from various Korean cosmetic brands!

 

 Etude House Kissful Lip Care Lip Scrub 10g                                             Baviphat Apple Jelly Lip Scrub 6g

 Holika Holika Lip Rescue Trio (scrub)                                              Missha The Style Melting Sugar Lip Scrub

                                                                         

Innisfree Eco Windy Lip Scrub Green Tea 15ml                        Nature Republic Mango Bebe Lip Scrub 10ml   

Tonymoly Kiss Kiss Lip Scrub 9g

Wow! The choice is great. I, personally, want to try them all kkk~ Even though all these scrubs aren`t that expensive I see no reason why I should spend 5-10$ for a small tube or jar of it. Seriously! I know how it is important to take good care of my lips, so lipstick, lip gloss or tint would look great on it. At the same time I want to keep my money.

So, for the ones, who is at the same situation as I am, there is an easy decision - home-made lip scrub. ^-^

Most scrubs are sugar-based, that`s why you could use an ordinary sugar to scrub your lips!

How to:

1. Moisten your lips
2. Put a little amount of sugar in your palm
3. Move your palm to lips and press it, so the grains of sugar will stuck on your lips
4. Gently rub your lips
5. Wash away remain sugar with lukewarm water
6. Use your favorite lip balm.

Scrub your lips 2 or 3 times a week and they will stay soft and beautiful with or without make up! ^-^Y

p.s. You may use salt instead of sugar~ ^-^
