[Review] Tonymoly Baby Doll BB powder~

Annyeong haseyo~! ^-^
Do you enjoy this day? kk I do! The weather is so nice here~ *happy*
Anyways, today I`m going to write a review on my favorite powder - Tonymoly Baby Doll BB Powder #1 Light Beige.
I have been using it for almost a year now and I don`t think it will come to an end any time soon ~lol

15g

my color is #1 - Light Beige

Description

• it helps to control sebum and cover pores
• it contains jojoba oil which makes your skin healthier
• for beautiful and soft skin!

How to use
After applying foundation or bb cream, but the powder on using a puff or a special brush.

As you can see, a package has a puff. But I prefer to use kabuki brush - it`s much easier to apply powder this way. Besides, kabuki brush covers better than a puff.

kabuki brush - best tool to apply a powder!

Tonymoly Baby Doll BB Powder has a light beige color and sweet scent (this is a 1st time when a powder smells so nice! ^^).

It gives no color and obviously, couldn`t cover pimps or acne. BUT this powder makes the skin a little bit lighter and the skin tone becomes so much better! It covers blemishes pretty good, so in the end, the skin looks healthy and beautiful. It also makes my skin soft. I like how I have no oily shine for hours when I use Tonymoly Baby Doll BB Powder! 

just like I`ve said, it gives no color, but your skin looks sooo good with this powder~!

I prefer to apply it on a bare face. However I have also tried it with bb cream (Tonymoly Dear Me Petite Cotton BB Cream) and it works perfectly as well!!

Just let me show you some photos, so you`ll see how actually good this powder is!

FINE Hyaluron & Collagen - Japanese powder for beautiful skin!

Minna-san, konnichiwa~! ^-^
I have read a lot about different Japanese beauty drinks, pills and other skincare supplements. I`m pretty sure you have already heard about it too! However I wasn`t curious enough to try something like that.
At the end of last year, I have read a blog post about some Japanese "powder" and how actually good it is for skin. I don`t know what had happened to me, but I had decided to purchase it as a present to upcoming holidays (Christmas and New Year). It was unusual to me to buy something unknown and expensive just because of one small review. Though, I thought I should give this Japanese supplement a try.
So, here is a hero of this entry - FINE Hyaluron & Collagen.

210g

Description

FINE Hyaluron & Collagen: With Elastin, Hyaluronic acid (HA), fish peptide, collagen, Biotin, Vitamin C, Pearl Coix, (Hatomugi) is a complete formulae for reversing aging, dry, scaly, wrinkled, sagging, age spotted skin by building, youthful, flexible, elastic, radiant, younger-looking firmer skin, and renewing joints, eyes, and connective tissue. FINE Hyaluron & Collagen combines the ingredients necessary to keep your skin moist and firm, looking younger than ever. These are the essences considered essential for beautifying the body from within.

FINE Collagen is derived from fish because it has the same basic molecular components. It helps the body to replenish its own collagen supply and boost collagen cell turnover, assisting the body in making younger-looking and firmer skin. With its premium quality and low molecular weight FINE collagen peptide has greater absorption and utilization than other collagen products.

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is vital to skin. While collagen gives skin its firmness, it is the HA that nourishes and hydrates the collagen. 50% of the HA in our body resides in the skin. Hyaluronic acid production decreases with age causing a reduction in moisture binding capacity, resulting in dry skin and weak joints.

HA, Collagen and Elastin are vital ingredients in maintaining the skin's layers and structure. HA acts as a space filler between cells, while collagen and elastin fibers act as a constant lubricant. HA is also present in the synovial fluid of joints and eyes, providing vital moisturizing protection and flexibility. HA may help slow signs of aging, wrinkles, fatigue, and diminished eye function. FINE HA with its low molecular weight ensures optimum absorption and utilization by the intestinal tract.  ©cosme-de-online

How to use

There is a special 7g spoon inside of the can, so no worries, you will have the exact amount of the powder you need!

Servings per day (7g):

• Hyaluronic Acid - 60mg
• Collagen - 5,250mg

• Pearl Coix Extract - 450mg
• Vitamin H - 45 µg
• Vitamin C - 100mg

Do you see? Your skin is going to be super shiny, healthy and beautiful!! ^-^

My experience
FINE Hyaluron & Collagen costs ~50$ - it`s pricey to me, but it`s also worth the money!
I have used it for 29 days in whole. Every morning I added a spoon in my coffee. The powder has a creamy nice taste (but after two weeks I`ve started to feel kinda sick of this taste, I have just wanted my ordinary coffee taste back! lol~). 
After a week or so, I have seen nothing. My skin was in the same state, no difference. >-<` At least i was happy I had no allergy or pimps because of it kkkk
I have noticed first results after the second week. My skin tone started to improve a little bit. I had no peeling part in my face (usually my skin peel pretty bad during winter time, so I have to use lots of moisturizing cream and other stuff to keep it nice and to get rid of dryness). Seriously! During this winter my skin is so nice, I can`t believe! ^^`
The 2nd important result is that my skin reacts better to all products - creams, lotions, peeling, even make up, such as powder and blush! I mean, even an ordinary cream works way better now, then it was before I start using FINE Hyaluron & Collagen. *I have already finished using this powder, but I still have good skin*

Results
Improved skin tone, marks are less noticeable, no dryness. My skin "feels" and looks better in general.

Will you buy it again?

Definitely! I think i will try another course in two months. But this time I want to test Japanese Meiji Amino Collagen Powder~!

p.s. If you want to try famous Japanese collagen powder, don`t miss the great even! Meiji Amino Collagen PREMIUM 200g (Fish Collagen 5000mg!) is available with 50% off price!!!! The offer works only till the 25th of March. Check out this e-bay seller -> kizuna_japan 

That`s it! 

Ja mata ne~! ^-^Y

[Review] Tonymoly Dear Me Petite Cotton BB cream~

Ta~dah!
Double update today! keke

It`s a winter time and during this season I don`t use bb creams. *because of the cold weather my skin acts different to any bb cream, besides it looks even better without any special coverage on it*. However there is one bb cream I have been using for a long time (in autumn and earlier in summer). I am talking about Tonymoly Dear Me Petite Cotton bb cream #1 Cotton Beige!
How this bb cream looks:

30 ml, SPF 30/PA++

It is really cheap comparing with other bb creams! It costs from 6~10$! *and it lasts forever >-<*

Information:

This bb cream makes your skin baby-soft as it adheres lightly to your skin and gives it a flawless finish. It delivers appropriate makeup coverage to your skin without leaving an oily residue behind. ©f2plus1

It keeps your skin soft and smooth. No trouble or darkening problems. No stickiness, only light feeling and soft finish... Covers all kinds of flaws on the skin and keep your skin tone nice and clean.  ©cosmeticmarket2012

The cream has dark-beige color, thick texture and light nice smell.
Fast and easy to apply on skin, a little amount could cover the whole face.

natural lightening

BB cream fully absorbs in 30 minutes, but even after ~10 minutes you can go out without any doubts - the face color will be just fine ~kkk

natural light

with flash

Tonymoly Dear Me Petite Cotton BB cream leaves no marks, easy feathered. There is no "mask-effect" as well. It provides medium coverage - small problems will be covered for sure, but pimps and noticeable scars/marks need a concealer. This bb cream nicely adjusts skin color and makes the skin look smooth. It brightens skin a little bit *as almost every bb cream*, but it doesn`t make you look like a ghost, no worries! lol~ After 3-4 hours my nose and forehead areas start to shine *I just wipe my face with a blotting paper and the problem is solved kk*.

When I was using it in a daily basis, I have noticed that I had less break outs and my skin looked way better. And yes, because of the SPF I have used it a lot during summer time, though I didn`t use it in a hot weather, because my face felt like in some greenhouse >-<``

There is a photo, where I was wearing  Tonymoly Dear Me Petite Cotton BB cream, however it is quite old. I`m sure you remember that I don`t use bb creams during winter, right? ^-^ 

Rating:  ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

p.s. Even though there was some shortcomings in this bb cream, I still think it is quite good. That`s why I decided to give a maximum rating.

[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~ ^-^

[Review] Innisfree Jeju Volcanic pore clay mask

Annyeong~!!
Finally I would tell you about Innisfree Jeju Volcanic pore clay mask! kkk~ I have been using this mask since March 2012, so for now, I have a full image of the product.
This is how this mask looks:

The jar seems to be quite small (100 ml), but don`t worry! You need a little amount of the product to cover all face. No wonder that almost after a year of using this clay I still have half of the jar left! ^-^

The clay has light grey color (it looks almost white on the photo, but it is because of the flash of the camera >-<`). This is a special type of clay - a volcanic clay from Korean well-know island - Jeju. So, the manufacturer promises a great effect on our skin: 

You definitely should use this clay mask if:

• you have clogged pores
• you have an acne prone skin type
• you have some acne, pimples, etc.

In whole, this is a mask, which cleanse your skin, makes your pores almost invisible, and makes the skin looks healthier, brighter and beautiful. ^-^
There are 3 different ways how to use this Innisfree Jeju Volcanic pore clay mask, which depends on the problems you have:

1. to clean the pores -> put on the mask on the face for 10-15 minutes, after that wash it off with lukewarm water.
2. to remove acne from the nose -> put the clay mask on the nose for the same 10-15 minutes, wash off with warm water after that time and... enjoy your clean nose! kkk
3. to make a pimple disappear -> put the clay mask on a pimple in the evening and leave it for a night. Wash it off in the morning. The pimple will be less noticeable and will disappear way faster, without leaving a mark on the skin. 

How the mask looks in real life on the skin:

By the way, you could put the mask with fingers, but for me, it is easier to use a special brush, because I think it isn`t hygienic to put the fingers in the jar every time you use a clay. >>-<< So, this is the brush I use:

This is the same brush you could use for applying a foundation or bb cream.

Now a few words about the effect from this mask:

As it is a clay mask, it tightens the skin, but not that much as an ordinary clay does. That`s why the is no uncomfortable feelings during the waiting and I don`t want to wash it off immediately. lol After using the mask, my skin becomes soft, nice to touch. It looks clean and smooth, the color becomes better (unfortunately this is a short-time effect :< I mean the color). 

I have a problem skin with big pores and such mask is "must have" to me. Because it also makes the pores tighter and less visible. However this doesn`t last for a long time, just a couple of days after using the mask. But I think it is a really good effect, especially to my skin! kkk~ 

I like to use Innisfree products, because of its Eco-friendly policy and the way the company looks at nature and natural materials: 

Rating:  ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

p.s. even though this clay mask doesn`t change my skin magically, it improves my skin a lot. That`s why I am giving a high rating to it. ^-^
